  • My IE tabs frequently don't work. Like ever. If I am trying to open a new page, I need to open it on multiple tabs in the hopes that one of them works. And I'm not talking about complex pages. I'm talking about Google. Once one of them works, that tab will be okay. So I use Firefox.
  • That's what I was taught in high school. I remember it very specifically, my grammar teacher was very adamant about this point. But you know what. I'm going to look it up. It's entirely possible I was taught incorrectly. Edit: Found it. It's a subject of debate, actually. My point was the implied second clause that is…
  • No, it's smarter than I. In any comparison sentence using the conjunction "than", it is always I, not me. The whole sentence and idea is really "he is smarter than I (am smart)." We tend to say me more often, so to us it sounds right, but grammatically it is not.
  • I bought a new wok last night so I could cook some more. After I made a few things with it and cleaned it up, I found that it was already stained. Irritated, I muttered to myself, "wow, what a shitty wok". I then giggled at my accidental reference.
  • World of Warcraft with an expat guild. Fun times.
  • Well balls. It seems some other landlords in my building commissioned another construction project or two to begin after the New Year. It's not terribly bad yet, but I was enjoying several months of peace and quiet that are most likely coming to an end.
  • So... how do you say 2010? Two thousand ten? Twenty ten? Two zero one zero? Two aught ten?
  • This brings back memories.
  • It's pretty much the way we left things in 2009. So far this future is sadly insufficient. And no flying cars, wtf.
  • i wuvs you all
  • One of the people in my department hasn't done it for 3 months! I'm not the worst one here. Awesome. Edit: I am finished! Happy day!
  • What an adventure! Glad to know everything's alright and your sister's visit didn't herald the death of somebody in your building!
  • Since the New Year is a strong reminder of how goddamn old we are, let's do nostalgia icons that remind us of when the world didn't suck so hard.
  • I have to fill out a two month backlog of daily reports. We have a task tracking system that all departments use to measure project progress. While it works well for client teams, it isn't well suited for internal operations (given that I've gone two months without doing it and nobody's said a word). Either way, I need to…
  • I think that would be difficult with a large group of people, especially with me. I would do a lot of the talking, considering my voice is like audible chocolate.
  • I think it's a dangerous slippery slope. It's only a matter of time before somebody tries to cybernetically augment their zombie servants. Then what do you get? Zomborgs. And now we're all fucked.
  • I probably take a little more offense to this than most, specifically because I am an American living abroad. Just because you can do something, doesn't mean that you necessarily should. There have been too many Americans getting their asses in trouble for being either irresponsible or just plain stupid (John Yettaw going…
  • Why should the government have any say into how our economy runs? Let it be governed by market forces and let the people decide what to do with zombies. Some enterprising entrepreneurs will attempt to get zombies to work at low level jobs. It's already been proven by science that if you hang a brain on a stick, then mount…
  • Damn it all, why are people so fucking stupid? Congratulations dipshit, you've set the US further back in negotiations with the most repressive and dangerous regime in the world. North Korea says it's holding American
  • I like it! However, I only have access to relatively popular stuff. If it's obscure, then there's a good chance I can't get to it here.
  • FACT: Lauren has been known to keep zombies as pets. She has divided interests, and can't be counted on to support us in our time of need! FACT: 4 out of 5 dentists agree, Adam is a raging dickwad.
  • I got a few miscellaneous Chinese toys and things from my coworkers, and a gingerbread man from my friends in Hong Kong. And I got a giant box of cookies from my grandma. That's it so far. But my parents are mailing me something soon. Edit: My post sounded like I was ungrateful, but I actually love my presents. I keep…
  • A challenge has been made! You must down burn Stone Ridge to the ground.
  • Well, I agree on my part, the WSJ thing is kinda funny.
  • Curb stomp for Jesus!
  • I am having increasing difficulty finding intelligently structured right-leaning commentary on social and political issues. I pride myself on trying to not be partisan. Part of not being partisan means reading well structured discourse from both sides of the debate. Even if I don't agree with certain opinions, I enjoy…
  • Way to go Lauren, you scared away another one!
  • It was still 40 while it snowed for most of the day, and the ground was too warm to allow the snow to collect. The snow should be completely gone by the end of today. Oh well, it was still pretty for a while.
  • It's snowing today! How very very strange here.
  • I definitely made the right choice. I logged back in to check on my guy. I'm still safe in the ransacked school, but the hospital I barricaded up to VSB is already ruined. This may be a decent survival strategy; barricade a hospital or police station and then hide somewhere else.
