If I'm reading the news article right...Rep Jefferson has 30million shares of this company - Will Hunting Aug 6, 14:02 5
- I think you're misreading something, unless he owns 55% of the company. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 14:07 3
  - That's what I'm thinking, but isn't that what both articles are indicating? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 6, 14:08 2
    - he's not on their 5% ownership list. even if they meant $30M worth, that should have him there (as of the end of the reported Q, anyway). nm but: -- (link) - b. Aug 6, 14:14

  - Fuck it, D's. -- nm - Loyola Aug 6, 14:00

  - That's partially due to the preponderance of the politics of negativity on both sides. (Hence the inverted bell curves.) -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:03 5

      - On any major issue, if any substantive reform or changes are proposed it's so easy to find enough people to yell loud enough to quash it. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 14:12
      - no, it fits. the reason Congress gets such low approval ratings is that each side thinks the other side is the problem. - znufrii Aug 6, 14:12 2
        
        Congress is worthless! They're all a bunch of scumbags! - BB Aug 6, 14:15 1
        
        that too. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 14:17

loosi, the Holodomor was way bigger (possibly 10 million died) and not the result of natural causation. Many reports of people turning to cannibalism -- nm - zork Aug 6, 13:52 3
- The Irish famine wasn't exactly the result of natural causation. Ireland produced lots of food during the famine, but it was exported by the - Roger More Aug 6, 13:55 2
  - like the strawberries grown in the 80s in ethiopia and such -- nm - zork Aug 6, 14:02 1
    - I hadn't heard about those, but yes - similar. In both Ireland and Ethiopia, the system of land ownership was a big part of the cause -- nm - Roger More Aug 6, 14:05

    - Glad to hear you're getting better and kudos on tackling all that. -- nm - TWuG Aug 6, 14:03
    - dude. - b. Aug 6, 13:58
    - impressive. Have you had any trouble talking, or was that unaffected? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:56 3
      - Funny you should mention that - BB Aug 6, 13:59 2
        
        Sounds like it's improving, so that's good. Yikes ... wow. That's quite a story. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 14:01 1
        
        Yeah, I'm actually writing a book about my experiences - BB Aug 6, 14:03

- Matt Jones couldn't even get a tryout in Baltimore. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 6, 14:30
- Yeah, I'm surprised by this turn of events. It's a shame in that you're right that Jones had a fine season last year. -- nm - David Aug 6, 14:17
- all Matt needs is another combine. -- nm - Stewie Aug 6, 13:49 1
  - Ahhhh, good times. -- nm - Vernon Davis Aug 6, 13:50

has any ST parents used the kid leash things that connect to the kids back pack? those seem cool -- nm - JenBro Aug 6, 13:46 16
- I don't really like them - but I don't think the ones attached to the backpack are as bad as the ones attached to the kid's wrist/waist. (not sure - kelly Aug 6, 14:14
- Nope, don't like the idea of leashes for kids, at all -- nm - Stephen Aug 6, 14:02 1
  - But leashes for your dates is a different story. - BB Aug 6, 14:05
- when I was about 9 I used to make fun of my aunt that used one on her 2-year-old. -- nm - mafic Aug 6, 13:53
- No. *shudder* -- nm - Subversive Aug 6, 13:52
- Awful things. Just awful. Kids are not pets. Do your job and keep your eye on them. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:48
- Funnily enough, at the National Aquarium long ago my sister put one on my nephew. He got on all fours and started barking. She took it off. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 13:47 8
  - Smart kid. -- nm - TWuG Aug 6, 13:48 1
    - He graduated from high school this year. I'm old. -- nm - Dano Aug 6, 13:51
  - hello, youtube! :) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:48 5
    - would be hilarious if she ( as a joke ) added a muzzle for the video clip - can you imagine the faces of people around them? -- nm - JenBro Aug 6, 13:52 4
      - like an extra-long toque or something? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:52 3
        
        oh I'm just being extreme and silly ... but if the kid acted like a dog - to have a muzzle - like they put on to keep dogs from biting. - JenBro Aug 6, 13:56 2
        
        well, I know, but muzzles fit over the snout. Human children don't really have snouts. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 14:02 1
        
        man am I dim or what? I totally didn't understand what you meant ... duh. I think I should quit while this hole is only 3 feet deep. -- nm - JenBro Aug 6, 14:05

Baldelli and Bay both hurt, Drew taking himself out of games if the wind blows funny... - TFox Aug 6, 13:43 9
- Nancy actually did his version of an Iron Man when he played after tweeking his crotch pinkie the other day. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 6, 13:51 5
  - What the hell is a "crotch pinkie"? -- nm - TWuG Aug 6, 13:53 1
    - Inflammed vagina fold in his case. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 6, 13:55
  - I can't believe kelly gives me shit for mocking him. - Will Hunting Aug 6, 13:53 2
    - he's the only one I give you permission to mock. - Mel Profit Aug 6, 13:58
    - You? Mock? - kelly Aug 6, 13:55
- I'm playing left tonight. - BB Aug 6, 13:50

  - Thanks! It all worked out pretty well in the end. - Subversive Aug 6, 13:53 4
    - Hopefully the market will rebound and the 20k premium over appraisal will disappear. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:56 3
      - I'm not worried about it. We're planning to stay there for awhile. -- nm - Subversive Aug 6, 14:12
      - based on appraisal here. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 14:01 1
        
        City appraisal, which may or may not be close to real value. For example, my house in Calgary had a tax assessed value of ~$350,000 this past year. - Subversive Aug 6, 14:11

Would ST like to get a giggle at someone else's expense? Oh, course it would. Remember that sneezing gig I told you about? - TWuG Aug 6, 13:39 5

On that new Coke dispenser: I suspect there's still boxes and boxes of syrup in the back for each. - Ender Aug 6, 13:38 9
- Nope. Tiny, tiny packets of super concentrated flavorings. -- (link) - TWuG Aug 6, 13:40 8
  - That's cool. May fix the problem of the balance between the soda and the syrup often being wrong. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 6, 13:54
  - rut ro ... I sense a backlash coming from people that LOVE "Fountain Coke" - ie. it tastes better than canned or bottled - everyone will be trying to - JenBro Aug 6, 13:44 3
    - I was just wondering if people would claim a difference in flavors between traditional syrup and the cartridge flavor. -- nm - TWuG Aug 6, 13:46 2
      - oh you KNOW they will ... and then Ted Allen will have an episode about it to prove there IS a difference on his food science show. -- nm - JenBro Aug 6, 13:47 1
        
        My guess is that some people will legitimately notice a difference but loads more will just think they do. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:49
  - I stand corrected. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 13:41 2
    - Sadly, you're stuck with the pre-programmed flavors. I'd love a freestyle option. - TWuG Aug 6, 13:45 1
      - You can always fill your glass part way with coke and partway with sprite. -- nm - Ender Aug 6, 14:33
For all you bad parents out there; ~I once was lost, but now I'm found~ -- nm - Loyola Aug 6, 13:37
There is a crying child standing in line. Have any of you bad parents misplaced your crying child? -- nm - ST Loud Speaker Aug 6, 13:37
California's testing off-shore floating windmills. Coupled with Oregon's wave-energy buoys, this could really work. - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 6, 13:37 2
- Yet more scientific research we are doing that the rest of the world will benefit from. Come on, rest of the country, pull some weight. -- nm - con_carne Aug 6, 13:39 1
  - We had tidal turbines here. They broke because the tides were too strong in the East River. -- nm - znufrii Aug 6, 13:53
Simon isn't a judge of talent. Simon is a judge of marketability. Paula wasn't a judge of talent, she was a judge of ... umm ... no one knows. - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:35 14
- I'll be glad if she's really gone but I expect Favre-like negotiations with a Futurama-like ending. She's gone until she's not really gone. -- nm - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 6, 13:38 5
  - I heard they didn't even give her an offer - Stewie Aug 6, 13:43 3
    - Reports have said she was offered a 30% raise -- nm - CovingtonCat Aug 6, 13:48
    - Not what I heard. - Mop (face it, the scale says 240 lbs) Aug 6, 13:45 1
      - was she expecting people would boycott the show if she wasn't there or something? -- nm - JenBro Aug 6, 13:54
  - I will like me more Kara DioGuardi. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 13:42
- Paula was the PC feel good judge. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 13:37 3

    - who doesn't like to partake in a few horse tranquilizers? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 6, 13:40 1
      - ~And I said no, no, no~ -- nm - Seabiscuit Aug 6, 13:45
- And yet, Simon seems to be really close early on when he picks his favorites, it seems. - Will Hunting Aug 6, 13:37 1
  - Which makes sense....because marketability plays into winning. - ty97 Aug 6, 13:40
- talent and skill are different. I think Randy judges skill. -- nm - loosilu Aug 6, 13:37 1
  - ... yeah, that's a fair point. I'd agree with that. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:46
B2 was totally pitchy, dawg -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 13:34 1
