The site you linked to about how most burglars know to check the freezer is a kick. The mainpage is straight out of the nineties, and it's covered with new-age-y spiritualism

Yeah the CSM is actually quite respectable

Individual agents are normal people, who I'm sure are a mix of nice people and less-than-nice people, like any other customer service job. It's just the system they enforce that we hate...

I know I missed the call for contenders and all that, and I'm not sure if this is specifically what the subject is, but let me just throw a vote for newsmap.jp in. It's a flash graphic that displays the biggest stories of the day in a bunch of categories in treemap form. It's great for catching up on the news of the…

I like you

Why am I an asshole in a city? Because I have faster internet than you?

Huh, I had a cat for fourteen or fifteen years (we were never quite sure how old he was; he was a shelter cat) living right in the middle of San Francisco and we let him come and go as he pleased. There were parks nearby, and a back alley behind the house with wildlife and rats and things, and I'd like to think he…

If you have your privacy settings set to not allow people you don't know to view all your stuff, specifically status updates, wall posts, and tagged photos, I don't see how there's a problem

As a freshman starting college in eleven days, I just want to say THANK YOU ALL. This has given me a lot to ponder.

Man, those mission bars are killer

VOTE: windirstat for windows

Can we get some numbers on that? I realize there's inevitable overhead and problems with aid distribution in third world countries, but I find a blanket statement like that hard to believe....

You may not believe it, but at least once it's happened with one of those tags on a piece of clothing, and once on a box of razor blades I forgot that were encased in a big plastic safety box (I eventually just brought it outside and stomped on it till it opened...)

This has always been my dad's view of books. He and I are both voracious readers, and I have a tendency to try to hang on to anything while he has a house full of books, but not many of the most common ones. He doesn't have anything that's a classic or best-seller unless it's signed or sentimental, because you can…

I dunno if they need to, considering people are begging for invites and they had to shut down accepting invitations for a while...

I enjoy you, sir
