- I listen to it occasionally. They're mostly on the money. - Reagen Mar 1, 22:14
Good DWTS cast. Lots of potential, some b-list (ok, maybe c-list) names. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 21:58 4
- I do wish someone would show me these lists we keep talking about -- nm - con_carne Mar 1, 22:08 2
  - maybe if you weren't a D-lister. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 22:10 1
    - (I just got an idea for the most boring reality show of all time) -- nm - con_carne Mar 1, 22:12
- and we know Erin Andrews can shake her butt. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 22:04
Bachelor finale sorta-spoilers... - Mop Mar 1, 21:53
wow, Dustin Hoffman is doing TV ("Luck" the new series from David Milch) -- (link) - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 21:46 5

      - Mop sees (and replies to) dead people. -- nm - David Mar 1, 21:59

Hmm.. tomorrow we are sawing the skull and taking the brain out of the cadaver. That is kind of disturbing. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 1, 21:31 11
- before or after lunch? -- nm - peglegpete Mar 1, 22:12 1
  - hehe.. an hour after lunch. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 1, 22:15
- Meh. He doesn't need it any more. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 21:59
- what kind of section? -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 21:33 4
  - Horizontal, just above the eyes I believe. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 1, 21:40 3

  - she's got nightys and robes, I'm geting her a cd player, don't think cosmetics are allowed? -- nm - z-droid Mar 1, 21:44 4
    - Why shouldn't they be? You don't use them on your knees. A mirror/compact would be useful in that case. Maybe a nice smelling lotion? - MojaveMeg Mar 1, 21:58 3
      - Actually, hospitals really dislike things that have smells. You never know which patient has which allergy. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 1, 22:01 2
        
        They also dislike answering patient call buttons, or reading chart instructions, but they have to live with it. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 1, 22:08 1

  - Hmmm, I should modify my trifle recipe. Bet I could make it virtually sugar and fat free :) - MojaveMeg Mar 1, 21:23 2
    - there are some good fat/sugar free puddings out there -- nm - peglegpete Mar 1, 21:27 1
      - Sugar free/instant pudding & pie fillings - use them often. -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 1, 21:30

What is it that I need to split my network port into multiple ports? A bridge? A switch? I know it's not a router. - Mop Mar 1, 20:31 7
- Switch. Switch. Switch. I'm never gonna remember that. I should go to Newegg right now. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 20:34 1
  - so far i have had no problems with the trendnet "green" switches - tRuMaN Mar 1, 20:38
- Switch, or if you have an unused router they generally work like a switch when nothing's plugged into the uplink port. -- nm - Subversive Mar 1, 20:34
- Switch -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 20:34 2
  - oh, and btw, I've found pretty good deals for older Dell switches (24 port 10/100 + 2 GB uplinks) on eBay. Work great and are solid -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 20:34 1
    - sadly, the origijnal and the replacement i got off ebay both died within a month - tRuMaN Mar 1, 20:37
- a switch would be better than a hub. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 1, 20:31

Fuzzy: The density tells you how much sugar is left. Yesterday we checked the Superior Strong Ale and it had a density of 1.026, which is too high. - loosilu Mar 1, 19:49 10
- Maybe you need champagne yeast. -- nm - pslalom Mar 1, 20:34

  - do you ever have to worry about, um, explosions? -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:52 6
    - On a different topic, how have you been enjoying painting again? - Fuzzy Mar 1, 20:04 3
      - awkward at first. Very much like speaking a foreign language after not having done it in awhile. - loosilu Mar 1, 20:36 2
        
        Also like sex. You better not wait TOO long or you just might forget -- nm - Redmond Mar 1, 20:41 1

        so will Big Brain David. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 19:54 4
        
        i think he's still back on B2 posting copiously about Jeff Francouer -- nm - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 19:57 3
        
        Or, as I call him, Life's 0-2 Count. -- nm - David Mar 1, 20:08 2
        
        It's a bit long for a nickname, but L02C would make a heck of a personalized license plate. -- nm - Subversive Mar 1, 20:12 1
        
        I am begging Mets fans to give him a code red by taking signs that say, "What's the count, Frenchy?" (nm) - David Mar 1, 20:47
        
        he's a scribbler of words, just not a reader of them! -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 19:50

- I have no idea, but that seemed to escalateto eleven out of nowhere -- nm - dogbert Mar 1, 19:50 6

Which is easier to make yourself - a decent beer, or decent wine? - kelly Mar 1, 19:39 28
- good wine is toughter imo. that might be because during my youth I drank some really, really bad beers so the worst I would say is "it's not the worst - dogbert Mar 1, 20:14
- I haven't tried wine. My brewmeister friends are beer geeks and they make *excellent* beer. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:46
- beer was easy. Never did wine. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 19:43 3
  - you did beer? do tell? -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:46 2
    - We have boutiques here that are dedicated to it. They will sell you the equipment and show you how to do it - con_carne Mar 1, 22:06
    - it was just stuff out of the kits that they started selling in the mid-90's.... - Remlik Mar 1, 19:52
- My family and I have really enjoyed making soft drinks. - Fuzzy Mar 1, 19:43
- i would think beer - jingoist pixie Mar 1, 19:40 20
  - there's a lot more wiggle room in the brewing process to still get something drinkable, yeah. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 19:41 19
    - If you screw up the wine you can still use the vinegar. -- nm - Redmond Mar 1, 19:42 18
      - Although, if I try making wine, at least there's a chance both of us will drink it. I'm the only beer drinker in the house. - kelly Mar 1, 19:49 11
        
        It's easy to make wine. It's hard to make wine that tastes good. - Redmond Mar 1, 19:50 10
        
        Oh, yeah. Will's brother made some wine over the holidays. - kelly Mar 1, 19:53 8
        
        however bad, it can't be as bad as my friend's first attempt at making mead. -- nm - znufrii Mar 1, 20:44
        
        one thing about it is that even the kit wines will improve with time. - Reagen Mar 1, 19:58 6
        
        Good point. -- nm - kelly Mar 1, 20:01
        
        The age factor is always hard to guess. I hate opening a bottle of wine and thinking, "this is pretty good, but in another year it would have been - Redmond Mar 1, 20:00 4
        
        which is why I love the fact that my favorite winery puts a spreadsheet on their website listing every release and vintage, telling you what's good to - znufrii Mar 1, 20:39 2
        
        we keep spreadsheets on the beer. although, I want more data. -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 20:41
        
        here -- (link) - znufrii Mar 1, 20:40
        
        I have heard that beer gets better over time, but we wouldn't know. - loosilu Mar 1, 20:39
        
        I can believe it. I have no idea how hard it is to make beer since I am not the brewmeister. They are seriously anal. - loosilu Mar 1, 19:52
      - I feel like I should get into one or the other now that I have a cold storage room - Reagen Mar 1, 19:44 5
        
        Hey, I'm an ex-ChemE too. Never knew you were too. - Fuzzy Mar 1, 19:48 3
        
        Welcome to the ST scientist cabal! -- nm - loosilu Mar 1, 19:50
        
        Heh. What chased you out? - Reagen Mar 1, 19:50 1
        
        I moved into IT after a few years. It seemed to be a faster career path. - Fuzzy Mar 1, 19:54
        
        You'll be busy whipping up a mean formula. -- nm - kelly Mar 1, 19:47
