ST is handy: My kitchen sink is metal. Not aluminum apparently, but metal. I know this because rust spots keep appearing - ty97 Jul 2, 09:06 2
- It could still be aluminum (you could be seeing aluminum oxide - not rust). - decline Jul 2, 09:10 1
  - easiest way to tell is to try to stick a magnet to the side of the sink -- nm - decline Jul 2, 09:14
there was an official Doctor/Sherlock crossover last night charity with Smith and Moriarty. Plus Helen Mirren as the Queen and Q from the Bond Skyfall - Remlik Jul 2, 09:02 1
- *fires LMS* -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:06
Our department won the university's Walking Challenge. Each member of the team won a pair of Beats headphones. I.....didn't know these things were - prayformojo Jul 2, 08:59 8
- Sell them for a good pair of cans. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 09:02
- Dr. Dre is the new PT Barnum -- nm - charlie Jul 2, 09:02
- Pretty ridiculous, right? - Spawn Jul 2, 09:00 4
  - Seriously, I think I'll do this. They'd be wasted on me, and I sorta hate having stuff that costs so much more than it should - prayformojo Jul 2, 09:02 3
    - have you tried them out to see if they are worth it though? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 09:03 2
      - For the limited things I'd ever use headphones for, there's no way they could be worth it -- nm - prayformojo Jul 2, 09:07 1
        
        Yeah, to be worth it you would have to wear them every day at all times. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:08
- crazy expensive. nice haul. -- nm - decline Jul 2, 09:00
As to Newsroom/Bin Laden breaking news - I just googled back to when it broke on ST -- (link) - JenBro Jul 2, 08:55

Remlik is now tied for third with Bookmamas! - Spawn Jul 2, 08:45 15
- ALone at 3rd? Now he is up against.... uh oh, that sounds library in nature? - Spawn Jul 2, 08:49 9

      - Remlik gives Bub toys, but via the Summer Reading Program, Indy Reads lets Bub earn toys! -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:01 3
        
        Sounds like you gotta support the other program; earning toys is so much better for his work ethic than just being given toys. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 09:03 1
        
        Remlik gives them for Christmas and birthday. Better toys, too. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:08
        
        So the question is do you want Bub to just be given something or do you want him to earn it -- nm - eag Jul 2, 09:03
    - They do a lot of work with the library. But so does Downtown Comics!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:53 2
      - Be honest, this is as close to a Sophie's Choice you've come in a long time, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:54 1
        
        I will be glad if I can only vote once, because then I am done! -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:59
- some wenches we must defeat. -- nm - Diva Jul 2, 08:47

- We will stop by and see you at your "booth". -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:38 8
  - HA! to late to sign up. I'm gonna send Natalie to recon it and see what it is about... -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 08:41 7
    - "Natalie, reporting back. It's scary, like really really really scary. Like ComiCon times sad to the pathetic power." -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:55 4
      - " and they keep following me around like lost puppies " -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:57 3
        
        "Business is business, just start walking toward my store." -- nm - Remliq Jul 2, 08:58 2
        
        Rule #2! -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 09:05 1
        
        I'm worried about what's Rule #1 then? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 09:07
    - from the website, it looks like it's sponsored by Hasbro. Not the TV show. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:42
    - She should take Bub. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:41
is born in the USA a "patriotoc" song? I think no. right? -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 08:36 8
- No, but Born to Run? ... A Classic! :) -- nm - JenBro Jul 2, 08:57 1
  - Yeah, because we are all about the hemi-powered drones these days. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:59
- nope. -- nm - kelly Jul 2, 08:42
- sort of the opposite. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:39 1
  - Lets just say if AQ ever made their own Gitmo, they would blast that at the prisoners 24/7. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:40
- No, it is not. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:38
- "...the song deals with the negative effects of the Vietnam War on Americans, but is often misunderstood to be a patriotic or nationalistic anthem." -- (link) - znufrii Jul 2, 08:37 1

"Nice! With your vote, Downtown Comics moved up 1 spot to 4th place - help them climb to the top!" -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:34 2
- Sweet. Yeah, my office is DC fan, as well. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:35 1
  - I just shared the link with my GenCon friends, that should help. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:38
What do I want to make for dinner tonight? Torn between 2 options. - kelly Jul 2, 08:30 29
- Is it the sauce that was posted here? Definitely the pasta. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 08:46 16
  - i need to find this sauce - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:52
  - yeah, that sauce. It's the only sauce I use now. -- nm - kelly Jul 2, 08:47 14
    - what's this? -- nm - Diva Jul 2, 08:54
    - When my wife says we're having pasta, I look forward to it *all day* -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 08:47 12
      - I'm not a very big fan of pasta (unless it's mac and cheese) - but I love the sauce so much that the pasta is the "sauce delivery system". :) -- nm - kelly Jul 2, 08:50 11
        
        Do you twirl the pasta into a ball to eat a bite? My italian ex- brother in law instructed me on this at age 12 - the ball of pasta is a much better - JenBro Jul 2, 09:05
        
        We ran out and had to use jar sauce. The 9 year old could tell the difference and was like "what's up with this crap?" -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 09:00 1
        
        I do love Newman's Own jarred sauce, but when I make it, I get so much out of it that I don't really have a need to buy jarred any more. -- nm - kelly Jul 2, 09:06
        
        mind reposting it? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 08:54 6
        
        Sure - CQ's sauce - -- (link) - kelly Jul 2, 08:58 [Backboard] 4

        thx! -- nm - Diva Jul 2, 09:40
        
        We can't find those specific tomatoes, so we just use a different brand. YMMV. -- nm - spamlet Jul 2, 09:02 1
        
        Yeah, I don't worry about the brand. I buy the huge cans of crushed tomatoes at Costco - they only offer one kind (Contadina?) - the sauce still turns - kelly Jul 2, 09:05
        
        i second and third this. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:55
        
        would it work on rice? -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:53
- Pasta with meatballs, no question. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 2, 08:45
- it's a win/win. you can't go wrong with either so at this point just do what's easiest. -- nm - Diva Jul 2, 08:42
- I love roasted red potatoes. mmmmmm. -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 08:37
- Pasta ... Always. -- nm - JenBro Jul 2, 08:34
- "OR"? -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:31
- pasta with chicken sausages. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:30 3
  - yes. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:32
  - This -- nm - amoxy Jul 2, 08:32
  - this. -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:31
- Both. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 08:30 2
  - (only if you're going to pick up and wash the dishes...) -- nm - kelly Jul 2, 08:33

- Know what I miss? Seeing 2 or 3 checks I wrote the same night at a given local pub that show drastically deteriorating penmanship! - JenBro Jul 2, 08:34 3
  - checks at a bar? hyster. -- nm - amanda Jul 2, 08:37 2
    - Read IM - had cash for the first one ... THEN had to write checks b/c we stayed! -- nm - JenBro Jul 2, 09:08
    - right? -- nm - znufrii Jul 2, 08:37
- You could have been with me. - Cheez-Its Jul 2, 08:29 4
  - I wasn't alone. - znufrii Jul 2, 08:30 3
    - Chicken wings? They do not deserve to be in your belly. -- nm - Cheez-Its Jul 2, 08:31 2
      - Just wondering out loud ... Is there a chicken wings cheese-its yet? -- nm - JenBro Jul 2, 08:35 1

Since there's been some Newsroom discussion the last couple of boards, I have a general question for folks: (slightish spoils) - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 08:20 12
- There were spontaneous songs outside the White House that evening -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 2, 09:08
- Relief. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 09:07
- I would say it reflects US reality that day pretty accurately. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 2, 08:45 1
  - I can appreciate the sentiment, so there's no judgment. I just had no idea the event had reached that level of celebration. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 08:51
- the same night, a huge crowd of GWU students gathered around the White House and were cheering. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:31
- the show is based in NYC right? - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:21 6
  - Maybe, but was it even like that in NYC? It felt decidedly odd in tone. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 08:30 5
    - I still get happy thinking about that night. I cheered loudly and everyone I saw in the streets was very happy. -- nm - Krusty Jul 2, 09:06 1
      - Thanks for weighing in (and Jack one post below). I appreciate giving the local context. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 10:16
    - [deleted]
    - i think it was, yes. ask krusty, or dawson. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:31
    - there seemed to be an age divide (note I was not in NYC). -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:31
woot! Remlik is about ready to stick it to the man! - Spawn Jul 2, 08:19 8
- the ads on that site speak to me directly. (Chargebee. Recurring billing for tiny startups.) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 2, 08:34
- it helps...thanks everyone. I doubt we win as the hippies come out and vote for Half Price books all the time... -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 08:30 1
  - you're gonna let the hippies defeat the nerds? -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:35
- can we vote multiple times? -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:29 3
  - I just tried and it wouldn't let me -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 08:32 1
    - look at the top of the board. -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:34
  - Will not know until I log back in from home tonight. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:31
- Never underestimate the power of ST! - JenBro Jul 2, 08:29

  - I find it incredible that anyone couldn't at this point. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 2, 08:21 11
    - [deleted] 9
      - I don't think we ever will. If there is life, it could have a good billion year head start, and yet there's no sign of them - Guigue Jul 2, 08:38
      - to be honest I don't think we want to make contact until we have Death Star level tech. - Mel Profit Jul 2, 08:29 7
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        "It's a cookbook!" -- nm - loosilu Jul 2, 08:35
        
        ok..clearly we wouldn't want Death Star Level tech, to easy to defeat, now Federation Tech I can get on board with. -- nm - Remlik Jul 2, 08:32 3

        or something like that, yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 2, 08:31
    - Listen up, maggots. You are not special. You are not a beautiful or unique snowflake. You're the same decaying organic matter as everything else. -- nm - Spawn Jul 2, 08:22
