River ,'Objects In Space'
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.
Does anyone remember- a long, long, long time ago- an article that was posted here about the negative effects that a formal user rating structure could have on an on-line community (The kind of rating system where every user can give a comment a thumbs up or thumbs down).
I remember that! But not in any more detail than that. I think there was some jargon for what that kind of system is called, which if someone knew the term would help you get to the article...
Amusing side-note: when I was studying German in college, one of the students forgot the pronunciation rules for the IE/EI dipthongs, and instead of "to shoot" - shiessen - said "to shit" - shiessen. Frau Janess was MOST outraged.
Wait, are those meant to be spelled the same?

I don't know if it's the same thing but the whole new comments thing on Jezebel et. al has been getting on my last nerve. On the other hand, I don't waste as much time there now!
There's a Qdoba near my new office. Well you still have to get in a car to drive there. That's the most annoying part about being in the 'burbs.
said "to shit" - shiessen.
I think this would be "sheissen"?
The corn salsa is the only one I'll eat at Chipotle. But I have a thing about chunk tomato -- your salsa may vary.

Yes. Way to ruin the punchline of a joke, SH.
I should stop reading b.org and actually work.

100 Things Your Kids May Never Know About
Shopping only during the day, Monday to Saturday.
That wasn't even true when I was growing up.
I have a tow truck coming tomorrow. All I have to do is take of the plates and leave the keys in the glove compartment, and mail in my title and donation form.
I had a moment of, "You want me to leave the car unlocked with the keys inside? What if someone steals it?!" Of course, then I realized that it would be somewhat difficult for anyone to steal a car that doesn't run.
The last car I donated was the '92 Tempo 5sp with 205,000 miles. It was perfectly drivable, but I literally couldn't give it away. I wonder how long it would have taken to get stolen if I left it someplace unlocked with the keys in it. It would probably still be there today.
