@Lymed: Wonderful, it's codified into the FEHB that a "baby" can be "murdered" for the crime of its rapist or incestuous father.

Umm, isn't the point of a blog/magazine/newspaper to have a staff that reflects the population of its readers? Shouldn't a Sports mag hire journalists who enjoy sports? Should Top Gear hire one of those crazy Portland bicyclists who want all cars banned? Should a women's interest website fill half their staff with…

If you're looking for a bike mount for another media device (I currently have an old Archos 604 that I've adapted a bike mount for), but you can't find a case for it that will work, get a sheet of Kydex (a few bucks for an 8x11ish sheet). It's a thermoplastic that is often used for knife sheaths, gun holsters, etc. …

@lordargent: After taking a few years away from building PCs, I got back into realizing I was a complete noob again. It really sucked. I'd have to search around everywhere to figure out what worked with what and what kind of interfaces I needed now. I wasted a lot of time (but thankfully no money) trying to get…

@saintseminole: That's one of the things I do as well... Take the cost of the item (and accessories and taxes and shipping if applicable) and divide it by what I make per hour, after taxes. That usually keeps me from buying it. Also makes me depressed.

@thebuffster: Agreed, being distracted and not seeing the readout constantly helps A LOT. I think the readouts hinder workouts more than they help at times.

My old treadmill had a nice little "shelf" under the display that my laptop could wedge its front edge into, so the screen stood at just about eye level. I could turn on movies or even, once I got a little bit more coordinated, type and use the touchpad while I was walking on it. It actually was a pretty effective…

@Etoiles: My wife went to Smith and was assaulted one night by a drunk guy in Amherst when she intervened on him freaking out at his girlfriend. Campus police just berated her for being upset despite bruising and a nearly dislocated shoulder from when the guy threw her out of the way, and drove her back to…

@Scout: Clearly you haven't seen these:

@zmnatz: I have a wireless mouse that I love, but the connection was pretty dodgy, and the battery wore down much faster as a result. I didn't want the receiver out on my desk as it defeated the purpose... So I grabbed some adhesive velcro and mounted the receiver under the desk surface directly where I did most of…

@tonightineed is actually Mrs. Ziegler-Spock: You don't know how excited I was to see Nat show up in the comments here. I've almost posted her videos more times than I can count but I always stop myself because I worry people will be like "wtf?"

@vgnvxn: I wish I could say she escaped without injury. She did from that particular incident, but a few months later he was arrested again for DV, for grabbing, slapping and interfering with her 911 call. He plead out to, I think, 2 years probation and some community service, as well as a 180 day protection-order…

@thequeenofstartingover: I think that'd end up being a great place for him to scout his next victim. It's no mistake that abusers often primarily date women with abusive pasts, just how pedophiles will often target children who have already been abused or live in a tumultuous home environment.

@vgnvxn: A former friend of mine drove off in his car with his wife halfway hanging out of the back seat while trying to reach in and take her purse back from him. He stopped, she attempted to grab it again, and he began driving again. Five witnesses, including an off-duty EMT. His wife didn't receive any physical…

Did PUMAs really exist outside of upper level political activists/operatives? I knew a lot of HRC supporters in the primary, my wife and I were big supporters of her ourselves, but when Obama won the nomination, not one HRC support I knew let their support swing to McCain. There was a little reluctance to support…

I just bought a new cast iron pan last night. $9.95 for a nice 12", makes me wonder why I dropped $170 for a non-stick Calphalon set a while back.

@AmphetamineCrown: Underlining the cheapness, I just picked up a beautiful 12" heavy-as-hell cast iron pan for $9.95. I got a 5-pan set of Calphalon non-stick pans for like $170 a couple years ago, and they're showing a little bit of age.

Oh autohotkey, is there nothing you can't do? <3
