      - Yeah, just saying it does not effect the current cooldown, starts when it is fired next. - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 09:45

    - Yeah, that whole 2-2 concept seems to not be good. -- nm - Spawn: 4-0 Oct 7, 09:43
Maybe I never noticed it but the new FB news feed seems to be heavily overloaded with people posting weird GIF/JPG to their wall with various sayings - oblique Oct 7, 09:01 4
- I think it's new as well. - con_carne Oct 7, 09:10
- I think part of it is they used to be a lot smaller. Now it's like they take up half the screen and you're scrolling down forever. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 7, 09:07 1
  - Although, looking at it now, since they've gone back to the "most recent" format, it doesn't seem so bad. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 7, 09:08
- I noticed it as well. Kind of annoying. -- nm - Krusty Oct 7, 09:06
Halloween costume idea - Natalie Portman's Black Swan look (with the black eye-makeup "mask." ? -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 08:59 25
- very nice. I like it -- nm - Epiphany Oct 7, 09:02 22
  - so we think there will be a lot of them?? -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:04 21
    - I saw it listed as one of the top 10 'trending costumes' for this year. -- nm - decline Oct 7, 09:05 19
      - oh, I woudl love to see this list. -- nm - amanda jones Oct 7, 09:12 17
        
        cnbc: 15 (not 10) trendiest adult costumes -- (link) - decline Oct 7, 09:15 16
        
        Wait. Edward Scissorhands? That's a trendy thing? Really? (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 09:31 11
        
        I don't think they mean that particular costume. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 09:36 10
        
        So what's the point? "Here's an example of a trendy costume, except not really this one specifically"? (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 09:39 9
        
        Read the caption. They're saying costumes from non-current movies are doing well this year. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 09:44 1
        
        I read the caption, thanks. But if you're gonna say retro movies are trendy, then shouldn't you use a pic of a costume from one of those said trendy - musubi Oct 7, 09:45
        
        it says "characters from old movies" (or something, i didn't go back and check their exact wording.) -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:41 6
        
        "Retro movies". But my point being, if you don't mean Edwards Scissorhands, then what retro movie *do* you mean? Why not use *that* pic? - musubi Oct 7, 09:43 5
        
        It's an example of a class of costumes. The *class* is what's trendy. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 09:44 4
        
        It's supposed to be trendy costumes, a pic that actually depicts that supposely trendy class would make sense? - musubi Oct 7, 09:47 3
        
        Edward Scissorhands is an example. it's part of the group. it IS trendy in that all costumes of that sort are trendy. I'm thinking things like - Andie Oct 7, 09:48 1
        
        And that's what I'm asking. Is Edwards Scissorhands *really* a retro movie that is trendy? - musubi Oct 7, 09:50
        
        *laughing* -- nm - mara Oct 7, 09:48
        
        if I see anyone dressed as an Angry Bird I'm throwing a pig at them. - sycor Oct 7, 09:25 1
        
        see, i thought those were kind of funny. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:28
        
        their mad hatter looks like a pirate. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:20 1
        
        and their Black Swan looks like a burlesque dancer. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:27
      - right. then that's out. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:06
    - err, so=do. -- nm - Andie Oct 7, 09:04
- And a Mila Kunis doll low around the waist. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 7, 09:00 1
  - Finally, another use for my Mila Kunis doll! -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Oct 7, 09:01
LIR - is there a promo code for the key ring thing? - I know it's only $ 5.95 but with everyone signing up - anyone got one? -- nm - Epiphany Oct 7, 08:52
Samsung and Google have decided to postpone the launch of their next jointly-developed device out of respect for Steve Jobs... -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 7, 08:50 1
- That's convenient. I'd heard that they were having trouble getting the tech reporters to come out to San Diego. - Mop (194 lbs) Oct 7, 08:52
Japan's earthquake actually altered Earth's gravity, scientists find... -- (link) - Don Homer Oct 7, 08:46 2
- Funny this is mentioned. I was wondering if a graphic novel about Earth losing its gravity (a lot , a little, I don't know) - bc/nc Oct 7, 08:50
- The f*ck, you say! -- nm - Mop (280 lbs) Oct 7, 08:49

- the same could be said about basing our political structure to rigidly defined geographical subsets ("states") in the first place. - znufrii Oct 7, 08:55 3

  - Offs -- nm - Stephen Oct 7, 08:58
- Becuase Barack Obama is setting a target for $1billion in funding --- that's the cost of a national campaign - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:46 21
  - That money is raised regardless of when the primaries are. If a candidate gains traction they raise more, leading into a national primary. - musubi Oct 7, 08:52 20
    - A candidate really doesn't gain much traction until they have concrete results. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:55
    - There's no way to gain traction without staggered primaries. Name recognition/cash will win out in a single-day primary. -- nm - TWuG Oct 7, 08:54 18
      - or do both. set a bar for a minimum number of delegates in state-by-state primaries to be placed on the ballot at the convention, - znufrii Oct 7, 08:58 1
        
        Offs. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:58
      - You state that as fact, but *right* now, before there has been any primaries, candidates do it. Bachman had her day and lost it, Perry too. Cain's - musubi Oct 7, 08:56 15
        
        Because that one day could be the day before Bachmann implodes or Cain manages to catch the media's attention. A spread out system allows later voter - TWuG Oct 7, 09:00 2
        
        That's caused because everyone's in a race to be first. If eveyone's on the same day it's an even playing field. - musubi Oct 7, 09:26
        
        [deleted]
        
        Please, welcome, the GOP Nominee -- Michele Bachmann - Will Hunting Oct 7, 08:57 11
        
        [deleted] 10
        
        It shouldn't. I'd say there's a better chance we take Primary Day away as a legitimate voting day before I see a single-day event. - Will Hunting Oct 7, 09:00 9
        
        [deleted] 8
        
        Then the answer is, "The parties like it this way, they have very strong reasons to do so...the end." - Will Hunting Oct 7, 09:02 7
        
        That's BS. The parties should be beholden to the American people, not the other way around. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 09:24 6
        
        why should they be beholden to "the people" more than their members? -- nm - znufrii Oct 7, 09:38 5
        
        Because we fund and provide the infrastructure for their primary elections. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 09:44 1
        
        well, then, let's stop doing that. :) -- nm - znufrii Oct 7, 09:45
        
        I sometimes wonder if people think the parties are governmental entities. -- nm - mara Oct 7, 09:39 2
        
        I sometimes wonder if people think that parties don't rely on gov't for much of their institutionalized power. (nm) - musubi Oct 7, 09:47 1
        
        and that is one of the key dysfunctions of our de.mocracy. - znufrii Oct 7, 09:51
- I think there's value in weeding out candidates along the way. Otherwise you have candidates that essentially have to fund their entire campaigns - pmb Oct 7, 08:45 6
  - How would it change from what happens now, if everyone was pushed back to at least May? - musubi Oct 7, 08:48
  - [deleted] 4
    - Not really. The focus is on the first states and the super tuesday states because those have the effect of making or breaking the campaigns of others - pmb Oct 7, 08:54 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Fewer people will even attempt to opt in if they have to raise the money to fund a national campaign from the outset. People make their run and try - pmb Oct 7, 09:12 1
        
        People can still make their run and try to gain momentum. Cain, Bachman, Huntsman, Perry are all doing that now, without a single primary held. - musubi Oct 7, 09:30
- Aside from my not knowing what "seriatim" means, I endorse this post whole-heartedly. - musubi Oct 7, 08:45 1

LIR: Insurance. So looking at $450k dwelling coverage on a house appraised for $250k isn't probably the right amount? - oblique Oct 7, 08:39 13
- It's the house and everything in it, isn't it? -- nm - mara Oct 7, 08:43 1

      - It's very common for jewelry to appraise high. It can appreciate in price, however, you also pay a higher premium the higher it appraises. -- nm - pmb Oct 7, 08:46
