    - I already learned almost a decade ago to avoid rackspace ... this just reinforces it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 18:26 1
      - Actually, right when ST launched in 2008 was the first time. They acquired Slicehost. I was not a fan of that move. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 18:27

  - Haven't seen it in stores -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 18:04
- I read that second one as "catnog". Eww. -- nm - Ender Dec 4, 16:38 3
  - I'm very curious if any of them will be drinkable, but I hope none of them taste like catnog. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 16:56

Travel peeps - is 45 minutes enough for a change in Seattle or should I settle for 2 hours. First flight Alaska/Sky West, then Alaska. -- nm - Meg Dec 4, 15:51 6
- Seattle can be a little confusing if you're not used to it. It's a manageable airport, but there may be a train involved. - ty97 Dec 4, 17:33 1
  - Thank you. That was pretty much my thinking. If I'm earlier I guess there's a chance of standby on the earlier flight. -- nm - Meg Dec 4, 18:01
- If you are at all delayed on the first flight, you will miss a 45 minute connection. -- nm* - Andie Dec 4, 17:31
- I'd never risk under an hour in today's day and age -- nm - Beaker Dec 4, 15:52 2

- hockey's consistent. this sounds like a you problem. -- nm - mafic Dec 4, 15:33
- Start -- nm - spamlet Dec 4, 15:25 7
  - It's been a while since I've been to a game, but doesn't the overall game clock also count up rather than down? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 4, 15:27 6
    - It counts down but you still go from the start of the period. -- nm - spamlet Dec 4, 15:35 1
      - Well that's just unnecessarily confusing. -- nm - Sub-baroner Dec 4, 16:49
    - what are we, in Europe? -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 15:31 3
      - even IIHF counts down now. -- nm - mafic Dec 4, 16:26

In chasing away this cough I've had for 3 weeks I think I am now 50% tea. -- nm - Reagen Dec 4, 14:59
