Noted: running both a/c units, the fan, and the microwave is a recipe for a blown fuse -- nm - Tyego97 Jul 1, 12:10 5

        If anything, I'm decrying the hysteria of the decision. See the post that started the thread from HuffPo. -- nm - spamlet Jul 1, 12:23
      - but then again, you don't have a uterus either -- nm - decline Jul 1, 12:15 2

- Throw F1 up there with golf. -- nm - MDH Jul 1, 11:58
- I used to enjoy NCAA Basketball. I just can't get into any regular season games anymore. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 11:52 6
  - the whole one-and-done system has made NCAA bball alot less enjoyable imo -- nm - decline Jul 1, 11:53 5
    - So many of the games are just too difficult to watch. No sense of offense other than launching 3's. - Strongbad Jul 1, 11:55 4
      - Also, I have to fill you in on being at the Quicken Loans. But a highlight/lowlight has to be watching Slocum having a nervous breakdown. -- nm - MDH Jul 1, 12:00 1
        
        Going to a golf tourney is so much fun. My last was the 2011 PGA Championship where Keegan Bradley broke onto the scene. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 12:04
      - I agree with this. -- nm - MDH Jul 1, 11:58 1
        
        Plus my alma mater sucking for almost 10 years straight doesn't help. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 12:00

  - That's how I feel about the metric system and don't push it too much -- nm - Zorcàs Jul 1, 11:40 21
    - working in healthcare, I love the mcg/mg/gram/kg relationship. but metrics will never win for me till they get rid of that crazy celsius stuff -- nm - dogbert Jul 1, 11:45 3
      - Plus, centimeters are too short. They need to be longer. - prayformojo Jul 1, 11:56 2
        
        length has too many unused catagories (decimeter, hectometer) so I'll never use it, but I'll be willing to at least try it once celsius is gone -- nm - dogbert Jul 1, 12:02
        
        Or shorter, with no goalie. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 11:59
    - I understand the metric system, I just think it is a crass simplification for something that is not broken. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jul 1, 11:44 16
      - Plus, until they convert to measuring time in Centidays they're all hypocrites. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 12:01 3
        
        no see, we just have to decrease the time of a second by a factor of 11.6, then we can have 100 seconds in a minute, 100 minutes in an hour, and 100 - mafaça Jul 1, 12:07 1
        
        Strictly speaking, we'd probably have to go with ~3 milliyears per present-day day. -- nm - Ender Jul 1, 12:14
        
        xactly -- nm - prayformojo Jul 1, 12:03
      - The metric system is a bit more intuitive, being in base 10. And it has a basis in naturally occurring phenomena. - TWuG Jul 1, 11:47 1
        
        except that basis is flawed since the measurements were incorrect when they created the system -- nm - decline Jul 1, 11:52
      - I readily admit metric is better but I want it to become status quo the day after I die. - David Jul 1, 11:46
      - unless you do math with units. then it's broken. -- nm - mafaça Jul 1, 11:45 8
        
        pixie? -- nm - Spawnaldo Jul 1, 11:46 7
        
        the metric system is superior in all conceivable ways. -- nm - mafaça Jul 1, 11:47 6
        
        480p is superior in all conceivable ways. -- nm - hqmeister si Jul 1, 11:53
        
        hint - Spawnaldo Jul 1, 11:48 4
        
        I don't hate your inferior system, I feel compassion toward you for clinging to it. -- nm - mafaça Jul 1, 11:51 1
        
        Metric is the co-ed of students. - Spawnaldo Jul 1, 11:56

A college instructor is hitting on co-eds? Shocking! - Ender Jul 1, 11:27 13
- It puts the student in a no-win situation. If she declines, then her grade could suffer. If she attends and he makes advances which she rebuffs, her - TWuG Jul 1, 11:38 1
  - What if she goes and he helps her with her math and then they both go home with no advances of any kind? -- nm - Jim Jul 1, 12:07
- I don't think anyone finds it shocking, but it's still a potentially harmful situation, and shouldn't just be accepted as the norm. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 11:36
- I honestly thought that was one of the reasons to teach. -- nm - Spawnaldo Jul 1, 11:30 4
  - It's not like he'd be serving her liver with fava beans at this picnic. He's going to ask her back to his house for some wine. - Ender Jul 1, 11:38 3
    - Position of power. I guess a boss can do this to his employee? -- nm - Bacon via Google Phone Jul 1, 11:45 2
      - Well, it WOULD be weirder if a boss offered to tutor his employee in math. - Ender Jul 1, 12:07
      - as long as he takes away her access to birth control as well. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 12:01
- Tangent: how come coeds only refers to women? -- nm - Roger More Jul 1, 11:29 3

        Sleep. Is. Where. He's. A. Viking. - David Jul 1, 11:42 7
        
        no, it's literally where he's a viking. when he goes to sleep, he dreams he's a viking. - mafaça Jul 1, 11:43 6
        
        I HOPE YOU DIE IN A FIRE FOLLOWED BY AN EARTHQUAKE FOLLOWED BY A TSUNAMI! -- nm - David Jul 1, 11:45 5
