Comment I'm wondering if the location is correct? (Score 1) 86

I'm from Terre Haute, and the only coal plant just south of Terre Haute is the Merom Generating Station, which is still operational. There was a coal plant just north of town that was demolished 15 years or so; I'm wondering if that is what they are actually referring. That plant was converted to a gasified coal plant back in the mi-90's, I worked there during the construction of the coal gasification plant and shortly after it went online. I drive just east of the old site everyday going to work; it's just across the Wabash River.

My favorite character was the Jem-Hadar/Klingon woman. But you left out the episode where they all had to take a drama class to learn how to deal with their trauma with that overly chipper red-head from Discovery doing a 900+ year-old play. So bad. I did feel that the last two episodes finally were more Trekie that the rest of the series and less Star-Trek 90210.

I like this idea. I work in health care and our prescribers can prescribe medications electronically, but they have to do it through the electronic medical/health record to do so from the clients record. This is is then attached to the clients record with the prescribers information and sent to the pharmacy. So they can't just send prescriptions to the pharmacy to not real clients. So similar to how you've described it with the DEMS; it should be possible but that would restrict them from having the free access to the database, which I think is what they are wanting. For like the children or something.

Comment Mess with the data (Score 1) 132

I've wondered if there would be a good way to just mess with the data, like driving by one several times for no reason. Or if you know were several of them are finding a weird pattern to drive by a set of them. You know things to do while bored. Can't be illegal since you're not destroying property and you are just going about your business.

The one thing I haven't seen anyone else mention was the opening of the movie. I seem to remember somewhere, someone talking about how all Star Wars movies started, the black screen and the words "A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..." then either followed by the scroll for the trilogies, then above a planet. No opening credits, no actors names, or directors, just right into the movie. This is what I expect from all Star Wars movies, it gets me into that mind set. This started on a planet and later had an opening theme with all the names of people. It just felt wierd.

Where I live, Burger King is actually much slower that Taco Bell. They are across from each other and I can see the other drive thru while in one. Taco Bell will have several cars through in the time it takes to be acknowledged, have order taken, pay and receive the order from Taco Bell. McDonalds is slow as well, just no sense of urgency from the workers. I used to at McD's back in the early 90's and back then the managers wanted you to move quickly to get an order out.

Indiana went to DST several years ago (20 maybe?).. I don't know who liked it. Indiana also has counties in both eastern and central time zones. Most are in eastern, but several up north around Chicago, and then the south west tip of the state are central. I'm with another poster here, I don't care which time we stay on, just pick one!
