Physically Strong Men Are Less Likely to Share Wealth - Pandagon http://www.pandagon.net/2013...
Well, sort of. Physical strength correlated with selfishness. So if you were rich, you were less likely to support redistribution, but you were poor, you were more likely to support redistribution. - Victor Ganata

Forgiving my lack of expression (and the terrible lighting), which pair of hipster glasses do you think I should purchase?

O hai Meg :) I like 1 and 4 - Hedgehog
I'm with Hedgie - lris
Me three. Um, by which I mean I'm with Hedgie and Iris in liking 1 and 4. Not 3 so much. - laura x
also agree with 1 and 4 - holly #ravingfangirl
I vote only #1. (Unless #4 is significantly cheaper.) - c.a.j.
Not that you can really tell here, but #1 is "striped evergreen": http://www.warbyparker.com/women... and #4 is a "sandalwood matte": http://www.warbyparker.com/women... - Meg V. Meg
I like 1, 2, and 4. - Steele Lawman
2 or 4. depends on how hipster you want to go and what type of hipster you want to be and how "mad men inspired" you want to feel. - kendrak
KK, which one is more "mad men inspired", I can't tell. - Meg V. Meg
Here's the color of the 2nd one: http://www.warbyparker.com/women... - Meg V. Meg
4 i think? maybe 2? 3 and 5 are more early 80s. 1 is late 90s interpretation of 60s. (you can tell i spend a lot of time researching frames.) - kendrak
i dig the brushed opal. - kendrak
1 says I - Libraryman
1 - jambina
1 and/or 4. - Laura H.
1 or 4, but 1 is my favorite. - Marianne
2 is kind of endearing though. - Marianne
2 but can't go wrong with any - SteVe C
1 or 4. I like 1 more. - Lisa | #TeamMonique
1 and 4. Leaning more towards 1. - Corinne L
I and 4, but leaning toward 4. I kind of want them to be a little higher on your face... - RudĩϐЯaЯïan
Rudy, I think it's my ears (really) - Meg V. Meg
2nd from bottom - Hieronymous Boosh
1 or 3 or 5. - Joe Boone
Now can we write captions for each of the pics? Because, really, your expressions are awesome. For example, for #1: "Are really letting that newt crawl up your nose?" - maʀtha
1 or 4. - Jim #TeamMonique
#5 "I wouldn't do that if I were you..." - maʀtha
1 and 4. - Chelle Chelle Ro Ro
1. - Julian
1 - Micah
I am envious of your long hair. It's totally gorgeous. Does that information help you choose glasses? :D - Marie
Aw, thank you! I worry I'm too old for it. I also worry that my glasses won't match my hair if I (eventually) decide to color it. Woe, WOE, wooooooe is me. - Meg V. Meg
Thank you guys so much, this is helpful! I'm trying to decide if #1 is too similar to my existing blue plastic frames (your affinity for #1 makes me feel much better about my current glasses), and I might look at #4 in a different color, though I'm not in love with the other colors available. - Meg V. Meg
I love the fourth pair. - Kelli H. from Android
I don't know which one I'd buy. But the model in the pics is cute. - Bubba da Troll

Physicists Create Quantum Link Between Photons That Don't Exist at the Same Time | Wired Science | Wired.com
"Now they’re just messing with us. Physicists have long known that quantum mechanics allows for a subtle connection between quantum particles called entanglement, in which measuring one particle can instantly set the otherwise uncertain condition, or “state,” of another particle—even if it’s light years away. Now, experimenters in Israel have shown that they can entangle two photons that don’t even exist at the same time." - c.a.j. from Bookmarklet

8 months (and a long long winter) later my deck is exhibiting a severe splinter danger condition. I'm not sure if the best way to deal with it is good ol' sanding, or if I should try one of those handheld planer do-jobbies. Open to advice from FF deckxperts.

Not that I'm a total expert, but I'd opt for sanding. Any new cuts you make are likely to splinter as well so I think doing things on a finer level is needed. - Spidra Webster
My vote would be test one part with sander first going from really rough to at least 200. With planer you would still have to sand after. A hand held router also an option if it's just corners, again still have to sand after. - SteVe C
Do it with gloves on. I've had it happen where a splinter came at me right through some sandpaper once... - Spidra Webster
I've never used a planer of any type (handheld or benchtype or whatever) so I really have no clue as to when their use is appropriate. Given that, I figured I'd go with sanding, and like Steve suggested, use a router to round the corners. I'm pretty disappointed with the quality of wood the contractor used, but I didn't specify and he went cheap. I guess I should've known better. #liveandlearn - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Having sanded our entire deck two years ago - rent a commercial sander. I burned out the three we had here and tore many belts of our very old craftsman. - Janet:#TeamMonique
Good to know, Janet. I have to sand the faces of the rail boards as well. Some still have visible markings stamped on them, and some have pretty noticeable residual saw blade indentations, all of which I want to remove before I stain it later this summer. Someone told me I should wait two years before I stain/seal the wood, but it's looking like it might be taking in more moisture than it's letting out. Plus I really want to soften the 'new wood' look that really stands out against a 60 year old house. - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ

So my FIL went to America recently, and today he visited and gave us presents! The kids both have coonskin caps and dollar bills, and Josiah has a Texas Ranger badge :D
I have chocolate and Hello Kitty stuffs and parchment paper. - Headless Gnad Kicker
And Emily has a bald eagle. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Which chocolate did he surprise you with? - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Ghirardelli Intense Dark, Perugina Cappuccino, and Hershey's Special Dark. - Headless Gnad Kicker
Opening the Ghirardelli now. The description makes it sound like wine "with notes of mocha, blackberry and dark cherry". - Headless Gnad Kicker
Purely for medicinal purposes. Dark chocolate is rumoured to help suppress coughs. - Headless Gnad Kicker

"In an experiment that could change Angeleno’s perception of the river, The L.A. River Pilot Recreation Zone officially kicks off on Memorial Day, Monday May 27, allowing the public to walk, watch birds, kayak and fish (with permits) on a 2.5 mile stretch of the Glendale Narrows waterway in Elysian Valley. The summer-long program runs during daylight hours until Labor Day (September 2) and anyone can access the river free of charge for a Class I river rapids ride that will take about 2 ½ hours. (Note: organized groups will need a permit and that can take up to five days to secure.) Only non-motorized, steerable boats – like kayaks and canoes – are permitted on the river. Sorry inner tubes and inflatable rafts, back to the pools with you." - Anika from Bookmarklet

A little slow on the up and at'em this morning, but the kiln is warming up, the dogs are fed and I've got a load of laundry going.
Doesn't sound all that slow to me. Top o' the morning! - c.a.j.
I sorta intended to be working by six - but I let myself over sleep :-). Good morning to you! - Shannon - GlassMistress
Just make sure you're not washing glass and burning clothes. :P - Bubba da Troll

My wife is trying to convince me that I should start using Pinterest again. Being the craft person she is, there's lots of ideas and products she can pin. For me, she said I should start pinning computer parts and other random geeky stuff. She might have a point. :P

it's a Honda CR-V and far and away the most money I've ever spent on a car. Love it, though. - teleken from BuddyFeed
What are you going to name her? - Janet:#TeamMonique from FFHound!
Name her Cristo. That will prove his point. - Lisa | #TeamMonique
I <3 Lisa. Also, I <3 CR-V. I'm either getting that or a Pilot when I trade in next year (though I'm super tempted to trade in right now...). - Hookuh Tinypants
The CR-V has a ridiculous turning radius - easier to park than that rental Impala I had. The EX comes VERY nicely loaded. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Gratz! I adore new cars of all the types. - Lnorigb
Nice car. I seriously considered one, but couldn't quite manage it. And used ones are really hard to find within a 100 mile radius. (According to Cars.com, at least.) - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Well, Cristo's comment is gone. So now mine & Amanda's comments just look silly... Also, I really preferred the Subaru Forester to the CR-V back when I was looking. Although, the ease of repairing a Honda might sway me in the future IF they give them AWD... Love my Forester's AWD! - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Wow. Great minds think alike. I really wanted a Forester when my search began. But the only used one I could find was way overpriced and a test drive proved that it wasn't mechanically up to par. But they are really really popular, as in "#1 selling car in its class" popular (at least according to Subaru.) But still, I love my Soul. Not as big, no AWD, but it has everything I really... more... - Jkram|ɯɐɹʞſ
Wait, what happened to Jalapeño? - Marie
The Forester was a consideration for me, but TCO was through the roof if you go out 5 years. Truth be told, this is my sixth Honda in 25 years. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Nice choice! The Honda, not Mark's music. :) - Stephan Planken from iPhone
Marie - Jalapeño was totaled 9 months after I bought her by a sleeping driver doing 50 MPH who rear-ended me while I was stopped at a light. I've had bad luck with Toyotas. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Lisa - they make AWD CR-Vs. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Oh, Jalapeño. *pours out a sip* - Marie
Whaaaa? I've never seen a used one! It might be time to finally consider my first NEW car... - Lisa | #TeamMonique
all new CRV? sweeet I want one of those! :D - پروتژه
Honda rocks, between BMW and Honda, I chose Honda for lower price and similar features with almost certainly better quality than german engineering. - پروتژه
Lisa - the AWD ones typically stocked are EX-Ls, which means you get leather and the premium nav system too. Fair price is about $29K. - teleken from BuddyFeed
Love it! Sadly I'm about to be dropped (I mean extinguished) by leveled-up knockout drops, or I'd have a clever Chfistopher-White-referential name for the car. But BlacoBlanco isn't yanking my chaiiiiii.............n.n.......n........n......... - Mary B: #TeamMonique
Sweet. Thanks for the tip, teleken! - Lisa | #TeamMonique
Any time. :) I must be getting old; this time around I shopped safety before style. IMO I got both with this car. IHSA has this one second to the Forester, BTW - they're more or less neck and neck. - teleken from BuddyFeed
