1. What is a mother-in-law suite?
2. What's the quickest way to soothe a sore throat?
1. What is a mother-in-law suite?
What is a "Rillon" and why do Chupacabra's only suck the blood from goats?
This is a thread for anybody to ask questions to which they want answers, and for anybody to answer those questions.
I'm going to start off with two questions of my own:
1. What is a mother-in-law suite?
2. What's the quickest way to soothe a sore throat?
How is is possible that the massive Sun stays stationary in space?
What does Rillion look like?
For a sore throat, I always did a combo punch to make it go away - this is before, when I had to sing a lot. There's a tea called Throat Coat that soothes for me really well. It's not the greatest tasting stuff, but you can get it at GNC, Vitamin World, any health food store, and even most regular grocery stores. The lemon variety that is a bit better tasting is a little harder to find. It's wacky, but it helps. Also, the Cepacol lozenges or spray, or Chloraseptic (same thing), since they contain a local anesthetic and numb the area. Also, if you stick to room-temperature and warmer beverages it will feel better. I hated that part, because I looove massive amounts of cold water, but it does help. And finally, if you have a humidifier, use it. If not, stay in a hot, steamy bathroom for a while.

I always imagined you would have a good singing voice, you just have that look :)

Haha. I'm not too bad. I sang at Carnegie Hall once with strep throat. That fucking blew. :lol:

I've heard there is some truth to this..but salt water gargle is the best that I know of.

Oh sheet mang, that's awes0me. I wanna hear you sing!!!
I think I can sing, so try...and fail miserably.
My mom once asked me if I could lip synch because I was giving her a migraine.
Bitch.

I actually think it is moving (if the universe is expanding, that is), but that has nothing to do with its size.

I cannot stand this stuff, but Mr. Joy swears by it. Alternates between mugs of Throat Coat and Cold Care when he gets sick. I stick with the Cold Care tea with a touch of honey. Or hot lemonade.
Why do you never find relish on a relish tray?
For immediate relief of a sore throat, use Chloraseptic (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chloraseptic). The only problem with it is that it is imprecise, numbs anything it touches, and doesn't last as long as I would like. Ricola cough drops are my favorite (honey lemon...I eat those things like candy when I have sore throats). Tea is also good.
If you have a doctor friend, you can also get yourself a prescription for steroids. That's more for if you've got something long-term like Mono. I only know that because I did this when I got Mono while I was in a musical. Strangely, a very low fever and the sore throat from hell were my only symptoms.

I sang at Carnegie Hall once with strep throat. That sucked. The doctor wanted to give me steroids, but I declined on account that I'm hairy enough. That and he made them out to be way scary. :lol:
Today was an odd day for my company's stock, and I'm a bit embarrassed by the stupidity of a trade by one of my fellow, low-level coworkers. There were 0 trades all day until almost the end of the day (which is particularly strange, we usually have over 10k trades in a day). Asks were around $4, bids must've been around, oh, $3.02. Well, someone, I'm not sure who, decided to sell his or her Employee Stock Purchase Plan shares from Q4...all 114 of them (I'm almost certain it was a coworker who bough shares through the ESPP because 114*$2.20, the strike price for Q4 shares under the ESPP, is $250...nice and round). This trade, while stupid for many reasons (seriously, you paid a $13 commision on a $344 trade? ...and you either asked $3.02 or put in "market price" without checking volume and bid/ask?), singlehandedly dropped the stock $0.10 for the day (a bit over 3%) to $3.02.
Now ask is $5.73 and bid is $1.01. It's almost comical. Scratch that, it is comical. I guess we'll see what happens when earnings are released. My guess is the person who sold today will not be too happy.
Idiot.

Anyone know anything about Dave Henderson or Lawrence Samuels in California?
I just had coffee with Lawrence and wanted to know if anyone knew anything about either one of these guys.

this "someone" decided for themselves when to "get out"...no shame in making that call for yourself...a person must know his or her limitations...
what if the stock dies...or lies at a few cents for a year or two...then this person's decision becomes more "acceptable"...
your assertion that their choice to sell at a buyer's price has shown that the stock was/is over-valued is correct...
it's called the free-market...
and for those who are "into" over-valued "anything"...some will get "bailed-out"...some will get fucked...
guess your co-worker didn't want to get fucked anymore...
go figure...

Canned potatoes work just fine when making a small pot of soup or stew. I usually keep the following on a shelf to make soup. 1 can each of potatoes, green beans, corn, sliced carrots, diced tomatoes. A thingy of beef bullion, and a chunk of beef in the freezer. Thats a fresh pot of beef veggie soup on a saturday without leaving the house. Whole thing costs maybe $9.
The potatoes are no different than what you'd get in a can of soup.

I know redistribution of wealth is frowned on by a Libertarian. I heard Ian say FSP had 655 members, so it may be awhile til New Hampshire is set free. Meanwhile in the U.S.A. Bruce Williams overnight suggested any stimulus payments to the American people should be made in the form of a prepaid debit card w/ 6-mo. expiration. He believes this would be the fastest way to get commerce moving. Done in this way people could not save the cash or pay down existing debt. thoughts?

Yeah, I wouldn't say she's fat. She's just wearing some incredibly unflattering clothes and she's not thin.

Find something about her to compliment-- something you actually like, so you don't have to fake it. But don't do it right after meeting her; wait a little bit. That way it won't look like a blatant attempt to get in her good graces.
Also, this is going to sound weird, but reading about biases suggests to me that it might work: ask her for a favor. To borrow a book, or something. You would think that giving somebody something or doing something for them would be the more promising way to get them to like you, but actually people can come to like you because of something they did for you. The reason it works is because people like to justify their own actions in their head. If she did something for you (her mind will say), that must be because you deserve it because you're somebody she cares about.

I call fucking bullshit on all you motherfuckers. Jessica Simpson may be dumb as fuck, and she may need to fire her stylist for that double gold belt, but fat she is not.
How much body fat does one have to have before being correctly categorized as fat?
When did white guys start finding big Jennifer Lopez type butts pleasing to the eye? 1992, 1993, or later?
What caused the shift, in societal terms, for male caucasian's desire for big butts?
Do not pander to a mom. It sounds extremely basic, but be yourself. Relax a LOT. If she thinks you're trying to put on a show, her radar will go off. Put a little "Hey, how ya doin'?" into your game. That'll make the dad think you're cool, too. Most men like a woman who has a slight 'one of the guys' streak in her, like a chick who is comfortable wearing a blazer casually instead of girly shit. Girly-girls are high maintenance, and that worries the folks bigtime. You strike me as that sort anyway, so roll with it.

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here. I like you Joy. :wink:
But is 'nuther a word? I guess it could be used as abbreviation for "another". But in the context that you used it, another cannot be substituted in. However I completely understand, and use this "word" in conversation just like you did.
Therefore I'm going to declare "nuther" a word.
So let it be written. So let it be done!

I prefer Playstation 3
- MGS4 is so fucking awesome looking
-ResEvl 5 is gonna look sick as shit, on pre-order baby!!
-Bioshock has extra material
- It's never given me the red ring of death ;)
I own all 3, and I couldn't live w/o my blue rays...or my Folklore...or my Mortal Kombat vs. DC Universe ;)
but if you ever wanna play me at Uno on Xbox live I will kick your ass....my tag is: kikkibubbles
I miss my Sega, it died 2 months ago :(
PC games system > Everything.
Fact.
Where the hell are you geting your facts from? :lol:
My ass, mostly. :P
Though technically the PC handles better performance than any console can. You just have to fork out a wee bit more for it.
Why do guys who are in a relationship attract more women than single guys?Short answers:
If a guy has a girlfriend or wife, then he's obviously relationship material, and has qualities necessary to attract a mate.
He's less likely to be acting like a predator, meaning women will just feel more at ease around him (this one is easy to see in a friendly gathering, where the women have no idea the guy is already involved).

It's gotten long enough that it I'm always accidentally pinning myself when I lean back in a chair, even if it's in a ponytail. I have oodles of hair clips, clasps, and bands. Can never find them, as they are often used for lego man slingshots, or to form the monsterous jaws of a k'nex robot, etc. I do always have a pencil though. Maybe I can offer a short term amnesty for the return of all stolen hair thingies.

Men who are attached are attractive because they can show that they're capable of being attached to someone, and you can see what their relationship style is like. But even more attractive are single men who don't hate their exes and whose exes don't hate them.

Is there any correlation between emergence on one layer of any substrate to that of preceding layers n - 1 below it? (Note: it's a strange question that came to mind when I considering emergence of the nervous system and that of the brain...)

Men who are attached are attractive because they can show that they're capable of being attached to someone, and you can see what their relationship style is like. But even more attractive are single men who don't hate their exes and whose exes don't hate them.

What is the best "low fantasy" novel that any of you have read?
How much wood would a wood chuck chuck if a wood chuck was smoking pot
Why has no one responded to my post on the post pictures of your pets thread?

Not sure what "low fantasy" is, but I loved the Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever series, the One Tree and all those.

How many of you immunize/d your kids?
My little one was immunized at the hospital, without my consent and then her pediatrician told me that I was risking her life if I did not get her the recommended shots at the recommended ages.

There aren't cornfields, but plenty of desert. Just make sure you dig the hole before you show up with a package. Otherwise anyone could show up and then you have to dig more holes. You could be there all fuckin' night.

My personal opinion is that the vaccine-autism link is bullshit. That seems to be supported by most science. The guy who supposedly showed a link has also been discredited: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/life_and_style/health/article5683671.ece
I also just don't see the evidence in my everyday life. There are tons of people who are vaccinated against all sorts of diseases and those vaccinations work. We have seen growing numbers of children with autism, but we're also better at diagnosing it and there's a lower infant mortality rate than there used to be. So, IMO, vaccination-autism fears belong somewhere very close to homeopathy, which I believe is complete bullshit.

I think that things like women being older when they get pregnant can cause autism as well. I'm not sure though. Thought I read it in one of those women's magazines though.

Wired Magazine printed an article about the rise in Autism & Asperger's, which places some of the blame on the rise in the number of nerds, and their increased chances of spawning children. Kids have so much going on in their heads that they have difficulties processing outside stimuli in the "normal" ways.

I don't know what community you're talking about or the autism rate there. Since the rate of autism according to Wikipedia is about 0.1-0.2%, in a population of 40k random people you'd expect, on average, to find 40-80 autistic people. Of course, not every group is random and you will definitely see variations (which are especially noticeable at the extreme ends such as a disease that affects a tenth of a percent of the population). Autism appears likely to be linked to genetics, especially since 4.3 males have it for every female. Given that males are much more likely to have genetic issues because they lack two X chromosomes, that explanation would make sense. I don't see 4.3 males getting vaccinated for every female getting vaccinated.

I will try and find the name of the community. I believe I may read about them on Lew Rockwell.
Is there a close enough (+/- .5 of 4.3) rate of male to female rate with other genetic defects? If not the rates between the two sexes are negliable would it be scientifically acceptable to rule out the lacking X chromosomes as a cause?

and
The Magnificent 7
Basically all the best parts of every western (minus the sex) all wrapped into one.

Partly because it ended without a wrap-up - left far too many loose ends.

I really like doing the same thing, Brasky-- find a series that people say is awesome but finished, and then get the entire thing on DVD and watch it over the course of a weekend (or multiple weekends, depending on how long it is). We did that with both Firefly and Deadwood. Both are absolutely worth it.
Firefly takes place on a spaceship and involves all sorts of futuristic technologies, so technically it IS "sci-fi," but Star Trek it definitely ain't. Don't let the space aspect put you off, as it's mainly just a setting for a story that could take place anywhere.
The word I would use for Deadwood is "gripping." There are places in it that are very fucked up, and one episode in particular that I just wish I hadn't watched, but every single character in it is priceless. (Developing a minor crush on Doc Cochran didn't hurt)
No reason it can't be a good dog if it's still young. Do the obedience training at Petsmart, it'll be good for both you and the dog.
Never mention again that it's half wolf lest the goons take it away.
I can certainly see that keeping her wolf heritage private would be a good thing, although luckily Texas law doesn't seem to have a problem with that. But if anyone here happens to know about any problems that might present in terms of raising and training her, I'd really appreciate it.
We've been dog-sitting this puppy for two weeks now, and sometimes she aggravates the hell out of me and sometimes I think it might actually be a good idea to keep her. Her owner can't keep her, and is looking for someone to take her.

Problem: I've never raised a dog, and neither has my boyfriend. This dog is half husky, half wolf, so she's going to be big. She's already big, as far as I'm concerned. She knows what "sit" means, though she hasn't mastered "fetch" yet (doesn't want to return anything). She can amuse herself by chasing things around on the floor, reminding me of a cat. Boyfriend gave her a slice of carrot earlier, and she played hockey with it for about 20 minutes.
I just really don't know whether it would make sense to keep or, or whether it would turn out to be a terrible decision.

I had the same type of breed when I was young (husky and wolf). The dog was great with us, but was extremely territorial. She would jump the fence some nights and go out hunting, and bringing back chickens from I don't know where. Feathers would be all over the front and back yard, bloody carcase in her dog house. We would go outside in the morning and see them all over the front yard and quickly have to pick them up before the person whose chicken coop she got into came by to see it. Other times we would come home to find her sitting on the lawn in front of our house. I suppose she felt like she was protecting it. Despite being tied down and fenced in, she jumped into the neighbor's yard and killed their cat! Another occasion she jumped into the neighbors yard and bit a woman who lived there. Not good. It was a fatal mistake on her part. :(
We tried to do everything we could to keep her fulfilled by taking her for walks and playing fetch, but her will was too strong to be fully submissive to anyone in our family. We would tie her up in the back yard but she was too smart and would always find a way out.
But believe me she was never violent with any of us kids. She was the best dog I had ever had. Smart, loyal, and loving. But if my dad or another adult pushed her too hard to do something, she wouldn't take it.
After she bit the neighbor we had to put her down. :( I was about 12 years old and I loved that dog. It was a extremely sad.
Unfortunately, I would advise to not keep this dog if it is the first one you have ever had. IMO this dog will have a strong will, be tough to keep in a confined area, and will fight you to lead the "pack". All of these traits are difficult things for any dog owner to have to deal with, let alone newbies. I wish you the best of luck. You could overcome all of these things but we were not able to.
Temperament and Behavior
Wolf-dog hybrids are a mixture of genetic traits, which results in less predictable behavior patterns compared to either the wolf or dog.[1] This is not to say that the behavior of any specific hybrid is erratic. It would, however, be unlikely that someone unfamiliar with an individual animal would be able to predict that animal's behavior with reasonable certainty. The adult behavior of hybrid pups also cannot be predicted with comparable certainty to dog pups, even in third-generation pups produced by wolfdog matings with dogs or from the behavior of the parent animals.[1] Thus, though the behavior of an individual wolf hybrid may be predictable, the behavior of the type as a whole is not.[1] The majority of high wolf-content hybrids are very curious and are generally more destructive than dogs.[26]
According to the CDC and the Humane Society of the United States, the wolfdog ranks sixth in the number of dog attack fatalities in the U.S.; with 14 hybrid-related fatalities between 1979 and 1998 in the United States.[27] [8] In 2000, DEFRA and the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals released a lengthy study that attributed much of the reported aggressiveness of wolfdogs to the characteristics of the breeds of dogs the wolves are bred with. With both wolves' and dog's social habits revolving around a pack structure, wolfdogs may not show the dog's natural acceptance of humans as the dominant pack members, possibly resulting in physical confrontations.[1] Some purport that attacks may not even be caused by typical behavior patterns of aggression and dominance present in either parent species, but instead may be related to predatory instincts, as the majority of attacks involve small children.[1] Between 1981 and 1999, there have been 38 severe attacks and 13 fatalities caused by wolf hybrids in North America, with all victims being children.[28]
The probability of aggressive behaviour from a hybrid peaks at the onset of sexual maturity, when the animal attempts to achieve dominance over other pack members. This aggression tends to peak during the winter months when hormones run high. Attacks may also be spurred by people becoming suddenly and conspicuously vulnerable due to either injury, disease or fear. Some half-hearted test attacks may be misinterpreted as play, and result in the owner failing to discourage such behaviour.[26] An officer in the South African Defence Force once commented that it was very difficult to dissuade wolf hybrids from pressing an assault once an attack was initiated.[6]
Most wolf and wolfdog rescue organizations maintain wolfdogs retain many of the traits and requirements of their wild relatives and therefore may be inappropriate as domestic pets.[29][30] The view that aggressive characteristics are inherently a part of wolfdog temperament has been contested in recent years by wolfdog breeders and other advocates of wolfdogs as pets.[31][32] Proponents of wolfdogs as pets say that the animals are naturally timid and fearful of humans, but that with proper training and responsible ownership wolfdogs can become good pets.[33] [32] Even in cases of wolfdogs displaying consistently dog-like behavior, they often retain the wolf's natural curiosity; driving them to dig ferociously, chew up household items such as furniture, and, to varying degrees, display considerable difficulty in housebreaking.[1] [34]

But believe me she was never violent with any of us kids. She was the best dog I had ever had. Smart, loyal, and loving. But if my dad or another adult pushed her too hard to do something, she wouldn't take it.
After she bit the neighbor we had to put her down. :( I was about 12 years old and I loved that dog. It was a extremely sad.
Unfortunately, I would advise to not keep this dog if it is the first one you have ever had. IMO this dog will have a strong will, be tough to keep in a confined area, and will fight you to lead the "pack". All of these traits are difficult things for any dog owner to have to deal with, let alone newbies. I wish you the best of luck. You could overcome all of these things but we were not able to.
FSM forbidMay his noodly appendage touch you! I am the head honcho for my local area's Pastover celebration this year aka Flying Spaghetti Monster Feed held on that Sunday Christians call Easter Sunday. We'll be having a Pirate costume contest, door prize, music and entertainment. I highly recommend holding one in your area too.

Look, I've been posting on this forum for two years plus, and I've seen a lot of trolls come and go. You're no different. Additionally, the next time Brasky comes to the forum, I give even odds that he'll just delete your posts. So, whatever.nothing would bring me greater satisfaction :D
I'm not kidding about this. I don't expect any official endorsement by any group. But I would like someone who knows official procedure to hook me up with a few links, so I can officially submit my application for presidency to the United States Government. Once that is officially recognized, I will submit it for endorsement to the various things like the FSP.
I appreciate any comments.
I will not delete trolls from this thread.
I put that there specifically for him. I knew he was gonna do this right from the start. We can't have nice, civilized discussions with people like him around, and this once again proves it. He hasn't really broken any 'rules', he's just a tenacious annoyance with way too much time on his hands to derail and destroy the continuity of any thread. Hansen did this exact pattern.
I give John or Lindsey permission to delete all his posts in this thread. I have the delete button at my disposal, so I could do it myself. So technically, that absolves them of overstepping any Mod bounds.
Anyhow, enough time has been wasted discussing the child. He's as predictable as sunrise.

What is something original to say on a "Get well" card that has been passed around the office. I get it last and everyone else has signed it and said "get well", and "hope you feel better" and all that stuff already. Now I have to say something to a guy who I barely know except for exchanging the occasional friendly nod and "good morning".
Is there something in the order of light humor or general warmth without feigning an undue level of familiarity?

:lol: I'm gunna use that one.
I hate to say it, but it looks like we're not going to adopt the dog. Primary reasons:
1. Too smart, ironically. Unfortunately intelligence leads to boredom. She's destroyed flower pots, flung her food bowl under the fence, and you can play with her for quite a while only to have her come up to you whining when you sit down to do other things.
2. Bad use of teeth. She snaps at your hands when you pet her-- not hard, but that sets a really bad precedent.
3. Boyfriend and I are both laid back people, and we're basically making a new start.....packing up to move to a new house, one with a good fence but a relatively small backyard, and we're both going to be working full time. Not a good atmosphere to have a puppy in.
4. Wolf hybrid. Commitment for the next 10-15 or so years. Two people who have never owned a dog. It would be like adopting a furry, snappy child. It's just too much for us to handle at this point.
She might be a good dog for us to own five years from now, but not now. It really sucks.

Verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry intriguing. We were thinking GPS company or something. Since we thought one was based in Atlanta. We were way off, but yours sounds cooler to me.

It's quite a bit of fun for me. Plus, I usually only work 10-15 hours a week. Could do more, but I don't wanna.
But, I'm about to tell my clients that I'll be officially quitting. As much as I enjoy doing this, we're bumping up against the edge of our tax bracket. If we go over, the additional tax bill after the phase out of deductions and credits will eat up everything I currently keep after today's taxes. :x
I'll then be officially unemployed, and eligible for tax credits on tuition. Wonder what I should train for - that I won't actually be able to do anything with, unless I want to hand the paycheck over to the government each month.
Any thoughts on which direction I should take with my future career as an "unemployed" student?

Go to Liberty university. Or study whatever you have always thought was really cool to know.
Maybe teaching would be a good use of your time - not public school of course, I wouldn't wish that upon someone I like.
Did you just suggest that someone go to the university founded by Jerry Falwell? :shock:

Boyfriend and I were drunk off our ASSES last night. That's the only time we are occasionally somewhat shitty to each other.
The new house is about twice as big as this one, though, and I will have my own office! That is 40,000 kinds of awesome.
In the meantime, hangover.
My question is now how to avoid killing my boyfriend's brother. He lives with us because he's 36 and completely lacking in any concept of responsibility.
Poked his head in the room and said "Hey, you guys know how to lose weight? Poverty. I've lost like 20 pounds over the last six months or so."
No, dumbshit, you did not lose 20 pounds due to "poverty." You're broke, yes-- because you can't be bothered to get anything better than a part time job that pays $10 an hour, you've got debt all over the place, and you spend all of your earnings on pot. But Boyfriend has been buying more than enough groceries for all of us (yes, I contribute). That kitchen is always full of food. It's not that he's "poor," it's that nobody prepares his meals for him.
Broke? Yes-- self-inflicted. Poverty-stricken? No, you fucking ungrateful dickhead.
It's like living with a perpetual teenager. I kind of wonder if he's retarded.
This is my all-purpose relatInship advice: accept her completely as she is or walk away. There is no changing of people - and it would be disrespectful to try.

My Question: How can I get my girlfriend to stop being so religious?
You can't. If she's going to stop being so religious, it'll happen when she's ready.
If you want her to stay your girlfriend, the best you can do is to agree to stay away from religious issues.
You're not going to convert her, and she's not going to preach salvation.
Granted, if she's a zealot, she may dump you under the "be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers"

My Question: How can I get my girlfriend to stop being so religious?
As terrible a question this is I somehow didnt notice until last week that my GF falls into the crazy religious type category.
(I havent been dating her too long but really I've known her for years)
Problems:
She claims to believe everything in the bible.
She thinks that if you go to a "psychic", any professional one will do, and they "curse your family" bad things will happen to your family.
example: her alcoholic drunk/drug user mom supposedly went to a psychic and the psychic told her her next born would die, and the kid died stillborn
She is horribly superstitious of the number 666 AND 999...
She says she is "christian." Just that, not a specific denomination.
She forcibly claims that Catholics are NOT Christian, and gets mad when I try to explain to her that yes, they are.
She says that the Catholic Church is the Anti-Christ 0_o
I'm just a raised Lutheran, Universal Life Church Minister, now an Atheist.
Whatcha think ya'all?

I dont have a "right" to change her. But I can present her with rational ideas and set a spark in her mind perhaps.
Like when she says a psychic can curse her family, I can say, "No, really I dont think it can."
Then offer ideas of why the bible is full of BS.

If that is your attitude, then you are just as much of a missionary as she and any of her family members, church friends, etc., who try to preach conversion to you. You'll just be quoting scientists and philosophers instead of scripture.

It depends what the email says. Does it have a link where you "log in" using your credit card number?
It's most likely automated so even if the balance were zero you'd still get an email. I did for 2 or 3 months after closing the account.

Well, it's a User ID and password, but they had the last four digits of the account number listed, and it's the only one I ever had with them. I finally got through to the website (it said borked), and it says the balance is zero - which I knew - and that the account is restricted with a credit limit of zero. I'm wondering if I need to call and scream at someone.

Probably not. I'd think the regular login on their website would be enough to confirm that the account is closed. They're a little slow to stop the emails though.
Have you gotten emails from them before?

In fairness, there are ways to live with someone with different beliefs. I was raised catholic. My whole family is catholic. I married a catholic woman. Before we got married we knew each other for about 10 years. We had many, many talks about what we believe and don't believe, how we would behave after married, and - most importantly - how we would raise our children.
We've now been married > 9 years and are happy with our life. We don't argue about religion because there are no surprises and we don't feel the need to persuade each other of anything - because we've already talked it all out.
Imagine living with somebody who is going to freak out if her new license plate or telephone number happens to have a 666 or even a 999 on it.
QuoteImagine living with somebody who is going to freak out if her new license plate or telephone number happens to have a 666 or even a 999 on it.
That's really whats freaking me out the most. Everybody seems to have slightly different religious/spiritual beliefs, but she saw a storefront the other day whose address was 999 and she flipped out. I did a literal "lolwut?" (same as with the psychic curse thing) and just went "um, really?".
Put yourself in her shoes, not everyone can be as "rational" as you. However think about it this way...as an atheist, how are you so sure there is no god? Both of you are making very specific claims that neither one of you can prove.
So I could make the argument that you are just as crazy as her for thinking there is no god. But that is another debate.

So… I just finished a photo shoot for a friend. It was her wedding present for her soon to be husband and it turned out really good. I even got paid for it, so I guess you could say I am a professional photographer… (Not really). She did a 15 month calendar, with monthly appropriate themes, really cute.
I know a lot of dudes/gals on this forum are into video games (as am I), and I was wondering if you had a gf and she wanted to do something nice for you, like a gift, would you like a video game themed calendar of your girl dressed up like your fav female characters?
I was thinking of doing this for my guy, not nude, but racy. I am not sure if I can think of 12 female video game characters that I could easily portray, so my other thought was doing a video game “magazine.”
Kind of like a sexier, shorter version of “Game Informer”? Pics of me dressed as Jill Valentine, Chun Li, Ivy, Lara Croft etc…, Vg review articles, vg jokes, just silly shit like a real magazine, but with me in it and on the cover. I'm pretty creative with Photoshop so I know I could pull it off. I have a lot of props and wigs from other shoots I have done. It won’t look exactly the same, but I'm pretty good with make-up so I know it won't be complete shit.
Just looking for some more ideas, or suggestions…or if you think this is a bad idea. :)
I think it's a great idea. The only video games I play are call of duty and gran turismo so there aren't a lot of females there, so it wouldn't work for me as much as someone who was, but even I know who Lara is, and I think I know who Chun Li is.
It seems to me, stuff like this would sell pretty well. Maybe you should start advertising on craigslist. Come up with a few themed projects like that which would be easy to reproduce. Green screening and one-size-fits-most costumes it seems would be essential.
If this were your kid, what would you do?

Did you notice the sweet facial coloring? Very tribal.
Then, I'd probably make him give the dog a bath.

Boyfriend: Man, things are different now. Different neighborhood, different atmosphere, all of my friends are having babies (one of his good friends is having a baby next week).
Me: Yeah, and.....that's good, isn't it? Well, except for the baby thing. I mean, it's great if they want babies. But you don't, right?
Boyfriend: Uh, no. If all of my friends were doing heroin-- do I want to do heroin? If they're jumping off bridges, do I want to do it?
Me: So...nothing's changed there?
Boyfriend: Hell no. You don't have anything to worry about, babe.
Me: Yay.

This made me really sad in an Idocracy kind of way. Sure, let the immoral, stupid, hyper-religious, statist, military worshipping assholes outbreed the intelligent, decent human beings. I'll do my best to make up for it, though.
My mother wants to get a tattoo in honor of her 65th birthday. It will be her first, and probably only, tattoo. I just got off the phone with the tattoo artist. I want it to be great, and searched carefully for which artist to do it. I just hope she's not shocked at the price or how long it will take to do it, because I think he can really do a work of art on her leg.
Now I have to decide if I want the same thing. It would be really cool to get one with her, but a) I don't have much money, and b) I don't know whether to try and get the same thing because it wouldn't be exactly the same. She wants one kind of flower-- her favorite. Maybe I should get another kind.

I think that's pretty cool, even if you're not ready for your own tattoo. Hang out and talk about the milestones in your lives, and what flower or other design you will get when you hit the birthday or event you wish to mark. Probably be a good way to keep her mind occupied during the time.
To be clear, I already have three tattoos-- they're not a new thing for me. And each has marked an important occasion in my life. My mom turning 65 and deciding to mark the occasion with a tattoo is actually an important occasion for me as well, because it's something she wants to do with me and that means a lot.
A tattoo done right, I think, is partially made up of two factors-- the "looks good" factor and the "meaningful" factor. You don't want to exclude either one, or else you end up with an unwanted eyesore. Maybe I'll go in with the full intention of getting something nice for my mom....and if I end up walking out of it with a daffodil on me somewhere, then so be it.
[A daffodil? Is your favorite flower, or is it one of the things symbolized by the daffodil from the history of sending messages with blooms?
I just got these for my girls, and they love them. The phone itself is about $119, and you get 50 back. Verizon. A single plan is $55/mo, you can include Boyfriend on Fam Plan for $79 (I think). Unlimited text plan, 700 minutes per month, and Verizon callers call each other free, it doesn't deduct minutes if you're in-network with the other caller.
The screen is touch/drag. QWERTY, all sorts of slick features, the phones are very underpriced IMO. It requires no 'data plan' which Blackberries do. It includes a quality camera (quality for phones, anyway).
(http://mobile.dpszone.com/images/Samsung-Glyde-Touch-Screen-Phone-from-Verizon-1.jpg)
They are approximately as long as a CD jewel case, which is roughly 4.5 inches, it remains flat when you use it as a phone. They're very solid, not cheap or flimsy at all. I like it a lot.

Actually, those phones slide closed. So it looks like you're talking to a flat, oblong piece of black glass.
I'm still pretty impressed with them.
I actually prefer my phone, but I don't text.

I think one of my employees at work has that one you bought for your girls. I saw another one of them with one that opens two different ways. It flips open like a regular flip phone and then flips open sideways with a whole keyboard and stuff.

The only time I've had messed up graphics like that was on a PC with a dying video card. Hopefully it's something simple like that rather than more corrupt data, etc.
I'm still doing the data recovery thing myself.. bleh.
Boyfriend's computer is fucked up.....
First, his external hard drive took a dump last week. Took it to the local data recovery place; they agreed to recover the data and transfer it to a new external hard drive which he supplied for them.
He's been transferring files to the new external hard drive all afternoon. Says he finished a few hours ago, but the new hard drive was still hooked up the computer.
Then he got the Blue Screen of Death. So far as I know, he rebooted and things were working fine.
Then later I come downstairs, and he's very unhappy. I ask what's wrong, and he says "Go start up my computer and see." What happens is that the computer goes to the start-up menu, but it's all fragmented-- the words are chopped in half and repeated all over the screen. If you tell the computer to go through its normal start-up process, what you see is the start-up loading screen splattered all over the place.
I unplug the external hard drive from the computer, make sure nothing else is attached to it except the mouse and power cord, and restart it. Same thing happens. No "safe mode" is offered. No error messages are given. The end of my very limited trouble-shooting ability has been reached.
Any ideas?

Thank you.. good news to report actually. I found the missing backup that holds 90% of all my family pics and vids! So while I haven't yet recovered my work and artwork, at least I have almost all the good stuff.
Any progress on your end?
Well, we went with the "bad video card driver" theory and tried downloading a new driver, which seemed to work just fine upon restarting....until he tried to play WoW again. Then the same thing happened-- the screen froze, then went to black, then the startup screen was all wonky. That happened a couple of times, and then he left it alone for about an hour-- off, not on. Then he started it up again, and then cautiously started WoW again, and....it seems okay. He played for a couple of hours or so without incident. So we're cautiously optimistic, without really understanding what happened. Meanwhile, I'm going to investigate whether his Nvidia card was actually recalled, and if anything can be done about that.
Do blind people listen to pornography?
Do blind people listen to pornography?
You mean pornographic movies? I don't know. I bet they call phone sex lines, though. For the right amount of money, you could probably get someone to give play-by-play on the porn movie you're listening to. "Now she's lying down on the pool table, and he's hiked up her skirt. He's pinching her nipple...now he's licking it....."

Can you do an audiobook of this instead of that boring Mary Ruwart shit?
Well, I'm working on hour 2* of my quest to get this problem handled. At the moment I am on hold with a rep named Henry who has assured me that Dell will take care of the problem, at their cost, and that I'll get a box I can use to return the laptop (Vostro 1400) to them. He has said that it should take 2-3 days for the box to arrive.
When I first started this process I followed the directions laid out in this post. That first led me to the extended warranty site, then I was transferred to hardware troubleshooting, then customer care (disconnected). After that, I called customer care again where they assured me that the warranty was expired so they transferred me back to warranty sales. Warranty sales quoted me a price of roughly $250 to purchase the extended warranty. At that point, I said thank you to the woman I was speaking with and told her that I would have to call back once I had my emotions under control.
After having a smoke and a drink and after thinking about taking the little Vostro out back for a serious encounter with some buckshot I calmed down enough to call tech support again. That's where I'm currently at in my saga. Please hold for 5-8 minutes until Henry comes back on the line.
<silence on line>
Henry came back on the line, apologized profusely and assured me that my return shipping box would arrive in 2-3 days. He said it would be 5-8 days after that before I got the computer back (note: I was also instructed to remove the hard drive and the battery and to send the AC adapter back with the machine).
I'm assuming Henry has been honest with me although I reserve total judgement until 1.) the box arrives and 2.) the machine is returned in working order. As it stands right now, Henry has restored my faith in humanity and also preserved my opinion of Dell. If any Dell manager needs Henry's rep id, please contact me and I will provide it. Assuming everything goes as promised, Henry's outstanding service will lead to more orders from me in the future. Give him a raise because his help, understanding and knowledge did more for Dell's reputation than any commercial on TV.
*This does not count the 4-6 hours I spent yesterday attempting to get anything but a black screen when I booted my system (boot disk, after updating the nVidia drivers and the BIOS).
Is platinum blonde hair attractive...on young women? :?
I'm confused, rillion.
is the difference you're alluding to in the way the hair is styled?
one looks simple and chic. the other just looks like its been preened, krimped, pulled and teased a tad too much.
Boyfriend seems like a decent chap.
I'm going Platinum this weekend, and some people have been saying I'm going to look weird because my skin is really pale.
This is what it looks like now:
(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v92/kgeymont/SNV35150-1.jpg)
It still has a yellow-y tinge. I want it to be all white (on top) I’m keeping the bottom brown.
Boyfriend seems like a decent chap.
He is. Eminently.
Although today he received in the mail a copy of a book called "Getting the Love You Want." I gave him an incredulous look, until he explained that while drunk one night he had bitched in an email to a friend that I don't wash dishes enough. This friend, a native Californian, then sent him this book in the mail. Boyfriend says he will never, ever read it, and feels kind of bad that his friend spent the money on it. Apparently the friend is in therapy with his girlfriend of a year and a half-- no kids-- and thinks everybody else needs therapy too.
My response: "I bet the only valuable advice in that book amounts to saying what you want." I'm sure not going to read the thing to find out, though.

Should I shave my head?

Depends on what your head looks like. If it's bumpy, pointy, or has a skin disease, don't.
Also, I would recommend going fuzzy instead of shiny bald unless you have the muscles to pull off the Mr. Clean look.
If you shave your head, people might think you're an asshole dickface scum-sucking douchebag off-duty cop.
Oh...and my hair is platinum. Fuck the naysayers....

I know redistribution of wealth is frowned on by a Libertarian. I heard Ian say FSP had 655 members, so it may be awhile til New Hampshire is set free. Meanwhile in the U.S.A. Bruce Williams overnight suggested any stimulus payments to the American people should be made in the form of a prepaid debit card w/ 6-mo. expiration. He believes this would be the fastest way to get commerce moving. Done in this way people could not save the cash or pay down existing debt. thoughts?
Last night I had a very bad dream.....so bad I woke up crying. It was worse than any horror movie I've ever seen.
Is there really any connection between what you eat/drink during the day and the dreams you'll have that night, or is that just an old wife's tale?

Luxor totally redid the arcade/non-gambling section. I think it was to fit that whole Titanic exhibit in there. When I walked by the arcade it looked like all new machines, but I'm heading back in December so I'll look for it.

Question: My new business is nearly complete. Should I reveal the name of the business/its web site to ya'all?

Cons: My online username (anarchir) and all it is connected to will get attached to my business and thus my RL full actual name and information.
If I were answering this question towards someone else I would say "yes." I think that's due to my own curiosity though.

Dogs need friends too.
My first dog was being mopey a couple years ago so I adopted a brother for him. Now they're as happy as can be. Dogs are pack animals so if most of the pack is gone all day (work, school, etc) I think they get bored. Just having another dog around seems to perk them up.
...it appears he's picked me as his person.
I've got to say, it is really creepy knowing people from high school, etc. who are now having children.
if a tree falls in the forest and no one is around to hear it....can you still make furniture out of it?
This may seem out of place, but you just reminded me of it. I went to the Orange County Fair last week. It was kind of cool. We saw "Al's Brain" and enjoyed it, but one of the best displays was the woodworking area. First, I saw a bunch of well-made stuff that impressed the hell out of me. In a time of mass-produced plastic stuff it was really awesome to see hand-crafted work with careful detail. At the very end of the building there was a group of guys just carving ducks out of wood and spinning wooden bowls, or carving tops on a lathe. Cool stuff. It makes me wish I was better making stuff with my hands.

Is molecular gastronomy bullshit? Is it just cooking with a fancy name or fancier equipment? Or is it something fundamentally different from cooking-- and if so, why?
Anyone know who are the investors of General Fusion?
Real gastronomy is utterly brilliant. Theres plenty of bullshit being passed off as gasto-food at the moment, but cut the wheat from the chaff and you can find some really amazing stuff going on.

Gretchen? Why am I not surprised?
Dude. Those are monitors. You'd need to jack them into a receiver-amp, and run a patch cord from the lappy audio-out and treat it like a stereo component.
She just wants to hear the computer play some tunes and vids on a 17 inch screen. Not that big a deal. You need to be sitting five feet from the screen, or less. Microspeakers and a bass cube works fine for that.
If it was a home stereo set-up with big screen, 5.1 surround, I'd agree with you. Those would probably make decent rears. But that is not a practical application for a laptop.

I'd say that if you're not going to put a lot of time and energy into designing a home theater setup, 5.1 is probably a waste of space and you'd be better off getting a better quality 2.1 system.

Yes, because states won't allow you to hunt with a gun during certain times of the year.
Yeah, hunting with a gun is more humane, but do people not argue that hunting with a bow is more of a sport?
Keep in mind that if you shoot with a bow or gun either way you can kill the animal or merely injure it.
Bow hunting: is there a point, when you could be using a gun?[youtube=425,350]wt9pUraM4u4[/youtube].
It is the worst feeling to have to track an injured animal over long distances. For me it is actually emotionally draining. That is why is it vital to be the best one can be by practicing with what ever you'll be hunting with prior to the actual hunt.

Never tracked an animal, but I can thoroughly agree with that. I just think that, on the whole, "sport" or "art" are not good justifications for torturing an animal that you're hunting. If you have a more effective way of hunting them that is also more humane, it seems like a no-brainer to use it.
I hear what you are saying in regards to humane but on the flip side the animal has a far better chance of never getting killed when a hunter uses a bow. In mind, a bow shows the animal more respect. I don't know it is hard to explain.
If you want to talk about what is humane, factory farming is far worse than bow hunting.

If you want to honorably engage in combat with an animal, then I think you should fight a bear while armed with a dagger. Animals for the most part do not possess projectile weapons, which means that shooting an animal is never the equivalent of besting them in combat, regardless of how inefficiently you do so. The concern is not about animals dying; it's about their suffering-- you don't respect an animal more by making it suffer.

And a dagger vs. a bear is would not be much sport for the bear. How about a dagger, a pack of Jack Russells, some bear mace and heavy blunt long weapon? Now that would be sporting!
When you sight in a bow, you use these little elevation pins on it, and put your target out about 20 to 40 yards. 40 is pushin' it, most hunters will sight for the 20ish yard range. To put it into perspective, the trailer part of a tractor trailer is normally about 55 ft, about 20 yards. You have to be pretty stealthy to be within that range from a deer. A good shot with a bow could hit you in the face at that distance. Thats a pretty good shot, staying well-inside a dinner plate. The hunter will sit still, slowly draw, and fire. They don't sneak up on it. (boar are different, you have to chase them - theres no way you could ever chase down a healthy deer)
While that video might appear shocking, even a hit from a rifle can send many animals running. It is the shock of getting shot. They usually will drop dead within a few feet if it was good clean well placed shot.

Did anybody watch "Out of the Wild: The Alaska Experiment"?
That was an interesting show as hardly any of them had experience hunting, and they were set down in the middle of Alaska with winter coming and had to work their way to civilization. By the end of it, the survivors (people had the option of dropping out if they couldn't take it) were all pretty good shots, but some days they had to settle for a ground squirrel or nothing. Their snares didn't work, but I'm not sure if that was due to not using them correctly or not. They hunted for bears, but the best they ever got were a couple of porcupines....apparently not that sporting, but when you're starving you'll take what you can get. They had a "bear gun" and a .22, but I don't know what the "bear gun" was.
I watched it. Liked it. Came up in a discussion at my folks' over the summer. My mom had watched some and thought it was interesting, but my dad was so annoyed by the whole thing that he actually interrupted my mom to rant about the &*%$!# idiots... Said the most sensible two were the ones who actually knew what they were doing in the woods, and opted out early.

I thought that was pretty cowardly, actually, considering that the others were for the most part listening to what they had to say. "You guys don't know what you're doing, and I'm fed up" is a good cover for "I'm not as good at this as I thought I'd be."
That's what I thought, but my dad said, especially in the case of the older lady, that it was a case of not being responsible for a bunch of yahoos who didn't even have the decency to save her a nibble of the field mice they caught while she was out hunting.
That knowing what to do meant they'd be expected to carry everyone else in the group... and that the remaining members learned faster without the experienced two there, because they had no choice.
I don't know if I agree with him. I understood it, as it made me think about how tough it is to get my kids to do things for themselves while I'm around.
My city council member (that is, the city council member for my district) has resigned. (http://planoblog.dallasnews.com/archives/2009/11/special-election-to-decide-pla.html) That's kind of unfortunate because she was probably the best member of the council....which, yes, is not saying much at all. It basically means that she was the only one to respond to me when I contacted the entire council about an issue of concern, and then later wrote a blog post about it supposedly inviting discussion from the community.
I'm thinking maybe I should run for her spot. There's no way in hell I would win, of course, but it might be fun. I'm thinking something like:
"Hey everybody, I live in Place 3, and you should vote for me. I'm 31, libertarian bordering on anarcho-capitalist, and have a PhD. If elected, I hereby promise to vote for absolutely no tax increase that comes before me, ever. When given the opportunity, I will vote in favor of any measure which reduces....any other measure. You might ask why a person opposed to government would run for office, but I think Plato was onto something when he said that one of the penalties for not participating in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors. If that's not enough to convince you to elect me, then you don't deserve to have me elected."

Today a guy approached me while in line to check out at the supermarket, axes me if I will be paying in cash. I say no. He pauses, then leans in really close and tells me that his car has run out of gas, that he needs some cash and would like to pay for my groceries with his food stamps card if I'll give him the cash. I repeat that I have none and wish him luck. He axes me again, more aggressively, so I say no again, more aggressively. He leaves, approaching none of the billions of others there doing their Thanksgiving shopping.
I did have cash, but I also had my daughter with me. With her there I didn't want to make any sort of deal that would probably lead us to meet the guy out in the parking lot where I hand him money.
Even though it's fraud I suppose, I wouldn't mind swapping cash for groceries- none of my business what the other person needed the cash for. Could be that the card was stolen and he wanted me to swipe it- dunno. I didn't make the deal because he was sketchy and pushy.
Would any of you made a deal like this?

I don't trust people off the street like that, as a general rule. He is up to something sketchy to begin with and you are taking somewhat of a risk by being a part of it. With no real benefit to you, except a warm fuzzy feeling inside that you helped someone out. He could have been a good guy, but it is too bad for him that others have taken advantage of people's general kindheartedness.
It is too bad really. I hope I'm never in that situation.
I bet he was either a cop looking for entrapment or a crackhead looking for his next fix.
He didn't appear poor at all, the opposite actually- matching outfit, snazzy hat.. the whole get up. He didn't look like he was jonesin' either.. beats me.lol @ the snazzy hat. I've always wanted one of those.
Shoulda stabbed him a few times quick in the belly, propped him up against the candy rack, paid for your shit with his card, then put it back in his hand and went on your merry way. He had it comin'.
Me.. I wear one like this, have had the same one since the 90's:
My step son came home with a "man purse". Does this mean he is gay?

It's a mystery to me why men haven't always carried purses.
Real men can fit everything they need in life into 3 pockets.
Contents of my purse: pens (3), small notepad, passport (sometimes), wallet, small bottle of hand sanitizer, packet of tissues, mirror, iPod classic, Advil, Immodium, keys, 40mg propranolol (anti-anxiety medication), voter registration card, compact umbrella, tampons (3), packet of fruit snacks, dental floss, Leatherman micra (http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/keychain-tools/micra.aspx), hair ties, chapstick, magnesium fire-starter, toothbrush, USB drive, coins of various currencies (hmm, should clean the purse out), pretty marble, sturdy plastic bag. On occasion, a small paperback.
Now you try and tell me that any of that is anything other than absolutely necessary!

I question the necessity of the voter registration card. And the chapstick.
It's a mystery to me why men haven't always carried purses.
Real men can fit everything they need in life into 3 pockets.
Bosh.
Contents of my purse:
pens (3), -[ Men remember what needs remembering with no need to write it down for future reference.
small notepad, - Same as above. Women's phones numbers can be written on ones palm. The symbolism is obvious.
passport (sometimes), - Only need that when traveling. Can be carried in hand.
wallet, - - Back or in questionable environments front pockets.
small bottle of hand sanitizer, - Real men have no fear of germs.
packet of tissues, - Snot on the floor in quick focused blow.
mirror, - Bathroom mirrors are enough.
iPod classic, - Attach to belt.
Advil, - Headaches can be endured until gone or near a medicine cabinet.
Immodium, - Not even sure what this is.
keys, - Front pocket or attached to belt via chain.
40mg propranolol (anti-anxiety medication),
voter registration card, - Wallet.
compact umbrella, - It's only water. Real men scoff at umbrellas.
tampons (3), - Never a need to carry.
packet of fruit snacks, - Nearest vending machine.
dental floss, - Good to have near but does not need to be carried until needed.
Leatherman micra (http://www.leatherman.com/multi-tools/keychain-tools/micra.aspx), - Again, not even sure what this is so is not needed.
hair ties, - The Roman centurion is popular these days so need for these.
chapstick, - Can be obtained via transference kissing cheerleader types.
magnesium fire-starter, - Good one. Lighter in the front pocket or breast pocket along with smokes.
toothbrush, - Good to have nearby, only carried on way to restroom.
USB drive, - Front pocket.
coins of various currencies (hmm, should clean the purse out), - Pockets.
pretty marble, - Less attracted to pretty shinny objects so less likely to have need to carry one.
sturdy plastic bag. - In cabinet or drawer.
On occasion, a small paperback. - To busy doing something manly to read.
Now you try and tell me that any of that is anything other than absolutely necessary!
Mostly I am joking about the whole subject. 90% joking / 10% concerned.
While I can see a woman needing these things in your purse, men have been conditioned to move about with less. Might be the reason why men seem better at attapting to and making use of thier enviroment.

Sunglasses are also annoying when you only have pockets to use. The only thing to do is to put them up on your head when not in use. I refuse to clip them to my shirt.

Interesting. Wikipedia says they started franchising them, so I guess that explains it. I have never been to any of the non-original ones, so I don't know how different they are.
Oh of course, vastly different at each one. Everyone knows when you buy a franchise, you just buy the name and start serving whatever the fuck you want. The one here is built like a native american sweat lodge, and all they sell is ham salad on a cracker. I don't think its gonna last.
And they had ice in the urinals!
What's a good Christmas gift for an anarcho-capitalist male?
If he's into guns and you have a few normal ones like most people do, shotgun, deer rifle, and a pistol or two..
Get him a tactical urban weapon, like a mini-14 with the plastic stocks and all that. The regs would probably know better prices $600 is about right, I believe. I'm not a gun nut, but if my chick got me that, hooboy. I'd be blown away. That may be more than you might want to part with, but its not really insane. Its just kinda, not cheap. First year in the new house if I recall, its been a big year. Something like that may be in order, if you'll excuse my sayin' so. Besides, its just completely badass, and flies in the face of religious holiday conformity.
This one is brand new, ships from a dealer with good feedback. You'd have to get it shipped to a licensed firearm guy on your end, show ID and fill out a paper.

Understood.
I'll be honest, I draw a blank when I think for myself. I don't really want anything in the normal realm of "stuff". However, we don't look at tools like chicks do. We actually like them. Get a chick a vacuum and you're a fuckinasshole, get a guy a cordless Makita drill, genuine happy. But these are the things we each need to do our self-appointed home tasks.
Hows he in the rechargeable drill department? Someone got me one two years ago, and it had a layout of about fifty bits included, all sorts of wizardry tips. Great gift.

I've always had good luck with 'em if you get 18v and don't buy junk like B+D. My last Craftsman lasted me ten years, and the new one (also Craftsman) is sick for the money. I avoid brand names that are supposed to be good in the middle of their product-line, like affordable priced DeWalt and Makita. Those make good contractor grade, but their weekend warrior stuff is meh.
Also, don't leave the batts on charge, it fucks 'em up.

That's a good suggestion, but I should've mentioned that I do not have much money right now. I was thinking of something under $100 or so. He's definitely into guns though, so I'll have to file that away for his birthday next year.

@ all
Yep. 18v min. Ryobi is nice, with the caveat of buying up the line. I always go for the big bulky fuckers. Bigger motor in there. The bigger the better.
B+D is shit. I think I have a hate thread floating around here. They're on it.
My corded is a 1/2 inch chuck. Handle on the side. Not for pussies. Not the kind of thing where you can squeeze the chuck and spin the bit shut. It'll rip your whole fuckin arm off like a rag.

That is why I'm in the market for corded drill. You get all the power without the awkward weight distribution in the big bulky fuckers and you don't have to deal with changing out the battery. Just keep plugging along. Besides, my property is small enough that I can run a cord from an outlet to anywhere I would need it.

I've always had good luck with 'em if you get 18v and don't buy junk like B+D. My last Craftsman lasted me ten years, and the new one (also Craftsman) is sick for the money. I avoid brand names that are supposed to be good in the middle of their product-line, like affordable priced DeWalt and Makita. Those make good contractor grade, but their weekend warrior stuff is meh.
Also, don't leave the batts on charge, it fucks 'em up.
Had a B+D years ago, that couldn't handle anything at all. Total waste of money, as far as I'm concerned. (Plus all the time and frustration over the two years before going out to buy something with actual power.) Will not purchase anything less than 18v again. I think ours is going on 7 years or so now. Ryobi, 18v. Quite happy with it, and with the other 18v products we bought from them. Having only one charger for the 2 batteries which swap between 4 things is convenient. Need to pick up a couple of new batteries, as the two we have aren't holding a charge so well these days.
Craftsman is my choice because of the cost versus quality, not quality alone.
A comparatively priced "better name" usually isn't better in the low-end price products. Meaning, you probably couldn't get a better cordless than Craftsman for the $70 they charge for 'em. If you use it once a month to put together a swingset, or fasten a porch rail, it'll last you a long time.
I have a 20 year old Craftsman circular saw, its rusty on the metal parts, cuts crooked, the blade wobbles, and will probably catch fire. It was like $39 in 1990. I've left it in the rain, under tarps, in the mud, and thrown it off decks. If you have a $39 DeWalt that will handle that, I'll buy it right now.
Homeowners who pay $270 for a Bosch to do that stuff are snoots. If I was running them 50 hours a week, I'd buy the better names. They're probably more comfortable ergonomically, the little adjustments probably more accurate after much abuse, and the motors provide better torque after long periods of service where cheaper stuff gets tired.
I'd do the same with hand tools. If I wanted a set of wrenches and sockets, I'd go with Craftsman. If I owned a car shop, I'd have Snap-On or whoever makes good shit.

<120=noticeably slower than me through casual observation. What'dya think Rillion? Have I made a mistake assuming you and most here aren't slower than me in a blatantly obvious way?
My apologies if I over estimated you but since you decided to mock me while I'm having my coffee I'll tell you straight that while emotionally you seem healthier than some here so your brain functions relatively clearly I don't think it does so at great capacity. You're a 120. It's probably served you much better than being 132 with a background of jewish extremism.
Jesus fucking christ. You are a stupid cunt. Go home.
It's true about me being angry on occassion.
as far as your reference to 'genius' being toward blackie... bullshit. It directly follows a quote from my post. Are you calling me stupid now?
I decided long ago you don't hold truth and honesty in anywhere near the regard I do
Of course it was an assholish thing to say
you jumped in the thread and insunuated I am a liar and an asshole
You're a 120, that's a fact
I think it was very brave of Diogenes to ask what he did. I'm interested in other responses. I would never ask that question.
Are college students really higher than average?
If I were going to pick particularly smart people by education level I'd say PhDs and HS dropouts.
I estimated that they are based on sheer literacy and test-taking ability. You can't get into most colleges without those, and yet a good proportion of the country doesn't have them.
you jumped in the thread and insunuated I am a liar and an asshole....
Because I was incredulous about calling an IQ of 132 "slightly above average"? I repeat: batshit.

NO IT WASN'T you called me a liar and an asshole because you thought I was calling myself a 132, you said that yourself in a previous post and now you're changing your story and I have no idea why. about calling 132 slightly above average "for the neighborhood" you just called me wrong. You really DON'T give a damn about communicating accurately even when it's the topic of conversation.
Ecolitan, I don't especially care. That post was fun to write
Really Celestrian.... why? Maybe you haven't been paying attention.
Why would anyone give a damn what she has to say when she herself doesn't care if it's truthful.
She gets a lot mileage 'round here for being female. Is that what it is Celestrian?

This forum has been impoverished by your absence.
See, the "genius" thing was a reference to blackie's statement.
No, dumbshit. I was explaining that I had attributed blackie's statement (erroneously) to you, since it quoted and elaborated on what you'd said before.
She didn't know what I was talking about with the 132 in the first place as if I just up and said "132, average for the neighborhood" entirely in a vaccum then she responded to Blackies comment as if I had said it, then she said she was responding to Blackie and then later admitted she had thought the comment had come from me. Clearly she made no effort at all to follow the conversation so I can only assume she was there to pick a fight w/ me. She does that every 6 months or so.
here's your proof not that she deliberately lied but that she makes no sense and isn't worth listening to.
She went on too long about the genius thing so I called her deliberately deceitful. She defended with.See, the "genius" thing was a reference to blackie's statement.
feeling good about having won that part and it being over with she later forgot and said this:QuoteNo, dumbshit. I was explaining that I had attributed blackie's statement (erroneously) to you, since it quoted and elaborated on what you'd said before.
Which is it? Really.. you were explaining that? When? You claimed to refer to blackie's statement and you did... erroneously attributing it to me. The next time you mention it you call me a dumbshit and tell me how your were explaining your error. Oh yeah... where? Fucking bitch. If you don't care to accurately communicate I don't care to talk to you.
Wow that was a lot of words. I'm glad to have you back even if I'm yet to read one of your posts since returning cuz they are all far too long for me.
And I didn't mean to insinuate anything about your level of chastisement.
I wasn't even really talking to you even though I used your handle.
And no. I meant true things. Doesn't care if they say true things, Doesn't care if they say untrue things. Means the same thing. How about, doesn't care about the truth of what they say, the truth of what they say in unimportant to them etc. I mean really, you needed to include that little nitpick.
Peace keeping efforts... I appreciate it but I disliked her long before she claimed in one post that her remark was in response to Blackie and later confessed to having falsely attributed Blackie's comment to me when making that same remark and then pretended as if the words she says can be at all relied upon.
That's a great idea about making it protracted, maybe I'll stalk her posts for awhile and point out how she's full of shit. She probably usually is, I don't much read them in general.
I'm awfully bored here these days and I do think she's a callous holier than thou cunt with far more moral flexibility than qualifies one as an honest person.
I'm pretty sure she already knew that.
If you're REALLY bored you can find every time over the years someone has suggested that I'm being deliberately untruthful and see that it pisses me off a LOT. It's quite an explicit request to meet angry Royce.
I might have asked this before. If so, I must not have gotten an answer.
Is it bigoted to only accept medical services from people that can clearly speak English if you live in the U.S.?
My thinking is that my health is far to important to trust that the dude from India was able to to get through medical school with only a basic grasp of English with out some how gaming the system. Or maybe he was trained in some far inferior country.

Medical schools in India are not bad at all. I have been considering going to one eventually. And yes, they are typically taught in English from what I understand. I just really am not interested in living in India.

Memo to Ecolitan, since he didn't get it the first time: I am not taking you seriously. I am laughing at you, because you took a misunderstanding about IQ and turned it into a burning tower of rage and then accused me of trying to pick a fight, and that's hilarious to me. Probably not good for your health, though, so you might want to smoke a joint or something.
the burning tower of rage is long overdue and was brought on by you calling me a liar...

Thanks for the thoughts. I'll need to figure out the pricing after I've tried making a couple. The last 3 animals I made went pretty quickly, during the LOTR New Year's Eve/Day marathon. I think the creepy cute creations might be a little smaller, so would go at least as fast, even with the greater detail. I'll take better photos before setting up shop, but I'm currently keeping track of which patterns/items work out pretty well on Flickr:

Does anybody have any tips for fighting utility bills that are too high?
I live in a one bedroom apartment and got an electric bill for $230 for the past month.
The only things that use any significant electricity are my laptop, a lamp, a few small ceiling lights, the microwave and the fridge. Thats it. My heating is through gas.
My parents have a monstrous 2 story house with many electronics plugged in/running at any given time. Multiple computers, 2 tv's, a well that takes in water based on electricity, 4 or more different people turning on lights, etc etc...and their bill was 110 for the same time period with the same company. WTF
I dont recall what the "units" were but basically the statement said that last years usage was 20 for the past tenant during this time frame. Mine was 2000. My bill has been rising exponentially since Aug. when I moved in.
First call to them resulted in them denying any wrong-doing, tomorrow morning I am going to their physical location and demanding answers. If they do not compensate me I will refuse to pay it.
Air conditioners are usually the guilty culprits, if it jacked up rapidly in the fall and you're new there even a small AC unit can suck down the wattage.Its the middle of winter here (WI) so no AC units have been used since Aug. And even then my bill was less than 50 bucks.
Sometimes there is a baseboard heater in a bathroom that is turned to "low" and its just running forever and you don't know about it.We dont have anything like that. Literally there is nothing else that can be plugged in in the place. Maybe a phone charger, a printer, and occasionally my gal's hair straightener.
If you're living in an apartment, make sure where your meter location goes straight to your breaker box, and all the switches control shit inside your pad. Sometimes in old houses theres a rogue switch that goes to a porch light or something weird, like an outside porch plug, and if the neighbors know about it, they may run a cord off it to power a heater. You must be aware of where all wires go, and what they power.I may have to go scouting around outside then. Maybe the plugs the landlord (I live in the upper half of a house, shes downstairs) uses to power Christmas lights are wired to my meter?
So you'll need to turn all your lights on, plug stuff into all your outlets, the go to the breaker box and shut everything off. Then, 1 by 1, come back and turn each switch on, and check what it powers. Its really the only way to get familiar with the routing of the wiring. If you have extra switches in the box that don't seem to power anything in your pad, leave them turned off.I dont think I have access to a breaker. I think it is in the landlords basement, and when I have called her about the ridiculously high bills (other bills are unreasonably high too, but thats a different story) she says she wont do anything, I just have to talk to the utility companies.
If the water heater is electric, check the dial and turn it down to as low as you can comfortably tolerate the warm water.I have about 5 minutes of warm water before it is completely gone when I take a shower. I've timed it at about 6 if I keep it lukewarm and turn the water on when I'm standing directly under the spout. I havent seen the water heater, but if a smaller version for homes exists I'd be very surprised.
Put a thermometer in your fridge for a few days and keep turning the cold setting down until the fridge reads 36 degrees.I'm not sure how that helps? Turn the temp down?
They may say its confidential information, ask for a manager. Tell the manager you have no interest in anyones personal information, but would like him/her to compare your account to others in the building. They should be similar.When I talked to them on the phone they said multiple things which necessitate me storming their physical turf. First off, they refuse to give me a past history of any data beyond the small amount that gave me the 20 vs 2000. They claimed it was "illegal" for them to do so. Second, I wanted to speak to a manager, but they would not let me. >:( Finally, they said that the meter was actually recently replaced. This was something I had noticed on my own because the first electric bill I received was reasonable, all the rest just got outrageous as they grew and grew and grew. The first bill I noticed said meter #XXXXXXX but all the rest after that said #YYYYYYYY. I pointed this out to them thinking perhaps they were reading someone elses house or something but nope, they claimed the whole town got new meters at that time.
If they insist the 2000 kw/h is correct and everyone else is using about 20/30ish, tell them you want the meter socket replaced.
My last electric bills were in the $60-70/mo range and I ran central air all summer long at 73*, and everything was electric. I have no idea how many kw/h I was using, but it sure as fuck wasn't 2000, it was more like 100ish.I kept the AC off and stripped clothing off when it was hot, I almost always have the heat at 55 F unless my gal is around for a few days during which I temporarily crank it up to 65. I dont have anything really in my apartment that does anything and I dont even do many dishes or cooking since I work as a cook and eat the majority of my meals at work.

I'm I being picked on by my boss?
Set up scenario.
I had a picture of von Mises for my desktop wallpaper. The boss did not like it because he associated Mises' mustache with Hitler. I replaced it with a wallpaper of a close up of a common house fly. I thought it looked interesting since how often does one see a house fly that close up. It was neat. The boss must have come in after hours and removed it. I can sort of see the Mises one, but it boggles me that he was offended by a house fly.
Note: I will honor his wishes as he is the boss and it is a company computer. I just thought this was strange. Also, I thought a Mises picture would be ambiguous enough as to not offend anyone. I was right at least in the political encomic way.
It sounds like you are being picked on. Once your desktop got onto his "radar" he has come to pay way too much attention to it. It is now like a gnat bugging him. If I were you, I would go completely in the other direction now to disarm him. Put up one of the following:
1) a blank wallpaper
2) your company logo
3) something that represents something to do with your company's industry

It defaulted to the theme color I had it on so it is basically blank. So far he has not done anything to the forest scene I have on my main/desk PC. Very odd.
The version of I.E. is determined by our Information Services department so the boss was not being a douche there. I could go get firefox but I've made it a point not to mess with the setup Info Service has configured. It is tempting but I wont.
I once had flowmasters on a chevy truck. It was loud. I hated driving through residential areas at night. I never would have bought them myself but they came with the truck. Over a couple of years I set off 3 alarms total and none at idle. It was not quiet with good sound. It was loud and obnoxious and rude. If you're setting off his over-sensitive alarm you're waking up at least part of the complex anyway.The Flowmaster 40 series I had on my last Suburban was super loud and obnoxious. The 50 series SUV is much quieter believe me. I couldn't deal with another 40 series, but the 50 series isn't very loud, especially when the truck is just idling.

I really, really hate confronting people. And I read Passive Aggressive Notes (http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com/) a lot (it's hilarious, by the way, you should check it out). So I don't think that leaving a note is always passive aggressive, but sometimes have a hard time telling when it is and when it isn't. It's certainly better than screaming at someone, but it's not likely to make you their best friend either.
... I'm a note-leaver by nature, and I know that's a passive aggressive thing to do, but in this case there really wasn't any choice--...
Really? I don't think note-leaving is passive aggressive. Notes are practical tools that serve a useful purpose. It is not like you were using it to be malicious, manipulative, or secretive. I'm glad it got you a result.

I've never had a poached egg, and I'm glad.
I cant stand egg (like eating melted rubber YUCK) but I need to make them at my job.
What is your method for boiling an egg (or more than one)?
I've heard many ways, and many of the recommended "work every time" ones suck.
I've never had a poached egg, and I'm glad.
I never thought I could deal with the runny yolk thing....ate exclusively scrambled or hard boiled eggs until I was 25 or so. Then one morning a friend made me an egg over easy on a toasted English muffin with bacon and cheese.....holy bejeezus. Mouth orgasm. Changed my whole perspective. A poached egg can achieve the same effect, and if done correctly can be the easier, cleaner, and (most importantly) tastier option.
I've never heard of wrapping the egg in plastic wrap, and I'd be slightly worried about it melting, particularly if the plastic hits the side or bottom of the pot for any length of time. I usually try to keep the water just above simmering heat, add a bit of vinegar, and break the egg very gently into the water. It works decently when done properly, but it's never perfect. I'm intrigued by the plastic wrap thing. Maybe I'll try it :)
Not a question, but an answer...and a very thorough one: How to poach an egg (http://www.b3ta.com/features/howtopoachanegg/). It covers several different methods, but I've done the recommended one a few times and can definitely vouch for it.
I asked the maid how she does it, she said "Twan toshade, kom fup twok nom nom hashakazumi, kipkip wan urrrrshwa kuzuku, Brasky-san."
Whatever that means.

Why do some guys flush the urinal before they start to pee? Is it to deflect back-spatter? Does hearing water run help them to go? Do they just prefer the fresh water?
Also, I always hear that thing about running water making people want to pee. What the hell is that all about?

It snowed in Texas?
The suckery exists here in upstate NY too.
Yeah, I had a call with someone in the Dallas area today and she was talking about how everyone was so amazed that there was enough snow to make a snowman the size of a person.
Good idea or bad idea: living in a trailer and moving around the country to evade the Feds when they come after me for student loan nonrepayment? (Long story there.)

Depends if the cost of the trailer and the seasonal lot rentals are more expensive than the loan. Lot rental will cost about $3,000 per year. Trailer is however much you pay for it. Then you need a truck to tow it, and keep it legal. When you're gypsy, you may not make enough income to support the costs of living.

Probably not even going to have a trailer at this point, just a largish van with some stuff to keep me in electricity.
I know some people whose houses or at least driveways I could stay at, but they're all a fuck of a long way away from where I am. I may as well just take the van and squat in a national forest or wilderness land.
Always aiming high, that's me.

For the same reason Libman wants to live in a trailer. I want to be as far away from what the government can do to me as possible.
If I'm asked to move along in a park or wilderness land, I can just move along. If I have a house, then they can find me. I'm paranoid like that.
If a Paralympian is as good or better at an Olympic sport than an Olympian, are they allowed to compete in the Olympics or required to participate in the Paralympics only?
It's a good question. I'm not sure, but I think they're only allowed the Paralymics. I remember there being a big controversy about an amputee running... something about the prosthetics giving him an advantage over runners on their own feet. Less impact & more push off.

That sounds like a horrible way to live to me. I would rather declare bankruptcy and attempt to get the loans discharged than live as a gypsy fugitive.

Nope, can't do that with bankruptcy.
gets deep panic attacks whenever I go out beyond a block or so from my house by myself.
Get a loan to payoff the 11k, then go bankrupt.
Seems a little bit silly to go on the run over 11k.

I've heard of people putting their dogs on a raw meat diet. I was thinking doing so myself. Question is; wouldn't raw meat greatly increase the odds of them getting worms?
I've heard of people putting their dogs on a raw meat diet. I was thinking doing so myself. Question is; wouldn't raw meat greatly increase the odds of them getting worms?
Nah, they're built for it. Their digestive systems are pretty tough, they can eat spoiled stuff that would make us extremely sick because they have a comparatively high acid content. That would kill the majority of parasites. Dogs do get worms but usually from exposure to other animals feces who are infected.
I had a special breed of cat that we were supposed to feed raw chicken twice a week, vet recommended. It kept the urge to kill at bay, he'd tear through the window screens to get outside.

Hah! I'm reading a book all about human evolution & cooking of food. (Catching Fire: How Cooking Made Us Human) The last few chapters included talk about how a Biologically Appropriate Raw Food (yes, BARF) Diet is a very good option for helping household pets shed extra weight. (I've heard about switching dogs/cats over to raw food for dealing with health issues before, but not with the official name.)
You should ease them into it, just like you would do with switching between foods. (old to new - 3:1, 2:2, 1:3) Cooked/processed foods are much easier to digest, and they won't be able to pull as many nutrients as quickly as from the food, so it's going to be a bit of a shock to the system.

Barf, thats pretty good.
Ya, in fact I don't think I'd go with a total raw meat diet at all. As a supplement, yes, but you probably wouldn't want to go more than 50/50 just because keeping a supply of raw meat is not easy and you want to default into some friggin kibble when you don't feel like screwing around with raw meat.
My kids have an older kittay and she pukes when you switch her food. Its just a regular brand like 9Lives or something, but she's used to it.

From what I've been reading going cold turkey is the way to go, lots of raw meat with a carrot of some sort of raw vegetable thrown in everyday. The reason being you don't want to confuse their digestion system. That can get hard to clean up in the back yard.
Many people that have switched also suggest adding a little fish oil every now and then to get a nice coat. Every time my dogs get any sort of fish the end result was impossibly messy. I'm a little leery of adding this.
If the consistency of the dog waste becomes problematic, it can be adjusted with training methods. You administer six to eight rapid kicks to the ribs when the dog is making a bowel movement, this will teach the dog to hold the shit longer and the bowel will absorb the excess moisture. You can usually expect positive results within a month.
Desert tortoise... YUM.You should put your dog on a diet of stray cats.
Unfortunately there are many Asian restaurants in Vegas. No stray cats to be found. Not a bad idea otherwise. A meal would only cost the price of a .22 round. Wonder if they would like desert tortoise.
And is this just a girl thing, or do guys' pants come with them too?
I bought two pairs of shorts yesterday. Both of them came with a belt. Why? Does anybody actually wear the belt that comes with the shorts or pants they bought?
And is this just a girl thing, or do guys' pants come with them too?
You know, I never do. At first, my answer would have been "sure", and then I realized the only things I wear with original belt or sash are dresses and a couple of skirts. My regular belts for slacks/jeans/shorts were separate purchases.

If they were nice belts, I'd consider it. But belts that come with pants seem to be uniformly some kind of pleather nonsense, and in this case they're freakin' gold. A gold pleather belt on a perfectly good pair of Levi's shorts. Ridiculous. I'm offended.
Why is Firefly so ridiculously overhyped? I mean, it's not a bad series . . . it's just not as good as the Internet's legions of fanboys make it out to be.

When it was originally on Fox, it was the best option out there. There was no Battlestar Galactica, no Lost, Dollhouse, Pushing Daisies, Fringe, Caprica, Heroes, etc... It might not be as much of a standout when put in the context of the programming on television now. More & more "quirky" series are being given a shot - if not on standard primetime, then on cable.
That being said, I still think it was/is a great series, and wish Fox had given it a bit more time.

You remind me of one day when I was flipping through the TV channels with my 15-year-old nephew. I came across the old Batman tv series and showed him. His response was "how could anyone watch this garbage?"
I had to point out that back then we had 3 TV channels and your alternatives were a game show and the news (or something like that).
You should in know way take this as a connotation that Firefly is equivalent to Batman.

I think Firefly was great. That's it. I don't have an a life-size cardboard cutout of the characters or walk around with a jacket like Mal's. I mean, opinions aren't cumulative. Even if everyone rates it a 9 or 10, you don't say the show rates a 100 million, you just say that the average rating is 9 or 10.When it was originally on Fox, it was the best option out there.

Full House makes more sense when you're high.
One time I was high and I watched it and I figured out that Becky and Vicky were beards for the gay threesome of Danny, Joey, and Jessie; DJ and Kimmy were secret lesbians; and Michelle was a demon summoned by Steve Urkel.
