- It cannot be worse than Skyline -- nm - ceregon Mar 10, 12:59
- The first paragraph of Ebert's review is scathing (no spoilers) - MDH Mar 10, 12:45 2
  - Ouch. Maybe I should just let trailers be the majority of my movie-watching from now on. The Trailers Only Movie Festival! First up... - HdnAgnda Mar 10, 12:47
  - "Young men: If you attend this crap with friends who admire it, tactfully inform them they are idiots. Young women: If your date likes this movie,..." - Ender Mar 10, 12:47
- that good, huh? -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 12:43 1
  - You know your statement actually works on another level with the way STers sometimes punish themselves with bad movies. -- nm - HdnAgnda Mar 10, 12:45

Two Democratic members of the Wisconsin Assembly forced to climb into the Capitol building through a window after police seal off the building -- (link) - znufrii Mar 10, 12:32 12
- thoose police are public employees right? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 12:47 2
  - yup, but specificalyl excluded from the union-busting bill -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 12:48 1
    - well guess the word solidarity means "only if it benefits me" -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 12:49
- Wisconsin sounds like it's gone batshit insane. I guess Arizona Fever is infectious. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:44
- Way to go Wisconsin -- nm - amoxy Mar 10, 12:33
- nice to know -- nm - some crazy person Mar 10, 12:33 6
  - Yeah, if I were the capitol police I'd be concerned that somebody could just climb in a window. -- nm - Ender Mar 10, 12:35 5
    - The police are probably too busy tracking down all the death threats. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:43 1
      - I guess there's no reason to worry, that one threat said they had already planted the bomb at the capitol, not that they were GOING to. -- nm - Ender Mar 10, 12:46
    - Someone might get crazy and sneak in some sense -- nm - con_carne Mar 10, 12:36 1

  - You're so fluffy -- nm - Stephen, Winning Here, Winning There Mar 10, 13:21
- is the leagal in the US to do a sex screen and abortion based on gender? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Mar 10, 12:45 6
  - abortion implies the woman is pregnant with the embryo. controlling the gender involves implanting fertilized eggs with the right gender makeup. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 12:46 5
    - Or not, you can sort the sperm, people. Google "family balancing". -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 12:48 4
      - "Okay now, boys swim to the left and girls swim to the right." -- nm - Doctors Mar 10, 12:49
      - This is not in direct response to Andie. It's just to get this ugly thread to just stop. -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 12:49 2
        
        it's cool - i knew there was a 'sorting' somewhere earlier. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 13:07
        
        I appreciate the efforts. (And I'd never heard of family balancing. Interesting.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:50
- Yeah, time to pay the bucks and get 'er done. -- nm - Heavy Metal Spawn Mar 10, 12:36

- my boss adopted their third because it was the only way to guarantee they'd have a girl. - TFox Mar 10, 12:33 3
  - I think they can pick out the x's and y's and just use one kind. Or, you can do a bunch of embryos and pick only one gender. Or, if discarding - Amy Mar 10, 12:39 2
    - according to what I googled, they fertilize, then test the embryo. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:40 1
      - What about the Erikson Method? Clinics do that. -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 12:45
- the word you are looking for is "abortion". -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:32 39
  - Heh. The way you put it, it comes off as the bickering couple in Airplane - amoxy Mar 10, 12:50 1
    - I'm a terrible, evil person, amoxy. everythign I do is malicious and evil. - loosilu Mar 10, 12:51
  - that's probably a little extreme. -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 12:38 5
    - We are running a special. Pay for two now, and the third one is free. -- nm - Doctor Mar 10, 12:39
    - it's used in other countries (maybe China?) to pick the sex. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:39 3
      - Um. Yeah, to great health detriment to the mother. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:40 2
        
        I'm just the messenger. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:41 1
        
        *flashes back to the Metatron in Dogma* ... so you're like a ken doll, eh? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:42
  - Wow. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:38 21
    - wait, do you guys think I was making a recommendation. For the love of god, of course not. - loosilu Mar 10, 12:44 17
      - and you read malicious intent into mine. how are yours different? - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:46 13
        
        maybe you assume I am like you. I'm not. this is ridiculous. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:49 8
        
        I don't know how you could have possibly thought your initial post was an appropriate response. - Reagen Mar 10, 12:52 3
        
        for the millionth time... I am a bad writer. I know this. People keep reading cruel intent into my words. I get that it's my fault. - loosilu Mar 10, 12:53 2
        
        give up writing for Lent. -- nm - Max Mar 10, 12:53 1

        FFS: "'m URGING HER to go to a doctor that can help her control this (This is possible, right?)" - Spawn Mar 10, 12:51
        
        you are *nothing* like me. I am interested in real estate, not abortion. -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:50 2
        
        you should ask Max about real estate and buses. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:51 1

        brightside: I just sent out limited distro email that includes the word "whatshisname." you can take a break from hate and go "awwwwwww" instead. - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:49 2
        
        Shouldn't it include "whatshiscock" instead? -- nm - Jim Mar 10, 12:50 1
        
        no, different guy. that guy was last week. keep up. -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:51
      - no, but that was a pretty harsh comment when that was clearly not what Jack is talking about. -- nm - Andie Mar 10, 12:45 1
        
        I can understand that it came out harsh. My intent was to give information, that's all. that's all I intend to do 99% of the time. - loosilu Mar 10, 12:47
      - That was a straight forward response to his question. -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:45
    - We only have 56 posts to go before a roll ... -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:39 2
      - 55 -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:40 1
        
        54 -- nm - Spawn Mar 10, 12:41
  - No. You can pick embryo gender with in vitro. -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 12:33 5
    - Doctor: "Congratulations, you're having seven boys!" ... JackDawson: "FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU**!!!!!!!" heheh" -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:37 3 1
      - hmm, I'll have to remember that one for later. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:37 2
        
        (my word-wrapping code isn't respecting HTMLEntities. Heh.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:38 1
        
        Bastard. -- nm - HTMLEntities Mar 10, 12:39
    - ah, didn't think of that. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:33
  - note: I am not trying to be incediary. That's the only way I know to pick the sex. -- nm - loosilu Mar 10, 12:32 2
    - *not trying to be incendiary.* ok. -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:36
    - technically speaking, it doesn't let you pick the sex. It lets you discard non-matching result sets. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:36
so I put why white laundry in the washer before I left for work. in that white laundry were some new towels, which are white with orange trim. - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:24 2

  - oh shiz. will they still smell like bleach? -- nm - amanda "reduced service" jones Mar 10, 12:37

  - Johnny Caspar? -- nm - Reagen Mar 10, 12:28
  - I always loved these kinds of questions. I like the whole reference interview process, and it's so great when you get the whole story and figure out - Amy Mar 10, 12:24 4
    - He really, really didn't want to elaborate. Usually "what kind of information to you want the book to have" works pretty well. -- nm - mara Mar 10, 12:27 3
      - I always asked if they had a title or author in mind (always no) and then go into the whole "civic cars?" or some totally wrong thing to get them to -- nm - explain. Amy Mar 10, 12:29 2
        
        Well, asking "books about how government works?" got a no. Other questions got a no. He truly didn't want to explain. - mara Mar 10, 12:32 1
        
        Oh yeah, he means ESP for sure. Or, he's just embarassed he doesn't know the word. Those broke my heart. -- nm - Amy Mar 10, 12:33

        except I don't think it updates the count until the board rolls -- nm - znufrii Mar 10, 12:19 4
        
        It actually caches the result for an hour, then the next hit after the cache expires takes a while to generate the table again -- nm - Beryllium Mar 10, 12:21 2

        This is how he "wins" at Halo, too. You get points even for being a terrible player now. -- nm - David, Techno-Optimist Mar 10, 12:41
