- meanwhile, Tiger's thinking, "Man, he's making me look good!" -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 14, 09:14 1
  - "I wanna party with you, pal." nm -- nm - groiny Jul 14, 09:16

        I want one :( -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 09:11
Dano finally steered me wrong. I made it through half of The Vicious Kind before turning it off, and I doubt I'll pick it up again (spoilers) - prayformojo Jul 14, 08:53 4
- I made it all the way through, you didn't miss much. I don't get why dano started with this one. -- nm - ceregon Jul 14, 09:02 2
  - film festivals to me are about this very thing. stuff that could break either way for people. - TFox Jul 14, 09:15
  - well, it was something different. I'd certainly look forward to other recommendations from the Dano Movie Club -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 09:08
- I didn't notice the jumpy at all, honestly, but the rest I can't really argue with. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 08:54
Speaking of jobs, I was offered an interview for a job in Baltimore. The salary is below what I had originally set as my minimum (to myself) though. -- nm - Dano Jul 14, 08:52 12
- heh, i had a phone interview and after i told him my salary expectations, he couldn't hang up fast enough. - kare Jul 14, 09:17
- Do you have another option forthcoming? - Will Hunting Jul 14, 08:53 10
  - If they pay to get you out there for the interview, go ahead. If only for the practice. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 08:59 2
    - Yeah, the interview won't be a problem. I'm in Pennsylvania helping out my mom right now so it's just a short trip. -- nm - Dano Jul 14, 09:14 1
      - Oh, cool. Keep us posted. (Like I have to say that.) -- nm - mara Jul 14, 09:18
  - Not everyone jumps from state to state for "a" job, though. - kelly Jul 14, 08:56 6
    - Being in Baltimore is a plus in my mind. Haven't been as aggressive with other jobs as this has been my first choice to now. - Dano Jul 14, 09:00 2
      - 12% doesn't sound out of range for a post-interview negotiation. I'd go. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 09:02
      - Ahh, gotcha. -- nm - kelly Jul 14, 09:01
    - My mistake, I thought he was looking to come back. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 09:00
    - why do you hate Dano? -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 08:56 1

The new season of the Andie Show looks promising for entertainment value. -- nm - Dano Jul 14, 08:47 3
- It certainly does. (Now I wishThe Loosi Show could get out of reruns.) -- nm - mara Jul 14, 08:49 2
  - I'm fine giving the main character time to work on the priority issue of employment but let's make sure we don't get to a point where the show has to - HdnAgnda Jul 14, 08:59 1

- That's cool. Wish them and PSU could work out an arrangement. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 14, 08:38 3
  - I would fear for security at that game. - MDH Jul 14, 08:44 2
    - why? They used to play regularly. - Don Homer Jul 14, 08:44 1
      - Half of MD goes to either UMD or PSU for college it'll get wild - MDH Jul 14, 08:52

  - So true. A McDouble has less fat than Tim Hortons breakfast sandwich (on the biscuit). -- nm - Shaun Jul 14, 09:17
- $5.99? I got dinged $8.49 for them on the weekend. -- nm - zork Jul 14, 08:51

Lame. They started blocking "message boards and forums" here. - Don Homer Jul 14, 08:17 15
- You have to wonder if it's automated or if someone's been monitoring the logs and being reactive. - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 08:41 7
  - Don't know. I've always used slacker. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 14, 08:43 1
    - Maybe one of your co-workers is a Slacker! -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 08:47
  - would hsxtt even get caught in an automated filter? i wouldn't think so. -- nm - TFox Jul 14, 08:42 4
    - perhaps there's an automated filter on sites that appear a lot with different parameters (i.e. postid, board_id, username) -- nm - zork Jul 14, 08:48
    - You mean it's just looking at the URL and not the page itself? -- nm - mara Jul 14, 08:48 1
      - i'm not an IT guy, so i don't know, but it seems a lot of filters are keyed off words in the url. - TFox Jul 14, 08:51
    - Which means it's manual. Someone's checking up on Don Homer. -- nm - Mop (219 lbs) Jul 14, 08:47
- There are always ways around it -- nm - oblique Jul 14, 08:30 4
  - such as? -- nm - Don Homer Jul 14, 08:31 3
    - remote access (logmein), VPN/tunnelling, proxy servers, etc. Unless they use a whitelist of approved sites - oblique Jul 14, 08:52
    - (besides my phone, I mean) -- nm - Don Homer Jul 14, 08:31 1
      - if logmein is accessible, then log into your home machine to slack. If not and you - zork Jul 14, 08:44
- that sucks, although the fact that "slackertalk" is not is funny. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 08:18 1

Egypt is ranked ninth? -- nm - zork Jul 14, 08:13 8
- they won the african cup of nations pretty handily, beat the ghana team that made the last 8 in the final....nm - x Jul 14, 08:19 5
  - I understand that Europe is very competitive and so the Czechs didn't get in, but to win the African Cup and not qualify feels odd. - zork Jul 14, 08:22 4
    - yep. they just botched the cup tiebreaker....nm - x Jul 14, 08:27
    - Zidan would have been a pleasure to follow surely -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jul 14, 08:24 2

- eh, it's no ryugyong hotel....nm - x Jul 14, 08:11 1

- I'm not sure why the Gobbler is getting linked to all of a sudden. Lileks put that up years ago. -- nm - mara Jul 14, 08:00 1
  - It was making the rounds on twitter. Every meme has multi-peak lifecycle these days, it seems. - Beryllium Jul 14, 08:01
- there, fixed -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 08:00
- Do we have to watch the whole show? -- nm - Guigue Jul 14, 07:59 3
  - heh, naw, it was an errant link. Removed now. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 08:00 2
