Hey, physics type people. Can anyone explain how this works? [link] It's really puzzling me. (As is the horrible ad copy, but that's another story.) I can understand how you could set a compass to always point, say, northeast, or whatever, but how do you make one always point to a particular place other than one of the poles?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
Quester, at least Matt's character is Matt.
This helps...a little.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Kalshane, I stopped taking Avelox halfway through. I know, not supposed to do that, but I'm convinced the stuff was causing muscle pain and weakness, which scared me. It didn't help with the cough, either. No more taking quinolone antibiotics.
I didn't notice any of that. However, I did see the warnings on the label about causing drowsiness and dizziness and promptly decided it was a right before bedtime sort of medication. I had really funky dreams and some restless nights, but nothing resembling side effects during the rest of the day.

If Claire's creepy father is "Horned Rim Glasses Man" he's played by Jack Coleman, according to Wikipedia.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Hee. I looked at the terror code and thought "But wait, you're assigning, and the expression is true by default."
Oh, hey! That's the point.

Oh, Kristen, is that Soap talk?
Good morning all.

Timelies, Kat.
We just had our clocks moved an hour backwards on Saturday night. Calculating other people's timezones is even more complicated now for my poor little head (why, yes, it's still aching from the no-drinking-for-25-hours of the fast). The easiest way to do it is wait until somebody posts and see the time-stamp on the post. However, I can't recommend it to everybody, right?
[Edit: and being wrapped up in holidays, I missed mentioning MFNlaw & her DH's anniversary two days ago, so belated wishes for them!]

morning Kat and Nilly.
Nilly, this means you are 6 hours ahead now, yes? It's 1:30 for you right now?

Yup.
Hmm, do you wanna do some other work for me, too, now, since you have such a better brain than mine?
