Well, it's actually a pretty broad job description but they repair and maintain computers and servers. I see, nowadays computers mostly come in the form of laptops and tablets don't they? Yes, most computer technicians prefer fixing laptops over tablets though. I'm assuming because laptops have a common comuter configuration that they are used to like the power supply, motherboard, etc. That makes sense, though I am not familiar with terms like motherboard.

My boyfriend wants to take me fishing! Oh no! Does that mean I have to put worm on a hook?? Typically a fisherman would if you want to catch something you need to, but you can catch things without bait with the right lure. Well that's a relief! I do want to be a good fisherman, but worms are so gross! Depending on the type of fish you are going for you can use different bait. My grandfather swears by marshmellows and peanut butter for cat fish. I don't know...I think I'd end up eating the marshmallows and peanut butter! That sounds yummy! if you like that I think you may like peanut butter and banana sandwich with marshmallow. I love peanut butter and banana sandwiches! I'm eating one right now! Before I go fishing! Maybe you should save some of that sandwich for your hook and you will catch something. Hey, great idea! I'll save the crusts and put them in a baggie and take them fishing with me!

The Navy is almost never mentioned compared to the Army and Marines where I'm from. Yea the navy or maritime force isnt much up for discussion or popularity even though sea based war is so big Agreed, maritime war is so big yet it is really under exaggerated at times. Yep the navy is a branch of the armed forces and used for naval battle but isnt much of a thing So what makes them so different? Do they just train for sea combat and train to use boats instead of other equipment? The entire strategic point of the navy is to protect the borders and shores of a country That makes sense, since all borders eventually end up at some form of water, at least continental wise.
[ "Yep the strategic defense of the navy is a big part of it" ]

I really enjoy vacations to the beach. It's a landform along a body of water consisting of sand. Yes I love going to the beach too The beach has loose particles everyone on it. Those particles consist of gravel, sand, pebbles, shingle, or cobblestones. I prefer a beach with mostley white sand on it. Along with sands, some beaches have man made features like lifeguard posts, showers, and changing rooms. And of course the most important part of the beach is the beautiful sea. Absolutely! There are also wild beaches which are untouched and have preserved nature. I would be a little scare there though, in case there shark or other dangerous animals.

Starbuck company is established in 77 countries. Interesting since it was founded in Seattle, Washington in 1971. This coffee shop serves hot and cold drinks. Do you have a favorite? Have you heard of "second wave coffee" I really like iced tea. No, I haven't heard of «second wavw coffee». What is it ? second wave coffee is what starbucks says they are. It means they are better then everyone else in taste I wonder what is the secret behind their recipe. I think it's that all the coffee that make is based on lighter roast's. Gives it a better taste. I heard that lighter roast coffee has more caffeine. I wonder it it's true.
[ "Caffeine is the most psychoactive drug in the world. But I do not think the coffee roast had to do much with the caffeine anymore." ]
Alcoholism seems to be a big problem in this country. Too many people suffer from alcohol abuse and dependence. Do you agree? Absolutely. I think some people deny that it is a problem for them which just causes more problems, and then others dont know its a problem when it is.

DO you like deep dish or thin crust? I like thin crust pizza with pepperoni. Are there any vegetables or meats that you like to use on your pizza? I like any kind of meat on my pizza! I like chicken, pepperoni, bacon....etc.! One of my favorite things about pizza is how it's so readily available. On nights that I don't feel like cooking, I can use my local pizza delivery! It's the best. Yeah, I do that often as well. Is pizza enjoyed all over the world or is it more of an American/Italian thing?
[ "It's definitely popular all over the world, although some areas have created their own local variants." ]
I love bagels! so good They're so tasty! They originally came from Jewish communities in Poland. Wow I did not know that! I like that they are so dense. One will fill me up. Any other info on them?

[ "It was founded by Bill France Sr. back in 1948." ]
I'm employed as a computer repair technician. I'm finding that more and more people are ditching their home computers for cell phones and tablets, business ha been tough! That makes sense. People are always on their phones now. I guess with changing technologies its good that we can work in both private and the public sector. Companies havent ditched their computers yet. Yeah, I work in healthcare and we use computers all the time still. Colleges and universities now offer specialized programs that teach people how to become computer repairmen? Do they? I've learned basic repair online and built my own computer from online guides.
[ "YEah a lot of people learn on their own and acquire most of the needed skills for the professions. Experienced technicians can work in a variety of fields like data recovery, administration and information systems. Endless possibilities!" ]
I love the way historical fiction can pull you even deeper into a story. Isabel Allende is one of my favorite authors in that she combines that + magical realism. If you have ever seen an old school movie. Then you have come across a historical fiction. As they are a literary genre in which the plot takes place in a setting located in the past. Depends on if the movie is based in fact though, you know? It can be *set* in the past, but not necessarily historically correct. Right. They can be applied to work in theatre, opera, cinema and television, as well as video games and graphic novels Do you have a media that you prefer? I've noticed more graphic novels -- there's one that tells the story of the Buddha quite beautifully. I like historical ones. One thing to note with these genre is that it pays special attention to the manners, social conditions and other details of the period depicted. Historical fiction
[ "Yes, the writers allows you to interpret and better understand how you the reader might have responded to their environments." ]
I really want to live in Iceland. It's a European Nordic Island country in the North Atlantic Ocean. Ive been curious about Iceland lately. Does it have a high population? Id want to visit there some day. Actually, it is the most sparsely populated country in Europe. Oh wow thats wild, What are the best tourists spots in Iceland? Any recommendations? It is volcanically active so there are lots of volcanoes and hot springs! Oh neat! Id love to go see some hot springs and maybe a volcano. But I wouldnt get too close. Does it always stay cold in Iceland? Even though it has a high latitude, it is warmed by the Gulf Stream so the climate is temperate.

Have you heard of PETA? Its the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals. I have heard of them. I just dont know all that much about them. Well, they're an American animal rights organization. When were they started? Not too long ago actually. They were founded in March 1980 by Newkirk and fellow animal rights activist Alex Pacheco. Oh I see. What else should I know about them? Nowadays they focus on opposition to factory farming, fur farming, and animal testing. So you should consider supporting them. How would one go about learning more about them?
[ "You can start by reading up on the Animal Welfare Act and raising awareness about animal rights in your area." ]
My cousin used to play softball, it's a variant of baseball that is played with a larger ball. It looks like a fun sport. I think it will be in the 2020 Summer Olympics. Oh that sounds like fun. I was surprised when I learned that it was invented as an indoor game originally back in 1887. It makes sense because why else mess with baseball lol. I think now most of the players are women. Yes it has been generally known as a women's game earning it many nicknames such as indoor baseball, mush ball, playground, softball, kitten ball and ladies' baseball. I really like the move "A League of Their Own" which documented female softball players taking over during World War II.
[ "Wow that sounds really cool I'm going to have to check that out later. Softball is pretty popular, the World Baseball Softball Confederation regulates rules of play in more than 110 countries." ]

I lived in Florda for about 15 mos. It is an alligator infested, flat, humid swamp with the lowest high point of any US state. Never again. Haha! I live in Florida now! I've been here for 33 years. I love the beaches! They are nice; it has the longest coastline in the lower 48. I'm surprised you haven't gotten sick of the beach though. I did after just over a year. No, I never could. My local beach is only 7 miles away and it's gorgeous. Beautiful blue water! How long has Florida been a state? You'd think I would know that! It was in 1845. It is also the 3rd most populous state. I believe it! It does feel pretty crowded down here, especially when the snow birds come in the winter. Yup, its subtropical climate near Miami (where I lived) attracts many visitors. I lived in Miami for 6 months. I hated it. No wonder you hate the state! Haha! How many people live in Florida?

I don't like to draw much; as an engineering student, though, I do a lot of technical drawing. That may be the wrong career for you then haha, but I am sure it is worth it. I am bad at drawing but still try sometimes!
[ "Maybe lol. The main difference is that artistic drawing is conveying emotion, while technical drawing conveys facts." ]
I really enjoy being a fisherman and trying to catch new types of fish.
[ "Me too! There are about 38 million commercial and subsistence fisherman in the world!It is pretty popular!" ]
Pizza is such a good Italian dish. Absolutely! I like pizza and Italian food. I love the classic with tomato sauce and cheese on it. I like deep dish pizza! Same here, deep dish with the loads of cheese and sauce. Where is your favorite deep dish pizza from? Probably normal Chicago deep dish pizza, I love all the sauce they put on top. For sure. Have you tried a veggie deep dish?
[ "Well cheese and tomato sauce isn't really meaty." ]
I enjoy Las Vegas. My wife and I went there on our honeymoon. I love Vegas due to the gambling and shopping. It's a fun place for sure. Always something going on. Yes, It is the 28th most populated city in the US. I didn't realize that. Would be an interesting place to live. Yes, if you do live there you have to visit The Las Vegas Valley I bet it's a beautiful place.
[ "Yes the mountains are beautiful and basin area is also." ]
I love Golden Retrievers as a choice of a dog for a pet. You ever own one? No I have never owned one, but it would be nice. I do know that they have a distinctive love of water. Yes they do. My dog would always fetch a stick or toy form the lake or ocean.
[ "Really, that's cool. I hear that they are easy to train." ]
I use reddit all the time, i love the discussions and content on there I also use reddit all the time too, it's a pretty great curator of the news. Yea and while the content can be a bit biased on reddit sometimes i still use it for news and stuff I would say the comments can be pretty biased but subreddits like news, and worldnews aggregate the important stories of the day. worldnews on reddit can be very biased tho deleting certain news to fit their narrative but i still really like reddit and its content We will just have to agree to disagree I guess. I still find that by following those subreddits I don't miss any of the important news of the day.
[ "Yea you still get the news and content you need from reddit, it can have some great discussions but some horrible ones too" ]

I found mollusc shells on the beach yesterday. Oh nice, which beach did you find the shells on? Just on a beach in San Diego. That's neat. Are there usually a lot of mollusc shells there? Yes, you can find them on land and in the freshwater. Neat. I don't live close to any bodies of water myself, so I never see that kind of thing! So you have never lived along the coast? That's right. I've always lived in a suburban kind of area. A trip to the beach takes a few hours of driving. It must be nice to live close to a beach.
[ "It is because they have all sorts of resorts and restaurants nearby, it's very fun." ]
I still love listening to my old phonograph vinyl records. I used to have a lot of records. I can't believe the phonograph was invented back in 1877. As of 2017 there were only 48 record pressing facilities remaining in the whole world, only 18 in the United States. Wow. That is crazy. They were originally commonly made from shellac. They didn't start using polyvinyl until the 1950's. I was pretty sad in the 80's when CD's kind of took over, and vinyl pretty much left the market in 1991, but have since made a slight come back, thank goodness!

Philosophy is my favourite course in college Although I was never big on it, I know Philosophy is the study of general and fundamental problems concerning matters such as existence, knowledge, values, reason, mind, and language.

I am a farmer and live on the breeding of animals That sounds like a lot of hard work. What type of animals do you breed? Mostly fungus-growing ants, for the purpose of agriculture. It really is a lot of hard work! How long does it take for an ant to reproduce? Do you keep them inside?
[ "I keep them in a plantation. I also use agrochemicals such as pesticides and fertilizers to speed it up. I keep them outside in the sun" ]
i love watching greys anatomy, the American medical drama TV from that aired first in 2005. Have you ever seen it? no but its quite popular It's good. The title comes from the name of an anatomy text book published in 1858 by Henry Gray. It's pretty interesting to read. huh i didnt know that Yeah, the series is set in Seattle and filmed in Los Angeles. It has a pretty big following. yea it was more popular like 10 years ago tho True. The original title of the show was "Complications" to reference the complicated medical things that they do, but it was changed. good choice, horrible first name

It's just too pop-ish for my taste.
[ "Yes, popular music has an effect on our global culture, and that includes country crossover music." ]
I grew up in a rural area. Whenever someone drove down the street that we didn't know, we would wonder what they were doing there. Since they were in an area outside of the cities, they were probably lost lol! Certainly could have been, or visiting someone. It was a peaceful place, but I live in an urban area now because I hate driving.
[ "Yes, due to the low population density, there would be more driving in rural areas" ]

Other than cayenne pepper, what other spices do you enjoy? I really love Dill! I love to put it on baked potatoes I like the sweet potato myself. I do like baked potatoes, too. Anyway, sometimes the leaves and shoots of sweet potatoes are eaten as greens. Have you ever eaten sweet potato? Yes! I love to roast sweet potatoes with olive oil and different spices Spices are great! Not only for flavor, but also for their antimicrobial properties.
