    - Just add it like any other account. Find the provider under the "add account" dialog, put in username and password, and you're done. -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 10:52

LYC: It just occurred to me that the answer to my Twitter dilemma is a second account. - mara Apr 18, 10:30 11
- I wish the TwitterReader that was developed a few years ago didn't die out. - spamlet Apr 18, 10:51
- what is the dilemma? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 10:34 8
  - The inability to go back very far to check older Tweets, especially on days when news proliferates -- nm - con_carne Apr 18, 10:37 7
    - so how does a second account solve that? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 10:39 6
      - No one account has so many that some get skipped. Also the answer to the RSS feed question, possibly. -- nm - mara Apr 18, 10:45 3
        
        well, I recommend giving newsblur a try and also tweetbot, and lastly consider cutting feeds if necessary. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 18, 10:56 1
        
        Oh, I didn't know about any sort of "skipping." As a person who is used to RSS, that would seem to be... no good. -- nm - con_carne Apr 18, 10:52 1
        
        Yes, a real RSS alternative would be superior to twitter, IMO. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 10:53
      - Speaking for myself - con_carne Apr 18, 10:42
      - probably the same way lists would; fewer contributors mean less clutter -- nm - Beryllium Apr 18, 10:40
- I was just pondering this exact idea today -- nm - con_carne Apr 18, 10:34
Hey Canadians? How does the NHL lottery work? - David Apr 18, 10:30 12

- Odds list this year... -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Apr 18, 10:36 5
  - Is this designed to avoid a "race to the bottom" and prevent teams from sinking themselves in the final weeks to get a better draft pick? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Apr 18, 11:02
  - Thanks! So...how many uber-prospects are there in this year's draft? - David Apr 18, 10:46 3
    - (There's a Top 3, then a mid-top 10, then a cliff) - Reagen Apr 18, 11:02 1
      - Your IM is the key. It makes the MLB draft look like an exact science. -- nm - spamlet Apr 18, 11:10
    - I've mentioned this before, but my favourite thing about this year's draft is that the expected #1 is Popeye Jones' son. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 10:58
- They changed it this year. They only draw 1 number though. -- (link) - Reagen Apr 18, 10:34 4
  - My favorite in the table: - spamlet Apr 18, 10:54
  - Was this because of Edmonton? - David Apr 18, 10:41 2
    - Correct. - spamlet Apr 18, 10:55
    - Not that I've ever heard. I think they just wanted every non-playoff team to have a shot. - Reagen Apr 18, 10:55

That Boston Bruins singalong last night was as inspirational as anything I've seen in sports in years. -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:25 5
- what made it special was the spontaneous nature of it. It didn't happen because of a production. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 18, 10:30 3
  - Exactly. The players interviewed after the game were still teary-eyed. - David Apr 18, 10:32 2
    - did he do something to make the crowd start singing? -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 11:01
    - I thought it was totally in the moment - that more than anything made it incredibly dusty for me :) -- nm - JenBro Apr 18, 10:53

After 2 classes, I can now say with certainty that Zumba is NOT the class for me. - kelly Apr 18, 10:20 5
- it definitely has a learning curve, but by the 4th or 5th class you start to feel better about how uncoordinated you are and enjoy it more. -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 10:40 4
  - Yeah, the instructor said it takes 4 or so classes to get the moves. - kelly Apr 18, 10:50 2
    - Mrs. Dragon just tried Wii Zumba and it really doesn't do a good job breaking the moves down....but the movement is still a workout as long as you kee -- nm - p moving - SyrDragon Apr 18, 10:57
    - my major problem was I'd get totally winded - in addition to not knowing the steps - but they'd just tell me to keep moving - JenBro Apr 18, 10:54
  - (because you are more coordinated by then, that wasn't really clear above.) -- nm - Andie Apr 18, 10:40

Greece farm shooting: 30 injured in pay dispute -- (link) - DaneDukeNuuk Apr 18, 10:00 4
- *cancels his trip* -- nm - znufrii Apr 18, 10:12
- The dispute being over whether they should be paid. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 10:12 2
  - There are very few pay disputes that start with "hey, you gave me too much!" - Dr.Vermin Apr 18, 10:16 1
    - Though "zero is an amount" isn't a position likely to get management much sympathy. -- nm - Reagen Apr 18, 10:18
having my first "which wich" sandwich today - the muffuletta - it's really good! - JenBro Apr 18, 09:53 12
- Love muffuletta. Being in Olive Country, I get that a lot -- nm - amoxy Apr 18, 10:30 4
  - the cool thing is - you can apparently get the "olive spread" on ANY sandwich they have - not JUST the muffuletta -- nm - JenBro Apr 18, 10:55
  - "olive country" sounds like *such* a nice place. -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 10:34 2

    - You haven't lived until you live in Butte County -- nm - amoxy Apr 18, 10:38

  - doesn't it take like three hours to bake a cookie? -- nm - charlie Apr 18, 10:23 1
    - I don't know how they do it - but not here. -- nm - JenBro Apr 18, 10:25
- I saw one pop up here recently, at Beverly Connection -- nm - con_carne Apr 18, 09:58 1
  - The SoCal ones seem to be mostly in high-end malls or around universities. - Meg Apr 18, 10:04
- Help me! -- nm - JenBro's Shirt si Apr 18, 09:55 1
  - dont you have some temp'in to do? (actually - it has already dripped but my hand caught it before it hit my shirt!) -- nm - JenBro Apr 18, 09:57

Hunger Games is to Battle Royale as Maze Runner is to Cube. -- nm - Was Bar Was Apr 18, 09:53 6
- I'm not sure what that means...but I liked Maze Runner a lot. As a trilogy, it's better than Hunger Games. -- nm - Jim Apr 18, 10:15 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - The Hunger Games as a stand-alone is probably better than Maze Runner. But the MR trilogy, I think is better. - Jim Apr 18, 10:25 1
      - really. I kind of disliked the first 50 or 60 pages. maybe I should try again. -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 10:29
- was Maze runner a book too ? -- nm - decline Apr 18, 09:54 1
  - Young adult novel even. -- nm - Was Bar Was Apr 18, 09:57
NBA Playoffs: Spurs v Heat Finals until someone sez otherwise -- nm - budice Apr 18, 09:49 16
- the west playoffs should be kind of fun. the east is an effing trainwreck....nm - x Apr 18, 10:04 8
  - It's ridiculous. The Hawks are terrible and they're a *6* seed. -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:24 2
    - yep. and gsw as the 6 in the west is actually a respectable team....nm - x Apr 18, 10:31 1
      - He can throw up 40 like the basket is a magnet. Hes developing into one of the best pure shooters I've ever seen. -- nm - David Apr 18, 10:52
  - If Miami loses a game coming out of the east, they got bored or Lebron got hurt. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 18, 10:07 4
    - They're 1-3 against the Knicks this season. - the wrongelement, bad guy Apr 18, 11:13
    - yeah, they'll probably drop a couple just because of their minds wandering after walking over so many pitiful opponents....nm - x Apr 18, 10:11
    - The Knicks can take them to seven. They won 3 out of 4 during the season. - Krusty Apr 18, 10:10
    - I could see the Knicks or Indiana taking 1 at home. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 18, 10:07
- Rematch of last year Thunder v. Heat -- nm - amoxy Apr 18, 09:50 6
  - yeah, this is what I'm seeing -- nm - decline Apr 18, 09:52

    - yep, probably. Shit no need to watch any of it now -- nm - mud Apr 18, 09:54 2

I'm losing faith in Americans in general. I'm party to a long discussion about health...why do you think we haven't cured the flu yet? -- nm - ceregon Apr 18, 09:49 20
- (I totally thought this was about the TV show.) -- nm - amanda Apr 18, 10:51
- Answer: Because they intentionally reinfect us and keep spreading it around via flu shots. -- nm - ceregon Apr 18, 10:17
- Viruses mutate. But cancer OTOH should be cured soon. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Apr 18, 10:15 5
  - what universe do you live in? -- nm - loosilu Apr 18, 10:22
  - cancer mutates too -- nm - Dano Apr 18, 10:21
  - Except those cancers caused by viruses. -- nm - TWuG Apr 18, 10:16 2
    - Gardasil seems to be taking care of at least one of those - Reagen Apr 18, 10:19 1
      - Yep. -- nm - TWuG Apr 18, 10:30
- Because drug companies would lose money on over the counter stuff if it was cured? -- nm - TWuG Apr 18, 10:07
- mostly because flu virus mutates at a rapid rate and pharmaceutical production takes a long time....nm - x Apr 18, 10:02 10

        i'm breathing. not really prepared to go much farther'n that....nm - x Apr 18, 10:23
  - I don't think you're allowed to post a logical answer until several guesses have been posted and discussed. -- nm - JenBro Apr 18, 10:11 2
    - ack, sorry. i'm a little rusty....nm - x Apr 18, 10:13 1
