so, out of curiosity, i decided to see what's at 'nocomment.com'. turns out it's blocked for me. now i'm all curious. -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 08:44 6
- useless link if you ask me -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:46
- "the domain nocomment.com may be for sale by its owner!" - mafic Sep 6, 08:45 1
  - The owner was contacted for comment, but declined. -- nm - Mop Sep 6, 08:46
- It's just parked. ("Buy this domain.") -- nm - mara Sep 6, 08:45 2
  - i'm actually surprised it isn't *something*. -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 08:46 1
    - Probably a high asking price. -- nm - mara Sep 6, 08:47
Now, see, at least "Batmanning" is a *thing*. It requires some skill and talent. How is planking a thing? -- nm - Mop Sep 6, 08:39 2
- actually i think it requires more talent and skill NOT to do batmanning -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:43
- coning! -- (link) - colin Sep 6, 08:41 [youtube]
My younger cousin successfully covered both... - Mel Profit Sep 6, 08:38 7
- wedding? -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:39 6
  - Yeah. My little sister got married. - Mel Profit Sep 6, 08:40 5
    - how difficult was it to resist kidnapping the future bil? -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:43 1
      - quite the opposite... - Mel Profit Sep 6, 08:44
    - cool! I went to an awesome wedding (good friend) as well. actually it's the co worker you met a few years ago. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:41 2
      - No kidding? That's excellent. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 6, 08:42 1
        
        yeah, it was a blast. Great guy. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:43
Calling Artists: I have friends that do art for me sometimes for free. They have been very nice but I want to have something made and I don't want - JohnnyB Sep 6, 08:34 15
- the canvas itself, $5-10. The paints, depends a lot on what type or grade of paint. could be a couple of bucks to $20. - loosilu Sep 6, 08:39 7
  - Well that is a lot cheaper than I expected. Do you paint? So if I gave them like 200.00 that would cover supplies and - JohnnyB Sep 6, 08:40 6
    - note: It can certainly go higher for the paint. I have a couple of 4 ounce tubes that are $20 each. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:42 3
      - Even if they were using great paint, 200 should cover it all short of anything crazy? -- nm - JohnnyB Sep 6, 08:51 2
        
        yeah, almost certainly. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:56 1
        
        Do you have a link to your work, and do you do comissions? -- nm - JohnnyB Sep 6, 09:00
    - yes, I paint a lot. that would certainly cover the materials and then some. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:41 1
      - Thanks for the information. If I had more I would pay more, they are amazing. Do you have a link to your work? - JohnnyB Sep 6, 08:49
- No comment. -- nm - OAE Sep 6, 08:36 6
  - Yeah, wouldn't want to incriminate ourselves. nm - Jim Sep 6, 08:39 1
    - ha. I was going to note below that "it's a curious thing to go all fifth amendment on" but it sounded weird. - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 6, 08:40
  - well, that's very helpful. -- nm - decline Sep 6, 08:38 3
    - and arbitrary. I mean, why just not say anything? -- nm - amanda "late sleeper" jones Sep 6, 08:39 2
      - Seems like one would have to post "no comment" to *every* post you don't have anything to say about. -- nm - mara Sep 6, 08:42 1
        
        no comment. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:43

- haven't you been taking classes for the last decade? We might have found the issue. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:38 3
  - online, off and on, but not in a classroom. -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 08:39 2
    - I am gonna go out on a limb and suggest that online does not work for you. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:43 1

Can someone recommend an app to track how much data I use a month? -- nm - sycor Sep 6, 08:30 7

  - not on verizon. but was thinking about switching but I need to check to see how much I use. Verizon's new plans really suck though. - sycor Sep 6, 08:33 3
    - I'm grandfathered into their unlimited, but can tell you that I don't think I've ever gone over the 2gb cap they now use - decline Sep 6, 08:46
    - What carrier do you have? There's a good chance your monthly data usage shows up on your bill. -- nm - Ender Sep 6, 08:45 1
      - sprint. everything is included. But yeah I will check there. -- nm - sycor Sep 6, 08:58
- netcounter. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:30 1

  - I have a physical keyboard currently, but I am now ready to exchange for thinner and on-screen keyboard only. -- nm - muzungu psilotum Sep 6, 08:22
- Galaxy II. -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 08:19
From B2 for Stephen.......my wife found a diaper service already....$20/week, no limit on the number of diapers...which in the beginning will be many. - Walt_Disney Sep 6, 08:16 4
- sometimes there are too many options. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:37
- re: your IM, yet they managed, somehow. - znufrii Sep 6, 08:26
- Heh nice -- nm - Stephen Sep 6, 08:25
- I think most new parents are overjoyed by having a new baby and are happy with everything in their life at the time. We didn't think our options were - CrankYanker Sep 6, 08:20
kelly, I guarentee, at some point, no matter how he postures...... - groiny Sep 6, 08:11 25
- so what you're saying is that Will will not be eating brownies during this time period. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 08:27 1
  - you think their poop is brown?????? - groiny Sep 6, 08:27
- Yeah, we shall see. - kelly Sep 6, 08:16 22
  - you get over that shit quickly out of sheer necessity. - Reagen Sep 6, 08:22
  - I think all parents worry that they will mishandle or hurt the baby....I have similar fears but know I have to suck it up :) - Walt_Disney Sep 6, 08:18 13
    - Babies aren't made of glass. In fact, they are about as flexible and quick-healing as they will ever be in their life. -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 08:25 5
      - My biggest fear was accidentally poking my finger thru the soft spot on her head.....even though I have never heard of anyone doing that. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 6, 08:27 4
        
        lol. it's not soft like a strawberry. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:40
        
        jesus, you would have to poke pretty effing hard to do that! nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 08:28 2
        
        "i had a dream i was bowling!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:30 1
        
        what happened to your baby's eyes and head? - groiny Sep 6, 08:31
    - heh, we kept score on who dropped our daughter the most. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 6, 08:22 4
      - what was the prize? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 08:23 3
        
        A case of Butterfingers -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:23 1
        
        It was a running joke..I think each of us 'almost' dropped her once. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 6, 08:25
        
        Loser had to buy the kid a helmet. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 6, 08:23
    - well, Will has a hard time maneuvering his own gigantic melon though doors and shit. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 08:19 1
      - The key is to turn sideways and at a 35-40deg angle...any less and I clip my chin; any more, I clip my eyebrow. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:20
  - C'mon, I said I feel like I'm going to break them -- that will go away quickly. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:18 2
    - I hope so! - kelly Sep 6, 08:19 1
      - I was much more comfortable with that with my son, as opposed to my daughter. - groiny Sep 6, 08:20
  - "cradle the newborn infant as you would a chicken wing...only don't eat it" -- nm - Beaker Sep 6, 08:17 1
    - so kelly should expect will to constantly lick the baby clean then. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 08:18
  - that is what all us dads said before the first one. - groiny Sep 6, 08:17 1
    - *ding* I don't think I've said much out of the abnormal in regards to that. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:19

  - try harder -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:13
  - You need a better imagination :) -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:12
  - drive an Audi. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 08:12 3
    - Eff that, I'd have a Porsche. -- nm - Shaun Sep 6, 08:13 2
      - "a" as in "one"???? - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:13 1
        
        hey, it's a dude trying to live within his means....give him credit! -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 08:16
latest: Honey has to be tested for GMO pollen now and has to be free from it - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:10 17
- it's *pollen*. unless you have a pistil and stamen, you'll be fine. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:19 5
  - pollen is the starting point of honey -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:21 4
    - sure, in that shit is the starting point of mushrooms. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:24 1
      - only for some types -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:25
    - not really, no. - znufrii Sep 6, 08:23 1
      - trie pant produce nectar for fun and pollen for chance! -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:24
- that's insane. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:13 10
  - it's the only way forward -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:14 9
    - the GMO hysteria is ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:15 8
      - actually it has nothing to do with that -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:15 7
        
        that makes no sense. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 08:16 6
        
        I believe GM plants/foods are considered intellectual property by the likes of Monsanto, with all the rights and restrictions that implies -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 08:21 3
        
        yes and if you unwillingly and unknowingly have GMP crops in your area Monsanto will demand you pay them compensation -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:22 2
        
        Which is problematic, since crops are usually outdoors, and pollen and seeds get carried around naturally by nature. -- nm - con_carne Sep 6, 08:46 1
        
        yes but now you can make monsanto pay for damages it's patented gene crops do to other farmers - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:48
        
        ofcourse it does - Danedukenuuk Sep 6, 08:19 1
        
        Your hysterical anti-GMO post doesn't really back up your claim that it has nothing to do with anti-GMO hysteria. -- nm - Ender Sep 6, 08:48
I think I've decided I want a tablet. I don't need one. I just want one. It seem like it would be more convenient checking email on it than getting - sycor Sep 6, 08:10 9

  - is that the one with the optional keyboard case thing? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 08:29 1
    - yup. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 08:31
- how soon do you want it? - tRuMaN Sep 6, 08:11 5
  - yeah, but that is just the 7" with 6gb memory. I'm going to hold out for the 10" next spring -- nm - decline Sep 6, 08:22
  - The new Archos tablets look pretty slick - 250 gb memory! -- nm - colin Sep 6, 08:14 1
    - does the archos have acess to the Android Market? or do you have to use something else to get apps? -- nm - sycor Sep 6, 08:16
  - no big rush. I'll look into the IM. thanks. -- nm - sycor Sep 6, 08:12 1
