TTIS: Where on I-65 in Kentucky does the ET/CT time zone change? -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:27 4
- Okay, took a bit, but just south of Upton, where you cross from Hardin into Hart counties. -- nm - emoticripple Oct 21, 11:38
- here's the breakdown of time zones by county -- (link) - znufrii Oct 21, 11:32
- It's actually the exact same place in both directions... - Jammed Uzi Oct 21, 11:30
- My guess is Dry Ridge -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 21, 11:28
Right now I am hating my dog and at least one of my cats. The dog made a mess in our living room/dining room - TWuG Oct 21, 11:18 11
- My dogs teach eachother crazy stuff. Also 'the stupid (food-motivated) one' has picked up tricks from the smart one.. b/c it equals extra food !! -- nm - Jammed Uzi Oct 21, 11:35
- I swear my brain is gone. I read this as: Right now I am hating my dog for eating my cat. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 11:30 1
  - He threatened one of our cats with that once. She kept bothering him and finally he snatched her in his jaws - TWuG Oct 21, 11:32
- You cannot hate the dog for that! Afterall, it is your fault.. -- nm - grammar Oct 21, 11:29 1
  - How so? -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 11:31
- i know it's probably too late for your current problem, but when my cat kept going on the carpet I used this stuff - decline Oct 21, 11:29 1
  - I'll keep it in mind, thanks. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 11:30
- *feeds his fish, smiles* -- nm - colin Oct 21, 11:23
- seal the floor, put down sealed laminate wood. - ty97 Oct 21, 11:20 2
  - "Has to be done by Friday" and we don't want wood. That room abuts the foyer/kitchen area that is already hardwood. Which is a bitch to keep clean. -- nm - TWuG Oct 21, 11:21 1
    - laminate wood isn't actually wood, so you don't have the upkeep. - ty97 Oct 21, 11:24
Tax question: Does the sales tax deduction still exist for those people who live in a state with no income tax -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:17 5
- WA had an exception written into some other bill, but the paper work was a lot to deal with, didn't bother even though we bought a car -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 21, 11:19 4
  - For the last 2 or 3 years, the Feds have allowed a deduction for sales tax where you other folks enter your deduction for state income tax. - ty97 Oct 21, 11:21 3
    - It was extended as part of the bailout package. -- nm - psilotum Oct 21, 11:27
    - I believe the deduction was extended. This link might help. -- (link) - gordon06 Oct 21, 11:27 1
      - Better link ... yes it was extended. It is in the bailout package. -- (link) - gordon06 Oct 21, 11:43
ST Job Hunting: Anyone think that if STers shared their resumes, that we could help them find a job? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:14 9
- Hawthorne's First 12 Month Template damn near got me my dream job... - Mel Profit Oct 21, 11:22 2
  - Can you gmail me a sample of that? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 11:30 1
    - Sure...let me find it. - Mel Profit Oct 21, 11:33
- Redbird helped me rebuild my resume a few years ago. Pointed out several things I never would have thought of -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 11:15 5
  - YOu removed the part about the porn you've done, right? -- nm - secretslacker Oct 21, 11:21
  - The gang is very good at resume building. I've seen numerous posts about this. I think someone here has a great template. Just don't remember who. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:17 3
    - I have a template I love. -- nm - TFox Oct 21, 11:30
    - I would say we should add it to the HSXTT Wiki... but then are we going to need to build a new Wiki for ST? -- nm - Mr. Havens Oct 21, 11:18 1
      - I pondered this. It would be really easy for me to set up an ST wiki, the hard part would be linking the usernames :) - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:26
Those Halo 3 Mythbusters are grrrrreat. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:12 19
- tv show Mythbusters? -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 11:14 10
  - It's a series of Halo 3 videos on Youtube, attempting to bust various myths about gameplay quirks -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:15 9
    - oh cool. thanks. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 11:16 8
      - e.g. The bubble shield starts working before its animation appears. (nm) - David Oct 21, 11:17 7
        
        I've known this for quite some time. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:18 6
        
        Well, Mr. Knowledge, you should have created a YouTube video of it. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:19 5
        
        So, did you like my view of the film I sent? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 21, 11:21 4
        
        What I love about it is that even in slo-mo, you can't catch the first three barrel rolls. They happen that fast. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:22 3
        
        I honestly think the only way it coulda been better was if they landed on you and got a kill. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 11:29 2
        
        I think David would have blown up his TV Elvis style if that happened. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 11:31
        
        If I had spawned a second earlier, they would have decapitated me. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:31
- *smacks David on the right shoulder* -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:12 7
  - Be careful. I have a gravity hammer and there is only a wall between us. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:13 6
    - I knew the hammer one. and I think I instictively knew the right should deal. That's where I hit most people with the rifle anyway. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 11:21 4
      - That one shocked me. -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:22 3
        
        yeah it does. Maybe something to do with the armor. I can't think it's a glitch. -- nm - Remlik Oct 21, 11:25 2
        
        The one where you can shoot through the elite's neck with no damage was surprising -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:27 1
        
        Yeah, I'm changing back to an elite. ;) -- nm - David Oct 21, 11:30
    - but I'm on a mongoose and my passenger has already tagged you with a sticky grenade -- nm - Beryllium Oct 21, 11:13
people complained about free porn? -- (link) - zork Oct 21, 11:07 5
- so it was UAI? Give them a GBD! -- nm - The Calico Cat Coalition Oct 21, 11:20
- I like pr0n as much as the next guy, but even I'd call to complain about that. - JaxSean Oct 21, 11:10
- No way that was an accident. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:10 2
  - i'm sure it was. actually, back in the early to mid 80's, City TV here accidentally showed a couple of minutes of porn one night - zork Oct 21, 11:13 1
    - I miss Canada. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:18

  - plus, Mop sometimes has inner messages that back up what he says in the subject line. -- nm - all the boys love mandy lane Oct 21, 11:10
The Big Picture - The Sun (linky) -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 11:02 7

  - How are we all not burned to a crisp? -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:10 1

Any word from ML on V2? - Mop Oct 21, 10:58 7
- no news is good news? ... actually, when he made that post, it took me a minute to realise he wasn't talked about HSX 2.0 -- nm - zork Oct 21, 11:03 5
  - I almost posted "Who's V2?" but then realized my error. -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:05
  - and for those who missed it ... -- (link) - zork Oct 21, 11:05 3
    - yikes, positive thoughts and prayers to V2 -- nm - sgtmike Oct 21, 11:12

- Spite is not a good enough reason to return merchandise! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 11:00
Offer made on house. Not exactly 20% off asking. More like 17-18%. Let the fun begin. - Mop Oct 21, 10:57 2

  - TY, ty! -- nm - Mop Oct 21, 10:59

        See, but this should have all been taken care of in the original bill. Feingold voted Nay, and that tells me something. -- nm - Dano School Musical 3 Oct 21, 11:23

- pheeew -- nm - DaneDukeNuuk Oct 21, 10:55 1
  - yeah, I was expecting to see major cosmetic damage when I got out of the car. -- nm - CrankYanker Oct 21, 10:56
- what needs to evaluated are the shock absorbing struts that hold the bumper to the frame, they can look undamaged, but are only a one time use, they.. - zeitgeist Oct 21, 10:53 1

      - Well you were allready doing it. -- nm - eag Oct 21, 11:07

- Ugh. What rotten bastards. Sorry to hear this. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 21, 11:01
- that sucks. I hope you get the appeal and it goes through. Its bullshit that your ex-employer can do this. nm - Jovian Oct 21, 11:00 1
