Margaret Sullivan, the NYT Public Editor, to hold Twitter 'office hours' from Noon-1 ET tonight. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 08:18
this is kind of a cute house. -- (link) - amanda Nov 19, 08:06 28
- Interesting color pallet used on the carpeting. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:14 7
  - and the kitchen is pretty horrible for *most* people. but perfect for me. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:15 6
    - I actually like the kitchen if it was in good shape. - spamlet Nov 19, 08:19 4
      - I heard a stst that the average woman spends over 6 years of her life in the kitchen. So on that one, we should let them win. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:24 3
        
        *snort* -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 08:30
        
        I'm not average, yo! -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:26
        
        Oh, she'd win. I'd just negotiate to keep certain features (like the tile). -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 08:26
    - Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:16
- why the hell is that site blocked? -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 08:12 6
  - There's an autoplay video. Maybe that tripped something? -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 08:17
  - try this -- (link) - amanda Nov 19, 08:14 3
    - nice - seems really spacious. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 08:17 2
      - it's kind of far -- (link) - amanda Nov 19, 08:19 1
        
        And right near an airport. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 08:19
  - I got "Potentially damaging content" -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 08:12
- seriously cute. weird dining room placement, though. looks like it's right by the front door? -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 08:11 4
  - that's fairly common around here. it's just a question of furniture placement really. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:13 3
    - love the kitchen, esp. the vintage electric range -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 08:15 2
      - ha ha. see above. brian: have you ever *been* in a functional kitchen?? -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:15 1
        
        hah! - znufrii Nov 19, 08:17
- that is a lot of grass to mow. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 08:08 7
  - obviously I'd get a boyfriend to do that. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:09 6
    - what is the grass-cutting equivalent of a Pool Boy? - Andie Nov 19, 08:11 3
      - don't you remember the first season of Desperate Housewives? -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 08:12 2
        
        no. (never watched.) -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 08:13 1
        
        ah. Eva Longoria was banging the gardener. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 08:17
    - oh right, like you could get a man -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 08:11 1
      - I know. maybe I'd get a manly chick. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 08:13
sitwap: Psy can now go home....his performance from the AMA's....with a guest star... -- (link) - You Only Remlik Twice Nov 19, 07:58 [youtube] 15
- I loved Eric Broadstreet's face " What is happening?!" - also who is the blonde with glasses in the audience? - Pippygalore Nov 19, 08:23 2
  - I think I know who the blonde with glasses is. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 19, 08:30
  - Who is the brunette at about 2:20 is what I want to know? - Spawn Nov 19, 08:25
- I'm surprised you can still find those pants. - Trish Nov 19, 08:17 1
  - I need this fashion trend to die out faster than Lilo hits a crack pipe. Bieber had those saggy diaper pants on in PUBLIC - Pippygalore Nov 19, 08:25
- I am impressed at how he's managed to turn the 2010's Macarena into this. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 08:10 6
  - This easily eclipses that. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:13 5
    - I dunno, that song was #1 for like 15 weeks in a row. It, too, had white people thinking they could dance. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 19, 08:16 4
      - Macrena was about as much dance as the hokey-pokey. This at least, has moves. Better music, as well. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:17 3
        
        Right...white people could do it! This is all about the hoppy hoppy wrist thingy. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 08:28 2
        
        Can I just say, I'm all for this 10HAT quote renaissance on ST. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 08:36 1
        
        seconded. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 08:38
- made of win. -- nm - loosilu Nov 19, 08:08
- surprised hammer can still dance. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 19, 08:07
- kick butt -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 08:05
Speaking of phone OS upgrades, did Mop ever get his Jellybean upgrade or whatever he wanted? -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:56 1
- gummy bears -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 19, 07:58
Weekend Movie Poll: Trust - B-, The Hunter - B, Skyfall (again) - A-. -- nm - LMS Nov 19, 07:48 20
- Brave - B-/C+; Humpday - C-. -- nm - kelly Nov 19, 08:31
- I agree on the A- for Skyfall. (spoils) - Roger More Nov 19, 08:16 7
  - Spoilers - LMS Nov 19, 08:21 2
    - sure, but... (spoils) - Roger More Nov 19, 08:25 1
      - Spoilers - LMS Nov 19, 08:37
  - I agree with 90% of that (spoiler) - Guigue Nov 19, 08:19 3
    - spoils - Roger More Nov 19, 08:22 2
      - (spoilers) - Guigue Nov 19, 08:27 1
        
        They really needed a cameo from Sir Basil Exposition -- nm - Roger More Nov 19, 08:29
- Project Nim: A, Skyfall: B -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 07:58 7
  - +100 LMS points for giving our of my films an A. -- nm - LMS Nov 19, 08:03 5
    - It's amazing how it managed to have good guys, villains, heroes, victims, etc, all in a biographical documentary -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 08:06 4
      - and cat humping. -- nm - LMS Nov 19, 08:07 2
        
        I was hoping they'd say what happened to the poor cat before the end credits... -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 08:09 1
        
        If only the cat knew sign language... -- nm - LMS Nov 19, 08:25
      - (And congrats! I rented it because I heard a lot about it from here, mostly because of you) -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 08:07
  - Oh and Haywire: C+ -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 08:01
- Skyfall: B/B+ -- nm - prayformojo Nov 19, 07:56
- Anna Karenina: C -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:54
- finished S1 of Downton Abbey, A- -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 07:49
My iPhone 3GS is getting ready to give up the ghost. Convince me ST: iPhone 5 or Samsung Galaxy thingamajig. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:47 29
- Normally I advise people to go where their apps/music/video purchases are although that is a line that is further blurred now - oblique Nov 19, 08:27
- There's quite a few Galaxy S3 deals on Black Friday. (Target has it for $79 on AT&T, $99 on Sprint, I think) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 19, 08:21 1
  - And my argument for: cheaper, but works just as good or better. Plus, since it's android, the Google apps are extremely seamless. - JaxSean Nov 19, 08:23
- my 4s is *thisclose* to losing its button. I'm trying to make it last till may (renew). - amanda Nov 19, 07:54 2
  - I realized how to fix this the day after we ordered the 4ses. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:55 1
    - This is what my fiance does. Open Settings >> General >> Accessibility >> AssistiveTouch >> "On" -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:58
- You'll have to rebuy accessories either way. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:50 11
  - I have no accessories really. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 08:12
  - And truthfully, given the same set of circumstances we went with the 4s to save $100 upfront and not rebuy accessories. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 07:51 9
    - Does the 4s have a working map program or did they all get upgraded to imaps? -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:53 7
      - As long as you,re on iOS6 you'll have Apple's Maps, no matter the phone model -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 07:54
      - They all have the same maps, but as I've said it's like saying Windows sucks because IE does. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:54 3
        
        Aaah so you can load Google maps on it, but it doesn't come already loaded? -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:54 2
        
        Google doesn't offer a map app yet, but you can use it through the web interface -- nm - Guigue Nov 19, 07:55
        
        Google maps will work fine as a webapp but there are a ton of other mapping programs. - spamlet Nov 19, 07:55
      - imaps -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:53 1
        
        Along those lines, I went to a wedding in the middle of nowhere Indiana this weekend and Imaps got me there flawlessly. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:54
    - [deleted]
- easy choice. iphone 5. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:49
- [deleted] 2
  - When I was at AT&T last month they appeared to be the same price? -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:49 1
    - [deleted]
- Samsung -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:48 6
  - That's a strong argument. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:49 5
    - Samsung because Apple sucks -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:49 4
      - Amazingly, your argument just got worse. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:50 3 1
        
        Samsung because Apple sucks donkey balls -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:50 2
        
        Nice save. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 19, 08:00
        
        For the win. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 07:53
Very excited. Upgraded my Reds season tickets. Used to be row 17, now? Row 4. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:46 5
- Very nice! Enjoy your new, awesome view. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 08:01 1
  - It's amazing how much closer it feels. We are like 'right there' now. Jay Bruce, front and center. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 08:05
- You should have upgraded your Reds tickets for Giants tickets. -- nm - Bacon Nov 19, 07:58 1
  - According to Goole maps, I live .8 miles from Great American Ballpark. Seemed like the logical purchase, -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 08:00
- can I get a woot! woot!? nice -- nm - Pippygalore Nov 19, 07:57
Don Homer/ty97: Look back at Hunting's posts about it. UMD is a whipping boy now. - MDH Nov 19, 07:41 15
- By the way, the student govt endorsed the move... -- (link) - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:43 2
  - Let's put it this way, the student govnt endorsed, the student body did not. They are enraged. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:45 1
    - The whole student body, or the small echo chamber you're familiar with? -- nm - nubby Nov 19, 09:04
- This is not meant as a dig: Aren't you often whipping boys in the ACC? -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:42 2
  - We are the last 2-3 years when we fired the best coach we've had in decades for a pretender. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:45 1
    - Turgeon's recruiting (I've said this before) astouds me. UMD is 2-3 years away from being a Top 5 team consistently. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:47
- so you're worried they're going to suck even more against stronger competition? -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:42 8
  - It sure as f**k ain't going to spur interest in the fanbase. "Oh, we're getting beat up now by Purdue! I'm glad I paid $20 for these tickets!" - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:48 3
    - Football season tickets are already lower than ever, I can only imagine what happens to bball with no Duke, UNC, NC State, Syracuse, etc. - MDH Nov 19, 07:52 2
      - I think the Big Ten's basketball isn't 'bad'...it's just not aesteticly pleasing. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 07:54 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 08:02
  - Look at Missouri. They went from (relatively) strong in the Big 12 to celebrating a victory over Kentucky in the SEC. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 07:43 3
    - true, but that isnt just conference related - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:54
    - One year is anecdotal data. I can take your Mizzou and give you a Texas A&M. - ty97 Nov 19, 07:44
    - I'm sure they'll be welcome in the Big East in that case. Plenty of chances at a winning record there. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:44
37? I've also decided that the 18 Regicides in one game is impossible. I had a game where I had 7 of 8 kills as Regicides and I was the top - oblique Nov 19, 07:40 12
- oh, and my k/d is now - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:56 2
  - Sniper hog :) -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 08:08 1
    - possibly. - tRuMaN Nov 19, 08:12
- so is swat back as a game type then? - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:51 3
  - It is, but isn't in the achievements yet under "game type" which is a shame, because I love SWAT. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:57 1
    - At the end, I really got into it in Reach. With no armor lock, I am really liking the other types now. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 07:58
  - Yes. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 07:52
- i said the other night, it seemed the only way to get that is to - tRuMaN Nov 19, 07:44 3
  - yeah, that was my thought also. I was a total Jamie and couldn't get close :) -- nm - oblique Nov 19, 07:45 1
    - also it totally depends on the map. the one game i played was on compound - tRuMaN Nov 19, 08:14
  - Yup. -- nm - Spawn Nov 19, 07:45
- I agree. 18 seems absurd. because like you said, if you can do that, you are the king way too often. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:41
Looking forward to seeing how the number 13 gets worked into the Big Ten logo -- nm - TWuG Nov 19, 07:40 8
- Do they stop at 14 or go all the way to 16? -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 07:43 1
  - Probably 16. Which will necessitate a playoff for Big Ten champs. - TWuG Nov 19, 07:47
- 14. Rutgers. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:41 5
  - Yeah, the article I read basically said that the second Maryland says yes, the conditional invite goes out to Rutgers. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:42 1
    - Yup. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:43
  - that's not a given. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:42 1
    - If Maryland says yes, Rutgers gets an invite. They have already stated that they will accept. -- nm - MDH Nov 19, 07:43
  - When did they join? -- nm - TWuG Nov 19, 07:41
Is David around? Who's the next coach at Tennessee? -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:38 1
- Phil Fullmer. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 19, 07:38
VON!!!!! -- nm - Jim Nov 19, 07:38 5
- [deleted]
- HAYES. and his sweet shades roaming the Phillies outfield. -- nm - volnelk Nov 19, 07:45
- no freaking kidding -- nm - prayformojo Nov 19, 07:40 1
  - I'm just wondering if the Broncos don't have the MVP and Defensive PoY this season. nm - Jim Nov 19, 08:03
