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

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

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

If I found a log in our yard infested with termites, should I call an exterminator to check the house?
How close to the house? - Jennifer Dittrich
20 to 30 feet - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Hmm. That's fairly far away, but I'd still be tempted to get someone in to look. At the very least, you might want to dig at a small amount near your house on that side to see if you see any of them in the soil. I think they'd usually recommend a barrier treatment if you don't find any very near (more than a foot away.) - Jennifer Dittrich
How is the condition of your foundation or footings? Any cracks they could be crawling in through? Do you have a few inches of bare concrete footing separating any wood parts of your house from the ground? (Earth-to-wood contact is the worst) - Brian Johns
This is all talking about subterranean termites. Keep in mind that the airborne kind have a completely different method of infestation, detection, etc. - Brian Johns
Thanks, Brian. As far as I know my foundation is solid and there's no wood touching the ground on the house. I think that one of the main runners for the deck is barely off the ground on concrete though and that's untreated lumber. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

"he couple had run out of milk for their son, Holden, while their neighborhood was on lockdown during Friday’s manhunt. Shortly after noon, McKenzie Wells' mother, Trish Sommers, walked down the block to take a chance at asking an officer if he could help, and he more than obliged. “It just meant the world that he literally went out and got two gallons of milk,’’ McKenzie Wells told TODAY.com. “We wanted to pay him but he wouldn’t take money from us.

Prohibition in the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...
pstp bev prohib "The cost of enforcing Prohibition was high, and the lack of tax revenues on alcohol (some $500 million annually nationwide)[citation needed] affected government coffers. When repeal of Prohibition occurred in 1933, organized crime lost nearly all of its black market alcohol profits in most states (states still had the right to enforce their own laws concerning alcohol consumption) because of competition with low-priced alcohol sales at legal liquor stores. Prohibition had a notable effect on the alcohol brewing industry in the United States. When Prohibition ended, only half the breweries that previously existed reopened. The post-Prohibition period saw the introduction of the American lager style of beer, which dominates today. 4 -14http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki...... more... - Thomas Page from Bookmarklet

Why Can't America Get Poutine Right - http://www.buzzfeed.com/henrygo...
Why Can't America Get Poutine Right
Show all
"When poutine is made properly, the gravy should be hot enough to melt the cheese curds and make the fries soggy. What you're left with is an awesomely goopy, gravy-licous, hot potato mess. For people who enjoy a night of drinking, poutine works perfectly as a calorie-rich after-bar snack -- or the most ideal hangover food in human history. You don't have to be a drunk to enjoy it. You do, however, have to be unconcerned with eating more than 1500 calories in a single, carb-heavy cholesterol-soaked meal. And if you're a real American, you shouldn't be." - Andrew C (✓) from Bookmarklet
"1. America treats poutine like it's a side dish or an appetizer. WRONG. [...] 2. America treats poutine like it's for special occasions. WRONG. [...] 3. America tries to "improve" upon poutine. WRONG." - Andrew C (✓)
"The above poutine from La Banquise in Montreal has bacon, grilled onions and peppers. It is great. But we American are not READY to add or take away any of the three main ingredients. We are trying to enter a cheat code to get ahead to the most advance levels of poutine, and when we get there, we fail." - Andrew C (✓)
La Banquise!! I love that place :) - Brent Schaus
I'm intimidated by poutine. I feel like I could have a couple or three bites and then I'd be good. Good for sharing, no? - Derrick
Cheat code - Eric - seven eleven
I honestly don't understand how people screw this up so often -- but then again, I don't understand people who put mayonnaise or corn on pizza either, or try to make spaghetti sauce with ketchup. Foods are often lost in translation, even when they shouldn't be. - Jennifer Dittrich
I am not sure my stomach is able to handle any version of this dish. - babeuf
Derrick: yeah, that's often the case. Sharing a poutine on a cold day is one of life's pleasures. But I've been known to wolf down a plate/bowl of poutine more than once. I'm pretty sure I'm not alone in that lol - Brent Schaus from iPhone
how people manage to eat (and even like!) this will remain a mystery for me. - grizabella
This thread is just making me crave this like mad :D - Jennifer Dittrich
i have a packet of poutine gravy mix in the pantry. *eyes* - holly #ravingfangirl
Now this makes me think about french fry po boys: French fries on a french roll with roast beef gravy and debris with cheese. Oof. - Derrick
GIMME DAT TOO. - holly #ravingfangirl
I wonder why LA reputedly has bad poutine. The carne asada fries are pretty good... - Andrew C (✓)
OMG, carne asada fries I grew up on in San Diego? I might have to try to recreate that. I wish I could find a good marinade recipe. - Derrick
I've tried poutine in Montreal but I didn't like all those ingredients together. Chili cheese fries are big here in Texas, but I'm not really a huge fan of those, either. - Trish R
If you have an In-N-Out handy, order the fries Animal Style. Not poutine, but similar philosophy. - Brian Johns
Yes, but INO's fries are not good. They're always too soggy (even if you don't order them animal style). But if you try ordering them 'extra crispy' or 'dark' or whatever the secret menu term is for double-frying, then they're finally crispy but dried out. - Andrew C (✓)
Plus, neither carne asada fries nor animal-style INO fries have the 'squeak' of poutine cheese curds. - Andrew C (✓)
I loved the poutine I got at Senate in Cincinnati. As for making it, myself, I wouldn't have the foggiest idea where to get the right cheese curds. - MiniMage

I was listening to a short piece this am on how PC sales have gone down overall for the first time. The market's going mobile. Yet I still don't see myself going entirely with that because digital audio, video editing and graphic design need more space and power than mobile currently has. - Spidra Webster
Once you get past a hunnert of anything, my mind is blown. - MoTO #TeamMonique
Some people say the slowdown in desktop/notebook sales is Windows 8's fault. - Victor Ganata
If you can find one, going back to work on a Mac 512k will give you real appreciation of how inefficient code has become. They did so much with so little back then. - Spidra Webster
I am still amazed that a GUI could run on a machine that only had, at most, 40k of RAM available for use. - Victor Ganata
512k? Luxury! Why my first computer had 48k and the first one I used had just 128 1-bit registers and a 2 character display and it had to walk uphill in the snow and soda cost a nickel and we hadn't invented color and and and yeah why doesn't my phone have a terabyte? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo from iPhone
32K on my first computer, no disk drive. - Eric - seven eleven
5k on mine and 3k of it held the OS. #getoffmylawn. ;) - Hieronymous Boosh
Where's my 1TB phone, America?! - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android
Being that one of the first terabyte USB sticks costs $3,400 and was released in January, you may have to wait another 12 months. - Eric - seven eleven
I still have a computer with RAM measured in KB. But yeah, 2TB is my minimum HD size now. I want 2TB SSD for $200 :D - Tinfoil 2.0
There's a terabyte SSD that's under $600 now http://www.computerworld.com/s... so maybe it's not that far away! - Victor Ganata
My mind is still blown by 4GB USB sticks! My first drive was 360KB and sent me back $1700, or about $6500 today. But it was worth it cuz I could play Hammurabi. :) - ʎəlɹoɯ uəʞ
My first computer had two floppy disk drives. Standard versions were 90KB each, but I sprang for the DOUBLE DENSITY option and had a cool 190KB each! 4 years later I had a HUGE 10MB hard disk to brag about. To follow up on Ken's comment, our first MASSIVE Hard disk was a 60MB Priam that needed a drive bay nearly 6" high and 10" deep. It cost over $6000 in 1986 (and that was a quantity price.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Has anyone here tried surfing the web or getting work done from a desktop PC that has only 64mb of RAM, in the last 5 years? Great way to find out just how bloated everything has become. - April Russo
64MB of RAM wasn't enough 10 years ago. - Eric - seven eleven

Waif and I are slowly breaking Wife down on getting a dog. Cross your fingers.
Oooh. Good luck! - SAM
Spock is ready for his new home. ;) - Anika from Android
*thinks moto should get a cat and a dog* - Sir Shuping is just sir
Thanks, Scott. I think this dog is more for me than Waif. I need a dog in my life right now. - MoTO #TeamMonique
Anika you love that dog and you know it. Andrew, I would love a cat but Wife does not care for them. Wife: "They're sneaky." Me: "Well yeah, they're cats. Though I prefer 'stealthy.'" Wife:"Perfume that pig all you want. We're not getting one." - MoTO #TeamMonique
LOL! Love it! *Fingers crossed* here :) - Lois Loves LB and Mr. B
Take Wife to a shelter secretly spray her with scent of Bacon and let the fun begin! - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Lord, Janet, I can hardly keep my hands off the woman now. Spray her with bacon and we'd never leave home. - MoTO #TeamMonique
HAH! - SteVe C
^ Awesome. - SAM
I had to explain my squeal and laugh. Damn, I should start my own Naughty Bacon Fragrance line. - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Loving this thread! And then I got a spam call on the landline from Boonville. They're making the military school kids do telemarketing? - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Also, the whole thing with cats is to get two, boys, who are littermates. We find boys are more doglike and affectionate than girls - based on our sample of one (Emily) who seems to wish she were an only cat. The boys are a constant show of wrestling and tumbling! But neuter them EARLY - apparently in New England they do microsurgery at 4-6 weeks. - Mary B: #TeamMonique
What do you need a dog for? - Eivind
Perhaps "need" is too strong. I definitely want a dog. I've always enjoyed having a one. I enjoy the company of dogs and I enjoy taking care of them. - MoTO #TeamMonique
I guess it takes all kinds :) - Eivind
You do not like dogs, Bre'er Eivind? - MoTO #TeamMonique
I wouldn't like to live with one, and I don't like it when people bring their dogs cross-country skiing. And I hate it when people don't pick up the turds after their dogs. I like to hang out with dogs on occasion, though :) - Eivind
Dogs never repeat the things you tell them. Dogs listen to your every woe and don't judge. - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
I can send you a couple. - Starmama from FFHound(roid)!
Bre'er Eivind: Like you said, "all kinds" Edit: And it sounds like you have more issues with the owners than the dogs, IMHO - MoTO #TeamMonique
I'm very excited! I want to hear all about the new dog, the process of choosing the new dog, etc. - maʀtha
I said, "slow-ly"... this may take a few more months. Though I'm hoping to make this happen by mid-summer. - MoTO #TeamMonique
Summertime is a good time to get a new doggle - easier for potty training before things get cold and folks go back to school. - ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤
My thoughts exactly, Coleen. - MoTO #TeamMonique

Giant Wasp Nest Housing Millions of Stingers Found in Abandoned House - http://www.odditycentral.com/news...
Giant Wasp Nest Housing Millions of Stingers Found in Abandoned House
Giant Wasp Nest Housing Millions of Stingers Found in Abandoned House
"The unusually large hive was discovered by local police officers after they had received numerous calls from concerned members of the community regarding large numbers of wasps swarming around an uninhabited house in San Sebastián de La Gomera. After breaking into the abandoned building they were shocked to discover a giant wasp nest in the hallway that experts say is home to millions of aggressive stingers. Measuring no less than 7 meters in size, the gargantuan structure doesn’t seem to have been built by the common type of wasp found in European gardens, but by an invasive species that must have migrated from Africa." - esther from Bookmarklet
I'm not terrified of wasps, but this would be too much for me... - esther
this looks so scary! - grizabella

Well, this is a first for me: the review I wrote of last weekend's opera just hit the stands. The baritone, whose performance as the villain I lauded, asked to friend me on Facebook. I was, like, "Luxembourg? I don't know anyone from Luxembourg!" :)
Took me a second to figure it out lol - Brent Schaus from iPhone

Kicking the tires on Mirantis Fuel product for Openstack. Definitely makes it easier. We'll see if downsizing the controller and compute VMs will help my 4GB iMac survive the normal 16GB RAM requirement.
The fuel-pm node definitely needs more than 512MB - looks like swapping causes timeouts in puppet. Bumping up to 1GB solved that problem. On to the next obstacle... - Kevin Johnson
I should be done setting up an instance. I do not rock very much this week. - Kevin Johnson
This exercise is part of a job interview. Three guesses how this is turning out... :-| - Kevin Johnson
Ugh... lack of sufficient ram is causing serious issues. Anything less than 1GB in a VM is causing serious swapping. Not good for virtual disks. Would seriously love to go buy a bigger machine, but that's not likely given the current employment status... :( - Kevin Johnson
Is this on a laptop or desktop? - Eric - seven eleven
On my 4GB iMac. - Kevin Johnson
I gave up getting Fuel up and running in my environment. Not enough RAM and my attempts to resolve other issues in the installation are taking too much time - impacting my job hunt. #fail - Kevin Johnson

Unless, of course, you want to be semifamous and have your picture used to push some garbage product or website without your knowledge.

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

Flipboard is a giant iceberg lurking in the path of the media http://6sen.se/12BR3AT
The problem xtill unsolved by Flipboard and ths rest, how do sites share teh wealth with the content providers, aggregators, curators who drive those eyeballs to the lovely ads? I put up a photo and a hundred peeps come to see and I get....? Unless blogger, photographers etc get paid, the content drys up and blows away. And content is all - WarLord
I wonder if some payment mechanism could be devised to reward URLs (and their owners) by number of times clicked on. There may be a huge business opportunity there. - Sean McBride

"The American Badger is a fossorial carnivore. It preys predominantly on (pocket gophers (Geomyidae) http://wdfw.wa.gov/living... , http://www.ipm.ucdavis.edu/PMG... , 2 -13 http://www.wa-hay.org/Proceed... ), ground squirrels (Spermophilus), moles (Talpidae), marmots (Marmota), prairie dogs (Cynomys), pika (Ochotona), woodrats (Neotoma), kangaroo rats (Dipodomys), deer mice (Peromyscus), and voles (Microtus), often digging to pursue prey into their dens, and sometimes plugging tunnel entrances with objects" - Thomas Page from Bookmarklet

As food Although rarely eaten today in the United States or the United Kingdom,[18] badger was once one of the main meat sources in the diets of Native Americans and white colonists.[19][20][21][22][23] Badgers were also eaten in Britain during World War II and the 1950s.[20] In Russia, the consumption of badger meat is still widespread.[24] Badger, along with dog and pork, shish kebabs... more... - Thomas Page

I think the only realistic way to avoid spoilers is to turn off the Internet until you watch/read whatever you don't want spoiled. Because the more you complain about spoilers, the more you're going to get trolled by spoilers.
Lincoln dies in the end. - SteVe C
I think it's funny that people still complain about it. It's such a egocentric way to live. Even with my husband we accidentally give details. It happens. There's more serious things to worry about. - Anika
"I think the only realistic way to avoid [horrible thing] is to [completely avoid something most people use and enjoy]." Really? - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
It works. The only realistic way for me to avoid Tom Cruise is to not go to movies. Done! Easy peasy! - Anika
Hah! And I agree there are more serious things to worry about. But there's always going to be far more content that I haven't seen than content I have seen. I personally try not to spoil stuff. If I saw someone who intentionally trolls with spoilers a lot, I guess I'd block that person. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
The only realistic way to avoid [horrible thing] is to completely avoid exposure to [horrible thing]. Quarantines and jury sequestration are no fun and people hate them, but they work! :) - Victor Ganata

Fortunately with Google Glass a spoiler system will be aware of what you have seen, parse everything you see, and filter out any spoilers. The future is safe. - Todd Hoff

I have been knitting for 5 hours. This pleases me.
Socks for me please. Size 9 -- will supply address to send them to on request. - Brian Sullivan
Brian, if you send me your addy and are willing to wait for this and a hat to be finished, i will totally do that for you. Oh, and a color preference. - Mary Carmen
I was joking -- my wife is already on the case -- I think she has finished one already. But there is nothing better than hand knit socks so there might be other takers. - Brian Sullivan
