- i wouldn't assume. i would ask you to clarify. -- nm - Diva Oct 10, 08:59
- It would depend largely on the reasoning for the change. -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:57
- I'd ask, but I think I'd think that next Friday is more likely. I *think* I'd say tomorrow if I meant tomorrow. - mara Oct 10, 08:57 1

- tomorrow -- nm - decline Oct 10, 08:54

- do your face next! -- nm - Mike Tyson Oct 10, 08:42 2
  - We tried that. -- nm - Chris Brown Oct 10, 08:57
  - "Okay, Mike, traditionally how this goes is we put ink on a glove and punch you in the face repeatedly. Now, this is a tattoo so you can't react." -- nm - (this is gonna be awesome) Oct 10, 08:45

I don't know if it was posted here, but T-Mobile went all in last night. 115 countries with free text and data coverage and $.20 phone calls. -- (link) - spamlet Oct 10, 08:28 3
- Just checked the coverage and basically everywhere where I would be travelling is covered. This is fantastic. - spamlet Oct 10, 08:32 2
  - To bad their coverage in the US is so awful. -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:33 1
    - It's fine around here. A little sketchy in the rural areas but I'm not out there all that often. -- nm - spamlet Oct 10, 08:34

  - and in the NFL, like 10-12 pt dogs win all the freaking time. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 09:01
- I've seen it at 17:1 - Reagen Oct 10, 08:55
- so a guranteed 1.5% return on your investment -- nm - decline Oct 10, 08:52 1
  - yeah but if the unthinkable happens, that's 166 wins at the same level you just wiped out. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 08:57

ST Poll: How many smoke detectors are in your place of residence? - oblique Oct 10, 08:17 44

- 3 in my tiny 2 bedroom apartment -- nm - decline Oct 10, 08:53
- 3 - one for each floor...all by the stairs. -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 10, 08:43
- 3. (2 of those are CO detectors as well.) -- nm - kelly Oct 10, 08:37
- At least 2 that I can think of. I think 2. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 10, 08:24 2
  - (1 story ~1400 SF) -- nm - Strongbad Oct 10, 08:25
  - And 1 CO monitor. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 10, 08:24

- 9 - znufrii Oct 10, 08:21 25
  - that seems like overkill. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:21 24
    - You need 1 per bedroom, usually get 1 other per floor. -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 08:25 22
      - huh. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:28 18
        
        In Illinois and Ohio it's law that each bedroom get a smoke detector. -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 08:31 17
        
        *gives myself a ticket* nm -- nm - groiny Oct 10, 08:33 16
        
        The law targets builders and landlords, not residents. But detectors are cheap. You should get 1 for - TWuG Oct 10, 08:36 15
        
        I wish my parents would get more. They have one for the whole house and it's downstairs, nowhere near the kitchen or bedrooms. - loosilu Oct 10, 08:39 14
        
        Get them some and instal them yourself. They have 10 year models that don't need - TWuG Oct 10, 08:42 6
        
        it's ... not like that. - loosilu Oct 10, 08:43 5
        
        TORCH THAT SHIT, teach them a lesson. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 10, 08:48
        
        Start a fire. - Spawn Oct 10, 08:48 3
        
        that actually still wouldn't change her mind. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:49 2
        
        Well for one, you and your siblings should refuse to sleep there. -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:51
        
        well, no, they would be crispy. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 10, 08:51
        
        christmas present idea! (i am getting leak detectors for my family - like leak frogs, but a different version.) -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 08:40 6
        
        my brother is a volunteer firefighter and he has tried. - loosilu Oct 10, 08:41 5
        
        Just put them up. Your family is strangely paralyzed by extremely stupid shit. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 08:44 4
        
        you don't understand. you put one up, it goes away. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:45 3
        
        because...? -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 08:57
        
        Your parents are stupid. No offense. -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 08:45 1
        
        one of them is crazy. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:46
      - How many floors do you think casa de znu has? -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:27 2
        
        Apparently 4, judging by his IM. -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 08:30 1
        
        Ah. I never read his posts. But 4 floors? The boy has lost it. -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:31
    - It's what came with the house. *shrug* -- nm - znufrii Oct 10, 08:24
- 2 -- nm - budice Oct 10, 08:20
- so, so many... -- nm - Diva Oct 10, 08:20 1
  - right??! -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 10, 08:25
- 2. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 08:19
- 1 in a one bedroom apartment. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:19
- 4 -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:18
NFL/Vegas: Of the 10 largest point spreads in NFL history, the favorites covered just twice. -- nm - budice Oct 10, 08:16 2
- I don't want to be too cavelier about point shaving, but big spreads must be *really* tempting to players and coaches. -- nm - mara Oct 10, 08:17 1
  - I would agree. I also think the larger the spread, the easier to affect with anyone noticing. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 10, 09:14
well that was completely counter-intuitive - znufrii Oct 10, 08:16
The Tea Party politicians : kamikaze pilots, or modern day Bob la Follette? -- (link) - mara Oct 10, 08:16 2
- wait, who's han solo in this analogy? -- nm - mafic Oct 10, 08:22 1
  - The guy that does the right thing in the end. So, not any Tea Party person. Ever. -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 08:26
Gross. Flesh eating drug? Who are these people? -- (link) - oblique Oct 10, 08:08 3
- I strongly recommend not googling images of that. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:17
- what you have there is 23% pure. - Heisenberg Oct 10, 08:15
- Heroin users, mostly, who don't realize they're paying heroin prices for something much cheaper for the supplier to make or get. - mara Oct 10, 08:14
YDC, but Alice Munro made me wonder if Canadian literature was American or English literature in the Dewey Decimal System. (spoiler) - mara Oct 10, 08:04 9
- I wonder if they'll ever revise the Dewey Decimal system. It's very "800-889 European cultures. 890-899 Rest of the world" -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 08:27 5
  - It's being continually revised. Comparing today's with the original is really interesting. - mara Oct 10, 08:37 4
    - Not just that class - the 000s and the 400s use the same system, and the 200s are 220-289 Christianity, 290-299 all other religions - Roger More Oct 10, 08:58 1
      - I think it might be a little more complicated that you think. It's sort of like saying sports are more important than they used to be so they - mara Oct 10, 09:13
    - How did occult and paranormal get into the philosophy section, you wonder? - mara Oct 10, 08:48 1
      - Ooo, idea for Bery. Two link fields. -- nm - mara Oct 10, 08:49
- gasp -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:08 1
  - I shouldn't have said it *is* American or English, I meant to say is *with*. -- nm - mara Oct 10, 08:11
- I knew this. - Spawn Oct 10, 08:04
Meanwhile, the debate about what is "un-Canadian" continues -- (link) - Roger More Oct 10, 08:01 11
- this is so old man yells at cloud. I love it. -- nm - mafic Oct 10, 08:15
- what the...huh? -- nm - znufrii Oct 10, 08:08
- i actually dislike leaf-blowers, but they are hardly Canadian or Un-Canadian. People are crazy with definitions. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 08:04 8
  - My rule of thumb is that if you have to resort to "un-whatever" to describe why something is bad, you don't really have an argument -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 08:30 1
    - good rule. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 08:33
  - My leaf blower is electric so fuck that guy. Plus he probably doesn't even know what a rake looks like. -- nm - Shaun Oct 10, 08:20
  - You have, like, a leaf on your flag. -- nm - Spawn Oct 10, 08:05 4
    - Yeah, I thought Leaf Blowers was a phrase used to describe people who display overly extreme Canadian patriotism. -- nm - pmb Oct 10, 08:08 1
      - Maybe they're people who like to give oral to Canadians! -- nm - mara Oct 10, 08:15
    - and the money smells like maple. -- nm - loosilu Oct 10, 08:08
    - and the wind blows on the flag - maybe leaf blowers are the ULTIMATE canadian symbol! -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 08:06

- It'll be a long time before the internet invents something so marvelously weird and funny. - Mel Profit Oct 10, 08:04
~and now you're one of us, The Wretched, The Wretched~ -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 10, 08:01 3
- interestingly enough I am now listening to (and trying to rehearse the lead on) Karen Clark-Sheard's 'Rejoice & Be Glad'. - Diva Oct 10, 08:11 2
  - agreed... - Mel Profit Oct 10, 08:24 1
    - ik, r? yay!! -- nm - Diva Oct 10, 08:36
