If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Drew and Sean, that was really interesting.

I have no idea what this frog thing is about.

All is well that ends in pizza.

My mirror door G4 is toast. The power button blips when I press it, but that's it.

I have done all the usual: reseated cables, tried without cards and components, and nada. I suspect the power supply.

Typing this from my old iBook G3 with the failing, grinding hard drive.

Maybe I can find a casing or cheap G5 on craigslist.

Argh.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Have you tried swapping out the frogs?

(sorry)

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I got my HDTV and receiver in 2006. My TV has been slowly dying, with a splotch on the screen that's been slowly growing. And now my receiver is dying, too. I'm a little pissed that this stuff only lasted four years.

A while ago someone was asking about this, but I'm not sure if it was this thread or Natter or Bitches - anyone remember?

Gmail Lets Your Unthread Your Email for a More Traditional Conversation View

eta:

Gmail updated today with a new option that allows users to turn off its trademark threaded conversation view for a more traditional email inbox.

We love Gmail specifically because of how it threads conversation into an easy to track flow, but some people still prefer the classic river or RE: to threaded conversations. Previously, that meant you either used Gmail with a desktop client or didn't use it at all. Now all you need to do is head to your Gmail settings, find the section labeled Conversation View, turn it off, and save your settings.

"Gmail with a desktop client" is what someone recommended to the person asking about this.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

All of a sudden, I want an eReader. A Nook is a rational choice, right? I'm fairly sure I don't want an iPad, since I'm good with the space between my phone and my Macbook.

I don't know. Why are you leaning towards a Nook over a Kindle?

Because I don't shop from Amazon.
