    Be sure to ask as many questions as possible to one of these companies that you speak, because all these companies have their own advantages, and it is always best for consumers to compare and contrast the performances of different companies before signing on the dotted line.

    The cost of being a nerd is in the wasting of your youth in a library, while watching everybody else get to be a complete idiot with (almost) no repercussions. Then, once you’ve educated yourself to a reasonable level, everybody else thinks you are all weird geniusy science evil doctor and because they cant engage in intelligent conversation you find yourself alone pretty much all of the time. They assume you think you are better than them, and don’t want anything to do with you.
