I haven't had reliable access to flickr at work in months. 10 minutes to load a picture? Yeah, forget it. It's faster at home on dialup. It's freaky. I'm going to blame yahoo somehow because the timeline of acquisition/merge roughly coincided and I just generally have a hateon for yahoo because of their penchant to use ads that make my (admittedly feeble) work browser blow up.

It's probably a coincidence. And someone else's fault entirely.

France has said it plans to offer incentives to more immigrants - especially those from Africa - to return home voluntarily.

The cheese-eating surrender monkeys want take-backs? Way to be, France. Way to be.

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

I'm going to take some whiteboards and cubicle walls and build a fort, where I shall hide and take a nap.

Who's with me?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Maybe we could Nilly the links to everyone's StripCreator account. Also, If everyone created an account under their Buffista name, we could access anybody's comics from www dot stripcreator dot com slash comics slash username

Golfer dies after cart plunges off cliff

FALLBROOK, Calif. - A golfer died Tuesday after his golf cart plunged 75 feet off a cliff and crashed onto a road below, authorities said.

...

The vehicle veered off the concrete pathway, traveled down a 25-foot embankment and went over the edge of the cliff, California Highway Patrol spokesman Tom Kerns said.

In general, over the range of tasks measured, where a gender performed better in a task heterosexuals of that gender tended to perform better than non-heterosexuals. When a particular gender was poorer at a task homosexual and bisexual people tended to perform better than heterosexual members of that gender.

That actually makes sense, and is a big plus in the column that says sexual orientation is a matter of how your body/brain are put together, not of preference.

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

The yahoo merger with flickr gives me a hateon too. I tried all the variations of my name, including repetition, middle name, surname and found quite a few yahoo accounts to which I remembered the password, but none of them were linked to the ita_ita_ita flickr account.
