Now, when you type "IP" into Google, it'll give your IP address. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:44
who's having some voltaggio sammich and crab chips for lunch? - poxie Oct 19, 13:43 5
- "some"? unless it contains parts of michael (ew), we need details. -- nm - b. Oct 19, 13:46 4
  - maple turkey melt -- (link) - poxie Oct 19, 13:47 3
    - *drool* good choice! -- nm - b. Oct 19, 13:49 2
      - they had a new korean bbq short rib sammy, but they put kimchi on it too -- nm - poxie Oct 19, 13:50 1
        
        omg, these crab chips are better than Utz -- nm - poxie Oct 19, 13:52
dawson - thanks for that NYTimes link. - Diva Oct 19, 13:40 8
- I have like seven open browser tabs of stuff I keep meaning to look at. All links from ST. - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:41 7
  - (and apparently Chrome bookmarks doesn't talk to Google Bookmarks... which seems just silly) -- nm - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:42 6
    - Google Bookmarks is going away soon. If you rely on it you'll need to find an alternative. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 13:43 5
      - Really? Cake on a stick. - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:45 4
        
        I went looking for the link and I remembered wrong. It was speculation of a blogger not actual fact. So it's NOT ending. Sorry. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 13:50 3
        
        Sweet! White meat vs. dark article, I'll never lose you now! -- nm - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:53 2
        
        Isn't it cute when people who prefer the blander food think they are the correct ones? -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:54 1
        
        Indeed. I look forward to many years of pointing and laughing at them by way of this irreverently written article. -- nm - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:57

- I'm tougher, I'll electrocute them! (nm) - Herman Cain Oct 19, 13:43 5
  - Get your own schtick. -- nm - Rick Parry Oct 19, 13:50
  - "actually no, nevermind what I said, I was just making a joke! Dont you people know jokes?!" -- nm - Herman Cain Oct 19, 13:49 2
    - You know, I thought about it more, and yeah, I'd electrocute them. - ceregon Oct 19, 13:51
    - Enjoy our new Soylent Pizza! -- nm - Herman Cain Oct 19, 13:50
  - while feeding them to alligators. hell, electrified alligators -- nm - poxie Oct 19, 13:44

  - Well, it's not like he's personally arresting them. He could be doing more! - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:40 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - and then shoot them with sidearms! -- nm - Jovian Oct 19, 13:55
      - and perhaps exploiting their vital organs and tissues! -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:41
  - I think I said he was rich but not wealthy. :) -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 19, 13:39 4
    - [deleted]
    - Does this mean that he has money, but he doesn't use it to buy mexicans to peel his grapes? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:42 2
      - Nobody does. You just let them keep every 10th grape. Everybody wins. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 19, 13:44 1
        
        (and if they're good - all the peels) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:53
Oof, I hadn't seen Jimmie Johnson's crash from Saturday night....a decade ago, that's a fatality as well. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 13:33
Great. I guess iOS5's new default is Reply All on text messages. - nubby Oct 19, 13:32 5
- I thought it's always been? I almost ... yeah, I was almost busted doing something really untoward by "reply-all." I never multiple person message. - amanda jones Oct 19, 13:52
- [deleted] 3
  - Interestingly, I was replying to a text that... you know, nevermind. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:36
  - I just lost 11 old friends. -- nm - nubby si Oct 19, 13:35
  - "No, Andy, he did that on purpose." *astonished giggling* -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:35
Did anyone see the Halloween themed Chopped? *spoils* - Epiphany Oct 19, 13:29 1
- agreed -- nm - peglegpete Oct 19, 13:51
Yikes, the Dispatch has a picture of the dead animals. -- (link) - Ender Oct 19, 13:28 35
- how horrible. -- nm - Jovian Oct 19, 13:48
- it upsets me a lot that they killed pretty much all of them. i don't believe, no matter what they say, that that was necessary. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:48 23
  - there isnt any question in my mind either that all this was necessary either. Hick cops had themselves a field day! Yeaa haa!! - Jovian Oct 19, 13:51 19
    - I'm going to take Jack Hanna's word on this one. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:52 5
      - There was no better option, sadly. If the fucktard hadn't let them free they'd all still be alive. Blame him, not the cops who were trying to - TWuG Oct 19, 13:55 1
        
        from what I saw on the videos, those communities did not need protecting. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 14:00
      - The deaths are regrettable, but it's the guy who let them go that gets the blame, not the guys who showed up to find 35 lions and tigers running loose on a dark and stormy night. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:54 2
        
        this, exactly. Suicide guy is the one who killed them. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:55 1
        
        he would likely have also killed them if he had not let them loose. - ghouly Oct 19, 14:01
    - really? 18 tigers running loose, couple of cops with shotguns? -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:52 12
      - I dont buy it. sorry. they slaughtered almost all of them! did these animals coordinate an attack on the police? -- nm - Jovian Oct 19, 13:53 9
        
        What did you want them to do? Sneak up on them and put a leash on them? They couldn't tranq them in the night and couldn't wait till morning. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:55 2
        
        right. they couldn't call the zoo and wait 8 hours for experts to set up nets. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:56 1
        
        Well, they did call the zoo and they were there last night and they supported the "shoot them" plan. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:57
        
        yes, because tigers are generally docile and completely safe to be around. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:54 5
        
        i understand that there was no way to avoid *some* deaths. i don't believe there was no way to capture even one lion or tiger with tranquilizers. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:56 4
        
        apparently several animals were indeed caught alive. And at least one animal was killed by the other animals. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:57 3
        
        yes, six. not one lion or tiger which is why i said those specifically. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:59 1
        
        I support their decision on this completely, sorry. - loosilu Oct 19, 14:00
        
        A grizzly bear, three leopards and two monkeys were captured alive. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:58
      - Initial responders used sidearms. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 13:53 1
        
        ok. A couple of cops with 18 tigers, armed only with glocks. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:54
  - you might feel dif if lions and tigers where hungry in your suburban nabe -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:50 1
    - i'm actually pretty damn sure i wouldn't. i wouldn't go *out*, but i'd want them to capture all that were possible. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:53
  - *high fives andie* nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:49
- gah, that is so sad. what a waste. :( - stoopid/crazy guy. -- nm - b. Oct 19, 13:44
- 18 TIGERS????? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:38 6
  - And a mere 17 lions. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:39 5
    - how the hell do you feed that many animals? nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:40 4
      - Hobos mostly. -- nm - Ender Oct 19, 13:43
      - Dead livestock he got from nearby farms, in part. -- nm - TWuG Oct 19, 13:42 2
        
        last I heard, it is like 200 pounds of meat a week to feed one full grown tiger. - ghouly Oct 19, 13:49 1
        
        i've been to feeding time a rescue near my home town - yeah, one tiger ate, like, 20 pounds of meat at that feeding. -- nm - Andie Oct 19, 13:50
- I don't think this trailer for "We Bought a Zoo" is going to work out well. -- nm - Qale Oct 19, 13:30
- *kare do not click this - I'm not either* -- nm - Epiphany Oct 19, 13:29
this is awesome (is it locked?): Colleges are calling off the deals that allowed many professors time out from teaching - amanda jones Oct 19, 13:25 34
- many univ's are declaring fiscal emergenies that allow them to layoff otherwiise tenured proffs -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:33
- he's gotta work FIVE days a week?!?!?! What is this, a plantation??? - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 19, 13:28 24
  - Profs need that time to go hang out in cafes with their tweed jackets and be moody -- nm - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:39 2
    - I'm sayin'! -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:48 1
      - By the way, how do you type and smoke your huge pipe at the same time? -- nm - con_carnage Oct 19, 13:54
  - I'm very skeptical of that. You can't exactly do a chem lab online, for instance. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:31 9
    - on the other hand, at big schools professors never teach lab. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:47 1
      - That's not really what I'm talking about. - Reagen Oct 19, 13:55
    - Okay, okay, I retract "everything". But still... - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 19, 13:44 4
      - the textbook thing will change in that they won't be physical. But I'm sure they will still cost a fortune. -- nm - loosilu Oct 19, 13:48 1
        
        Just look at the price of e-books now -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:51
      - I'm not meaning to harsh your futuristic mellow, I just don't see how those things will change with the use of technology - Reagen Oct 19, 13:47
      - I don't think it'll be extinct per se, but possibly reduced. - nubby Oct 19, 13:46
    - my bio class is a hybrid, 3 hour lab once a week, assignments and lectures done online -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 13:32 1
      - I really like hybrids. I can't stand fully online classes. (I may start next year, but only to freeze my student loan interest.) -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 13:33
  - My wife is going back to school online to finish her degree (PSU ftw!) and she's not terribly impressed by it. It's definitely a weaker experience - Don Homer Oct 19, 13:30 9
    - Today, sure. But I'm looking at the difference in the web and overall tech from 16 years ago and imagining the difference 16 years from now. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 19, 13:41 6
      - For the most part, people are just using tech to do the same things they did before, just easier. - Reagen Oct 19, 13:43 5
        
        Hands-on, I agree with you. "collective learning"... look where you're posting. - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 19, 13:46 4
        
        you really can't beat face-to-face for engagement in a process. -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:48 2
        
        Yeah. And there's an app for that :) -- nm - VerminTime Oct 19, 13:51 1
        
        ...not really. - Reagen Oct 19, 13:54
        
        Maybe it's only self-preservationist, but I strenuously disagree with your IM. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:48
    - there's a reason I'm back taking classes in person rather than online. -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 13:31 1
      - Porn made it tough to study? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 19, 13:31
  - 5 days a week teaching, rather than 1 day teaching and 4 days researching/writing -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:30
- "Christopher P. Neck"? - prayformojo Oct 19, 13:28 4
  - at least it's not V. Neck. - Reagen Oct 19, 13:29
  - "My name is Guy Incognito." -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 13:28 2
    - "Hi, I'm George Cauldron" -- nm - prayformojo Oct 19, 13:31 1
      - "Wait, Joey Jo-Jo!" -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:38
- More teaching = less research = less innovation. - nubby Oct 19, 13:27 2
  - This is true - but OTOH there are also big problems with funding research programs through teaching fees. -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:31
  - right, but in an era where that reserach can't be grant-funded because there are no grants, everyone loses on buyouts - amanda jones Oct 19, 13:31
Damnit, Festus Ezeli. Why did you go get yourself suspended? - TFox Oct 19, 13:24 1
- How is that a person and not, say, an obscure Jewish holiday? -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:26
spawn, did i send you a WWF game invite? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 19, 13:24
amanda should ask for a vende monitor -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:24
Eh hee yeah amanaya yeaha yeah eh eh amana, i'm gonna drop the devil to his knees. - tRuMaN Oct 19, 13:19

  - last one...the reason anakin worked for the dark side? - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:47
- Nice. Though it might be more accurate as something like #OccupyCoruscant. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 13:22 6
  - of course fox news only shows sound bites of jar-jar -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:35 1
    - "Meesa thinks meesa rent is too high" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:36
  - occupydeathstar...let's face it we were sold some crappy investments there, the deal just blew up, and of course only the top executive got away -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 19, 13:26 1
    - he had the golden TIE package -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:27
  - #OccupyAlderaan #OhShit #silence -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:24 1
    - nice -- nm - znufrii Oct 19, 13:43
Ender, I agree, the long distance could definitely have had an impact on taste. -- nm - Don Homer Oct 19, 13:16 2
- yah, and it's just an odd-to-me thing in general, since cain hasn't been with the chain in 16 years. -- nm - b. Oct 19, 13:33
- I had the same thought. - pmb Oct 19, 13:17
I'd hate to run afowl of the chicken lobby. -- nm - nubby Oct 19, 13:16
1) Had Katey Sagal really done anything dramatic before SOA? 2) Daivd, did you guys ever get around to watching this? - prayformojo Oct 19, 13:16 2
- "Smart House" :-) -- nm - MDH Oct 19, 13:24
- She's done guest spots here and there that showed the talent. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Oct 19, 13:16
~mister richard smoker, you're a chicken choker...~ - znufrii Oct 19, 13:15
hmm, can't find any streaming news of the shipbuilding announcement ... ah well -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:14 6
- Halifax for the com,bat vessels, Vancouver for the non-cmbat -- nm - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:17 1
  - yeah, managed to get the CBC stream working (see! State media is good for something. Finding out who won state contracts.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 19, 13:18
- it's just a rumor that was spread around town, maybe? -- nm - amanda jones Oct 19, 13:14 1
  - hee hee hee. -- nm - Kim Pine dressed in a Ramona Flowers costume Oct 19, 13:22
- here -- (link) - Bloger Blore Oct 19, 13:14 1

If DC were smart, they should have made an achievement for Arkham City called "I Found Some Evidence!" -- nm - Reagen Oct 19, 13:14
"i am the 312.50%" heh -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 19, 13:13 1

Have we seen the dog that plays fetch by himself? -- (link) - GregW Oct 19, 13:08 5
- I had a corgi that would do something like that - ceregon Oct 19, 13:50
- My dog does stuff like this. He picks it up off the floor and tosses it and then chases it (though he much prefers when we throw it to him). -- nm - pmb Oct 19, 13:15

Adam Sandler wins the biggest celebrity contest. -- nm - Jim Oct 19, 13:07 11
- did he call in for you? -- nm - Remlik Oct 19, 13:17 1
  - Uh...no. :) -- nm - Jim Oct 19, 13:17
- Did Jenny McCarthy wind up calling in? -- nm - pmb Oct 19, 13:14 7
  - Don't think so. -- nm - Jim Oct 19, 13:17
  - I have not gotten a response from either her or her sister. nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:15 5
    - No biggie...I don't think she'd have beaten Sandler anyway. -- nm - Jim Oct 19, 13:18 4
      - likely not, but it would have been nice anyway. - ghouly Oct 19, 13:18 3
        
        Exactly...this was like a spur of the moment contest, that I didn't even hear about until it had been going for 24 hours. -- nm - Jim Oct 19, 13:20 2
        
        it just gives me an exucse to talk to them when they get back to me! nm -- nm - ghouly Oct 19, 13:25 1
