Here's an angle to this story I don't want to contemplate. Who else also got stabbed by that little nail, said ow, and went on with their day, and what infectious disease might they have had that contaminated it.

That last bit about not providing free water might actually be a plumbing code violation. Plumbing codes generally require either a drinking fountain or free bottled water be available to both employees and customers of any type of business. Around here, you don't get an occupancy permit until an inspector confirms…

Herpes?

Joe Nickel talks about a hotel that marketed as being haunted. Guests reported strange occurrences there. Then it sold and the new owners didn't want to play up the haunted angle. Guess what... guests no longer reported anything at all unusual. When the owner decided to start the ghost marketing again, people…

What kind of rural area with barns has neighbors close enough together to complain about the noise? I thought the objection was going to be parked cars blocking narrow gravel roads., which has been my experience at a couple of barn weddings.

My dad hates tattoos. One of his granddaughters got one and came to Thanksgiving with it showing. He politely asked her about it and she said it was a reminder of her deceased grandmother (other side of family). He told her before he died he'd make sure to give her a picture of himself.

Good point. They'll need to legislate a mandatory pelvic exam before you're eligible for health insurance.

I felt the same way. Those calves of hers are insane (in a good way), but there's a big difference between those and these. My assumption would be that the smoother shape is more common.

Did you notice that as of Thursday, if you're a plexpass member, support for trailers and extras has been added? You don't even have to add them yourself, although you can if you want to. They stream from elsewhere. After updating the server and refreshing the library, the movie "Jobs" shows up now with a trailer…

I reject your notion that potato salad is unhealthy, unless it's the kind with lots of mustard.

I think you're absolutely right. Religious republicans will believe that God creates the soul at conception. I don't believe in the soul, so I think abortion should be available up until a fetus is capable of surviving outside the womb without machines. I also struggle with even that though, because I also think…

So was Kathryn Lehman's change of heart due to a moral epiphany, or was it that the money moved and she's still chasing it?

"What obstacles impede your progress?" Easy answer for me in architectural engineering. It's always the client thinking the building code doesn't apply to him. As of this morning, "I'm just a little diner. Why should I have to follow the same rules as a big chain like Applebee's? Fuck that! I won't do it."

I'm running it on Ubuntu 14.04 on a 5 year old Dell laptop with 1GB RAM that I bought for $50 from my girlfriend's workplace when they were selling retired computers. It's serving a large collection of movies to a couple of Roku's and it's working just fine even using real-time transcoding and inserting subtitles. I…

I'm there with you. I started out with XBMC on an original xbox, then decided to move it to a little Acer nettop, which couldn't handle the load either. Then languished until finally discovering Plex about 2 years ago. There's just always something in these open source things that seems to get overlooked despite…

Seems to be pretty common. I had a girlfriend once who said if I ever called it "making love", we wouldn't be.

I never quite got the transition from the first Mad Max to the rest of the franchise. In Thunderdome we hear teenagers reciting a story of how the world had been as if it's legend, yet only 6 years earlier, Max's wife had bought ice cream cones at a store while he was having a flat repaired.

Here in the US we do this with a bumper sticker. Their method is equally effective, but much more entertaining.

I liked 9 1/2 Weeks better than 9 1/5 Weeks which just kind of derivative. That ice cube scene.

I've wondered that too. I think he's too young for it to be the lump in his wallet they find attractive. The know-what-I'm-sayin' doofus in "We're the Millers" made me think of Bieber.
