probably already posted, but worth watching again: galactica sabotage -- (link) - mafic Mar 12, 08:00 [youtube] 1
- *snicker* -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 08:00
30 minutes after a drunken off-duty cop is allowed to drive away from an accident, he causes another one, with injuries. -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 07:58 5
- Yep - *my* tax dollars at work :( -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 12, 08:46
- Lock him up for good. Penalties for drunk driving are pathetic. -- nm - Don Homer Mar 12, 08:00 3
  - And take the badge of the one who let him go. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 08:01 2
    - If it's an unwritten department policy, it would be cruel to do that permanently. Definitely a suspension and a training program, though - Beryllium Mar 12, 08:02 1
      - If an on-duty officer let his off-duty drunk cop buddy continue to drive a 2 ton weapon, you don't need a written policy for that. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 08:08
Hmm. I think it is time for a new nick. -- nm - Kick Ass Mar 12, 07:47 6
- stretch dude and clobber girl! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 12, 07:56
- Chuck Norrass? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 12, 07:54
- Are we all supposed to change our nicks to reflect the sign on our back? - oblique Mar 12, 07:50 2
  - hmm. -- nm - ''Eat At Joes'' Mar 12, 07:55
  - nice -- nm - sycor Mar 12, 07:51
- what is something that spawn has never accomplished. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:48
Subliminal communication: "Sixteen milliseconds of exposure to the flag was enough to close the ideological gap between the two groups." -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 07:45
sitwap: Amazon Lightning Deal at 12 PM PST - Firefly: The Complete Series [Blu-ray] - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:38
If you had told me five years ago that one of my most anticipated movies of 2010 would be directed by Ben Affleck, I would have called you DLC. -- nm - Dano Mar 12, 07:36 2
- Ben Affleck directed Kick Ass? -- nm - Spawn Mar 12, 07:44
- Can you remind me what this is? - MDH Mar 12, 07:41

Ok. This is the best thing you're going to see all day -- (link) - oblique Mar 12, 07:34 5
- Or yesterday when I linked it here. But it is awesome! As I said yesterday, makes me want to watch the series all over again. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 07:37 4
  - See. It's the best thing on any day that you watch it! -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 07:37 3
    - I didn't check your link but is it the song and BSG or is it the song, the original video and BSG imagery side by side? -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 07:42 2
      - the latter. It lines up remarkably well -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 07:43 1
        
        Yes. Nevermore so then when - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 07:46

The Ricky Gervais and Larry David hatey on B2 surprises me (regardless of the show they appeared on). -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 07:30 6
- Gervais is brilliant. David is acerbic and self-loathing. - Beryllium Mar 12, 07:45
- I know very little about either but seeing Larry David on the Marriage Ref did not give me warm fuzzies - Epiphany Mar 12, 07:33 1
  - I like bitter :) -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 07:35
- Ricky Gervais cracks me up. On the flip side, I don't know how anything funny ever came out of Larry David. - JaxSean Mar 12, 07:32 2
  - The Contest! -- nm - Roger More Mar 12, 07:35
  - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:32
TE Ben Watson signs 3 year deal with the Browns -- (link) - Beaker Mar 12, 07:29
Weird. PS3 Move (motion controller) can't utilize 4 players with both controllers -- (link) - oblique Mar 12, 07:29 8
- That is disappointing. But, realistically, is this a even a real issue. -- nm - scorpion Mar 12, 07:40 2
  - I would expect the games that are more likely to be played by 4 players are also more likely to only require one controller-per-person. -- nm - Ender Mar 12, 07:53 1
    - You can only fit so many sword swinging game-geeks in one room without injury -- nm - scorpion Mar 12, 08:03
- I didn't even know Sony announced that. Is the little bubble at the end of the controller part of the actual remote? - Guigue Mar 12, 07:33 1
  - That's what the camera detects to fully determine changes in distance from the machine. - Ender Mar 12, 07:38
- I bet it's a hardware limitation somewhere -- nm - decline Mar 12, 07:32 2
  - The bluetooth chip can only connect with 7 devices. -- nm - Ender Mar 12, 07:33 1
    - in retrospect, this explains why the wii chuck is wired. - decline Mar 12, 07:42
Twenty million barrels of oil sit beneath Los Angeles. Hidden in plain sight, thousands of wells pump day and night all over the city.....(link) - Walt_Disney Mar 12, 07:21 3
- Volcanoe! -- nm - Tommy Lee Jones Mar 12, 07:28

  - and release the unfortunate citizens from the rule of that horrible dictator -- nm - zork Mar 12, 07:40
Now the specualtion is Tiger's going to return at the Masters, not Bay Hill - Will Hunting Mar 12, 07:15 7
- golf ratings record easy -- nm - Beaker Mar 12, 07:27
- Indeed. In terms of bringing in a large viewing audience he is Masters bait. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 12, 07:26
- "Hey Tiger...don't eff anything on the way to the hole." -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 12, 07:20 4
  - 1st tee, 1st drive, everybody yells "IN THE HOLE!!!!!" -- nm - Strongbad Mar 12, 07:32

      - that wouldn't have been cool for me anyway. he only digs white chicks. -- nm - Diva Mar 12, 07:50

lyc, some thoughts sorta brought on by the religion conversations from yesterday - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:04 34
- it's actually pritty easy - Danedukenuuk Mar 12, 07:58
- The thing I never understood is why the mystery around his existence, why would he do all of that and not make it absolutely clear that he exists? - Guigue Mar 12, 07:19 13
  - becores that makes it unnessesary to have any proof -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 12, 08:03
  - The same way believing in Santa Claus is a test of children's faith. - JaxSean Mar 12, 07:38 4
    - not so much imo, the kids are at least brought to and shown santa claus -- nm - dogbert Mar 12, 07:42 3
      - they don't come up with religion on their own either, for that matter... :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 12, 07:43 2
        
        true, but it's easy to have faith in santa claus when you parents bring you up to him and say "here he is" -- nm - dogbert Mar 12, 07:51 1
        
        Good point. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 12, 07:54
  - It isn't really faith if it's absolutely clear, is it? Of course the real question is, why require faith at all? -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 07:23 4
    - no truth don't need faith it's obvious in itself - Danedukenuuk Mar 12, 08:00
    - All I want is for God to have a show on PBS. "This week in God" - Guigue Mar 12, 07:25 2
      - I hope it wouldn't be like a Festivus celebration. "I've got alot of problems with you people!" -- nm - oblique Mar 12, 07:26 1
        
        He would make a killer funny newspaper headlines review - Guigue Mar 12, 07:29
  - love is never simple I guess. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:21
  - because it's much more gratifying to see you guys figure it out on your own. -- nm - God Mar 12, 07:21
- Another interesting read from a very similar perspective is "God's Debris" by Scott Adams - znufrii Mar 12, 07:16 6
  - Could God microwave a burrito so hot that He himself could not eat it? -- nm - Roger More Mar 12, 07:34 1

  - [deleted] 1
    - also a good read, yes -- nm - znufrii Mar 12, 07:36
  - sorta like god likes to play skeeball. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:17 1
    - yeah, but it's boring when you score 900 every. single. time. -- nm - God Mar 12, 07:19
- I see God as a parental figure as well - oblique Mar 12, 07:09
- And not to be disrespectful, but I think this is a raelly good example of how individuals create their own theologies. - mara Mar 12, 07:08 10
  - I absolutely agree. - Mel Profit Mar 12, 07:32 5
    - unrelated. One of the best things I've heard from the Pastor at the Willow Creek church (HUGE church near us) is that he regularly says in his sermon - oblique Mar 12, 07:53
    - I agree as well. My religious affiliation is Evangelical Lutheran but there is very little dogma to be found in our church other than the basics - oblique Mar 12, 07:48 1
      - I sense that in all the things you've said. It sounds wonderful. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 12, 07:52
    - That is why I love my church. I think we maybe have 70 members - amoxy Mar 12, 07:44
    - [deleted]
  - exactly, I cannot see how faith can be anything but individualized. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:12 2
    - Even people who think they're being traditioanl Christians do this. It's why some Christians believe in ghosts or astrology and others don't. -- nm - mara Mar 12, 07:15 1
      - sure they do, but many deny it. -- nm - tRuMaN Mar 12, 07:22
  - *ding* -- nm - znufrii Mar 12, 07:11

- An update from the Letter Writer: - Diva Mar 12, 06:49 4
  - nothing to hold out for - he obviously did not want her as the mother of his future kids. - Epiphany Mar 12, 07:18 3
    - I think nearly everyone who writes or calls in to these advice places knows that they should do but needs someone else to tell them to do it. Perhaps - zork Mar 12, 07:38 2
      - this is probably a huge part of a lot of it. -- nm - Diva Mar 12, 07:58
      - you are probably right - hello zorkie!! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 12, 07:40
NPR : "We bought a toxic asset; you can watch it die." -- (link) - mara Mar 12, 06:47 3

Is this normal? My dad is 54, still works and everything, but can hardly remember our conversation 2 nights ago? - G.waa Mar 12, 06:29 8
