- 'encouraging the state to investigate' sounds encouraging. - Dr.Vermin May 30, 13:16 3
  - Different circumstances between the two. Lisa didn't fail at the basic requirement to get on the ballot - Will Hunting May 30, 13:21 1
    - Thanks. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 30, 13:24
  - I once had a biology project due where I was supposed to capture 30 bugs, name them and 4discuss them. - David, neutral May 30, 13:20

6 year-old youngest in National Spelling Bee history... -- (link) - Don Homer May 30, 13:01
looks like Geoff Tate and Queensryche may be parting ways -- (link) - Remlik May 30, 12:59 26
- I think Empire may be the only album I know by them. And I do like it. I should look deeper into their stuff. -- nm - sycor May 30, 13:22
- I'll say this, the cover of Queen of the Ryche on there...dude does a pretty good Tate impression. But still not the same. -- nm - Jim May 30, 13:05 1
  - She's coming for you! -- nm - con_carne May 30, 13:10
- Whatever. Journey still tours, but without Steve Perry, they're little more than a cover band. -- nm - Jim May 30, 13:02 18
  - Foreigner tours with only the guitarist in the band. Yes tours with Jon Anderson -- nm - Remlik May 30, 13:04 17
    - Yep. And are any originals touring as Styx anymore? -- nm - Jim May 30, 13:04 16
      - Tommy Shaw, JY and Chuck Panozzo (as health allows) are still touring. - Kim Pine May 30, 13:07 14
        
        And from what we saw of their live performance during some ice skating show, they are *terrible* now. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 13:09 9
        
        saw them 6 years ago with David Le Roth and they were quite good -- nm - Remlik May 30, 13:19
        
        At least two things are wrong with this sentence -- nm - con_carne May 30, 13:10 1

        Smuckers on Ice! - Mel Profit May 30, 13:10 5
        
        It wasn't. I'm pretty confident the sound was terrible and they were forced to condense songs to brief versions. - Kim Pine May 30, 13:12 4
        
        Not liking Styx is fine. I mean they have 1 or 2 great songs but they should be tarred and feathered otherwise. - Mel Profit May 30, 13:34
        
        How does one not like Styx? I mean, sure. Kilroy Was Here was pretty frickin dorky...but that doesn't discount everything they did before that. - Jim May 30, 13:14 1
        
        In my defense, I've seen them in concert. That sealed the deal. - David, neutral May 30, 13:16
        
        Styx Apologist says what? -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 13:14
        
        Wow. Didn't know Tommy still played with them. Also didn't know John Panozzo died. Bummer. -- nm - Jim May 30, 13:07 3
        
        the Behind the Music with them is interesting. -- nm - Remlik May 30, 13:08 2
        
        Are those online somewhere? -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 13:09 1
        
        try the VH1classic site. -- nm - Remlik May 30, 13:15
      - yeah. Tommy and a couple of others. -- nm - Remlik May 30, 13:05

    - how many of those major univ lectures in a huge auditorium and/or a taped lecture, or read by a grad student? -- nm - zeitgeist May 30, 13:22
    - Exactly. This technology is providing live learning "in person", remotely. - Dr.Vermin May 30, 13:04 4
      - I'm pretty sure we've had this exact conversation before, but there's a lot of recognized value in people going to a place of learning - Reagen May 30, 13:10 3
        
        Even so, I love that top tier universities are offering free online classes now. - David, neutral May 30, 13:22 1
        
        I'm certainly not against the idea. I think it's an add-on rather than a replacement, though. - Reagen May 30, 13:25
        
        We have. I remain optimistic. -- nm - Dr.Vermin May 30, 13:17
    - tell me about it. -- nm - znufrii May 30, 13:03
- Oh man, I built a system that did 40% of what that one does ... ten years ago. :( -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 12:59 3
  - A) You need to work on following through. B) You need me to be your business manager. -- nm - David, neutral May 30, 13:00 2
    - I built it for a non-profit organization that never really ran with it, so it died on the vine. -- nm - Beryllium May 30, 13:16
    - and he needs someone to keep him on task. -- nm - Remlik May 30, 13:03

  - so how have you liked that series? -- nm - tRuMaN ( monkey CPA ) May 30, 12:42 2
    - I think the third was probably my favorite. It's at its best when it's not spending 250 pages on a single battle. -- nm - Ender May 30, 12:45 1

  - [deleted]
  - but enough about JackDawson...he's not running for president any time soon, anyway... -- nm - znufrii May 30, 12:52 11
    - though I think it's telling that you spend all your effort railing against how his remarks are characterized, rather than the substance thereof. - znufrii May 30, 12:54 10
      - "It's a silly argument. Full stop" covers the substance pretty well. -- nm - Roger More, future Prime Minister of Canada May 30, 13:00 6
        
        pretty much. -- nm - znufrii May 30, 13:02 5
