What's a good way to phrase "I feel blessed" when you don't really believe there is someone out there doing the blessing?
"Fortunate" perhaps? - RepoRat
As a Bokononist I say, "Lucky me! Lucky mud!". - Bill Hooker
I am at peace - WarLord
I'd go with "fortunate." In fact, I use it frequently. :) - Catherine Pellegrino
Honored works well - Hedgehog
you, in particular, could say that your hard work is paying off :) - Christina Pikas
Grateful? appreciative? groovy? - SteVe C
+1 Christina's - Kubke
+1 Christina - Bill Hooker
Can't (epi)genetics do the blessing? From an English grammar language perspective, that's a non-issue... "I've been blessed by genomics background" - Egon Willighagen
teleken
it's a Honda CR-V and far and away the most money I've ever spent on a car. Love it, though. - teleken from BuddyFeed
What are you going to name her? - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Name her Cristo. That will prove his point. - Lisa | #TeamMonique
I <3 Lisa. Also, I <3 CR-V. I'm either getting that or a Pilot when I trade in next year (though I'm super tempted to trade in right now...). - Hookuh Tinypants
The CR-V has a ridiculous turning radius - easier to park than that rental Impala I had. The EX comes VERY nicely loaded. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Gratz! I adore new cars of all the types. - Lnorigb
Nice car. I seriously considered one, but couldn't quite manage it. And used ones are really hard to find within a 100 mile radius. (According to Cars.com, at least.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Well, Cristo's comment is gone. So now mine & Amanda's comments just look silly... Also, I really preferred the Subaru Forester to the CR-V back when I was looking. Although, the ease of repairing a Honda might sway me in the future IF they give them AWD... Love my Forester's AWD! - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Wow. Great minds think alike. I really wanted a Forester when my search began. But the only used one I could find was way overpriced and a test drive proved that it wasn't mechanically up to par. But they are really really popular, as in "#1 selling car in its class" popular (at least according to Subaru.) But still, I love my Soul. Not as big, no AWD, but it has everything I really... more... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Wait, what happened to Jalapeño? - Marie
The Forester was a consideration for me, but TCO was through the roof if you go out 5 years. Truth be told, this is my sixth Honda in 25 years. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Nice choice! The Honda, not Mark's music. :) - Stephan Planken from iPhone
Marie - Jalapeño was totaled 9 months after I bought her by a sleeping driver doing 50 MPH who rear-ended me while I was stopped at a light. I've had bad luck with Toyotas. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Lisa - they make AWD CR-Vs. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Oh, Jalapeño. *pours out a sip* - Marie
Whaaaa? I've never seen a used one! It might be time to finally consider my first NEW car... - Lisa | #TeamMonique
all new CRV? sweeet I want one of those! :D - پروتژه
Honda rocks, between BMW and Honda, I chose Honda for lower price and similar features with almost certainly better quality than german engineering. - پروتژه
Lisa - the AWD ones typically stocked are EX-Ls, which means you get leather and the premium nav system too. Fair price is about $29K. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Love it! Sadly I'm about to be dropped (I mean extinguished) by leveled-up knockout drops, or I'd have a clever Chfistopher-White-referential name for the car. But BlacoBlanco isn't yanking my chaiiiiii.............n.n.......n........n......... - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Sweet. Thanks for the tip, teleken! - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Any time. :) I must be getting old; this time around I shopped safety before style. IMO I got both with this car. IHSA has this one second to the Forester, BTW - they're more or less neck and neck. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Incidentally, I learned the CR-V is built on the same frame as the Accord, which explains the smooth ride and the way it handles. - teleken from BuddyFeed
@teleken: does it come with the double wishbone suspension? it was eliminated after 2012 in accords, makes the ride reallly smooth tho - پروتژه
I think Honda would have marketed it as such. From what I was able to find, it's MacPherson up front and "multi-link" in back. It does ride smoothly, though - I'm sure the factory 17" tires have a lot to do with that. - teleken from BuddyFeed
I love it, I would buy a CR-V if insurance premium wasn't so high here in Ontario - پروتژه
I was driving a 2004 Matrix. My policy went up about $70 USD a year. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Where are you in Ontario, BTW?My ex-wife, AKA She Who Must Not Be Mentioned By Name Lest She Appear (like Beetlejuice) grew up in Oshawa, which Deadmau5 immortalized with "Trapped in Oshawa" years ago. - teleken from BuddyFeed

LCD monitors don't have a degauss button.
One of the advantages of not using an electron gun to excite atoms to emit photons? - Victor Ganata
I miss it, actually. - Andrew C (✓)
The move from CRTs to LCDs made a big difference in the health of my eyes and sinuses, to be honest. I don't miss CRTs at all. - Victor Ganata
Sinuses? - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Yup, sitting in front of a CRT would dry *everything* out. - Victor Ganata
Some days, the degauss button was all that kept me going. - Meg V. Meg
Hey, there's a $1 app for iOS to "degauss" the screen. - Andrew C (✓)

Now that I've seen how my trees and shrubs look in all their budding/blooming glory, I want to replicate the ones I like that seem to do well. Wondering if starting new ones from clippings is possible/practical.
When I moved in last year the drought had already begun and any buds, blossoms or blooms were already gone. So seeing their true 'ornamental' qualities has been eye opening. But at $40 - $60 each even for small shrub bushes and trees, I'm hoping to reproduce more from those I've got. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
From what I've read on the web, starting 'softwood' shrub and fruit trees from clippings has a better likelihood of success than hardwoods, but even then grafting has a better prospect for success. This is getting too complicated for a duffer like me. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
All of my years of propagating by cuttings, I've only been successful with softwood ones. Just make sure you cut at the right time for the plant and take a lot of cuttings to ensure success. You can do it! - Anika
Thanks Anika. Timing seems to be the key. Also thanks for using 'propagate', which is the word I was looking for but couldn't come up with when I needed it! - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

Whatever you decide to do, I hope this weekend's romancing goes better than the last few. - John (bird whisperer)

11 Critically endangered turtle species
"May 23rd, is World Turtle Day. It is a day of celebrating the many unique and ancient species of turtles and tortoises around the world, and bringing awareness to their need for protection. Of the 207 species of turtle and tortoise alive today, 129 of them are listed by IUCN as vulnerable, endangered, or critically endangered. That's an incredibly 62% of species! The species listed here are only a few of the many critically endangered turtle and tortoise species. They illustrate that though these species wear a suit of armor, they are incredible fragile and in need of protection by humans, from humans." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet

Scalia Resigns Post as Scoutmaster
"Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, who for the past forty-seven years has served as a weekend scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America, angrily resigned from that position yesterday, effective immediately. Justice Scalia quit his post in a terse resignation letter that read, in part: “Some of the happiest memories of my adult life have been as a scoutmaster. Huddling under blankets around the campfire, and so forth. But now, all of that has been ruined. Ruined.” Shortly after sending the letter, Justice Scalia destroyed his scoutmaster uniform in the blazing fireplace of his Supreme Court office. Later, he went across the hall to share his decision with his close confidant on the Court, Justice Clarence Thomas, telling him, “There’s nowhere I feel safe anymore, Clarence. The military? The N.B.A.? Nowhere. I guess the only place I still feel safe is the Supreme Court. This is still a safe place, isn’t it?” Justice Thomas said nothing in reply." - April Russo from Bookmarklet

A Simpsons Theme Park to Open With a Real-Life Krusty Burger, Moe's Tavern, and More
"This is big: Universal Studios announced that it will be expanding the area around The Simpsons Ride at its Universal Orlando Resort in Florida into a full-on Springfield replica this Summer. This means aside from the rides, it will feature actual restaurants and foods straight from The Simpsons. Visitors will be able to get "Krusty-certified meat sandwich[es]" from a Krusty Burger, doughnuts from Lard Lad and beer at the Duff Brewery (which was brewed exclusively for the theme park). There will also be a Moe's Tavern. And in addition, a Cletus' Chicken Shack, The Frying Dutchman, Luigi's Pizza, and a Kwik-E-Mart (hopefully they will serve Skittlebrau‎)." - Eric - Too Hot from Bookmarklet

MoTO #TeamMonique
So this image in my head of the Friar on a stool under a single spotlight, tuxedo tie undone, double shot in one hand and the mic in the other crooning "set 'em up Joe" pleases me probably more than it should.
And right at the end, he lights a cig, takes a long drag, and let's it out slow as the spotlight fades to black. Tell me you wouldn't pay to see it. - MoTO #TeamMonique
'68 Comeback Friar - Pete #TeamMonique
He sings, "Mack the Knife" and all of a sudden Stephen Mack is in the next spotlight *sorry, I promoted myself to general director of your head images* - Janet:#TeamMonique
I dig it, baby doll. Direct away. - MoTO #TeamMonique
oh uh, the Frair just tossed the tie and his tux jacket on the stage and started undoing shirt buttons. I think the bartender should have cut him off after that first double. - Greg GuitarBuster
I'm gonna have interesting dreams tonight now ;-) - Heleninstitches

Please don't bring up that whole licking nipples on the beach thing again. I'm sure someone will go and dredge it up out of the FF archives if we talk about it too much. :( - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

They were to call it the Last One, but the marketing team nixed that. - Tinfoil 2.0
I am surprised it's not XBox Ultimate Edition, to be honest. - Victor Ganata
It looks like it's about as big as the old ones, and so. many. ports. I wonder how much longer this antiquated form factor will hang on. - Tinfoil 2.0
To get smaller, they'd probably need to invent a revolutionary, new cooling system, or figure out how to make GPUs that don't generate oven-like temperatures. Or try to force people to accept that you really don't need that many polygons. - Victor Ganata
They said it'd be quiet, which further constrains cooling. - Andrew C (✓) from Android
They'd also probably have to do away with the optical drive, which would then probably reintroduce the issue of requiring an always-on Internet connection (which they've confirmed is not required with the XboxOne - it will require an Internet connection, but will still work if the net connection is out-of-commission for a while) - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
Also sounds like they didn't bother with backwards compatibility for DVD based Xbox 360 games. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Or online games you have purchased - Shevonne
Yeah, Shevonne, I think you are right, but I also think that with the online stuff they can possibly translate ownership from old platform to new for any online titles that get rewritten. Not that they will do this, just that it's possible. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I was thinking that it could be possible as well, but it seems due to the new hardware architecture...maybe the online games were created using the old one so it won't transfer? Someone know? - Shevonne
I assume that the PS4 will have the same issue. - Shevonne
They could always recompile the old games if a software emulation system isn't possible. But it's still noticeable how they didn't even mention it. Used to be backwards compatibility was a key feature (at least at console launches), or if it was left out, they at least had to address it. - Andrew C (✓)
Yeah, I'm certain Microsoft (and Sony) would rather that developers port their games to the new platform. - Victor Ganata
Yep, and it would still be possible for Microsoft to swing the licenses to the ports. Unfortunately, for the bean counters, there's little financial reason to do so. The number of sales that good will creates is much harder to count. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
IMHO cross compiling always has, and always will, suck big time - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
It's got to be better than emulation, though, performance wise, even if the XBox One is way more powerful than the XBox 360. - Victor Ganata
That depends on the game, but yes, in general that's true, Victor. Jeff, I believe that a lot of modern games are developed chiefly for one console (I think EA mostly develops first for PS3) and then ported to the Xbox. It seems to work well. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
should be interesting to watch now that both platforms will be x86 based, instead of totally different core architectures - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
These days they're usually not ported after the fact, they're usually developed on the dev team's own abstraction layer (or sometimes licensed middleware) over PS3 and 360. - Andrew C (✓)
Yeah, I know that Square Enix uses Crystal Tools to develop games for PS3, XBox 360, Windows, and the Wii. - Victor Ganata
Yes, Sony is doing the same thing with PS4. Regarding MS transferring the licenses, if Windows Phone 7-> Windows Phone 8 is any indication, some games will, but others won't (I was able to download new version of Fruit Ninja when I switched phones, but had to buy new copies of my Angry Birds games) - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
One red ring to rule them all. (a correction to the first comment) I wonder how they will compare to the original XBox, as web servers. - April Russo

That's just doing a right-click->Properties on the Photos library. Some of that space is taken up by videos, etc. that crept into my Photos library, along with a crapton of pictures of the floor, people's feet, etc. taken by the kidlet and Thing 1 on their cameras. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE

When Facebook bought FriendFeed, I freaked out a little but the way some people are reacting to Yahoo buying Tumblr IS LIKE FUCKING WOAH
I haven't quite understood that myself...I mean Yahoo is different under the new CEO so I don't understand the fear - Sir Shuping is just sir
I think that's it. Wild hysteria > Facts - Johnny from iPhone
I think it's also sad just how much people are dredging up Geocities and Flickr as examples of how poorly Yahoo! handles its acquisitions. Yahoo! bought Geocities to basically kill it as Yahoo! Site Builder competition, and instead rolled them together for over a decade. Flickr, while it certainly stopped innovating, is still around and is still pretty well-regarded. ETA - Overall, I think Yahoo!'s major acquisitions have fared at least as well as many of Google's major acquisitions. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
It reminds me more of the reaction you saw when LiveJournal was changing hands. You would have thought the apocalypse was nigh. (In this case, it seems to at least partially be related to the relative youth of many Tumblr users, many of whom haven't had their favorite service get bought out yet.) - Jennifer Dittrich
And, of course, 10 minutes after I say Flickr hasn't seen any innovation, I find out they've unveiled a gorgeous new layout and are giving users 1TB of photo storage for free, now. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
GEE, do the established users get that or just the new ones? *grumble* - Joe Silence
Everyone that's a member of Flickr gets 1TB of space, effective immediately. New users and established users. Don't know what they'll do about users that already paid for premium memberships, though - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
