    Root beer bottle caps is best bottle caps. And yeah, I ate a shitload of Runts growing up. Gobstoppers were awesome too.

    Out of curiosity, where do you measure your quads anyways? I was curious tonight, I'm about 19" a few inches above the knee cap, and 23" mid thigh. What's the proper measurement?

    He personally guaranteed a couple loans at the very end to try to keep things running. I've seen it mentioned as being anywhere from 4-8 million. That's over and above the approximately 50 million he sunk in to it previously.

    How often do you get email meant for someone else?

    Hasn't happened to me too often. My bro had a doozie though. He got some email from a partner or principal in a law firm, who was attempting to forward it to one of his colleagues in the firm that shared my bro's first name. The kicker was that the email string was about one of the junior...

    Adventures with Corndog: Corndog's Fish Store

    I'm so glad that a) construction companies are specifically exempt from any notice requirements for construction workers in Alberta and b) Employment Insurance in Canada is a straight tax, with no means testing, penalties, surcharges or whatever you want to call them. Your employment record is...

    Still hovering around where I've been for years. I don't really have any excuse, other than I'm busy as fuck at work and lazy as fuck when it comes to exercise. The good news is that I'm not getting worse either! We'll see where I sit by the end of summer, have a bunch of hiking and mountain...

    SimCity

    The sad thing is that from EA's corporate perspective, the game is likely considered a huge success. They sold a few million copies at minimum, by all accounts. So we probably can't expect them to have learned a fucking thing.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    The political system there is completely broken, is why it's broke. California is a great example of how direct democracy doesn't work worth a shit.

    Yeah, our work email is through Google Apps. Actually, can I use Exchange for my contacts then I wonder? I need to get some IT guys in here to figure that shit out for me.

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    The topic was more on the political side of things though, relative to the rest of the country in which the state/province resides. In which case either BC or Quebec would be the California equivalent. BC because it's full of hippy weirdos, or Quebec because it will be bankrupt sooner or later.

    Contact management between Outlook and Google/Android has been the one thing with moving to Nexus devices that I haven't been able to pin down well. Before with a Blackberry I just used BB's software to sync between my phone and my home/office computers, and all three were perfect. I haven't...

    Supposedly he was actually 5'10". Which makes sense, because someone here posted a pic of him and Sylvester Stallone awhile back and Sly only looked a few inches shorter, and he's supposedly only 5'7" or 8".

    Not really, at least as far as 24" goes: 24" 16:10 - 20.35" x 12.72" = ~260 square inches 27" 16:9 - 23.49" x 13.22" = ~310 square inches 29" 21:9 - 26.49" x 11.17" = ~295 square inches I don't think I'd want to give up the full inch and a half on the height vs. a 24"

    Read about SpaceX's plans and goals with reusable rockets here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SpaceX_...unching_system Basically they're trying to do what NASA tried and failed to do with the Space Shuttle. One quote that kind of addresses what Tuco was talking about: Kind of neat, to say...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    I'd say if anything families who send their kids to private schools around here are looked down upon. It's not really socially acceptable, unless you want to be labeled a bunch of high society snots. Of course there's always room for improvement, but on balance our primary and secondary...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I would assume that either the main engines can swivel, and/or there's secondary engines/nozzles that stabilize. Or more likely, a combination of the two. It's SpaceX, so I don't imagine they're doing it just for funzies. While it might limit the payloads it's able to deliver, that might well be...

    That's pretty interesting. Although it's a bit deceptive, as it has less screen area than a 27" 16:9 monitor, and not a whole lot more than a 24" 16:10. I think I'd probably go with a 27" were I to upgrade my 24" Dell.

    Mavi are really good jeans IMO, a couple pairs of them have been my favorite jeans in the past few years. I think they're Turkish or something like that. They're not ridiculously expensive, seem to be of reasonable quality, and don't tend to go the direction of other brands with fading and ugly...

    Keep in mind though, this place supposedly wasn't an actual "plant", just a distribution facility. Whether that means much I have no idea.

    It didn't explode quickly though, that's just the outside view. They'd been circling the bowl for months before they imploded. You can last months when you stop paying your bills, until the house of cards collapses all at once. Don't forget they let their employees keep showing up for work for 3...

    Fertilizer plant explodes in West, Texas

    That makes sense I guess, but perhaps is more applicable to very large operations. By all accounts the place that blew up was fairly small time. They apparently couldn't handle routine paperwork, let alone running their own fire fighting department.

    For me it would all be strategy type games: Civ (various) SimCity (various, but not most recent!) Total War: Medieval 2 Railroad Tycoon (various) Just Cause 2 (if only cause I paid nothing for it, and got a good 30-40 hours) Supreme Commander/Total Annihilation series

    I did read the article, what about it is misleading in the context of my post? I wasn't insinuating that it is the DHS's responsibility to inform fire departments of dangerous industrial operations in their area. I frankly don't know the mechanics of how a fire department would go about...
