"If you're going to ride my ass, at least pull my hair!" - Bumper Sticker I Just Saw May 22, 07:21 3
- That is an oldy but a goody. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 07:25

  - who I am guessing is very popular -- nm - David May 22, 07:23
That's not the "Florida man" news story you usually see. -- nm - loosilu May 22, 07:11 7
- it hasn't been posted yet? FBI kills Florida man suspected to have ties with the Boston bombing. -- (link) - loosilu May 22, 07:18 6
  - The story I read at NBC news said that he was not suspected in the bombing, but did confess to being involved in the other murders that they now - pmb May 22, 07:42 1
    - huh. -- nm - loosilu May 22, 07:47
  - That's the kinda scenario (being interviewed before turning on the FBI, then shot and killed) that you sorta roll your eyes at as a cliche in movies. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 22, 07:20
  - *Looks below* - MDH May 22, 07:20 2

    - To be a catch-all rather than be specific. To give more options to the police, immigration authorities, etc - Roger More May 22, 07:32 3
      - [deleted] 2
        
        My thinking was "prohibited /= controlled", and when I went to check controlled substances, MDMA was on the list. -- nm - Roger More May 22, 07:50
        
        All the kids love 1-3-(Trifluoro-methyl)-phenyl]piperazine. But good luck using in a rap song. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 07:40
- No. It would need to be a controlled substance under federal law to remove him from the country. -- nm - Krusty May 22, 07:16 1
  - this -- nm - Spawn May 22, 07:18
- removal from NJ but not the country? -- nm - Beaker May 22, 07:11

  - I don't care what anyone says...I liked that movie. nm -- nm - Jim May 22, 07:28 1
    - It's hilarious. -- nm - David May 22, 07:33
  - unrelated, - tRuMaN May 22, 07:24 6
    - Something I found interesting... - David May 22, 07:27 5
      - i turned in 1 mission in ultimate and remlik went from 1 to 10. -- nm - tRuMaN May 22, 07:30 4
        
        Did he participate in the mission or did you just turn it in? -- nm - David May 22, 07:32 3
        
        i waited for him to join with a new type, then went and turned it in. - tRuMaN May 22, 07:35 2
        
        Strange. I turned in an 18k mission at level 61 and Wes only got 4 bars at level 1. -- nm - David May 22, 07:39 1
        
        remlik was playing the mechromancer, but i dont think that would matter - tRuMaN May 22, 07:40

      - its a wibbly wobbly time show, how do we actually know the order? also, you are wrong. - tRuMaN May 22, 07:11 5
        
        the order is canon! -- nm - loosilu May 22, 07:17 4
        
        bah, its moffat, for all we know, this is all - tRuMaN May 22, 07:23 3
        
        he's not THAT bad. - loosilu May 22, 07:27 2
        
        well, his first two seasons weren't at least... -- nm - znufrii, college graduate May 22, 07:37
        
        yes, yes he is. -- nm - tRuMaN May 22, 07:30
Yay - In The Flesh has been recommissioned - it's the zombie drama coming to BBCA on the 6th June. -- (link) - LMS May 22, 06:59
Hmmm. Go to AC on Saturday? Why am I even debating? Free room at Tropicana and a ride there and back. - Jovian May 22, 06:57 3

I have a .pdf that is 1500 pages, is it possible to select one chapter from that and print it off - J May 22, 06:53 11
- Determine what pages are covered, then in the print dialog specify those pages. -- nm - Ender May 22, 06:54
- You can print from Page X to Page Y. - spamlet May 22, 06:54 9
  - Got it, thanks - J May 22, 06:57 8
    - Just have to be careful because the front pages (table of contents, etc.) sometimes count as 1 to X and sometimes as i, ii, iii, etc. -- nm - zork May 22, 07:12 6
      - yeah, I usually print 1 page first to test for this -- nm - decline May 22, 07:13 5
        
        "Print Preview" is kinda handy. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 07:20 4
        
        It is. Too bad Adobe Reader doesn't have it. -- nm - zork May 22, 07:27 3
        
        Ah. I don't use Adobe. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 07:31 2
        
        supposedly the whole thing is a print preview but I still never know whether to select "fit to page", "actual size", etc. - zork May 22, 07:34 1
        
        Sometimes there is a readin on the side. Something like "page 1/252". -- nm - Spawn May 22, 07:39
    - Yeah, I don't like the print dialog in Chrome for pdfs. I use IETab to get it so I can print, e-mail, etc... -- nm - spamlet May 22, 07:03
sexy-time pills for ladies in the drug development pipeline -- (link) - znufrii, college graduate May 22, 06:53 2
- That article reads like Stephen Soderbergh wrote it. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 07:11 1
  - I thought it was going to be a funny 300 word article instead of a new Kinsey Scale dissertation. -- nm - David May 22, 07:23
Reporter Friend in orlando posted that FBI has shot/killed man they believe connected to Boston Bombings -- nm - MDH May 22, 06:51
I just got invited to post 6 to 15 pieces of artwork at a local-ish coffee shop chain - Beryllium May 22, 06:51 9
- niceee. do you get to put prices on them? -- nm - zork May 22, 07:35 1
  - That's the norm around here, but I don't know the details yet -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 07:35
- Congrats! -- nm - David May 22, 07:33
- Awesome! -- nm - Kim Pine May 22, 07:29

- "jaunty" is one of my favorite clothes-descriptors. -- nm - amanda May 22, 06:43
do we feel like talking about mandy's new work laptop? I have two choices that are essentially the same except that one is 12.1" and one is 15". - amanda May 22, 06:36 19
- The only thing I could think of that might make you want the larger is if you really really want a number pad on the keyboard for Excel use... - oblique May 22, 06:59 7
  - even then, the number pad on the larger wont be a normal size, so you would want a portable one anyways - tRuMaN May 22, 07:14 3
    - I feel like I would sue a number pad so rarely but for the moments I need it, I think portable would be handy. - amanda May 22, 07:25 2
      - yeah, i use my usb pad on the new laptop, i mean, the built in would work in a pinch - tRuMaN May 22, 07:41
      - I *have* to have a numeric keypad. When I had a laptop without one, I tried to hook up an external one it took over the jkl/etc. keys and I would have - zork May 22, 07:32
  - my current machine doesn't have that so I'm used to not having it in meetings. I should get an external, though; you're totally right. *just in case.* - amanda May 22, 07:00 2
    - well, my work here is done - oblique May 22, 07:41
    - I have one that I never use. I just taught myself to use the normal numbers in Quickbooks. - spamlet May 22, 07:04
- I would go lighter. - spamlet May 22, 06:53 1
  - right? right??? (isn't kilbo's number pad idea brilliant?) -- nm - amanda May 22, 07:02
- Which is lighter? -- nm - LMS May 22, 06:44 1
  - obviously smaller is lighter. I just looked them up. the difference is ... wait for it... 2.5 pounds. holy crap! -- nm - amanda May 22, 06:52
- Sounds like that's the one you want. Get the one you want. -- nm - volnelk May 22, 06:39 6
  - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 06:42 4
    - yeah, I was kind of thinking that someone would say "but it's smaller! you'll go blind!!" but you're all right. -- nm - amanda May 22, 06:43 3
      - There is a lot of value in having a *small* laptop. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 06:53
      - if you have a separate (larger) monitor it sounds like you will rarely use your laptop one in any event -- nm - Beaker May 22, 06:48 1
        
        I use my current one all the time, but that's because I only have one monitor. I'm getting a second when we get me a new computer. -- nm - amanda May 22, 06:49

Hitting for the cycle is such a weird little statistical achievement. I love it. -- nm - Was Bar Was May 22, 05:30 1

NS judge goes off when 40% of his prospective jurors fail to show up for jury duty -- (link) - Beaker May 22, 04:49 2
- "We haven't been asked to do that much. When we are asked, we don't vote, we don't show up for jury duty. We are a flabby, sad generation." -- nm - Beaker May 22, 04:49 1
  - ..and we get the politicians we deserve. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 05:00
Sergio Garcia is a dumbass. -- (link) - Will Hunting May 22, 04:48 9
- Tiger responds -- (link) - Beaker May 22, 06:31 5
  - Ya know...if Tiger had been thinking...he'd have popped off about taking Garcia to Taco Bell or something like that. - Jim May 22, 06:47 4
    - Go get some empanadas on the way home from KFC -- nm - Tiger May 22, 07:37
    - but given that Sergio is from Spain, not Mexico... -- nm - Reagen May 22, 07:34
    - nah, he is DESTROYING him in the after incident PR battle. Just let Sergio keep making a bigger and bigger fool of himself -- nm - Beaker May 22, 07:34 1
      - this. And it's obvious that Tiger is so entirely in Sergio's head that Sergio can't even think straight. - Diva May 22, 07:45
- Regardless of whether he meant it as a racial jab or not... yes, he is. -- nm - Strongbad May 22, 05:01
- Agreed. -- nm - budice May 22, 04:51
- dumbass is putting it mildly. -- nm - Beaker May 22, 04:50

  - I think it means we are zombies. -- nm - Loyola May 22, 03:39
I should probably try to do a mile every day on the bike. That would be a good start. But I suspect my legs or butt will be too sore tomorrow. - Beryllium May 21, 23:25 1
