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.
I was in the bookstore and saw two books (of note - they had more than two books, just in case anyone decided to get literal on me) - "Knit Your Own Dog" next to "Knit Your Own Royal Wedding". They also had "The Joy of Sox".
(this is the craft thread, right?)
The one thing I don't understand is how these doomsday "christians" can say they can accurately know when the world is going to end based on a lot of vague stuff when Jesus explicitly says "No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son,f but only the Father. " and there's some more after that.
If Campling believes the Bible is the literal truth then he believes what Jesus is saying here. And it looks like he's claiming to know what only God can know...which seems kind of blasphemous to me. i mean, if you believe in all of this.
6pm on May 21st I plan to be watching Doctor Who, so it will be no surprise to me when the end of the world is averted at the last minute.
A few weeks ago I saw a small caravan of what I can only think to call "Rapturemobiles" driving through my neighborhood. They were wrapped with "THE END IS COMING! REJOICE!" decals with May 21st printed all over, and loudspeakers (thankfully not in use) mounted on top. Somebody's gonna have a hell of a time reselling those on May 22nd...

If there's one thing the Doctor has taught me, it's that the end of the world doesn't have to be the end of the world.
On May 21st, we need a rapture watch-n-post.
"I'm being raptured! Wait, that was just gas."
I just found the chain of websites that tells you what's at each exit and where the service plazas are for every highway on my Canada route. Good lord I love maps.
[ooooh, and I can use Google Streetview to see what foof chains are at each one! I am a happy happy nerd.]
Question for the HR hivemind:
I have to answer a specific set of follow-up questions to an initial job inquiry. It will be in an email directed to a specific person at the company (not an HR person, likely my future boss). What does one put for: "What is your current salary and expectations?" Is there a good non-answer? (Note: If I put a down a figure for current salary, I will not lie).
Jess, do you have this app already?
megan, not an HR person, but that question is included on the form people have to fill out for my University: If you don't think you can skip it altogether (that's what I tell people to do applying here - it doesn't affect whether we interview anyone) then I would say something like, "people in my current position are compensated in the following range using the broadest definition you can. (e.g. a reference librarian at my place makes anywhere from 30K - 80K) Likewise, I'd give a range for the expectations based on some research.
