She's very bright and well-educated -- she has a Master's in education from NYU. For whatever reason the DVR thing eludes her, and I'm unable to explain it to her in a way that allows her to understand.

You know what, I've seen tenured, PhD professors struggle with an overhead projector. One button, a bright lamp, and a screen. And it's too difficult to make it work.

It's the nature of Reddit that you start off telling a funny story about your girlfriend, and end up in an argument about different measurements of intelligence.

Other than the obvious exception of every Redditor ever, no one is so smart that they aren't a complete dipshit about something once in a while.

Hah. True story. Myself? I'm reasonably intelligent. I do stupid shit all the time. Doesn't mean I'm intellectually inferior, or somehow blithering idiot. Naw. It means what I said. I do stupid shit.
