it frustrates me so much when the mp3 version of a CD is more costly than the CD. it makes me want to illegally download the damn thing. -- nm - world's most beautiful creature Jul 24, 05:25 4

    - And now I am vaguely disappointed. -- nm - Other David Jul 23, 21:17 2
      - I just tried the same thing - hell, I even added the "nude" keyword. Is it possible there is no Rule 34 situation for this? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 23:39
      - like having watched Coneheads? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 21:18

See Vee Ess spokeman denies there is a quota for automatic refills, when there totally is. -- (link) - Tim Jul 23, 20:25 7

I wonder if I should submit proposals for a PHP conference in Toronto in November ... - Beryllium Jul 23, 20:21 11
- It's pretty much guaranteed to run smoother than my PCP conference did last spring. nm - Dignan Jul 24, 01:00
- tough to say. it won't be as cold, but it will be more humid. there's a conference I go to in Toronto in March sometimes, - mafic Jul 23, 21:25 7
  - What madman books conferences *anywhere* in the north in winter? -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 22:56 1
    - This is begging for a joke nick. - Beryllium Jul 23, 23:15
  - It was negative 17 and dry dry dry ... so maybe toronto would be better. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 21:30 4
    - judging from my recollection of Kingston, it'll probably be hovering around 5, and raining. -- nm - mafic Jul 23, 21:50 3

Not that anyone here cares a whole lot...but I think I had my best pull ever from a card box last night. - Jim Jul 23, 20:16 18
- cool -- nm - Beaker Jul 24, 03:40
- That's awesome - congratulations! - Jelly Jul 24, 02:54
- I wonder if pulls from packs of porn star cards would be called tugs -- nm - zork Jul 23, 21:22 3
  - No, they're called hits just like any other set. Though I doubt you'd get many swatches of clothing in that set. -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 21:25 2
    - but you're guaranteed at least five sticky cards per box -- nm - zork Jul 23, 21:26 1
      - just dont eat the gum -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 22:38
- relatedly, I've been collecting nonsport trading cards off and on for years, and I would have to say that ... - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 23, 21:07 1
  - Heck yeah it is! -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 21:17
- That whole IM makes about the same sense to me as kilbo's posts do sometimes. - JaxSean Jul 23, 20:18 9
  - Yeah, pretty much. The fact that it's actually selling for $300 is awesome...most cards "worth" $300, you're lucky to get $100 for it. -- nm - Jim Jul 23, 20:22 2
    - I also pulled a sweet mini card with a patch of match-worn clothing from Johnny McEnroe. - Jim Jul 23, 20:25 1

Vermin? - nubby Jul 23, 20:13
I like how Punk was conflicted there. -- nm - Tim Jul 23, 20:10 4
- Well that's one way to get the fans to boo him. -- nm - Tim Jul 23, 20:12 3
  - That's probably the only thing they could do, actually. - Tim Jul 23, 20:27 1
    - That was surprising. -- nm - Other David Jul 23, 20:40
  - PUNK!!! -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 20:14

- (I would be too scared to try this advice, and I'd remove the hard drive first) I hear that diet coke isn't as sticky as regular coke. Might be able - Beryllium Jul 23, 20:43 1
  - morning after status: it powers up halfway. i think it will be fine. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 24, 05:49
- Ouch. Add this to the reasons I have a desktop instead of a laptop. -- nm - The Dark Spawn Jul 23, 20:42 2
  - well an Ipad now as well -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 20:59 1
    - Eh, we have two Droid tabs in the house that are bigger and better. - The Dark Spawn Jul 23, 21:05
kelly, about the catfish. I'd wager reheating was not the culprit. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 23, 20:01 8
- yes, I know, you hate it. got it. :) -- nm - kelly Jul 23, 20:02 7
  - I know you accidentally got the catfish instead, but I love getting the talapia at Costco. - JaxSean Jul 23, 20:19 1
    - I love tilapia, and I find that I don't need much else on it - just a few seasonings - and it tastes delicious. - kelly Jul 23, 20:26
  - reheating catfish overcooks it. eating it cool is fine - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 23, 20:12 2
    - Catfish and Tartar Sauce. Yummy! -- nm - Bacon the Kook (because it matters) Jul 23, 20:14 1
      - I usually go with lime and some soy sauce. I missed Taste of Chicago this year and didn't get my usual helping of BJ's mustard fried catfish - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 23, 20:18
  - And on the diet thing...I'd stick with the tilapia. For me, catfish is really fishy tasting and battered and fried is the only way to go..but tilapia - Jim Jul 23, 20:03 1
    - It's real easy to fry on it's own and you can getrid of some ofthefat that way -- nm - the liioulu with carved wax Jul 23, 20:13
oh great. dumped diet coke on my laptop, now it won't boot uo. stuck on tje phone. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 23, 19:59 5

  - laptop is now completely dwad. -- nm - loosilu2 Jul 23, 20:02 3
    - But did you save some of the diet coke? - Bacon the Kook (because it matters) Jul 23, 20:13 2
      - oh sure, got plenty. not dumb enough to run out. - loosilu2 Jul 23, 20:21 1
        
        I have 2 20 packs and 3 12 packs in case of emergency Diet Coke Shortage. - Bacon the Kook (because it matters) Jul 23, 20:24
