Anyone watching Rubicon? I haven't been able to summon the energy to catch up. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:38 4
- Gave it up. Way too boring/slow. -- nm - MDH Sep 10, 11:47
- I couldn't summon the energy after the first ep to go back -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:39
- I'll agree it is slow pacing, but I'm transfixed. I can't wait each week to unravel a little bit more of the mystery. -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:39
- I gave up after a couple of episodes...Too slow and I couldn't connect with the main characters -- nm - amoxy Sep 10, 11:38
um....no thanks, I'll walk... -- (link) - znufrii Sep 10, 11:36 4
- My long legs will not allow such crap as that. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 11:40
- I think that may be more comfortable as it seems to give you more room to stretch your legs, albeit vertically. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 10, 11:38
- Can't they stack us horizontally and knock us out, Fifth Element style? -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:38 1
  - that would be awesome. -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:43

- *sob* - Spawn Sep 10, 11:36 5
  - and you can race groiny for new ranks (I assume everyone is going to start from zero in Reach) -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:40 4
    - I do not need ranks to know the superior player. nm -- nm - groiny Sep 10, 11:41 2
      - Wow. I had not looked for a while. - Spawn Sep 10, 11:43 1
        
        I imagine everyone's percentages ought to look a little better with less of a learning curve in Reach -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:46
    - Except people that already have it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 10, 11:40
Anyone still watching the new season of "The Colony" - Mel Profit Sep 10, 11:34 3
- the first season was awesome. completely forgot about the second season till it was like 6 or 7 episodes in. So I didnt bother. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 11:42
- I had been meaning to watch it but I kept missing it and based on this post I'm kind of glad I did. - Krusty Sep 10, 11:36 1
  - By this time last season they were working on creature comforts. This season they can't even lock down security. - Mel Profit Sep 10, 11:50

- my blackberry has a Skype app. - decline Sep 10, 11:38 1

  - Oh, oh! That reminds me. Today is Angry Birds day! -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 10, 11:37
Heh. Kelly just discovered Davidson. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 10, 11:24 5
- I heard him on the radio news this morning, but the playback wasn't working correctly so I heard only the first part of his speech. - kelly Sep 10, 11:26 4
  - I still say you make Will take your last name -- nm - amoxy Sep 10, 11:34 3
    - Heh. Yeah, I doubt that'll happen. I also doubt I'll be keeping mine, as I got quite the dirty look when it was suggested. - kelly Sep 10, 11:40 1
      - blah blah blah. dump it. what'd your last name ever do for you? buy you a sandwich? hug you? nope. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 11:41
    - I say they both change their name to Hunting. -- nm - mara Sep 10, 11:36
I know we just did a sandwich poll, but I can't decide between the club and the roast beef. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:19 18
- I cooked a roast beef last night. I think I'm really developing my jus skills. Fear my kung jus. -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:24 4
  - You see me shaking in my apron, don't you? -- nm - Cat Cora Sep 10, 11:28 3
    - its on like donkey kong -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:29 2
      - you'll be Bert Cooper when i finish with you -- nm - Cat Cora Sep 10, 11:30 1
        
        the boxer or the Mad Men character? -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:35
- You know, every time I've tried roast beef, I've been underwhelmed. - con_carne Sep 10, 11:23 2
  - pair it with provolone cheese (I know its basically bland but the combo is greater than its parts) pickled peppers are good also - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:30
  - Make sure it's rare/bloody. If it's been sitting in the deli for days or is the stub end pass on it. - Krusty Sep 10, 11:26
- grilled roast beef with provolone -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:22 8
  - That sounds good, I've never tried it with provolone. No horseradish, that stuff is nasty. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:27 4
    - It took me a looong time to develop a taste for horseradish. You know what finally turned me? Mixing it in with hamburger before grilling. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:29 3
      - [deleted]
      - Your ideas intrigue me, and i would like to subscribe to your newsletter. - znufrii Sep 10, 11:31
      - I can't say I'll try it but I'm intrigued. Maybe one day when I'm feeling experimental I'll give it a shot. - Krusty Sep 10, 11:31
  - Yup, that's the grilled option. Also with some grilled onion. They call it the 'Brooklyn Bomber'. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:25 1
    - I would pass on the onion, but that's just my taste... -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:27
  - and horseradish -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:23
- Roast beef, maybe with some cheddar cheese. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:21
How is it that 1/5 of all Americans get along without the internet? -- (link) - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 10, 11:15 10
- remember these stats the next time someone says that *everything* will go digital *tomorrow*....nm - xi Sep 10, 11:28 5
  - on a related note, i linked this before, but you probably missed it: -- (link) - TFox Sep 10, 11:34 1
    - hah. i love mcsweeneys. -- nm - xi Sep 10, 11:35
  - I was at an interesting conference yesterday, primarily about web surveys... - Don Homer Sep 10, 11:31 2
    - huh. i'm not totally surprised, though. one thing i've found running a crew of 10-12 college age kids is that.... - xi Sep 10, 11:35 1
      - eh, it looks like spam, delete -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:38
- My thought is that you'd run into an internet connected device just walking down the street, but I don't think we're there yet. - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 10, 11:19 1
  - Technically none of us "get along without the Internet" if you consider those things since nearly every business we interact with is tied to it - oblique Sep 10, 11:22
- Eldery victims of future shock who's over the edge moment came with VCR remotes that didn't work with their TV or Cable remote -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:17

- relatedly: watched the Season 5 episode of (spoilerish) - JaxSean Sep 10, 11:14 3
  - one of my favorites. re: your query.... nm but: -- (link) - b. Sep 10, 11:19 [Backboard] 1

Dear Canada: Which channels (that I will probably get in a hotel) will show me college football? -- nm - ty97 Sep 10, 11:11 9
- dude, the argonauts are on!...nm - xi Sep 10, 11:37
- NBC, ABC, CBS, -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 11:15 7
  - In...Canada? Really? (I haven't turned on my TV yet) - ty97 Sep 10, 11:17 6
    - Most border towns in the U.S. with TV stations get their largest viewerships from Canada and run adverts for audiences north of the border. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 10, 11:21
    - tvguide ... -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:20
    - if you're lucky, otherwise it would be TSN, TSN2, Sportsnet or Headline Sports - all these may carry it -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 11:19 1
      - we get PTI on TSN for example -- nm - Beaker Sep 10, 11:19
    - Yes (depending on your cablebox) There's also Rogers Sportsnet. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 11:19 1
      - (and Buffalo is just a short distance away, so we pick up their channels and they pick up ours) -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 11:21

- Eternal Flame -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:19
- Padres is one -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 11:17 1
  - scratch that, misread the question -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 11:18
- Is this where we name all the MLB teams? :) -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 11:17 1
  - [deleted]
Well this would be a change -- (link) - znufrii Sep 10, 11:10
two comments on my shirt today: "Protestant orange today, eh?" "Halloween isn't for another month." -- nm - Max Sep 10, 11:05 6
- One step closer to that prison jumpsuit. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:14

STIS: How does an online e-mail account, like hotmail, get a virus? My sisters hotmail account is sending out infected e-mails. -- nm - lileve Sep 10, 11:04 9
- well, it could be that the password was hacked. She should change the password, for sure. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:06
- the virus is on her pc (or another pc) and uses it's own mailer and has harvested email addresses -- nm - decline Sep 10, 11:06
- I'd guess that is not the actual account but instead just her address being spoofed to emails being sent from other places -- nm - JD Sep 10, 11:06 5
  - This is happening to my mom with a classmate of hers' email address, as well. Any advice on what can be done? - con_carne Sep 10, 11:21 2
    - closing the account won't actually make any difference. - decline Sep 10, 11:22 1
      - 'Preciate it anyway. I mean, I've taught her to "report spam" every time. That's about it... -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 11:24
  - this -- nm - oblique Sep 10, 11:11
  - this is also possible, as is decline's observation -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:06
- My sandcastles of hate ex-stepmom's account was recently infected. I love it. I hope it causes her grief and stress. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 11:05
I'm hoping a girl wins this years WCG Ultimate Gamer show (on SyFy) - crash davis Sep 10, 11:01 9
- Most of the girls suck too. Faye seems cool but I agree that most of the dudes are tools. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:08 6
  - well, if you are going to suck, at least be pleasing to look at - (spoils) - crash davis Sep 10, 11:14 5
    - Agreed. The cast last season was more enjoyable to watch. This season I want them all to lose somehow. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:16 4
      - absolutely - the dude who won last year (Mark) seemed like a genuinely nice person. I'd love to do something like this, I suck at games, but - crash davis Sep 10, 11:23 3
        
        Word. I'd want to do it just for the real world challanges. I'm not a good enough all-around gamer to compete though. - Krusty Sep 10, 11:29 2
        
        I can instantly see a strategy in each real world challenge. I'm clueless about the games though. NHL 10? I'd be lost -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:31 1
        
        I haven't played an NHL game since like NHL '95. I don't like hockey but the games were fun. (spoils) - Krusty Sep 10, 11:34
- what hyde read; "ultimate garter"....nm - xi Sep 10, 11:02 1
  - I hope a girl wins that one too -- nm - crash davis Sep 10, 11:05
What college football game are you most anticipating this weekend? NFL? - prayformojo Sep 10, 11:00 23
- PSU/Alabama and don't know. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 11:28
- Vandy/LSU (Northwestern was a trap game) and Cincy/NE -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 11:23
- ND/Mich -- nm - JaxSean Sep 10, 11:09
- PSU vs. Alabama. Go PSU!!! -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:09 2
  - I would love to see the Lions win this, but I don't think they have a chance. -- nm - prayformojo Sep 10, 11:11 1
    - I would too since I root for them. :-) I'm hoping for some lucky bounces and an upset. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:13

  - It probably helps if you went to a big school. -- nm - Don Homer Sep 10, 11:28
  - It made a lot more sense to me once I moved to TN and enrolled at Vandy. -- nm - TFox Sep 10, 11:04
  - As a non-American, I've never quite got why college football is so big. Is it because people can identify better with a local college team than a non- - Roger More Sep 10, 11:04 7
    - NFL is so bloated with marketing, ads, sponsors up the frickin' wazoo. And, many people can't get the games now. -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 11:29
    - They're not (all) rich and spoiled yet, so they play harder. - Dr.Vermin Sep 10, 11:28
    - For some it's rooting for their alma mater. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:17 2
      - That bit I get. But the caring about it sems to go beyond that. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 11:20 1
        
        True. Personally, I don't find it as enjoyable as the NFL. I'd guess people just like football and college offers like 100 games every week. -- nm - Krusty Sep 10, 11:24
    - as an American, I've never really gotten it either. -- nm - znufrii Sep 10, 11:05 1
