Mailing my taxes. Should I go with return receipt or escalate to certified? -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 13:18 5
- I wouldn't bother. -- nm - spamlet Mar 24, 13:42
- do you owe? that would be the only reason to RR or certify imo -- nm - decline Mar 24, 13:21
- don't you need to send it certified if you want a return receipt? -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 13:19 2
  - Not exactly. According to USPS, they're two different things. -- nm - Mop Mar 24, 13:21 1
    - Nope. "Return Receipt Return receipt is an add-on service that goes with certified, registered, insured or express mail." -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:24
I think next we should determine how paper beats rock...becuase really, the paper ain't doing anything to that rock - Will Hunting Mar 24, 13:13 6
- it camouflages it so you don't know you have it as a weapon. -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:17 3
  - *tests out his arm* Hey, look at that, rock beats zork. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 13:20 2
    - It only took you 10 years. Now try beating Zork II without a cheat book. -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:22 1
      - Dammit, I just realised that the response should have been "and Grue beats Hunting" -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:24
- L3! - Epiphany Mar 24, 13:15
- Suffocates it. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:14
Joseph Gilgun as Cassidy in Preacher. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:12
So LastPass stores all my passwords but won't tell me what they are when I log in from another computer? That's crap. -- nm - Max Mar 24, 13:11 4
- Something with your setup is wrong - prayformojo Mar 24, 13:17 3
  - I can copy the password since I've now installed LP on this computer, but I don't want to have to do that with every computer. - Max Mar 24, 13:26 2
    - I think you can do that by going to lastpass.com. -- nm - spamlet Mar 24, 13:36 1
      - That's what I'm saying, without installing, just going to lastpass.com shows me obscured passwords that don't copy to the clipboard correctly - Max Mar 24, 13:59
My daddy always said: Always marry a good CD. F- all all of a series. You can K a movie if you have to. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:09

- 8 minutes, that's just terrible. -- nm - Andie Mar 24, 13:13
- so they knew for a full 8 minutes the end was mutherfucking nigh? - Epiphany Mar 24, 13:11
- The stuff I saw this morning showed that it was a steady descent (at a reasonable rate) but nothing like a fall -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:11 4
  - [deleted] 2
    - this is what can happen when you fly strangers in the alps -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 13:18 1
      - Maybe William Shatner was on the plane - zork Mar 24, 13:21
  - I owuld think it would have to be. At 8 minutes if it were a rapid descent, you would run out of sky way too soon. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:13
- ugh -- nm - prayformojo Mar 24, 13:10
- just awful. the plane was smashed to bits -- nm - Remlik Mar 24, 13:09
Ted Cruz is signing up for Obamacare as a result of his wife taking a leave of absence. -- nm - MDH Mar 24, 12:59 9
- Um, he's still a Senator, right? He would get his healthcare through the US government plan. -- nm - spamlet Mar 24, 13:00 7
  - [deleted] 3
    - Yep. This exactly. All Members of Congress and staff have to go through the DC Exchange. - ReluctantCynic Mar 24, 13:11 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        I just laugh at the irony. I also expect this to now be used by him as a sign of his outrage. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 13:19
  - Which I get is technically through the marketplaces but that's a stretch. -- nm - spamlet Mar 24, 13:02 2
    - It's not a stretch. This was one of the cornerstones of Obamacare. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Mar 24, 13:12
    - He gets health coverage through his *job* like god intended -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 13:03
- "you couldn't have told me this two days ago?" -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 13:00
omg I want this dog Fritz. Im literally in tears watching this video (link) - Jovian Mar 24, 12:58
Your Assholes Of The Day: Four dine-and-dashers at an Anaheim restaurant run down waitress, a mother of two, skipping a $45 bill -- (link) - con_carne Mar 24, 12:49 11
- he suspects were identified as Rowshaid Pellum, 24, Cerritos; Markeisha Williams, 18, Long Beach; Shyteice Miles, 19, Long Beach and Santeea Ralph, 23 - amanda Mar 24, 13:03 3
  - "defrauding an innkeeper, a legal term used to describe the act of obtaining food from a restaurant without paying." -- nm - con_carne Mar 24, 13:13
  - those aren't real names, are they? -- nm - decline Mar 24, 13:11 1
    - see the article. it's insane. -- nm - amanda Mar 24, 13:11
- clearly a flight risk and shows callus disregard for life -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 12:58
- *by a car.* I assumed "run down" meant the diners knocked her over as they ran to the door. -- nm - Max Mar 24, 12:53 2
  - I did too. -- nm - Krusty Mar 24, 13:00
  - Think they would have said "knocked over" in that case. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 12:54
- (Waitress will be OK but will probably miss work for a while for cuts/bruises on her leg) -- nm - con_carne Mar 24, 12:52 2
  - And she will probably lose her job for not being able to work. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 12:53 1
    - Can't have it both ways -- nm - professor smartbrain Mar 24, 13:02
the cast of Brad Pitt's head? starting bid $100 - NO bids yet! -- (link) - Andie Mar 24, 12:42 2

- which head? -- nm - budice Mar 24, 12:43
oh shit....Gen Con just threatened the Indiana Gov and State Legislature... -- (link) - Remlik Mar 24, 12:41 1

- MFK -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 12:46
- Who? Yes, please. Who? -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 12:45 5
  - Kelly was in Weird Science - zork Mar 24, 12:47 4
    - And subsequently the "don't hate me because I'm beautiful" ads IIRC -- nm - con_carne Mar 24, 13:03
    - how does he not know this?! -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 13:00 1
      - it was almost exactly 30 years ago, so he was probably one of those horny little maniacs -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 13:02
    - So, what would you little maniacs like to do first? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 24, 12:50
- FMK -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 12:44
- FMK -- nm - Jovian Mar 24, 12:41 30
  - This, but damn it would be difficult not to F Jessica. -- nm - zork Mar 24, 12:46 29
    - You people have an incorrect definition of Marriage. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 12:47 28
      - OK, let's call it Arranged Marriage (and you find out they are a cold fish). Or maybe we should make it FZK ... - zork Mar 24, 13:09
      - "That's not how it works! That's not how *any* of this works!" -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 12:55
      - exactly. I will never understand. I always assume that M means Marry, which translates to F anytime. Where as F is just a one shot deal. -- nm - Jovian Mar 24, 12:50 22
        
        in order for the game to work, there has to be a downside to each option. -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 13:11
        
        we arg...DISCUSS..this all the time - its a one night stand, sexless marriage but friendship and a bullet to the head -- nm - Epiphany Mar 24, 12:58 18
        
        Okay, lets see you sleep with a man the rest of your life and not have sex with him. - Ultron Mar 24, 13:05 9
        
        oh HELL NO. haa. Its just for game instruction purposes. it forces you to really think about who is boinkable and who is someone that you want around - Epiphany Mar 24, 13:11 5
        
        But that is not how it works. The question is, who do you only want a one-off with, who do you not want for anything and who do you want for it all? -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:17 3
        
        I think we all got different ideas on the rules - not sure if there is even a rules list - but I think it still - Epiphany Mar 24, 13:23
        
        "Sorry Amy about your migraine and the surgery you had yesterday but I'm boinking you right now" -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:19 1
        
        If that is my decision, then yes. But it would not be. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:25
        
        New name for the game is BZK or BFK, Boink-Friend/Zone-Kill -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:13
        
        Pippy is not representative of most females - zork Mar 24, 13:06 2
        
        :P - Epiphany Mar 24, 13:13 1
        
        mwah -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:15
        
        but it makes no sense! see my example below when applied to other things than people -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 12:59 7
        
        You can choose to marry someone but you don't just choose for them to have sex with you anytime *you* want it. -- nm - zork Mar 24, 13:05 5
        
        Uh... then that is not really marriage. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:14 3
        
        you're not really f*cking them or shooting them in the head, either. -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 13:17 2
        
        But you are in the game. You are either marrying them, f-ing them or killing them. Try to keep up, znu. -- nm - Ultron Mar 24, 13:18 1
        
        and "in the game" they use the cultural trope of the stereotypical "sexless" marriage, not some fantasy-ideal that you have concocted in your own head -- nm - znufrii Mar 24, 13:21
        
        I think we would have come to an arrangement during the courtship that variesfrom never -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 13:08
        
        All I know for this example is I'm not asking to borrow any of your DVD/CD's...perv. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 24, 13:01
        
        it makes it easier when using the one below with a TV show, a movie and an album - Beaker Mar 24, 12:53
        
        exactly -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 12:51
      - exactly -- nm - Beaker Mar 24, 12:48 2
        
        That's not how I'd define it but I'm just playing the game by the rules - zork Mar 24, 12:50 1
        
        There is no spoon. - Jovian Mar 24, 12:51
It just occurred to me my username sort of looks like "cocaine." I'm not sure how I feel about that -- nm - con_carne Mar 24, 12:36 1
- only someone whacked out of the skull on coke would confuse a delicious stew with a white powder - zeitgeist Mar 24, 12:45
