- I love your stories. - kelly Dec 10, 13:05 1
  - Oh wow, my friend told me an *awesome* strip club story last night too. Maybe next board. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 13:06
- And you never asked what she said? - pmb Dec 10, 13:00 1
  - He might have said, but fuck all if I can remember. It wouldn't have impacted the funniness of the situation any. -- nm - TFox Dec 10, 13:02
fwiw, if I saw someone sitting next to me with their phone out at the theatre they would be earning themselves a sharp elbow in the ribs. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 12:58 12

      - primarily stage, but it woul dbug me at the movies as well to no end. -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 13:03 2
        
        what if they turned the brightness waaaaay down, and they were reading and posting to Slackertalk? :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 13:06 1

- 7% is an odd number. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 12:56 3

  - Dave Navarro mentioned in his blog recently how there's a disconnect with the audience now because everyone watches the show through their phones. nm - Dignan Dec 10, 12:45 2
    - I want to punch the people that "film" the concert with their cameras in the back of their head. - Reagen Dec 10, 12:49 1
      - Me too. I had somebody at a concert that seemed to be recording the concert in something like 45 second clips. - pmb Dec 10, 12:51
- did she look expensive? - Epiphany Dec 10, 12:41 5
  - Not really. And she was as nice as can be, but just...texting. -- nm - Diva Dec 10, 13:01 1
    - Odd. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 10, 13:05
  - Running into obvious paid escorts out with men is always hilarious. - TFox Dec 10, 12:45 1

- .05? -- nm - Loyola Dec 10, 12:51
- 1/2 gallon. -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 12:51
- ethanol question - more so to assure myself that ST did not let me down - there is an ugly rumor in OK that ethanol in the gas reduces gas mileage? - Epiphany Dec 10, 12:44 16
  - E-10 doesn't cause significant drop. E-85 does -- nm - VMan Dec 10, 12:47
  - ethanol contains less energy than gasoline, yes. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 12:46 14
    - okay - so I admit to being dumb about this = why again are we making our gas less fuel efficent? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 10, 12:48 13
      - [deleted] 8
        
        wow - I have, obvie, heard of ethanol but assumed ( incorrectly it appears) it was better/cheaper in all ways -- nm - Epiphany Dec 10, 12:53 6
        
        it *is* a renewable energy source unlike petroleum but other plants would be better sources -- nm - zork Dec 10, 13:00
        
        This site has some good info and doesn't appear very biased despite being a producer. -- (link) - VMan Dec 10, 12:56
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Of course, just about anything that Bush championed should be regarded with caution. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 12:56 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        true, on both counts. - znufrii Dec 10, 13:02
        
        And that corn farmers need subsidized. -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 12:51
      - burns cleaner. - Reagen Dec 10, 12:50 2
        
        but is also horribly polluting to produce, ironically./ -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 12:53 1
        
        depends how you do it and what you're comparing it to. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 12:54
      - renewable? -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 12:49
- I don't even know how many ears of corn are in a bushel, so I'll guess something like 10 gallons. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 10, 12:42

      - [deleted] 3
        
        No, I don't really want a cite. I'm just amused at how close you are to forming the GayCLU to solve these problems. :) -- nm - Beryllium Dec 10, 12:52 2

        Oh, so only for under some age limit? Honestly, you're so bad at disseminating information. - Dr.Vermin Dec 10, 12:49 1
        
        [deleted]
    - interesting IM - I am adding this to a list of things I did not know but now know, ya know? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 10, 12:42 1

  - [deleted]
- *sigh* -- nm - znufrii Dec 10, 12:37

Huh, the credit union I applied for a car loan at offers a quarter percent rate discount if you buy a "low emission" car. (>29mpg) -- nm - Ender Dec 10, 12:33 2
