New Yorkers, feedback on the Henry Hudson Hotel, and the Eventi Hotel? -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Feb 7, 08:49 6
- *shrug* I don't stay in the hotels, I live here. :-) - Krusty Feb 7, 08:57
- Yeah, the reviews for the Hudson are horrendous. Location is nice, but not worth the trouble. -- nm - Mop (194 lbs) Feb 7, 08:56
- My two trips to NYC have stayed at the Hudson - JD Feb 7, 08:56
- I've only been in the former, the room was tiny, but fairly well appointed. -- nm - znufrii Feb 7, 08:51 2
  - me as well. Manager stayed at Eventi. She said it was nice. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 08:53

Uh, I looked for something totally SFW on Google videos, and apparently pornhub dot com is now indexed... Great... -- nm - Guigue Feb 7, 08:48 4
- What's "indexed" mean? -- nm - con_carne Feb 7, 08:50 3
  - Means Google has added its content to its search results. Probably can be filtered out by selecting "Moderate" on "SafeSearch" at the top right - TWuG Feb 7, 08:55
  - basically, that google knows about it and will include it in search results -- nm - prayformojo Feb 7, 08:54 1
    - I searched "Tiny birds fake" to see videos from the Tiny wings ripoff, apparently it found a lot of NSFW stuff for "fake"... -- nm - Guigue Feb 7, 08:55

  - haha, just wait, you'll get there too. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:42 10
    - I actually hope so, 'cause at 44, it is going the wrong way. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:43 9
      - I'm at the age where I no longer worry about work/employment and I don't have any medical problems yet. I sleep like a baby. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:45 2
        
        My natural clock has always been to sleep from 5am to 11am. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:47 1
        
        My career for the last 33 years has broken my natural clock. Up at 3am one day, get home at 3am the next day. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:49
      - damn Skyrim. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:45 5
        
        Yeah, it is a good part of that. The Thieves Guild storyline really has me enjoying it. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:46 4
        
        I'm doing that one now as well. But just got sidetracked doing something else. - Krusty Feb 7, 08:51 1
        
        Like everything in the game, there is an overriding storyline. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:59
        
        I have done a couple of the missions in it, but got sidetracked. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 7, 08:47 1
        
        It really takes off (more so than I expected). -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:58
TV tonight: The River, New Girl, Raising Hope, Justified -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 08:38
Apple kills thousand of fake apps. My question is, if Apple is so stringent in their app store policies, how do these apps get there at all? -- (link) - oblique Feb 7, 08:37 5
- I've used their arbitrary enforcement as an excuse to not make iPhone apps at all ... - Beryllium Feb 7, 08:41 2
  - Judging by how much I play Temple Run, it doesn't have to be that nifty of a concept at all -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:42 1
    - That's probably true, but I only have about 3 to 5 hours a week for hobby coding right now, and that's only if I even have the energy. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 08:45
- They're a lot less stringent than some people think. Not likely they can thoroughly review everything. - Don Homer Feb 7, 08:41
- bribes probably. or Chinese factory workers. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 7, 08:38
Holy crap. Look at this picture of a whale shark caught off Pakistan. This looks like a Syfy movie. -- (link) - pmb Feb 7, 08:37 2
- Do I have to link you to a picture of a house cat the size of a sofa now? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:38 1
  - Please do. Then I can picture the movie Sharkenstein v. Catzilla. -- nm - pmb Feb 7, 08:40
from b2: It appears this app is from Leadbolt (advertising). They put a "Top Apps" icon on my desktop that pushes ads. - loosilu Feb 7, 08:37
Me love Pete Hoekstra long time! -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:33
If I'd only use a kindle to read e-books, which kindle (or other reader) should I get? PINO -- nm - ceregon Feb 7, 08:29 23
- Cnet's round-up from November -- (link) - mara Feb 7, 08:31 1
  - thanks -- nm - ceregon Feb 7, 08:55
- A Kindle Touch or a Sony PRS-T1. nm - Dignan Feb 7, 08:31
- the cheapest one. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 7, 08:31 10
  - this. non-touch with ads -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:33 9
    - if price is no object why not get no ads? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:34 7
      - Actually, the ads can save you money, they offer discounts on books and audio books. -- nm - Ender Feb 7, 08:45
      - By that reasoning he should get an iPad :) -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:34 5
        
        for reading ebooks? disagree. eink is the way to go for ebooks. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:35 4
        
        definitely. I would not enjoy reading a book on an LCD screen. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:36
        
        Both! -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:35 2
        
        i will probably get an ipad in the future as well, but wouldn't use it to read (heard a lot of the LED vs e-ink stuff) -- nm - ceregon Feb 7, 08:48
        
        well, yes. I have both. they serve completely different uses. -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:36
    - non-touch food? agreed. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:33
- most people here have kindles and love them. andrea, dignan, and I have sonys and love them. ?? what car should I buy? which dude should I date? - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:30 8
  - you should drive Newton and date Max - Epiphany Feb 7, 08:50
  - i know what car i want and don't want to date anybody right now. there are many different models of e-readers and i'm not familiar with any of them -- nm - ceregon Feb 7, 08:47
  - I also have a Sony. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:31 5
    - and love it? (sorry, I wasn't informed. frankly, I blame you.) -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:33 4
      - I wouldn't say I'm *in* love with it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:36 3
        
        you just want to take it to bed and do bad things with it. -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 08:43
        
        which do you have? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:39 1
        
        I don't remember off-hand. It's about two years old now. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:40
thanks spawn. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 7, 08:28 2
- Yeah, I had the slowbaots set to arrive there in less than 3 hours, but turned them around and ended the occupation. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:29 1
  - Thanks. - Mel Profit Feb 7, 08:32

- I was quite tempted by previous versions, Darth Tater and Inidian Jones/Taters of the Lost Ark. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 7, 08:36 1
  - i have the darth tater. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 7, 08:38
Pardon my rant but replacing the entire staff is the most effed up idea ever....for several reasons. - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:27 14
- It's definitely an unusual move, especially in the middle of a year. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 7, 08:34
- Maybe I didn't read the article close enough but wasn't that a temporary move during the investigation? -- nm - oblique Feb 7, 08:34 2
  - Yes. And until they talk to everyone, they don't know who knew or was complicit and who wasn't. - TFox Feb 7, 08:37 1
    - (I feel this way as well.) -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:55
- Administrators want to be seen as doing something. If they were being smart, they'd replace the school's principal. - Mop Feb 7, 08:31 1
  - Not really, he came in just last year. The accusations started and he immediately put the teacher on leave, then fired him. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:36
- What are the parents at the existing school going to say? Well, he/she is tainted; I'm not letting my child in their classroom. - the amanda nones Feb 7, 08:28 7
  - So you pick the method that least affects the children. Leave their good teachers in place, they have a bond with them. Don't eff up a 10/20/30 - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:34
  - It's odd to me that they're replacing all teachers *and* putting a social worker in each room. Seems like if you're going to do the latter, you don't - mara Feb 7, 08:34 1
    - this -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 7, 08:35
  - Let's bring in a bunch of strangers. That's the ticket! -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:32
  - They nead to tear the place down and rebuild it. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:32
  - You're not really in another teacher's classroom as a teacher that often but on some level I don't know how you *don't* know there's something screwed - Reagen Feb 7, 08:31 1
    - agreed. -- nm - TFox Feb 7, 08:33

Freaking endless war on Ika. We've been at war for months. Fortunately, on the homefront, it's barely noticeable. -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 08:24 2

- this was entirely the point... - Mel Profit Feb 7, 08:27
FWIW, the recent adaptation of Bird Song was excellent, it's coming to PBS in April. -- nm - LMS Feb 7, 08:24 1

    - One is real, one is fake. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:39 4
      - Wait, which one do *you* think is fake? -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 08:44 2
        
        No comment. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:47
        
        she could use some enhancing. I'm just sayin -- nm - Epiphany Feb 7, 08:46

    - this is between me and my wife. - Mel Profit Feb 7, 08:49
  - I don't see the disconnect. - TFox Feb 7, 08:32 1
    - Yeah, but that is because of the things you did to it with the way the game ended. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:33
  - Can't you see these double standards are tearing us apart? -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:31
- [deleted] 15
  - you can have Cap Am and Hawkeye. I think Hawk plays for your team anyway. - Diva Feb 7, 08:36 13

        See below. I htink I'm being more than fair. - Diva Feb 7, 08:49
        
        I think that hammer every weekend might be too much. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:48
        
        Yes and no. You are selling him one that he already gets! -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 7, 08:45 3
        
        and I'll throw in a drunken Scar Jo doing strip club karaoke in Vegas with Chun. -- nm - Diva Feb 7, 08:48 1
