If I were to get an xbox 360, is there a reason for me to get the 250gb instead of the 4gb? - pmb Oct 31, 12:38 9
- future proof yourself. plus if you buy a movie and store it on there you need the space -- nm - Remlik Oct 31, 13:31
- Ok. Thanks all. -- nm - pmb Oct 31, 12:42
- A 4 GB hard drive comes with 2.7 GB of space already used.You -have- to get a larger hard drive. -- nm - David Oct 31, 12:41
- you will play downloaded games, even if it's the free demos and betas. -- nm - Mop on Evo Oct 31, 12:41
- Installing a game onto the harddrive helps it run more smoothly and the xbox to run more quietly than playing it off the cd, - Max Oct 31, 12:40
- If you are going to play Rock Band and get downloaded songs, you want a lot more than 4gb -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:40 1
  - Good call. All DLC takes up a ton of space. So do movie downloads (possibly even for streaming). -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 12:41
- Battlefield 3 requires ~12 gigabytes of space on the HD if you want real textures instead of blurry ugliness. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 12:39 1
  - (And my suspicion is that games are increasingly going to have requirements like this) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 12:39
I see on the TV at the gym that the Ghost Hunters are on Millionaire. -- nm - Mop on Evo Oct 31, 12:38 1

The Search for the Next Iron Chef began yesterday. Got some high-powered chefs competing, it was an entertaining show -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:30 5

- It was a first as well, wasn't it? -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 31, 12:39 1
  - I forget if it was the first linking back to the previous board, or a last linking to the next board. -- nm - zork Oct 31, 12:41
- Later on I did it too. It's difficult because you had to guess at the latency and adjust the time accordingly. -- nm - zork Oct 31, 12:35
- It would be even easier here, because the posts are incrementally indexed ... :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 12:31 1
  - Unless you're Jim -- nm - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 31, 12:34
I got the dogs Halloween-themed bandanas. I can only imagine how this is going to go with Miss Daisy. -- nm - kare Oct 31, 12:24 4
- (got them out of the bag. she ran and hid.) -- nm - kare Oct 31, 12:26 2
  - ... and Lizzie's is on and now Daisy won't go near her. she is also pacing. - kare Oct 31, 12:32 1
    - bandana critics can be so fussy -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:37
- why ... doesn't she like to look "puuuuurty" -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 12:25

- I will perhaps be making three stuffing dishes. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 12:38 4
  - One Thanksgiving I made 3 different versions of mashed potatoes. Regular Velvety, Garlic and Wasabi. -- nm - Diva Oct 31, 12:39 3
    - There's not enough garlic in my plans. Must fix this. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 12:41
    - Wasabi! -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:40 1
      - they're good. -- nm - Diva Oct 31, 12:41
- goat cheese in stuffing? I can't decide if I'm intrigued or repulsed. I guess both. -- nm - kare Oct 31, 12:22 5
  - I bookmarked it. So color me intrigued -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:25
  - intripulsed? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 12:25
  - recipe looked awesome. -- nm - Diva Oct 31, 12:25
  - recipe linked on B2 - and it looks really good - Chorizo! -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 12:23 1
    - *chorizo optional -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 12:38
- Who is leading in overall wins? -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:21 9
  - doug wins every year (except the year of sasha style). he puts in like sausage or beans or like pretzels or something. - clockwork jones Oct 31, 12:27 6
    - sounds like a fun competition to be a judge at -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:28 5
      - yeah. it's not possible to come home skinny. sash told doug I was losing weight and doug said "just get her to come for thanksgiving. problem solved." - clockwork jones Oct 31, 12:31 4
        
        did you mean to link driving directions ?:) -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:33 3
        
        that's how close they are to wawa. I will eat like six pretzels in the 24 hours I'm there. one every four hours. like a drug. - clockwork jones Oct 31, 12:34 2
        
        Now I have a vision of you setting your alarm so you don't miss the middle of the night pretzel feeding -- nm - crash davis Oct 31, 12:35 1
        
        if there were wawa here, I would drive to work every day so I could pretz. god, they're so good. decline should go get one - clockwork jones Oct 31, 12:41

    - [deleted] 2
      - One imagines it's rather difficult to get the smell of puke out of your hair. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 31, 12:40

    - I liked there there was the faint idea at the beginning of sharing. - Mel Profit Oct 31, 12:37
  - Why WOULDN'T everyone drink out of goldfish bowls?! -- nm - Every Day is Vegastravaganza si Oct 31, 12:23

  - Quarks tends to bring out the worst.. I mean the best out of us - eag Oct 31, 12:26
  - That's not the first time that happened at Quarks. When Comdex was still around we used to get plastered there. - ceregon Oct 31, 12:23 6
    - We would drink 2-3 of them plus shots. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 31, 12:35 1

- dorks. - this is my costume Oct 31, 12:19
- that sounds like pure hell. -- nm - kare Oct 31, 12:19 4
  - I can tell you I for one would never be seated :) -- nm - JenBro Oct 31, 12:21 3
    - right?? we'll just hang outside. ;) -- nm - kare Oct 31, 12:30 2
      - (or you could just ask the other people already sitting what table it was.) - TFox Oct 31, 12:31 1
        
        it really does sound like a fun ice breaker for this reason. I'm just dumm. -- nm - kare Oct 31, 12:34
- if we did this at my wedding, my brother wouldn't have found a seat till March. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 31, 12:18 6

- It goes without saying -- nm - amoxy Oct 31, 12:17
Sauce should not be shaped like a can. that's all I'm saying. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:13 4
- is this the cranberry thing? While I mostly agree, I do find the shape highly amusing. - Beryllium Oct 31, 12:19
- you know there are two products, right? one is a "sauce" and the other is a "jelly" - zork Oct 31, 12:17 1
  - what does the can label say? yeah, that's right. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:19
- I prefer to think of it as a sauce-shaped can. -- nm - Ender Oct 31, 12:14

ST is good at shopping. And naming things. You know how at a buffet there are little holders with cards naming the dish? - ty97 Oct 31, 12:10 13
- don't buy them, do something cuter. like, buy a bunch of those mini pumpkins (gourds, really) and write the dish name on it with a sharpie/ - Frankenstandie Oct 31, 12:14 2
  - I want to do something cheap, actually. - ty97 Oct 31, 12:18 1
    - just buy a couple pieces of heavier paper (like, single pieces of construction paper, or one piece of bristal board) and fold them. -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 31, 12:21

- place card holders. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:11 4
  - this. you can also just find some nice cardstock and fold them tent style. last year for turkey day I put flag-shaped stickers on crab apple stems - kare Oct 31, 12:17 2
    - or pre-folded cards, which are available in the same aisle. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:22
    - If I were a vampire, and I bit you, would I become more creative? - ty97 Oct 31, 12:21
  - or google "buffet signs" or "buffet card holders". I just came up with a bunch. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:12
- the holders or the cards? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 31, 12:11 3
  - yes -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 12:11 2
    - they sell the holders as cheapo photo holders too, like a little cube of plastic with a bendy wire and a clip at the top. add small card into clip. -- nm - TFox Oct 31, 12:13 1
      - total dollar store item -- nm - Frankenstandie Oct 31, 12:15
ok, another resume question (I only ask them cause st - collectively - wants me to switch jobs). - tRuMaN Oct 31, 12:09 12
- Not enough keywords - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 31, 12:30 2
  - i dont know what keywords to add though. - tRuMaN Oct 31, 12:31 1
    - Pretend you were hiring for the job you want. What words would you search for in order to find someone with those skills? - spamlet (iPhone) Oct 31, 12:37
- you need numbers. how many preparations per month/year, etc? - colin Oct 31, 12:12 2
  - To be honest I disagree with this. Accounting firms don't care the number of returns you complete - MDH Oct 31, 12:15 1
    - well, i am trying to write up something that would work for both CPA firms and everything else - tRuMaN Oct 31, 12:23
- You need to add "Abided world class A-hole" under key accomplishments. - TFox Oct 31, 12:10 5
  - it's not *your* resume. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:10 3
    - *pats head* tried so hard, you almost even understood what I wrote. -- nm - TFox Oct 31, 12:11 2
      - dammit. dammit. -- nm - Zombie Liz Taylor Oct 31, 12:13
      - Zombie Liz Taylor can be forgiven. And the hunt for more braaaaaains continues ... -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 12:12
