Why, pray tell, do government agencies charge MORE for the privilege of submitting payment online versus mailing in a check? I know that credit card processing has a fee associated with it, but to tack on extra fees on top of that is just gouging and counterproductive.

It costs a lot more to have clerks open mail and deposit checks manually, after all.

Bitter because of having to pay FREAKING $470 for a camera ticket in Elk Grove for failure to stop on a right turn AND THEN PAY TONS OF FEES ON TOP OF THAT -->

It's also bizarre to me that they list all of the offenders and their fine in a PDF on their web site: http://saccourt.ca.gov/traffic... -- I know it's public information, but still.

Congrats! How has the increase in physical fitness felt? Are you stronger and more energetic?

Having better fitness is great. Used to get winded climbing stairs, not anymore! Unfortunately, my weight loss hasn't helped my bad back issues - been fighting back pain for 5 months. Hard to exercise when you're in pain!
- Ken Gidley
Excellent
- Rodfather
That's too bad. I'm pretty sure losing weight off my gut would help my back issues. Do you do hamstring stretches? My chiro told me (and my experience bears out) that tight hamstrings can pull on things in a way that causes low back pain. Of course, if your back pain is due to disc issues, that's another kettle of fish.
- Spidra Webster
Has this all been due to bike riding or have you had a program involving diet regimen and other exercises? I'm curious because I have chronic pain from disability. As you say, it's hard to exercise when you're in pain. I'm trying to change my eating regimen again as well as exercise even more. I'm curious what worked for you.
- Spidra Webster
I don't stretch enough, but I do have disc issues. Had surgery 15 years back, looking like I may need another go of it. :(

Spidra - the biggest thing for me was changing my diet. I've used LoseIt.com and the companion iPhone app to help me set a daily calorie budget (based on my current weight and the rate I wanted to lose weight - 1.5 lbs / per week), and track all my calorie intake.

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.

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!

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).

We have received numerous reports of excessive FriendFeed posts showing up in Facebook this evening. While we are not 100% sure, it appears to be an issue on Facebook's end due to ignoring application settings.

After going through the documentation and playing around with some feeds, I love the fact that you can now see the subscriber lists of people who have their feeds set to private as long as you are subscribed to them and authenticate (mimicking the main site functionality). One thing that's absent is a discussion of Direct Messages. Do they show up in feeds if you authenticate? How do we find just direct messages?

- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Why would it be an option? I don't think this is related to rights at all.

Cristo, I like watching some things more than once, and lots of children tend to do this as well in my experience. Also family/shared accounts where one person hasn't seen something. That said, I know plenty of people that don't like watching something twice, but they don't seem as numerable.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
So it should be an option for suggestion to only include things without ratings.

Or it can just be a category called 'Watch Again'.

there is a watch-again category; i dont know what you all are talking about (as often the case when cristo appears in the conversation, ;)

Eurozone thrown into new crisis as France loses AAA credit rating - http://www.guardian.co.uk/busines...
AJ Kohn, Infosystem, Halil and 3 other people liked this
"Europe has been plunged into a fresh crisis after France admitted it had been stripped of its coveted AAA rating in a mass downgrade of at least half a dozen eurozone countries by the credit ratings agency S&P. Share prices plunged, the euro dropped to a 16-month low against the dollar and the European Central Bank was forced to step in to buy Italian bonds after European sources admitted action by the credit ratings agencies was imminent. Bringing an abrupt end to the uneasy calm that has existed in the eurozone since the turn of the year, the heavily-trailed S&P move rekindled financial market anxiety about a Greek default and possible break-up of the single currency. Nicolas Sarkozy was due to go on national TV to explain the humiliating loss of France's top-rated status, leaving Germany as the only other major economy inside the eurozone with a AAA rating. French finance minister François Baroin downplayed the move, saying it was "not a catastrophe". Germany and the Netherlands...

Oh before, definitely. I think Google's going to take one more try at building an in-house competitor before they make another serious acquisition attempt.

Proof, that teachers should have to prove themselves.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
from Bookmarklet
Ouch!
- Rene, Pro Button Pusher
Is there even enough information to know the answer?
- Brian Sullivan
I think so. It took her 10 minutes to saw through it once, so it would take 20 to do it twice (and create 3 pieces).
- Lix
Yes, 1 board divided into 2 peices by 1 cut. 1 cut takes 10 minutes. So to get 3 pieces it takes 2 cuts, thus 20.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Oh, my. How horrible that they don't just give the teachers the correct answers anymore. Now we just expect them to solve difficult problems all by themselves... /sarcasm
- Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™
from Android
Lisa, yeah, this is totally making me think about, "People who can do, do; people that can't, teach."
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Doesn't the 20 answer assume some information about the direction of all cuts that isn't supplied? Or is the picture supposed to be enough to imply that ?
- Brian Sullivan
Damn, Marie is weak
- Mo Kargas
Brian, I'm pretty sure the only way you could solve this is to make the assumption that the cuts were the same. Otherwise, you must know distance of each cut, which isn't provided.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
The line-drawing is unrelated, and is to remind students to use chop sticks when going out authentically for sushi.
- Micah
Like I said -- the information supplied is not enough.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian it absolutely is, otherwise the question is useless. The assumption's that are asked is that the board's are similar, and the cuts are across the same axis.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Maybe the "just as fast" is supposed to indicate that it takes the same time for each cut.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, why would you switch directions when cutting a board? Besides wanting to split it's width, it's generally not done, and it still wouldn't make the teacher anymore correct, I'd say it would make the teacher even less correct, because there would be no cut at all.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
If it's "just as fast" per board, then it's 10 minutes each board.
- Micah
Regardless the 15 correction can never be correct. At least the 20 answer is reasonable.
- Brian Sullivan
"Just as fast" makes the teachers second assertion wrong. Just as fast = same rate in my mind, therefore 10mins per cut.
- Mo Kargas
The comments are interesting (some terrible). Basically, it appears it could be 10 mins a cut, therefore 30 mins total. Taking into account the first ten minutes that have elapsed, the answer would be 20.
- caj needs a haircut
Brian, the 15mins isn't always wrong, if the second board was 3/4 the width, it would only take 7.5 minutes to make the cut. 7.5 x 2 = 15 . :)
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Wow. You guys are WAY over-thinking this. 1 cut takes 10 minutes for 2 pieces. 3 pieces means 2 cuts at 10 minutes each. 20 minutes. As my favorite high school algebra/trig teacher used to say, "Keep it simple, stupid." Also, my phone auto-corrects trig to Trogdor.
- Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™
from Android
But that would mean it was not "just as fast"
- Brian Sullivan
Possibly, but not guaranteed to be unrelated: http://friendfeed.com/micahwi...
- Micah
Lisa, I'm not overthinking the initial problem, I'm overthinking Brian's variations.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Sorry for the diversion -- I have been talking about stuff like this with my son -- who is about to become..... a math teacher.
- Brian Sullivan
Brian, and understood where you were coming from, but one thing that they also try to teach congruent to math is problem solving, which involves, less than perfect data, either missing or irrelevant distractors.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
Aaargh! I'm supposed to be napping! I love math.
- Lisa L. Seifert | FHG™
from Android
The stupidity of the teacher's correction is making my eyes go crossed. Regardless of the correct answer to the problem, the teacher's logic isn't just flawed, it's idiotic and I question why they would be allowed to teach. Yes, I'm harsh. I also expect the people educating me to put as much effort into knowing the subject as I do.
- Hookuh Tinypants

I had a math teacher that used my tests as the answer keys and told anyone that handed theirs in before me to go check it again. (Quite dangerous practice, if you ask me. Never trust a dyscalculic to make your math test answer keys.)
- April
I was sidetracked when I first saw this. It sort kinda made sense when I first saw the answer, but the comments weren't there yet. There is this thing called reality. You don't suddenly get a much sharper saw or develop much stronger arms, or a faster rotating saw.
- Brent - Yes I am
You should read some of the comments gathering at the original Post - interesting.
- Brent - Yes I am
One cut takes 10 minutes because Marie works for the city.
- Jemm
Or CalTrans. (with 4 other employees watching)
- Hookuh Tinypants
This came up for another search, and I realized there is another reasonable solution to get 15. If the board is a square, then you can cut it into 3 pieces by spending 10 minutes cutting the board in half(10 minutes), and then cutting perpendicular to the original cut, which would take half as long(5 minutes). 3 pieces in 15 minutes.
- Jimminy, CoG of FF
I think it was just that the grader misread it as "2 /cuts/ = 10 minutes" not realizing that 2 pieces implies one cut.
- Kevin L
At first glance that was the assumption I made, too. However, if they're smart they should be reasonable and realize the error.
- Kevin L
Also another good reason to always show your work and list assumptions. I realize that's not something elementary grade kids are keen on doing, but this shows the importance. If the person taking the test had jotted down "2 pieces means 1 cut, 3 pieces means 2 cuts, t(3 pieces) = 2*t(2 pieces) = 20 min" then you would see the logic.

I'm guessing the conversation continued like this - "And why is he awesome?" "Because he can take the blame, he can do what the good guys can't, and he can take the blame." "Very good. And why can he take the blame?" "Because he's Gotham's Dark Knight, Daddy"
