  - In other news, roughly 70% of people polled think the sun rises in the east. -- nm - Ender May 15, 08:29
  - Duh -- nm - Ender May 15, 08:28
  - I think that's actually hard to argue with, since he's clearly collecting money from people who support SSM -- nm - con_carne May 15, 08:28
  - Isn't it something that this could even conceivably *be* for political reasons? -- nm - Reagen May 15, 08:28
  - That's so devious and calculating. Isn't that the republican wheelhouse? -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:23
  - It's almost like he's a politician -- nm - Guigue May 15, 08:21 1

LYC whine: I woke up this morning with a shoulder knot from hell. must have slept on it wrong or something. jesus. - loosilu May 15, 08:04 8
- Just confess you found a dude on bday had a wild night and thats how you got the knot -- nm - eag May 15, 08:24 1
  - oh honey, if I was gonna get an injury related to that, it would not be a knot. -- nm - loosilu May 15, 08:25
- I found that the corner of a door frame works best for those. Tennis balls never really get to the knots I get. -- nm - sycor May 15, 08:08 2
  - I've found a couple of videos on youtube for subscapularis stretches. seem to be helping a bit. -- nm - loosilu May 15, 08:10 1

curt schillings game studio maybe having money problems, has a meeting with official from rhode island about the $75 million loan - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 15, 07:57 4
- not maybe. this sounds huge according to our local paper, and people may get lynched on the state house loan over it. - TFox May 15, 08:12 3
  - (for context, i get the impression that the past weekend was the little state-level version of the Lehman bailout talks.) -- nm - TFox May 15, 08:14 2
    - that seems like an insane amount of money to move such a small game company. - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 15, 08:15 1
      - it was. we had this money set aside for lending to bring jobs in, and i guess there were very few takers, or something. - TFox May 15, 08:17

  - Nice. (possible reply: "oh, we thought that was the furnace". I mean, it looks somewhat nondescript, right? :) ) -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:27
- And each one of those little film developing huts with the yellow roofs? Missile silo. -- nm - bc/nc May 15, 08:09 1

do you want to see the entire prometheus landing sequence from the movie? -- (link) - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 15, 07:55
So, this morning I spilled about a half-litre of milk on the floor. *cries* - Beryllium May 15, 07:51 10
- your flooring should be able to handle a spill. -- nm - Andie May 15, 07:53 9
  - Yeah, Bery what are you thinking! -- nm - con_carne May 15, 08:02 5
    - I'm thinking this means I should buy a new house. - Beryllium May 15, 08:04 4
      - The day I broke my last cupholder in my old car was when I started thinking I should get a new car. -- nm - loosilu May 15, 08:05 3
        
        A car isn't a car without cup holders. That's why I don't own a Bugatti Veyron. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:06 2
        
        veyron has a cup holder. -- nm - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 15, 08:14 1
        
        Dammit, now I have to use my fallback excuse. - Beryllium May 15, 08:16
  - ... installed by the previous homeowner. I don't trust that it's as tightly locked as it should be. :| -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:55 2
    - Ouch -- nm - amoxy May 15, 07:56 1
      - I hit it hard and fast with paper towels, that should fix it. I hope. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:57
Cavaliers guard Kyrie Irving is the NBA's Rookie of the Year -- nm - Beaker May 15, 07:40 4
- I dont understand the process where every single NBA award leaks the day before. Just announce it. -- nm - volnelk May 15, 07:56 1
  - They're taking a cue from politics. It's the announcement before the announcement! -- nm - con_carne May 15, 07:58
- [deleted]
- *Leaves City and moves to Miami* -- nm - Kyrie Irving May 15, 07:50
It is May 15. The projected high today is 29. -- nm - Reagen May 15, 07:40 2

half of americans think facebook is just a passing fad -- (link) - znufrii May 15, 07:33 25
- I don't think social networking is a passing fad, but it would not surprise me if something new comes along and does to facebook what facebook did to - pmb May 15, 07:37 24
  - CrAzY LikE A pINeApPLe! -- nm - oblique May 15, 07:41
  - agreed. remember when myspace was ubiquitous. It can happen to FB. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:38 22
    - i think it will take a while and i think it will take a jump in technology, but i think, yes, someday it will be outdated. - Andie May 15, 07:40 21
      - The thing is...Myspace never saw FB coming. - Mel Profit May 15, 07:44 18
        
        i don't play the games anymore (i only ever scrabbled) but Facebook was just cleaner and nicer looking to me. i never really 'got' myspace. -- nm - Andie May 15, 07:48 3
        
        MySpace was always futt bugly. That made it unapproachable. - Beryllium May 15, 07:50 2
        
        To you... - Mel Profit May 15, 07:53 1
        
        Yes, MySpace was full of self-involved teens with a fast and loose grasp of style and aesthetic. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:00
        
        I'm so in love with Tumblr right now, I want to kick FB to the curb -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 07:45 13
        
        This is again where I feel old. My daughter loves Tumblr and I don't even really get what it is. -- nm - pmb May 15, 07:47 12
        
        one of the greatest things is the format - the new stuff is on the top - ALWAYS, I don't have to reset it. I don't have to worry that it's being filte - Epiphany May 15, 08:11 4
        
        I've learned to accept that FB is only going to show me what it thinks I should see. - Mel Profit May 15, 08:13 3
        
        yes that infuriates me - I missed that my 1st boyfriend had a stroke - I was pissed. unforgiveable in my book -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:22 2
        
        I could see this being a big issue. - Mel Profit May 15, 08:26 1
        
        I totally agree - it takes a smarter/younger person than me to figure out the in/outs to make FB run like I want it to -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:48
        
        It always struck me as just a blog platform -- nm - oblique May 15, 07:49 5
        
        The emphasis on media and reblogging takes it up a notch from the traditional blog -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:52 4
        
        "Reblogging." Is that like retweeting? -- nm - con_carne May 15, 07:53 3
        
        Yes. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:01 2
        
        but somehow less obnoxious. If they have ads, I haven't noticed any -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 08:12 1
        
        What I like is their implementation of the "MT" concept (modified tweet) - Beryllium May 15, 08:15
        
        It's like a more social version of blogger/blogspot/wordpress -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:48
      - I absolutely agree. I think the tech will need to be mature by a bit. - Mel Profit May 15, 07:42 1
        
        and I misread your post. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:43

    - *files under Sensationalist News Articles A Child Born Today Will Still Have To Deal With"* -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:08
    - I think this is correct. -- nm - loosilu May 15, 08:06
- Things he's way off on: company deskphones aren't going away in ten years, movies theatres, remote controls, desktops, and mice. optical discs. -- nm - Inigo May 15, 07:42
- He's a bit Brave New World. Lots of those things will stick around. - Reagen May 15, 07:35 2
  - I've often thought "why would I.." for motion/voice controlled TV, but I've been pondering it lately - Beryllium May 15, 08:21
  - Imagine our parents in 20 years trying to turn to the latest Murder She Wrote rerun. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:39
heh, diablo 3 appears to have a game breaking bug, all related to a follower and their shield. -- (link) - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 15, 07:29 2
- Interesting. Never had that issue in the beta. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 15, 07:56
- Wonder how long it will take for someone to find the cow level? -- nm - Strongbad May 15, 07:33
Scheduling a public meeting with 1 week notice should be grounds for tarring & feathering. -- nm - Strongbad May 15, 07:27
Did somebody here recently mention MS Internet Explorer suddenly not working properly? -- nm - mara May 15, 07:26 1
- Suddenly, in 1996. Never recovered. /cheeky -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:27

- that's a Litacurana! That person who performed that clearly watches to much wrestling -- nm - Remlik May 15, 08:07
- alternately, this is what happens when you cut Chun in the drink line... -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:55 2
  - You don't cut Chun - Chun cuts you. -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:56 1
    - if all she does is cut you, she's in a good mood. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 08:01
- I was worried about his neck, but I see that she has control of his arm, so he's fine -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 07:54
- "I don't know what just happened, but I liked it." -- nm - Reagen May 15, 07:27 2
  - (If you look closely, he's clearly helping her up) -- nm - Reagen May 15, 07:29 1
    - Yeah, he springs up to lift her. Probably a clip from a technique demonstration rather than an actual competition sequence. Amazing nonetheless. :) -- nm - Beryllium May 15, 08:03
- That's essentially a pro wrestling hurakanrana. Have you seen this guy's "flying squirrel" move? He's on the USA olympic team. -- (link) - pmb May 15, 07:20 [youtube]
- I hope that's real because that's stunning. -- nm - Mel Profit May 15, 07:19
So I've decided to kick up my philanthropy and make one $25 Kiva loan a month. - nubby May 15, 07:09 8

- you are a good man Nubby Brown -- nm - Epiphany May 15, 07:45
- one of these days I'll actually get around to funding something. -- nm - znufrii May 15, 07:19 1
  - it takes 2 minutes! -- (link) - Andie May 15, 07:25
- Maybe loan to 20 different countries? - Banzai! May 15, 07:16 3
  - It seems that we are limited in the types of goals we can set. # members, # loans, # unique loans, $ donated. -- nm - nubby May 15, 07:18 2
    - What comprises a "unique" loan? Just ones that we each invest in? - Banzai! May 15, 07:28 1
      - You can see what loans other members have made and piggyback on them (I just did) -- nm - Roger More May 15, 07:30
The bizarre case of Paige Sultzbach � and the all-boys team that forfeited a championship rather than play against her -- (link) - Beaker May 15, 07:08 5
- I think every team in the league should have a girl on their team. Let's see what they do then. -- nm - Krusty May 15, 07:55
- unrelated (possibly) to that article, i love the "conspiracy" talk because during the teams two regular season matchups, she was taken from the lineup - tRuMaN (insane, possibly) May 15, 07:17 3
  - they did it to be nice, she was the team's starting 2B; Championship games don't equate to the regular season -- nm - Beaker May 15, 07:20
  - based on the story, their "leader" seems to have alot of conspiracy theories... -- nm - Beaker May 15, 07:19
  - right... -- nm - znufrii May 15, 07:18
Repost: Diablo 3 (or other Blizzard) gamers, add your Battle.net Battletag to the HSXTT Wiki -- (link) - oblique May 15, 07:06 12
- [deleted] 11
  - That's a silly Battle.net Battletag. - nubby May 15, 07:12 8
    - It's no more silly than say, IPTAY -- nm - Strongbad May 15, 07:17 2
      - Today, it would be more accurately called IPFHAY. - nubby May 15, 07:19 1
