David, did you see my post from this morning re: TiVo external hard drive? -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 14, 13:31 [Backboard] 5
- Here's a link to Cnet's video on how to add a non-approved external hard drive to your Tivo. -- (link) - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:43 1
  - Yeah, I'd like to not open and void a warranty on a $200 machine 1 day after I get it. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 14, 13:51
- I posted a helpful link a couple of boards ago. - David Aug 14, 13:41 1
  - found it thanks. -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 14, 13:47 [Backboard]
- Unless you buy the approved model, you're going to have to hack your Tivo (open it and stuff). If you do that, may as well just add an internal. -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:33
Ahhhhh....easy cleaning, energy-efficient windows. - Will Hunting Aug 14, 13:29 7
- Just curious - what kind of benefit is "easy cleaning" to someone who probably never once cleaned the old windows? - kelly Aug 14, 13:35 4
  - cuz it was too hard to clean the old windows! - Will Hunting Aug 14, 13:37 3
    - [deleted] 2
      - They were stationary; the only way to clean the upstairs ones was to ladder up to get the outside. - Will Hunting Aug 14, 13:40 1

Conspiracy alert! Forget junta virus. The Government is going to use swine flu as an excuse to declare martial law and stomp on your civil liberties! -- (link) - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:27 30
- Article on the National Guard drill. From a quick read it looks like the New American SERIOUSLY misrepresented the NG role. -- (link) - loosilu Aug 14, 13:37 2
  - No way! Good thing you posted that because I was just headed down to my bunker. -- nm - BB Aug 14, 13:45
  - Damn. Does anyone know how to put this pin back in this grenade? -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 13:40
- Um, the Maine NG needs to talk to the JAG, pronto. I don't think they can do that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 13:34
- Why does it seem that certain segments of the US populace almost seem to be de-evolving as we watch? - Walt_Disney Aug 14, 13:32 1
  - Evolution is a trick of the devil! - BB Aug 14, 13:35
- Is it 1993 again? I hope the new version of the X-Files ends coherently this time. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 13:31
- That would make a clever way around the Posse Comitatus Act, - Dr.Vermin Aug 14, 13:31 16
  - um yeah, that's problematic. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 13:35

      - They went back in time and got Charles Grassley elected Senator? :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:38
      - Show me on the map where the Feds touched you. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 13:38 4
        
        Well, they wanted a scenario with a Chem-Bio agent, plus stop movement (border closures), plus flood response. - loosilu Aug 14, 13:41

        That's an odd place to keep your wallet. - Will Hunting Aug 14, 13:41 1
        
        [deleted]
      - worse than leaving it as Iowa? -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 13:37 4
        
        have you been to Iowa? serious question. it's nice. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 13:39 3
        
        I really only know about Iowa from Bill Bryson :) I did go to Wisconsin and I give it a C+ -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 13:43 1
        
        I crossed it when I drove from NY to SF. it was easily the pretties midwestern state we crossed. -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 13:44
        
        [deleted]
    - There is no doubt that loosi has a lot of esplainin' to do. -- nm - mara Aug 14, 13:34
- I saw Goody Obama a-talkin' to the Devil! -- nm - BB Aug 14, 13:31
- It's no coincidence that the first five letters in "junta" spell "junta"!! -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:28 2
  - are you talking about hantavirus? -- nm - loosilu Aug 14, 13:29 1
    - That's what I said! -- nm - Mop Chrome (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:30

- Was this on the Better Off Ted episode Jabberwoky? Ours was all messed up with the voice track cutting off. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 14, 13:26 2
  - Yes! -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 14, 13:26 1
    - we recorded it live and some other people had that as well. so it was across the board, apparently. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 14, 13:28
- Oh, you mean both our TiVos *didn't* crap out at the same time? - Callisto Aug 14, 13:13 2
  - It was either/or. - David, Nailin' It Aug 14, 13:15 1
    - So, they will break 3 more times? -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:16
Well, so much for the MT town hall being tougher on Obama. - CovingtonCat Aug 14, 13:10 7
- I've been amused by the idea that a presidential town hall would be in any way confrontational. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:11 6
  - Well sure. Obama projects a glowing, calming aura over a 50 m radius. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 13:14 1
    - well, he does, but I think the fact that he's president might have something to do with it, too... :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:48
  - For the last question Obama asked for someone who was skeptical of health reform. He got a guy who sells health insurance. - CovingtonCat Aug 14, 13:14 3
    - It's a breath of fresh air after the stagecraft we've endured. - BB Aug 14, 13:16 1
      - Hold on, I have to take this call. -- nm - Sheila Jackson Lee Aug 14, 13:43
    - and a good question, too. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:14
F*ck Tom Hanks, sometimes there is crying in baseball. -- nm - Tim Aug 14, 13:10 17
- he deserves it for not wearing a cup. no sympathy in my book. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 14, 13:51
- This is the most surreal paragraph. - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 14, 13:36
- [deleted] 3
  - "...and sales for athletic cups has gone through the roof." -- nm - Guy Aug 14, 13:24 2
    - You better protect your little ding -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 13:25 1
      - ~ Sure was hard swimming 'cross that thing with both hands holding my ding ~ -- nm - Chuck Berry Aug 14, 13:29
- (referring to the Beltre injury) -- nm - Tim Aug 14, 13:12 3
  - Okay, someone needs to link. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 14, 13:26 1
    - Owie. -- (link) - Tim Aug 14, 13:27
  - thought so...*wince* -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:12
- But then your team trades Frenchy and everything is better. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 14, 13:11
- Only if you're a seagull. Or kevin youkilis. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:11 5
  - Or Arod. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:11 4
    - was it a baseball player who had the testicular fracture? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:12 3
      - Not sure but there was a football player that had to have his nads drained last year. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:14 2
        
        I'm tempted to name my FFL team "Kellen Winslow's Gigantic Nutsack". -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 14, 13:32 1
        
        Soldier! -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:34
Dr. Vermin: Universal, government-sponsored free preventative care clinics...great idea, but how would you pay for them? -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:09 21
- just bite the bullet and remove the tax-breaks on employer provided healthcare :) -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 13:17 1
  - *ding!* (i wish we could make posts in bold, or in bright red.) -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 13:18
- However Obama is planning to pay for his current proposal. - Dr.Vermin Aug 14, 13:15 2
  - tax the rich!!! :) -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:29
  - Keep the federal government out of my Medicare! -- nm - BB Aug 14, 13:26
- And furthermore, what would you do when all the PCPs left for Japan or Europe? -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 13:12 9
  - Because they have private, for-profit health care there! - BB Aug 14, 13:17 8
    - The only point I'm making is, some of these things sound great, but they all have consequences. - TFox Aug 14, 13:22 7
      - I haven't seen any specific data, but it would seem to me that these clinics would cater more towards people who don't already have access - znufrii Aug 14, 13:26 6
        
        It's not checkups, so much as sore throats and migraines and stomach bugs and stuff. And really... - TFox Aug 14, 13:30 1
        
        gotcha - znufrii Aug 14, 13:32
        
        and in any case, it wouldn't be hard to develop a clinic model that employed doctors, rather than putting them out of business. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:27 3
        
        All of them? That's a shitload of clinics. -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 13:31 2
        
        If you're talking aobut guaranteeing free universal access to preventative care, you'd pretty much need to leverage existing provider infrastructure. -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:34
        
        (Then, you're basically talking about the gov't paying PCPs salaries, which neither the gov't nor the PCPs want.) -- nm - TFox Aug 14, 13:32
- Every 100th patient is cut up and sold off as parts. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:10 4
  - but we don't want to be indiscriminate and kill off someone who would otherwise be productive...we'll need to create some sort of panel to decide... -- nm - znufrii Aug 14, 13:15 1
    - Can I be in charge of naming that panel? -- nm - Sarah Palin Aug 14, 13:19
  - that's not very communal. Everyone should be forced to give up a kidney. And also buy a kidney. -- nm - Roger More Aug 14, 13:12 1
    - Change that to liver, and I am onboard. -- nm - dawson Aug 14, 13:15
- piracy. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:09
another listing just came up, nice. This is more action - with regard to decent listings - than we've seen in two weeks -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:06 8
- They know you are incapacitated. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:06 7
  - how cruel. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:09 6
    - It is highschool all over again! -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:09 5
      - I never went to high school. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:10 4
        
        Your educational history fascinates me. -- nm - David, Nailin' It Aug 14, 13:12 1
        
        up to grade 6 in various public schools (moved towns a lot) ... 7 thru 9 via homeschooling, math 10 via homeschool, math 11 at college ... - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:13
        
        *ding* - Spawn Aug 14, 13:11 1
        
        (I do have a high school diploma, though. Go me!) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:11
MDH's NY Times link is more impressive for the web design than it is the content. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:04
like clockwork - a mere week after I make a trade for Dwayne Bowe, he is pulled from the starting lineup -- nm - Guy Aug 14, 13:03 16
- That's okay. You only gave up Micheal Turner, and Peyton Manning to get him. -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 13:05 9
  - worse - MJD - Guy Aug 14, 13:21 4
    - I can be your FF babysitter if you would like. Email all trades to me so the little kiddies don't take your Mickey Mantle rookie card for a Bud Selig -- nm - Redmond Aug 14, 13:24 3
      - i really had no choice. it was keep MJD and nobody else or trade him for 3 decent keepers - Guy Aug 14, 13:29 2
        
        Instead, you traded MJD for Donald Driver. - Will Hunting Aug 14, 13:31 1
        
        ...and Rodgers & Williams - Guy Aug 14, 13:42
  - guy. gave. up. laser. rocket. arm?!? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 14, 13:06 3
    - Words can not express how happy I am that the keeper team I picked up (new league for me) has him on it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:08 2
      - I got jipped on that. my team is terrible -- nm - Guy Aug 14, 13:20 1
        
        Mine has no RBs. 4 from 2 teams. All awful. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:32
- You need to start imposing a one week waiting period on your trades, then. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:04
- He is too talented not to be in the starting lineup - amoxy Aug 14, 13:04 4
  - If it's anything but an attempt to shake up his attitude, I'll be shocked. -- nm - Reagen Aug 14, 13:05 2
    - [deleted]
    - That was my guess also -- nm - amoxy Aug 14, 13:07
  - The team is ran by Guy. -- nm - Spawn Aug 14, 13:04
[deleted] 6
- When Death Panels Attack -- nm - nubby, Astronauts champion Aug 14, 13:09
- Settle down, there, Yosemite Sam. -- nm - Mop (234 lbs) Aug 14, 13:04
- and "ka-ching! ka-ching! ka-ching!" -- nm - M.I.A. Aug 14, 13:01
- *splurt* roided up? -- nm - HdnAgnda Aug 14, 13:01
- Take that, b*tches. -- nm - 72-year-old restaurant supply store owner Aug 14, 13:00 1
