- "5. Don't tell Hasbro" heheh -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 15:22
- Right now, I'm scrolling the entire thing looking for a Z. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 15:14 3
  - there's "SEIZE" near where I'm playing. I'd try and describe it, but that seems impossible. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 15:19 2
    - I've found several, but just not ideal. Possibly I'll try a different strategy. :-) -- nm - mara Oct 20, 15:22 1
      - Oh, dear, I have to build on my own words. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 15:34
- LEEEROY JENKINS! -- nm - hachiko Oct 20, 15:14
And I can feel, one of my turns, coming on. I, feel, cold as a razor blade, tight as a tourniquet, dry as a funeral drum. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 15:12 1

Natural foods blog explains why McD's hamburgers don't decompose, tweaks mainstream media for jumping on the story. -- (link) - Mop (224 lbs) Oct 20, 15:03 9
- Not much of a tweak, but he's right, it's old news. - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 15:23 1
  - also, if they weren't food, we couldn't digest them. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 15:24
- I guarantee you a dog will see a McDonald's bun as food. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 15:05 4
  - I was just about to post this. I own two that definitely "perceive a McDonald's hamburger bun as food" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 15:10 1

I don't understand why SUMIF is sexy? why would I not sort and filter to get my SUMIF? -- nm - chromanda Oct 20, 14:58 7
- Well, when one piece of data changes, you have to do that rigmarole all over again -- nm - Lon_cHaneY Oct 20, 15:05 1
  - This, exactly. I need my spreadsheets to work automatically when I add or change data. If I have to go in and sort things, I've designed it wrong. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 15:10
- I've been SUMIFing all day, when I want to some things conditionally. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 15:03 4
  - this is my point. why not sort and filter (although jason just sold me on one use for sumif, so I guess I get it some now.) -- nm - chromanda Oct 20, 15:06 2
    - with 100,000 rows of data, hell no. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 15:06 1
      - anyway, I have to do multiple sums on each worksheet, so sorting makes no sense. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 15:07
  - when I want to SUM things. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 15:04
I'm attempting to encourage my strata council to rethink our dog bylaw as "up to 25 pounds of dog" instead of "1 dog up to 25 pounds". heh. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:57 17
- the smaller the dog the more they yap incessantly yap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yapyap yap - zeitgeist Oct 20, 16:22
- my building allows "small pets, with approval of the board." -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 15:12
- Wait, I thought you guys did kilograms up there? - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 15:04 1
  - Colloquially we use pounds for weight of people and pets (but governmentally we use KGs) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 15:10
- "Up to 2 dogs, combined weight not to exceed 25 pounds" -- nm - TWuG Oct 20, 15:01 2
  - yeah, that's it. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 15:01 1
    - (There's a two-cat limit, and some dogs are like cats.) - Beryllium Oct 20, 15:01
- I would definitely not want to encourage someone owning four six-pound dogs. - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 14:58 6
  - or to complete the slippery slope, 25 one-pound dogs -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:59 4
    - Just wait till someone brings in 400 one-ounce dogs. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 15:02
    - 34 puppies! I get rid of them one by one as they gain weight! -- nm - mara Oct 20, 15:00 2
      - I smell TV show! - Beryllium Oct 20, 15:00 1
        
        Hee! -- nm - mara Oct 20, 15:06
  - yep. luckily it requires a special exception in each case. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:58
- (A potential buyer asked if they would be allowed to bring 2 dogs in, a maltese and a yorkshire terrier. I really don't seen issue with it.) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:57
- so you could have 5 dogs at 5 pounds each? -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:57 1
  - that is where the logic goes, yes, but the way we'd approach it is on a case by case basis. So that case would probably get a no. :) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:58
My voice is my passport. Verify. -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 14:55 4
- me. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 14:55 3
  - It always kinda bugged me, as implausible, that it was so hard to get him to say "passport". (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:59 2
    - maybe he's just careful never to say it. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 15:10
    - The man who folded this tube of Crest is looking for someone meticulous, refined. Anal. -- nm - crash davis Oct 20, 15:01
Mike Zimmer: not a fan of Bobby Petrino. - David Oct 20, 14:51 5
- I'm not disputing it, but how did Petrino's gutlessness ruin peoples family? (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:57 4
  - I guess he meant people had to move after less than a year. - David Oct 20, 15:01 3
    - They'd have to move in less than a year if he waited till the end of the season too, right? - musubi Oct 20, 15:16 2
      - Keep in mind that Zimmer's wife died the year after, so that probably adds to the rage. -- nm - David Oct 20, 15:23 1
        
        Ah. Yeah, that'd do it. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 15:36
Poll: Do you have any kind of preference or taste that you readily admit is at least somewhat irrational? - mara Oct 20, 14:49 29
- when I was a kid I used to be fine with eating the first bite of a hot dog - but would refuse to eat the "end" bite - JenBro Oct 20, 15:53
- I like white grapefruit juice in my Coke but it's an emotional struggle to not look upon those who don't as crazy. -- nm - Max Oct 20, 15:44
- I like drinking Olive juice -- nm - amoxy Oct 20, 15:33
- I like chopped up tomatoes, but not sliced tomatoes. -- nm - Kim Pine Oct 20, 15:31

- Michael Landon TV shows - hachiko Oct 20, 14:53 3
  - oh, on the favorable side too? i'll *gladly* throw my 311 fandom in as being irrational. -- nm - TFox Oct 20, 14:55 1
    - fandom is always irrational, because by defnition it's emotional. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:55
  - those are both excellent shows. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:54
- I don't get what the big deal is with brie cheese. Or for that matter, caviar. -- nm - con_carne Oct 20, 14:53 4
  - no big deal the more the better -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 20, 14:56
  - I also think chocolate-covered strawberries are kind of gross. -- nm - con_carne Oct 20, 14:54 2
    - on a hot summer day looking over the sea it's nice icecold -- nm - Danedukenuuk Oct 20, 14:57
    - tip: don't try the new pepperidge farm strawberry milano cookies. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 14:56
- My anti-tomato stance is probably a little more rigid than necessary. - TFox Oct 20, 14:52
- there's a lot of beer I won't drink, but that's just having standards. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 14:52
- I think most taste preferences are probably irrational. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:51 3
  - But just other people's, right? ;-) -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:53 2
    - mine too. I'm approaching this rationally. :) -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:54
    - Exclusively other peoples. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:53
- My tastes are not only all rational, they are also exclusively correct. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:51
- I have a few, but I can't remember what they are right now. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:50 1
  - I only like certain shapes and sizes for the enter key and shift key on keyboards (which is why I haven't bought a netbook), that's one -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:53
- Not to start this whole fight again, but I *cannot* consume Miracle Whip. - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 14:50 1

The guys will like this photo of a lecherous-looking dog. -- (link) - mara Oct 20, 14:43 1
- you shouldn't do that to me when I'm hundreds of miles from women. -- nm - mafic Oct 20, 14:47
LYC: I know most people have a preference between the colas. It's the utter refusal to consume the other brand that's wacky. - musubi Oct 20, 14:43 14
- oh there's a big difference ... just not for everyone's taste buds -- nm - JenBro Oct 20, 15:54
- i don't really understand the discussion wither one Cola is just like the other - Danedukenuuk Oct 20, 14:54 4
  - Oh, I heard somewhere lately that DIET cola in your whiskey/rum and cola makes you drunk faster. - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 15:00 3
    - I remember reading that a couple of years ago... probably this. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 20, 15:14
    - I would guess the other way. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 15:05 1
      - Oh, snap! IT'S TRUE! -- (link) - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 15:14
- I don't really care between coke or pepsi, but some of the generics are pretty terrible. - mafic Oct 20, 14:53 1
  - This. -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:55
- i don't refuse. but i have a clear preference and i wouldn't buy a whole case of pepsi if coke was available -- nm - hachiko Oct 20, 14:48
- It's like, I could sit through one Jessica Simpson movie. But I wouldn't sign up to watch one every day for a month. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 14:47 1
  - but you'd watch Shawshank Redemption every day for a month -- nm - Beryllium Oct 20, 14:48
- I drink Pepsi if it's all that's available. Though if I ask for Coke at a restaurant and am asked if Pepsi is okay, I'll usually order Mt Dew - TWuG Oct 20, 14:46
- You don't care about the difference, and that's great. Some of us care. -- nm - loosilu Oct 20, 14:46 1
  - Obviously. Which is wacky. - musubi Oct 20, 14:47
Kevin Durant is on the cover of Sports Illustrated... he told them he wouldn't do it unless they put lesser known teammates on the cover also. - stewie Oct 20, 14:40 1

  - I have quite literally never heard of anyone drinking plain tonic water before. (nm) - musubi Oct 20, 14:49 3
    - I've tried - can't stand it. Doc recommended it for leg cramps. -- nm - MojaveMeg Oct 20, 14:52
    - I've drunk quinine water by itself. Is that tonic? -- nm - mara Oct 20, 14:50 1

  - I've gotten so used to Diet Coke with Lime that I can't drink regular coke anymore, and Diet Coke even tastes weird. - JaxSean Oct 20, 14:50
  - I tend to lean towards the above, diet mountain dew, and certainly diet coke over the other options. - groiny Oct 20, 14:42
  - and it also doesn't wrap around thinking even the colas taste the same. -- nm - b. Oct 20, 14:42 1
    - I have noticed that I can't tell the difference between any of the supermarket-generic diet colas. - Dr.Vermin Oct 20, 14:53
