the couch to 5k podcast? Paul has been doing that ...

Just did the 5k run at the end of this program. Feelin' pretty good about myself.

You're wrong, Caspian I'm really just making a general point, that the people who carry out orders are still morally responsible for what they are doing. If you believe that the TSA scans are wrong , rather than just inconvenient , then the people who are actually doing the scans share in the culpa...

Caspian

Lots of people wrote: workers who really are just doing their jobs I'm sorry, but this is baloney. I do have sympathy, and I fully recognize the very difficult position that TSA employees have been put in by this policy, but "I was just doing my job" is not an acceptable defence. When you...

Do you guys read Atomic Robo? Because you should. You really should.

In one issue he has a gun fight with a villain who claims to be a time-travelling dinosaur genius here to overthrow mammals. Nice!

Would he be willing to share his basic Italian recipe? There's really not much to it, and I don't actually use a recipe, but here's what you do, written out in lots of detail: Mix 1 cup of hot [eta: tap hot, not stove hot] water with 2 1/4 tsp of yeast, 1 tsp of salt, and 1 Tbsp of sugar, all in a ...

Wanted: People to read a draft of my grant proposal and not say anything good about it.

Seriously. Any takers?

Caspian

zeroguy, if you're actually interested in finding good comics to read, may I point you in the direction of my blog post on the subject?

un-American

What does that mean?

Also, for the record, I'm against gays in the military. And straights in the military. I'm against the military.

It has nothing to do (necessarily) with being attracted to someone else, but it's having another woman confidante instead of me.

If it's not necessarily to do with being attracted, would it be any different/better if he had a male confidante instead of you? Why/why not?

Caspian

Though I understand that in this context you think it's not and I understand why you would think that it is not, "improvement" is a deeply subjective term.

"What brought you to Newfoundland?" (it was the only place that accepted me, okay? stop grilling me!)
"What is your thesis about?" (uh....)

I object to this entire poll on the grounds that Amish and Hawaiian are placed as a single option. They are way too different to be considered the same quilt, and it's clearly skewing the results.

What makes your marriage work?
I'd be interested in that, actually.

At least part of the couple must be awesome.

Caspian

Man Kijiji people are frustrating. If you decided you don't want what I'm selling, JUST LET ME KNOW so I can offer it to the next person in line. Don't just not show up. That is dickish. Don't be a dick.

Caspian

I agree with all five of those (agree that they are stupid, unfair, sexist, and expected of men, not agree that they are how things should be).

I don't like avocado!!

?!?!?!?!

Sure is quiet in here.

How come you keep posting your posts twice?

On the plus side, the mosquitoes were only moderate instead of deadly.

It seems like not so much a flying car as a driveable airplane.

Beach reading, eh? Okay then, here are my recommendations. Fiction: Anansi Boys by Neil Gaiman (The sons of the African god Anansi mourn their dead father) To Say Nothing of the Dog by Connie Willis (A man travels back to Victorian England to solve a mystery) Non-Fiction: Violence by Slavoj Zizek (T...

espresso is really nothing more than concentrated bitter coffee.

I'm not a coffee fan myself, but this leads me to suspect you've never had espresso made by someone who knows what they are doing. Espresso should not be bitter. It should be much less bitter than brewed drip coffee.

Gratio! Sentio param mox.

Caspian, quis editionem Wheelock habes?

Editionem tri habemus.

My original post was meant to be: I know EL speaks Latin, and I'm guessing Rei does too. I want to learn. I expect I will take a course when I get to Memorial University, but first I'd like to practice. Anyone want to practice with me? Thanks for the tips EL, I'll look over it all when Ginny isn't t...

Rei, ego habeo antiquae Wheelock, sed non dictionarium.

Obiter, placeo si libet mone me si erro, qui sciant.

Quoque, nunquam ego auditus "puto" ut insultare per antea.

Caspian

Ego scio Eaquae Legit fatur Latinus, et ego puto Rei quoque. Disco volo. Spero capiam a ordo ut ego adepto Memorial University, at primo volo exerceo.

Quisquam volo exerceo cum me?

Actually, while anecdotal evidence is not a reliable source for conclusions, an anecdote is sufficient to disprove an absolute claim. Not enough to reach a conclusion, but enough to invalidate one. When someone says "all women such and such" a single counterexample is enough to disprove th...

Your post uses the exact wording of the email classified as false on snopes.

We all know how that turns out, though.

No we don't.

1. There's a thread about fun internet games already. It's called Thank you Jan I had work to do . However, since it's currently on the fourth page, and doesn't have an obvious name, you can be forgiven for not noticing it. 2. Use the edit button instead of double posting. 3. Link to the real site, ...
