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
@Cee Bee I think you meant 0.62 - ◄ani625Ξ ಠ_ಠ
1.27 (902/705) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨
yes, thanks for the correction. lindsay, you're making me feel bad. lol - Cee Bee
0.8576, I only like mostly when I'm going to comment - Molly Song ;)
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
.37 1002/2708 - Michael Fidler
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
1316 comments/20221 likes (0.06), according to Windows Calculator, although I probably screwed up. - Tyson Key
*bump* - Micah
Thanks, Mark! - Micah
Thanks Spidra! - Micah
0.95 (1520/1604) - it's 2+ months later, and my ratio flipped (more Likes by .05) - Micah
.7 (1204/1724) - before this comment at least. - Rachel Lea Fox
Thanks, Rachel! - Micah
3.46 (3665/1057) before this comment and like. - Kevin Fox

I've got stuff to say. - Kevin Fox
3.98 (900/226) - Richard Lawler
1.02 (3538/3484) for sofarsofarshaun - Micah

2.63 - Bryce Roney
Thanks for joining in, Bryce. - Micah
.15 all time, .13 this week. - Pixie
Thank you, Alix and David! (and Alix, you're tied with Siavash for the Highest Like ratio. Wow). - 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
this week = 0.45%, alltime = 6.43% - chaz2b
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
816 / 2502 = 0.326139089 overall | 50 / 233 = 0.214592275 this week I like much more than I comment. (maths via google) - Chris Loft
3026/5013 = 0.6036 - Roger Chen
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
2.94 1040/354 I have likes set to post to twitter automatically, so I'm careful with them. :) - guruvan (Rob Nelson)
0.85 - Steven Perez
0.73 up from 0.66 on Jan 08 - ɐ ɯıʞ sıɹɥɔ
0.37 for the week past, 0.45 on the whole. - Parth Awasthi
Michael, Anthony, Ahsan, guruvan Steven, sıɹɥɔ and Parth - thanks for dropping in your stats! - Micah
5.81 i'm not using it as does everyone else here. that is fer sure. - Marg Uerite
Ahsan, huh, I'd never considered that. - Micah
17942/30571=.59 - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Alex, thank you, sir. - Micah
ALmost 2:1 exactly. - Amani
Much obliged, Amani. - Micah
3062/5777 you do the maths. - Will Higgins™
.53 (3062/5777) for Will Higgins #math-on-demand-services - Micah
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
1.021276595744680851063829787234042553191489361702127659... via Wolfram Alpha - tom murphy
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
1.88 (779/414) - Ton Zijp
Thanks, Ton. - Micah
0.43 (3597/8305). - Parth Awasthi
0.74 (1970/2667) - In Search of Gender
And thank you Parth, Scott. - Micah
Parth, compared to your April numbers, you've been consistent. - Micah
2.12 is my ratio. - Rick Cogley
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
1.82 from 798 comments / 438 likes - David Damore
Thanks, nivé and David! - Micah
2027/1594 = 1.27 - Brome
0.58 - Marc Dong
2.9 (3,242/1,116) mhhh.. time to straighten my use of FF a bit.. thanks for this entry - Thierry R. Andriamirado
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
Thanks, Laura! (you're a 50-caliber gal!) - Micah
0.64 - Imabug
Thank you, Imabug. - Micah

Thanks Imabug, directeur, Steven, RAPatton, Jim, Brent and metalerik! - Micah
.83 - Jimminy
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
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
2.67 (875/328) - Nathalie
Thank you, Nathalie! - Micah
Thanks, Spidra and Mark! - Micah
0.49 - Jammy Lee
Jammy and Mathew, thank you very much. - Micah
I don't know I just like that picture - Brian Hendrickson
.40 - Ben Hanten
Mine was exactly 2:1 about a week ago. Did a screenshot when I had 2,000 comments and 1,000 likes. - OMG 404 Joe from iPod
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
When I first saw this: 1.91 Sept 28: 1.94 - MiniMage
536 comments in the last month has me at .8736...still creeping toward 1.00 - Bren
Thanks, MiniMage (2x participant!), Bren (3x!) and Shannon (your inaugural visit!) - Micah
Thank you, SustainedEuphoria. - Micah
Thanks, Mark. - Micah
1.45 - Brett Kelly
Thanks, Brett :) - Micah
5.67 all time. Second highest ratio on here. Woot! I love to talk. - Kevin L
Thank you both, Kevin and mridul (the two of you balance it each well :) - Micah
1.80 (10,189 / 5,666) [compared to Likes, my Comments still continue to rise] - Micah
1.02 (10323/10161) - Bren
.5666 currently (30,084/53,093) - Scoble, Alex Scoble
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
1.19 - Joe Bonner
Micah this is like 11 months ago, I see you have almost doubled your rate. lets make a graph for everybody now, :) - ۳۰ مرغ Loves Y'ALLLLL
Quick, someone write a greasemonkey script to inline some google charts! (tap-tap-tap...wut? don't look at me ;) - Micah
Thanks, Joe. And you thank you, Mahmood :) - Micah

Jenny, resistance is futile; embrace the rising tide of comments. - Micah
Comments are more difficult and time consuming than Likes. I'd be happy about a high comment:likes ratio except that many are surely imported from feeds, while every Like is manual. - Mike Chelen

Is it normal to find greasy white flecks in cans of black olives?
_IGP4393.JPG
Show all
Yes. It's a symbol from nature that black olives are horrible and should not be consumed by any man or beast. - Akiva
I don't do olives of any colour. I can't help you. - Micah from iPhone
Is it kinda like filmy white flecks, mostly in the water/marinade stuff? - Headless Gnad Kicker
There's a film above the water line that is probably the same stuff. But some of the flecks are opaque white. - Bruce Lewis
Olives have a lot of oil/fat that congeals in liquid. 1DOWN Akiva: I love black olives. - Bubba da Troll
Yes. I think it's part of the brine. I find them in green olives too. - Anika
I thought it might be congealed oil, but I've opened lots of cans of black olives and hadn't seen it before. We ended up using a different can. - Bruce Lewis
Be sure to wear them on your fingers. They are much better with fingers. - Jesse Stay
We've been making tacos every week lately, so our black olive intake has increased. - Bruce Lewis
What Jesse said - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I sometimes have that stuff in jarred olives. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Melly that's reassuring. Especially since I JUST ATE SOME OFF MY FINGERS! - Bruce Lewis
What Akiva said. - Shey
+ Bubba - Melanie Reed
But seriously, go to an olive bar and get olives. Much better. - Melanie Reed
What Jesse said. As a kid I called them "finger olives." - Shannon Jiménez
Shannon, see the companion post: http://friendfeed.com/brlewis... - Bruce Lewis
Cristo, all of your elitism cannot hide the fact that black olives cause cancer. - Akiva
Also, what do tacos and black olives have to do with each other? - Laura Norvig from iPod
Laura, everybody knows you can't have authentic Mexican tacos without Italian olives. - Bruce Lewis
Hey, I already apologized for all of that bowel cancer. And the colon cancer. What can I say? I was on a roll. - Akiva
Thank you Melly for the info, and thank you Facebook for keeping FriendFeed search up so I could find this 16 months later. - Bruce Lewis

Anyone ever play the movie game? (Name a film, then an actor in that film, then another film that actor was in, etc. without ever repeating any.) I used to play with friends, but now don't have any that will. :/ I remember one thread that went for WEEKS. We had a spreadsheet by the end to keep track of what had already been said. We = dorks.
It's almost like a continuous six degrees of separation. I like to do this with music. - Tinfoil 2.0
I'd play! Love movies and games! - Paulette
Why not start here? Spaceballs, Rick Moranis - Jimminy
Yeah, LogEx, exactly like that, except without the need to get to any specific point in a limited time. Six Degrees stresses me out (though we used to do that too, but not with Kevin Bacon - just pick two people and see how many close we could get them). How do you do it with music? - Jandy
Rick Moranis, Ghostbusters. (gonna put the previous one in, so we don't get confused if there are overlapping comments.) - Jandy
Jandy, either find a path from one song to another (via artist, title/cover, bandmates, etc., valid parameters to be agreed upon), or string together a playlist by changing only one element each step. - Tinfoil 2.0
Ghostbusters, Sigourney Weaver - Paulette
Sigourney Weaver, Avatar - Tinfoil 2.0
Avatar, Zoe Saldana - Jandy
What's the penalty for getting one wrong? - Tinfoil 2.0
Uh....we never had one. We just went back to the last correct one when someone called us on the wrong one. - Jandy
Can we do tv shows, too? Because then I can play! - Lis
By the strict rules, no - only movies, and only actors/actresses. We used to play house rules, though, that let us do TV shows if necessary and other crew if necessary. Not, like, going on IMDb and using the third grip, but you know, directors/screenwriters, that sort of thing. Well-known people. I have no problem with using TV shows, but I'd like not to get stuck in TV world - i.e., use TV actors who also have decent movie credits. - Jandy
Zoe Saldana - Crossroads (Please let me be remembering this right, I can't lose on my first turn!) - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
IMDb vindicates you, Joe. But I don't know the film, and I'm not clicking through and cheating, so let's see if someone else knows what to follow that with. - Jandy
I've never seen it, but I looked up Zoe after Star Trek...for research - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Uh-huh. Is that what they're calling it these days? - Jandy
Glen, not sure we've established the rules for strip movie game yet. - Jandy
Crossroads, Britney Spears? - Jimminy
Game over. - Rodfather
Yeah, I held out, but is there really any where to go once you hit Crossroads. Apparently there are plenty. - Jimminy
Britney Spears - Austin Powers: Goldmember. BOOM! - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
NICE. Goldmember - Verne Troyer. - Jandy
It's so hard not to cheat :p - Rodfather
Oh man, if we were doing TV shows I would have an awesome one...someone else can field the next Troyer flick though...2 easy ones come to mind immediately. - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Harry Potter - Alan Rickman - Bren
Alan Rickman - Galaxy Quest - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Galaxy Quest - Sig...NOPE. Fine, Tim Allen. Yes, Rodfather, it is hard not to cheat. :) - Jandy
The Santa Clause - David Krumholtz - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
David Krumholtz - SERENITY. EFF YEAH. - Jandy
I was hoping someone would pick that one! ...if only I could think of another actor from it...hmmm - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Don't strain yourself, Joe. - Jandy
Serenity - Chiwetel Ejiofor (spelling may not be 100%) - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
did I kill the game? Should I re-choose? - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Way to go, you picked potentially the only person in the film that I couldn't immediately think of a follow-up for. Especially if we're allowing TV shows. See if someone else can, though. - Jandy
I can think of at least 3 right off hand! But the one I would use probably Would kill it dead. - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce

I want to say ... Tamala Jones - The Ladies Man...but somebody may want to make sure I'm not making that up - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce

That was very dangerously close to a guess. I may be out of my league too. ...I'm scared - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce

Shevonne
"A loaded backpack shouldn't exceed 10% of a child's body weight, according to recommendations from the American Occupational Therapy Association Inc., a professional group that sponsors a National School Backpack Awareness Day each fall. That means, for instance, a 100-pound teen should only be hauling 10 pounds. In reality, the average child carries about 22% of his or her body weight, according to the American Chiropractic Association. That's more than twice the recommended amount." - Shevonne from Bookmarklet
In middle school I had every class, every day, which meant every book back and forth everyday. - Heather
I think each book I had weighed about 10 pounds. Times 5-6 classes... - Rochelle
in high school my locker was on the other side of the campus from ALL of my classes. i think i opened it 5 times in 3 years. i carried all my books and supplies everywhere in a large duffle bag. - Unholy Joe Silence
I carried all my books in my backpack all through middle school and high school. I ended up with pretty bad scoliosis as a result. :-( - DB, Just DB #TeamMonique
@DB =( - Shevonne
The only books I ever carried in primary school were library books or the occasional book for homework. We kept all our books in our desks at school. In high school we were given time to go to our lockers before morning classes, after recess, and after lunch, so I never had to carry more than 3 lessons worth of books at a time, not counting taking books home for homework. - Headless Gnad Kicker
By the time my last child hit middle school, the school district had purchased sets of textbooks for the classrooms and other sets for the students to keep at home. Our local orthopedists had joined the parents in raising this issue. - Anne Bouey
I briefly used a folding luggage cart for my bookbag in high school. Me == ahead of the times. - Andrew C (✓)

What is the proper procedure when mail is coming to your house that ain't yours?
Circle or highlight the part of the address that's incorrect and put it back in the mailbox. Unless you know who's mail it is and want to get it to them directly. - Heather
If the address is near you, hand it to them. If it isn't, just write "Wrong Address" on it and put it back in the mailbox. - Shevonne

It's addressed to my house, but for previous tenants, I guess. - Rahsheen
refuse and send it back to sender.. - Peter Dawson
Oh. What Peter said. - Shevonne
If it looks important, I write "No longer at this address" and put it back for the mailperson. Otherwise I toss it. - Shannon Jiménez
I keep propping it up in the mailbox and putting th eflag up, but it seems like the mailman grabs it when he feels like it. LOL - Rahsheen

well that was a pretty weak finale #sytycd
Agreed. The routines weren't so good. And when they were bad, they were almost embarrassingly bad - Tamara
I have to agree, though I'm glad the judges didn't try to blow sunshine, showing more candor than usual (except for the guest judges, most of whom never felt comfortable giving critical feedback). - Kevin Fox
In other news, I think Melanie is going to take this in a walk. - Kevin Fox
Kevin, I think you're right, though I personally prefer Sasha. - chrisofspades
I'm between Melanie and Sasha, and I think one of them will win for sure. I thought last night had a couple of the worst dances of the season (that starting disco number was AWFUL), which was disappointing for the finale. - Shannon Jiménez

So HP7 today. Should I pay the extra for 3d?
3D sucks. At least it does for us as a family. We find it distracting. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
we have a LIMAX theatre too. Just wondering if it's worth the $$ - Gunnyman™
I saw it in 2D and there was never a point that I wished it was 3D. - tab
I'd say no, but it has more to do with not being a 3D fan than knowing how it affects this particular movie. - Shannon - GlassMistress
It's been recommend to not see it in 3D as the film is already fairly dark and 3D makes it darker, and there is little in the film that lends itself to being in 3D. - Hookuh Tinypants
I saw it in 3D because those were the available tickets. It would have been fine in 2D, but the 3D didn't distract me or anything. - Shannon Jiménez
I saw it in 3D and there was never a point where I was impressed with the 3D or glad that I was seeing it in 3D. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I saw it in 2D and didn't miss anything. Looked great. - Steve and 4 other people
The reviews I've read say that 3D adds nothing and was all post production after the movie was shot. - Eric - Too Hot
2D! - Chris Topher
Just got back saw it in 2D. Great movie :) - Gunnyman™
Rachel Lea Fox
I'm a little annoyed at the judges. I think they are being awful easy on some of the contestants. They were judging Jordan and they were purposely avoiding talking about her legs during the dance and kept drawing attention to how she used her arms. It was a waltz, you can't avoid how she used her feet. And my opinion, she was TROMPING through her..
... dance. Her stance was too far apart and you could see in her hips how tromp tromp tromp she was going. It was not elegant. Only Travis is being even close to honest with most of the contestants. *sighs* - Rachel Lea Fox
I haven't watched today's yet, but I know what you mean. The first show was such a love-fest that I was worried that they had somehow banned negative comments this season. - Shannon Jiménez
I'm okay if they are a little easy the first episode or so to ease the dancers in, but that should be over by now. And really I think they are playing favorites. They seem to lay into a few of them who barely deserve it and then be easy on someone who wasn't so great. - Rachel Lea Fox from iPhone
Aren't they that way every season? They don't criticize their favorites as much as some of the others. - Katy S
Damn it missed another week. :( - SteVe C
Katy, the do do this every year but for some reason last night seemed more blatent than usual. I think it was because it was a waltz where most emphasis is on the foot work than many dances and the footwork was SO BAD it was hard to ignore to ignore and yet they did. Maybe it is because I have done a decent amount of social ballroom dancing, but I've also experienced and worked tech... more... - Rachel Lea Fox
SteVe, the dances are up as clips on their site: http://www.fox.com/dance... - Rachel Lea Fox
I've really felt like that all this season - a few seasons ago, there would've been some healthy criticism thrown in there. I feel like it has gone a bit mooshy. - Jennifer Dittrich
I haven't seen tonight's show yet, it's only 6pm here! - Rachel Lea Fox

Which American accent do you have? http://www.youthink.com/quiz...
Capture.PNG
*waits for the non-Americans to answer* - Alex Scrivener
Neutral --> - Derrick
shockingly, Western. - holly #ravingfangirl
Neutral. - Jennifer Dittrich
Northeastern. - Mark H
A linguist once told me that standard Californian (like what they use on newscasts, and not "Surfer" or "Valley") is actually neutral. - Victor Ganata
My cousins in Memphis were always taken back by my "accent" just as much as I was with their's. - Derrick
Neutral....But I suspect that I have a little Southern twang... - CarlC, spelling expert
I brokes it. On doesn't rhyme with Lawn or John. Edit: I got Neutral, after lying about that one. - Jimminy
Neutral?!? That's wicked bazaah. - Heather
"Neutral", or whatever they call it, is really Midwestern. That's what I have, with extra "corn" due to my years growing up in Minnesota. - Dennis Jernberg
I'm English, so, er, Boston, I guess. That's about the closest, accent-wise, right? I mean, a lot of us elongate our "a" sounds too :-) - Slippy like shiny things.
Take the test, see what happens. - Alex Scrivener
Huh, it gave me Southern. I usually get Midwestern/Neutral. Oh, if I change the "does 'I' ever sound like 'ah'" to never, then I get Neutral. I guess I got a bit of the "ah" sound from my mom. Don't do it all the time, but sometimes. - Jandy
Neutral for me. What accent would you have to have in order to think that bag and vague rhyme? - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
I think northern Midwest has the bag-vague similarity - Wisconsin, maybe Chicago. I've known people from Chicago who said "bage" for "bag", but I don't recall if they were from there originally. - Jandy
Oh. There's a test? I suck at tests. Took an IQ test last month. Apparently, I failed. [edit] seriously though, Imma try this out for funsies - Slippy like shiny things.
So, it would seem that North London English equates to what the site calls a "Northeastern" accent, apparently. That appears to mean the eastern 2/3 of NYC (Jersey, but not NJ), the southeastern bit of New York State, most of Connecticut, and a place called "Providence". - Slippy like shiny things.
Neutral. I'm told that when upset my accent picks up a southern lilt which I blame entirely on my family. - Kisha
Mid-Atlantic all the way. As in Philadelphia and Baltimore. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Mid-Atlantic here. - Janet:#TeamMonique from iPhone
Test says Northern; Americans usually say my accent is Californian with a touch of Canadian. - Andrew C (✓)
I got neutral. - Corinne L
Neutral. Not surprised. I live on west coast and have always lived here. - Rochelle
I'm still stuck on "On" sounding like "Lawn" or "John". I just picked one, and I got "Southern". - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
"Northern You have a Northern accent. That could either be the Chicago/Detroit/Cleveland/ Buffalo accent (easily recognizable) or the Western New England accent that news networks go for" :) But I don't call them Da Bears. I say the correctly. :P - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android
Southern. Big surprise. - Trish R
It correctly says I have a Western accent. - Shannon Jiménez
Ha3rvey. I couldn't answer that one, either. "On" sounds like "Tone" or "Own" when I say it. - Trish R
Same here, Trish. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
It's usually my Ts which sound like Ds, my dropped Gs, and my occasional Rs that sound like "uhs" that let people know where I'm from. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Victor, that's what I've always heard and read as well. But I scored as Western on this test. Born and raised in CA. - Spidra Webster
I got Neutral. I'm a little surprised as I grew up in Denver, Colorado, so I expected to get Western. I've lived in California a long time though. Incidentally, a surprising number of people (including one Englishwoman) have asked me if I'm English. - Ruchira S. Datta
I am WESTERN - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Neutral here. I'm mildly surprised that I didn't get Mid-Atlantic since I'm from Baltimore. Must be the 8 years in SC that evened it out. - ryan from iPhone
Northeastern, which is accurate. - Greg Schwartz
I got Canadian, which tells me I did not answer a question correctly, as I live and grew up in Northern California. Though I was born in Mexico, but I would think that would produce a different accent. - Dario Gomez
Actually, I got Northeastern. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Neutral - Rodfather
That fark-fork thing, Mark? In my experience, not MO generally - just St. Louis. I HOPE I don't do it. - Mary B: #TeamMonique from iPhone
I got Northern also. I love the bit about "the Western New England accent that news networks go for" -- that just sounds like one pronounces words clearly and distinctly so they can be understood. :-) - Ordinarybug Heather
It said Northern, but mine changes with the crowd and mindset. Northern/Neutral/Southern/Canadian... - Michael W. May
I was expecting Minnesotan, but it correctly pegged me as Canadian (what accent, eh?) - Ken Morley
Neutral. - Jenthemum

We're getting our first IKEA soon. I've never been, what's the scoop?
Go for lunch, stay for the exercise and short pencils. - SteVe C
If at all possible, go on a weekday and not a weekend. At least here, there are about 10 million extra people there on the weekends and parking is terrible. - Rochelle
almond cake - esther
You don't have to follow the showroom path (and the scads of people with carts that inexplicably walk them through there in large groups) -- there are always shortcuts between sections. The first half is usually the showroom, the second where they have housewares (which is why you don't need a cart in the first half.) There's a restaurant at the mid-point with a bunch of carts to take. - Jennifer Dittrich
oh, and having big fun with the product-names... - esther
I really like all of the small stuff they have (storage containers, kitchen tools, kids toys, houseplants, etc.). - Rochelle
CW summed it up perfectly. Also important: leave the credit card at home. - Josh Haley
Wow, so it's not just furniture? I'm hoping to look at a dining room table at some point and was waiting to see what IKEA had. They open in July. http://www.denverpost.com/search.... - Eric - Too Hot
I don't think I've ever bought any furniture there. Just housewares and things. I like their wrapping paper, too. - Rochelle
oh IEKA. one is 3 people were conceived in an IKEA Bed.. join da happy family :)- - Peter Dawson
Everything we ever bought from there quickly broke. I personally think it's the most cheaply made crap on the planet. I also find it ugly. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
I have had better success than Stephen but i have only bought a few things, the only reason i like it is for the light wood. IN fact I have bought a table from there just to take the top and make it into a cabinet top over the laundry. - SteVe C

Look up "Ikea hacking" if you like to spiff up the stuff so it's not so simple or to reinforce. The smaller things like picture frames and housewares are the best bang for your buck. They sell food like frozen meatballs and lingon berry jam -after- the checkout. You will need to at least stop for a drink if not a bite to eat, the place could take up an entire day if you wanted. - Heather
I've bought furniture there. Just small things though. And the cafe is excellent. - #cryptic from FFHound(roid)!
I feel like I'm missing out on the food or something after reading the comments. I've been to Ikea many many times but I've never eaten at the restaurant. - Rochelle
I have lots of Ikea furniture. It's not like I'll be passing it down to my grandchildren, but it holds up pretty well. My coffee table and TV stand are about 7 years old and no worse for wear. I don't have kids, though, which probably would make a difference with something like a coffee table! If you're like me, the first time you go you'll find a zillion things you want. Nowadays I can zip through because I'm looking for something specific and I've seen the rest before. Bring a big car for all the boxes! - Shannon Jiménez
My favorite IKEA item: ODDVAR stool. $10 each. I have around 15 of them. I use them as side tables, plant stands, kids' seating, and extra seating when I have more guests than usual. - Amit Patel
1st thing you should know about IKEA: Don't go without your wife! Keep that in mind and all is good :) - Elena

Most 3D films give me splitting headaches. The only one that didn't was TRON:Legacy. - Jonathan Hardesty
Yep - Requiem for a Dream in parts, Food Inc., (several documentaries really) - SAM
My first IMAX movie when I was a kid. - Lola Bean (Penguin) from iPhone
Trainspotting. - Bren
IMAX as a kid? GET OFF MY LAWN! - SAM
Almost. The end scene of Pink Flamingos. - Rodfather
Blair Witch Project. - Jenny H from Android
Dawn of the Dead. Made my friend turn it off. - Just Kidée: Road Warrior
No and I've seen some of the ones listed here. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
Dancer in the Dark. Was sitting too close. - Derrick
no... closest would be Blackhawk Down which was a little too real for comfort - Michael W. May
Saving Private Ryan - t-ra: confounded
Nope. - Alejandro
Yes American History X almost made me vomit - SteVe C
Yes both to the end of Pink Flamingos (gag) and a certain scene in American History X. Just thinking about American History X is upsetting and makes me feel ill. I suspect Human Centipede might as well but I'm not brave enough to chance it. - adf
The closest I remember, is the bottle bashing scene from Pan's Labyrinth, I still get really queasy watching it. - Jimminy
8 1/2. I tried to vomit to make it entertaining. - James Ferguson
I had to leave the theater during Blair Witch Project. But I am somewhat prone to motion sickness. - Shannon Jiménez
Apparently several people who saw that one about the guy who had to cut his arm off. I didn't see it, though. - Laura Norvig
Laura: I saw that one. Didn't feel that way. And I thought I would. For some reason, I think knowing that was going to happen ahead of time made it okay. Or maybe because it seemed totally feasible. - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Blair Witch Project made me physically nauseous (the first and only time that has happened - I'm not prone to motion sickness at all) and occasionally quick-cut chase scenes (Bourne movies) give me a fierce headache. I was sitting in the back of the theater for BW, and usually middle for just about anything else. - Jennifer Dittrich
Halo has made me vomit before too, eyes couldn't take it. I haven't played again. I can be taught. - SteVe C
Clockwork Orange - comix aka martha
Anything at IMAX makes me slightly nauseous and gives me a headache. - Rochelle
Human Centipede http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... -- It made me throw up a lil in my mouth. - Mathew A. Koeneker
ewww, Mathew, one of my co-workers was talking about the Human Centipede. I couldn't even stay for the verbal description. WTH? - Laura Norvig
The movie was just wrong from start to finish. It redefined horror for me at least. - Mathew A. Koeneker
Kevin L
Fold your hands. Which thumb is on top: your dominant hand (right if you're right-handed, left if left-handed) or non-dominant?
Mine is dominant (right) - Kevin L
I'm right-handed but my left hand's thumb was on top. WHAT DOES IT MEAN? - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
What Zulema said! - The LB: #TeamMonique
right-handed, left thumb on top. - WebGoddess
Non-dominant - Just Kidée: Road Warrior
Non-dominant - jtf
Non-dominant - Lisa | #TeamMonique
So far I'm the only dominant-on-top. I must be a freak :P - Kevin L
Dominant (left). we're both freaks. :) - Hookuh Tinypants
It feels wrong to fold my hands like that.... huh. Again I ask: WHAT DOES IT MEAN? :p - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
I am with Zu...right-handed with left over right. - JA Castillo
It means you and I would not make good hand-holding partners, Zulema ;) - Kevin L
Slightly more people than average will have their left thumb on top (40-75% in studies) although there is not actually a consistent dominant left-thumb group. Also left-over-right is supposedly more common in Caucasian populations. (it appears to mean nothing beyond that) - jtf
Non-dominant - Mark H
Feels most "right" with my thumb on top, but it feels more right to have my thumbs both straight up or something else a bit more symmetrical. - Rahsheen
I think I need to sketch this out, I'm getting confused.... Kevin's left-non-dominant hand in my right-non-dominant hand? Is that right? - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
Non-dominant. I'm right-handed but my left thumb has to be on top. - Rochelle
Zu, if your left hand were in my right hand both would "want" to be on top. Of course, I find the same dynamic isn't there when folding my hand with someone else's. - Kevin L
non-dominant as well - comix aka martha
Huh, odd. I don't usually hold hands with someone by folding all fingers together but it's probably still the same issue. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart
non dominant - SteVe C
non-dominant (L) - Shannon Jiménez
3-13 dominant to non-dominant (unless Rahsheen is left-handed). - Kevin L
I don't know how to fold my hands. *cries* - Jimminy
I'd take a pic for you Jimminy, but it's hard to do with your hands folded. - Kevin L
Is it like interlocking fingers. Or praying. Something different. - Jimminy
Yes. - Kevin L
What? Which one? - Jimminy
It doesn't matter, praying and interlocking, my right thumb was higher, which would be my "dominant." - Jimminy
Non. - Pixie
non -- left - Brian Sullivan
Dominant (R). - Jenny H
Dominant right here as well. - SAM from iPhone
Non-dominant - Lola Bean (Penguin) from iPod
Neither. They sit side-by-side. - Steven Perez
How is dominance determined? I write with my left hand but throw balls and frisbees with my right. - Jack&Cleo
Okay, my left thumb ("nondom") was on top naturally. I switched it and it just felt wrong. - Curtis (a) Jackson
non-dominant - April Russo
non-dominant - Shevonne
non-dominant. - Jandy
Non-dominant (right) - Tamara J.

re; this thread http://ff.im/BjZee : answers for the Playboy's Breast Test [NSFW]
Playboy Breast Test - Answers.png
*dead* at "answers". - Derrick
The two I missed were ones I thought were enhanced but were actually natural. What does that mean? - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Thanks :P My theory of using the nipples' location as a guide is way off apparently. Hmmm. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android
Some enhancements are obviously done well (and mimic reality since it's hard to tell one from another). - Curtis (a) Jackson
Nipple location is significant, but obvious scars make it easy. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Yeah surgeons are getting better at making incisions and hiding it under the breast/bra line. - Zulema ❧ spicy cocoa tart from Android
Oh, I missed the first two on the third row. - Rochelle
I missed the first and third on the third row. As for the first-- people really have nipples that high?? - Shannon Jiménez

Question: How many hours of TV do you watch per week? And what do you watch (&/or find particularly good)?
Question: How many hours of TV do you watch per week? And what do you watch (&/or find particularly good)?
So myself. I've been trying to watch more TV lately (reading is bad for you, don't sit too close to the Kindle or book, really it just lends itself to out of touch snobbery) but I'm finding there's nothing on or rather nothing which I find particularly interesting. Anyways, I watch approximately 2-4 hours per week. As to what, miscellaneous stuff, mostly *whispers* mostly reality TV need some suggestions badly please :) - sofarsoShawn
I used to watch a lot of TV. Had shows almost every night. And then, last fall, something clicked in me and I lost almost all interest. I'll occasionally watch an episode of Mythbusters if it happens to come on and I'm a sucker for shows about World War II and astronomy/astrophysics. Also, I still enjoy any show where Gordan Ramsay yells at people (although last season's Hell's Kitchen... more... - Akiva
Less than 10, more than 3? That's about as close as I can get it. Depends on what's going on I guess. Wife likes "Chopped" so we catch that every week. I catch a couple of shows off Hulu every week. Other than that it's the odd sporting event and/or movie. Also: I like Fringe too. - MoTO #TeamMonique
I'm kind of along the same lines of Akiva. I used to have a ton of shows I watched, moreso than usual because of my TiVo. And then I just hit a wall and lost all desire to really watch TV. I had entire seasons of shows on my TiVo that I just deleted without ever watching. At this point I probably watch less than 2 hours of TV a week. Easily. And of that, it's more than likely cooking or... more... - Hookuh Tinypants
It rotates, but right now it is Archer+Community+30 Rock+Simpsons+Fringe+Young Justice = 3.5 hours, but only if they are new. Might average 2/3rds a movie per week at home, but I never channel surf or turn on the TV just to see what is on. - RAPatton
2 hours, if I even have time. - Morton Fox
A week? Three or four? Fringe, Justified, Modern Family, Glee, maybe the Simpsons? Used to watch a lot more back in California. School keeps me much too busy now, but I listen to a lot of music, probably even more than before. - Derrick
I'm pretty much echo both Tinypants and Akiva, I just don't find it interesting anymore, no matter how many channels. The scripted dramas I've seen seem overly staged, unrealistic and fake, never mind sitcoms. So my 2-4 hours comes from watching the Food Network, Joisy Shore (now over :( & stuff on Greek/Roman History (History or Discovery), and now hockey games. I've tried marathoning... more... - sofarsoShawn
Hardly any although the TV may be on. Usually ESPN and sports are on. Or CNN. - Rodfather
Oh, and yeah, now that the elections are on, I'm watching CBC more, though it generally just pisses me off, mostly due to Harper's Conservatives. Their arrogance is startling, especially during the non-con vote. But I must do my civic duty, inform myself and vote of course. - sofarsoShawn
much to much ..alot of Animal Planet,all CSIs,NCIS',Criminal Minds, THe First 48 I go to sleep by. - VALZ/TT/TM
Hmm..hard to say but i guess maybe 5 hours. The Event just started here and already hooked to it :) - Neya from iPhone
I don't watch tv anymore. Unless you count the Daily Show subscription that I watch during commutes. - ronin from Android
Nothing current. I just started watching old Prison Break episodes streaming from Netflix on my iPad, though. If not for that, occasionally, nunce per week. - Martha
About 1 hour a week. I like "The Middle", but that show isn't for everybody. - Bruce Lewis
About 0. - Jim #TeamMonique
Yeah, I'm currently at 0 myself, but thanks for all the input/good suggestions! I'm definitely going to check some out. Though, seems like there's an all round general malaise when it comes to TV programming. - sofarsoShawn
Lessee. Of currently airing shows this month: Bob's Burgers on Sunday, Mad Love and Chuck on Monday (both guilty pleasures I can't recommend), just started Body of Proof on Tuesdays even though I'm not much for procedurals, Top Chef, Mr Sunshine, Cougar Town and Modern Family on Wednesdays, Community, Parks and Rec, 30 Rock on Thursdays. Future shows: Futurama, Top Chef Canada, Walking... more... - Andrew C (✓)
About two hours per night, mostly DVR stuff so we can go by the commercials. NCIS, Justified, Fringe, Criminal Minds, and a lot of stuff on the Investigative Detective channel. - Janet:#TeamMonique
None. Shows? Law & Order SVU and V. - Zu from AOD from iPhone
Whoaaaaa, there's a Top Chef Canada, I'm there tuning in. And Bob's Burgers is that starring Flay?!?! Aside just from those two, BIG thx Andrew C, you have the whole week scheduled :) Like Janet can't put up with the commercials and do the DVR as well, Criminal Minds I have to check out now too. But when it comes to the Law & Orders/CSI's or NCIS's I've had my fill lonnnnnng ago, to myself they just seem played out and predictable especially with the strictly uniform plot structure. - sofarsoShawn
TV...that's the thing that allows me to play on my Wii or watch online movies on a screen larger than my MacBook, right? Ok, I can handle this question...If we assume I might watch tv 10 hours a month, then that's 120 hours a year, divided by 52 is...have I even had my tv on this week? I think I turned it on a couple of nights ago after Anika mentioned Leggo Star Wars and I had it on CoolTV just long enough to switch to Video 1 input... - MiniMage
LOL I guess, I'm not being fair in my own assessment either. There's my Wiiing & Xboxing, done on a TV which takes up a fair chunk of time. But to be more accurate: Just television simply put, meant in the terms of programmed networked shows. - sofarsoShawn
I have the TV turned on almost all the time. I'm not sure how much of that I actually watch, though - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
TeeeVeee is on in the evening - like now - but my eyes are moool-teee-tasking on the friendfeed...mapmywalk....facebook....and flipping stations during commercials - like now ---- - Steve Cleary
I watch TV at night while multitasking. Current shows I Tivo are House, Glee, Parenthood, NCIS, SVU, Grey's Anatomy, Community, Mythbusters, Fringe. I also watch So You Think You Can Dance and Project Runway when they are on and have a few Food Network & HGTV shows I like (like Good Eats). The Tivo definitely makes it easier to watch more TV, but most of the time I'm only partially paying attention. - Shannon Jiménez
A couple weeks ago I saw that one-armed guy from the movie Kamilah's not watching. He was playing on "Minute to Win It". That was a good show. - Bruce Lewis
Oh hey that's a another show I like, not the MInute to WIn It one, but with that same host Guy Fanetti sp? The dude from Diner's, Drive Ins and Dives, on the Food Network. Even though I can't eat any of it, I do drool :) And yeah a lot of ppl I've noticed used TEEVEE as ambient noise, like a radddeo, though not watching or listening. Shannon I'm impressed Good Eats even?! Yeah I love Iron Chef but that know-it-all host, I can only put up with in like 3 min segments. - sofarsoShawn
Bob's Burgers is a new Fox animated show, in the Sunday animation block. It's pretty good. - Andrew C (✓) from Android
Oh, that's too bad, I have a thing for Bobbly Flay, his "Throw Down", and being such the awesomest grill master - sofarsoShawn
1, maybe. - Jenny H
1 show? 1 hour? or Both? And if the former which one? - sofarsoShawn
One show for one hour. Right now, it's Fringe. Later, it will be True Blood. I watched more tv in the past, but just haven't been interested much in the past few years. - Jenny H from Android
For years, I have only watched TV when I have a particular reason. These last weeks I often watched the news about what was happening in Japan. - Maitani
I record these shows - House, Hawaii 5-0, Glee, No Ordinary Family, Parenthood, Detroit 187, The Middle, Modern Family, Mr Sunshine, Cougar Town, Survivor, Bones, Grey's Anatomy, The Defenders, Blue Bloods, Amazing Race. How many hours I watch each night depends on what's going on at home. Some of them I will not watch until summer rerun season. - Alan
Zero second... :-) And that is good so. - Solveigh Calderin
Survivor, NHL, NFL, MLB and most other sports. Really don't watch that much TV anymore. www.twit.tv is a bit niche, but I often listen to the podcasts. - Nathan Snyder
C'est génial - Bea Blanc

Subtitles: Lost in too much translation | The Economist - http://www.economist.com/blogs...
"We were watching "Flickering Lights", a Danish crime caper. She's Danish and I speak the language passably. They did an acceptable job with most of the dialogue, though they couldn't really capture the clash of dialect when the Copenhagen toughs find themselves in rural Jutland. What annoyed me this time was that they didn't translate but transposed proper names and places, apparently in the belief that English-speaking audiences want a movie set in Denmark to seem as though it were set in Cleveland." - Shannon Jiménez from Bookmarklet

Oh in that case... Al and I came home to a UPS package containing a handgun, a box of bullets and $5K cash. - SAM
WHAT? - Micah
I assume some of that wasn't supposed to cross state lines via mail. It was totally out of the blue too. - SAM
SAM, what did you do with it? - Micah
Kept the gun, spent the cash. We knew who it was from... and we carry a sidearm when out and about on the property, so it was pretty much the coolest package ever. - SAM

Medium rare to medium, depending on the cut, or the cook - Eric - Too Hot from iPhone
Like this: "Hey, can I get a steak please?" - Slippy like shiny things.
Medium well - well done. - Headless Gnad Kicker

Medium rare. It's the only way to get a truly medium steak at most places, where most who order medium really want medium well. - Ordinarybug Heather
I've given up trying to guess what different restaurants interpret as medium/medium well - I just tell them "whatever is just barely no pink, that's what I want." Usually the wait staff can interpret that. :) - Jandy
Rare. Mooing is acceptable. - Shannon Jiménez
Medium to well done. Though That depends on where you go. Spain. Was well done all the time since their medium to well was rather rare. - Roberto Bonini
blackened, medium - Rochelle's favorite Royce
Lots of mediums, hmmm. I am rare. - Liza + = ?
medium rare =) (yammie) - ANJELINABANANA
in all honesty, medium well. i often have to send it back for more cooking time cos they think i'm joking. - Unholy Joe Silence
if the juice runs clear, i'm satisfied. also, TWSS. - Unholy Joe Silence
Rare. - Mark H
When the waitress walks up to the table, I say, "I'll have a steak please". - Jeff P. Henderson

How do you usually launch apps? (dock, document, launcher, quicksearch, desktop icon, etc) Thanks! #featherweightusabilitytesting
PC or mobile? On PC, from the Start menu. On iPhone, from icon. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Most used apps: from my taskbar (pinned app in Win 7). - Curtis (a) Jackson
spotlight/quick search - kartik vaithyanathan
Most used are pinned to the taskbar (win7) - Eric - Too Hot
Dock. - Derrick
Quick Launch from the taskbar or Win Key / and the first few characters in the search. - Jimminy
Dock, Finder, Spotlight - Kevin Johnson
OSX, Automagic launch on login, 'open http://url' in Terminal.app for pages, with Spotlight and Spring loaded dock icons pulling up the rear. - Neal Krummell

I am "That Scary Taskbar Girl" for a reason. Behold, in all its glory: http://dl.dropbox.com/u... That's on autohide, and I have been doing things this way since my very first Windows based PC. - April Russo
April, wow, that's amazing. - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
PC, start menu. iPhone, icon. - Rochelle
(Rochelle and I match!) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
On Windows XP, I used Quicklaunch a lot (but I had it pulled out as a completely separate toolbar). On Vista, I docked a toolbar to act similarly to the Quicklaunch. On Windows 7, I now use a combination of StarDock (docked at the bottom of my screen) and the Windows 7 pinned taskbar (docked at the top of my screen). On my MacBook, I generally use the Dock. - DAMMIT, MR. NOODLE
On Win 7: Most used: taskbar. Others: start menu. No icons. Hate icons. - Shannon Jiménez
Quicklaunch on XP. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
A Delta Rocket - SteVe C
Dock. - Jandy
Whatever the thing is called where you type command-space and then start typing the name of the command. Then hit return. I guess that's "spotlight." - Brian Johns
Launcher: 80%, Dock or Finder 20%. - Micah
Dock (if I have an icon for it in the dock), otherwise Alfred (used to use Quicksilver but switched due to lack of updates). - Aaron Draczynski
I set Win+Z to open up Everything http://www.voidtools.com/downloa... then it's 'keystroke2anything'. Avid full-time user since their day 1. For the web, I did enjoy using Ubiquity (but I'm not using Firefox that much anymore, lost that 'mindset') for quick access to sharing, etc. Hyperwords, I just discovered, is now available as a Chrome extension, but I need more time and practice... more... - Zu from AOD
Dock, or from a terminal using tab completion - Victor Ganata
Launcher/Quicksearch on Windows. Find and Run Robot to be exact. Ctrl+Space and type first few chars of what I want. Even on a Mac I'll use the quick search feature before the dock. I find it to be more instant than navigating with a mouse, but less memory intensive that mapping actual keystrokes to specific apps. - Rahsheen
I've tried using spotlight, but I can never think of the name of the program when I want to use it. I'm like, uh....the graphicy one with the blue icon...OH, Photoshop, right. Or...that bloggy updatey one that's the orange circle... For someone who writes a lot, I remember programs almost solely by their icons. - Jandy
Document icon from its folder, or app icon from the toolbar at the top of the window - since that's where the CS5 icons are, to get them out of the Dock. Apparently I only click about a third of the apps that are actually in the Dock. - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Alfred: http://www.alfredapp.com/ I have 3 large screens, and moving the mouse over to the dock or a stack to launch is a real pain: much easier to double tap a key and use auto-complete to find the app. - Mark Trapp
PC--ActiveWords, Macintosh--Spotlight - David Thomas
+1 for Alfred on Mac. - Ken Gidley
Shannon Jiménez
Just cleaned out my fridge and noticed that the A1 sauce expired in 2006. Should I be concerned that I've actually used it a few times in the last year?
If you used it a few times in the last year, and you just typed this, then you're fine. - Louis Gray
You have an excellent point, Louis. But, rather than pressing my luck further, I did decide to throw it out! - Shannon Jiménez
Jandy
When typing, do you always use the shift key opposite of the letter you're typing? IOW, if you'd type the letter with your right hand, you use the left shift key, and if you'd type the letter with your left hand, you'd use the right shift key?
I find that I use the left shift key ALL the time, even if I'm typing a capital A, Q, or Z. I just use my left ring finger to hit those keys if I need to hold shift with my pinky. I'm pretty sure I used to hit the right shift key for those letters, but I don't know. My right shift key never gets used. - Jandy
I use left shift key for everything. - Trish R
I am pretty much the same way, Jandy. - holly #ravingfangirl
Iris is the only one who uses the right shift key. - Jenica
I don't think I ever use the right shift. This may be because I'm usually on a laptop, though. - Victor Ganata
I wonder if this is taught somehow when we learn touch typing, or if it just happens. On my keyboard the right shift key is actually further away, because of the punctuation keys...maybe using the left one is more efficient? - Jandy
I use both, and alternate thumbs for space, when I move my right hand to use the mouse, otherwise it's always right for space, but my hands are too big so one thumb has to rest on the other. - Jimminy
The way I learned to type, I would actually toggle the shift lock (yep, shift lock, not caps lock) instead of using the shift key - Victor Ganata
I always hit space with my right thumb. So much so that it wears a smooth place on the right side of the shift key. :) - Jandy
Victor - what is a shift lock that's not caps lock? - Jandy
John, yes, you use the right shift key for all left-handed letters? - Jandy
I use the left shift almost all the time. I really got used to it playing MMORPG's. Right hand on the mouse. Left hand on the left side side of the keyboard. Shift + key for more commands. - Rodfather
It depends on the keyboard I'm using to be honest. On my Netbook I almost always use the left one because the right is inconveniently behind the arrows. - Joe "Funkasaurus" Pierce
Had to look at how I type, since I don't think about it. Mainly I use the "left-hand" side shift key, but I do use the right on occasion. - Bluesun 2600
I use both on a standard keyboard, the way I was taught many moons ago. This post made me be aware of worn letters on my keyboard. My "s,d,e" are totally worn away. Part of my a is history too. - Janet:#TeamMonique
I Alternate Depending On Which Will Be More Efficient. For The Word I'm Typing. So I guess they both get equal use and yes I just typed my answer that way as a test. I use the Dvorak keyboard layout and did, in fact, take touch-typing in high school, which corrected my original hunt-and-peck strategy. - Rahsheen
I'm a balanced typist. - Kevin L
I shift shift keys, yes. Who's touch-typing and not using right-shift for capital Q? - Micah
Micah, me. left shift with pinky, q with 3rd finger. :) - Jenica
yep, shift lock is different http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki... - Victor Ganata
I usually use the left shift key, which I hold down with my left pinky finger. - John (bird whisperer)
I forget there is a shift key on the right. I think I've only used or noticed it twice. - Lola Bean (Penguin) from fftogo
I know from past experience that actually attempting to answer that question will screw up my 80wpm touch typing for several days. Best guess: I usually use the left-hand shift key. But damned if I'm going to observe... - Walt Crawford
I don't know that I've ever used the right shift key. - Jenny H
I use both and they seem to be worn to equal shininess on my keyboard. - Shannon Jiménez
Yes. Except for when I don't. :-) - Ordinarybug Heather
Am I the only one who consistently uses the right shift key? - Lis
Nope. I learned on an electric typewriter in typing class my freshman year of high school; using both shift keys correctly* was necessary to pass so learn I did. *edit* note: correctly, as defined by whatever the standard is/was for that sort of thing. - Michael W. May
Actually, I leave caps lock on and shift for lower case letters. - Kevin L
Derrick
Do you know how to drive a manual/standard/stick shift?
Yes (had several over the years) - Tinfoil 2.0
Yep. In fact, I've owned 2 manual cars. - Ha3rvey (on hiatus)
Yep. We have a Ford F150 pickup with manual tranny. - Bubba da Troll
Yes. - Alan
Yes if my back still allowed it I'd still own one. - SteVe C
Yes - RAPatton
No. Wouldn't mind learning, just so I know how. - Hedgehog
Yes. - Kevin L
That's what I learned on. I currently drive a manual. There was a time a few years ago when all the women in my family drove manuals and all the men drove automatics, which I found weirdly gratifying. - FFing Enigma
Yes! - Georgia
My parents made me learn to do that before I could get my permit. - Josh Aaron Willis
I took my car in to have the brakes looked at and the guy at the shop didn't know how to drive it (a manual) over to to the lift. :( - Derrick
yup - DJF
Yeah, it's a standard requirement here in the UK. - Slippy like shiny things.
yes - the first car I bought was a stick (the second one wasn't, though I still wish it was). - ellbeecee
Yes - Bren from iPhone
Yes, my first car was manual - Morton Fox
yes. miss it muchly - Lnorigb
Yes. I think it's a standard requirement in Norway as well. I don't know if we have a separate licence that just allows you to drive automatic or something? - Eivind
Yes, I can drive a car. - Betsy #TeamMonique
Don't know if it's still true now but in the old country, manual transmission cars were a lot cheaper, both to buy and to maintain, than automatic transmission cars. - Morton Fox
Yep. The Subaru I have now is the first automatic I've owned. If it weren't for Bay Area traffic, I'd have preferred to get my Baja with a manual transmission. - Russian Space Lizard
I have driven automatics on occasion (not by choice) and I now understand how people can get distracted and multi-task while doing so. Automatics are boring. I felt like a passenger, not a driver. - Betsy #TeamMonique
I did it once, in an emergency, but it was in the middle of the night in the middle of nowhere and I had someone telling me what to do and mostly doing the shifting for me. But could I drive a stick shift from my house to the grocery store and back? No way. - Rochelle
HOWEVER: if I had the kind of commute that involved a lot of stop-and-start and clutches, I would get an automatic, but it wouldn't be my preference. - Betsy #TeamMonique
No. And unlikely to learn at this point. - Walt Crawford
Yep, my dad made sure I learned on one. My first car was a manual. - Jason P
yup - Valley
Yup...my current car and the one before that are both stick shift. Love it so much - Tamara
yes. both our cars are automatic now and I miss it. - Jim #TeamMonique from BuddyFeed
Yes, but can no longer drive them in stop and go due to an injury to my left knee. - Neal Krummell
Nope, but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have a problem learning. Have to agree with others here, though. Too much stop-and-go bull around here to drive a manual. I'd go nuts. - Rahsheen
Heh. I managed to make do with 10 years of stick shift driving in Los Angeles. Traffic there is WONDERFUL. - Derrick
I've driven one a few times, but it's been a long time. I was fine once I got going, but going from stopped into first was usually a bit rough - never got the hang of that. - Jandy
I was a little stressed once after driving up to San Francisco and spending a week there. Those hills are like whoa. #clutch - Derrick
Yep. I learned how to drive in my dad's truck which had a three-speed transmission with the shifter on the wheel. - Akiva
Yes, that is how I learned how to drive. I prefer it. - Shevonne
Yep. - SAM
SURE! - Zamms
Yes. My kid brother had a Camaro when we were teenagers, and I had to learn to drive it or look like a sissy in front of him and his friends. - Alex Scrivener
Yes. - Dario Gomez
No. Every one in my family learned to drive with a stick except me. My husband gave me the opportunity to learn, and I was doing fine with it, then his car got totalled (not by me). So, no more of that. :( - #cryptic from FFHound(roid)!
Yes, but mainly just theoretically, I've only had a chance to drive them short distances(<1 mile), and that's only happened 2-3 times. - Jimminy
No. (My secret shame.) - Stephen Mack #TeamMomo
Yep. My first car and several others over the years have been 4 or 5 speeds. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Yes. Aside from taking my license test in an automatic, I've only driven manual transmissions. - Kirsten from fftogo
Yep. - Steven Perez
Yes, my parents made me do it and I'm very glad they did. - Kenton
yes - Morgan
Enough to get from point A to point B, but not enough to avoid stalling and grinding gears. - Mark Kille
Nope. - Andrew C (✓)
It's all I drive. All my new car purchases but one have been manual - MoTO #TeamMonique from Android
Yes, and I prefer it for everything but stop-and-go traffic (which I seldom face). - Fred Yankowski
yes. I don't know how to drive an automatic, tho. - $tephanie•Gardening
yes. that is all i have ever driven. - edythe
Yes Eric taught me - Elena from iPhone
yep, learned on a five ton flatbed when I was about 14 - Michael W. May
No -- but I want to learn. To the detriment of someone's poor and unsuspecting car :) - LoisMarketing
yep, although its been a few years since I've driven one...worried my friend the last time she let me borrow hers when I was visiting cause I had forgotten somethings, but remembered after a bit - Sir Shuping is just sir
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESS I do. [SEE http://friendfeed.com/micahwi... ] - Micah
I earned my chops driving one in SF ;) - Scott. Cat Herder.
Yes. - Mark H
Nope. I would like to learn, but no one would ever teach me. - Anne Graham
No. My friend Malinda taught me some of the basics years ago, but I've only driven (and owned) cars with automatic transmissions since then, so I've probably forgotten them. - Laura H.
Yes. My aunt taught me to drive on her (automatic) Cadillac STS, then as soon as I got my license, she said I would have to learn to drive my uncle's Toyota (the old school YO-style truck), because I wasn't going to be driving the Caddy around anymore :-D - Jenthemum
Yes...and I prefer a manual. - JA Castillo
The first car I owned was a 3 on the tree Chevy. It's like riding a bike -- once you learn how you never seem to lose the skill. - Brian Sullivan
Yes - jtf from Android
yep it's standard in Europe :) - ovigia
Yes - jtf from Android
No. My dad always said that's what I'd learn first. And then I broke my left kneecap when I was 15. - Rachel Walden
Nope. but I need to learn before I get my hot Mustang. because driving a muscle car in automatic is just... no. - ωαřмaiden ❤Marrit Woman❤
no, but tried to learn on one years ago - sofarsoShawn
Yep. Heh reminded me of this scene in Buffalo '66. http://www.youtube.com/watch... - Rodfather
Yup. I semi-learned when I was a teen. I had to learn for real in the midst of my first major depressive episode when my mom said she was too tired to drive. Fun! - laura x
I'd rather drive an automatic. I like to cruise. It was fun driving stick when I was younger, but it's a pain in the ass now. - Rodfather
D, I want you to know, that I really tried to resist. But it just became to much for me #sorry: http://www.youtube.com/watch... - MoTO #TeamMonique
Oh, Barry. - Derrick
I TRIED... #honest - MoTO #TeamMonique
Yep. And I usually prefer them. Even when I lived in San Francisco... - Lisa | #TeamMonique from Android
Yes, have always owned sticks and have only driven an automatic maybe 3-4 times ever - it's kind of disorienting driving an automatic! - Laura Norvig from iPod
Yep, and taught a couple of people how to do it. But I got an automatic this time because I couldn't deal with carpal tunnel syndrome and aging hips and knees. - m9m, Crone of FriendFeed
Yep - had a truck with manual transmission in college. - Nathan Chase
Yes, drove a stick for 20 years. - Jeff P. Henderson
Word. - Jenny H
Yes. I drive one every day. - DGentry
Yes. But I try to avoid it. - Shannon Jiménez
Yes, love to drive cars that way. - OMG 404 Joe
yes Automatic now but I'd never be stranded buy a stick - WarLord
no. tried once at 17 did not like it never tried again. that was 1966. - VALZ/TT/TM
nope, holden tried teaching me, but got frustrated haha. - Marissa
Yes. That's what I learned to drive on. In fact, I have no idea how to drive an automatic car. Both of my parents and most of my extended family drive manuals. The only exception I think are my grandparents. - Colette
Yep - Aaron Hood
yep. my first car had a manual transmission. - imabonehead
I do, though I'm not very good at it. I got an automatic licence for that very reason *sheepish grin* - Headless Gnad Kicker
but of course - chrisofspades
Yep, it is what I learned on and when I finally got my own new car; it had a standard transmission. More control, faster, and way more fun. - Mathew A. Koeneker
Sure. Manual is by far the most common here in Europe. - Brome
Yes - AJ Batac
Scoble, Alex Scoble
For cat owners, do you only feed your cat(s) dry food or do you also feed them canned food as part of their diet?
I've read in an article recently that you should feed them canned food because they aren't good at drinking enough water. Just wondering what your take is on how you feed them. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
*opinionated reply even though I don't have a cat and haven't had one since I was a kid* - WoH: Professor MOTHRA
We fed ours dry until she was diagnosed with diabetes and had to eat the special formula canned food. - Alan
mostly dry, canned food 2x/week. - holly #ravingfangirl
dry only (but we are looking into add some wet to help one with medical problems) - Shannon - GlassMistress
All dry. I was feeding her canned cat food as well, but my husband was concerned we were "spoling" her. I explained to him that cats get their moisture from meat, not from water. He wouldn't hear of it. She's been rather mean about it, since then. - #cryptic
Mine get both, now. While they are both usually good water drinkers, I add a bit of water to their canned food, just to make sure they get enough (and because Billie likes "broth"). - Russian Space Lizard
All dry, but that's because Sophie won't touch the canned stuff. She gets skittish if I put it out, so I've wondered if she was captured by someone who used wet food to trap her. - Katy S
Dry only. I've offered my cats canned food as a treat a few times and they tend to ignore it. Fortunately for me, they are big drinkers. - Soup in a TARDIS
Only dry. They must be good water drinkers because we've never had a problem with that. - Rochelle
Just for the record, we only feed our cat dry food. With that said a new trick I found out about cats is that their water a little colder than the surface temperature water in their bowls. Adding an ice cube to the water dish dramatically increases their water intake. Found this out after looking up why cats like to drink from the toilet......lol - kam
Both, that's what I was told by my vets. I feed them dry in the morning and a pouch in the evening. - Halil
Dry food always available.. Canned food once a day ! - Peter Dawson
You feed your cats? We make ours hunt for his sustenance. (We bait the chipmunks with dry cat food.) - SAM
dry and wet - Dan owns Comicsforge.com
Solid Gold, Jeff. Solid Gold. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
The masters get dry food at their whim (self feeder) and between the three of them will drink about 2 cups of water in a day (I have no idea if this is high or low feline intake). They get wet food 1-2x a year, once for Christmas dinner and sometimes for New Years. This means they've had canned/wet food 20 times in their entire lives and somehow still manage to immediately know when I've popped the top off a can of anything. - FFing Enigma
Just dry but once in awhile a can of wet as a treat. Our vet said that as cats become geriatric supplementing with wet food is a good idea because often they slow their water intake which can impact kidney function. Younger cats should drink enough water. We were also told that the key is not adding calories - so feeding less dry kibble when adding in the wet food. - adf
Our cats seem to drink a lot of water, so they get dry food. Vet seems okay with it (the plan - don't know whether he likes the dry food himself). - Baffled
Only dry food for all our cats. They drink a lot of water, one is addicted to water, it's freaky. At my parents house growing up it was the same until they reached 18 or 19 years old and couldn't chew well then they got the canned stuffage. - SteVe C
Alex - Solid Gold has grain, yes? - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
No, but it does have dancers! *runs away* - FFing Enigma
they have a grain-free variety for both cats and dogs now, Jeff. - holly #ravingfangirl
ah, then i approve :) (i still like Orijen the best) - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Can food once...or....twice a week they always have access to dry food. The wet food is Fancy Feast. The dry is One - John D Reasor
Fancy Feast and other supermarket brands have ingredients i wouldn't want to give my pet. http://www.naturalnews.com/012647... - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Solid Gold Indigo Moon (which is what I feed our cats) has no grains, although they do sell another food that has grains. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Anyhow, my point is that there's more than one premium brand worthy of our furry children. Yes, i did just say furry children. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I mainly feed him wet food. Dry food once or twice a week. - Shevonne
@Alex..need pic of da furrychildren ! - Peter Dawson
Yeah, I haven't uploaded pics of the cats in a long time. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Raw chicken, with about 20% blended veggies, occasional wet canned. We also bought one of those little relaxation fountains, and with the running water, she drinks a lot. - Marty
Both--primarily dry food (Wellness for one cat, Royal Canin furball formula for the shedder), but a third of a 3oz. can of Fancy Feast low-ash (or, occasionally, Wellness or Newman's Own, both even lower-ash) for each cat each morning, the remainder late p.m. - Walt Crawford
We'd feed them both only wet if we could, but the boy kitty won't eat canned at all. - Pixie
Canned + self-feeder dry when they were kittens. Now almost exclusively self-feeder dry with occasional canned for a treat. - Shannon Jiménez
How come if you ask tech questions it's Lazyweb, but if you ask cat questions, it's okay? Not that it stops me.... - Liza + = ?
Well, it's different to ask a question like "how do I reboot my computer" vs asking "how often do you reboot your computer?" - Scoble, Alex Scoble
True - but I don't ask how to reboot my computer! BTW, what was the anti-virus scan you recommended? It worked, but the old PC is dying again and I don't remember which one worked. #lazyweb - Liza + = ?
ROFLMAO! ComboFix - Scoble, Alex Scoble
We offered them both canned and dry but they never ate the canned so now they only get dry. - Martha
Not sure if this is available outside the UK yet, but the founders used to work for Nutro the American pet food company, I think, don't quote me on that. Either way, their food at least cat food as I don't have dogs, is fantastic as are the ingredients. I think the important factor is, good quality dry and wet food is probably the best balance. Check out the site and their ingredients,... more... - Halil
1/3 can wet in the evening, dosing of 1/2 cup twice a day of dry. Due to the kitten having urinary crystals we must feed the prescriptive c/d food. For me, the addition of the wet keeps the hairball puking to almost nothing. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Mostly dry, but every now and then canned. - Jemm
Canned only (EVO) - Meg V. Meg
Dry only. They won't touch the wet, as we discovered when we had to hide medication in it. They also wouldn't touch it without the meds. Nemo drinks from faucets; the others use a dish or plumbed substitutes. - Mary B: #TeamMonique from iPhone
I never understood the whole "dry food good for teeth". That's like brushing your teeth with a Ritz cracker. - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
And wet food is like brushing your teeth with whipped cream. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Which is why raw bones are important. - Jeff (Team マクダジ )
Holy shit- wet/dry food discourse is still on ? - Peter Dawson
We use rope toys and bully sticks for this reason, Jeff. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
@Jeff (Team マクダジ ) Raw bones can potentially chip/brake/shatter the teeth of some cats, so it's always best to check with the vets to make sure it's OK before you feed them raw bones. Not to mention the possible risk of bacterial infection, eg salmonella, listeria etc. - Halil
Most cats aren't fond of wet food once they get dry food. Anyway, if you want them to drink more water, the trick is to have a constant source of fresh flowing water. Those pet waterfall things with the filters in them really do work. Cats have it built-in to trust flowing water sources, and the filter keeps it from getting nasty over time. - Otto
Victor Ganata
Do people consider the word "gringo" inherently racist?
I think it has negative connotations, I wouldn't say it's racist. Or rather it is sometimes (often?) used in a negative sense. My answer is not very satisfactory to me. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I've been called that many times (well, gringa) and it doesn't offend me. I see it the same as calling me caucasian. - Trish R
I've always thought of it semantically equivalent to Cantonese "gweilo" or Japanese "gaijin"—it can be and is often used disparagingly, but it's not inherently so. But I wondered what other people thought. - Victor Ganata
I feel inadequate to answer this question as I can only speak from a white guy's perspective, which seems too limited to adequately discuss. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
Kind of what Alex said - I'd think of it as a mocking/riducule-bearing word, but not necessarily racist, and not really...mean. Like, I wouldn't be offended if someone called me that. It'd be like cowboys calling Easterners "dudes" on dude ranches. Kind of playfully mocking, but not meanly so. But I dunno, I'm just kind of making stuff up now. - Jandy
Not I - Todd Hoff
Never heard it used in a non-racist manner. - Jimminy
I'll admit, the reason I'm dubious about the inherently racist nature of the word is because it was originally a word employed by white people to describe other white people. But language does evolve. - Victor Ganata
Depends on who's saying it and tone of voice. I call myself a gringa on a regular basis. - Shannon Jiménez
What about the Hawaiian term "haole", Victor? Is that different? Just curious. - Scoble, Alex Scoble
I've heard the term, but I don't really have much experience with it, having never been to Hawaii (except for stopovers) - Victor Ganata
I've never heard gringo used to describe a white person, always hispanics. And "haole" I would consider having had originally racist connotations, for non-native white people, but now I think it's changed a bit. - Jimminy
I wouldn't be offended if someone called me a gringo. I don't see it as a racist word. - Morgan
I would be more offended and hurt by someone spewing undeserved venomous hatred at me, even if they used no slurs or profanity. Gringo is gringo. No biggie. - Morgan
Jimminy, it really depends on who's using "haole". I lived there three years. If a Hawaiian you don't know calls you that, you can be sure it ain't nice. - topernic
Didn't Lewis C.K. address this in one of his bits? - Ken Morley
Topernic, yeah I've grown up with pidgin, my stepdad, lived there for 27 years, and several members of my dad's side of the family live there. They all, all white, toss it around pretty non-chalantly, though, so I wasn't too sure how much it had changed. - Jimminy
I thought gringo was the Spanish term for non-hispanics, Jimminy - Wikipedia says "Gringo is a slang Spanish and Portuguese word used in Spanish-speaking and Portuguese-speaking countries, principally in Latin America, to denote foreigners, often from the United States, the United Kingdom, or Westerners in general." I've heard it mostly in westerns, when Mexicans use it to refer to... more... - Jandy
