Oh hey, the hard drive was plugged into the tv! - David Aug 2, 09:41
After watching I Love You Philip Morris I've decided Leslie Mann and Naomi Watts could play sisters. -- nm - LMS Aug 2, 09:41
Do any of you have the handheld steam thing where you can iron clothes while they're on a clothes hanger? I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one. -- nm - Loyola Aug 2, 09:34 2
- I do. They're pretty good, but take a bit of time to heat up. An iron works better and faster, but getting out the ironing board and such can be a - pmb Aug 2, 09:36 1
  - I don't mind the whole setting up the ironing board thing, it's the whole keep flipping the shirt over business of it that annoys me. -- nm - Loyola Aug 2, 09:38
The dismantling continues. Blackhawks let Anti Niemi go. - pmb Aug 2, 09:32

supposedly, a reporter at our rival paper died from an OD of cold pills yesterday. - Reagen Aug 2, 09:16 9
- hmm, pseudoephedrine is speed. -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 09:19 8
  - Or it could just be acetaminophen, that can wreck your liver up real good. -- nm - Ender Aug 2, 09:27
  - sorta. kinda. And you'd have to take a shit load. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:21
  - I just googled a bit and there isn't much about pseudephrine deaths (if that's what the drug was). I am thinking there's more to the story. - loosilu Aug 2, 09:21 5
    - It's more the dextromethorphan, I think. -- (link) - mara Aug 2, 09:22 3
      - that's the one that kids take to get high, right? -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 09:22 2
        
        Yeah, but I'm sure it works the same with adults as teens. -- nm - mara Aug 2, 09:23
        
        maybe I should have, uh, clicked the link. :) -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 09:23
    - I have to think there was some other underlying condition. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:21
The Milwaukee Brewers underscored their commitment to Corey Hart by agreeing to a three-year contract extension with the power-hitting outfielder. - David Aug 2, 09:12 3
- Thus keeping the boy in the (batter's) box. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Aug 2, 09:47
- That should be enough for lots of sunglasses to wear at night. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:24
- He never surrenders. -- nm - Dano Aug 2, 09:13
Is Stargate Universe worth watching? Will I be lost if I've only watched the movie? I ask because S1 is now available on Netflix streaming -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 09:07 3
- I was pleasantly surprised by the first season although it was losing some momentum there at the end. -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:09
- All of the seasons are. I caught sporadic episodes and really liked it. - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:08 1
  - (and I had never watched anything except the Kurt Russell movie) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:10
I somehow missed the Ankiel/Farnsworth trade over the weekend. - musubi Aug 2, 09:04 9
- Our OF defense is fine in that Heyward and Ankiel both have near CF range. - David Aug 2, 09:07 8
  - Every scouting report says that Ankiel needs to stay at a corner OF. In half a season though, that's probably not very damaging. - musubi Aug 2, 09:11 7
    - If you mean for LF/CF, that's true but again, the CF does less work with Heyward and his 4.4 speed in RF. - David Aug 2, 09:16 6
      - Don't be silly, even when he was sucking for ATL, Yunel was *still* better than Frenchy. WAAAY better. - musubi Aug 2, 09:22 5
        
        It's like picking your favorite disease. Average OBP with no slugging or terrible OBP with some slugging. - David Aug 2, 09:24 4
        
        Frenchy's slugging .370, that's not even "some" slugging. That's Luis Castillo level "power". - musubi Aug 2, 09:38 3
        
        I don't think we're disagreeing inasmuch as comparing war wounds but... - David Aug 2, 09:41 2
        
        Hee. "Girls, stop arguing! You're both ugly!" -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:43
        
        (and some pitchers, for that matter) -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:42
Rough estimate: 350-600 ounces per week - ty97 Aug 2, 09:04 11
- thats a lot of gold -- nm - Danedukenuuk Aug 2, 09:33
- 168. Two cans of diet a day, that's my limit. - Dr.Vermin Aug 2, 09:12
- I'm around 225. -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:10
- I'd say I'm somewhere in the 4-500 range. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:10 6
  - That's a pretty large range, 4 oz - 500 oz. :) -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:11 5
    - it's unwise to snark on someone as caffeinated as me. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:13 4
      - Sweep the leg! -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:16
      - I can run further and you'll have to pee. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:16 2
        
        He'll take 2 strides and poof, there goes your advantage. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 09:20 1
        
        Ents move slowly. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:22
- crikey. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:09
On a related note to the backboard comment, one of our 1.5 TB drives has come up missing. - David Aug 2, 09:02
I'm never going shopping on Amazon again for at least 6 months. I went on, found the book I liked for 12 euro, ended up spending 175 on a few other - Loyola Aug 2, 09:00 1
- heh. Prime makes it bad for me. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:12
And now, a Mousehunt post: How many of you have caught Ballack The Banished? - celedhring Aug 2, 08:56 1
- not there yet. -- nm - TFox Aug 2, 09:06
From red light cameras to citizen cameras? India police using Facebook to issue tickets to drivers -- (link) - oblique Aug 2, 08:54
I mostly switched to water and flavored seltzer. that's not soda, right? -- nm - loosilu Aug 2, 08:52 4
- flavored seltzer is considered a soft drink -- nm - decline Aug 2, 09:20
- Selzter is soda, sure. -- nm - mara Aug 2, 09:17
- I stay away from anything fizzy unless there's nothing else to buy. -- nm - Loyola Aug 2, 09:03
- It's flavored soda water, but...I don't know what they used to measure that average on B2. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:54
Giant Chinese buses you can drive under. -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Aug 2, 08:46 2
- but the people are even bigger! -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 2, 08:58
- Heh cool. -- nm - Loyola Aug 2, 08:52
In Charlie St Cloud there was an actor I thought could play James Franco's brother. Turns out that he is James Franco's brother. -- nm - Dano Aug 2, 08:45 1
- Oh - it was Cole on the new Scrubs -- nm - Dano Aug 2, 08:48
Ok DH...tell me what you know about this Westbrook guy. And tell me why I shouldn't be pissed that we gave up a - Jim Aug 2, 08:44 10
- He sucks. But you guys have Dave Duncan so I expect to go bananas from here on out. (nm) - musubi Aug 2, 08:57 2
  - Heh...yeah I'll take a Jeff Weaver type finish to the season from him. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:58 1
    - Honestly, when the Mets were rumored to be looking at him, I started looking into him, and was praying they didn't trade for him. - musubi Aug 2, 09:07
- I'm not surprised at all about Ludwick. When he was injured and Jay killed it, I figured that was a move they'd consider. -- nm - Callisto Aug 2, 08:46 5
  - The thing that pisses me off about Ludwick is that no matter what he did, TLR would not make him an every day guy. - Jim Aug 2, 08:47 4
    - I like Ludwick for sure, but the move at least makes some sense to me. - Callisto Aug 2, 08:51 3
      - Yeah...it makes sense. I just like Ludwick. He's my kind of player. - Jim Aug 2, 08:53 2
        
        yes to both Freese and Rasmus. Totally agreed. - Callisto Aug 2, 08:55 1
        
        I don't think they mind throwing Suppan or Lohse out there every 5th day. - Jim Aug 2, 08:58
- should get you 6 innings per start, sinkerballer, gives you a nice #4 guy. - groiny Aug 2, 08:45
Jailbreaking an iPhone is a Snap Thanks to New Website - Loyola Aug 2, 08:43 2
- Nice. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Aug 2, 08:47
- Just called Lil Pip to review this - thanks -- nm - Epiphany Aug 2, 08:47
I drink exactly 0 ounces of soda per week now. WOO HOO!!!! - Jim Aug 2, 08:42 31
- I try to limit myself to one can/day. So that's less than 120 fl. oz/week. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Aug 2, 09:40
- I'm with you at zero - shay Aug 2, 09:34
- I bathe in cola. -- nm - David Aug 2, 09:03
- Nice. What do you drink instead? - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:43 23
  - I go between Propel water, Gatorade, decaf tea and water. I'm finding my biggest issue right now is taste. - Jim Aug 2, 08:48 20
    - Propel gave me headaches, not sure why exactly, but it did - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:53 15
      - Crystal Light does that to me as well. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:53 14
        
        I wonder if they have anything online that says *how much* aspartame is in drinks. - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:56 12
        
        So from a health standpoint, what's the difference then between drinking Crystal Light with it's sweeteners and Diet sodas? Seems like the same deal -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 08:57 11
        
        Diet colas have phosphoric acid in them. - decline Aug 2, 09:01 7
        
        what's icky about it? -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:15 6
        
        it's not good for you. - decline Aug 2, 09:21 5
        
        *eyeroll* lemon juice can remove rust from metals. - Reagen Aug 2, 09:39 4
        
        *shrug*. I don't drink anything with citric acid in it either - decline Aug 2, 09:43 3
        
        Link? Snopes seems to be saying otherwise. -- (link) - mara Aug 2, 09:47
        
        Your body *makes* citric acid. -- nm - Reagen Aug 2, 09:46 1
        
        yes it does. so why add extra that your body does not need? -- nm - decline Aug 2, 09:47
        
        no caffeine I guess. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:58 2
        
        Plenty of non-caffinated diet sodas but people still rail against them -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 08:58 1
        
        A lot of the stuff I find online says they're both about the same, looks like. - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:08
        
        crystal meth -- nm - budice Aug 2, 08:54
    - Another thing that sucks is that aside from tea and water...everything else is expensive as shit. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:50 3
      - Flavored water is cheap. - Black Rabbit Aug 2, 08:55
      - Yeah, I was about to say this about the fruit juice. I went with the single-serving mix packets for a while, but it got old. - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:52 1
        
        I just figure good ol Lemonade does the trick -- nm - budice Aug 2, 08:54
  - scotch. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:44
  - Once you find a fruit juice you like, you'll never go back. -- nm - Loyola Aug 2, 08:44
- Yay! Congrats! Soda sucks! - Guigue Aug 2, 08:43 3
  - I miss it all the time. In fact, I want a Pibb right effing now...I'm just not gonna go get one. -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 08:43 2
    - have you tried drinking soda water with lemon or lime? the bubbles are very satisfying for the pop cravings. -- nm - Andie Aug 2, 08:54 1
      - Oh hell no. If I'm gonna have that...it'll piss me off even more that it's not a Pibb. :) -- nm - Jim Aug 2, 09:05
By 11:00 this morning, I had gone to a doctor's appointment, had lab work done, and had a crown put in at the dentist. (medical overshare stuff) - kelly Aug 2, 08:40 3
- that is very good Kelly!! - yes Dental coverage is the devil -- nm - Epiphany Aug 2, 08:49
- That's good news! (And, yeah, dental coverage is a mega-joke.) -- nm - Don Homer Aug 2, 08:43 1
  - The dental plan I will have with my new job coverss $1000 for the year - and that includes the 2 cleanings. - kelly Aug 2, 08:51
So of those that answered (or said zero), we average out to about 80 oz per week. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:34 4
- I easily drink between 200-250 a week. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 2, 08:45 3
  - question for you (unrelated) - JaxSean Aug 2, 08:50 2
    - He'd be addressed as Colonel or sir. -- nm - Stephen (Status Seeker) Aug 2, 09:06 1
      - OK thanks. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 2, 09:09
I'm reminded now why I got tired of ConquerClub. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:34 8
- the waiting is the hardest part. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:39 7
  - You take it on faith, you take it to the heart. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Aug 2, 09:04
  - Yep. - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:40 5
    - I have 20 games in waiting. - groiny Aug 2, 08:41 4
      - At this rate, I have room for 1 game and I'm not going to go premium again (at this point) -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:42 3
        
        wanna do a quick 1 on 1? nm -- nm - groiny Aug 2, 08:44 2
        
        Sure....just give me the # -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 2, 08:50 1

- wowzers! -- nm - Don Homer Aug 2, 08:39 1
  - mmmm, Diet Coke. -- nm - kelly Aug 2, 08:40
LIR: After spending the past week restoring our church server and helping a friend restore their computer, the $100/year (or less) - oblique Aug 2, 08:31 9
- I'd love a cloud backup service. However my connection limits would also be a problem. - celedhring Aug 2, 08:54 4
  - Apart from the initial load, I would think the average transfer for the updated bits would be very low -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 08:56 3
    - Yeah, problem being that I have around 500 Gb in data. - celedhring Aug 2, 09:03 2
      - It costs a little more but Crashplan will let you seed up to 1TB of data to them on temporary drive they ship to you and you ship back -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 09:06 1
        
        I will look into it, then. to be honest I'm a bit tired of lurching those backup drives around. - celedhring Aug 2, 09:11
- I'd love to have that, but my transfer limit could potentially make it a lot more expensive -- nm - Guigue Aug 2, 08:34
- Also, LIR: Ender. That's horrible. And people ask me why I feel the need for off-site backups. *that* is exactly why -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 08:32 2
  - Yeah, stealing the backup drive too just seems mean. It just occurred to me that my Turbo Tax files were on that computer. That could be trouble ID Theft-wise... crap... -- nm - Ender Aug 2, 08:37 1
    - Also makes my friend that TrueCrypts his drive not seem like such a wacko now -- nm - oblique Aug 2, 08:43
