I really miss our used book store. It was tiny but packed, and it had that smell.

So they are trying to force the company to admit, “no we are still committed to anti-consumer policies to boost profits”, is that the point?

Listen, Im over here wearing my floaties, watching sales people doing a triple gainer off the high-dive. I’m not trying to pretend to be especially good with the social skills. All I’m saying is water is wet. Some people have an affinity to those sorts of skills, some don’t. Some people work at it. Some can’t. Everyone has to at least bathe though. That’s a metaphor, but also not.

Why do you need to be forced by society to develop social skills?

Social skills is another way of saying the abilities required to function in a society. You might as well ask why do you need to learn to swim to get in the pool.

Why isn’t putting your best forward enough?

Often it is, but to stretch the metaphor used above, they are going to be stuck in the shallow end.

hey! I resemble those remarks!

First thing that came to my mind when I saw the question ‘What is his life like?’

He dated Grace Jones

Usually the soap dispenser is above

Common in factories where lots of people need to wash their hands at the same time.

It’s not likely they would. The US did some fucked up stuff, but (in this case) didn’t try to hide it…

My brother loves his xterra so much he is on his 3rd (first was an accident, second went to the ex in the divorce). I rarely ride in it, but it seems kinda like a rattle trap to me. I dont know how much of that is his abuse and how much is the car.

Article title now reads: "Insurance company halts plan to put time limits on coverage for anesthesia during surgery "

Strange. I wonder why?

the pardon is for tax and gun charges, right? no drug charges?

at this point I don’t give a fuck, I just don’t want to hear the words “democrat” and “strategist” in the same sentence anymore.

Lol

I’m not a programmer but I have at least one double booking every day. Some weeks look like a brick wall sideways (they seem to always overlap by a half hour for some reason).

that would make someone a real bastard…

I have to admit, even while finding the crooked corners of the internet with rotten and CJ, I did hold onto the belief that access to information was going to lift the masses up out of ignorance. I knew about flamewars since the BBS days. I knew about trolls since rm -rf advice was given. I, in my naivete, seriously underestimated the effects of these phenomenon on society writ large.

its really not. they would have also had to sunk in the door to make the molding the same thickness. its more work, but not that hard with a hollow door. Probably less work than what they would have had to do to the top of the door that actually functions

Ive done it as a cure to a cold. its not great. I will eat toom by the bucketful though

Naturally! Then add another clove for good luck. Plus those two cloves look small, better add another.

They fundamentally solve the Topo-Naming-Problem I propose to try again after the next release.

Are they settled on an assembly workbench yet?
