- By the way to help you decide whether to believe NOAA or me on the snow totals. Is NOAA taking you out for 5 Guys? Just a thought -- nm - Redmond home from work, bad weather Dec 22, 17:16 2
  - You know, come to think of it, NOAA sucks. They're always wrong. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 22, 17:22 1

Ok, cause STIS, Directtv or Dish Network? - Stephen Dec 22, 16:53 8
- We've had DTV since 2001 and been happy. I hear Dish is bad about billing/cust. svc. issues -- nm - rollo Dec 22, 17:15
- I've been satisfied with DirecTV, but I only have basic service, no premium channels/dvr, etc. -- nm - NutMeg Dec 22, 16:56
- I think DirecTV has a new Tivo box if you're into that. Otherwise, the Dish DVR is well regarded. -- nm - Mop Dec 22, 16:56 1
  - Oh. Not yet. "Second half of 2009". In "TV world", that means "never". -- (link) - Mop Dec 22, 16:59

- I just need to know if flights will be landing on Thursday. - psilotum Dec 22, 16:46 3

    - SEA, actually. But I think another storm is predicted up there, too. -- nm - psilotum Dec 22, 17:02 1

Aahhh I'm so confused! - lileve Dec 22, 16:38 16
- "Are you gay? Or just toying with me?" -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 22, 16:49 6
  - I think "toying with me" is kind of unfair. I know somebody who says things like that, and he's just an open-hearted, emotionally generous person. -- nm - mara christmas, movie house! Dec 22, 16:59 5
    - I was being facetious! - ReluctantCynic Dec 22, 17:09 1

Znu - Mostly that some of the arguments in favour of abortion on demand are still couched in anarchoristic views surrounding birth control. - Name Withheld By Request Dec 22, 16:14 5
- I can sympathize with that view, I just don't see why you're drawing the connection between that and the availability of Plan B. -- nm - znufrii Dec 22, 16:16 4
