- Such things as probability and statistics are a fabrication of Western Imperialists and have no place in the Islamic Republic! -- nm - Supreme Leader Khamenei Jun 24, 10:16
- random number theory is still speculative. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 10:06

the best thing the co-op board said before I bought my place: "if you get married, your wife can move in with you." - mafic Jun 24, 09:54 12
- oh jeez. well at least one was in tune with what "the kids" are doing these days -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:55
- "but you may never have children." -- nm - Max Jun 24, 09:55 10
  - heh, that was implied. "not an approrpriate building for children." may have come up. -- nm - mafic Jun 24, 09:56

        It depends on what type of place it is. - Subversive Jun 24, 10:06
        
        (meant to go under the above "ban" comment) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 24, 10:00
        
        (Not that I'm a parent) but I think that's more about parenting styles than it is kids -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 09:59 2
        
        But parents with poorly behaved kids, poorly behaved for whatever reason, who leave the kids at home aren't going to bother others though. ;) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 24, 10:02 1
        
        Well, the kids won't bother anyone, but that still leaves the parents :) - Roger More Jun 24, 10:05
      - Declare them as "employed personal assistants." -- nm - Max Jun 24, 09:58

ReyRey, re: carpet cleaner. If it's small scale, I've had good results with this stuff (link) - musubi Jun 24, 09:46
"you got a lot of repressed feelings don't ya Friday?" -- nm - Remlik Jun 24, 09:42
ugh.. i may be ruining KIDS Fund right out of the gate.. - colin Jun 24, 09:36 8
- Do fund managers still get angry emails? I always loved those. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:52
- Isn't it against rule of thumb to play the big movies on a small port? -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 09:50 1
  - not with a fund. all in baby! -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 09:51
- You just make the money back a bit later than normal. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 09:48
- I *want* it to be a short, but don't know that it will... I feel like putting my faith in the tastes of America would be a wrong move. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 24, 09:42 1
  - even if it's short, it'll still be making rediculous money.. just not as much as the stock indicates, IMO. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 09:44
- either way, you'll be making money for investors :) -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 09:38 1
  - heh... true. -- nm - colin Jun 24, 09:38
Your WTF? hottie of the day... -- (link) - Dano Jun 24, 09:33 [Image]
anyone have an active email for Digital Mariner (Steve)? - Guy Jun 24, 09:31
ST Hump Day Poll: Hump Day? Yep. -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 09:28 1
- Sigh. No. -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 09:31
Wow. Diving boats are a bitch. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:25 16
- How is that possible. Diving boats don't have defense ability do they? - musubi Jun 24, 09:39 15
  - Diving Boats are second only to Mortar Ships with a defensive power of 56. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 09:44 4
    - ?? According to my numbers, Diving Boats have defensive value of 80. But PWR have an attack of 160. - musubi Jun 24, 09:50 1
      - It just dawns on me that I should have said that Diving Boats don't have "Resisitance" ability. - musubi Jun 24, 09:56
    - Oddly though, they are the 2nd best offensive value; and don't crack the top 2 in defensive value. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 09:46 1
      - That's because they're far more balanced. They're the Steam Giants of ships. (nm) - musubi Jun 24, 09:53
  - Mine are both fully upgraded. I do notice that I have 19 scattered ships, so I guess the battle report is wrong, but still. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:42 9
    - *points and laughs* -- nm - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 24, 09:45 5
      - heh. I am not surprised by the loss, just the lack of damage I acheived. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:50 4
        
        Yeah, at the very worst, you should have done more damage with that firepower. (nm) - musubi Jun 24, 09:55 3
        
        I think Naval Units get the Wall Bonus...maybe that's it? -- nm - Mel - Wolf Pack of One Jun 24, 10:06 1
        
        Do they? I could have sworn they didn't. - musubi Jun 24, 10:10
        
        Yeah, this was to clear the way for the final push. Now I may have two more waves. Ugh. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:59
    - sucker. -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 24, 09:43 2
      - I figured there were monkeys involved in this somehow. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:45 1
        
        flyin' poo chunkin' monkeys -- nm - 'lia Jun 24, 09:47
Biggest LYC of all time inside: - TFox Jun 24, 09:24 21
- I'm lizzing! I'm lizzing! -- nm - Tfox si Jun 24, 10:12
- "What's this? You're wearing the shirt of the band you're going to see? Don't be that guy. " -- nm - Droz Jun 24, 09:26 19
  - I am always that guy at 311 shows. I will be rocking that new shirt over one of my old 311 shirts, with maybe a new 311 hoodie over that. - TFox Jun 24, 09:27 17
    - your obsession with a band like 311 helps me rest easy whenever you slag on great music -- nm - Guy Jun 24, 09:32 2
      - 311 and the New England Patriots! -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:34
      - I know they aren't for everyone; they just happen to be perfect for me. That said... - TFox Jun 24, 09:33
    - that's cool. but who is 311? -- nm - decline Jun 24, 09:31 13
      - A reggae rock band who haven't gained new fans lately, but whose fanbase is insanely loyal -- nm - MDH Jun 24, 09:36 12
        
        My friend the other day (not a fan) called them "like the biggest underground band in history". - TFox Jun 24, 09:38 11
        
        L5 -- nm - Guy Jun 24, 09:45
        
        There are a ton of bands that do this. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:44 1
        
        It doesn't hurt that they keep getting consistent radio airplay -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 09:51
        
        nah. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:39 7
        
        No, I don't think its perfect, but as an example, this is their 6th consecutive summer headlining a full amphitheater tour. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 09:43 6
        
        Hanson has been touring for about the same amount of time. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:44 5
        
        Do we need to have a 311 vs. Hanson thumbwar for ultimate cheeseball awesome 90s band supremecy?! - TFox Jun 24, 09:45 4
        
        is a member of 311 currently in a cheeseball aweseom supergroup? -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:46 3
        
        if anything, that is -5 points for Hanson. - TFox Jun 24, 09:53 2
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 10:00
        
        it's for fun. and all musicians can benefit from working outside their band. - loosilu Jun 24, 09:54
  - "You're majoring in a four thousand year old dead language? Latin, best I can do." -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 09:27
Reagen, I've used regular Tide before. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 09:19
Andie, maybe he's *too* right for her and she is looking for an excuse... -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:18 57
- re: The never married guy. Yeah, that's one potential reason why a guy was never married, and of course there are others. - loosilu Jun 24, 09:27 54
  - my bf has never even lived with a chick. i admit, i asked what was up with that. -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:28 53
    - *shrug* i never even lived with anyone before either. and i'm not 25. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 09:41
    - I am very interested how your first year will go. Living with a woman for the first time is culture shock. - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:38 19
      - yeah, me too. :\ -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:41
      - I'm sure living with a dude for the first time is no walk in the park either. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:39 17
        
        She has lived with a man so that was my angle. She knows more what to expect than he does. - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:41 16
        
        you know what i've learned? now i know for *sure* my ex definitely didn't do "at least 50%!" of the household chores - kare Jun 24, 09:44 1
        
        That's cool -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:47
        
        what's so weird about living with a woman for the first time, out of curiosity? - loosilu Jun 24, 09:42 13
        
        seriously? total change in routine. sharing bathrooms. sharing everything. your house smells like flowers instead of cheetos. you get to watch - kare Jun 24, 09:50 4
        
        yep - it's the sharing that is the big adjustment, for both people. It's different than having a roommate because you share everything -- nm - Roger More Jun 24, 09:53
        
        All good examples. The going out after work is a good one -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:53
        
        all of that. word. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 09:52
        
        I'm just asking, having never done it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:51
        
        The emotional swings for one. When you are dating you don't see them as much. -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:49 4
        
        dude. guys have moods too! -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:52 2
        
        Hey, I am not giving a report on what sex is higher maint. Just anwering her question from my ppint of view - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:56 1
        
        *narrows eyes* - kare Jun 24, 10:00
        
        oh, I don't do that at all. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:50
        
        1. Remembering to put the toilet seat down. - znufrii Jun 24, 09:42 2
        
        if that's the worst you have to worry about you're gold -- nm - 'lia Jun 24, 09:44
        
        ooooh. yeah, that's cattle-prod worthy. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:43
    - Um, a lot of times, it's the chick who has the hangup against living together. Also, living together is seen by many as a step right before marriage -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 09:37 11
      - *cues georgia sallelites ~Always no huggin no kissin until I get a wedding ring~ -- nm - 'lia Jun 24, 09:42
      - of course. this conversation happened months ago, and i was just trying to feel out if he was a commitment-phobe, see - kare Jun 24, 09:39 9
        
        I don't know about your bf's cultural background, but the concept of living together unmarried is not the norm among the majority of cultures -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 09:41 8
        
        you really think so? my experience is the opposite amongst friends and family. -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:44 7
        
        OK, I'll spell it out. I'm thinking of WASPs :-) -- nm - con_carne Jun 24, 10:12 1
        
        *gasp* you didn't! - 'lia Jun 24, 10:14
        
        in my family, cohabitation is a one way ticket to hell. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:45 4
        
        my mom specifically told me she doesn't really approve. oh well. -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:47 3
        
        Typically, if it eventually leads to getting married, they forget that pretty quickly. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:58
        
        but she can deal? that's cool. mine can't deal, at all, under any circumstances. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:48 1
        
        yeah, she deals. -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:51
    - but you're giving him the chance to move things to the next level instead of just - 'lia Jun 24, 09:32
    - I never lived with a chick until SheFox... oh wait, not true, but I wasn't dating the other one. -- nm - TFox Jun 24, 09:31
    - "Just never found the right woman." - Will Hunting Jun 24, 09:30 1
      - it's certainly the "right" answer. -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:32
    - Uh... congrats on turning him? -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:30 9
      - dude, what's up with the dickishness lately? did i do something to piss you off? -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:31 8
        
        The norm. You have been around long enough to know this. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:37 5
        
        not really. you used to be pretty cool. -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:37 4
        
        I guess you have opened your eyes. - Spawn Jun 24, 09:41 3
        
        Spawn, man, you used to be about the music. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 09:46
        
        oh. okay. well i'm sorry i didn't give you the benefit of the doubt. - kare Jun 24, 09:46 1
        
        I think he was following up loosi's gay post. "Turning him" as in..making him straight. -- nm - Jim Jun 24, 09:48
        
        He's a dick to all of us. Its just a Spawn is a dick thing -- nm - Redmond on a phone Jun 24, 09:35 1
        
        I mock because I love. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 09:43
    - what did he answer? I really don't care either way. My mom OTOH would bug the fuck out if I married a divorced guy. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:29 5
      - my gf is half-vietnamese. if she ever meets my racist granny, there will be sparks. - mafic Jun 24, 09:35 1
        
        tats don't bother my mom at all for some reason. the only thing that bothers her is sex. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:36
      - ...and the next worst thing would be a guy who had lived with a woman without being married. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:30 2
        
        good thing that's her problem and not yours. :) (he just hadn't found the right person) -- nm - kare Jun 24, 09:31 1
        
        oh yeah. No matter what I do, it's wrong. so ... *shrug* -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:31
- ...or just looking for excuses, period. -- nm - 'lia Jun 24, 09:24 1
  - this is my guess. -- nm - loosilu Jun 24, 09:25
*jean punch* -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 09:16 4
