People across the street are having their roof replaced. All day long it's been tap, tap, tap at the old shingles. - MojaveMeg Aug 9, 14:28 1
- 2 weekends ago it was our neighbor across the street that had her roof done. 8am to 8pm. ugh -- nm - CQ Aug 9, 14:30
I read that EVE Online article on B2 ... yikes. That's crazy. - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:27 4
- I still read that as CCCP, Fish stick kid, and Plaxico Burress -- nm - CQ Aug 9, 14:29
- Not necessarily. Some players benefited, those that bought the PLEX and sold it to the player who lost them - Guigue Aug 9, 14:29 1
  - yeah ... they cost about $300,000,000 ISK (think H$) each, in-game. So that's a good point. - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:30
- oops, error in the IM - 74 months, not 148 months -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:28

Birthday MFK: Anna Kendrick, Rhona Mitra, Audrey Tautou -- nm - Dano Aug 9, 14:21 7

- MFK -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:23
That's different: Hezbollah chief accuses Israel of being behind Hariri assassination -- (link) - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:20

- "Night"? What time zone are you in? -- nm - mara Aug 9, 14:20
- Seriously. My blood is about 20% malted barley. nm - Dignan Aug 9, 14:18
ok this is totally fun...What If? The Avengers Movie was made in the 1950's....someone cut a trailer together.... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 9, 14:14
So, the owner of the company (the really rich dude), just called me into his office - Andie Aug 9, 14:10 16
- "take off my shoes." -- nm - workmanda Aug 9, 14:30
- I'll need a team of 5 people selected by myself, plus access to the black market trade in illegal firearms. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:22
- Is that a trick question? Weekly Jenga parties. nm - Dignan Aug 9, 14:16 1
  - that *would* be fun. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 14:16
- "Don't give me guff about SlackerTalk nor Facebook and we're good." -- nm - Andie SI Aug 9, 14:15
- I want my weight in cookies! -- nm - Beaker Aug 9, 14:14 4
  - are you calling Andie fat? -- nm - zork Aug 9, 14:14 3
    - Well she is pregnant. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 14:23 1
      - [deleted]
    - cookies = happiness -- nm - Beaker Aug 9, 14:16
- more babies and dogs at water's edge -- nm - pickles the cat Aug 9, 14:13
- "Pick a number between 75,000 and 125,000." -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:11 1
  - *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:13
- what's the downside? -- nm - Max Aug 9, 14:11 2
  - honestly? my biggest issue is the job title. - Andie Aug 9, 14:12 1

- Take the $125k, buy another house in Las Vegas, this time for cash. F/U lenders and evil loan lady -- nm - ceregon Aug 9, 14:32
- I take the $125k. -- nm - Krusty Aug 9, 14:19
- I'll play seeing as even $75,000 is more than 2 years salary. -- nm - Dano Aug 9, 14:15
- $125k -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 14:13
- $125K -- nm - amoxy Aug 9, 14:13 1
  - this -- nm - Beaker Aug 9, 14:14
- assuming I walk away with at least 75, I play. -- nm - Max Aug 9, 14:12
- if the worst case is $75k, i'll play. -- nm - TFox Aug 9, 14:12
- [deleted]
- i take the sure thing for that much difference. -- nm - Andie Aug 9, 14:11
- 125k is halfway so that's the best thing. if it were 100k then I would play -- nm - zork Aug 9, 14:11
- they're functionally equivalent. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:11 12
  - although, if the house is offering, that must mean the odds are bad. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 14:12 11
    - This was in my caveat. -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:15
    - I'm using his assumption that the odds are equal at each thousand. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:13 9
      - [deleted] 8
        
        again, functionally equivalent. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:15 7

        I flip a coin. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:18 4
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        within reason. $175k isn't much more life changing for me than $75k. - Reagen Aug 9, 14:27
        
        Not all money is the same. - nubby Aug 9, 14:22 1

        Bayesian analysis to the rescue! -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:16
- I'm a gambler, so I'd take the chance. - nubby Aug 9, 14:11
- I take the $125k. $50k +/- isn't that much, but if I had the chance to double it? Play. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:11 6
  - the more interesting question is, do you take the $125k, or a random amount between $0 or $250k? -- nm - znufrii Aug 9, 14:15 3
    - No question I take the guaranteted $125K and pay off my house. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:18 1
      - Exactly. (I'd take the $125K and finally be able to afford a house locally) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:19
    - that's not interesting at all. In fact, that's mundane. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:18
  - this. the difference has to be great enough. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 14:11 1
    - This is where games like "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" succeeded. You get a set amount, and you could keep going, but the "next level" doubled. - JaxSean Aug 9, 14:17
- I'll take the sure thing. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 14:10
my boss asks people to take their shoes off in her house. every time we go over there and we do this, it feels like we're visiting the future. -- nm - prayformojo Aug 9, 14:09

- I'll fight Remilk, right here, right now! -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:09 1
  - bring it! -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 14:13
oh and make sure to watch the new Sherlock Holmes on PBS this year. it was terrific. -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 14:04 8
- I can't figure out from LMS' earlier post - what episode(s) have I missed so far? -- nm - Diva Aug 9, 14:13 2
  - They haven't aired over here yet. But in England there are 3 90 mintute episodes of Sherlock Holmes set in the present. -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 14:16 1
    - okay good - her post linked info re: October and November 2010, but there was also something about June 2010 and then I was confuzzled. -- nm - Diva Aug 9, 14:19
- elementary, dear baldy -- nm - pickles the cat Aug 9, 14:06
- maybe he can solve the mystery of your sudden demise. - loosilu Aug 9, 14:06 3
  - like there wouldn't be handfuls of red hair all around the crime scene - zork Aug 9, 14:08 2
    - gross. -- nm - Max Aug 9, 14:09
    - ha! I read the Red-Headed League. I'm too smart for that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 14:09
So Nathan Deal's last ditch campaign appeal for the Republican primary is "Karen Handel doesn't hate gay people enough." -- (link) - Dano Aug 9, 14:03 [youtube] 3
- Comments have been disabled so that the canidate doesn't have to hear how wrong they are. -- nm - Qale Aug 9, 14:27
- Good to know that a bigot like this can preside in a courtroom in our country. -- nm - Mop (223 lbs) Aug 9, 14:10

LYC: Just booked tickets for girls' weekend in NoLA on labor day weekend. woo hoo! -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 14:03 3
- this link may prove helpful.... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 9, 14:08 2
  - you want me to buy you something? maybe a merkin? -- nm - loosilu Aug 9, 14:09 1
    - it's a wig store! -- nm - Remlik Aug 9, 14:14
Ti-Cats to possibly leave Hamilton due to stadium location dispute. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Aug 9, 13:59 3
- Oskie-We-We, Oskie-Bye-Bye -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:00 2
  - nice - zork Aug 9, 14:01 1
    - two minutes ago, in my head. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:02
the responses here are so funny. I had to close my door so I could laugh at it properly. -- (link) - workmanda Aug 9, 13:58
Everytime I read about EVE, I'm glad I don't play it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 13:58 13
- I've played it. I even reactivated my account last week for a five-day free pass. - Beryllium Aug 9, 14:16
- That article might as well have been written in Portuguese. -- nm - David Aug 9, 13:58 11
  - phew, i thought it was me.....nm - xi Aug 9, 14:01 10
    - I don't even know if someone actually lost $1200 or if it's theoretical. -- nm - David Aug 9, 14:03 9
      - I think it's Itchy & Scratchy money. -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:09 2
        
        So, it's fun? -- nm - David Aug 9, 14:19 1
        
        "That's the first thing that's ever gone wrong." -- nm - Reagen Aug 9, 14:30
      - yeah, it's not real money they lost, it's the worth of game time they accumulated that was lost. right? -- nm - CQ Aug 9, 14:09 3
        
        "The huge cache of licenses represented approximately $1,295 US worth of game time that someone purchased." -- nm - mara Aug 9, 14:23 1
        
        Bery has explained it above. No consumer is out anything but a supplier was paid for a product that will never be used. -- nm - David Aug 9, 14:31
        
        That's how I read it, but Mara may be right. It's a column written expressly for those who would understand it. -- nm - David Aug 9, 14:19
      - I thought it was pretty clear that they did. -- nm - mara Aug 9, 14:07 1
        
        Lord know why but I read the comments and they seemed to indicate that was unlikely -- nm - zork Aug 9, 14:09
Homoflexible! -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 13:56 3

  - It's *all* good. -- nm - nubby Aug 9, 14:10

    - the dog only barks once, at the orgasm, and since he was in cali and I was in Vegas, he would have had a very special bond indeed -- nm - ceregon Aug 9, 14:51
