Woman loses key to chastity belt, asks fire department to help cut her free. Wait, that headline is missing a key piece of information. -- (link) - Mop Jan 19, 09:10 3

Can someone tell me why if I type in opentable.com into my browser it says the website can't be found, but if I google it, and click on the Open Table - pmb Jan 19, 09:00 8
- what happens when you type www.opentable.com ? -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:04 7
  - That works. Why? I don't have to type in www for any other websites. -- nm* - pmb Jan 19, 09:04 6
    - it's a problem with how opentable set up their domain -- nm - decline Jan 19, 09:09
    - "www" is the hostname. Some sites configure just the domain name to also be a hostname. Some sites don't, and are stupid. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 19, 09:08 4
      - Interesting. That's really stupid for a pretty popular website. -- nm - pmb Jan 19, 09:10 1
        
        Part of the problem is that standard DNS allows you to do things with hostnames like www that aren't easy to do with just the domain name. - Beryllium Jan 19, 09:14
      - I just set up our @ record today. :) -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 09:09 1

LIR - the *only* use for ketchup is on french fries, or maybe corned beef hash. -- nm - Meg Jan 19, 08:59 2
- Atlanta Brisket uses a bottle of ketsup and a can or two of coke -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 19, 13:36

    - I seriously never eat anything there with meat on it anymore. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 08:52 4
      - chicken is meat -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 08:53 3
        
        I did not say that I eat the chicken, just that those are the low cal options. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 08:55 2
        
        I'm being good. I have my salad for lunch. Coworker is tempting me but I made the sign of the cross and told him to flee before me - oblique Jan 19, 08:57 1
        
        nice. I used to live there when I was doing the low cal thing when I dropped about 40 - groiny Jan 19, 09:00

  - yeah. they have been for quite awhile now. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 09:07 2
    - Really, really bitter that we lost AXS. - David Jan 19, 09:08 1
      - oh that stinks. yeah they had some good concerts on there. I'm bummed I don't get Palludiaum anymore -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 09:13

- The Mountain by David Lynn Golemon -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 08:46 2
  - I really enjoy Golemon's stuff -- nm - decline Jan 19, 08:47 1
    - I generally do too. I thought his most recent wasn't the best, and this is a little slow though (200 pages in). Hopefully it picks up :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 08:52
- 28 Barbary Lane -- nm - amoxy Jan 19, 08:46 1

deficit hawk Paul Ryan's Congress will increase the federal budget deficit for the first time in six years, thanks to the tax-break extension deal -- nm - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 08:43 7
- That doesn't make any sense since all of those breaks were in place each of the six years. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 08:57 6
  - it accounts for the increase relative to the previous 2016 projection, not the delta from the 2015 actual. -- nm - znufrii Jan 19, 09:11 1
    - Yeah, I saw that and explained the same below. -- nm - spamlet Jan 19, 09:12
  - Maybe, and I'm just spitballing here, spending increased this year? - TWuG Jan 19, 09:01 1
    - But it wouldn't be specifically because of the reason cited. -- nm - iSpam Jan 19, 09:06
  - you should call the CBO and tell them -- (link) - slipping jimmy Jan 19, 08:59 1
    - They're explaining its higher than the August estimate because CBO has to follow enacted law but that's not the explanation why the deficit is up. -- nm* - iSpam Jan 19, 09:09
I had to look up "wazook". -- (link) - Mop Jan 19, 08:39 1
- You spelt it wrong. Personally I haven't heard it used in years, it's like a schoolground insult word. -- nm - LMS Jan 19, 08:54
Radio station played two Michael McDonald songs back-to-back this morning and for a moment I thought "Oh no!" -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 08:35 7

- Let me guess, they all raved over it? -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 08:29 3
  - yeah. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 08:31 2
    - Least shocking news ever. I never trust these fan events. That said, I'm very excited to see it. -- nm - MDH Jan 19, 08:32 1
      - oh me neither....but that website will print the negative as well -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 08:33

  - I think all of ST should experience a good dose of winter. -- nm - ML Jan 19, 08:29 3
    - I would prefer it hit on Monday instead of Friday please. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 08:31 2
      - yeah, totally gonna fubar my weekend -- nm - decline Jan 19, 08:32 1
        
        Based on the tendency for precipitation forecasts to get pushed back, I expect we'll probably be working on Friday and get the bulk of the snow Sat. -- nm - Max Jan 19, 09:05
Save Mandy Lane - prayformojo Jan 19, 08:26 1

- If you don't have to shrink the partition first, it's a piece of cake. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 08:16 2
  - I like easeus tools for the job. Always done it with their free version even with weird partition changes though this one was a straight copy -- nm - oblique Jan 19, 08:19 1
    - I believe I used EaseUS the previous time, but this last time it gave me trouble. -- nm - Mop Jan 19, 08:20

I kind of miss being excited for Destiny reset day. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 08:09 21
- yeah, really no point now, other than maybe raid reset. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 08:15 20
  - I suppose I could try to get the Golgoroth challenge done. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 08:22 19
    - I tried Hard Mode with some dudes I was playing trials with, it did not go well -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 08:36 18
      - Where did you stall out? -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 08:38 17
        
        at the damn totems. - groiny Jan 19, 08:40 16
        
        I still have never done the raid -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 08:42 6
        
        it is frustrating, but at this point, I need to do it to go up in light level. -- nm - groiny Jan 19, 08:44 5
        
        how long does it take? -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 08:53 4
        
        seriously, it should only take maybe 2 hours, but we have some issues.... - groiny Jan 19, 09:02
        
        it depends on how good your team is.... - groiny Jan 19, 08:55 2
        
        I'm gonna remember that when I meet Lauren Cohen without you. -- nm - Remlik Jan 19, 09:08
        
        Burn. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 09:02
        
        I try to avoid that part if possible. Unless you are seriously trying to farm a ghost or the fusion rifle, it's pretty pointless for gear. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 08:41 8
        
        true, but I still would like to know how to do it. - groiny Jan 19, 08:45 7
        
        Hell, even I got that part down. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:02
        
        It's simple, but it still requires execution from everyone, which is a huge problem sometimes. - Shaun Jan 19, 08:49 5
        
        Setting up a system for clearing the boomers on each side seemed to help when I was doing it. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:03 4
        
        clearing the boomers is a critical piece. - groiny Jan 19, 09:03 3
        
        Only the person staying on the saide should even worry about them unless the timer gives the 2nd person enough time to throw a shot or two up there. -- nm - Shaun Jan 19, 09:07 2
        
        When I did successfully, we were doing just that. Both people getting shots on them. -- nm - Spawn Jan 19, 09:10 1
        
        The boomers and the wizards, aside from the yellow knights near the end, should be the only troublesome enemies. - Shaun Jan 19, 09:13
