  - [deleted] 2
    - Tell him that Mexico gave up kidnapping and murder for Lent. -- nm - Roger More Mar 16, 13:14
    - Then don't worry about it. He'll just be in the hotel room while you go out, anyway. -- nm - Amy Mar 16, 13:13
  - this - tell him Mexican Lent starts the day after Cinco De Mayo. Which would be Seis de Mayo I guess. -- nm - Diva Mar 16, 13:12 3

Allmyapps.com takes the Nanite.com model to the next level, turning Windows downloads into an app store. -- (link) - Mop (206 lbs) Mar 16, 13:06
Is Whooping Cough one of those diseases making a resurgence because parents won't vaccinate their kids? - TWuG Mar 16, 13:05 7
- I was fully vaccinated as a kid and still got it. It was so rare at the time younger doctors kept misdiagnosing it. It sucked. -- nm - Diva Mar 16, 13:10
- I understand adults can carry it, too. Adults can get vaccinated. -- nm - con_carne Mar 16, 13:10 1
  - it's recommended that parents of babies get vaccinated. -- nm - loosilu Mar 16, 13:11
- It's the P in the DTaP vaccine. -- nm - mara Mar 16, 13:07

So if I drove 5 miles out of my way to buy a cheap corned beef...how much did it really cost me :/ -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 16, 13:00 6
- trust me, it costs over 50 cents a mile to drive a car, gas is but one component of the cost -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 16, 13:15
- oh crap. I need to go to Costco -- nm - Blinky the Three Eyed Fish Mar 16, 13:10

Did you notice on facebook that now when you post a comment you just press enter to post. Kind of dumb, since now you can't do multiple paragraphs in - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 16, 12:54 14
- Who are you, David? :) -- nm - oblique Mar 16, 13:03
- I know there's an option to turn that off for messages, didn't realize it also worked that way for commenting, though. -- nm - znufrii Mar 16, 13:00
- Yep. It sucks. Facebook doesn't make improvements, just changes for the sake of change. - TWuG Mar 16, 12:57 1
  - It sounds like this new behaviour works more like instant messaging clients ... but a web browser is not an IM client. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 12:58
- I think it's new. And I think it's dumb. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 12:57 2
  - No, it is not new. Facebook has always been dumb. -- nm - Spawn Mar 16, 12:58 1
    - The individual "improvement" is new; your premise is correct, though. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 16, 12:59
- I noticed that - is there a work around? and - how did a "friend" block me from commenting - its like a " read only" type feed - Epiphany Mar 16, 12:56 4
  - You can create groups of people and then deny those people access to certain stuff. - TWuG Mar 16, 12:58 2
    - only special people can comment - interesting. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 16, 13:11 1
      - Would you feel special if I gave you your own category and then made a post only you could comment on? -- nm - TWuG Mar 16, 13:14
  - It's an option in privacy settings. -- nm - Ender Mar 16, 12:58

- I agree with a larger evac area, but at the same time, I don't think it's - musubi Mar 16, 12:53 2
  - That is beside the point. No matter where in the world you are, you should be able to trust and follow local authorities in case of disaster. -- nm - con_carne Mar 16, 13:09 1
    - That would be ideal, but governments are not responsible for the safety of non citizens. -- nm - loosilu Mar 16, 13:11

  - Yeah, that works. -- nm - Mop (206 lbs) Mar 16, 12:43
- I think the unsung hero in this whole thing is the girl at the end who warns off the bully's back up. -- nm - Mop (206 lbs) Mar 16, 12:39

        I think we need to ask a Brit. -- nm - loosilu Mar 16, 12:41 3
        
        FWIW I've only heard mullet rhyme with gullet. -- nm - Roger More Mar 16, 12:55 2
        
        but youre not a Brit! -- nm - loosilu Mar 16, 13:06 1

    - Well, FEMA just declared most of my HOAs to be in flood zones and must be insured for it. - Spawn Mar 16, 12:37 4
      - where would the flooding come from? -- nm - loosilu Mar 16, 12:38 3
        
        Who knows. They set by Lake Monroe (largest manmade lake in the area). 6 or so years ago the lake overflowed, spilling over the spillway. - Spawn Mar 16, 12:41 2
        
        that's dumb. good luck with the surveying. -- nm - loosilu Mar 16, 12:42 1
