baking recipes are confusing - adventy97 Dec 22, 10:02 5

- "mix." -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 10:08
- one is for the wet stuff one for the dry - Danedukenuuk Dec 22, 10:05

- cream - mush it together to make it smooth. beat - with a whisk, vigorously. combine - just till mixed together. - Elf Andie Dec 22, 10:04
realization: cheating cookies (based on cake mix) are not as good as from-scratch cookies - adventy97 Dec 22, 09:57 13
- this is true for ALL types of cookies copared to thoose my mom used to make from scratch - Danedukenuuk Dec 22, 10:06
- cookies are really not that hard. it's not any easier to cheat than to do it from scratch. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 10:00 9
  - 1) buy the cookie sausage 2) chop the cookie sausage. 3) bake the cookie sausage slices -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 10:07 5
    - that stuff is too pricy the ingredients are far cheaper - Danedukenuuk Dec 22, 10:10 1
      - that's what you are paying for though. fool-proofness and speed. - Elf Andie Dec 22, 10:12

    - oddly, that recipe worked find (using a devil's food cake mix). I'm trying to replicate with a yellow cake mix to make M&M cookies. - adventy97 Dec 22, 10:02 1
      - kare's hazel bloom! stat! -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 10:05
- and muffins are just an excuse to eat cake for breakfast -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 09:59
- Cookies from a cake mix? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 09:59
Here is a question: a person lives on a houseboat under a bridge. A jumper jumps off the bridge, misses the water, and smashes through the boat's roof - amanda Dec 22, 09:52 19
- don't live under bridges in houseboats.... -- nm - Danedukenuuk Dec 22, 10:07
- Sue the hospital. No... wait... that was a Seinfeld episode. -- nm - Fiiiiiiive Cuzzin Todds Dec 22, 10:02
- they go after him for damages (assuming the jump was negligent) whether he has insurance or not. obvs the chance of recovery is better if he has - mr. squiggles Dec 22, 09:59 2
  - the houseboat owner reports in that it is the *city's* responsibility for not making the bridge jump-proof. what?? - amanda Dec 22, 10:06
  - yep. Or a PLUP if you have one (most don't). -- nm - Callisto Dec 22, 10:01
- Likely yes to all. -- nm - Callisto Dec 22, 09:53 1
  - (but a houseboat policy is probably different than a regular homeowners policy, so there would be complications) -- nm - Callisto Dec 22, 09:54

    - and is wearing a 50 caliber necklace? nm -- nm - groiny Dec 22, 09:55 2
      - and what it he doesn't jump, but is pushed? -- nm - Loosi Lou Who Dec 22, 10:00 1
        
        Act of God if God pushed him. -- nm - Loyola Dec 22, 10:01

      - maybe not *lit* but what about spontaneous combustion? -- nm - zork Dec 22, 09:56 2
        
        (there was a story yesterday about a dude who lit himself on fire and jumped off a cliff) -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 09:57 1
        
        I took Dano's post as being lit by someone else on the way down. of course I hadn't thought of flaming arrows or well thrown torches at the time. -- nm - zork Dec 22, 09:59
      - depends how much they hang out with Michael Westen, really. -- nm - Callisto Dec 22, 09:55
      - *watches the beginning of Magnolia again* -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 22, 09:55
This looks like a very useful Firefox add-on, but it's not compatible with Tab Mix Plus, so no go on my PC. -- (link) - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 22, 09:51 1
- I don't get what it is. App Tab? Gmail isn't really an App, and neither is Firefox Addons...they're web pages. So it's like smaller bookmarks? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 22, 09:57

    - I'm still livid that the score from There Will Be Blood was DQed from Oscar consideration for this reason - znufrii Dec 22, 09:48 2

- "The head of my enemy" is pretty par for the course for Mop Jr. -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 22, 09:42 1
  - So you have a Stewie. :) -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 22, 09:50

  - That is unusual? -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 22, 09:39 3
    - She's turning 7. I thought it was unusual for a girl of that age -- nm - oblique Dec 22, 09:42 2
      - she's gonna become Jodie Foster. -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 09:43 1

- it would last about a week -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 09:35 2
  - really? 20 minutes + 10 minutes + ~5 minutes + ~5 minutes = 1 week? talk about feeling the burn! -- nm - zork Dec 22, 09:38 1
    - I lack follow-through. It has nothing to do with "the burn". -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 09:45
The whole Health care bill passage has really diminished the power of the Presidency in my eyes. - Loyola Dec 22, 09:34 10
- You believed them when they said stuff like that before this? HA! -- nm - Ender Dec 22, 09:43 1
  - I work from the basis that all politicians are liars until they prove otherwise. - Loyola Dec 22, 09:47
- I think a big factor has been that (as with the stimulus package) Obama allowed Congress to write the legislation, rather than putting forward his own - Roger More Dec 22, 09:40 7
  - He proved he's a rookie. Either he's not learned how to lead; or he's bereft of ideas on how to. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 09:44 5
    - I think he knew from the word go that what he wants to do is different than what he is able to do. - znufrii Dec 22, 09:58
    - [deleted] 3
      - Of course, cuz he helped fubar the debate for the last 8 months. - Will Hunting Dec 22, 09:54 2
        
        Are you referring to his backpedaling on the poublic option? That's tough. - con_carne Dec 22, 09:59 1
        
        He had no plan all along. He wrote a mission statement and let Reid and Pelosi do details. Those 2 bumbling assclowns couldn't come up with plans on - Will Hunting Dec 22, 10:06
  - Even if he had put forward his own proposal, it would have been gutted by the Senate so as to render it unrecognisable from Obama's original - Loyola Dec 22, 09:43
Speaking as a former BF (what would become Astronaut) champion, the only reason ML was an Astronaut champion was because I was in Cavemen at the time. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 22, 09:32 12

        FF playoffs are a flawed system. - groiny Dec 22, 09:39 2
        
        I factor that in when I draft. You have to. -- nm - Let it Spawn, let it Spawn, let it Spawn! Dec 22, 09:40 1

  - See? -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 22, 09:38
if it's the GOP program, why is the GOP acting like it involves mandatory abortions performed by illegal immigrants? -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 09:29 30
- No one said the current bill is anything like the GOP plan, doofus. - *DOCTOR* Vermin Dec 22, 09:37 10
  - to be completely frank, you're arguing against a strawman here, because even with the most liberal democratic proposals - znufrii Dec 22, 09:39 6
    - also, he's talking about Mop's interpretation of said plan. -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 09:41 5
      - Your doofussery is dissipating. -- nm - *DOCTOR* Vermin Dec 22, 09:49 4
        
        oh please. It's your job to be coherent in the first place. -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 09:52 3
        
        Hey, you figured it out....... eventually! - *DOCTOR* Vermin Dec 22, 09:58 2
        
        how similiar you're being to Guy here should give you pause. -- nm - Reagen Dec 22, 10:01 1
        
        Let's not say things we can't take back, doofus. -- nm - *DOCTOR* Vermin, ;) Dec 22, 10:09

    - Linky McLink -- (link) - *DOCTOR* Vermin Dec 22, 09:47 1
      - Thanks - your link header is a wonderful example of saying stuff without saying anything. I'm sure the Dem plan summary is very similar - Roger More Dec 22, 10:05
    - [deleted] 7
      - Thanks - personally I think it does some nice stuff around the edges, but doesn't address the key issue of reducing costs. Obviously the Dem plan - Roger More Dec 22, 09:55
      - [deleted] 5
        
        If it reduces the unnecessary extra testing that doctors do out of fear of litigation. Doofus. - *DOCTOR* Vermin Dec 22, 09:57 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Ignore the doctor lobby! Don't betray the lawyer lobby! *snork* -- nm - *DOCTOR* Vermin Dec 22, 10:09
        
        Wasn't there a study posted here a few months ago that said tort reform would reduce healthcare costs by ~2%? -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 10:03 1

    - [deleted]
    - "Give everyone a gun and one bullet" -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 09:44
- Because the GOP is smarter at politics than policy. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 09:29 3
  - *golf clap* -- nm - Mop (229 lbs) Dec 22, 09:40
  - replace "GOP" with "politicians", and bingo. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 09:31 1
    - No, the Democrats prove quite incompetent when it comes to politics. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 22, 09:37
you'd think, if it was in fact so close to the "GOP Plan" for health care reform they might've gotten one or two GOP senators to actually vote for it? -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 09:29 2
- obligatory, going through the motions post: Lieberman voted for it, didn't he? -- nm - Roger More Dec 22, 09:32 1
  - the final vote hasn't taken place, but he has voted to allow it to proceed -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 09:33
My snow can beat up your snow -- nm - zork SI Dec 22, 09:28 8

    - We have a lot more snow now than we normally would here - Reagen Dec 22, 09:37 3
      - we're freakishly snow-free this year. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 22, 09:38 2
        
        (we wouldn't normally have much, but there's been one, minor snowfall, and it's long gone.) - Elf Andie Dec 22, 09:38 1
        
        we still have some on the ground, except it has hardened into ice; and Calgary gets it late but it goes on until the end of the hockey playoffs -- nm - zork Dec 22, 09:40
    - We have no snow here right now. (And the arctic does get snow and blowing ice crystals) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 22, 09:37
- aren't you just getting rain? -- nm - Dano Ho Ho Dec 22, 09:29
Resolutions: get under 190lbs and stay there, run at least six miles a week, do a 5K with my sister this summer. - 2010: The Year We Make Vermin Dec 22, 09:27 8
