Here's my latest mix set. Sadly while it's quite nicely beat matched and all, two mix choices just aren't very good. - Qale Aug 3, 15:12 2

        You support a big corporation being taxed and you think you're a Republican? -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 15:10 5
        
        Not them. Me, shopping with them. -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 15:11 3
        
        But then every corporation being taxed is really you being taxed, just less directly. -- nm - Ender Aug 3, 15:14 2

        also depends on whether it's a profit or revenue tax. revenue almost certainly would be, profit might be. -- nm - mafic Aug 3, 15:52

  - Some comments - MDH Aug 3, 14:49 5
    - "Don't get released to Top 40..." that's funny cause in the 90s, plenty of alternative rock got played on Top 40 stations. Guess it don't anymore. -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 14:57 4
      - a lot of the alternative stuff in the '90s still had major labels behind it. - mafic Aug 3, 15:48
      - Oh I agree, but for example Foo Fighters have the #1 alternative song in the country, it peaked at #91 on the Hot 100. -- nm - MDH Aug 3, 15:06 2
        
        Doesn't that just mean that the hot 100 is bullshit? -- nm - TFox Aug 3, 15:08 1
        
        It tracks exactly what is "the most popular" iTunes/Amazon sales (the biggest factor), physical sales, total radio spins, "hot 100" station spins etc. - MDH Aug 3, 15:11

- Yeah, that's a huge WTF? -- nm - Stephen Aug 3, 14:38 2
  - It's a syndication thing. SInce they can not sindicate the original due to the videos, they are making sure they can with this one. - Spawn Aug 3, 14:39 1
    - YES!!! [spoil] - Spawn Aug 3, 14:43

st-ers, i'm deleting facebook account, so nothing personal when i delete you as friends. - colin Aug 3, 14:30
I am, however, thinking of making this. Odd to me that you bake the brownies, then put them in the cheesecake and bake again, but ok -- (link) - ty97 Aug 3, 14:28 10
- Seems similar to the baklava cheesecake I have made in the past, which required the baklava topping to be cooked first. - kelly Aug 3, 15:06 1
  - OMG. baklava cheesecake? -- nm - amanda Aug 3, 15:09
- Brownies, unlike most cakes, can take some overbaking. - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:37 4
  - hmm, i find most to get dry pretty easily when you overbake them. but i think you're right about the cheesecake - plus the cheesecake has lots of - kare Aug 3, 14:43 1
    - I mean they have more tolerance for it. Not complete tolerance. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:47
  - sacriledge! gooey brownies are the only way! -- nm - peglegpete Aug 3, 14:42 1
    - I like them anyway I can get them. ;) -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:48
- if you don't, then the brownie mix and the cheesecake mix will just all go together, right? -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 14:32 2
  - Oh yeah, I get pre-baking the brownies. But then they go back in for 55 more minutes? - ty97 Aug 3, 14:43
  - Or the brownies come out mush. -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:35

Wait...Someone's getting exposed to malaria and Loosi has nothing to do with it?! -- nm - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:22
It's like code sometimes. Question: when a baking recipe says 'brown sugar' do they mean light or dark? -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 14:21 18
- Generally, if it really matters it'll be specified. As others have said, it may just be a matter of tast. -- nm - MojaveMeg Aug 3, 14:36
- Depends on your taste. Do you like a more molassey taste, or less? - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:26 1
  - Sweet sassy molassy. -- nm - Dr.Romano Aug 3, 14:28
- i use light, but i think you can get by with whatever. -- nm - Andie Aug 3, 14:25
- it doesn't really matter. i usually go with dark. it has more molasses and thus a little more flavor. -- nm - kare Aug 3, 14:25 8
  - Related: whenever I bake, I always add extra vanilla extract. - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 14:28 7

- I say light. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 3, 14:24
- I don't think it really matters. What are you making? -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 14:23 1
  - It's not for something I'm making, but I was looking recipes and noticing that people don't always specify -- nm - ty97 Aug 3, 14:25
- I assume they mean the chunky dark stuff -- nm - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:23

CY ... sorry about the email thing, but I do recommend using the BCC field next time ... that way you don't expose all of your contacts' emails - Beryllium Aug 3, 14:19 3

super-pretentious conversation I just had involved the phrase "Oh, let me see which of my cell numbers is best for this situation." - Andie Aug 3, 14:17 11
- heh. I actually have a pile of SIM cards for my phone. vancouver, london, perth, and hong kong. - mafic Aug 3, 15:55
- I once walked past a business student and all I heard of the conversation was "...as you know, I'm based out of London..." -- nm - nubby Aug 3, 14:23 4
  - (whatever happened to that guy?) -- nm - con_carne Aug 3, 14:50
  - I was on the Tube one time and watched as a guy said "I have to pick up my other line," and then reach into his suitcase and pull out two other phone - the liioulu with Aug 3, 14:32
  - Does the "..." mean "and then he was punched in the mouth"? -- nm - Roger More Aug 3, 14:24
