- "I told my son to study hard but then he came back at Thanksgiving break and hadn't gone to a single class." -- nm - dawson si Aug 6, 13:28
- jeez, you didn't smack them, shake them, or anything! you can't expect to move numbers with that kind of low-grade bad parenting! -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 13:28

I always thought George Strait wrote most/all of his own material. - ty97 Aug 6, 13:22 1
- Nope, not a songwriter; he just has a really good group who 'gets' his talents. -- (link) - Will Hunting Aug 6, 13:25
Google Analytics question: so... Bing used to be MSN, right? - Dr.Vermin Aug 6, 13:17 6
- I have yet to figure out what is so special or new about bing. The ads call it the "Decision search engine" or something like that.. it doesn't look - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 6, 13:20 4
  - Judging by the commercials, Bing is for people too stupid to know what they're searching for. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:28 1
    - for house hunting, I've found Bing's Birds Eye View quite useful. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:29
  - have you used "Show Similar" yet? It works a lot differently than google's "similar pages". -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:23
  - "marketing" -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:21

The average (mean) number of posts (not to say number of mean posts) per user in the past 7 calendar days (pacific time) is 109.4 ... - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:17 6
- It's the new 312.50 and it is all ST's. Hooray! -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 6, 13:22
- BUT WHERE'S THE CAKE?? -- nm - mara Aug 6, 13:21
- what's the median? -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 13:18 3
  - the standard deviation is 130.52, though -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:21 1
    - ooooh, shiny. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 13:24
  - no idea -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:20

  - it's a secret replicator. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 13:29 1
    - Scotty and Bones visited a Coke plant too? -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:30
  - [deleted]
  - for most of them you only need a few ounces of syrup. other than that I think you only need water and CO2 -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:22

Reagen, I don't really see that as "scare mongering" - Stephen Aug 6, 13:15 5
- Reading snopes, it's not about end of life 'procedures' - ty97 Aug 6, 13:25
- well, the article linked earlier says 75% of seniors would like it, but only 40% have it, since it's not covered now. - mafic Aug 6, 13:22
- well Medicare covers it now, for instance. The plan is just saying than any plan would have to pay for that if it's requested by the patient. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 13:20
- end of life care is a pretty hot topic in the debate on healthcare spending. its a huge slice of the overall spending pie. - TFox Aug 6, 13:17 1

I want to work where Bery works. - con_carne Aug 6, 13:13 1
- I'm enjoying it quite a bit, definitely. However, I still find that there are plenty of distractions that slow down my work. - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:15

wiki:List_of_best-selling_music_artists -- (link) - zork Aug 6, 13:00 33
- Cliff Richard is awesome -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 13:05
- Whoa, Abba -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:03 29
  - I still remember when I realized Madonna sampled one of Abba's songs - MDH Aug 6, 13:21
  - actually, the surprise is that their number is that "low" -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:03 27
    - not to me. I knew Abba was popular, but also that they were more of a flash in the pan with a short career. - ty97 Aug 6, 13:05 26
      - I was floored when I went to see Mamma Mia on stage. People love the shit out of Abba, apparently. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 13:19
      - *smacks monitor* -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 13:17
      - Nothing could be further from the truth -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 13:15 3
        
        I'm too young to know anything other than their greatest hits album -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:16 2
        
        Age has nothing to do with it. Whenever I look at best selling artists in other countries, ABBA is usually in the mix. -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 13:18 1
        
        Yes it does. I'm young, dammit! -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:22
      - They are super-popular internationally -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 13:15 5
        
        strange anecdote: when I was in chile, every restaurant I went into for about a 10 days had abba videos playing soundlessly on tv. I started to - mafic Aug 6, 13:16
        
        oh yeah, I knew this. I just...didn't realize they were Top 10 selling acts of all time popular. -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:15 3
        
        Personally, it amazes me that AC/DC is up there. Well, not a surprise because I've seen that list before, but... -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 13:17 2
        
        Sort of a well-known tidbit that Back In Black was the best selling album of all time before Thriller. Might still be second. -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 13:20 1
        
        It is -- (link) - ty97 Aug 6, 13:21
      - they had like 8 studio albums in 9 years or something. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 13:08
      - the sales have never stopped though. about ten years ago they were offered $1 billion to go on tour. -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:06 12
        
        They were offered this again like a month ago to fill MJs dates -- nm - MDH Aug 6, 13:13
        
        An ABBA tour would be off the scales popular. -- nm - Loyola Aug 6, 13:08 10
        
        (I just stated the obvious, didn't I. Duh.) -- nm - Loyola Aug 6, 13:11 9
        
        I like potatoes! -- nm - Loyola si Aug 6, 13:12 8
        
        my irish roommates get really grouchy with that one. someone got one of them a mr. potatohead for office secret santa (from "irish santa"), he was - mafic Aug 6, 13:13 6
        
        i guess it's feast or famine with that joke -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:15 5
        
        if it's referring to the famine, it's kinda not funny. -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 13:17 4
        
        interesting how people know about that but few know about the (Soviet-engineered) Ukrainian Holodomor which killed between 2.6 and 10 million people -- (link) - zork Aug 6, 13:25 2
        
        Actually, I think most Americans - loosilu Aug 6, 13:30
        
        Well, so many Irish are Americans now, and in positions of power here, at that -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 13:28
        
        Unlike all the other puns one generally sees..... -- nm - mara Aug 6, 13:22

  - Nana is rich! -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:03
also, where's mandy? posh spice on idol? -- (link) - mafic Aug 6, 12:59 4
- Does Paula need to be replaced? Isn't Karla her replacement? -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:02 3
  - Can't we replace Randy? Do that many people really tune in to see "that was pitchy, dawg." -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 6, 13:20 1
    - gawd no. he's the best judge of talent in the lot (well, the new one is good too) -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:28
  - they kept running out of time with 4 commenting. (although Can. Idol's 4 judges always managed it) - zork Aug 6, 13:11
Do we know how many regular STers there are? Like stats on how many people made more than (X) posts in the past week or something? -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 12:57 17
- Counting everyone who's posted in the last seven calendar days (pacific time), 120 people are active. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:02 12
  - slicing it off at an arbitrary number (in this case, 15), it cuts it down to 87 people -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:04 9
    - many thanks -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:06
    - how about at least 5 posts in each of at least two of the last seven days? - znufrii Aug 6, 13:05 5
      - I'd like to know how many people make even numbers of posts on odd-numbered days. - mafic Aug 6, 13:10 2
        
        what about odd people making posts? -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 13:12 1
        
        so....everyone? -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 13:13
      - Not impossible .. but still, *smack* -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:06 1
        
        hee. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 13:07
    - [deleted] 1
      - Stop imagining me naked! -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 13:06
  - Is that everyone with at least one post? Or a minimum number of posts? - ty97 Aug 6, 13:04 1
    - that was at least one post in the last seven days (see above for "at least 15 posts in seven days") -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:04
- not really, but I could whip something up -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:58 3
  - I don't want a cake, just some numbers. - ty97 Aug 6, 12:59 2
    - I'll take cake. - BB Aug 6, 13:00 1
      - "We're all out." - znufrii Aug 6, 13:01
So sad, 5 mins after a meeting, a co-worker complained about neck pain, and had to get ambulanced - MDH Aug 6, 12:57 13
- Good Lord. I hope she is able to recover. Stuff like this just adds to my mortality complex. -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 6, 13:25
- that's sad. how old, roughly? -- nm - Max Aug 6, 13:10 1

  - canoli? Oh, that reminds me, work has free cake today. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:07 1
    - is that a regional phrase? -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 13:12
- dude, that sucks. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 13:02

- How incredibly sad. -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 12:58

I have a depressing hunch that mafic just pwned that LIR music quiz -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 12:53 7
- NPR: "this song is also notable in that it's the first that Strait has written since his 1981 debut." -- nm - Max Aug 6, 13:01
- Actually, ty97 won it -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 12:56
- I thought barbra streisand had more than him too. there's depressing. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 12:55
- Ain't nothing depressing about the Diamond man. -- nm - TFox Aug 6, 12:54
- If Neil Diamond is the answer I'm going to shoot my cat. -- nm - Loyola Aug 6, 12:53 2
  - is it a big Neil Diamond fan? -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 12:59 1
    - probably put him over the top. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 12:59
It frightens me that ST knows what my girlfriend drinks. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 12:51 11
- sure, and I also know what color undies she is wearing. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 13:01
- We also know that if you both drink the same thing, you'll be tipsy first. -- nm - Inigo Aug 6, 12:53 7
  - They were...Free.Drinks! - Mel Profit Aug 6, 13:13
  - And second. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 6, 13:11
