tru...that Halo game/statue set you want only comes in the combo pack. The statues do not come seperately... - Remlik Apr 27, 09:02 6
- k. i was just looking for one of them, but perhaps it will show up later in the year. - tRuMaN Apr 27, 09:02 5
  - Might get it after-market on eBay. -- nm - Mop (221 lbs) Apr 27, 09:16
  - ok. They (MCFarlane) at some point, may offer the statues seperately. -- nm - Remlik Apr 27, 09:03 3
    - thanks for the effort. - tRuMaN Apr 27, 09:04 2

    - well, I'm not buying that they're buds now. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 09:01 6
      - not buds, but certainly work-friends. I think she knows that this job is her moment to make history. -- nm - Remlik Apr 27, 09:02 3
        
        she knows who she has to get along with, yes. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 09:04
        
        i sorta agree. - tRuMaN Apr 27, 09:04 1

  - I mean if you wanna see the JB be my guest, I just tried to mentione their fanbase - MDH Apr 27, 08:59 1
    - I'm just teasing. And that's actually a really great song, IMO. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:59
  - damn you for not having kids! -- nm - zork Apr 27, 08:56 1
    - Help us, Obi-Redmond. You're our only hope. -- nm - Fuzzy Apr 27, 08:58
*looks at tag/term cloud in ST sidebar with a huge Loosi in the middle* -- nm - zork Apr 27, 08:53 8
- Yeah, it wouldn't work if it looked at all words, including usernames. Actually, NM would be the biggest. -- nm - mara Apr 27, 08:54 1
  - the google one would let me filter out words (it has a default "stop word" list that I could add nm to) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 08:56
- If I tried it, it would only include message subjects (and/or bodies), not nicknames. And I don't think I could put it in the sidebar. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 08:54 1
  - Will it include hashtags? #mop -- nm - ty97 Apr 27, 08:55
- are you calling me fat? -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:54 2
  - heh. I admit that I knew this would happen. -- nm - zork Apr 27, 08:55

pmb: TV is necessary, Stereo is not, but I have a few ideas - MDH Apr 27, 08:50 56
- Also, tv conflicts arise quite often if you solely rely on the common room tv - MDH Apr 27, 09:04 2
  - oh I don't deny she needs one, just whether a laptop would suffice or not. -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 09:09 1
    - But groups watching tv don't want to see something on a small screen -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 09:15
- Agree, it's normal to have a TV in the dorm room, everyone did. We basically all had steros too, but that was the 90s. Not so needed now. -- nm - ty97 Apr 27, 08:57 7
  - In my day we had big stereo receivers, tape decks and turntables with big ass speakers so you could play it loud enough to (as actually happened to us - pmb Apr 27, 09:02 5
    - I would often hear ours from across campus. Oddly, it was my dad's ancient Panasonic stereo with some decent Infinity speakers. The "audio guys" in - oblique Apr 27, 09:05 2
      - I had infinity speakers too. I loved those things. I'd still have them but they're just too big for the way things are now. -- nm - pmb Apr 27, 09:09
      - I still have those speakers. They're my left and right in my living room right now -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 09:05
    - Awesome. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 09:04
    - *nice* -- nm - ty97 Apr 27, 09:03
  - not when I went -- nm - zork Apr 27, 08:58
- What size tv do you think? 22"? 24? as big as 26"? - pmb Apr 27, 08:54 14
  - 22 or 24 would be great. Trust me it'll get use when everyone gets together to watch things. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 09:00
  - 24" with built in dvd player (remember those rooms in general are still small) -- nm - decline Apr 27, 08:57
  - Flat panel 24 w/ the dvd is fine. - Will Hunting Apr 27, 08:55 4
    - if she's built like a mover. she'll probably have more than enough crap to move already. -- nm - zork Apr 27, 08:57 1
      - My 26" tv weights like 13lbs. If that's too heavy, I suggest she not take Organic Chem as the books alone would be too much. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 08:58
    - I envy today's kids who don't have to lug a 27" CRT tv to and from college... -- nm - Ender Apr 27, 08:57 1
      - Exactly.....my 52" is lighter than the 27" I replaced. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 08:57
  - 19 IMO -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 08:55 6
    - especially if you don't know how big her room is. Limited space was the rule when I went -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 08:55 5
      - With today's flat panels I don't think space would be as big a concern. -- nm - Ender Apr 27, 08:57 4
        
        But don't plan to mount it - most dorms will disallow that, I'd bet. - ty97 Apr 27, 08:58 3
        
        Even if you could figure a way to get through the cinder block walls at my college. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 08:59 2
        
        It wouldn't do PMB's daughter much good to mount it at your college anyway. I'd suggest she keep it at her own college. -- nm - Ender Apr 27, 09:07 1
        
        I'll even put a nameplate on it. Donated by Will and Monocle. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 27, 09:09
- how is a TV necessary? -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:50 29
  - For...you know...watching TV? -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 08:51 28
    - can't she just hook it up to her laptop? Plus common rooms will have TVs too -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 08:54 8
      - The common room TVs were *always* on soap operas -- nm - ty97 Apr 27, 09:02 4
        
        "You called the communal tv for the Country Music Awards? Really?" - Will Hunting Apr 27, 09:10

        or X-Files ... -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 09:02 1
        
        I made my dorm* watch 'It' one night. Not sure what they thought of me after that. - LMS Apr 27, 09:07
      - This isn't necessarily true. UMD for one does not provide common room tvs. -- nm - MDH Apr 27, 09:01
      - Personally, I wouldn't care to watch TV/DVD on a laptop or in a common room all the time -- nm - oblique Apr 27, 08:56 1
        
        Same. You're also locked into watching whatever the first person in the common room picks. -- nm - pmb Apr 27, 09:03
    - it's not necessary for school, like a laptop. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:52 18
      - wait, do you mean that laptops aren't necessary? or are necessary? - Beryllium Apr 27, 08:53 2
        
        I think people get confused between wants and needs, that's all. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:54 1
        
        People also get confused about sanity and insanity, too. In a world of chaos, wrinkle-free pants keep me sane. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 27, 08:55
      - Neither is a stereo, but that's the kind of stuff we're discussing in this conversation. -- nm - Ender Apr 27, 08:53
      - For a student in college now, it's necessary. - MDH Apr 27, 08:53 13
        
        not so much becuase you can stream so much through your computer and it's more fun watching in a common room with friends anyway -- nm - zork Apr 27, 08:54 6
        
        Unless you don't have any friends and you're just the loser sitting in the common room watching TV by yourself... *NM* - Ender Apr 27, 08:56 1
        
        ...until 3am. - znufrii Apr 27, 09:05
        
        another consideration is that it's another thing for someone to steal. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:56 2
        
        word -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 09:01
        
        yep -- nm - zork Apr 27, 09:00
        
        *ding* -- nm - Beaker Apr 27, 08:55
        
        that's kinda sad. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:53 5
        
        So you don't own or watch a tv? -- nm - decline Apr 27, 08:56
        
        That's absurd. - pmb Apr 27, 08:56 1
        
        I didn't have one and didn't miss it, personal taste I guess. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:57
        
        I guess it's also sad that you have a tv then. -- nm - Don Homer Apr 27, 08:54 1
        
        I actually kind of think it is. but at least it's an old and shitty one. -- nm - loosilu Apr 27, 08:55
Knoxx. -- nm - Shaun Apr 27, 08:47 1
