I'm glad I don't work at Amazon managing their review department. Just reading the crap people post about free apps every day is driving me crazy - oblique Feb 13, 09:24 3
- superman? -- nm - sycor Feb 13, 09:27 2

Confession: Whitney's death does not matter to me. She fell off my radar decades ago. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 09:16 15
- to me it's the tragedy of her whole wasted/life talent that culminated this way. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 09:18 12
  - this. She was the church singer, innocent, relative of Dionne Warwick, with Aretha Franklin in the mix also. She couldn't fail....but did, horribly. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 09:25
  - Exactly. I had hoped there was another chapter or two still coming. -- (link) - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:22
  - the same road that lindsay lohan is drunkenly driving down, right? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:20 9
    - To a substantially lesser degree. Lilo never hit the heights of Whitney. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Feb 13, 09:28
    - The most recent Lindsay post at the d makes me so sad. It humanizes her downfall somehow in a way I hadn't considered it previously. -- nm - instagrAmanda Feb 13, 09:23
    - yeah, except Lilo was more relevent recently than Whitney was. nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 09:21 6
      - relevant maybe, talented, no. - Andie Feb 13, 09:28 3
        
        I agree, but it has been what, 20 years since she did anything? nm -- nm - groiny Feb 13, 09:32 2
        
        I think her kid is 18 -- nm - oblique Feb 13, 09:32
        
        probably close. doesn't mean it wasn't all a terrible waste. -- nm - Andie Feb 13, 09:32
      - well, I just mean that they're on the same trajectory. tragictory? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:23 1
        
        I like tragictory. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:25

- That these two are a couple will never fail to crack me up -- (link) - Reagen Feb 13, 09:22 [Image]
- Melissa George looked the best - and I don't know why it happened to me - but George went from " fione" to looking like a grandpa - over night -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 09:19 2
  - Melissa looks amazing. -- nm - LMS Feb 13, 09:22 1
    - She always does. -- nm - Todd Manning Feb 13, 09:25
- part of that is lighting, but Tilda looks like Lady Gollum there. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 09:15 5
  - Tilda looked great on the TV coverage, these shots don't do much for her. -- nm - LMS Feb 13, 09:19

CBC launching digital music service -- (link) - Beaker Feb 13, 09:05 1
- Weird. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:26
hmm, apparently today I'm arguing with DoubleDown on twitter over the meaning of the final scene of Walking Dead last night. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:02 9
- Whatever is the most painfully obvious interpretation is what they meant. -- nm - David Feb 13, 09:05 1
  - Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:06
- okay start that mess up here so we can argue with you as well. What do you think it meant? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 09:03 6
  - spoils - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:04 3
    - I wonder though * spoil speculation* - Epiphany Feb 13, 09:08 2
      - spoils - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:11 1

    - *spoils on scene* - Epiphany Feb 13, 09:14

So was Dave Grohl really taking a shot at electronic music last night or just clumsily talking up traditional instruments? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 13, 08:57 7
- I thought he was going after the formulaic top 40 stuff. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:01 4
  - I don't get this type of opinion - Black Keys too - so it's not your type of music? are you enjoying what you are putting out? - Epiphany Feb 13, 09:05 3
    - Uh, they are not really "their own kind". -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:14 2
      - so the argument is - we play instruments and you over there - use a studio sound system? -- nm - Epiphany Feb 13, 09:21 1
        
        There is a lot more to it. Doing the time. Passion. Etc. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:24
- seems to me he was taking a shot at the cookie cutter music on Top 40... -- nm - Remlik Feb 13, 09:00
- It seems shortsighted to do so anyway. Synths were all the rage in the 80s, then the 90s happened. - TFox Feb 13, 08:59
So I think my favorite Whitney song is "I have nothing" -- nm - eag Feb 13, 08:56 14
- "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", more for personal reasons than the song itself. - kelly Feb 13, 09:09 1
  - that's a great memory. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 13, 09:31

  - I wasn't a huge fan, but that's probably my favorite of her songs. (I'll have to check that out later; no audio at work.) -- nm - Don Homer Feb 13, 09:12
  - Still annoyed by the Every Breath You Take riff rip off late in the song. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:04
- Not a big fan but her I Will Always Love You remake is unbeatable. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:02 3
  - It was one of those songs that got overplayed alot at the time -- nm - eag Feb 13, 09:03 2
    - Yeah, that happens, still great. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:04 1
      - agreed. It's an amazing performance. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 13, 09:06
- One Moment in Time -- nm - ceregon Feb 13, 08:59
Not that I am the arbiter of all things hip-hop, but here's what from the last 5 years of rap has a spot on my iPod: - TFox Feb 13, 08:55 2

- No Soulja Boy? - MDH Feb 13, 09:04

Ah! you may have seen those "what X thinks I do" images on the web. I made one for video editor that's making the rounds, my mom just commented! - Guigue Feb 13, 08:52
Argh, yeah, I mean median on that per capita question. I might never memorize this. -- nm - mara Feb 13, 08:51 2
- per capita is per person, the other measure is usually per househould - ceregon Feb 13, 08:56
- And BTW, LYC, I am coming to absolutely love the new American Fact Finder inferface at census.gov -- nm - mara Feb 13, 08:52
I know nobody knows about this or cares, but I think my pinky is going to be okay. - the amanda nones Feb 13, 08:50 18
- i'm sorry that happened to you, but please do not post about it in detail again. - TFox Feb 13, 08:57 7
  - t could have been worse. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 09:12
  - oh hell no. I normally don't post "woe is me" shit because, hi, I don't play that part here! here I'm the happy airhead. - the amanda nones Feb 13, 08:59 5
    - I did something similar to a toenail once ... but it wasn't the nail bed, it was just the nail itself. It bled and bled and bled and - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:14 3
      - but HERE is the TMI on that (seriously, don't read) - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:16 2
        
        I had several toenails fall off as a kid. My big left toe lost it twice. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 13, 09:18 1
        
        Hopefully due to some specific injury, and not randomly. :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 13, 09:19
    - maybe you can just [grossness redacted] the shivery stuff. - TFox Feb 13, 09:00
- instagram link? -- nm - Don Homer Feb 13, 08:51 1
  - max asked last night. no way. my boss told me that I'm not allowed to come to work without a bandaid on my finger for two weeks. - the amanda nones Feb 13, 08:56
- gah! - znufrii Feb 13, 08:50 7
  - also, nmbrp for mandy -- (link) - znufrii Feb 13, 08:55 6
    - that's a nice house. but how will you live without a porch? -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 08:57 5
      - I don't know, but I'm prepared to try and make that sacrifice - znufrii Feb 13, 08:59 4
        
        do you have a factsheet? I'd be curious to see room sizes. (it has nice curb appeal. except no porch.) -- nm - the amanda nones Feb 13, 08:59 3
        
        no measurements, alas. - znufrii Feb 13, 09:05 2

  - Catching up, I have none so far. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 12:22
- i have it, upgraded to legendary, with two enchantments - tRuMaN Feb 13, 08:49 5
  - Question. I am at level 90 enchanting, so I am nearly there. - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 08:54 4
    - you have to do them both at the same time. - groiny Feb 13, 08:55 2
      - Thanks. I figued. I have a trunk full of stuff that I am "saving" for double enchantments. -- nm - Spawn - The Blood Feud God Feb 13, 08:58 1

      - well, you will only get to what, level 81? - groiny Feb 13, 08:57 4
        
        true, but the only way to get to level 81 is to max all skills to 100 - tRuMaN Feb 13, 08:59 3
        
        I don't see why that's so weird - that's like every skill tree game ever. -- nm - Reagen Feb 13, 09:04 1
        
        true. it just seems that 81 is an odd choice. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 13, 09:08
        
        expansion pack will fix that I bet or dlc -- nm - Beaker Feb 13, 09:02
