mandy, be warned. The instructions on that unit are non-existant - oblique Dec 29, 12:42 1
- *peg A goes into slot B...repeat as required* seems pretty easy... -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 12:46
4 years after the fact, Marie Digby's cover of Rihanna's Umbrella is getting play on the easy listening speakers at the grocery store. - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:34 1

Anyone want to try to explain to me the significance of the PAC-12/Big 10 deal? -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:31 5
- It's a win win. - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:37 2
  - Presumably, this accelerates the end-game? -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:38 1
    - Not really. - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:38
- the rich get richer -- nm - budice Dec 29, 12:34 1
  - WOOHOO!!! -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:34
LYC: Michelle Branch has joined the Ron Paul bandwagon. -- (link) - MDH Dec 29, 12:22 21
- People are backing him because of the libertarian label, not knowing what it actually means or researching Paul himself. -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:29 16
  - I completely disagree. - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:35 10
    - Maybe his core supporters, but Clarkson and Branch are already recanting. -- nm - MDH Dec 29, 12:38 7
      - I just don't buy the "oooo he's a libertarian! I'll support him!" idea. - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:40 4
        
        Honestly, I think that's a lot of it. I get how it resonates and agree (and have always agreed with significant parts of it). But strict adherence - pmb Dec 29, 12:48
        
        Sadly your IM is dead on with a lot of people. They are the "hot new thing," people like the word. -- nm - MDH Dec 29, 12:42 2
        
        I just don't see it with Paul - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:46 1
        
        His core supporters are increasingly young people who view this as something new and exciting. - pmb Dec 29, 12:50
      - It's the approach of those who are Libertarian in name only. - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:40 1
        
        this -- nm - Beaker Dec 29, 12:45
    - I'll grant you, his voting history and policies are clear. His skeletons, though, are just coming out. -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:37 1
      - He's just the flavor of the week, aka he hasn't proven himself to be an idiot yet, but now he's doing just that. - MDH Dec 29, 12:41
  - He's pretty right-on about foreign policy. Most everything else... not so much. -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 12:31 4
    - Not really. He's right that we probably stick our noses into others business too much. He's absolutely wrong that it's never appropriate. -- nm - pmb Dec 29, 12:52
    - That's interesting, given that it's his foreign policy that's taking the most heat right now. -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:32
    - Except for his stance that we shouldn't have gone to war against Hitler -- nm - amoxy Dec 29, 12:32 1
      - That's the thing. People don't follow through what the world would look like if Ron Paul ran it. - pmb Dec 29, 12:55
- So has Kelly Clarkson -- nm - amoxy Dec 29, 12:24 3
  - She's from Texas, that doesn't surprise me. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 29, 12:28
  - Oh, Kelly. Kelly, no. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 12:25 1
    - That is what she posted on her Facebook page yesterday - amoxy Dec 29, 12:26

You may know Arthur from Paul and Hanna from J. Edgar, but how well you know 2011: The Year in Movies (Part III)? -- (link) - prayformojo Dec 29, 12:20
jenbro from b2 : Yes, puppy is a keeper, we are just working hard on housebreaking it. - groiny Dec 29, 12:01 12
- That means he likes you. -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:19 1
  - R Kelly? nm -- nm - groiny Dec 29, 12:22
- Limit his access to your home and put pee pads down. When he does good make a big deal, when he does bad don't give any attention. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 12:03 8
  - Doggie diaper! -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:23
  - every vet I've ever spoken to says pee pads are a bad idea - decline Dec 29, 12:10 6
    - Good points. They are great for smal dogs who are going to be home alone for several hours though. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 12:32
    - yeah, this is my understanding as well, and I have had dogs for 40 years. - groiny Dec 29, 12:13 4
      - We got so lucky with Murphy. - Will Hunting Dec 29, 12:14 3
        
        This is pretty funny considering the last few weeks. - kelly Dec 29, 12:43
        
        yeah, if it were not for the messes in the house, he would be the perfect puppy. - groiny Dec 29, 12:16 1
        
        Do you take him out often? We took our puppy out every couple of hours until he was trained. - pmb Dec 29, 12:44
- Pixie joke in 3... 2... 1... -- nm - Fuzzy Dec 29, 12:02
Fox and Hens s8 -- I've created the group and added everyone I could think of or had a record of. If I missed someone, please let me know. - Fuzzy Dec 29, 11:53 6
- Fox and Hens?! *quits ST* -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 12:19 2
  - Better watch it, Bery might use the BanHammer on you -- nm - amoxy Dec 29, 12:26
  - WWJD? - groiny Dec 29, 12:22
- Put me on the alternate. If you need players, I will play, otherwise let some other people play first -- nm - amoxy Dec 29, 12:11
- Cool! I get to be a fo....err, hen. -- nm - David Dec 29, 12:04 1
  - AMBUSH David! -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 12:05
While we're talking about Kiva and general good acts, let me pimp Philanthroper.com -- (link) - nubby Dec 29, 11:42 1
- I like that place. It's like buying an MP3. *click* done -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 11:44
My TV was delivered! I suddenly feel ill. I must go home -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 11:37 20

  - DML: What do I use first to test the new TV? - oblique Dec 29, 11:51 17
    - avatar, on bluray -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 29, 12:37 2
      - tried, wasn't at the library. It was first on my list -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 12:37 1
        
        Get a 3d Blu ray player from Panasonic (about $130) and they will send 3D Avatar via rebate. -- nm - David Dec 29, 12:52
    - The right answer, "Boobies look bigger in 3D!" -- nm - budice Dec 29, 12:22 3
      - Sadly, I don't have a 3D capable BR -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 12:37
      - seriously. go get yourself a copy of Piranha 3D - it's the only way to make sure the TV is really working right -- nm - decline Dec 29, 12:25 1
        
        Heh I recorded that off of one of the free pay channel previews - Stephen Dec 29, 12:46
    - Which one did you get? -- nm - David Dec 29, 12:02 2
      - 46LW5600 -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 12:13 1

Who's still doing FoldingAtHome? What's the team name? -- nm - Max Dec 29, 11:31 4
- HSX. Its team #139. -- nm - sgtmike Dec 29, 12:36
- Can Macs do that? -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 11:32 2

Kim Jong Un looks like he wants his fried chicken and he wants it NOW. - Diva Dec 29, 11:18 2
- This post makes me think of - Strongbad Dec 29, 11:30
- Seeing him standing there during the funeral, you know he's thinking "Maybe now I'll get laid." -- nm - Mop (null lbs) Dec 29, 11:23
Berry, do you have a large version of the Slackertalk icon from twitter? -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 11:03 2

After just setting the NFL single-season passing yardage record, there is a chance Drew Brees won't even end up the record holder. -- (link) - Don Homer Dec 29, 11:02 2
- It all depends on the Niners/Rams game. If the Rams can give the Niners a game - amoxy Dec 29, 11:13
- we were discussing that at work this week. i suspect Brees will play the first half. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 11:04
KIVA lending group is up to 13 members! Here is the link if you want to join the team - amoxy Dec 29, 10:57 11
- Question about KIVA - Fuzzy Dec 29, 11:13 8
  - You do get interest. But I usually give my interest back to KIVA for operating costs - amoxy Dec 29, 11:16 7
    - ? It is my understanding that Kiva lenders do not get interest. The field partners get interest, but it doesn't trickle up to us. {nm} - Banzai! Dec 29, 11:26 3
      - I know I have loaned $25 and gotten back $27-28 -- nm - amoxy Dec 29, 11:41 2
        
        Have you made more than 1 loan? If you make 4 Kiva loans, after a few months, you would have enough repaid to make another, so you might have loaned - Banzai! Dec 29, 12:32
        
        Perhaps that's from fluctuating currency exchange rates? -- nm - nubby Dec 29, 11:52
    - I'm not asking because I'm interested in profit. It simply struck me as a really sweet deal for the local banks. - Fuzzy Dec 29, 11:23 2
      - #OCCUPYBAMBOOSTREET -- nm - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 29, 11:52
      - Yeah, that was my sticking point for the longest time. We get nothing out of it, and the field partners get 20-35% on the money they lend. Kinda sketc - Banzai! Dec 29, 11:28
- As long as we're posting ST teams, if you're on Steam, there's on there as well -- (link) - oblique Dec 29, 11:00 1

  - ooooooooo! -- nm - the pub cat in Puss in Boots Dec 29, 12:00

  - just adding the creative ways I can frig up, "there, their, they're". -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 29, 12:12
is it just me, or have candy canes gotten smaller and crappier since I was a kid? -- nm - znufrii Dec 29, 10:57 10
- Foodchem replaced sugar with corn syrup and natural peppermint flavors with artificial and of course reduced the size so the total amount of ... - Blanc de Noirs methode zeitgeist Dec 29, 11:09 2
  - bery, how do i uninstall the Cynical Bastard app from my ST? -- nm - jingle pixie Dec 29, 11:10 1
    - By browsing to ilikeponies.com -- nm - Beryllium Dec 29, 11:12
- But despite what you believe, LEGOs have not gotten more expensive -- (link) - oblique Dec 29, 10:58 3
  - Apparently my parents must have spent a small fortune on them for me. - Krusty Dec 29, 11:27 2
    - I wonder how much the calculations are skewed because of all the small specialty bricks vs the large general bricks we had as kids -- nm - oblique Dec 29, 11:29 1
      - Hmm...good point. Thinking about it they might have bought a bunch at garage sales and flea markets, probably just a bunch of loose small bricks. - Krusty Dec 29, 11:41
- not just you. of course, a full candy cane is quite a time and sugar investment. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 10:58 1
  - *cuts tongue in half on candy cane shard* - oblique Dec 29, 10:59
- Yes. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 10:57
So after playing with my first smartphone for a couple of days... there is too much crap going on. I actually like my ipod touch more, it is way - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 10:55 30
- Also, Krusty or oblique or anyone, is there a way to backup all my settings in case something happens to the phone. It would suck having to set - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 11:12 1
  - Yes. The app I mentioned in my previous post, Titanium Backup, is the one I use. I have it set to run every Sunday morning. - Krusty Dec 29, 11:16
- There are Verizon versions of apps on my phone that I will never use and I don't think they can be uninstalled. -- nm - lileve Dec 29, 10:58 10
  - Exactly. WTF. (This isn't good for my OCD, I like things clean haha). I hid those apps but still annoying. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 10:59 9
    - same here, they really bug me. I don't need football. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 29, 11:23
    - You can get rid of anything if you root your phone. It's not difficult to do and will give you total control of your phone. -- nm - Krusty Dec 29, 11:08 5
      - I should sit down for a couple hours and do this. -- nm - loosi lou who Dec 29, 11:24 4
        
        This is the site I recommend to finding info about how to root your phone. - Krusty Dec 29, 11:31 3 1
        
        *for finding info* - Krusty Dec 29, 11:32
        
        thank you, that is super helpful. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 11:32 1
        
        No problem. :-) -- nm - Krusty Dec 29, 11:32
    - Should have gotten an iphone then! -- nm - Don Homer Dec 29, 11:00 1
      - I am thinking about that now... haha -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 11:00
- Don't use apps that kill apps. You generally use more battery killing and having them restart than letting them idle - oblique Dec 29, 10:58 6
  - There is a built-in app killer than I am using. But yeah... I want to limit the number of apps to just stuff I use. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 11:00 5
    - Like Kilbo said the app killers don't really work and can slow your phone down. The apps that are running in the background - Krusty Dec 29, 11:07 4
      - Rooting is like jailbreaking it? My ipod is jailbroken but I am not as ballsy about doing that to my phone yet. - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 11:09 3
        
        Same thing, yes. I rooted my phone a few hours after I got it. :-) I couldn't stand having those useless pre-installed apps. - Krusty Dec 29, 11:14 2
        
        Thanks! I will look into it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 11:17 1
        
        My pleasure. I love messing with my phones. - Krusty Dec 29, 11:22
- And the "free" programs that aren't a full version blow. Is having like 1/3 of the options really that good, juice defender? no. :/ -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 10:56 9
  - I love my free Juice Defender. It made a huge difference in my battery time. -- nm - pmb Dec 29, 11:14 8
    - Did it? Ok.. hmm. I guess I will keep it. Which setting are you using? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 11:16 7
      - I use it on "Aggressive". One thing it will do is shut down your gps, which I'm fine with. I just turn it on when I need it. -- nm - pmb Dec 29, 11:22 6
        
        another good way to do this is to get the toggle widgets from Curvefish. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 11:23 5
        
        I have them as well. That's what I use to turn on the gps again when I need it. I'm not sure what all juice defender otherwise does, but I swear my - pmb Dec 29, 11:29 4
        
        i may give it a shot; my battery life is horrendous. -- nm - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 11:32 3
        
        did you get an extended battery? it was really worth it. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 11:32 2
        
        no, it's rarely a problem; i have a charger at work too, so it's rare that it dies on me. - TFox, Vamp Champ Dec 29, 11:35 1
        
        I like to run GPS while I'm out for a walk, which can drain it pretty quick. -- nm - loosilu Dec 29, 11:39
Verizon! -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 29, 10:55 1
- charges you a $2 roll over fee -- nm - Verizon CS Dec 29, 12:58
