I hate power bars where the plugins run paralell with the bar rather than perpendicular. They are whores and are asking for it -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 13:54 3
- They taste like crap. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 13:54 2
  - "It tastes like... sparking!" -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:57
  - yeah all plastic-y, and when your wife asks you to plug in a blow drier with a monstrous GFCI plug, you lose two spots on the bar -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 13:56

WWE under State audit for how they classify wrestlers as 'independent contracters'. funny how this is happening when Linda McMahon has a real shot at - Remlik Sep 14, 13:40 5

I have as much liberal guilt as the next extreme liberal, but "Sexualize me so that I can be famous. Hey, Jets, stop sexualizing me!" is a non-starter - David Sep 14, 13:39 21
- True. Everyone knows she has a *marvelous* ass now. - Reagen Sep 14, 13:50 4
  - agreed. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:56
  - She's too J-Lo for me. - David Sep 14, 13:55 1
    - Vida Guerra goes too far for me. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:58
  - *nods* -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:54
- [deleted]

- did you just call her a whore? -- nm - dawson si Sep 14, 13:40 10
  - a media one. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 13:43 7
    - This is right. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:45 6
      - that being said the NFL players and coaches sure as hell should have known better. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 13:47 5
        
        I'm certain they were caught off guard by her altered behavior. She groped a San Diego Charger on the sideline last year and dressed as a bride... - David Sep 14, 13:50 2
        
        From what I read, that bride stunt was a different reporter with the same first name. - musubi Sep 14, 13:52 1
        
        I just googled the picture and you're right. That's not her. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:54
        
        Yup. Just like *everybody* has said. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:48 1

  - It speaks to something. -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 13:41
  - Yes. Duh. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:40
To be clear: If I was in a locker room being interviewed by a woman in a revealing outfit, I'd be very uncomfortable, not rude. -- nm - Mop (222 lbs) Sep 14, 13:37 4
- "What? No, I wasn't injured today... why... oh, that? That's my little wartie..... I've been told its within the parameters for 'normal', yes." -- nm - Mop si Sep 14, 13:41
- Poor little Mop. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 14, 13:39

- This is why you're not a manly football player -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:38
random question: In "The Unforgiven", when Gene Hackman misreads "The Duke" as "The Duck", is it intentional or accidental? - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:36 1
- Intentional I thought since he hated The Duke -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 13:37
Seriously, I need someone to check my math. I bet Reagen could do it. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:35 25
- LAT! should be LAT1 ... - zork Sep 14, 13:42 15
  - yeah, I just wrote it as LAT for simplicity here. It's a cell number in excel. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:44 14
    - Without knowing what the conversion factors are, there is no way to tell you the math is correct, imo. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:45 8
      - hmmmm, what conversion factors are you referring to? -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:48 7
        
        the 6080 and 60, I'm assuming are unit conversions. (nm) - musubi Sep 14, 13:54 6
        
        the 6080 is to convert to feet. I don't know about the 60. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:57 5
        
        oh wait, I'm averaging to find the center point. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:58 4
        
        Yes, averging would find the mid-latitude, but why then cosine that? - musubi Sep 14, 14:01 3
        
        I don't know!!! *cries* I know, I know, I have asked him several times to tell me what's what. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 14:07 2
        
        Just put in a series of known points and test if it gives you an accurate reading. - musubi Sep 14, 14:09 1
        
        I am, and it's not. I know I got something wrong. that's why I'm asking. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 14:28
    - times 60 would be for "minutes" but you said the coords are decimal. -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:45 4
      - the 60 is bothering me. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:49 3
        
        me too plus I think you meant ... - zork Sep 14, 13:52 2
        
        I have 350 locations, and for each of those I have to find the closest among 120 shelters. It is going to be a spreadsheet with a formula. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:55 1
        
        so far this is the best I can find ... -- (link) - zork Sep 14, 14:07
- spawn said it looks good. I'm sure he wouldn't be trying to mislead. (does it take into account the curvature of the earth?) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:37 8
  - of course, the Earth is not a sphere. It's more of an oblate. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:39 6
    - you know who else is an oblate? my brother. - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:40 1
      - I haven't done radian math in ages. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:42
    - Your face is an oblate. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:40 3
      - as is everyone's. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:41 2
        
        if you live in a hall of mirrors. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:42
        
        oh, of course. I just thought I'd point out yours in particular. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:41
  - um, that's what the radians are for. -- nm - loosilu at work Sep 14, 13:37
sitwmoped: My Boys canceled... -- (link) - Remlik Sep 14, 13:35 4
- I blame that uppity fuck, Jim Gaffigan. -- nm - David Sep 14, 13:42
- Poor what's her name, loses an NBC show because of this one, then loses it. -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 13:39
- "No Shirt...No shoes...No SERVICE." - JaxSean Sep 14, 13:39

- Huh...Pulls out magnifying glass...Huh -- nm - amoxy Sep 14, 13:37 2
  - zoom. zoom. ENHANCE! -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:38 1
    - Enhance to 100power -- nm - Captain Picard Sep 14, 13:39
- *points and laughs* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 14, 13:35 1
  - HARASSMENT! -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:37
- Just because you do it as a profession doesn't make it professional around here -- nm - oblique Sep 14, 13:35
Just ban locker room interviews already, ffs. They're moronic anyway. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 13:34 10
- Never! My junk must be acknowledged! -- nm - Visanthe Shiancoe Sep 14, 13:42 1
  - Just post it on your blog. -- nm - Chris Cooley Sep 14, 13:45
- and can we get rid of interviewing baseball managers and coaches in the dugout in the middle of games, please? -- nm - znufrii Sep 14, 13:38 1
  - I'd much rather get rid of baseball uniforms on baseball managers and coaches -- nm - zork Sep 14, 13:55
- Totally. I wish *all* reporters were restricted from the locker room. - musubi Sep 14, 13:38
- [deleted]
- I hate them. I just wait outside. -- nm - Reagen Sep 14, 13:36 1
  - Can't stand the catcalls? -- nm - Spawn Sep 14, 13:43
- "Do you mind if I answer that while I'm doing my Gold Bond? Word." -- nm - TFox Sep 14, 13:35
- This seems to be the growing consensus. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 14, 13:34
