I'm thinking of going to the dark side and buying a gas grill. Any tips on what to look for? (Not looking to go fancy, sub-$300) -- nm - Ender Jun 16, 19:09 2
- we bought a dirt cheap propane grill, over the years have replaced the burner twice and the grid 3 or 4 times, OK for just a couple or so - zeitgeist Jun 16, 20:57
- Propane, for God's sake, son -- nm - Hank Hill Jun 16, 19:10
In all seriousness, here is to hoping that mel and krusty get to feeling better. -- nm - Truman Jun 16, 19:06 3

  - Also. Dont mix wine and allergy meds. - Truman Jun 16, 19:11

  - Even Spawn would like this story. -- nm - TWuG Jun 16, 19:02
The Killing spoiler - nubby, Astro-lord Jun 16, 18:58 1
- Agreed! -- nm - JenBro Jun 16, 19:12
Wade Wide Again! -- nm - Bacon Jun 16, 18:51 2
- The Heat are keeping it close. Spurs are starting to cool off a bit -- nm - amoxy Jun 16, 18:58
- They should call it a Lay Down -- nm - Bacon Jun 16, 18:51
The killing is bringing it this season (IMHO) -- nm - JenBro Jun 16, 18:48 3
- is it still raining? -- nm - charlie Jun 16, 18:49 2
  - Of course -spoilers - JenBro Jun 16, 19:00
  - Without watching, my guess is yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:50
before I google it to find a real answer, what the hell is Orange Flower Water which this morrocan recipe calls for? - zeitgeist Jun 16, 18:43 2
- just what it says. sometimes it's called orange blossom water. got any middle eastern markets around? they'll have it...nm - x Jun 16, 18:45 1
  - we'll have to drive up to seattle some time, but it does seem more common than I realized..says some gran marnier is a reasonable sub -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 18:58
Supergreen! -- nm - Ruby Rhod Jun 16, 18:42 1
- the guy is insane. probably mvp of the series to this point...nm - x Jun 16, 18:44
Do you think comments are useful on low-readership websites, or is enabling them just a waste of time? - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:42 19
- One thing I miss when I moved my website to tumblr was a "YellBox" type thing. There is sadly so very little back-and-forth communication between me - Qale Jun 16, 18:50 3
  - Uh. Huh? Tumblr has two things like this. Question submissions and notes on reblogs. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:55 2
    - Both really kind of suck. It becomes almost impossible to follow notes on reblogs when they get a lot of them. And Question submissions are more used - Qale Jun 16, 19:14
    - Yeah, it does have the "ask me a question" thingie. - Kim Pine Jun 16, 18:56
- They're not useful for SEO, if that's what you're asking. - Kim Pine Jun 16, 18:44 6
  - For the blog launch I'm working on, it would use Disqus, which doesn't even register for SEO I think -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:46 5
    - The Gawker sites use Disqus, I think. Worst comment section ever, as far as I'm concerned. - TWuG Jun 16, 18:52 3
      - I 100% agree with this. -- nm - amanda Jun 16, 18:59
      - worse than AICN or Deadline? -- nm - charlie Jun 16, 18:54 1
        
        AICN is a site I've avoided for years. I have zero clue what the comments section looks like there. - TWuG Jun 16, 18:56
    - I think you'd just be either deleting or marking as spam most comments you get. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 16, 18:50
- comments are almost never useful -- nm - charlie Jun 16, 18:43 7
  - Case in point? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:44 6
    - they're all just cesspools of haterade -- nm - charlie Jun 16, 18:45 4
      - On big sites, yes. Maybe not for small scale single-audience sites? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:47 3
        
        yeah, thank god(s) you don't have a comments section on ST, can't imagine the stuff we'd post -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 19:08
        
        They only work well where they are strongly moderated. If you don't have the time to moderate either accept that they'll be a vile cesspool of hate - TWuG Jun 16, 18:54
        
        I get *nothing* but spam in comments on my site. - Kim Pine Jun 16, 18:54
    - (Er, I mean, thanks for your response) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 18:44

- you're not very perceptive -- nm - charlie Jun 16, 18:31
Not for nothing, but the pairing of Ty, krusty, and me made Mel need some me time to sleep on this morning. - Truman Jun 16, 18:16 5
- well when you all gang up on him like its some kind of intervention - zeitgeist Jun 16, 18:41 3
  - Too bad he's unlikely to find any of them in Chicago ;) -- nm - Meg Jun 16, 18:43 2
    - see Mel, Meg's got your back -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 19:03

I'm back from Euphoria, the younger cousin of Alchemy which is a distant relative of Burning Man. It was tons of fun. Less than a thousand hippies. - Qale Jun 16, 17:46 6
- bluegrass is the flip side of the americana musical coin from jazz/blues and the gather round the campfire jams makes so worthwhile as everyone takes - zeitgeist Jun 16, 18:00 3
  - I'm not musically inclined in that way. But I have to say it was presented more as a concert. They were in a bus that was opened up and converted - Qale Jun 16, 18:03 2
    - hippie -- nm - mud Jun 16, 18:04 1
      - Indeed. I so very nearly joined the Nuditarian club too. -- nm - Qale Jun 16, 18:11

    - It's the thought (of a gold moneybin) that counts. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 17:23
- Does it include the Churchillesque swimsuit? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 17:20
