Sounds a lot like negative listening. Which, so far as I can tell, is practiced by 100% of people living in America. Including me. I'm blaming the unfiltered prescription meds lacing our municipal water supplies.

this is an excellent tip.

With just a bit of googling I found the Sweda HL25-B pen/highlighter combo: it comes with blue, black, and red ink as well as your choice of highlighter color (which you can trade out when you refill it). Having 3 inks does cut down on how long the red will last for you, but I guess you could swap out the blue and…

haha. just like my bio101 textbook, except I color coded.

what I was going to say. score 1 (very rare point) for the lefties!

I think I would rather the Navy teach me how to live off the ocean should I ever survive a shipwreck or a plane crash into the ocean. I would like to see them make the video "How to Live the 'Life of Pi'".

We have the exact opposite experience using our PS3. Netflix's "super HD" is blurred nearly all the time, and maybe 4 out of 10 times I will get a message that they are "having trouble accessing the episode" I've chosen when trying to stream something from the kids section. On Amazon, all their HD stuff looks great,…

Yeah, that's what I think too. I have zero experience with the Chinese business world, but I do work with Chinese college students in the states for a year abroad or to get an American degree with extra cache. All of them will say whatever they think you want them to say, no matter how untrue, and then go on and do…

I have a friend working for a textile company in the same situation. Although wearable fabrics are a more labor intensive industry, they have to spend so much sending people over to check on factories repeatedly throughout the year and reject poor quality work that they are looking into simply moving my friend over to…

I don't have a problem with unions, even UAW, trying to get into more factories. So what if they're "not wanted" by the workers as some commenters are saying? Aren't these same workers the tough men and women who work so hard to make America go 'round? Surely they can handle voting "NO" and don't need the rest of us…

sea cow!

exactly. I read this team thing was announced some time in 2011, so there would have been time to make a new program, but only just barely for a number of top competitors.

that's my question too.

And then baked it and took that picture?

Aw, I was just funning that it was good no one else had to listen to your singing. You took me back to my late late nights with BF3, playing with young Japanese men who liked to share their performances of popular American rap songs whenever they realized they were playing with an American.

I *still* think often about the MicroMachines racing game I played on the PS1. It was awsome. Not only were you in a tiny car, but you raced around rooms in a home, some of them rather wacky like the basement laboratory. I remember also that the course was outlined by small peas and carrots in the dining room and…

I can't tell from your short comment whether you think that's a negative or realize it's a positive. :)

Crab vs. 7 Layer dip was the only one I was a bit torn about. Until I noticed the parenthetical: "(Potted Crab)". ANYTIME the choice is between something and something else that is known as a potted meat, the potted meat loses. Ugh, potted meat. I remember when we were so poor that I was sent to school with potted…

Anyone have a good baba ganoush recipe? I've been asking a friend for hers for months, it's excellent, but remembering to email a recipe is the one thing she is a total flake about. I'd really like to make some of my own, and I just want a basic starter-level recipe, nothing too fancy my first time out.

this wasn't, by any chance, a sensitivity memo was it? cause that would be so perfect.
