Is that on Netflix? Because I would totally watch that.

There was a fancy golf course in our town that didn't admit women. Private club, legally they can do what they want. An absolutely hilarious interview exists with a sweet young lady from the local news interviewing the 70 year old dinosaur president of the club. She implies in the broadest terms that the club is for gay men only, (In this day and age you guys don't have to pretend any more.....You are a bunch of men who don't like the company of women, we get that.......It's ok, no one is going to judge you... etc) The old guy absolutely doesn't pick up on it and looks like a total fool. Eventually the younger club members outvoted the old farts and change the policy to admit women. (Probably rich white women only, but you know.... baby steps..)

I can't wait to sign up. Finally a facebook for our sort of people. Do you think $9000 will be enough to keep the common riff raff out?

My driver said the funniest thing yesterday....

Wow, you are right. Life would be a black joyless void of suffering if we drank water when we were thirsty. (OK, reflex sarcasm satisfied).

We aren't talking about "now and then" we are talking about habitual daily consumption of empty calories from sweetened drinks.

Apple pie is +/- 350 calories per slice. Depends on how big the slice is of course. Add a scoop of ice cream and you are near 600 calories. An occasional piece of pie is a fine thing. A slice with every meal, day in, day out not so good.

I'm thinking of one of my co-workers who drank 2 or 3 mid-sized bottles of soda (20 oz?) during the workday plus a tall cup (32 oz?) with lunch. He was packing in about 1000 calories just in soft drinks every day. He was asked (not by me, I've learned better) why he didn't drink water. He acted all hurt and defensive, like he was being criticized for his choices, and as though his obesity was somehow his fault. He liked sugary drinks and he felt entitled to drink them. It just didn't occur to him that there was any negative consequences to his choices, or that if there were any it would be his fault.

I know this is going to sound crazy, but instead of drinking diet soda or regular sugar sweetened soda, why not drink water?

I'm curious. Where do you live, that you can buy a house for $80k? Around here $80k might not qualify as the down-payment on a house.

or the "War on Terror" or the "War on Poverty".

You put a low price on an item, but had no real intention of selling at that price. A customer wanted to purchase the items at the price you offered, but at that point you refused to sell.

How is this even legal?

I think the rule used to be up to 1/8 black (Octoroon) is still black. This may not be current practice. I think almost all "black" Americans are actually mixed race. (Notwithstanding recent immigrants). Maybe it's a "self-identification" thing? Not sure why it should matter.

Too true. People believe, because they were taught to believe, from an early age by people they trust. The vast majority of Christians (insert religion of your choice here) are Christian by an accident of birth. They are Christian because they had Christian parents. Had they been born in Mumbai, to Hindu parents, they would be Hindus.

If you want a good laugh ask a Christian why they believe in God and Jesus and the Holy spirit, but not in Zeus or Odin or Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. If you get anything other than circular logic or "because" let me know.

I must be doing facebook all wrong. I don't ever recall seeing ads. If I could get my sister in law to stop posting "It's not the breaths you take, it's the moments that take your breath away" type crap twice a day it wouldn't be too bad.

Must be a different Lotus Notes than the one I had to use back in the 90s. That one had a an actively user-hostile interface. It actually looked for ways to break your heart and spirit and make you cry. It was forged from pure evil. Shat from the very buttocks of Satan. Well, anyhow, it wasn't very good.

Work has recently added Lync to our standard MS environment. It's far from perfect, but we now have integrated everything. I do mean everything. We get IM/VOIP telephony/email/shared calendar/book rooms and meetings/desktop sharing/n-way calls/webcam video conferencing/etc, all in one package.

Is there any open source equivalent that has all these features? Because that is what MS is bringing to the fight.

Sorry. Wrong.

Nuclear has by far the lowest deathprint.
