- Mop? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:46
An observation about 9/11 ceremonies/rememberances yesterday. I didn't watch much but when I did watch what I saw bothered me a bit. I know in our - bc/nc Sep 12, 09:40 20
- My version: People video recording concerts on their phone held above their head. - ty97 Sep 12, 09:51 3
  - Oh hell yes. I think it should be legal to taste them. - Reagen Sep 12, 09:52 1
    - STPOW. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:55
  - If they get more that X amount of "Likes," it will all have been worth it, I'm sure -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 09:52
- The only thing I watched was the Mets/Cubs game, and ESPN *almost* got it right, but managed to bungle most of the presentation. - musubi Sep 12, 09:50
- [deleted] 12
  - i love how people do this sort of things in museums. the last time i went to the getty, i saw this guy.... - x Sep 12, 09:51 4
    - like he's ever going to watch that again. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:53
    - "If you see something, say something" - ty97 Sep 12, 09:52 1
      - right, that's what seemed odd. if you don't care enough to look at the exhibits in the first place, will you ever watch the video?...nm - x Sep 12, 09:54
    - My dad started showing me photos of art in Rome. I had a hard time explaining to him that I have NO interest in seeing them. - loosilu Sep 12, 09:52
  - I have numerous!! -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:48
  - my pet peeve: photos in museums. It's hard to imagine something more boring that an amateur photo of something in a museum. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:48 5
    - i take pictures of museum stuff a lot so i can remember the works later and look them up....nm - x Sep 12, 09:52 2
      - I take snaps of some paintings to look up later. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:52 1
        
        The one that really makes my head explode is people taking pictures at the National Archives. You can't even read those docs in real life. - loosilu Sep 12, 09:54
    - It all gets to be too much. Observe, take it in, enjoy. -- nm - bc/nc Sep 12, 09:49 1
      - I'm sure many people did. My complaint about this kind of public behavior is that it's inconsiderate to whoever is standing behind you -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 09:51
- not exactly like this but sort of like this was my weekend - Reagen Sep 12, 09:45
- I tuned it and saw most of Paul Simon's song (which was perfect). then I was done and changed the channel. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:41
apparently I look either dangerous or approachable. Airports have started doing hand swabs here now and I got asked to do them on both legs of my trip - Reagen Sep 12, 09:40 34
- you're sure they worked for the airport right? -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 09:45 2
  - Exactly. Oh, they start with your hands but before you know it, they are all up in your junk. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:47 1
    - I think that's how they filmed Bucky Larson -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 09:48
- Okay, I have no idea what this means. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:41 22
  - I *think* he means manually swabbing your carryon for explosives. they do this in some federal buildings. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:45 21
    - I get this *every* time now... - Mel Profit Sep 12, 09:48
    - but on your hands now. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:46 12
      - wow, I never saw that anywhere. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:46 7
        
        Carrie's had that a couple times. but not on the same trip. -- nm - Jim Sep 12, 09:50
        
        I've had that done before, though I don't think recently. - ty97 Sep 12, 09:48 5
        
        I've seen it on briefcases/handbags many times at secure buildings. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:49 4
        
        My bag gets that swab treatment sporadically due to the all the electronics/wires I carry. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:50 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        it should be super tight. I have no problem with that. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:55
        
        at this point I carry in zero electronics unless absolutely required. I don't bring in a phone (they are prohibited where I go). -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:51

        yeah, I couldn't say when this started, although they weren't doing this at the start of August when I flew. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:49 1
        
        it might depend on routes/airlines. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:49
    - Swab with what? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:45 6
      - a scurvy midshipman -- nm - con_carne Sep 12, 09:48
      - I had it done in Colorado Springs...it's some type of swab that detects chemical residues or something. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 12, 09:47
      - I believe it's like a rubbing alcohol soaked cloth, then they put it through a gas chromatograph. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:46
      - a cotton swab. Then it gets tested for chemicals. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 09:46
      - a small piece of cloth held with tongs. they drop the cloth in some kind of machine that checks for the chemicals. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:46 1
        
        Hmm. So it is illegal now to even touch explosives? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:48
- hand jobs? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 12, 09:40
- where are you going? -- nm - HPV McGee Sep 12, 09:40 1
  - was. Went to Ottawa for a wedding. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:41
- why did they swab your legs? -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:40 4
  - "We're going to need a bigger swab" -- nm - oblique Sep 12, 09:42
  - this is bad and you should feel bad. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:40 2
    - (I read it this way too :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 12, 09:46
    - I mean, I get that the lady probably couldn't reach your cheek. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:41
Motherfucker Miro lost all my Podcasts!!! -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 12, 09:39 3
- magic? -- nm - Beaker Sep 12, 09:41
- With a name like that, it's probably lucky that's all he did. -- nm - Reagen Sep 12, 09:40
- And is this is anything like TDS, there were, what, 20 thousand of them? -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:40
A very calm open letter to the people at work how have not answered my e-mail. - ty97 Sep 12, 09:36 20
- I can't figure out which way your sarcasm is going. Are you annoyed that they just answered you now during their work hours, or that they haven't? -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:39 3
  - There's zero sarcasm, just a typo (not instead of now). I'm quite pleased, actually. -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:40 2
    - And the "who" -> "how" thing too, right? - musubi Sep 12, 09:42 1
      - it's a bad bad day when moose is the one who makes sense of someone else's post. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:43
- It is always nice when people respond. I make sure my 300-400 email a day all get a response as quick as possible - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 09:37 4
  - No wonder your boss hugs you. You do the work of 20 men. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:39 3
    - No I just compulsively answer email. I feel that if it was important enough to email me, I should be expedient in my response. - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 09:45 2
      - "Thanks, but I don't need to get my degree at Phoenix University." -- nm - Cappy SI Sep 12, 09:45 1
        
        bwhahahaha nice. I wonder how many employers discount those kind of degrees -- nm - Capstern (42 Days) Sep 12, 09:51
- *now* *now* not not *now* - ty97 Sep 12, 09:37 5
  - Wha? - musubi Sep 12, 09:38 4
    - It makes sense to me. I'm happy in my silly little world right now! - ty97 Sep 12, 09:39 3
      - Now now not not now? - musubi Sep 12, 09:40 2
        
        I was mostly yelling at myself for that typo I make so often (swapping not and now). -- nm - ty97 Sep 12, 09:41 1

    - Uhm, no. Teenage girls watching Gossip Girl and 90210. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Sep 12, 09:36 5
      - Is anyone watching 90210? Haven't we proved that ressurecting old shows for a new audience doesn't work all that well? -- nm - oblique Sep 12, 09:40 4

        as much as I dig Caan I killed the series recording. - Mel Profit Sep 12, 09:46
    - This is why I'm so surprised. 90210 isn't doing great, and Melrose bombed. -- nm - MDH Sep 12, 09:34 2
      - because the 40 somethings aren't interested in seeing a younger version of the shows they liked. -- nm - loosilu Sep 12, 09:36
      - 90210's shift (out of HS, no parents) will help. -- nm - The Ruiner Sep 12, 09:36
