  - I also like Hopkins playing evil old Zorro. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:24

I have spent approximately 3-4 hours today trying to build and then cull playlists for my 2GB mp3 player. - TFox Jan 18, 20:09 30
- i'm level-seven weird. i do not own an mp3 player -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 20:20 3
  - iBox 0GB. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 20:25
  - but your wax cylinder collection is second-to-none. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:21 1
    - man, the (deceased) owner of my childhood home left behind a *ton* of 78 records in our attic - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 20:24
- I find 4GB to be the sweet spot. my phone is 16 and that's too much. my blue lipstick player is 2 and that's way not enough. - amanchester Jan 18, 20:11 25
  - I like around that amount, too. it makes me be choosier, so there's less skipping needed. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:18 2
    - exactly!! precisely! -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 20:19 1
      - *jumps over a couch* -- nm - Tom Cruise Jan 18, 20:21
  - I need a 20GB or more player as my "primary". This is my "workout" player. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 20:13 19
    - 8MB works fine for me. I have just one and never fill it. I could probably be fine with 4. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:16
    - I get kind of anxious about having less than 20 on a device. - Reagen Jan 18, 20:15 1
      - Filling this 2GB properly suuuucked. It was an interesting exercise but... I'm glad its done. - TFox Jan 18, 20:19
    - I like to be very active in managing my music. I like smaller players because they make me switch out music often. - amanchester Jan 18, 20:14 14
      - It's funny how people use these things differently. There are certain bands that I *need* their entire catalog on my iPod at all times. - TFox Jan 18, 20:17 13
        
        I like letting things go random too much for that. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:20 10
        
        yeah, i'm either in "listen to this album in order" or "listen to this artist on shuffle". those are my only two modes. - TFox Jan 18, 20:23 9
        
        I'm kind of sad for you. you'll never experience the magic that is two songs you wouldn't think would go together, um, going together. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:27 8
        
        I use songs to manage my mood. Something weird popping in would throw that off - Reagen Jan 18, 20:29 4
        
        I have this playlist called "depeche mode that makes me either happy or sad." it makes me manic. I kind of love it. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 20:37
        
        well, I can still do that if I want/need to, as I sometimes do. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:36
        
        My wife hates the way I listen to music. AC/DC can come up right after Little River Band and I go with it. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:34
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 20:29
        
        like hearing 311 and 2 Skinnee J's back to back. that's nirvana -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 20:28 2
        
        that *is* nirvana. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 20:31 1
        
        shit like that made HAL 9000 kill the crew -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 20:32
        
        This is how I am. I need every Radiohead song at finger tip away. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:18 1
        
        Radiohead was another one, but they were recently downgraded to a 3-4 album block. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 20:20
    - (I'm actually psyched about a 32GB phone, because I could retire the primary.) -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 20:13
  - your lips play mp3s? -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 20:12 1
    - I have an mp3 player that looks like a lipstick. it's kind of awesome. the "lipstick" is blue. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 20:15
Excel help? I want to pull data from a column, and average the results together. - Subversive Jan 18, 20:01 9
- Will AVERAGE(a1.a100) do that automagically? Or do you need to use the COUNTIF function? -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 20:03 8
  - You could do AVERAGE(A:A) will average the items in column A. I'm not sure what he's looking for exactly, tho. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 20:06
  - yes, it will ignore null values and blank cells automatically. it will not ignore zeros. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 20:05 5
    - Oh, sweet. I did not realize this. Thanks guys! -- nm - Subversive Jan 18, 20:06 4
      - thought AVG (A:A) stopped at the first blank cell -- nm - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 18, 20:08 3
        
        =average(a:a) will average the entire column, but skip blanks. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 20:11
        
        not according to the test i just did. -- nm - TFox Jan 18, 20:10 1
        
        Yeah, it's working perfectly. -- nm - Subversive Jan 18, 20:13
  - =SUMIF and =COUNTIF then AVG would be =SUMIF / COUNTIF - lone canadian leafs fan Jan 18, 20:05
Would you like to hear a story about how one of my wife's new coworkers quit his job? - TWuG Jan 18, 19:53 26
- Just a note of clarification: PD = program director (his boss), not Police Department. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:17
- that's sad, and I hope he recovers. (and I hope the crazyness doesn't impact mrs. tee-woo-gee.) -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:04 2
  - He wouldn't have been an on-air partner. He covered a different shift. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:09 1
    - ah, I misinterpreted. glad it might bring a positive into the mix. -- nm - b! Jan 18, 20:12
- poor Casey Kasem - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 20:04
- that's an awesome story (I'm glad he's getting help), but that's old school radio stuff right there. -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 20:01 13
  - hey does your wife post on Radio - Info boards? -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 20:03 2
    - A few. I don't know what handle she uses, though. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:04 1
      - Yeah it's her. I was just looking in the Illionis markert board and there was a Springfield post. -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 20:06
  - you could apply for his slot! -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:01 9
    - if I didn't have a business and was 15 years younger I'd think about moving. But that part of the game is done for me. -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 20:04 8
      - And besides, it is Springfield. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 20:05 7
        
        as I said, 15 years younger and Springfield is a stepping stone market. -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 20:06
        
        Ugh. I'm really going to miss Columbus. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:05 5
        
        I'm just teasing. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 20:07 3
        
        :-) I know. But Springfield has Chicago and St Louis which is a nice bonus. -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 20:10 2
        
        But that means Jim and groiny, which is not. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 20:12 1
        
        But being closer to Ty negates those negatives. ;-D -- nm - TWuG Jan 18, 20:13
        
        I liked Columbus when we pretend bombed it. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:06
- Wow. -- nm - kelly Jan 18, 20:00
- good grief -- nm - Epiphany Jan 18, 19:59
- We need to hear this. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 19:59 2
  - I know the station has a copy, but we do not. It's small market so I doubt it makes it to youtube. - TWuG Jan 18, 20:02 1
    - Totally understood. -- nm - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 20:04
- That sucks. -- nm - Subversive Jan 18, 19:57
- whoa. Good to hear he is getting help. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 19:55
Slogan results from b2. Thanks again, everyone, for voting. - loosilu Jan 18, 19:50 14
- are you selling? how do you get around LCB? (or whatever the DC VA version is? are you brewing at home or at a brewery? what's your projected output? - amanchester Jan 18, 20:05 11
  - it's a hobby, it's at a friends' place, and I don't know the details of LCB> -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:07 10
    - ...but Temperance follows the law to an excruciating degree, so we leave it to her. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:07 9
      - interesting. I know in PA you could *never* sell homebrew unless you were inspected by a health inspector etc. VA or DC must not have those rules. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 20:09 8
        
        oh, we don't sell it at all. it's free. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:10 7
        
        oh oh. I see. well then you can be as filthy as you want! (haha. I mean this as a joke totally.) I misunderstood. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 20:11 6
        
        we're excruciatingly sanitary as well. Tempe and I have both worked in labs. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:13 5
        
        Although it's booze, so... -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:13 4
        
        beer isn't strong enough to kill bacteria and mold. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:14 3
        
        my friends patrick and patryk would argue after last night that some beer is strong enough kill people. -- nm - amanchester Jan 18, 20:18 2
        
        bacteria and mold are stronger than people? -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:19 1
        
        er, that is not meant to be a question. I think it is most likely true. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:20
- you guys have a FB page yet? -- nm - Remlik Jan 18, 19:59 1
  - yes, want an invite? -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 20:04
Hey JaxSean - eag Jan 18, 19:40 6

    - I've had 3 pieces of moon cheese stolen so far. No luck. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 19:52 1
      - "I sounded the Hunter's Horn, but my efforts were fruitless. A Lycan mouse ate a piece of cheese without setting off my trap." Effer. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 18, 20:15
    - I caught my 2 with RB -- nm - eag Jan 18, 19:50

      - Mine was Shoney. He was just an invisible boy. We used to play Price is Right together with my Fisher Price toys. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 20:19
    - Does he have an imaginary Facebook profile that you can stalk? nm - Dignan Jan 18, 20:05 1
      - That relationship was entirely imaginarily platonic. -- nm - Dano Jan 18, 20:05
  - Every night before bed Ally makes me tell her a story "Once upon a time was a little girl named Deela..." she makes up the details and tells me what - Subversive Jan 18, 19:54 2
    - Wow. I love seeing the imagination kicking in. - Spawn: Champion of ST Jan 18, 20:04 1
      - Yeah, it's a ton of fun. She's already getting excited for her 3rd birthday in March. - Subversive Jan 18, 20:20
- The other day my kids screamed at each other for 15 minutes straight while fighting over a *plain styrofoam coffee cup*. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 18, 19:43 10
  - awww -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 19:45 9
    - (it's cute because they're not mine) -- nm - i'm gay for batman Jan 18, 19:45 8
      - I'm sure the neighbors think I'm running some kind of vivisection lab in there. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 18, 19:49 7
        
        this is funny. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 19:51 6
        
        There are times when I'm walking home from work where I can hear them a block before I get home. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 18, 19:52 5
        
        I had a reputation as quite a screamer when I was a kid. My dad said when my mom would take me into a public restroom, - loosilu Jan 18, 20:01
        
        So, opera singing lessons? -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 19:56 3
        
        Right wing talk radio? nm - Dignan Jan 18, 19:57
        
        It will happen to yoooou. nm - ralph wiggum Jan 18, 19:57 1
        
        Hey, I'm all about steering kids towards their natural talents. -- nm - Reagen Jan 18, 20:05

Breaking news from the WaPo: FBI broke the law for years to obtain phone records. -- (link) - loosilu Jan 18, 19:35 3
- This is neither breaking, nor news. Simply confirmation. -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 19:38 2
  - (sorry, my cynical side took over again) -- nm - ty97 Jan 18, 19:42 1
    - I don't think anyone is actually shocked by this. -- nm - loosilu Jan 18, 19:53
What fresh hell is this? -- nm - nubby Jan 18, 19:34
