Is it "safe" to put couch cushion covers in the dryer on low heat? They won't really shrink if they're on low heat, will they? -- nm - kelly Jan 27, 15:09 9

Sweet! Chuck's viewer numbers improved ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:00 3
- yay! Adding Brandon Routh was a good move. Hope Kristin Kreuk adds more viewers too. Not sure if they're regulars or just guest-stars tho... -- nm - fedup Jan 27, 15:14 2
  - Adding Routh is never a good move. He's awful in this too. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 27, 15:15 1

So I finally got around to watching the premiere episode of Life Unexpected and rather enjoyed it - JD Jan 27, 14:57 3
- My wife tried to watch it while I was in the room ... I threatened to make her watch Human Target. - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:59 2
  - A dramatization is when you act out what happened. - con_carne Jan 27, 15:00 1
    - fine. I imbued it with more drama than was present in the real situation. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:01
Huh. It's like some companies don't *want* business. - kelly Jan 27, 14:57
And also, we reached our best day in sales on Monday, so we get free pizza tomorrow - amoxy Jan 27, 14:56 4
- Best day... ever? -- nm - con_carne Jan 27, 15:04
- Mmm, want pizza - but I don't want a *whole* pizza. Shoulda bought a slice when I was in Costco the other day. -- nm - MojaveMeg Jan 27, 15:02 2
  - I buy thier premade pizzas and cut them up when I get home. Cook what I want and freeze the ret -- nm - Soap McRemlik Jan 27, 15:07

If I was offered a free iPad, but had to give up my iPhone, I'd say Hell No. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:54

  - Do you mean Drabek? - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 27, 15:12
  - One of the guys in the Halladay trade maybe. Drabek, maybe? (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 15:09 1
    - That's who I was thinking of. One would hope you'd get a Top 50 for Halliday. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 15:11
  - Well, an average team will have one and a half, ish.... -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:58 1
    - Yeah, but I'm sure there'll be a few with none or only one. That's why I wonder about the Jays farm. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 27, 15:02
There is Sunshine outside today - amoxy Jan 27, 14:51 4

- they're called a "gaming party" -- nm - RC si Jan 27, 14:42 1
  - I guess forming "clans" in prison is frowned upon. heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:47
- Prisons promote gang activity. They could play Candyland in prison and it would "promote" gang activity. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 14:42
good gravy i'm exhausted. fortunately, it's not like i have dinner to make, a toddler to take care of and about 4 hours of work to do tonight. - prayformojo Jan 27, 14:40 3

pogue's first iPad impressions: Now Phase 2 can begin: the bashing by the bloggers who�ve never even tried it: �No physical keyboard!� �No removable -- (link) - tik tok Jan 27, 14:35 26
- Considering that the "guts" could be nothing more than an iTouch with a bigger screen, and the lack of multi tasking and low storage for a device that - scorpion Jan 27, 14:52
- His review of the iPad seems fair. Who cares about who bashes what though? (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 14:41 2
  - It's fair, but heavily biased towards "wait and see". -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:46
  - all must submit to Jobs! -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 14:42
- The "doesn't multi-task" seems like a pretty valid criticism. - Stephen Jan 27, 14:39 10
  - yep. It's still going to sell. But that issue is a big deal. - stewie Jan 27, 14:45 5
    - Where did we get the information that it doesn't multitask? Was it in the presentation? -- nm - Guigue Jan 27, 14:46 4
      - Nevermind, "official documentation" according to a website -- nm - Guigue Jan 27, 14:46 3
        
        Also the people that got to try it out - stewie Jan 27, 14:47 2
        
        Maybe they'll fix it at some point, I don't know. they always said the reason it's not allowed on the iPhone is for battery life - Guigue Jan 27, 14:50 1
        
        I think, on the 3G at least, the CPU may also be a bit too slow for it -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:51
  - I'll say this, I think it's neat, and if it were priced about $200 less, I'd be tempted to get one. (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 14:43 3
    - If it was $40, I would have pre-ordered it already. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:44 2
      - If it was free, I'd get 7! -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 14:44 1
        
        If they paid me to use it, I'd ... oh, never mind. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 14:45
- So praising it by people who've never tried it is okay, but criticising isn't? -- nm - mara Jan 27, 14:38 1
  - well that's just different, mara. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 14:40
- The iPad can only be compared against all the other tablets out there. This is hardly a precedent setting device like the iPhone was. - Mop (226 lbs) Jan 27, 14:37
- Those are all valid criticisms. (Except maybe the "too expensive" one) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 14:36 7
  - Really? I think that that's the most valid of the criticisms. - musubi Jan 27, 14:45 6
    - considering predictions were in the $1000+ range, it's pretty reasonable -- nm - tik tok Jan 27, 14:46 5
      - Who the eff would pay $1k for that? (nm) - musubi Jan 27, 14:54 4
        
        at the higher end, it almost is. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 14:56 1
        
        I assumed he meant 1K as the base price. - musubi Jan 27, 15:18
        
        how can you put a price tag on "the future"? -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:56
        
        Extrapolating from other products, it made sense. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 14:55
there are just way too many feminine hygiene product jokes being made today - tik tok Jan 27, 14:33 2

    - [deleted]
    - The number is beside the point. The point is how policies are justified -- the philosophy behind it. -- nm - mara Jan 27, 14:39 17
      - Not necessarily. Just because six couples figured out a loophole in how to get married by lopping off the johnson doesn't undermine the entire policy - TFox Jan 27, 14:43 16
        
        [deleted] 9
        
        my point, i guess, is that is seems simpler to close off the transgenders than it does to open the gates for all. no? -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:48 8
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        well then, i'm all for it. go defeat the fuck out of that shit. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:55

        and what i meant is, to the gay marriage opposition, it won't be stupid at all. they will find a way to craft another argument... - TFox Jan 27, 14:57 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        (it's extremely persuasive to most all logical folks. gay marriage would be great. the lack of it is fucked up. trannies or no.) -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 15:01
        
        talk about committing yourself to the cause. -- nm - Reagen Jan 27, 14:45 2

        i can't believe i missed that in my exhaustive research. i'm disappointed in myself. -- nm - TFox Jan 27, 14:49
