> my thought is "#### you, bitch, I'm just being nice. That right there is a warning 'this dude is an asshole and easily offended'. Any time 'eff you bitch' is your goto response (internally or out loud) you are not being nice for niceness sake you are being an …

There are more separate, living creatures in your body the you have cells in your body - by count.

I can't help myself - there is just so much bogosity in this thread and someone needs to clear up a few things. HIV/AIDS - this is not a 'gay' disease, was not started in the gay community, is not god's punishment for anything. Of the worlds populations that have …

It has long been known that the Earth's magnetic poles shift and sometimes reverse (as metal bearing magma exudes from plate fractures and cools, the iron is magnetized by the magnetic forces; when the poles shift or reverse, it can be detected.) Prior to a pole shift the strength of …

Well, I actually like [Boole's](http://www.amazon.com/Investigation-Laws-Thought-George-Boole/dp/1603861254) original treatise Titled: An Investigation Of The Laws Of Thought On Which Are Founded The Mathematical Theories Of Logic And Probabilities. It was one of those 'lost' works that was considered interesting but of no practical use until someone working on the first computers brought …

Today is the 150th birthday of the London Underground (the Raw Meat reference is to an early horror movie that takes place in the Underground). The people who took that first ride on this day were the big wigs; tomorrow celebrates the 30,000 brave souls who rode the Underground when …

Choosing the best is pretty much the one I am playing now. But there are some that I can go back and play again and again like the Deus Ex series and Prey - I like prey because of the crazy point of view shifts like paths that allow you …

My bucket list contains only one item - live for 250 years.

There are certain word pairs that have very specific rules for their usage and my nerves rage when they are misused: farther/futher fewer/less There are others but these seem to show up more often.

Oh, man I want that! I just need a couple reconfigurations - I can make a deal with the older couple who live below me no problem but it will need to be unhinged so it would unfold in a wrap-around mode but yeah, I want one.

I generally put on some old school German industrial - Kraftwerk, Rammstein, einstürzende neubauten - I am accepting nominations for more.

blog.Gawker.com is down - I kid, I live in Seattle so I am pretty far away from the disaster. I hope everyone stays well.

Well, this is probably not what you are looking for but it is fun - it is a science fiction turn based game - one character can be played for free: [URL="http://www.madcentral.com/destiny/"]Destiny2[/URL]..

Maybe, just maybe, some of you should do just a little research rather than pull ideas out of your nether region. Here is an [abstract](http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC80880/) that is readable for people who have a 2-year degree or above. Addiction is a complex interaction of neurotransmitters built on biological circuits designed to …

I was just on the bus, minding my own business when I heard a magical phrase "he knew 2 dozen languages and numerous dialects"; I just had to speak up because there is only one person in history who could fit that phrase: My hero, [B][U][URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_Francis_Burton"]Captain Sir Richard Francis Burton[/URL][/U][/B]. …

I think I screwed up the installation of my NetGear WG602v2 wireless access point. I followed the installation guide (configured my pc with the ip address of the WG602, connected the wg602 to the ethernet port, connected to the wg602 and logged in) up to the step "click the IP …

Far Cry - the original (I did not really like Far Cry 2 because it seemed to be very repetitive). What I liked about Far Cry was that if there was a sniper somewhere, there was a way to get to him. Since Far Cry takes place on a series …

I am in the living room, browsing here, listening to "Make Them Laugh" on the t and v.

I worked for an on-line, after-market auto supply store - what we sold was mostly add-on glitz like head units, speakers, lights and so on. This is an extremely high fraud market place so we had verify every card and over a certain amount, we had to call and speak …

I am an athiest (this should come as no surprise to anyone who has been here for awhile). As far as I can tell, Spinoza's god was nature; that god can't be something outside of nature. Attributing anything that we recognize is just anthropomorphism; Spinoza dismisses the world view of …

Hey, when Gingrich becomes president, he will [URL="http://thinkprogress.org/politics/2011/11/21/373813/gingrich-teach-course/"]teach[/URL] free courses just like University of Phoenix or Kaplan. But he promises it will be free just like the afor-mentioned colleges (which are definitely for profit

Audacity will do what you want and it is free - you will need a line out from your player to the line in on your computer. Without line out/in you can use earphone out and microphone in but watch your levels.

Well, things were going terribly for the last month of 2010 - workplace horrors, then I was transferred to a different team and life is full and wonderful again. I like my boss (she was my manager a couple years ago); I like my team - heck, even the other …

Happy New Year to you all! AD - while you are down there you might as well check out the Barrier Reef.

I agree! He was an interesting voice; I did not agree with everything he said, but I seldom disagreed with him.

Before Eve there was Lilith - she has roots in Gilgamesh and other (really, really) early stories; she appears in Jewish lore under various guises and, is either a demon, the mother of demons, or Adam's first wife who left him because she refused to be subservient to him. Androgyny …

Congratulations! I just got word that I might be recalled from furlough next week - if it happens we should have a celebratory beer together in different bars.

Can't be - you just had one last year Have a happy anyway

The Republicans are already planning on passing a legislation canceling the 'triggers' are supposed to kick across the board cuts. In fact the Republican half of the super-committee is saying that POTUS needs to get involved - I assume this is so that after nothing comes from the debt committee, …

We alternate homes with some friends; one year out at their farmette and next here with us. Sometimes, if we can roll out the door, we head over to the big bash on Beacon Hill. I do not have to drive (I'm home, duh) so I do not have to …

The reason I ask is that the Cavendish banana is doomed.

It has charm, thrills, and won't cause insulin spikes.

I think you need to create a video about how to watch videos - har,har. Actually, youtube comments are just plain nasty - there is nothing to be learned from the comments. The only places where the comments are nastier are on ace of spades or freeper. There is even …

[QUOTE]NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Handguns will soon be allowed in bars and restaurants in Tennessee under a new law passed by state legislators who voted to override the governor's veto.

Anyone here play E.Y.E? It is a really bizarre shooter that does not let you know what it real and/or a dream. Outcomes change - sometimes, someone 'mysterious'ly appears to tell you something about it maybe a dream.

Craig opened his show tonight with him being interviewed(??) by a zombie but was interrupted by bunny singing "There is a light over at the Frankenstein place" then zombies climbed out from behind the furniture for the chorus. Geof somehow made it to the middle of the stage for a …

How about this: I struggled for a couple hours trying to twist a gear off of its axle - the axle was 3 inches diameter and the gear was approximately 24 inches in diameter. I sprayed it with wd40, pried at the gear, whacked the gear all to no avail. …

On an old fashioned phone you can '*69' and ask what the number is (ymmv depending on what your carrier thinks is reasonable service). I believe '*68' blocks the number from being read.
