- [deleted]
- yes. -- nm - kelly Oct 11, 13:44
- Used to be, at least. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:43

- Certainly less ways it could go wrong than relying on humans. - not2fast Oct 11, 14:01
- Pretty cool. I expect it'll lead to improved collision avoidance systems at the least - TWuG Oct 11, 13:49
- That's terrifying. -- nm - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 11, 13:43 1
  - I know. I mean. where are they driving to? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:45

- I don't get what "broadcast standards" would have kept it off the air. That could have easily been a Treehouse of Horror clip. -- nm - Max Oct 11, 13:42
- They kind of have to. -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 13:33
Is this worth 60 years in jail? And is this really all that common? (includes butt stuff... yay!) - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 11, 13:28 5
- that will get plea bargained down to plain assault, will probably drop the sex portion so the roomies don't have to register as sex offenders - zeitgeist Oct 11, 13:56
- After actually reading the atricle, that's pretty horrible. 60 years might not be out of line. - musubi Oct 11, 13:37

  - Mental note: some jail time sounds good to ML. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 13:31 1

So who was responsible for reminding me the library was closed today? It was a pleasant walk but... - MojaveMeg Oct 11, 13:13 11
- Closed for National Coming Out Day? -- nm - Dano Oct 11, 13:32
- I blame Mara, naturally. -- nm - Qale Oct 11, 13:30 1
  - Yeah, I've been laying low and hoping nobody would notice me. Sorry, Meg. -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:36
- It's all ty97's fault. Fire him. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 11, 13:25 2
  - No fair! I don't even know why the library is closed. Unless Meg's in Canada. -- nm - ty97 Oct 11, 13:40
  - [deleted]
- it was the teabaggers job to call you and go neener neener, no bookie wookie for you today -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 11, 13:16
- Ours was open. I finally got to the top of the list for The Disappearing Spoon and went to pick it up. - JaxSean Oct 11, 13:16 1
  - I've got Girl Who Played With Fire waiting for me. Disappearing Spoon is still down the list. - MojaveMeg Oct 11, 13:20
- What I don't get is that a lot of banks here are actually open. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:14
- I almost went to the bank today. Stupid non-holiday holiday -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:14
Emanuelle Vaugier in Human Target is a really quite nice sight -- nm - marcel Oct 11, 13:09
2 Iconic pieces of Comic Art are going up for sale, the cover for Superman #14 (him with the eagle) and Detective #69 (joker cover)...could fetch - Remlik Oct 11, 13:07 3
- Jerry Robinson has shopped these to death over the last decade. every major collector has passed on them countless times -- nm - peglegpete Oct 11, 13:09 2
  - and dealer -- nm - peglegpete Oct 11, 13:10 1
    - how come? I have to think with McFarlane and the other pieces going for $380 grand now is the time for him to strike -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 13:13
"Do we need to know the volume of a circle?" - nubby Oct 11, 13:06 6
- Without lamps there would be no light. -- nm - John Bender Oct 11, 13:31
- So the answer is no, because that's not an advanced problem -- nm - decline Oct 11, 13:26
- Pies are squared. -- nm - Inigo Oct 11, 13:15
- heh -- nm - CQ Oct 11, 13:09
- you didn't specify that it was a flat circle -- nm - marcel Oct 11, 13:07
- Obviously you wasted all that time you devoted to making the test :) -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:07
Did we talk about this? Couple asks surrogate mother to abort fetus because the baby has down's syndrome -- (link) - amoxy Oct 11, 13:06 32
- do you think a couple should have the option to abort a fetus that has down's, if the mother is carrying it herself? - kare Oct 11, 13:22 13
  - I guess my problem is that this couple has put so much into getting a child - amoxy Oct 11, 13:27 12
    - sorry, but i think that's an ignorant pov. i'm sure their decision was far, far more complex and agonizing than this. -- nm - kare Oct 11, 13:31 11
      - Really? -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 13:33 10
        
        i would have had a screening test on friday. i was petrified that something terrible would come up and we'd have to make an agonizing decision - kare Oct 11, 13:39 9
        
        I have been there so just don't -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 13:42
        
        surely you see the ethical trouble. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:40 7
        
        [deleted]
        
        All the more reason not to pass judgement. - musubi Oct 11, 13:43
        
        because of the surrogacy? somewhat. far less so if it was not the surrogate's, biologically. - kare Oct 11, 13:42 4
        
        no, because of the issue of "aborting because of defect". - Reagen Oct 11, 13:44 3
        
        So folks might support a woman's right to chose abortion for no reason, but not for that reason? -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:46 2
        
        i'm sort of blown away. ST break time. laters folks, and amoxy, i'm so sorry if i said anything to hurt you - kare Oct 11, 13:48
        
        supporting someone's right to choose does not mean you have support their reasons for choosing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 13:48
- So, you think the couple should be forced to raise the child? -- nm - con_carne Oct 11, 13:11 15
  - [deleted] 1
    - this -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:18
  - If you want to get legal about it, yes. They signed an agreement -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 13:16 3
    - [deleted]
    - "Under the agreement the trio signed, the surrogate�s choice would mean absolving the couple of any responsibility for raising the child." -- nm - mara Oct 11, 13:18 1
      - I am curious as to the allowed causes for this to be in effect, or could the couple just change their mind for no reason? -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:19
  - the surrogacy issue itself notwithstanding... - znufrii Oct 11, 13:16 4
    - wow. - kare Oct 11, 13:23 3
      - hmmm? -- nm - znufrii Oct 11, 13:25 2
        
        i just can't even begin to fathom where anyone has a right to judge a situation like this - kare Oct 11, 13:29 1
        
        *shrug* - znufrii Oct 11, 13:32
  - I don't think that's what he's saying. Being pro-choice is being pro-your-choice for your body. Telling/asking someone else to get an abortion - Jim Oct 11, 13:14
  - Not any more than I think the woman should be forced to have an abortion. If nothing else it should be set up so that the kid can be put up - oblique Oct 11, 13:13 2

Maybe I should have left the internets after the Minka Kelly post. But no, I had to stay on and find out there's a Family Circus movie in the works. -- (link) - HdnAgnda Oct 11, 13:03
White Collar fans, the lead has a new movie starring Melora Hardin (Jan/Office) and...The Big Show (Paul Wight from the WWE).... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 11, 13:02 [youtube] 2
- You mean Royal Pains. -- nm - nubby Oct 11, 13:04 1
  - thanks for the correction! -- nm - Remlik Oct 11, 13:06
Ya know...if someone in the SEC would just nut up and play Boise...maybe we could all be spared from threads like crash and David's on B2. nm - Jim Oct 11, 12:59 14
- they will, David will rest his entire reputation on opening week 2011, Ole Miss vs Boise State - crash davis Oct 11, 13:12 5
  - Imagine Crash's horror if his team can't beat one of the SEC's weakest link the past 20 years. -- nm - David Oct 11, 13:14 3
    - I won't be horrified. Its a rebuilding year, and humidity is a bitch. -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:17 2
      - Speaking of rebuilding, we had six true freshmen on offense one series last week. - David Oct 11, 13:20 1
        
        I keep thinking things like that have to bode well for the future. -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:21
  - but that is a trivial aside, what I really want is the cream of the SEC to play some PAC-10 games -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:13
- The last time Boise State played an SEC school, they lost by 35. - David Oct 11, 13:06 7
  - If it would be that much of a cake walk...why not schedule them then? - Jim Oct 11, 13:15 6
    - Say what you will about Pete Carroll that is one this that I truly admired. He scheduled the hardest games he could find. - musubi Oct 11, 13:27 2
      - well of course he did, he ran a good program - not one that hides behind its own conference and preying upon the Big 10 -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:30 1
        
        No, we just preyed on the Big 10 in The Rose Bowl. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 13:33
    - That's right. 35 points. - David Oct 11, 13:19 2
      - the same margin that Oregon beat an SEC school by this year -- nm - crash davis Oct 11, 13:23 1
        
        One that recently had 6 true freshmen on the field on the same play, yes. - David Oct 11, 13:24

- honestly, considering how long this community has been around, i'm amazed we haven't had an incident like this ever. -- nm - Andie Oct 11, 13:04 11
  - 10+ years ago, my ex got into IRC and I think made some pretty crazy accusations. -- nm - kare Oct 11, 13:25 3
    - ooh, like what? -- nm - David Oct 11, 13:26 2
      - i think he thought i was having a cyber affair. - kare Oct 11, 13:33 1
        
        did you make a Sims? - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:37
  - Facto? -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:13
  - is it cause we don't have any real " bashers"? - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:11 2
    - Let me tell something about my ex wife. - David Oct 11, 13:18 1
      - Mine's a doofus -- nm - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:38
  - Well, there is one dude who keep complaining about his lesbian ex. - Inigo Oct 11, 13:11 2
    - complaining is not bashing though - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:13 1
      - I was just teasing Amoxy. STers are good people, and as a group we've gone through a lot. -- nm - Inigo Oct 11, 13:17
- whoa! see, it could totally happen! -- nm - kare Oct 11, 13:00
- That's what Facebook is for! -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 12:57 11
  - Facebook was fun until my relatives found me - Epiphany Oct 11, 12:59 10
    - that is why you create two accounts, one for family and one for friends. - tRuMaN Oct 11, 13:07
    - This is what I think the new "groups" thing is very interesting. You could be in a group for your family but not be friends with any of them - oblique Oct 11, 13:04 3
      - I need to look into how to do this -- nm - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:14 2
        
        ah. It looks like anyone can "request to join" the group even if a friend doesn't add them so that answers that question -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:22
        
        The new feature is kinda hidden but you can go here: -- (link) - oblique Oct 11, 13:15
    - ... -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 13:01
    - yeah, that's part of the problem too. -- nm - kare Oct 11, 13:00
    - I cracked up at the -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 13:00 2
      - stek "Bird is the Word" video you got linked to - amoxy Oct 11, 13:01 1
        
        I have no idea if I even want to know what you are talking about -- nm - Epiphany Oct 11, 13:09
- Wow. Mrs ML really is a saint. (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 12:57
I certainly agree with Cox starting Conrad at 2b, defensive miscues and all, but in the ninth with a lead.... - musubi Oct 11, 12:55 2
- I would certainly agree if we hadn't had to burn Dave Ross. - David Oct 11, 13:01 1
  - Losing Ishikawa after being ahead 1-2 was key. - musubi Oct 11, 13:07
BTW, if those of you who participated in the baseball stats discussion last week didn't watch last night's Simpsons, hunt it down on the net. - David Oct 11, 12:54 4

Christmas morning, indeed. -- nm - Spawn Oct 11, 12:54

- Reagen, it's time for a Venn diagram! (nm) - musubi Oct 11, 12:56 1
  - there's a circle in there about meth. -- nm - Reagen Oct 11, 12:58
HdnAgenda must've had some really awesome Christmas mornings at his house - oblique Oct 11, 12:53 3
- Some gifts you play with for hours. -- nm - HdnAgnda Oct 11, 12:57 2
  - I'm not ashamed to admit that I'd be done in about 3 seconds with her -- nm - oblique Oct 11, 13:02 1
    - Totally understandable but here is where I think my brain and body would get on the same page and say "Ya know what? We're gonna skip the refractory - HdnAgnda Oct 11, 13:05
Hot really Hot -- nm - amoxy Oct 11, 12:52
