The French Senate voted Friday to legalize same-sex marriage in France, putting a landmark bill on track to become law by summer... -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 12, 07:28

- I find it interesting that the court(?) followed up with a restraining order, but I don't think they'd be in this mess if they'd honored the POA. -- nm - Max Apr 12, 07:51
- its been all over the news here (obviously) here is my summary. - tRuMaN Apr 12, 07:28 14
  - I will say it does put lie to the talking point of "oh, you can just contract it out and it'll all be fine, no need to call it marriage". -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 07:32 1
    - But the weird thing there is, if they weren't proving the POA, what did they take as proof that these other people were legit family? -- nm - Max Apr 12, 07:52
  - [deleted] 11
    - chances are if you get into a shouting match in a hospital room, you're getting kicked out even if you're right. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 07:38
    - he was in the right for being there yes, but not in the right for yelling/tantrum/etc in a hospital - tRuMaN Apr 12, 07:33 8
      - also, the hospital says they may release footage from the incident that got him removed - tRuMaN Apr 12, 07:40
      - I'll disagree that his being removed wasn't about him being gay... - Mel Profit Apr 12, 07:38 4
        
        if he was straight, and he got into an argument with his wife's family, and then the nursing staff, he would have gotten removed. - tRuMaN Apr 12, 07:44 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        Ha! I can forsee arguments if my wife's family ever tries to dictate her hospital care. - TWuG Apr 12, 08:04 1
        
        [deleted]
      - This. And like you I question why the brother wasn't removed/arrested as well. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 07:36 1
        
        as far as I can tell he was asked to leave as well, maybe he did without incident. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 07:43
    - that's right. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 12, 07:31
- I think most people jumped to the other conclusion that the hospital just hated gay people. We were saying maybe it's not that easy. -- nm - spamlet Apr 12, 07:24 5
  - which is so totally wrong about that hospital - tRuMaN Apr 12, 07:29
  - [deleted] 3
    - I never said that. See tRU's summary. It's sort of what I thought happened. - spamlet Apr 12, 07:36
    - most of us would be dicks if told to leave the side of a love one. - Mel Profit Apr 12, 07:30 1

  - not for borderlands 2, yes for borderlands 1 - tRuMaN Apr 12, 07:35
- What have you been playing these days? I'm bored of my games and I'm thinking of trading in what I can for something new(to me). - Krusty Apr 12, 07:26 5

    - single player games are the devil! - groiny Apr 12, 07:33

YDC, but I'm starting to think that maybe I'll stop reading RSS feeds after all, and just get everything via Twitter. - mara Apr 12, 07:00 9
- If I could sort Twitter I'd use it more. But right now so much gets lost and I can't be bothered to sort through the noise. - Krusty Apr 12, 07:23
- (Cold. Dead. Hands.) -- nm - con_carne Apr 12, 07:12
- which alt feed readers have you tried? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 12, 07:04 6
  - I haven't tried any yet, I keep putting it off. I've registered at The Old Reader and one other that's said to be much like Google's. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 07:05 5
    - I've fully migrated to newsblur, fwiw. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 12, 07:05 4
      - I'll probably give it a shot, thanks for the recommendation. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 07:07 3
        
        I use Reeder on my iPhone and he's integrating Feedbin. - spamlet Apr 12, 07:17 2
        
        I need something I can read while covering the reference desk, so not my phone. It needs to be browser-based. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 07:18 1
        
        Feedbin can do either. It generously rips off Google Reader -- (link) - spamlet Apr 12, 07:19

  - Dont think so that would be huge news in TX. Dude is an icon here -- nm - Capstern Apr 12, 07:19 2
    - �If Barack Obama becomes the president in November, again, I will either be dead or in jail by this time next year.� - Ted Nugent Apr 12, 07:25 1

    - I wonder if a young Einstein ever schooled his professor on this topic. -- nm - TWuG Apr 12, 06:39
  - Ditto. I look forward to seeing if the real crazy is stranger than what I'm thinking it'll be. :-) -- nm - TWuG Apr 12, 06:36 21
    - it's just one plant grown with microwave water and another with purified water. (from a 9 year old's "experiment") -- nm - CQ Apr 12, 06:38 20
      - I found the Snopes. I was envisioning something crazier. :-) -- nm - TWuG Apr 12, 06:39
      - if i owned a microwave i would totally redo the experiment. :) -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 06:39 18
        
        *jaw drop* How do you *live* without a microwave?! -- nm - TWuG Apr 12, 06:40 17
        
        Heh, it's vital to me just for re-heating my coffee *alone*. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 07:06

        My microwave is just a clock and never gets used. There's nothing I would use it for. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 06:53 5
        
        true: I only have a microwave because it's cute. if it were ugly, I would have tossed it years ago. brian & I don't even use for melting marshmallows - amanda Apr 12, 06:54 1
        
        I use the stove or a toaster oven for everything. I'm dying to get one of those convection/toaster ovens. They look sweet! - Krusty Apr 12, 07:06
        
        when i moved 4 years ago, i gave mine away, it was just a space killer in the kitchen. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 06:54 2
        
        I'd toss it if my roommate wouldn't take issue with losing his clock. I should just buy a clock for the wall or get rid of the roommate already. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 07:04 1
        
        get a clock. free up the space. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 07:05
        
        I hadn't had one since I've been in australia. got one a month or so ago when a friend moved to the UK. I never use it. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 06:51
