Wow, I’m near the SkyClub in LAX. Two huge police dudes in full regalia just woke up a scruffy looking kid that was sleeping on the floor…sounds like he has been sleeping in the Delta terminal and hiding out from security for over four days. He definitely seems scared, and is trying not to answer any questions directly. I feel really bad for this kid, he is probably not going to have a good week. I can only imagine what his back story is.

I think they are (maybe?) offering a one way ticket back to Seattle where he flew in from.

Sounds like his family reported him missing on the 4th in Seattle.
The cops tried to put him in touch with his parents, but he refused to talk to them…I want to buy the kid a meal, but he is occupied. Sounds like they are going to kick him out.

It is different but powerful. You just have to accept a 100% different philosophy from traditional stream-based *nix and Windows shells. Being able to pass data structures between commands and their modularity is great in general. The learning curve is steep though because it looks like something invented by the aliens for torturing lesser races.
And then one has nested data structures, not necessarily well documented...

My 12yr old dog wandered off and was gone all day. Facebook is good for finding lost pets. Some highschool kid had picked him up and hung out with him all day. Home safely.
