A sliding glass door... beyond that a deck with some flower beds. :-(

I'm fairly certain that isn't the case - schools still have to get permission to give kids prescription medicine or seek complex medical treatment (the sort of thing guardians can authorize). Though I imagine they have some kind of intermediary status between that of an actual guardian and a total stranger. Still,…

Being able to recite books from memory is still possible, it's just not necessary. Instead, we utilize the time and effort that would take on other things - like gaining specialized skills in math and science that let us build god damn spaceships and design medicines molecule by molecule. As we develop technology that…

Questioning a minor without a legal guardian's consent or presence is illegal.

Because above a certain altitude things just stop decomposing... which is also why the trail is kind of littered with human corpses (not on the trail, but parts of it just off the trail, like the Rainbow Valley, so called for the various colorful jackets of the dead who rest there within sight of the trail).

Awesome. That's the one I was thinking of. Now do you know the comic where Wally takes his paid time off in 15 minute segments whenever anyone asks him to do work?

Yeah, but usually when planning an emergency kit, one assumes access to convenient shopping will be limited. So stock up on oil and lamps, learn to shoot a bow and arrow...

Sure, that seems totally doable. You just lay face down on a bed while a woman sticks a dildo in your ass, get a third person to take a picture, then upload it to facebook. Let us know how that works out for you!

Sure. Bacon fat, some chunks of bacon if you're into it, some vanilla ice cream and you got yourself a bacon milkshake.

What which is officially called? The laying down game, or pegging?

You know that bottle of olive oil in your cupboard? Same thing. Egyptians used olive oil to light lamps for hundreds of years, and it has the benefit of already being in a bottle and not requiring you to cook anything.

Wicks and oil are easier to replace in a post-apocalyptic dystopian universe.

At first I was like, "isn't that where a girl puts a dildo into a guy's ass?" and then I read the article and saw the pictures and I was like, "oh... that's... weird." Not at all like pegging.

Yeah, but the internet makes people generally more rude.. insert cartoon here. You know the one. Reasonable person + internet = screaming douchebag.

Yeah, though it puts one at the mercy of the curiosity and interest of other people who use their library... students at the U of Chicago might be okay, but the FSU students will find "The Book of Beer Pong" associated with every text in the library.

They just need to add a social networking aspect to your library searches. Like Amazon's "other customers who bought this," or something. Make my library social!

I'm sorry, Jimmy, but as Mark Twain said, "The difference between the right word and the almost-right word is really a large matter - it's the difference between the lightning-bug and the lightning." If the right word is complex, then you use a complex word (and, apparently, you consider more than two syllables to be…

Don't worry, Jimmy. Having difficulty interpreting the emotional state of others is probably a result of you not being a native English speaker. I can understand how you would think I was upset given that you didn't understand the meaning of a common phrase yesterday, and thought it meant I was afraid. I'm told…

So the iCal sync seems to be one way - it pulls my Google Calendar info, but doesn't upload any of my iCal appointments. That's not very useful... I have this handy bill reminder program that tracks my monthly expenses (and does pretty graphs and what not of how much I spent and when and on what) and it puts reminders…

PowerAMP will play ALAC files on Android... though I don't know how good it is as a media player otherwise. But, at least it solves your format problem.
