short, shameful confession: Sometimes I email myself a link so I can check something later. Then in a few minutes, I'm excited because I've got mail. - loosilu Mar 28, 11:43 3
- LOL! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 28, 11:59 2

Crazy video from the Japan tsunami that I hadn't seen before. Excuse the mop if you have. -- (link) - oblique Mar 28, 11:38 [youtube] 18

  - Yeah, he's on a 4-6 storey building and looks like he could touch the water by the end. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 11:57 1
    - Watching the other buildings collapse one by one had to be beyond scary. -- nm - ceregon Mar 28, 11:59
- That's unreal...and by the time it goes to SOIL YOURSELF, you're already committed to staying there. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 11:48
- watching the people on the other building is surreal -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 11:48
- That goes from "not so bad" to "holy shit" in a hurry. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 11:43 2
  - Right around the 2min mark and then when the warehouse pretty much disintegrates. - Mel Profit Mar 28, 11:53 1
    - Right, you don't expect to see one building ram into another one then dissipate. -- nm - David Mar 28, 11:54

  - no, this guy is on the top of a building on a costal town that is completely wiped away. I'm surprised his building didn't go with it -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 11:40 3
    - I had seen the first few seconds of it but not the whole thing. Prior to Japan, I had never understood how a tsunami could be so destructive. - Fuzzy Mar 28, 11:52 1
      - this, exactly. It's why I can't tear myself away from the videos. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 11:53
    - oh wow. don't think I saw that. Have to wait till I get home. -- nm - loosilu Mar 28, 11:41

      - he signed up for it... -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 11:39 1
        
        And since then? -- nm - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 28, 12:04
- No. Therefore the Orioles have not been eliminated yet. -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 11:23 2
  - could be an argument made there. didn't the blue jays get 20 hits yesterday? -- nm - zork Mar 28, 11:24 1
    - Something close to that, but they were playing the O's B team. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 28, 11:33
This is my first corporate job. It's so crazy. I honestly don't understand why people think privatizing things will be more efficient. - Dano Mar 28, 11:20 6
- "Now we had a chance to meet this young man, and boy that's just a straight shooter with upper management written all over him. " -- nm - The Bobs Mar 28, 11:48

      - I have no problem with that strategy whatsoever so long as he wasn't speeding up the process. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 28, 11:26
      - Yeah, I can't help but think judgy thoughts about this guy for profiting off of her death. - con_carne Mar 28, 11:23
      - Maybe they're a fan and it's just too painful to have in the house. -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 11:22 1
        
        or at the moment of her death, it took on an eerie glow. -- nm - Reagen Mar 28, 11:24

I think I will Steam Plants vs Zombies tonight. -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 11:06 4
- I wish these game companies made universal purchases. I already have 2 versions of the game (PC and iOS) and could easily see still buying the DS - oblique Mar 28, 11:07 2
  - that's an instance that I wouldn't feel too bad about torrenting -- nm - zork Mar 28, 11:16
  - I know the DS version is at Walmart here for $19.99 (it is $9.99 on Steam last I looked) -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 11:10
- Sounds delicious. Planning to use any spices? Maybe baste a bit with olive oil and throw it on the grill? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 28, 11:07
Chopped was great last night. Jeffrey Z. came across much more likable than I expected (sorry, JenBro). And I was surprised at the final decision -- nm - prayformojo Mar 28, 11:03 6
- A friend who's an aspiring chef and restaurant owner said (minor spoilers) - zeitgeist Mar 28, 11:42

- Me too. Jeff got robbed. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 28, 11:11
- I wish we could've had 2 rounds of judges instead of that lame Round 1 - Strongbad Mar 28, 11:05 2
  - Agreed - prayformojo Mar 28, 11:10 1
    - I've completely changed my perception of Anne since watching Worst Chef season 2 - Strongbad Mar 28, 11:13

  - (AR?) -- nm - JaxSean Mar 28, 11:19 1
    - Augmented Reality. You point the 3DS at a colored card on a table and a game basically appears on your table. It is really really cool to see -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 11:26
The students. Right, right. -- nm - NCAA Mar 28, 11:01
Our youngest has an eye infection. Woke up this morning and her eyes were pretty much glued shut. Wife - "Oh poor baby you can barely see!" - Beaker Mar 28, 11:01 21
- I told Logan he couldn't have one until he was 5 or 6. So he'll pretend he's playing one. He plays air DS, I am not joking. -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 11:03 15
  - We made reading a requirement to getting one. No way was I going to sit and explain what the game was telling them to do - oblique Mar 28, 11:04 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - I found our old one buried in the trunk of my car. Still worked after rattling around back there for probably a year -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 11:06
  - *nods* ours did this too. She wouldn't have gotten one but her cousins got new ones so gave her one of their old ones. -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 11:04 11
    - His screen time is pretty limited. I can't imagine the fights if he gets one. -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 11:08 10
      - He might surprise us. I am sure he will enjoy it more than Wii, but still. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 11:12 8
        
        Did he obsess over Thomas toys or Cars? The DS is far more addictive to boys his age than the Wii is. -- nm - Inigo Mar 28, 11:14 7
        
        [deleted]
        
        Yes, but he remains pretty calm about the "I want it!!!" stuff. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 11:15 4
        
        Wait, are you the Fringe Spawn? -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 11:19 3
        
        Compared to other kids? I mean, one single "I WANT IT!!" meltdown is *awesome*. -- nm - Spawn Mar 28, 11:27 2
        
        Per day. And the "one more cartoon" tantrum. And the "not done playing" one. And, and, and. -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 11:30 1
        
        Ah. I oft forget that Weekend Bub is not like Weekday Morning Bub. - Spawn Mar 28, 11:32
        
        DON"T SAY THE C WORD! -- nm - Amy Mar 28, 11:15
      - for both of ours it is strictly a weekend thing and then with alot of breaks for play. Almost like quiet time -- nm - Beaker Mar 28, 11:11
- Nintendo DS causes eye infections! -- nm - oblique Mar 28, 11:01 4
  - I kind of amused that I'm not really getting Pokemon. It plays like the oldest of the old school RPG. - Qale Mar 28, 11:05 3
    - I think I'm going to be in the market for a Wii soon. - Strongbad Mar 28, 11:07 2
      - I couldn't do that. I'd have to ROM those. I mean, I owned those titles once, do I really have to buy them again? -- nm - Qale Mar 28, 11:09 1
        
        They're really overpriced compared to apps of similar quality on the IPhone/Android. -- nm - Inigo Mar 28, 11:12
Without you, I can't breathe -- nm - con_carne Mar 28, 11:00 1
