I'm the only one in our family who's main concern is "hummm, if I turn on the microwave am I gonna blow the fuse?"
But that's okay because you'll always have a generator and big extension cords laying around, just like Jimmy Cooper on The OC !

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Heh. HST wanted his ashes shot from a mortar, just like Sarah Vowell's dad. (Who I presume is not yet of the deceased variety).

If they really wanted to try population control, they wouldn't have gone after the tiger at all.
There's a new book out contending that predation played a much larger role in human evolution than has been acknowledged--that many of our distinctly human characteristics evolved first to deal with predators and then were used for other purposes. The book argues that schalrs have neglected these effects because we don't have any consistent predators any more.
Tigers are part of the argument. It seems that the British kept careful records of tiger attacks in India and during the 19th century and average of eight people a day were killed by tigers there. Our place at the top of the food chain is recent.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
The whole world* just got super annoying.
I hate it when that happens.
- except for us of course

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
No. Your hate killed the thread.
In cheerier news, a cute guy stuck his tongue out at me today.

Right coasties are watching Lost or other stuff.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Your hate killed the thread.
Hate leads to suffering.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
So, I figure i do 60K worth of work a year. I make 42-43K depending on bonuses that seem to come right before I'm about to quit.
So if I divide one number into the other, I get .7
Now, if I multiply .7 by 5, I get 3.5
Is that the number of hours that I should sit on my ass and do nothing until they catch up to what I should be making, or the number of days I should sit on my ass and do nothing until they catch up to what I should be making.
