Ryan Philippe sold his home for significantly under asking price. We should cry for him -- (link) - ty97 Mar 18, 10:19 2
- He'll have to seek comfort while he's neck deep in pussy. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:20 1
  - head first? -- nm - Don Homer Mar 18, 10:21
How is this not illegal already? WA state wants to make license plate changers (remember james bond) illegal - zeitgeist Mar 18, 10:17 3
- I don't think that it's currently legal. I think the new law would put a higher penalty on that particular device. -- (link) - mara Mar 18, 10:25
- This is probably a case of making a law that's too narrow. - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:19
- heh. How isnt it illegal under federal law?? -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 10:19
Speaking of Breaking Bad, you can buy Jesse Pinkman's crappy car which is currently for sale on an Albuquerque dealer's lot... -- (link) - Don Homer Mar 18, 10:15 2
- cant wait to see what it sells for. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 10:21
- comes with four-wheel drive, surprising reliability, a single windshield wiper, the urge to say, �Yeah, bitch!� -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 10:19
Collusion - really cool Chrome plugin that visualizes who tracks you online. -- (link) - colin Mar 18, 10:15 2 1
- This came to Firefox a few months back and the developers did - yup, you guessed it - a TED Talk. Watch the video here. -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:21
- Thanks -- nm - con_carne Mar 18, 10:19
no joke: amazon just recommended this to me -- (link) - amanda Mar 18, 10:15 1
- ahh... related are great Sock It To Me socks! -- (link) - colin Mar 18, 10:15
"Too bad for @rabite he tickled a corporate web server instead of raping a woman. Then CNN would have been outraged at his mistreatment." ... oh my. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 10:11 1
- this is also true: "+1 RT @pusscat Hate to say but while I think it sucks to make API use illegal, weev would end up in prison eventually anyhow" -- nm - #notagoodperson Mar 18, 10:19
speaking of burnett, I am actually pretty pissed at CBS and burnett for the hantzes. I am so not okay with the fact that brandon was sent back out. -- nm - amanda Mar 18, 10:08 10
- What makes it worse for me is the PSA someone saw. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 10:15 2
  - There's a fine line to tread here - the reason not to send someone out on Survivor is because that specific person would not be able to cope - Roger More Mar 18, 10:28
  - I'm glad i wasn't the only one that noticed this. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 18, 10:21
- Jeff in his EW interview emphasized that Brandon passed all the tests. - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:12 4
  - I'll give Probst maybe more credit than he deserves here. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 10:27
  - And Barry Bonds passed his drug tests. -- nm - David, Halo Legend Mar 18, 10:19
  - Of course he did. -- nm - Roger More Mar 18, 10:13 1
    - The CYA comment was apt, btw. -- nm - David, Halo Legend Mar 18, 10:20
- Especially after the insane and disturbing Youtube video Brandon put out early last summer, after his other Uncle (Willie) was kicked off Big Bro. nm - Jovian Mar 18, 10:12
- It's pure Rednecksploitation - and in the case of Brandon, I'd consider it a worse offense than airing Honey Boo Boo. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 10:10
The guitar riff in The Stroke's Last Nite is a rip-off of Tom Petty's American Girl. That is all. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:08
I think anyone expecting Mike Wallace to be a top 10 WR is going to be disappointed. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 10:05 1
- but he was one hell of an investigative journalist on 60 minutes -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 18, 10:22
Here's the list of the games one can obtain by EA's apology for SimCity. - Qale Mar 18, 10:04 7
- Dead Space 1 was hella fun. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 18, 10:22 1
  - Sure was. The second one was pretty awesome too. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 10:26
- Well, that's actually a decent list. -- nm - oblique Mar 18, 10:15
- can i buy simcity and then get all of these? -- nm - colin Mar 18, 10:13 1
  - You can buy 8 SimCities and get all 8! -- nm - Qale Mar 18, 10:14
- I quite like that SimCity 4 is an option. If you want to play single-player local SimCity, then get single-player local SimCity. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:05 1
  - EA should have put Sims 3 on there. Then they could have made even more $$$ off the microtransations. -- nm - Qale Mar 18, 10:14
Another epic Halo weekend. I had a 30-and-10 game on Sunday. I was deadly with the DMR. - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:00 11
- pfft, my last game was 28 and 0. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 10:01 10
  - I had a non-vehicle perfection ruined by lag after you left. I'm still bitter about it. -- nm - David Mar 18, 10:04 9
    - I am not sure if 15 kills with no vehicle or 28 kills with one is better. - groiny Mar 18, 10:07 8
      - I wasmpn't comparing but duh, mine is better. - David, Halo Legend Mar 18, 10:21 1
        
        it is certainly tougher to get 15 kills without assistance from a vehicle - groiny Mar 18, 10:25
      - I think the 28 is more only because I *cannot* aim the gauss for shit and sniping from a moving vehicle and getting 28 kills is impressive to me -- nm - oblique Mar 18, 10:10 3
        
        well, any perfection is impressive. - groiny Mar 18, 10:11 2
        
        I wouldn't go that far... "I have a perfect record! I've pre-ejacked every single time this month!" -- nm - Don Homer Mar 18, 10:22 1
        
        *confused gaze* -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 10:26
      - also, you need not only you to be good, but your driver to not lead you to certain death. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 10:10
      - plus, a Killtrocity in that was sweet. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 10:08
Venezuela's acting president says you can thank Hugo Chavez' ghost for Bergoglio becoming pope. - Ender Mar 18, 09:57 4
- You can't stop the crazy, Mal! -- nm - Stephen Mar 18, 10:04
- JT as Elton John on SNL singing to Hugo was awesome -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 10:02
- He sounds sane. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 09:58 1
  - He sounds like he's pandering. Like any politician. - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:02
mandy, whichever show you choose will likely be a bit of a let down after Fringe. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 09:54 5
- I watch PoI so it's out, but the lack of blood makes it watchable for me. - amanda Mar 18, 10:07
- I'm going to have to watch Fringe at some point. I gave up partway through S1 -- nm - oblique Mar 18, 09:56 3
  - Same here. I think I watched the first episode and then forgot it -- nm - amoxy Mar 18, 09:57 2
    - we're season 4. it's *so* well-crafted. -- nm - amanda Mar 18, 09:57
    - I watched about half the first season. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 09:57
REMEMBER ME?! THIS IS MY REVENGE!! -- (link) - fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant Mar 18, 09:51 3
- Seriously? You need revenge? For what? You've kicked our ass once already... -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 09:59 2
  - CAUSE F YOU THAT'S WHY! -- nm - Fujushima Mar 18, 10:02 1
    - Fair enough. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:04
Have we heard of Crabbie's alcoholic ginger beer? - znufrii Mar 18, 09:46 2
- Yes, but I don't like ginger beer. I think they do an alcoholic lemonade too. -- nm - LMS Mar 18, 09:50
- *kicks it* -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 09:47
OAE : One site says "We recommend that you select EE bonds for children..." -- (link) - mara Mar 18, 09:43 1
- This is lovely, thank you! -- nm - OAE -- aka OAE Mar 18, 10:53
Re: back boards and the Satan actor. It was noted that he played in other Bible movies even pre-2008. - ty97 Mar 18, 09:41 10
- I would not put it past Burnett to leak this story himself in order to boost awareness for the mini-series. -- nm - David Mar 18, 10:03 3
  - I have no idea whether anything was intended by the casting, I just didn't think the argument about previous casting held water. -- nm - ty97 Mar 18, 10:17
  - Wasn't it pretty much started by Glenn Beck's tweet? -- nm - mara Mar 18, 10:11 1
    - No idea but that is how it will be remembered. -- nm - David, Halo Legend Mar 18, 10:22
- I wikied Burnett, but it didn't have any info on his politics -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 09:43 5
  - Burnett donated $2300 to Obama's presidential campaign in 2008 -- (link) - Roger More Mar 18, 09:46 2
    - Proof! He wanted Obama to win in 2008 so his 2013 Bible mini-series would do better! -- nm - spamlet Mar 18, 10:29
    - I figured. I can't see him casting an Obama look-alike in any event anyway -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 09:47
  - An article I read this morning (perhaps a ST link) said he has given to the Democratic Party -- nm - Guigue Mar 18, 09:46 1
    - However, he also knows his public, producing The Apprentice and Sarah Palin's reality show -- nm - Guigue Mar 18, 09:47
Wow. Feedly alone gained over half a million new users. In two days. -- (link) - mara Mar 18, 09:38
Bloomie proposed legislation Monday requiring stores to put cigarettes out of public sight and to increase penalties on the smuggling and illegal sale -- (link) - ty97 Mar 18, 09:38 10
- maybe he should finish one cause before he starts another? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 18, 09:40 6
  - Not to be argumentative but this is part of his job. -- nm - Krusty Mar 18, 09:48 1
    - and honestly, one of his better accomplishments, overall. -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 09:53
  - He'll probably be out of office before the sugary drink law is finally through the courts. - ty97 Mar 18, 09:42 3
    - he's gotten around term limits once before... -- nm - znufrii Mar 18, 09:49 1
      - This time his pet on the council isn't going to give it to him. -- nm - Krusty Mar 18, 09:51
    - Well, he's term-limited now, but in August he'll introduce a new health department rule stating he needs to stay on a little longer. -- nm - Ender Mar 18, 09:44
- How much longer is he mayor? -- nm - Ender Mar 18, 09:39 1
  - This is his last year. -- nm - Krusty Mar 18, 09:49
- we have that in Canada now (stores have to have a cover/drapes over the cigarette section) -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 09:39
I'm pretty sure ECHELON wants to know why I'm searching for "bulk lye". -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 09:35 7
- after thinking about it, drano might be too dilute. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 09:44 5
  - It always comes down to the amount. -- nm - Reagen Mar 18, 09:55
  - *stops shoving bones down the bathroom drain* -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 09:45 3
    - oh, you need acid for that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 09:46 2
      - Will lye dissolve bones? Walt's intention is to get rid of the bones, too. Maybe that's why he went with the HF. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 10:07 1
        
        lye isn't so good for dissolving bones. it dissolves proteins better than acid, though. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 10:12
- nmbM - Spawn Mar 18, 09:38
Appraise was just here. - ty97 Mar 18, 09:35
twug: People make the analogy of "leaving the door unlocked" when it comes to computer theft. In this case, the house had no fucking WALLS. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 09:34 7
- It's still theft. He had a clear opportunity to do the right thing and chose poorly. - TWuG Mar 18, 09:37 5
  - Everything on the web is public. It's the responsibility of the data provider to protect their customers. AT&T failed this responsibility. - Beryllium Mar 18, 09:43 4
    - Tell that to the 114,000 people whose stuff got revealed by this guy. He had choices and he chose to be a dick. - TWuG Mar 18, 09:50 3
      - But not 3.5 years. AT&T wrote the code. AT&T had a responsibility to say "restrict this information", but instead they told the code - Beryllium Mar 18, 10:05 2
        
        it's not like he accidentally got the information. if he wanted to make a point, he could have informed the secret service or fbi about the flaw plus - zork Mar 18, 10:13
        
        (asking 100K times was a dick move. This clearly sets a precedent in all cases of United Stats v. Dick Move) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 10:09
- (It probably sounds like I'm advocating he should have got off scot free, just like AT&T did. Not quite. But not 3.5 years. Fuck that.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 18, 09:35
If you care, The Da Vinci Code is free at Amazon or B&N for their respective e-readers. -- nm - spamlet Mar 18, 09:33 9
- Huh. I'll probably never read it, but it's free, so I just "bought" it. -- (link) - Mop (190 lbs) Mar 18, 09:48 6
  - as much as it gets bad mouthed, it's a perfectly fine light thriller. beach reading stuff. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 09:51 5
    - this, and if it gets someone who follows their church completely blindly, to ask themselves questions, I think that's a good thing. - zork Mar 18, 09:58 2
      - if someone takes ANY theology in that book seriously, it is definitely not a good thing. -- nm - loosilu Mar 18, 10:02 1
        
        that's not what I said -- nm - zork Mar 18, 10:08
    - hey, what are we reading next? -- nm - amanda Mar 18, 09:57 1
      - i am finishing up The King of Torts right now. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 09:58
- that and Angels & Demons were an OK read. The Lost Symbol was mind-numbingly bad -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 09:34 1
  - so was the arctic/aliens one. terrible. -- nm - Andie Mar 18, 09:52
loosi, the choice of chemical is almost a character point - Reagen Mar 18, 09:32 9
- chem class was a long time ago but I'm thinking that the HF you're mentioning is hydro fluoric -- nm - zork Mar 18, 09:54
- Hmmm, I noticed there was a "Ramon" in the comments section of the chemistry link Loosi posted. - Inigo Mar 18, 09:52 1
  - Heh. I haven't used that since BOP went live. -- nm - Reagen Mar 18, 09:56
- so I've gathered. If I were really going to do this, I would do a two step process. First lye to dissolve the flesh, then acid (probably sulfuric) - loosilu Mar 18, 09:37
- I had been thinking so lately, but today ST has convinced me I need to watch this. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:33 4
  - Oh you havent?? you need to asap. -- nm - Jovian Mar 18, 10:10
  - good gravy yes. stick with it, starts slow, but every season gets better -- nm - Beaker Mar 18, 09:36 2
    - Yeah, this is one I considered when it started but just thought that it could not really be *that* great or go anywhere. - Spawn Mar 18, 09:37
    - I am sad that we only have 8 more episodes to go -- nm - amoxy Mar 18, 09:36
Brawl Above All: Four Questions and One Takeaway From Bradley-Provodnikov (Mel I think you watched this right?) -- (link) - Beaker Mar 18, 09:31 1
- Good gravy, yes. Fight of the Year Candidate. Possible the best Out on His Feet moments since Mickey Ward. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 18, 09:34
Walking Dead speculation for next week - nubby, Astro-lord Mar 18, 09:30 14
- I think you're right. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 18, 10:03
- Since there are only 2 episodes left (spoilers) - amoxy Mar 18, 09:32 12
  - Oh no. - nubby, Astro-lord Mar 18, 09:36 3
    - spoils.... - groiny Mar 18, 09:36 2
      - I like the HBO formula of having the "big event" in the 2nd to last episiode and then a fallout finale. -- nm - volnelk Mar 18, 09:46 1
        
        Mad Men has done this also. But I can't see Walking Dead doing this -- nm - amoxy Mar 18, 09:48
  - spoils.... - groiny Mar 18, 09:34 7
    - Yup (spoilers) - amoxy Mar 18, 09:35 6
      - spoils - groiny Mar 18, 09:36 5
        
        nmbg - Spawn Mar 18, 09:40 3
        
        Boondock Saints? nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 09:43 2
        
        Of course. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:43 1
        
        he is a wise man. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 18, 09:45
        
        Yes on the IM -- nm - amoxy Mar 18, 09:37
[deleted] 5
- I think I picked Duke to lose the opening game -- nm - amoxy Mar 18, 09:36 1
  - well Duke Sucks - Epiphany Mar 18, 09:41
- Not to spoil, but that is not how I have it predicted this year. -- nm - Spawn Mar 18, 09:30 2
  - I'd think G-Town is the #2 most likely to lose...they have put up some mediocre games. - Will Hunting Mar 18, 09:31 1
    - Duke sucks. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 18, 10:00
