This is a test. - musubi Nov 6, 11:22 1
- It's just your browser, moose. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:22
It's kind of interesting to learn how different people view and navigate ST. -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 11:21 1
- I use the live button all the time, and to clear out an autonick I immediately make a no-subject post with my proper nickname -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:22
FB: OK, this is neat - con_carne Nov 6, 11:21 1
- I think it depends on how the link is posted. If I use the Facebook icon on Gizmodo it shows up as Blog so I think if you're using their little post - oblique Nov 6, 11:22
It looks like I'm going to have to re-code the "Live" button if we go for something like that again. - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:20
Carbonation doesn't do squat except make you burb and fart -- (link) - oblique Nov 6, 11:19 1
- I drink it to fight the Andromeda strain. -- nm - Max Nov 6, 11:21
Anyone else getting an old main board, despite refreshing? (nm) - musubi Nov 6, 11:17 10
- Not me. Is it the URL? I'm on hsxtt.com and I'm good. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:19
- Yeah, there are definitely some irregularities in the cache-ing right now. -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:19 3
  - Back to the old "nocache" style for now. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:19 2
    - This is the way this thread looks for me right now without a refresh: - David Nov 6, 11:21 1
      - A magic refresh gives it... - David Nov 6, 11:21
- Dump your cache and history and quit the browser then start it again. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:19
- Erph. Hrm. This is dependent on browser cache settings; you'd have to control-refresh to change it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:18
- me. -- nm - Roger More Nov 6, 11:18 2
  - okay, two votes against. I'll comment out that code for now. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:19 1
    - *cries out for more user options* - oblique Nov 6, 11:21
um... -- nm - Diva Nov 6, 11:15 1
- "Ummm...*worried, angry, concerned look* Carolyn!" -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 6, 11:16
Oh, SNAP! Thanks for fixing the back-button actions, Bery! It jumps back down to where I was now! - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:14 8
- You all noticed the search, right? -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:17 2
  - only after he pointed it out. Even then, I was looking for a search box on the screen. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:18 1
    - It's very Obama. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:19
- yeah. now get working on something else!....nm - x Nov 6, 11:16 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - i would like rss feeds for every individual poster, as well as individual sound effects so i know when my favorites have posted.... - x Nov 6, 11:19 1
      - Who gets the fart noise? -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:26
- Yep, works for me to. Thanks Bery -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 11:15
Christmas tree fiasco. - David Nov 6, 11:08 24
- When buying holiday lights, buy the ones with three wires not two. - lileve Nov 6, 11:18 2
  - That's good information, thanks. -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:18 1
    - They cost a bit more but are worth it. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:19
- Also...and I'm sure you probably already did this...but since we had this issue, I'll throw it out there... - Jim Nov 6, 11:15 4
  - Yeah, Kim did all of that and also managed to create some new swear words. -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:16 3
    - Totally off the subject...do you guys watch Dexter? - Jim Nov 6, 11:17 2
      - No, it's on the list but our list is long. Have you heard of this show, The Wire? -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:18 1
        
        Yep. Carrie and I tried The Wire the first season and after about 4 episodes we dropped it. Just didn't grab us. - Jim Nov 6, 11:20
- Sorry to hear that. That's so Palin. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:13 4
  - Hey... I see what you're doing here! - con_carne Nov 6, 11:14 3
    - Yeah, it's a new thing I'm trying out. I'm sure it'll annoy to no end. -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:16 2
      - "That's so fetch!" -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 11:17 1
        
        stop trying to make fetch happen -- nm - zork Nov 6, 11:24
- Are you sure it wasn't just that all the Tivos were draining the power so not enough was getting to the lights? -- nm - Dano Nov 6, 11:11
- Did you check the little bitty fuses on the lights? I ask because we've had the same pre-lit tree for like 5 years - Jim Nov 6, 11:10
- We got our pre-lit tree at Target. No problems for the last 5 years or so. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:09 8
  - I'm glad to hear that. Hey, would you do me a favor and go walk in front of a moving bus? -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:10 4
    - How will that solve your electrical issues? - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:12 3
      - Look, I don't want to get into the arcane teachings of Ben Franklin. Just trust me on this and jump in front of a moving bus. - David Nov 6, 11:14 2
        
        Not for us. Daddy doesn't have insurance. -- nm - JaxSean's Kids Nov 6, 11:17 1
        
        Then Daddy shouldn't mouthed off about his super-wonderful tree on Slacker Talk. -- nm - David Nov 6, 11:18
  - I can have a real, full size, tree this year, and i *can't* wait! -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 11:10 2
    - Neither can we! -- nm - Talullah and Harvey Nov 6, 11:11 1
      - i know, they're going to drive me crazy with it. - Andie Nov 6, 11:16
What did I do? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 11:08 3
- Weirdness. I kept refreshing but ST wasn't updating for the last ten minutes until I posted this. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 6, 11:08 2
  - To me, it just seems like the "live button doesn't refresh anymore, but the refresh button of my browser did -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 11:16
  - *whistles innocently* -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:14
quick little very non-spoilerish Fallout 3 story from last night - Jovian Nov 6, 11:08 6

538's final prediction for the Senate race in AK was that Begich was a 100% lock to win. -- (link) - znufrii -- least fighty poster Nov 6, 11:04 6
- The Stevens effect. Of course people will say their voting for the other guy, to hide the fact that they are actually voting for the convicted felon. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 11:21
- well, they also talk about it almost looks like Alaska had a 14% drop it votes this time around. - tRuMaN Nov 6, 11:05 4
  - Shenanigans! -- nm - Mop Nov 6, 11:12 1
    - It is arguably the most corrupt state in the country. -- nm - Don Homer Nov 6, 11:21
  - That is weird. *I* hadn't even heard about that. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 11:08

Are you all becoming fans of Costco on FB just to anger me even more?!? - Guigue Nov 6, 11:02 12
- No, I just love Costco. So far I haven't found a group of "fans to anger Guigue". *grin* -- nm - Trish Nov 6, 11:05 1
  - Just join something against poutine and I'll take it personnaly -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 11:05
- I like sams club more than costco. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 6, 11:04 7
  - It's like Wal-Mart / Target. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:12
  - Sams is ok, but after being members of both, I've found that Costco has higher quality goods and a larger selection. - Trish Nov 6, 11:10
  - Never been to Costco, but I like Sam's a lot. Gotta go on Saturday's for Sample Day. Wheeeee! -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:09 3
    - *Every day* at Costco is sample day. Seriously. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 6, 11:11 2
      - There were no samples last night! :( -- nm - kelly Nov 6, 11:18
      - Whoa. -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:12
  - Really? I did a quick survey here when my Costco membership expired last month, to see if I should switch. Can you tell me why you like Sam's? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 11:05
- You can do that? -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:03 1
  - I'll have to pass myself as someone else if they ask for card (they already ask for the number when we order) but apparently it always work -- nm - Guigue Nov 6, 11:06
Heh, I'm looking at an ad in the 11-1 Library Journal and the model depicting a librarian is practically a Palin look-alike. -- nm - mara Nov 6, 11:02 2
- Do you think it's on purpose? :-) -- nm - con_carne Nov 6, 11:13
- Hotty librarian? mmmm -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:02

As much as I love diet soda - I have cut almost all of it out of my diet. I might have 3 a week. - kelly Nov 6, 10:58 29
- So what about soda will kill me? The carbonation? The artificial sweetner? - Amy Nov 6, 11:12 2
  - I don't know that anything in diet soda will be killing you. I just thought it was a healthier choice for *me*. - kelly Nov 6, 11:21
  - Aren't you a belly dancer? You should quit worrying -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:14
- I alternate between Crystal Light and Diet (Kroger) cola. Can you tell me why the former is healthier than the latter? - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 11:10 4
  - carbonation. - kelly Nov 6, 11:12 3
    - the gas itself or the sugars in the drink? Is seltzer ok? Sorry, I'm confused. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:17
    - Hmph. Now I must research. I was planning on buying/installing a home carbonation system for the wife this Xmas! - Dr.Vermin Nov 6, 11:13 1
      - Dr. Weil says it's ok--just take a calcium sup. if your bevs are caffeinated -- (link) - Amy Nov 6, 11:19
- I'm trying to quit soda completely but it's hard when work has my fav on tap. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:02 2
  - I thought it would be really hard but I was surprised how easy it was - Guigue Nov 6, 11:04 1
    - We never have soda at home and at my last job soda was banned. Worked well for me. Here it's endless and free. Big problem. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:06
- That's great. I'm down to about 4 carbonated sugar drinks a day. -- nm - CQ with a gravy boat Nov 6, 11:02
- its like we dont even know you anymore. - tRuMaN Nov 6, 11:01 1
  - This has been difficult for me - I love diet soda oh so very much. - kelly Nov 6, 11:10
- I wish I could do that, but I don't have the will power for that. - Jim Nov 6, 11:01 7
  - Yes, one vice at a time makes it a bit easier. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:03
  - I found the switch from leaded to Cherry Coke Zero to be seamless and I lost like 15 pounds doing it -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:02 5
    - I went from Pibb Xtra to Pibb Zero with no problems and dropped a bunch of weight too. I'd like to cut it all out... - Jim Nov 6, 11:07 4
      - Yeah, I don't see anything wrong with drinking the Zero drinks. It's not like it has anything in it - oblique Nov 6, 11:10 3
        
        Until we find out that Splenda causes us to grow a 3rd nipple or something. -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:12 2
        
        Is there a problem with that? -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:12 1
        
        if it's on your ass. -- nm - lileve Nov 6, 11:14

  - me too (i am drinking a 591ml diet coke right now. i'm back up to a couple a week and i don't like it.) -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 11:14 3
    - Can someone get me a calculator or something...what the hell is 591 mls? :) -- nm - Jim Nov 6, 11:16 1
      - the small bottle - one size up from a can. :) -- nm - Andie Nov 6, 11:20
    - That is a very precise post. Thank you. -- nm - oblique Nov 6, 11:16
  - I drink less than two sodas per month. I think that kind of moderation is fine. much more than that and I'd make myself quit 100%. -- nm - pilgrims and indians love mandy lane Nov 6, 11:03 1
    - I have maybe 1 a week, so when I do have one I have a "real" one. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 6, 11:05

    - NEVER! Muahahaha! :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 6, 11:02 1
