Proud dad moment. Picking up my son (4) and daughter yesterday from daycare, his teacher asked me if I saw his workpapers yet (I did not). She went on - HdnAgnda Apr 22, 07:33 10
- Great! -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 07:56
- I was blown away a few weeks ago when I saw 1st graders doing fractions... seemed very early, but that's how the curriculum works. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 22, 07:52 1
  - Yeah, they are more advanced at that age than they used to be. But yet by the time they're done 12th grade they aren't any smarter. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 07:55
- Noice. -- nm - TFox Apr 22, 07:49
- that's sufficiently impressive -- nm - prayformojo Apr 22, 07:39

    - very cool. That's very advanced abstract thinking for his age. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:47

- ok, well, two additional thoughts - tRuMaN Apr 22, 07:35 3
  - Other than the multiple days in the hospital and Vegas not being a relaxing place? - Will Hunting Apr 22, 07:49 2
    - and the whole, "until he gets out and talks to us, we have no idea if *he* feels up for it or wants to at this point". -- nm - TFox Apr 22, 07:50 1
      - yes I know, which is why I said if you would be interested, send me an email - tRuMaN Apr 22, 07:51
- I'm in on that -- nm - Epiphany Apr 22, 07:29

  - tis part of the reason I picked the apartment I did - tRuMaN Apr 22, 07:26
  - This is the part of the story where the sub-par concrete mix/pour comes into play. -- nm - HdnAgnda Apr 22, 07:25 1
    - whatever, I'll just sue them. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:27
Warner Bros allowing folks to exchange HDDVD for Blu-Ray -- (link) - budice Apr 22, 07:18 14
- Add $6.95 for S&H. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 07:27 2
  - Though at least that's "per order" and not "per disc". -- nm - Ender Apr 22, 07:50 1
    - True. And it's US only. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 07:52
- Hrmmm.....since I got most of my HD-DVD's cheap as hell, this wouldn't be a bad thing - Will Hunting Apr 22, 07:21 9
  - Exactly what I was thinking, Frys offer HDDVDs on clearance for $4 each. Means you can get Blu-Ray for $10 -- nm - budice Apr 22, 07:23 7
    - plus the disc will be new -- nm - budice Apr 22, 07:23 6
      - And you might be able to flip the HD's for a few bucks. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 07:26 5
        
        Would people want the discs without the cover art? -- nm - kelly Apr 22, 07:28 4
        
        Someone will pay something for anything... - TFox Apr 22, 07:31 3
        
        We'd much rather prefer for the latter to occur. - Will Hunting Apr 22, 07:43 1
        
        pffft. - kelly Apr 22, 07:47
        
        Words to live by. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 07:36
  - Nope, not bad at all. -- nm - kelly Apr 22, 07:22
- hmm. I may do this -- nm - decline Apr 22, 07:20

  - heh, no, the suit has been retired. -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 07:24 6
    - Can I have it? heee -- nm - Jim Apr 22, 07:26 2
      - god, the shipping costs! :) -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 07:26 1

        oh, perfect. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:27
- Man, if I had a nickel... - HdnAgnda Apr 22, 07:20 1

- Where the Chipacabra outfit! -- nm - TWuG Apr 22, 07:18 1
  - -"Where" +"Wear" -- nm - TWuG Apr 22, 07:19
- I say funky casual dress, killer shoes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:18
- go for funky -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 07:18 4
  - okay, good. the dress is sort of a 60's vibe. sleeveless, slight a line from under the bust. turquoisey blue with big brown swirls. - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 07:21 3
    - sounds awesome -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 07:22
    - and do bright orange-red nails. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:22

- f**king amazing. -- nm - Jovian Apr 22, 07:51
- f*ckers! -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 07:16 1
  - seriously? in favor of L&O reruns? *shakes head in amazement* -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 07:23

- compilation available wehn? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:03 1
  - not sure yet, as it hasn't been solicted. But I suspect 3 months. -- nm - Remlik Apr 22, 07:03
Best part of living alone is I can leave junk out (my table was covered with papermaking stuff for a month). -- nm - mara Apr 22, 06:59 6
- I used to do that too, but it always used to scare my cat. -- nm - TFox Apr 22, 07:02
- you make paper? - decline Apr 22, 07:02 1
  - Ha. -- nm - mara Apr 22, 07:11
- me too. - banzai SI Apr 22, 07:01 2
  - sorry. trumped by pantlessness. -- nm - mobile mafic Apr 22, 07:05 1
    - stupid mobile me. this should be under mara's post. -- nm - mafic Apr 22, 07:49
Asking for ST tech geek opinion. When I am watching a show on an HD channel but the show, for the whole hour, was shown in 4:3 format, where does the - HdnAgnda Apr 22, 06:59 22
- does your dvr normally handle 16x9? -- nm - zork Apr 22, 07:50
- Assuming it's normally in 16x9, something like that is almost always the fault of the local affiliate. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 07:02 1
  - Okay. I will start with TWC to see how this can be handled in real time when I see a problem. Happens often with NBC but usually is fixed a few - HdnAgnda Apr 22, 07:07
- related question: Can I blame Comcast for pixelation, as well as the sound dropping out a lot? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:01 16
  - Sound problems are sometimes a channel problem, but they are often tv provider issues (as well as pixelation). So, yes, they are probably to blame. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 07:07 3
    - every channel. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:08 2
      - call them and ask for a new cable box. yours is likely effed up. -- nm - background checks love mandy lane Apr 22, 07:10 1
        
        hmmm, ok. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:14
  - I think so, they compress the signal A LOT. -- nm - Remlik Apr 22, 07:03 11
    - could also be bad lines too (noise getting in ) -- nm - decline Apr 22, 07:08 4
      - it just started a few months ago. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:09 3
        
        Also check to make sure the coax cable is all the way connected to the tv. -- nm - Remlik Apr 22, 07:11 2
        
        it is. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:14 1
        
        huh, I just googled and apparently a LOT of people in my area have this complaint. God I hate Comcast. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:18
    - I HATE them. it has gotten so much worse. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:04 5
      - No fios available in your area yet? -- nm - Don Homer Apr 22, 07:08 4
        
        I don't know what that is. far as I know Comcast is the only option. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:09 3
        
        Verizaon FiOS. It's Awesome. -- (link) - Don Homer Apr 22, 07:10 2
        
        if it's available, I will kiss you. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:12 1
        
        You're safe. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:14
- I'd be most likely to blame the affiliate. All my Reapers lately have been the proper 16:9, so it's not the entire network. -- nm - Ender Apr 22, 07:00
- I'm pretty sure it could be either the cable or the local affiliate -- nm - decline Apr 22, 07:00
STIS: Can anyone help me understand this, the dress code I'm supposed to follow for my internship? - Hotkiss Apr 22, 06:57 9
- no sundresses (in fact no bare shoulders), and yes, i assume they do mean wear hosiery in the summer. -- nm - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 07:02 2
  - Even under pants? -- nm - lileve Apr 22, 07:31 1
    - well, no. hosiery is basically the equivalent of saying 'no bare legs.' - Andie - get well Amoxy! Apr 22, 07:33
- sounds conservative. I would avoid sundresses and wear hose anytime you have a skirt on. -- nm - decline Apr 22, 07:01 2
  - Thanks, I guess I'll stay safe for the first few days until granted permission otherwise or see differently. -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 22, 07:02 1
    - don't ask permission to dress more casual. do what others do. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:03
- sundresses NO! hosiery, I would wear it unless you see that others are not. - loosilu Apr 22, 06:59
- I'm assuming flip-flops are out? -- nm - CQ Apr 22, 06:58
- Yes, they do want you to wear hose in the summer. Sounds like they might not want bare shoulders (they don't say that, but that's a common one for a - mara Apr 22, 06:58
best part of living alone? you never have to wear pants. - mobile mafic Apr 22, 06:56

note: My kitchen floor isn't really sticky. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 06:53 9
- oh yeah -- nm - dead flies Apr 22, 06:56
- just a little bit sticky? -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 06:56 5
  - not sticky. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 06:57 4
    - Um, yes. Yes you did! -- nm - Mice Apr 22, 06:59 3
      - are you posting in the wrong place because you're blind? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 07:02 2
        
        But you should see how we run. -- nm - Mice Apr 22, 07:05 1
