New National Park in NF & Lab, 11,000 square km and NF is setting up a new Provincial Park adjacent to it (another 2000 sq km) -- (link) - Beaker Feb 6, 17:08
Just got a notice from Chase...they are raising their NSF fee to $34 and will charge an additional $15 starting the 5th day it is overdrawn and they - CrankYanker Feb 6, 17:06 6
- easy solution: stop overdrawing. -- nm - amandize Feb 6, 17:15 1

- The "without your approval" means they are no longer going to approve transactions that would take you over your limit. - TWuG Feb 6, 17:10 3
  - Well then, I APPROVE ! -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 17:11 2
    - You have that backwards. You don't want to approve them to do that. - TWuG Feb 6, 17:14 1
      - I know -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 17:37
It figures. I was planning on shoveling the driveway some (at least clearing a path to the street) once the kids were asleep. Andrew's normally - Don Homer Feb 6, 17:02 3

If I don't put soap in the dishwasher, will it flood? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:36 18
- why... would it? -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:37 17
  - well ... who knows. I've heard that if you put regular dish soap in, it will. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:38 16
    - It won't flood, but if you put dishwashing soap (not dish*washer* soap) in it, you'll have bubbles and a mess everywhere. - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:42 6
      - K, that puts my concerns to rest. (The dishwasher cycle got stopped more than halfway through, but I don't know how much more) - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:43 5
        
        You should run your dishwasher once a month empty, with no soap, and pour a bunch of white vinegar in the bottom of the machine and let it run. - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:46 4
        
        I do this with CLR. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:48
        
        Never heard of doing this; how much is a "bunch"? -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:47 2

    - If I don't put a match in my fireplace, will it explode? -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:41 4
      - If I don't put a **** in my ****, will I get pregnant? -- nm - mara Feb 6, 16:55 2
        
        wasn't there a link posted here about this, involving a stabbing? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:57 1
        
        Hee, yes! -- nm - mara Feb 6, 17:02
      - Oh, you have a natural gas fireplace? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:42
    - (So, based on that ... either the dish soap breaks the seal, or lacks a thickening agent. Yeah! Dishwashers use thick water! get upset about THAT!) - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:39 3
      - Dish soap creates foam, which tends to find a way through the seal.......trust me on this :) - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:41 2
        
        oh yes it does. -- nm - loosilu in hibernation Feb 6, 17:38
        
        Word. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:42
Final total -- 28" -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 6, 16:20 25
- I tried measuring in a few different places on the front walkway around 3:30, but they varied widely: 27", 34, 31, 37, 29 -- nm - Don Homer Feb 6, 16:53
- we had 26". I wonder if your total was the absolute highest. is there a list? -- nm - amandize Feb 6, 16:37 7
  - There's a few random places that got 30+.....Elkridge MD (2miles from Bawlmer) had 30" at 8am. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 6, 16:46 1
    - Probably closer to 10 or so miles, but yeah. Actually, that's the town to the nw of us. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 6, 16:59
  - Got pictures? nm - Dignan Feb 6, 16:39 4
    - oh hell no. I'm in new hamsphire, where there is no snow. why would I go to a blizzard for the weekend. christ, you're dumb. -- nm - amandize Feb 6, 16:41 3
      - I meant pictures of you in the shower or something. Christ, you're dumb. nm - Dignan Feb 6, 16:43 2
        
        I need a new micro SD card. see below. maybe next week. -- nm - amandize Feb 6, 16:46 1
        
        You'll need 16GBs to capture all of your ass. nm - Dignan Feb 6, 16:51
- The deepest natural flat area I could find around here was 18-19" -- nm - Max Feb 6, 16:28 1
  - Yeah, i saw Reagan Nat'l was talking 14" when everyone else was north of 20+ - Will Hunting Feb 6, 16:29
- I would take that over the rain we're having because I wouldn't have to go out in it...SoCal would be closed. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:22 13
  - seriously? Is there massive flooding I'm unaware of? -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 16:32 3
    - Like I said earlier, I live here because it doesn't rain. I don't like wearing a suit, overcoat, and using an umbrella to drive clients around. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:35 2
      - Right. So you're whining that it's not sunny 365 days out of the year? - ty97 Feb 6, 16:38 1
        
        No, I'm not whining because it's raining and I'm not asking for sympathy.... just posting my preference in weather and place to live. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:41
  - eventually you *do* have to go out in it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 16:25 1
    - Not here, it would be declared a disaster area with State assistance and the National Guard. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:30
  - It....stays until you do something with it. - Will Hunting Feb 6, 16:24 6
    - The melting thing would happen here pretty quickly. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:25 5
      - yeah, we're hoping it goes 'slowly' so the flooding isn't that bad. - Will Hunting Feb 6, 16:27 4
        
        isn't a foot of snow = to one inch of rain? -- nm - amandize Feb 6, 16:44 2
        
        depends on the kind of snow, but more or less. - Reagen Feb 6, 17:22
        
        I believe so. - Will Hunting Feb 6, 16:47
        
        The fun comes when that snow is followed by freezing rain and those cars that are buried in snow become blocks of ice...... - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:31
ST opinion poll - at Home Depot, if a dayworker offers to load your purchases in the car, do you accept and slip him a dollar or chase him away? - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:11 6
- Are they even allowed to be in the parking lot? I thought they have to hang out outside HD's property. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 6, 16:30 2
  - I guess they were technically out on the sidewalk, but I was parked right by the driveway. -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:38
  - We have a bigger dayworker population than you do; they're like flies, the police shoo them away and they come right back. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:33
- A dayworker? never. I would ask an employee if I needed help. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:19 2
  - But see, that's the point, I really didn't *need* help :) -- nm - MojaveMeg Feb 6, 16:27 1
    - Day worker = gardener........I would be afraid he would run away with the potting soil. ;-) -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 16:32
Speaking of books, has anyone read the Percy Jackson books? The trailer for the movie looks interesting. -- (link) - CovingtonCat Feb 6, 16:06
Iron Chef America has a new battle tonight in 3 hours. -- nm - peglegpete Feb 6, 16:03
hey I have a great idea for an ebook, see since the reader has a screen that can show pictures, we could have people dressed like the characters in... - zeitgeist Feb 6, 16:02
Dear Pepsi, if the "throwback" stuff became your normal Pepsi, you'd make more money. -- nm - Tim Feb 6, 16:00 3
- I love, love, love their Mountain Dew throwback. -- nm - Stephen Feb 6, 16:04 2
  - Word. And I love the Pepsi Throwback so much better than the normal stuff. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 16:43

AICN reporting that the Captain America film will be set in WWII instead of modernizing it and the villain will be the Red Skull. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 6, 15:48 8
- Excellent. Now, bear with me here because this is going to frighten some of you, but - TWuG Feb 6, 16:57
- AICN reporting that = head Explodes -- nm - Danedukenuuk Feb 6, 16:15
- *likes this post* - Stephen Feb 6, 16:04
- it'll still end up with him frozen in ice at the end being woken up by The avengers -- nm - Remlik Feb 6, 15:49 3
  - I would expect that's the reasoning. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 6, 16:32
  - SPOILER! -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 15:49 1
    - that should mean baron Zemo is also a character in it -- nm - peglegpete Feb 6, 16:17

who's our favorite source for micro SD cards in the 4-8GB range? do we have one? -- nm - amandize Feb 6, 15:40 5
- I was just looking on Amazon recently and they had (what seemed to be) some good deals. - Cuzzin Todd Feb 6, 16:02 2
  - yes indeed. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 6, 17:06
  - 8G for $13 -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Feb 6, 16:08
- I guess it depends if you have a brand. I use SanDisk because that's what was suggested for my DSLR - Guigue Feb 6, 15:43
- newegg? -- nm - lileve Feb 6, 15:42
That doesn't seem like very serious marketing... A tool for managing corporate IT, slogan is "Take the sh out of IT." -- nm - Guigue Feb 6, 15:33 2
- "sh" is one of the default unix shells. So this is brilliant. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 16:52
- what's the average age of an IT worker? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 15:57

REB2: I like my e-book reader. E-books are worth less to me than paper books, because I can't transfer/sell ownership of an e-book like I can with a - ty97 Feb 6, 15:27 19
- The book publishing industry apparently wants to be as idiotic as the RIAA was. -- nm - Don Homer Feb 6, 17:04
- totally. there are 11 books in my hotel room right now. of those 7 are borrowed from other people. there are five books in my car - amandize Feb 6, 15:37 2
  - You can sort of get around this now by authorizing other readers on the same account but it's definitely not as convenient. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 15:49
  - My Kindle has a lot of public domain classic from manybooks/gutenberg, as well as free/cheap titles from Amazon, and a few 'regular' price e-books - ty97 Feb 6, 15:45
- Also: I doubt I'll ever spend 14.99 on an e-book. I'm hard-pressed to spend 9.99 now, that feels high for most books. - ty97 Feb 6, 15:29 14
  - All this stuff should be free! -- nm - A bunch of 20 somethings Tim knows Feb 6, 15:38
  - Ah, I wonder if publishers are pushing for higher pricing of e-books because there's no secondary market like there is for paperbacks? -- nm - CovingtonCat Feb 6, 15:33 2
    - That would mean they should be cheaper. Everyone needs to buy a new book from the publisher instead of buying a used one from someone. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 6, 15:44 1
      - no, he means paperback as secondary vs hardcovers. -- nm - Reagen Feb 6, 15:50
  - This might sound like a stupid question, but can you "check out" library books for your kindle? - psilotum Feb 6, 15:32 9
    - talking book library for the blind is converting to digital so eventually yes -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 6, 17:21
    - I check out books on my Sony. nm - Dignan Feb 6, 16:53 2

        The PRS-505. - Dignan Feb 6, 17:20
    - the library model is going to die as it relates to eBooks - stewie Feb 6, 15:45
    - You can't for the Kindle, even though you can for Sony's ereaders and the Nook. -- nm - mara Feb 6, 15:34 3
      - Well, let me rephrase that. If the library purchased ebooks from Amazon, maybe you could check them out from the library. I'm not sure if any library - mara Feb 6, 15:38 2
        
        I came across an article recently discussing whether library could loan Kindles or not -- (link) - ty97 Feb 6, 15:43 1

- So that turns out not to be their attitude? So what it their attitude? -- nm - mara Feb 6, 15:26 3
  - They are always very helpful and cheerful. The media usually gives them a bad wrap. -- nm - CrankYanker Feb 6, 15:56 1
    - Ah, good! -- nm - mara Feb 6, 16:57
