  - I'm 100% non-involved in any of the ecosystems. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 08:28 1
    - I truthfully would have said a Nook but given the issues with the company, I'd avoid them. - spamlet Jun 25, 08:44

I know this is just me being a dick but... - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:17 6
- I do this too. But in the end, I want to link people to the better website (which is not always the originator) -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 08:37
- I think that's rather commendable -- nm - Jásdeando Jun 25, 08:32 1
  - this -- nm - OAE -- You Know Who Jun 25, 08:46
- If everyone is posting the original, it also helps the duplicate identifier avoid excessive mopping - oblique Jun 25, 08:22 1
  - I wonder if I could use pfm's levenshtein suggestion to improve that -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:23
- I don't disagree. - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:21
The Gunfighter, featuring Nick Offerman -- (link) - Reagen Jun 25, 08:12 [vimeo] 2
- Huh. I thought that was James Franco as the Gunfighter. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:47
- Eric Kissack. Hehehehehehhh. -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 08:13
OK, I've got 50 GB worth of music and the old iPhone I've got sitting around that I want to plug into my car can hold... let's see... 2 GB. No problem -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:08 21
- I can't even fathom have 50gb of music. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 08:16 7
  - I have around 40, but I recently re-ripped a lot of CDs to higher quality - con_carne Jun 25, 08:30 1
    - It's particularly easy if you do 320kbps or, ogg forbid, flac. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 08:42
  - I've got in the neighborhood of 110. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 08:20 3
    - I don't think I even have 2 -- nm - decline Jun 25, 08:21 2
      - I've got more than that of Rolling Stones songs. -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 08:24 1
        
        (My completionist tendecies run strong) -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 08:25
  - Yeah, I'm a little daunted. I thought I had 6-7. I need to check this. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:17
- You know, you could use it for streaming if you had a data plan ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:08 12
  - I've already got a phone. I don't need two phones. Anyway, the car is relatively dumb. It knows iPhones, it doesn't know streaming. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:13 11
    - Doesn't it have USB or other jacks? -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:15 10
      - Yeah, but the iPhone carries metadata. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:20 9

        I should have bought a Mustang! -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:31
        
        Apple sucks! -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:25
        
        (otherwise I have to use the aux jack... blah) -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:20 5
        
        Clearly you need to purchase a new car stereo with built in hard drive. That's the only option. -- nm - spamlet Jun 25, 08:28 2
        
        The cars with built-in hard drives are funny. Who uses that? -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:30 1
        
        I would. I keep a jump drive plugged into one of the slots and have the stereo map it which is about the same. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:39
        
        like a savage! -- nm - Reagen Jun 25, 08:25 1
        
        I know! -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 08:30
Question for a friend: What is necessary to fool a school into thinking you live in their district? -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:06 11
- rent a room from someone who agrees to let them be there in name only,single mom, unemp - zuitgusto Jun 25, 13:27
- Living in their district usually works. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 08:09 9
  - But say, you move ot of the district. What do you need to do to make them think you are still in it? -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:10 8
    - Canada Post lets you pay to have mail redirected to a new address, and I expect the US Mail does too. Just keep renewing the service if possible. Or.. - Zorcàs Jun 25, 08:21
    - continue to have a mailing address there. PO box probably won't work if looked into. - decline Jun 25, 08:15 5
      - is this for sports or for financial reasons? The liability for both if caught should be weighed carefully. -- nm - decline Jun 25, 08:16 3
        
        Neither. Kids do not want to change schools. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:26 2
        
        How long will they be in the school? - spamlet Jun 25, 08:29
        
        ah, gotcha. Yeah, probably just having some mail as confirmation might be enough -- nm - decline Jun 25, 08:28
      - That was what I thought. Thanks. Will let the friend know. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:15
    - have your address changed to a PO Box in the district? Watch Mighty Ducks, I think they dealt with school rezoning -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 08:11
REB2Will: For a while, on occasion I would have a sharp chest pain. - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:03 1

  - [deleted] 2
    - That wasn't directed at your comment, just in general. - spamlet Jun 25, 08:09 1
      - [deleted]
- FWIW, I agree with you. I was just laying out the argument on B2. - Inigo Jun 25, 08:02
so, allow me to overshare a major life event for me..... - groiny Jun 25, 07:52 40
- Good thoughts. :) -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 25, 08:42
- Good luck. -- nm - Jaxón Jun 25, 08:39
- You fought the good fight man. GL heading forward, sounds like the right thing to do - A. Moxxi Jun 25, 08:33
- Sending good thoughts to you. -- nm - Valdo DiZeni Jun 25, 08:23
- Good luck, man.. This sounds like it will be a huge stress load off. -- nm - colin Jun 25, 08:10
- Despite the stress and potential credit hit, there's a huge upside here: Your long housing nightmare will be over. Good luck :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:08
- [deleted] 3
  - I think you owe him a steak now too -- nm - oblique Jun 25, 08:06
  - my groiny is still working fine. -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 08:06 1
    - He really is grindr minded these days. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:07
- sorry you have to go through this and I'm sure the decision was not an easy one -- nm - Pippé Jun 25, 08:06
- Sorry you have to go through this, but knowing what you've been through it's truly for the best. -- nm - Meg Jun 25, 08:04 1
  - I am truly just tired of fighting it. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 08:07
- That sucks overall man, but it sounds like it's the right decision, especially in the long run. Hang in there. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 08:00 2
  - It doesn't actually suck. He's solving a bunch of problems and will walk taller - Zorcàs Jun 25, 08:01 1
    - It sucks in the short term, but is really good in the long run. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:03
- Onwards and upwards. - Spawnaldo Jun 25, 08:00
- It wasn't u/water, but I had to sell because we were behind on payments with no other way out. You'll be feeling much better after the burden is off. - Zorcàs Jun 25, 07:59
- You're doing the right thing. This time next year, you'll be looking at it all like a bad dream and wondering why you didn't do it sooner. -- nm - Mop (210 lbs) Jun 25, 07:58
- I think you're pretty great, wes. -- nm - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 25, 07:57 4
  - *blushes* -- nm - groiny Jun 25, 07:58 3
    - I also want to say that it's super impressive that you're actually planning on doing the short sale thing and not just walking away; - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 25, 08:16 2
      - this. You're trying to do the best thing for all involved, not just you. -- nm - spamlet Jun 25, 08:23
      - who knows if it is even a good option for me, but I am hoping it is. - groiny Jun 25, 08:19
- That's a huge step and does indeed sound like the best but it will be really hard - Jásdeando Jun 25, 07:56
- Will you rent or what? -- nm - David Jun 25, 07:55 12
  - my grandmother can no longer live by herself, so her house is currently vacant - groiny Jun 25, 07:57 11
    - that sounds perfect -- nm - Pippé Jun 25, 08:05
    - nice! - Zorcàs Jun 25, 08:03
    - sounds like a plan -- nm - decline Jun 25, 07:59
    - That sounds wonderful. -- nm - David Jun 25, 07:58 7
      - they were discussing putting her house up for sale, so I kinda swooped in with the plan. - groiny Jun 25, 08:02 6
        
        Nicely done. That really sounds like the best for everyone - Jásdeando Jun 25, 08:12
        
        Tremendous. Is it the same size as your current place. -- nm - David Jun 25, 08:03 4
        
        the rooms are smaller, but it is comparable. The lot is huge, but the house is only like 25% of the lot. - groiny Jun 25, 08:05 3
        
        This is clearly the right decision. -- nm - David Jun 25, 08:10 1
        
        it was kind of a now or never thing, I was concerned about where we were going to live. - groiny Jun 25, 08:16
        
        Solid. -- nm - Shaun Jun 25, 08:07
- That sucks so much, but you're doing the right thing. You're not a failure at all, dude. -- nm - Inigo Jun 25, 07:55 1
  - this. best of luck. -- nm - Beaker Jun 25, 07:57
it's so sad about caleb. -- nm - the ghost, lover of winter Jun 25, 07:51 2
- Yep. On a different note...you listen to the Top 20 yet? -- nm - Jim Jun 25, 08:09
- It really is. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 25, 08:06
So, our local voters voted out the Maryland GOP Senate leader becuase he crossed the aisle to work with Dems - Will Hunting Jun 25, 07:45 1
- The idiology that the opposition is "the enemy" has taken a strong hold on the party. - TWuG Jun 25, 08:06
Do not attempt to adjust your television. We are controlling transmission -- nm - con_carne Jun 25, 07:44
