- Those are awesome (unless you're vacationing in Japan, in which case, be careful). -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:37
- "member signin" -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:37 2
  - well sign up for an account, duh - kare Dec 8, 08:37 1

ST DML: Best Buy Black Tie protection on my washer? Yea or Nay? - oblique Dec 8, 08:24 12
- only if it's a frigidaire, because they make the worst quality components in the marketplace....nm - x Dec 8, 08:37 2
  - or LG (just ask Max) -- nm - decline Dec 8, 08:39
  - Whirlpool -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 08:37
- I've heard those best buy warranties are all pretty much a rip off -- nm - decline Dec 8, 08:32
- I say no. Washers & Dryers are kind of built to last a few years. The only thing (to me) that's of interest is the coverage for power surges. - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:32
- how much is the washer? -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:26 3
  - Hundreds for sure. I'd have to look up the exact amount but my gut says $500? -- nm - oblique Dec 8, 08:29 1
    - Nah, not 10% of the cost for coverage that may not even activate if it broke in some weird way. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:30
  - (but reading it, probably not. i like the "replacement no matter what" programs better than the "normal wear and tear" ones.) -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:28
- [deleted]
- No. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:25
- extended warranty? I never ever do. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:24

The longer this Wikileaks storm goes on, the more I think it will result in more secrecy than ever. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:10 2

  - our people at DOD and DOJ are probably scrambling like mad to come up with a legal pretext to charge him. - loosilu Dec 8, 08:13

Humpday poll - Would you drink an energy drink called 'Pussy'? There was a can in a goody bag I got recently. -- nm - LMS Dec 8, 08:05 6
- no way. -- nm - TFox Dec 8, 08:22
- Sure, but wait till you're around friends so you could have a laugh -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 08:09 1
  - We're saving it for a time when we can use it to maximum comic potential. -- nm - LMS Dec 8, 08:11
- I don't drink energy drinks. I do drink mixed drinks with vaguely "offensive" names, though. Sex on the Beach is the yum. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:08
- "Tastes like wet monkey." -- nm - Trish s.i. Dec 8, 08:06

Another foursquare badge for Jack Dawson from Sam Adams -- (link) - oblique Dec 8, 08:04 3
- how do you get that? -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 08:30 2
  - Looks like you use Untappd to report what you're drinking and it is linked in with Foursquare -- (link) - oblique Dec 8, 08:35 1
    - So no app available in the droid market. you have to go to their site to get it. -- nm - Remlik Dec 8, 08:44
Thx Jim and Loosi - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:01 3
- i'm late to this, but this is one of my favorite things about card autos: the COA is physically attached to the signature from a company I trust. - TFox Dec 8, 08:17
- any time. I give all the credit to my partner Jim. - loosilu Dec 8, 08:02 1
  - Word. -- nm - Jim Dec 8, 08:02

  - i'm sure they're out there. it's certainly being treated like it was the real deal....nm - x Dec 8, 08:09 1
    - that's the default, I'm sure. given the timing it's most likely a student. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:11
- Go up to the hawt female fbi agent (there always is one!) and tell her you believe -- nm - decline Dec 8, 08:04

Filipino staff sue hospital over English-only rule. They say they were the only group targeted. STers, do you mind people speaking other languages - loosilu Dec 8, 07:49 9
- We have a few Russian programmers who lapse into Russian on occasion... - Mel Profit Dec 8, 08:00 2
  - truthfully, a small fraction of the time they are probably being secretive. - loosilu Dec 8, 08:03 1
    - Of this I am sure. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 8, 08:07
- i don't care at all what language people speak at my work.... - x Dec 8, 07:56 1
  - my dentists and their staff speak spanish all around me. I kind of like it. distracts me from the procedure. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:58
- I could see if being good in a hospital so that people don't get all paranoid over personal health information. -- nm - sycor Dec 8, 07:52 2
  - hmmm, that would not have occurred to me (as a patient). -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:53 1
    - people are the center of their universe. people always think someone speaking in another language is talking about them. -- nm - sycor Dec 8, 07:57
- "English only at the table, no Russian." -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:50

  - you strike me as just the type that has the best looking gifts in the family. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 8, 08:02 10
    - God, yes. Her and kare. How I hate them. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:05 7
      - one year i had real holly sprigs! - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:13
      - Hey, it's people like them that keep traditions alive. :) - con_carne Dec 8, 08:10 1
        
        the gift bag contingent hates them for their traditionalism. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 8, 08:12
      - they probably have a plate of fresh baked cookies on a plate nearby, some soft Holiday music...it's too damn cheerful I know. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 8, 08:08 1
        
        don't forget the laughing kids. They don't have their own kids, but the laughing kids materialize. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:12
      - right? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:07
      - *laughing* -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:06
    - *blink* OH.... "gifts." -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:05 1
      - My ST sense went off as I posted that but it was too late. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 8, 08:09
- probably a 5. but then again, i just reuse the present bags i have from last year first. -- nm - tRuMaN don't need no teaching Dec 8, 07:54 16
  - I'm no good at making pretty gift bags. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:59 15
    - Suzanne worked at Bath & Body works, and they make all their gift baskets/bags in-store. - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:02
    - it's all about fun coloured tissue paper and curling ribbon. -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:00 13
      - I can't get the rectangular paper to peek out in a pretty way. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:02 12
        
        Make a (loose) fist with on hand, and poke the middle of the tissue paper into it so it makes a "cone." - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:04 11
        
        oh, nice. I need to try this. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:05 10
        
        do you put the gift *inside* the cone of paper, or do you arrange the cones around the gift? -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:07 9
        
        i wrap one piece of tissue around the gift (camouflage) the rest are just for show. also, using two colours of tissue is more impressive. - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:17 4
        
        Yeah, yeah, then you spray them with glitter and scent them with pine somehow. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:21 2
        
        *laughing* - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:27 1
        
        Ha! -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:33
        
        *taking notes* -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:20
        
        arrange them around the gift. Put the gift in the bag, then put the "cones" around it. - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:10
        
        IMO, the gift is nnever inside the tissue that pokes out. If the gift needs to be inside, or on top of, tissue, those are seperate pieces. -- nm - mara Dec 8, 08:09 2
        
        ok, this must be where I'm screwing up. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 08:15
        
        this. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:10
- 9-10. worked at a place where I was taught how to wrap and do bows and stuff -- nm - decline Dec 8, 07:54
- 8. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 07:53
- I'd say 7 - 8. I wrap everything in our house, but I suck on "curved" items (i.e. non-boxed items). -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 07:51 1
  - those are the real test -- nm - Hotkiss Dec 8, 07:55
- I'm in the 8 to 9 range. I wrap everything every year. Hell, I just wrapped 50 Pinewood Derby cars last night. - Jim Dec 8, 07:51 3
  - *frets just thinking about when I had to wrap a Tire-shaped Hot Wheels car carrier* - JaxSean Dec 8, 07:53 2
    - Every year, I usually take one oddly shaped item and wrap it exactly as it is. I call it the mystery gift. - Jim Dec 8, 08:02 1
      - heh. Yeah, I could see doing that for one or two. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:04
- 3. I always try to conserve paper so I end up just short and then don't have the desire to waste that huge paper I miscut...so - Will Hunting Dec 8, 07:49 2
  - that's what all those little scraps are for! you put them under the hole. :) -- nm - Elf Andie Dec 8, 08:12 1
    - I'm so good, I don't create scraps. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:12
- 6, better than the average male -- nm - Strongbad Dec 8, 07:49
- I can get to 8, but am usually too lazy. -- nm - loosilu Dec 8, 07:49
- Middling and presentable... 6? -- nm - con_carne Dec 8, 07:49
- 4 -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 07:49
