You should both assume that times given are local for the source. This being NASA and all...
Would that be Kennedy Space Center (ET), Johnson Space Center (CT), White Sands (MT), JPL (PT) or some other NASA office in another time zone?
Why would you let them do that?
As has been noted by others, kids are into repetition. I watched things like Star Wars, Clash of the Titans and Strange Brew ad nauseum. If they enjoy it and it's not offensive to me, they're welcome to watch it again.
Letting your kid watch the same goddamn movie in a loop is about as stimulating as letting them stare at a wall.
I agree. But watching the same movie once every Saturday becomes ad nauseum soon enough. And let's not forget that even if Dreamworks has given us some drivel, they also made Seabiscuit, a Best Picture nominee that my kids loved.
No disrespect intended, but seriously... Want remarkable children? Learn to tell your kids no.
None taken. As I said above, we mostly agree. Ask my kids if I know how to say no; these kids who also ask to watch Khan Academy and How It's Made, among other things.
I'm going to create my new product - The "Social Toilet"
Meh. It's been done. http://www.penny-arcade.com/comic/2008/4/23/
I also use the "Multiple Inboxes" Labs add-on that gives me a second "inbox" that is defined to display only "starred" items
That's exactly what I did. When I turned on Priority Inbox, it turned off the Multiple Inboxes, but now I have the equivalent of three inboxes -- Important & Unread, Starred, everything else. But the duplication is removed (previously, starred messages showed in both inboxes).
All my rules still work. but if something is also caught by Priority flag, it goes to the top. If I read it and don't archive it, it moves to Starred or Everything Else based on whether my filters had starred it in the first place.
Looks useful so far. We'll see. I may redo some of my star filters to flag for priority instead.
I can also see this working as part of a GTD system -- it's sort of Action, Follow Up and everything else. But not quite. Still needs some tweaking for that to work right.
The verb to drop has specific meaning w.r.t. databases.
There's an xkcd for that.
And imagine the teens' surprise and horror when they discover their parents aren't "sleeping" at all...
It's just Computrace.. Don't worry -- it will come back on its own.
An Ada exception is when a routine gets in trouble and says 'Beam me up, Scotty'.
