milk carton poll: do you think there are more/less missing children than back in the 80s and 90s when it seemed to be more prevalent? has technology - pixitude Apr 19, 11:05 5
- I don't think custody disputes were even considered 'missing' in those days, also far too many young teens were considered voluntary run aways when in - zeitgeist Apr 19, 11:11
- how can there be more, kids don't even go outside these days. -- nm - zork Apr 19, 11:08 1
  - The vast majority are abducted by people they know which means opportunity doesn't rely on the kid being outside. -- nm - TWuG Apr 19, 11:12

  - this -- nm - Beaker Apr 19, 11:08

  - Thank you. I'll read it as soon as the press conference is over. - David Apr 19, 11:06
I received very brief training in writing apps today. All I'll say is that Apple is totally and completely insane - prayformojo Apr 19, 10:58 6
- Things like this reaffirm my distaste for Apple. - TWuG Apr 19, 11:05 2
  - exactly. i can't believe that they got to the position that they're in, insisting on being so stupidly provincial about stuff like this -- nm - prayformojo Apr 19, 11:07 1
    - It shouldn't be much of a surprise. There entire history is built around controlling every aspect of their products. - TWuG Apr 19, 11:10

Former US District Attonrey calling for legalization (and taxation) of pot in Canada and the US -- (link) - Beaker Apr 19, 10:47 9
- I'm open to debate. But legalization is not the solution. - Drug Warrior-in-Chief Apr 19, 10:50 3
  - Why isn't legalization the solution? - Old Antarctic Explorer Apr 19, 11:15 2
    - I think it's a poor argument to say cigs and alcohol are legal even - TWuG Apr 19, 11:21 1
      - it's already functionally legal. there is almost no one who wants drugs who cannot get them without legal consequence anywhere -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 11:24
- I wonder if legalized & taxed pot could fund an entire healthcare system in the US? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 10:48 4
  - it's not about the money - pixitude Apr 19, 10:50 1
    - ~I was gonna vote, but then I got high~ -- nm - CrankYanker Apr 19, 11:05

    - Yup! -- nm - Old Antarctic Explorer Apr 19, 11:16

LIR: how does one redeem that Amazon MOMROCKS mp3 credit? I'm at a loss -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 19, 10:42 5
- Go to Amazon.com/mp3 and click the "Redeem a gift card or promotion code & view balance" link in the top right green box (make sure you're logged in) -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Apr 19, 10:54 4
  - Oh, that is... select an album or song or something. You want to get the "Buy MP3 song..." box. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Apr 19, 10:55 3
    - okay, but when I click "buy mp3" it doesn't give me any options, hmmm -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 19, 10:58 2
      - Don't click to buy. Click the "Redeem a gift card or promotion code..." link underneath the "Buy MP3..." and "Gift song as a gift" buttons. -- nm - Mop (196 lbs) Apr 19, 10:59 1
        
        gotchya thanks :) -- nm - CQ: Pressure Checker Apr 19, 11:11

- seriously, ffs. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 19, 10:53
- heh. -- (link) - zork Apr 19, 10:49
- It works better for the curvy folks (i.e. Portman, it doesn't work for ya), as it gives you a bit of both worlds -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 10:45 2
  - That's no moon ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 19, 10:46 1
    - ;) -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 10:48
- Please, this doesn't hold a candle to the "skinny arm" or "broken doll" -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 10:43
I don't care what you ask for, pixie. You get what I give, and you like it. (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 10:40 4

So, the legitimately smart corners and TEs, armed with this info, will intentionally tank the Wonderlic to improve their draft stock, right? (nm) - musubi Apr 19, 10:39 2

- "The mythological two-headed hound. Born with only.. one head!" -- nm - prayformojo Apr 19, 10:40
- to add two more -- nm - pixitude Apr 19, 10:40
- 1. With pictures!! 2. Why do these stories always seem to come out of that part of the world? -- nm - decline Apr 19, 10:39 4
  - I imagine in more developed nations these things are discovered while they're still in the womb. -- nm - Ender Apr 19, 10:47 1
    - and prenatal nutrition helps prevent it in the first place. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 10:51
  - Two factors: Way more babies, and far less prenatal care. -- nm - loosilu Apr 19, 10:47
  - Exactly what I was thinking. Seems to happen a lot, over there -- nm - flavorize Apr 19, 10:41
