Make your prediction. This signage company offers a 10% discount on orders over $250. I just asked if they would give 25% off on orders over $1000. - Dr.Vermin Jul 12, 17:00 5

- yes. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 12, 17:01 1
  - I like your optimism. Let's hope my assessments of much career acadmics know about the real world are unfounded. - Dr.Vermin Jul 12, 17:31

- KTVU always was one of the lesser Bay Area stations... - Stephen Jul 12, 16:51 2
  - not for news. they've won many awards. they're only lesser because, before Fox, they were unaffliated and in oakland; but - b. Jul 12, 16:55 1
    - I'd agree with this. -- nm - Stephen Jul 12, 16:57
- fwiw, KTVU is pretty much the best quality local tv news-provider in the area. I mean that in a no-low-set-bar way. - b. Jul 12, 16:51 2
  - yup, and unlike most local station news where the crews are as transient as waiters on a cruise ship, most folks who start there retire there -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 12, 17:44

  - Damnit, now I have to go to Home Depot to get a chainsaw! -- nm - Stephen Jul 12, 15:48 1
    - See if you can get a hybrid one. Despite documentary evidence to the contrary, I don't think a fuel-air mixture will work from inside the shark. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 15:55
oh, easy explanation for feeling anxious. 1.1L of coke. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 15:45
Does anyone shop Kohl's B&M rather than just online...or is it just ours that's so damned disorganized? -- nm - Meg Jul 12, 15:31 9

        The one's I go to aren't always neat and orderly, but more or less user friendly. - the liiouolu with a stray o Jul 12, 16:25
- I only shop kohls b&m. It's generally organized, I guess. -- nm - kelly Jul 12, 15:45

      - serious question: what does java have to do with porn? (I guess you meant flash) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 12, 15:34 1

Are there specific portions of the testing for police officers / detectives that cover human interaction? - JD Jul 12, 14:38 2
