      - Dehumanising people, and theorising that they are not deserving? It sure does help people live with themselves. -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 11:11 1
        
        yup -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 11:16
      - If you view poverty as a character flaw then being poor is a choice. - TWuG Aug 22, 11:10
Beaker, Josh P., Shaun -- nm - Stephen Aug 22, 10:56 2

They one thing missed in the earlier Vick/Freeman discussion is bye weeks. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 22, 10:54 3
- [deleted]
- and it is only one week, so if needs be, just pick up the best available QB the week before the Bye week. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 10:56 1
  - this -- nm - Beaker Aug 22, 11:01
I just made a unix/linux alias for a Magic Eightball generator - zork Aug 22, 10:51 1
- Now figure out a way to make it work with the Inception noise button -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 10:53
My summer stalker gift just arrived - including a sample of gold. After I dial 1-800-Cash4Gold, I'll be rich! - Roger More Aug 22, 10:45 2
- Those customs forms really take the 'secret' out of 'secret stalker'. :) - Dr.Vermin, Aug 22, 10:59 1
  - Without that, I would have figured it was from the other Alaskan who posts on ST. -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 11:06
Damn, *that* guy is always hurt. Him too. Him too. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 10:45 1
- I'm looking for just one of them to hit. We're at that point of the draft and I'm building for 2014 already. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 22, 10:50
Vamps: Walt, NWBRx2, kelly, JD -- nm - budice Aug 22, 10:44 1
- Walt's at 30 minutes. Did he send in a draft card? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 22, 11:03
Hmm, someone just emailed me with a link removal request because google is "penalizing" them for slackertalk linking to their site. Interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:42 36
- Are they saying that Google thinks it was linked here specifically to manipulate the page rank? -- nm - mara Aug 22, 10:46 23
  - And I'm not sure if I mentioned this, but the switch from google ads to amazon 4 years ago was spurred on by basically the same email ... - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:52
  - When you are threatened with THE PENALIZER, you don't ask questions -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 10:48
  - kinda (email inside) - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:47 8
    - As an fyi, do not contact them. There are scams along these lines. - David Aug 22, 11:09 1
      - Thx. Responding to emails is not my forté, so that won't be an issue. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:10
    - Can you respond to them like this: - Jim Aug 22, 10:50 2
      - I assume that they have google ads on their site - if that's the case, ST could actually be a detriment to their revenue stream. Google is fickle. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:09
      - right. i would. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 11:08
    - Plus we're low-quality! Shoot. -- nm - mara Aug 22, 10:49 2
      - How dare they call us that! Berry lets DoS their ass -- nm - decline Aug 22, 10:50 1
        
        seriously, if this means we have the power to take down sites we don't like, I'll start drawing up a list. -- nm - Max Aug 22, 10:56
  - Yes and it is because there are three exact copies of ST. That makes it look fake. -- nm - David Aug 22, 10:47 11
    - I'll add the nofollow & set canonicalized links per this ... -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:50 3
      - now you're just making up words....nm - x Aug 22, 11:09
      - Yeah, I was going to suggest nofollow as the easiest solution to this. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 11:07 1
        
        Nofollow should fix the SEO garbage, canonical should fix the search results (and hopefully nuke much of the cruft) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:08
    - More than three. At least five, counting the "www". But they all have robots.txt that disables indexing ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:48 6
      - We had an SEO tell us that there were over 50k links to HWDYK from ST. -- nm - David Aug 22, 11:06 3
        
        But seriously, I'll add nofollow to the sidebar as well -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:06
        
        you need an SEO to tell you that? -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 11:06
        
        "Is that good or bad?" -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:06
      - suuuuuurrre they do. we're all just pawns in your shifty little game, aren't we?....nm - x Aug 22, 10:50 1
        
        We're all part of the Bery syndicate, and everyone gets a share. -- nm - Inigo Aug 22, 11:01
- I think I'll add a "nofollow" to all the external links from posts -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:43
- Quick pos the link!! -- nm - decline Aug 22, 10:43 1
  - /s/pos/post/g -- nm - decline Aug 22, 10:43
- So, what link? :) -- nm - Jim Aug 22, 10:43
- Ooh, ooh! Was I the linker? -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 10:42 7
  - Ender and Andie were mentioned in the email -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:43 6
    - i feel like such a rebel. -- nm - Andie Aug 22, 11:10
    - [deleted] 4
      - It's because of this post -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 22, 10:45 [Backboard] 3
        
        meh. ancient history. - zork Aug 22, 10:48 2
        
        You clicked it? Kind of a dick move. I copied and pasted the URL. -- nm - mara Aug 22, 10:50 1
        
        I can see the date of the post without clicking that URL - zork Aug 22, 10:54

and now I suddenly got the urge to go and get taco bell for lunch. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 10:38 2
- [deleted] 1
  - ...and that got rid of it. thanks! - znufrii Aug 22, 10:40
charlie and I went out to grab lunch. we were so deep in conversation that when it came, we paid and left - amanda Aug 22, 10:34 1
- The Double Stuff scandal is an engrossing bit of current events -- nm - con_carne Aug 22, 10:51
I just started an upload of 120 photos to Flickr...I should find something else to do for a while, huh? :) -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 10:34 4
- I wanted to upload all my pictures with the new 1TB limit, but I can't seem to find a way to upload an entire folder. (via desktop browser) - JaxSean Aug 22, 10:43 3
  - I use the Flickr Uploader program on the Mac. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 10:58 1
    - Me too. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 22, 11:04
  - This is a complete folder, but I open the folder, select all, and open. -- nm - Meg Aug 22, 10:45
The Nasdaq was halted about 20 min ago for a technical problem. Nothing is trading at the moment -- nm - decline Aug 22, 10:34 2

  - I CAN'T!!! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 22, 10:39
Walt, back to me for a pair, Kelly, JD... -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 22, 10:31
Vermin, I'd say it's quite easy to blame the dealers. A disruption to your business model is not a legitimate reason to legislate against it. - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 22, 10:29 5
- You make good points. I revise my comment to "I empathize with the dealers..." - Dr.Vermin, Aug 22, 10:57
- Did you listen to the PM podcast about it? - spamlet Aug 22, 10:53
- I mostly agree - but should point out that new business models don't necessarily lead to more payroll or tax income. - Roger More Aug 22, 10:36
- Whatever happened to the free market? -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 10:34 1
  - L3 -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 10:34
LYC. Back from Taco Bell. is today the day they got it right? - loosilu Aug 22, 10:29 39
- That DNA test was startlingly accurate -- nm - Roger More Aug 22, 11:03
- like we care!....nm - x Aug 22, 11:01
- Better not tell you now -- nm - Magic Eight Ball Aug 22, 10:36
- Go inside and order -- nm - amoxy Aug 22, 10:32 5
  - See yesterday's version of this same thread. -- nm - spamlet Aug 22, 10:54
  - Or, check your order before you pull away and give the wrong shit back to them. -- nm - Jim Aug 22, 10:44
  - that's not the game, amoxy. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:33 2
    - Then I don't understand the game -- nm - amoxy Aug 22, 10:35 1
      - [deleted]
- Today is NOT THE DAY. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:32 17
  - You need to say it like Maury. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 10:34
  - "...and she keeps coming back!" -- nm - Taco Bell staff Aug 22, 10:33 2
    - it's not even the same people at the window! -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:33 1
      - they have a pool going in the backroom to see how long it will take before you stop coming. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 10:34
  - what are you ordering that they are messing up??? -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 10:32 12
    - Every day I order Baja and they give me supreme. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:33 11
      - Ahhh the definition of insanity. -- nm - Shaun Aug 22, 10:53
      - are you calling them after the fact? - groiny Aug 22, 10:35 9
        
        baja is no sour cream or tomatos; plus baja sauce. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:36 7
        
        I seriously almost NEVER hit drive thru's. - groiny Aug 22, 10:37 6
        
        nor I -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 10:42
        
        plus it is a waste of gas (times every car to go through it) and likely slower than walking in -- nm - zork Aug 22, 10:41 2
        
        most restaurants prioritize the drive through, for food -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:41 1
        
        sure (which I hate) but if there is a line of cars you'll still get done faster inside -- nm - zork Aug 22, 10:46
        
        Just like Leo Getz said - Brian Aug 22, 10:40
        
        I just really hate parking at this one. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:38
        
        oh, if she complains on the website, she'll get free things. -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 10:35
- Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 22, 10:30 6
  - I keep eating at McDonald's and yet expect to lose weight. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 22, 10:39
  - what if I'm expecting the same results? -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:32 3
    - then maybe go elsewhere? -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 10:35 2
      - you seem to think I'm asking for advice. I'm not. -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:36
      - it's taco bell, you have to go there. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 10:36
  - mmhmmm -- nm - amanda Aug 22, 10:31
- the good thing about Taco Bell, is even if they get it wrong, it all tastes the same. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 10:30 1
  - pretty much1 -- nm - loosilu Aug 22, 10:32
- at some point you should just cut your losses. -- nm - znufrii Aug 22, 10:29 2
  - Like Kenny Rogers use to say - eag Aug 22, 10:32 1
    - ...don't take your love to town. -- nm - Dr.Vermin, Aug 22, 11:03

And just to get in people's heads during Blood Feud, here is ESPN's list of the top 10 overrated fantasy RBs... - David Aug 22, 10:25 8
- I was debating between Ingram and another RB for a while - Brian Aug 22, 10:35
- I have three with a combined "ADP vs. Rank" drop of nine spots. Considering how inexact a science this is, I can live with it. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 22, 10:31
- I do not own any of those. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 22, 10:29
- Woohoo! Only drafted one! - spamlet Aug 22, 10:28 2
  - I tried to pull the trigger on Ivory twice but... -- nm - David Aug 22, 10:29 1
    - He was rated #1 on my draft board for about 3 rounds before I took him. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 10:30
- [deleted]
- *checks draft list* Dammit. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 22, 10:27

Blood Feud drafts really need to be 2-3 rounds longer. There are so many players left that I want. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 22, 10:25 4
- I felt like this was the thinnest draft in five years, which speaks to the quality of rookies combined with the injury status of potential sleepers. -- nm - David Aug 22, 10:26 2
  - I've held my nose drafted each and every running back thus far. - Will Hunting Aug 22, 10:28
  - Agreed. It's going to be a long season. -- nm - nubby Aug 22, 10:27
- no. -- nm - samara Aug 22, 10:25
