Swedish Man Dies After Having Sex With Hornet’s Nest - IBTimes UK http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/article...
"To attempt to have intercourse with a hornet's nest is a very bad idea." Yes. Yes, it is. - Victor Ganata
"'I have never in my life seen such a swollen pelvic bone. It hid the whole package [and] the scrotum was enlarged. Right now it feels heavy and unreal.'" o_O — maybe I'm grossly misinterpreting this, but it sounds like the dude quoted found his neighbor dead after he tried to f- a hornet's nest, and the first thing he did was grab his penis and scrotum to feel how "heavy and unreal" they were? - Victor Ganata
Maybe he was holding the Hornets nest ? - Eric
I mean, he may just mean that finding his neighbor dead with a massively swollen penis and scrotum after he tried to f- a hornet's nest is "heavy and unreal" and he wasn't actually handling anything, but it is still a very weird juxtaposition. - Victor Ganata
I got nothin' - MoTO #TeamMonique from Android
WTF? How badly does one need to get off that fucking a hornet's nest seems the logical thing to do? Was there no bread loaf in his house that he could hollow out and lube up with mayo? How about a gourd or melon of some sort? Shit, even a big mushy pile of boiled noodles would be preferable to banging a LIVING HIVE OF ANGRY STINGING THINGS. - Hookuh Tinypants
um...nope, nothing. - Shannon - GlassMistress
I've said it before, and I'll say it again: Swedes... - Eivind from Android

So, I log in for the first time in a year, and this is the first post I see. Thanks for this. :) - Marty
Whut. - Steven Perez
We do keep it high toned in these parts. - MoTO #TeamMonique
We're classy as fuck. - Hookuh Tinypants
Marty, it's all hornet news all the time 'round here now. - Micah from FFHound(roid)!
Eivind, the Swedes are going to say the same thing you wrote above only the sentence ends in "Skåne". - Spidra Webster
"His body was found by a neighbour, who said Hasse was so swollen he initially mistook him for a whale carcass" - So... how often do whale carcasses wash up in Sweden for this to be the neighbor's first thought? - Ross Miller
Total Buzzzkill. - Eric from FFHound!
At least he died doing what he loved? - Victor Ganata from iPhone
He shouldn't have touched that with a 10 foot pole. - Eric - seven eleven
Or maybe he didn't die at all: http://friendfeed.com/dendroi... - John (bird whisperer)
Yeah, it sounded too over-the-top and I didn't think Int'l Bus Times was really that reliable a source, but I think, deep down inside, I probably wanted it to be true. - Victor Ganata
I seem to remember IBT falling for hoaxes before. - John (bird whisperer)

Amanda Berry rescuer Charles Ramsey is no typical hero, but hero nonetheless. - http://www.al.com/opinion...
Amanda Berry rescuer Charles Ramsey is no typical hero, but hero nonetheless.
A Cleveland police official giving an early-morning interview today said Amanda Berry's the real hero. Granted, Amanda Berry is a survivor, and it was heroic for her to take the opportunity to cry out for help. But if Charles Ramsey had choosen to keep walking – as so many of us do when we see trouble – then those women might still be in captivity today. He might not look the part, but at least three women and a 6-year-old girl are thankful he played the part. He's not Denzel or Snipes or The Rock. Charles Ramsey is a real hero. - Eric from Bookmarklet
Charles Ramsey is a HERO. Period. - AJ Batac
That guy is hilarious. Him saying that you know something is wrong when a young white girl runs into the arms of a black man is pretty much 4,000 pages of commentary of America distilled into a single sentence. - Akiva
Thank God he had the courage and opportunity to help. It's a crazy story and he absolutely is a Hero. - Eric
Akiva will be playing the role of Barry Wynn today. *dead* - MoTO #TeamMonique
I'M BLACK EVERYBODY!!! FINALY !!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Akiva
What do you mean, "finally?" - MoTO #TeamMonique

You can now get a daily or weekly email digest for anybody's feed on FriendFeed. You'll get a daily or weekly email with the most popular posts from that person's feed. To get the email, click the "Email/IM" link at the top of anyone's feed, and select the "Best of day" or "Best of week" email option.
Picture 11.png
You can see all of your email settings at http://friendfeed.com/setting... - Bret Taylor
Thanks Bret! :) - Matt Ruiz
Thanks to Kevin for doing a great design for what turned out to be a more complex set of UI options than we had originally anticipated, and thanks to Tudor for implementing the email backend. - Bret Taylor
Great! Thanks! Love FF! - Scott Monaco
I now get the FriendFeed Feedback posts as a Best of Day email so it doesn't fill up my feed, but I don't miss feedback. I also set up a "Best of Day" email for my "Technology people" friend list so I get a pretty good overview of tech news every day via email. - Bret Taylor
This is a really cool idea Bret, I wish you can make that an RSS feed option as well. I'd be much more likely to read summaries in RSS than in email. - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
Lovely. Thanks guys. - Mitchell Tsai
Casey: Thanks for the tip. What's the 7 before the "?" mean in the URL? The number of likes or replies needed to be included? - manielse (Mark Nielsen)
this is killer, the random influx of email during the day was kinda getting fail-ish. I love the daily digest. - Drew Lucas
Very cool! Any way to get archives of previous months? (especially helpful for those of us who leave the internet for weeks at a time...) - Mitchell Tsai
WOW. that's really helpful! - K.D.
Looks like a great addition for those who are not embedded on the site. Nice intro. - Louis Gray
Cool! - Josh Haley
Ahsan: it is somewhat random right now when the emails are sent, but we built in the backend capability to control what time they are sent, and we plan on exposing that control to users in the future. Right now, it is kind of random - sorry! - Bret Taylor
Cool! can i get a daily or weekly email digest for the "Saved searches"? - 0M0M from email
This will be incredibly useful. Thanks to all involved in the design and execution. - Kathy Fitch
Nice addition! - Michael Fidler
But what exactly is "Best"? Is it anything that has a certain number of likes/comments? - Laura Norvig
@Bret LOL THAT WAS MY PROJECT! I will release it tomorrow. But you've also did it and killed my friendfeed application **sigh** But mine has multi-reporting weekly-daily-monthly at the same time and adjustable entry count! - Alp
@Bret please consolidate me or I won't code new apps with you api! :-) - Alp
Alp: we were not trying to withhold data. Later today the documentation will be updated to reflect the ability to obtain "Best of" for users. The feed id will be USERNAME/summary/N (similar to "Best of" for lists) - Benjamin Golub
Hi Ben, that is pretty funny, I tried that URL earlier today to see if it has been secretly released :) - Paul Kinlan
Bret: While Twitter struggle to keep their fail whale under control, you guys are developing stuff like this. Amazing - Thanks! - Jim Connolly
awesome feature, this will be highly useful for my corporate group ideas / content sharing; projects, etc.... THANK YOU :) - Susan Beebe
Great work. I especially like that it works on lists too. - Meryn Stol
my inbox might say different, but I like that :-) - Dobromir Hadzhiev
Wow, this is really neat! And it links into the idea I expressed earlier, re: reducing signup friction / enabling limited guest privileges. Imagine if I could embed one of my FF rooms on my personal web site, and enable people to subscribe to that feed by e-mail with just a couple of clicks... rather than saying "you can get e-mail notifications but you have to sign up for Friendfeed first." "sign up" -- though admirably lightweight on FF -- is still a huge barrier. - Adam Lasnik
is there a love button cause I dont like this option I LOVE this option..great work guys - (jeff)isageek
Three options I would like (1) Can I select "top 100" instead of "top 30"? (2) Could I select both "best of day" and "best of week"? (3) How about older timeperiods? I'd love to get an e-mail with stuff from last week or Mar 2009? Start & end dates? Anything to help me read FriendFeed off-line would be great since I spend long periods off-line at festivals (especially during summer time) or overseas. - Awesome job guys! - Mitchell Tsai
So this works on groups too, cool! But we still cannot see Best of for groups on the site on friends lists. :-( I have several friends lists that include just groups and when I select to view the best of the page it's empty (even though if I got to the individual best of for those groups there are entries there). - Kol Tregaskes
does anyone know of a web service that can do this? (I'm thinking weekly email updates of my favorite feeds/people) I don't think there's anything like friendfeed .. - Franc, a rememberer
That's a cool feature - Xitong Liu
Emails no longer get sent except for Subscriptions. The last non-sub email I recieved was July 15th, 2011. - Jimminy IS Everybody
I still get them. - AJ Batac
I get these every day. - Me
i get it - solncee
I still get it - AJ Batac
*jealous* I no longer get anything but subscription emails. - Bruce Lewis

Five-year-old boy accidentally kills sister with his own rifle. - http://www.reuters.com/article...

What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now) - http://flickr.com/photos...
What is your FF Comments/Likes Ratio? (Comments divided by Likes to 2nd decimal place - as of now)
1.05 (670/633) - Micah from Bookmarklet
Can you remind me again where to find those stats? - Brian Johns
Brian, go to "Me" link (http://friendfeed.com/brianjo...) which defaults to the Feed tab. Look at the sidebar on the right, below Discussion. - Micah
0.75 (926/1226) - still relatively new here - mikepk
I only see my stats for the last week (17/14 = 1.21) Please tell me your 670 number is for more than just a week! - Brian Johns
1.44 (566/391) for brianjohns (after week tally you should see a comma then 'all time' count - I can see it on your page) - Micah
OK, sorry. I'm a total dumbass. I stopped reading after the weekly totals... - Brian Johns
3.74, which seems way off of everybody else's. I wonder what that says. I comment a lot more than I like. - Cyrus Lendvay
FFers use FF with their own strategy or simply default tendencies. The ratio is an interesting snapshot of behaviour. Thanks for joining in everyone, hope more keep flowing in. - Micah from twhirl
0.79 - Brian Roy
0.77 - Shey
0.76 - FFing Enigma
1.39. - Rochelle
1.61 - I only 'like' when I want to throw my support behind a topic but don't have anything constructive to add. - Bjorn Stromberg
1.12 - Tinfoil 2.0
5.08 (3181/626) ! - ◄ani625Ξ ಠ_ಠ
0.66 - I tend to 'like' things without needing to comment further, I guess, and I notice I usually like the things upon which I comment. Well, frequently. - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
.39 (2457/6242) I guess I don't comment much. I do 'like' a lot of things, it would seem. - Bren
0.62 then again i have over 11,000 comments - Cee Bee
1.23 (5287/4229) - I am put to shame by Cee Bee's participation, good grief! - Lindsay

yes, thanks for the correction. lindsay, you're making me feel bad. lol - Cee Bee

1.55 endlessly repeating. This Like/Comment included. - Dana D
before this comment: .69 I kid you not. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
So far: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81 ... (if you average 1 comment per like, you'd be 1.0 ... if you're 0.xx you might herd content more than discuss ... if you're whole numbers above 1 you may not 'like' much or discuss plenty or both) - Micah
CSV_A: 1.05,0.75,1.44,0.81,3.74,0.79,0.77,0.67,0.77,0.76,1.39,1.8,1.61,1.12,0.141,5.08,2.41,0.66,.39,0.62,.62,1.27,0.8576,1.551,0.69 - Micah
1.83 - Grant Bierman
I tend to like allot of photos which really don't need comments. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)
InPerpetualMotion(Gina k), I really liked this 'Like' of yours (in a series of pics, so I flickr fav'd it): http://friendfeed.com/e... and commented. Thanks! - Micah

this is what scobes walls would like if he didnt have FF - sean percival
I haven't seen Marc Canter's fabled fence (just heard about it), but I imagine this but on wood pickets :) - Micah
This week: 2.48 (1162:467) but this is not the norm, my likes usually match or are higher than comments, overall: 0.95 (14228:14846). - Kol Tregaskes
Thanks Michael, Kol! I'll recalculate average/median when we build up some more data points here. - Micah
1.03 748/723 - Keith - @tsudo
.68 6986/10194 Someone wrote a great article on the comment-like ratio a few months ago. Search on FriendFeed is crashing on me... I'll try to get the link. - Mitchell Tsai
Thanks Mitchell (btw, search crashing on me too - lots) - Micah

Thanks, Rachel! - Micah

2.94 - j1m
Thank you, j1m. Ok, I'm gonna roll this up into a csv and call it a night. - Micah
CSV_B: 0.95,0.7,3.46,3.98,1.02,0.15,0.34,0.52,1.31,0.56,0.16,1.39,4.62,2.63,0.15,0.52,2.94 - Micah

CSV_B Mean: 1.49 (previous mean for CVS_A: 1.27) - Micah
Of course the numbers can easily lie, but I'm gonna say it anyway: "We're getting more conversational, people!" - Micah
0.49 (493/988) - Bluesun 2600

chaz2b, Bluesun 2600, Roger, Nicholas — thank you! - Micah
5.25 but I don't know what this *means, yet. maybe I'm just stingy with my "likes" compared to others? - Marg Uerite
Thanks jamar78 and Marg! - Micah
A recent change in FF: now the comment count shows total number of comments (previously multiple comments in one thread only counted as one) http://friendfeed.com/e... so all the numbers above are from the old methodology.... - David HC Soul
My new ratio: 0.76 all time (old methodology .52).... this week 1.39 - David HC Soul
*bump* - Micah
1.26 (2965/2346) - Micah
Thanks, Glen and pea! - Micah
Looks like my ratio as flipped again (comments back to dominating again). Seems to match my own awareness I've lately been commenting without Liking (commenting is my inherent recognition of value to me and the additional Like is when it merits an extra bump to help discovery by others). - Micah
.38 - Ryan Dadey
Ryan, I have to say, that's one high caliber ratio ;) - Micah
An update it's .44 which is an improvement from .36 - Michael Fidler

Thank you, amin/gnu - Micah
1.45 (4374/3026) - Micah
0.92 now. I think the movie reviews have been getting me closer to a 1 to 1 ratio. - Steven Perez
Steven, yep, you were a 0.85 in April. - Micah
2.10 now ... - Amani
0.97 now. - Eric Johnson
Amani, so your comments have climbed a bit. - Micah
Thanks, Eric. - Micah
yes, but i am not consciously "not liking" things - Amani from IM
Probably, just chattier then :) - Micah
I'm down from 7.16 to 6.94 :-) - Ken Sheppardson
the live NBA playoff threads have ALOT to do with it. - Amani from IM
Ken, the FCC may be interested to explore how your "I'm down" may be offensively self-deprecating ;) - Micah
.56 eeep, must try harder - Threepwood
4.52. I don't bother to like things I've commented on, since commenting already flags it as interesting. - Andy Bakun
0.46 (1698/3638) - Glenn Slaven
Threepwood, Andy, Glenn - thanks (Andy, that's my mo too; then I'll Like if it warrants a "double vote"). - Micah
1.31 (4,471/3,401) - Karoli
Thanks, Karoli. And the both of us have a _very_ similar ratio and absolute numbers. wow. - Micah
Thanks, Ryo! - Micah
Andy, scroll upward and you'll see a couple calculations from before (January: Average: 1.27 | Median: 0.81) - Micah
In March the Mean was: 1.49 - Micah

Thanks, tom. And though a bit verbose, your friend Wolfram is resourceful :D - Micah
0.55 (254/444) - Willem (@wim66) ☠
Thank you, Willem. - Micah
In April you were 0.97, so you're liking more / commenting less. - Micah

Thanks, Rick! - Micah
Np Micah. What is that photo? - Rick Cogley
.54 (4148/7674) Updated! - Michael Fidler
Rick, you mean that face with glasses I photoshopped tint into with an apparently disembodied arm which is actually very much attached to my eldest son? It's mostly just me :) - Micah
Thanks, Michael. Yes, you have a rising tide of comment percentage (oh, wow, you were one of the originals from January - cool!) - Micah

Brome, Marc and Thierry - thank you! - Micah
Thierry - yeah, 2.9 is fairly high - got to pick the pace on like side :) [but hey, whatever works for you is fine] - Micah
1.91 - MiniMage
Thank you Nicholas and MiniMage! - Micah
Yeah, that's a decent upward rise in comments, Nicholas. - Micah
.6 (6,000/10,000) 3rd update - Now it's time to flip this on its head. My goal is to have (16,000/16,000) next time I post here. Regardless of what happens, I'm just looking forward to the next 10,000 comments, likes, posts, and new relationships I make here. It's all good! - Michael Fidler
1.76 (7539/4290) My commenting habits haven't chanced much, but it felt like I clicked Like a lot less, and this ratio confirms that for me. - Micah
It's that time again. - Micah

0.78 - Pete D
.82 as of right now. edit: on January 8th it was 0.39 -- when I saw that, I decided to make more of an effort to comment. When I hit 10k "likes" I decided I wouldn't "like" anything else until I also had 10k comments. - Bren
And thank you Jimminy, Pete, Bren and Penguin! - Micah
2.47 as of right now. - Jonas, Leper of FF
Micah, are you doing something with these numbers? If so sounds interesting. - Jimminy IS Everybody
0.58 - Absentee
Jimminy, I'm copyrighting every single number. It's kind of a honeypot ;) Actually, it was curiosity mostly, but I also hope to build a sampling (small and self-selecting as it may be) for anyone who might want to analyze it. - Micah
Jonas, James and Kurt - thanks you! - Micah
You're welcome. I hope the results do some good. :-) - Absentee
.31. I have almost 4 times as many likes as comments. - edythe
Thank you edythe and Eric! - Micah
195/245 makes 0.8 rounded not including this one which would be 196/245 making 0.8 unrounded, - tom murphy
Thanks, Tom. - Micah
1.98 (588/297) - Bryan Zirkel
1.67 (19,550/11,684) - Mitchell Tsai
Bryan, Mitchell and Jeff P. - thanks, guys! - Micah
1.18 - it's always been close to 1, since day one, for some reason. - Laura Norvig
Wow, Penguin is a prolific liker! - Laura Norvig

SuezanneC, Brian, B E N and Joe - thank you all very much! - Micah
Joe, it's like see the odometer click through a nice round number - it's just inexplicably engaging. :) - Micah
1.40, nearly the square root of two. - Vezquex
Thanks, Raphael and Andy! - Micah
1.15 (6777/5873) - JA Castillo
12.23 (844 / 69 ) I guess I take my likes seriously ;) - Chris Myles
Wow I didn't realize I was so out of whack!! 12.23 that's got to be a record (and I don't even import my feeds with the summary as a comment)!! - Chris Myles
Thanks JA, Chris (wow, 12+ is unusual :), Serkan and Nine! - Micah
Micah.. I told you I take my likes seriously; ). You *might* want to ask (in a separate post) what percentage of likes were used to "bookmark" a post or save it for later VS actually "liking it". I NEVER used like for that.. but I did use a private group that if filled with my own topics (and comments).. - Chris Myles
1.78 (8529/4782) - Micah
Likes are down relative to comments, which matches my much lower frequency of liking. I'm a more selective liker than ever. - Micah
I don't think I could argue that any particular kind of ratio is "best", because if Lurkers like to Lurk and cultivate (via Likes) and the Chatty-ites love to chat, to pump out much many more comments than Likes, each can be happy and make for a great social experience. - Micah
383/372 - Ashish
'Just clicking "Like" seems too easy' — Jason, that's because you're from the Chatty-ite tribe :) - Micah
Thanks, ashish. - Micah
wow, what a difference time makes, when i 1st posted on this thread, 6.43%, now = 1.25%, for a 5.18% difference, :o (and this is the earliest post to date i've recovered of my activity on ff) - chaz2b
chaz, I think there's been a big fluctuation for most people (maybe not that much). This is the oldest post on which you commented that you've recovered? - Micah

Thanks, Bren. - Micah
Thank you, Alex :) - Micah
that was my third post... It's interesting to see how the number has changed. of course, I manipulated the number to a degree, because I stopped "liking" things for a while... - Bren
Bren, the other thing that can seriously throw off someone's stats is a feed that upon each item it imports adds a comment automatically. - Micah
true. that can seriously inflate comment stats, of course. Then you have someone like RAPatton, who posts a gazillion comments, in part because of his playlist posts where he will list each song in a separate comment. I found, after this post in fact, that I tended to "like" things much more frequently than comment on them, that I was lurking instead of participating. I have changed the way I use ff rather considerably, and I think for the better. - Bren
Thanks, Sarah, Tutivillus. - Micah

NBA player Jason Collins says he is gay - The Magazine - SI.com http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/magazin...
i'm not sure it needed to be the lead news story on everything but good for him. hopefully in future it won't be news. - Surprisingly Monstrous
And time marches on. One thing: Is it just me, or does the accompanying announcement "I'm black" kind of detract from his statement? He *is* in the NBA after all. And beyond that, it's just rather beside the point to me. For instance, at this point, for me to declare, "I'm a dad." really doesn't add much to the conversation. - MoTO #TeamMonique
I'm waiting for the day when this isn't news. - Gabrielle from FFHound(roid)!
I don't know. Maybe some "first!" posts are more significant than others. Or maybe not. - Victor Ganata
this is news? - AJ Batac
The way I look at it is, no one else has done it. Far more trivial "firsts!" have made the news, so why not? - Victor Ganata
We "knew" that someone would unmask in pro sports. Who decided to be first is news. That someone felt they could do so is probably bigger news - WarLord
Recently, I've seen support for marriage equality really take hold. Last month, 13 Chicago area black pastors publicly voiced their support. That is huge. Collins's announcement may not be as "big" as people think. The needle is moving. - MoTO #TeamMonique
He's the first active player to be on the news. But definitely wan't the first in the sport. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports... - AJ Batac
Well, I think the "active" part is a considerable distinction. - Victor Ganata
The bigger news will be is he signed by any team. He's not on any teams right now so it's kind of a grey area, he's not an active player. If a team signs him that will be big I think as it will be post coming out. Meaning a team thought about it and any consequences and went with him. He's not a spring chicken so he might never play again without it having to do with the being public about preferences. - Surprisingly Monstrous
Sure, the needle is moving, but I'm wary of saying "so what?" to this story. To me, doing so feels like how some people say "Well, now that we have a black president, now we can stop talking about race." - Victor Ganata
Well, he played the 2012-2013 season but is now an unrestricted free agent, so, yeah, we'll see if he gets to keep playing, but I think this is fairly different from athletes who came out long after they retired from the sport. - Victor Ganata
That's a trip his twin brother never knew. - Rodfather
"I'm not afraid to take on any opponent. I love playing against the best. Though Shaquille O'Neal is a Hall of Famer, I never shirked from the challenge of trying to frustrate the heck out of him. (Note to Shaq: My flopping has nothing to do with being gay.)" -- He should burn in hell for coming out as a flopper. - Rodfather

ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No.. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?...
WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law. - AJ Batac

Happy birthday to Stephen Mack, FriendFeed's most proficient, and accurate, liker. He is loved by all, admired by many, and his works are enjoyed by all those who come in touch with them. This year, for his birthday, I am told FriendFeed has chipped in to buy him a screensaver! It will come on a floppy disk in the mail.

Thank you, Louis! That photo was more than 7 years ago... - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Does he still use a Sinclair ZX81 as well, or is that a bit too modern? I think Charles Babbage had some kind of interesting gadget that came a bit before Apple's ipad too. - Erik Retallick

Ha ha! You picked THAT picture? Thanks, man! I got a couple exams to knock out midday but then...IT'S ON! :) - c.a.j.
Happy Birthday! Have a great day. - Trish R
Happy B., CAJ - Franc, a rememberer
I wanted something that fit your personality! Plus now I know who ate all the Entenmann's. o_O - Derrick
Happy birthday, Alan. Also, rock those midterms. - Tamara J. from FFHound(roid)!
Happy Alan Day! - Mary B: #TeamMonique from iPhone
Also, I still haven't quite figured out whether to call you Curtis or Alan, so when our paths cross I will probably call you CAJ (spelled out: see ay jay, not rhyming with cash, bash, or trash.) - Derrick
LOL. I always do the same thing with the initials. - Trish R
Happy birthday! - Katy S from iPhone
Happy birthday, caj (rhyming with bash)! - Eivind
I answer to nearly about anything these days to include "Hey you". :D (As an aside, I've never figured out how CAJ should be said.) - c.a.j.
Happy day to you, Sir! - Friar Ticket to Ride
Also, not to get all side-tracked and emotional, but this is when I knew FriendFeed was more than just your average socnet. You were in the military, obviously and we had interacted a bit but then you were stationed overseas AND I WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT YOU. You talked about running (either not being able to or running all of the time?) and I was like aren't we at war? I was so concerned cause that's just how I am and then you were back and I was so proud of you. Anyway. Emotional. Happy birthday. - Derrick
Awww, shucks man. I was running several days a week along the (inside of) the fence line of our base in Afghanistan armed occasionally with a cell phone but usually just my ID. I was more worried about being run over by big ass vehicles than anything else. Sounds silly but I really did appreciate your concern. :) C'mere ya big lug. *big two-armed hug* - c.a.j.
*running chest bump* - Derrick
Happy birthday! I pronounce it as "Cadge" in my head. :) - LB: #TeamMonique from Android

"Slugs will ruin a vegetable garden pretty fast unless some serious means of taking care of them is implemented. The electric fence has proven to be pretty well 100% effective in my experiments to date. The fence consists of two runs of wires spaced about 3/4 inch apart running around the perimeter of the raised bed - one wire is connected to the +ve terminal and the other to the -ve terminal of a battery. An electric current will flow through the slug if it makes contact with both wires at the same time. The resulting "shock" with usually cause the slug to turn back. I've been using a 9-volt battery as the power source, the battery lasts the whole growing season but the voltage drops to 5 volts or so by the end of the season (my measurements). It's a good idea to check the volage once in a while to make sure the battery is still providing enough voltage (corrosion can be a problem at the battery connectors). A few years ago when setting up a new fence I didn't have a 9-volt battery... more... - Spidra Webster from Bookmarklet

That's cool! You can also use those older solar panels made with either 12 volts or 24 volts. - AJ Batac

Once You Can Snatch The iPhone From My Pocket With Your Chopsticks… | Macgasm
"The man pictured here was recently spotted in China pickpocketing someone’s iPhone using only a pair of chopsticks. If stealing with a pair of chopsticks wasn’t enough for you, don’t worry, as this man also did it all while jogging behind an unsuspecting biker." - Morton Fox from Bookmarklet
I like how the cyclist nearby just ignores it. :( - Spidra Webster
How can you grab a glass covered iPhone with chopsticks? - Eric - seven eleven
Maybe it had one of those rubberized coverings, and the covering gave it more friction. - John (bird whisperer)
that man must have good chopstick kungfu. - imabonehead
Yeah, the second pic there shows it had a yellow case. Probably also provided a lip for easier grabbing. - Andrew C (✓)
I find it amazing that the photographer captured it. - Stephan Planken
I'm with Stephan. Great shots! - AJ Batac

"All you have to do to prevent this is sign in to Facebook and click through to (get ready) -> Settings -> Privacy -> News Feed and Wall -> Facebook Ads -> Appearance in Facebook Ads and click "no one." Unless, of course, you want to be semifamous and have your picture used to push some garbage product or website without your knowledge. (note: when I tried to make this change just now, the site returned an error. oh, and it might not work in Firefox either due to a 'bug.')" - AJ Batac from Bookmarklet
Nice... The coming Facebook backlash is going to be interesting to watch. I give it 1 to 1.5 years. - mikepk
And I was surprised to see my setting set to "Appear on Facebook Ads". x_x Go here---> Settings -> Privacy -> News Feed and Wall -> Facebook Ads -> Appearance in Facebook Ads and click "no one." - AJ Batac
Interesting ownership of content rules over there, heh? - Jason Nunnelley
My Facebook Ads page is blank. Maybe because I only have my stuff opened to friends? - Anika
I disabled my AdBlock Plus to view that page Anika. - AJ Batac
Ah, okay let me try that. EDIT: Thanks! That worked. I was already selected to not appear in ads. - Anika
Good! Mine was set to appear to friends initially. Changed it to "none". - AJ Batac
Just one more reason to ignore FB. - Jeff Stannard
Thank you. - Nathalie
Yet another reason I stay away from Facebook. Too many privacy horror stories. - Manny
bad fb. really bad. why the fcuk is this "opt-out" and not "opt-in"? - vijay
Because. - AJ Batac from iPod
heads up! ULTRA INTRUSIVE FACEBOOK ADS INCOMING! - vijay
I went to that part of the settings and this is the popup I got... "Worried about privacy? Your photos are safe. There have been misleading rumors recently about the use of your photos in ads.

I like hard-boiled egg whites. I just pull the yolk out and toss it. I do, however, like deviled eggs. go figure. - Bren
I love hard boiled eggs....my GI system does not. Just the whites for me. - Mary Carmen
Everybody, we now know what to send Holly for her birthday. Dozens upon dozens of hard boiled eggs. - Akiva
I love hard-boiled eggs. I eat them a few times a week, like this morning for breakfast, or sliced on a sandwich. - John (bird whisperer)
Akiva, that would put you on the fast track to the top of The List. - holly #ravingfangirl
this is one of the few foods that i hate in every way - taste, smell, texture. the whole package. - holly #ravingfangirl
I almost always have hard boiled eggs in the fridge for sudden onset snackage. Bit of Baconsalt, bit of grains of paradise? Flawless victory. - Akiva
I love the yolks. The texture of the whites can be a little rubbery, but I push through it. I prefer a good egg salad, really. - Laura Norvig from iPod
I think I like it best when diced up and turned into an egg sandwich - Rodfather
ew ew ew ew - holly #ravingfangirl
I can eat them every single day. - AJ Batac
Blech! - Katy S
I just bought a dozen eggs. Three wil go into making matzoh brie. The rest will make Holly very very sad - RudĩϐЯaЯïan
just what I need to grow muscle. dozens of them - Franc, a rememberer
Yeah, these can DIAF... #BARF - JA Castillo
I will take the orphaned and unwanted hard boiled eggs. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Free range please. - Nick B.
Yet another reason to love Holly. Boiled eggs are super nasty. #worstfoodever - Gunnyman™
Yeah, soft boiled eggs or sunny side up are way better than hard boiled. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Oh, I like them okay. I don't hate them, but I don't crave them either. I love how vocal everyone is. :) - Derrick
I was just using this thread as an excuse to love on Holly, hating on eggs at the same time is a bonus. - Gunnyman™
I love Holly and hate hard-boiled eggs. - Laura H.
Oh, I love the eggs with some freshly cracked pepper and salt - Eric - seven eleven
More for me! :D - Jennifer Dittrich
Holly, I'm not going to tell you that you are wrong, but you're wrong. :D - Scoble, Alex Scoble
YOU ARE NOT HEEDING MY DECREE. - holly #ravingfangirl
I didn't eat eggs for 20 years after an ... incident I bumped into while volunteering at COSI in high school. A future #SaturdayFF, perhaps. - Marie
I should make pickled eggs. - Andrew C (✓)
I'm making them even though I hate them. - Katy S
I have those - with a little salt and pepper - for breakfast at least one or two days a week. High-impact protein without mess, what can be better? - WebGoddess
I'm ok with being #judged. Especially if it means I get more yummy eggs. - WebGoddess
I'd eat that. - SAM
Annnnnd, I just made a couple for breakfast. With toast. - Derrick
NTS: Holly doesn't like them hard. - DJF
LOL. also, i have no idea how me judging you gets you more, but... go on with your bad self. - holly #ravingfangirl
If you are judging me, you aren't eating them yourself, are you? No, of course not! This means that there are more yummy eggs for me to boil until they are nice and hard and then eat. That's how you judging me gets me more eggs. It's not really about the judging. It's about you being too icked out to eat my share. Or your share. Which I presume I could have? - WebGoddess

Congress Passes Controversial ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ | Farms.com - http://www.farms.com/ag-indu...
Congress Passes Controversial ‘Monsanto Protection Act’ | Farms.com
"The U.S. House of Representatives recently passed a last-minute amendment to the Agriculture Appropriations Bill (HR933) – a provision that would protect genetically modified seeds (GMOs) from litigation over health risks. It is known as the Senate’s continuing resolution bill, which provides short-term funding to the federal government until the end of the fiscal year. The vote was 318 to 109 in favour of passing the Bill. Opponents have dubbed it the “Monsanto Protection Act,” since the biotech rider would strip the federal courts authority to stop GMO seed crops from being grown – even if there is consumer health concerns. The bill has a six-month expiration life and it remains unknown if this provision will be short-lived or if it will be extended. Opponents to the bill, led by the group Food Democracy Now, have launched a campaign calling on President Barack Obama to veto the Continuing Resolution spending bill, but their request will not likely succeed, since the bill does include a significant amount of government funding." - AJ Batac from Bookmarklet
