- 10 -- nm - Spawn Oct 8, 13:15
- While travelling - 10. Somewhere like Chilli's - 6. Somewhere nice - 2 -- nm - Roger More Oct 8, 13:15
- Comfort doesn't enter into it, as it seems pointless in the first place. -- nm - The Devil and Daniel Vermin Oct 8, 13:14 1
  - I'm generally with you on this. I'm rarely hanging out on my own and then randomly crave lobster or something. -- nm - con_carne Oct 8, 13:15
- 8 -- nm - crash davis Oct 8, 13:14
- 8 -- nm - TFox Oct 8, 13:14

- 4 -- nm - Epiphany Oct 8, 13:14
before I started World War Z, I finished The Brass Verdict by Michael Connolly. It had some interesting stuff about defense lawyers. - crash davis Oct 8, 13:07 9
- most of the time they sell you on the defense when they already know that this and that charge will be dropped, they'll offer prob and time served etc - zeitgeist Oct 8, 13:20
- I see a theme. One book is about brain-eating auomatons and the other is about zombies. nm - Dignan Oct 8, 13:11
- [deleted] 2
  - that must be a pain in the hindquarters -- nm - crash davis Oct 8, 13:14
  - What would be the Minnesota equivalent of a Lincoln Lawyer? - Beryllium Oct 8, 13:13
- I read that one on my trip. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 13:08 3
  - I really like Michael Connolly -- nm - crash davis Oct 8, 13:08 2
    - I do too, but ... (spoils) - Beryllium Oct 8, 13:09 1

- Lauryn Hill went solo, had a major critically acclaimed and successful album, fell off face of earth. -- nm - ty97 Oct 8, 13:06 6

    - He still gets behind the microphone too. -- nm - TFox Oct 8, 13:08
  - That second album was... yeah, not good. -- nm - nubby Oct 8, 13:07 1
    - IMO, the first album hasn't aged especially well either. -- nm - TFox Oct 8, 13:13

- you're right, but it also helps to have an ideal to look up to (the President, for example) to inspire people to change. -- nm - znufrii Oct 8, 13:09
- I imagine it's comforting to those who live in the community that the higher ups in the government at least appear to be doing something. - Loyola Oct 8, 13:08 3
  - I can see that. I guess the bigger question is: How do you solve it? - ty97 Oct 8, 13:09 2
    - I agree with you that it has to start ostensibly from within the homes and community. I don't have high hopes for that happening though as society - Loyola Oct 8, 13:15
    - all they can really do is spitball ideas and implement some and see if it works. There's not a single firm solution to implement. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 8, 13:10

I've had a really long week. Considering going to see a movie tonight: Pandorum, the Informant, or Whip It? -- nm - Hotkiss Oct 8, 12:52 18

I may be really late, but has ST heard that there are astronauts admitting there's an alien base on the moon? -- (link) - MDH Oct 8, 12:49 7
- I love that we're hitting the moon with a "kinetic weapon" (i.e. rail gun) -- nm - Mop (232 lbs) Oct 8, 12:58
