      - oui. simple rolls, like cucumber, salmon, and tuna. plus miso soup -- nm - 9 days to pixmas Dec 16, 10:51 3
        
        Love a good miso soup - amoxy Dec 16, 10:53 1
        
        something about the way it tastes going down - i somehow feel healthier. - Diva Dec 16, 10:55
        
        good on them. it's like sushi training wheels. -- nm - Diva Dec 16, 10:52
- Gross. Sushi will (paradoxically) be well stocked in my personal hell. nm - Dignan Dec 16, 10:45 7

      - does not look appetizing at all. nm -- nm - groiny Dec 16, 10:44
      - I don't like fish in general so why would I eat it raw? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:44 5
        
        Because sushi is not like other types of fish dishes -- nm - con_carne wants it so bad Dec 16, 10:52
        
        not all is fish, nor is all raw -- nm - decline Dec 16, 10:47
        
        Not pushing it, but just as a point of note, I don't eat any seafood beyond fish sticks and I *love* maki rolls. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 10:46
        
        not all of it is fish. I do have a friend who dislikes fish but likes sushi, however. -- nm - loosilu Dec 16, 10:45
        
        it doesn't taste like fish really, with the soy sauce and wasabi -- nm - 9 days to pixmas Dec 16, 10:44

  - Same here. -- nm - Krusty Dec 16, 10:49
- I had three dollars in my bank account in October -- nm - amoxy Dec 16, 10:42
- A couple of months ago the checking account was just under $900. I hadn't seen anything close to 3 digits in years. - Diva Dec 16, 10:42 2
  - heh, i'm just the opposite. until this year, i don't think i had been approaching 4 digits in forever -- nm - 9 days to pixmas Dec 16, 10:43 1
    - Not w/o a little minus sign before the number, no, me neither. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Dec 16, 10:44

LIR: mara. It is more the necessity of having DRM. You're absolutely right that there is no Kindle DRM that supports a library model - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:36 9
- I'm not sure where we're supposed to get them. There's a vendor we can use? -- nm - mara Dec 16, 10:40 4
  - Probably not. I can't see any publisher putting out non-DRM protected books. Truthfully, I put most of the blame on Amazon. I don't see what reason - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:41 3
    - So I guess I totally misinterpreted your first post then. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 10:44 1
      - Oh, I'd love it if libraries went DRM free like iTunes did. It'd be great - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:46
    - One thing is that Overdrive (the big library vendor) uses their own software download. -- nm - Amy Dec 16, 10:43

  - Interestingly, the color Nook has been rooted/hacked to run stock Android -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:38 2
    - As soon as my "new ever 2" credit hits I'm getting whatevs Verizon is offering that is also a phone. Galaxy, or the next new thing. -- nm - Amy Dec 16, 10:39 1
      - Yes, that's the cream of the crop in Android tablets, for sure -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:40
so apparently, warner bros has found the 17 minutes of footage kubrick cut from 2001 after its release.... - x Dec 16, 10:36 2
- "...oh, absolutely I'm guilty. No question. But I'm the President, dammit. Hey wait a minute, you haven't been recording, have you? Son of a b" -- nm - Richard Nixon Dec 16, 10:39
