472 more comments

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 - Eric

0.67 - Nine

0.77 - Shey

0.76 - FFing Enigma

1.39. - Rochelle

1.80 - Brian Sullivan

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

1.41 - WoH: Minding her Steves

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

1.27 (902/705) - Leandro Ardissone ⍨

yes, thanks for the correction. lindsay, you're making me feel bad. lol - Cee Bee

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

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

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

CSV_B Mean: 1.49 (previous mean for CVS_A: 1.27) - 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

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

0.55 (254/444) - Willem (@wim66) ☠

Thank you, Willem. - Micah

In April you were 0.97, so you're liking more / commenting less. - 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

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, enterRUPPted

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

.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

.11 - Penguin

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, CoG of FF

0.58 - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

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. :-) - Moody (Sweet FA 4 Life)

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

1.63 - Serkan Mutlu

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

.87 - Nine

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, enterRUPPted

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

Installing now. Will also use the system as another World Community Grid client, thus further boosting the friendfeed WCG team scores, yay. :) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

And this is why I never got in to Linux. Installing drivers for my USB wireless adapter is a real PITA. There's just no real intelligence built in to yum or rpm to ask the user to insert install CD x for various dependencies. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Having to uncompress the DVD iso (don't have DVD media to burn it to) to an external hard drive and use that to get stuff installed. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

And of course, there's no guarantee that the required libraries will be on the install DVD. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I bet it would be a little easier with Ubuntu or a variant, but most places use a Red Hat variant, which is why I chose CentOS. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I recommend searching on the web and see if your USB wireless adapter is supported. There's been problems with manufactures not wanting to release either code or driver support for Linux. - imabonehead

It is. I have the RPM to install the drivers and the firmware, but yum is erroring out because it can't find rpmlib(Digests) and rpmlib(PayloadisXz) - Scoble, Alex Scoble

try: yum localinstall whatever.rpm - imabonehead

See above - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Edit /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Media.repo by changing "enabled=1" to "enabled=0". - imabonehead

Cool, thanks, I'll try that in a bit and let you know if it worked...if it doesn't, I found something else to try - Scoble, Alex Scoble from YouFeed

Alex - I don't know about CentOS (I've never used it), but in Ubuntu and its related projects, there's actually a utility built in that allows you to use Windows drivers for things like your wifi adapter. It works really well. - Curdy G

imabonehead, enabled already equals 0 in CentOS-Media.repo - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Is this CentOS 5.5? That rpm package might not be supported in CentOS, but Fedora. Check the vendor's website to see which distros are supported. - imabonehead

CentOS 5.6 - Scoble, Alex Scoble

I'm going to try using ndiswrapper instead - Scoble, Alex Scoble

The packages I'm installing are from the ElRepo repository, which the CentOS site links to - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Ahh, I see, I might be trying to install packages for CentOS 6 and not 5...downloading the package for 5 - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Yeah, installing the right packages for the OS worked, heh. Oops. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

hehe, cool! - imabonehead

Of course, now I need to figure out how to actually set it up. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

what are you trying to set up? CentOS isn't so bad...the only major hassle I have is that I have to grab yum libraries from other people, because CentOS is a bit slow at going to the latest version of PHP, etc. (or rather Fedora is slow at going to it) - Sir Shuping is just sir

Trying to get my Raylink rt3070 based USB wireless adapter working and it's a complete pain in the ass - Scoble, Alex Scoble

This is highly annoying. I have it loaded using ndiswrapper and using the linux drivers for the adapter, but it's still not showing up in ifconfig and I have no idea how to get it set up to show up there. - Scoble, Alex Scoble

Never did get wireless adapter to work. Ended up using built in ethernet port and Internet Connection Sharing on my Windows desktop that has wireless installed - Scoble, Alex Scoble

it's for Debian, but maybe you've got some ideas....http://wiki.debian.org/rt2870s... - ovigia

I can't sleep in the same room with a dog because when I was a kid, I went to a slumber party where they told a story about a dead woman coming back as a dog and at night while everyone was sleeping, the dog would stand up on its hind legs and walk around the house like that woman used to do.

I have discovered that the root of my fears is loss of control. Insects, dead/decaying bodies (but not zombies), pitch black darkness, and heights. All completely irrational as I /know/ I shouldn't fear those things. Still. - Zulema ⋅ spicy cocoa tart from Android

Yes- even though taking Entomology and Invert Zoo really helped me, I am still afraid of a lot of non-toxic insects and inverts. I am afraid of heights, but it doesn't seem to apply to being high on a mountain. I am afraid of deep water even though I can swim. It just scares me for some reason. I'll second Mary Carmen in that I have a major irrational fear of aliens. It is très ridiculous. - Jenny R

Yes. Getting ejected into space without a space suit. The earth suddenly ceasing to rotate.

Why is twitter a better platform? Most of your followers only have one tweet, which means they're _listeners_. Finally, you can get a word in edgewise, and your ideas will be heard.

So I am trying to figure out the best way for me to stream TV/Movies from my laptop to my TV wirelessly. How can I do this? I have a MacBook Pro, XBox 360 (wired to the router so far), PS3 (wired/wireless), Samsung TV (will get model # when I get home), as well as a Sharp Aquos TV in vicinity as well and a Wii. What can I do?? Help me. The most...

You can try Connect360 http://www.nullriver.com/product... - Rodfather

OK. Anything else. I am wondering about some of those cool devices/systems they were talking about on the podcast. - Amani

I have this & it works damn good.... http://www.themediamall.com/playon - Jason Williams

playon is windows only though. there's really no easy & free dlna software for mac? there's gotta be something. - Richard Lawler

Totally missed the MacBook Pro part, hmm.... (well either way, Amani add me on 360, lol - JDubeous) - Jason Williams

ok, I'll add you. thanks. - Amani from IM

XMBC might be the way to go since you have a mac and a 360. - chrisofspades

the only issue is my 360 is not connected to my newer Samsung TV. :( it is connected to the Sharp Aquos TV. - Amani from IM

apple tv, then? - chrisofspades

I heard on the podcast that apple TV isn't a good solution. - Amani from IM

hmm...perhaps a network hard drive that streams? such as this: http://www.wdc.com/en.... FYI I zero experience with these things but I've been looking for a solution myself and also have a macbook pro. - chrisofspades

that is ok chris. we can learn together. Alex - any ideas?? Where is carlos or Josh?? - Amani from IM

first I need a new TV hehe. but I have a few more requirements out of a settop box than you do. also I don't a gaming console. - chrisofspades

Hi Amani..here are two very simple choices for the PS3 + Mac..one is free...the other costs money. Free: PMS...give is a shot : http://code.google.com/p... the other is to use the NAS that i am using...WD ShareSpace..i have the 4TB model: http://www.wdc.com/en... - Carlos Ayala

If you are just streaming movies off your MBP and they are h.264, the AppleTV is fine and relatively cheap. Plus, it basically sets itself up. The podcast was wrong. - The original Kevin

Carlos - wow, that is a nice looking machine. It doubles as a hard drive as well? Does it matter if I don't have a PC and just laptops? Also, what if I wanted to stream something to my TV upstairs (A Sharp Aquos TV) what else would I need? I am wondering if I have Direct TV DVR in my living room, can I stream something to my TV upstairs? - Amani from IM

careful with those external hard drives / "Home Network Storage " devices, even from WD...if they dont say DLNA certified..dont bother. - Carlos Ayala

this one says DLNA 1.5 certified. - Amani from IM

so DLNA works better with PS3's than UPnP? I'm finding a lot of software options Amani: http://www.joystiq.com/2007..., but these are based on UpnP - chrisofspades

yes,,its a much more than a hard drive. its smart. its a true network storage device....it will automatically backup files...it comes RAID 5 out of the box for true redundancy...which means if a drive fails....put in another and it will rebuild itself.you mark a folder or folders on your computer and it will automatically back it up 24 hours a day. all your devices on your network can talk to it. - Carlos Ayala

What is UpnP? (I am learning on the fly here). Carlos - Could my 360 and PS3 read things off the same device? - Amani

@chrisofspades i plugged my WD into the network...ran the cd for the backup program....mark one folder for backups...turned on my PS3...and there it was. 5 minutes total. only because i decided to run the cd. - Carlos Ayala

i can speak about the 360. i dont have one. - Carlos Ayala

Upnp is Universal Plug and Play. Its designed to do what DLNA does. PlayON, for instance, is a upnp server. ive had issues with upnp. never with dlna. - Carlos Ayala

sounds like WD has a couple of options: Sharespace that Carlos linked to and My Book World edition that I linked. only difference seems to be capacity. - chrisofspades

@chrisofspades see my note above about DLNA and "Home Network Storage " devices - Carlos Ayala

$800 for that device Carlos posted. Hmmm ... Seems like a nice one. I would love if this one could stream stuff to all my TV's in my home. Is that possible? - Amani from IM

Amani....give PMS a shot...its tricky to setup..but once its going its good. i stream stuff wirelessly from my macbook and mbp to it when i dont feel like turning on my windows workstation and running playon or tversity. - Carlos Ayala

shop around for it Amani. i paid 450 for it. - Carlos Ayala

some more software solutions here, using DLNA and PS3: http://rolfje.wordpress.com/2009... - chrisofspades

@chrisofspades "TwonkyMedia" is just that twonky. i did not like it at all. the other two are $20 and $40 respectively. PMS works and its free. your mileage may vary - Carlos Ayala

as far as streaming to all your TVs Amani, if you have a game console attached to each one, then conceivably it would work since they all seem to support DLNA/UPnP. except maybe the wii. - chrisofspades

@Carlos haha. I'm just using google here. no personal experience with any of this. - chrisofspades

$450 ... hmm... that is pretty good. Carlos - can it help me with all my TV's? - Amani from IM

only if you have a ps3 connected to it as far as i know Amani - Carlos Ayala

@chrisofspades i know i am just putting it out there. not dissing you or anything. its all good man. - Carlos Ayala

i need to go take care of a few things..i will try to make it to tonights show..we can chat then if not DM me whenever you want or just post here and i will follow up. Good luck fellas. - Carlos Ayala

who said anything about dissing? *looks around* I just mentioned that cuz your view is more valid since you have experience w/ it - chrisofspades

thanks carlos. i will do more research and get back to you. Anyone else other there with ideas/tips.? this is great so far - Amani from IM

Amani, video of the WD My Book World Edition working on the 360: http://www.wdc.com/global.... I *think* that you would get the same thing out of the ShareSpace. - chrisofspades

and Carlos says it works flawlessly on the PS3. sounds good to me. - chrisofspades

so in addition to this, it sounds like I need to have a device hooked up to each TV to stream to it, right? Can a device be something else besides a gaming device? - Amani from IM

yes, you would need some type of device, and I assume any device that supports DNLA or UPnP would work. not sure what other devices do, though. - chrisofspades

gotta run but I'll be back in here later. - chrisofspades

I have Connect360 installed but haven't tested it out with the 360 yet, But both EyeConnect (have had it installed a long time) and PS3 Media Server (just installed and tested it) run fine on the Mac and access is clean from the PS3. You'll get better quality going direct from your laptop to TV (and less software and protocol hassles). With the little testing I've done, PS3 Media Server (free) is more configurable and less finicky than EyeConnect ($). - Tinfoil 2.0

In general, the PS3 will be more friendly to the Mac due to the emphasis on MPEG4 / h.264 support on both platforms. But you do need to consider where your content is coming from, i.e., what format(s) are your movies in? Mac Handbrake is great for converting movies into h.264, with settings for AppleTV, PS3, etc. One drawback to a network disk is that you'll presumably process movies on... more... - Tinfoil 2.0

I don't know about TV. But to stream movies to the TV, I stream movies/music to my PS3 through Vuze. Works like a dream. Sorry if somebody already suggested this. - The Fat Oracle

My older macbook came with an adapter that I use for my projector and my TV. Did they stop including this? It works for streaming and anything on my mac. I just went through this for a friend I sold my monitor and tv to, I'll see if I can dig up the links. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

Here is a link to the TV I have. http://www.samsung.com/us... Samsung LN 52B750. Says the tv is DNLA certified if that helps. Any other ideas? - Amani

that's exactly my tv. cool - Josh Haley

An AppleTV will work with all kinds of content if you add Boxee - Robert Hafer

So Robert if I get an Apple TV say for my TV in the bedroom(upstairs), could I stream stuff that is on my Network (Direct TV DVR, or my MacBook Pro, PS3 or Xbox 360) that is all downstairs? And Josh - sweet TV, no? Do you stream any stuff to it? - Amani

Yes, the Boxee hack (a very easy hackhttp://forum.boxee.tv/forumdi... ) lets you identify where your media is and the play it. A fast wireless connection is required for smooth playback of HD content. - Robert Hafer

Yeah the tv is amazing. I have been playing with DLNA options recently and the first thing I noticed is that the tv doesn't like to playback files hosted by anything but it's own Samsung dlna host software (on the disc I'd downloadable for free). Once I had that installed the treaming was not bad at all. BUT the whole playback interface and system that is built into the tv is pretty mediocre compared to the likes of xbmc. BUT it is a quick way to get things up and running, for sure. - Josh Haley

unless Apple tv has changed to be able to display full 1080p, I don't think our podcast was wrong about it. - Josh Haley

I am also wondering if I get the NAS Carlos described above and then use my old Acer laptop for upstairs with my bedroom TV, could that take care of streaming to that TV. That would avoid me having to purchase apple TV. Then I could use the PS3 to stream to the main Samsung TV and the X360 to stream to the Sharp TV in the adjacent room. Hmmm ... and now for the TV in the kitchen....... more... - Amani

Any dedicated computer directly attached to a TV will give you the best results / most options. Many free open source options are available. - Robert Hafer

Chris (or anyone else), any other ideas? I have a Laptop I am getting reformatted to use with my upstairs TV. I am going to get the WD Sharespace for my entire network. Then I have PS3 for one TV, Xbox 360 for another TV and laptop for the 3rd tv. Makes sense right? - Amani

sounds like that would do the trick, Amani - chrisofspades from email

Part 1 is complete. I have the laptop that has been successfully reformatted. Now I have to get the NAS (for cheap) and then tie everything together. Also need to figure out how to get my HD Direct TV DVR on this network. - Amani

PS3 will give you the best HD picture of the equipment you mentioned above. I use it with a Buffalo NAS to stream to Samsung TV. It works great. Buffalo NAS also has direct BT download capability and I can stream movies from my NAS to my iPhone. - Todd Bouey

Todd- How much space does your NAS have? I am trying to find a good deal on a 4TB one but have had bad luck so far ... - Amani

I got the 4TB Linkstation Quad and although I bought it on sale at Fry's, out the door it cost about the same as it would have online. Ease of return however was a good thing since the 1st model I brought home was faulty. It works fine as a server and has an interface for both PC and Mac, some of the "features" don't work as well as one might like, but then I guess these are not core server functions so I'm not overly disappointed in this respect. Customer service is pretty spotty though. - Todd Bouey

Looks like I am going to have to break down and pay $700 for mine. Can't find it online anywhere for cheaper. Maybe I can find a 10% off best buy coupon. - Amani

It has arrived. I will be installing it shortly. Wish me luck. - Amani

Homemade Girl Scout Cookies: Samoas Bars - http://bakingbites.com/2009...

خان دایی سیا, ◄ 道 ► D/\\/|I|D ッ, parazitt and 18 other people liked this

This is basically a shortcut recipe that still delivers all the great samoas flavor without some of the more tedious parts of cooking making. These bars have a buttery shortbread base that is topped with the caramel-coconut samoas topping and chocolate. It is made in three stages. First, the shortbread is baked and cooled. Then, the coconut topping is applied. Put the coconut on while it is hot, so it will be fairly easy to push it around. It’s a thick mixture, but a spatula is all you need to press it into an even layer. The bars should be cut after the topping has been applied, and even though the shortbread has a melt-in-your mouth quality to it, the topping holds the bars together well. I recommend using a large knife or a pizza cutter to slice up the bars easily and neatly; small knives don’t work quite as well. - Mahdi Ebrahimi from Bookmarklet

It's essentially a AA battery-powered 256 RGB system that straps to a bike's spokes and has a sweet spot of between 8 and 20 mph: At 8, you'll just start to see the patterns in the center, and at 20 the light show will have taken over your entire wheel. It's customizable, but only to a point, as you have to use the on-board buttons to alter the patterns rather than loading images via USB or whatever. Monkeylectric is available now for $60, which seems a fair price to have the best bike at your acid-tripping festival of choice. [Monkeylectric via Boing Boing Gadgets] - Bluesun 2600

Tomorrow I'm going to wake up at a reasonable hour and create an evil concoction of boiling water, a bit of soap, and something plant unfriendly. I'm then going to take said concoction outside and pour it on some English ivy and listen for little plant screams as it dies an agonizingly painful death.

What is wrong with English Ivy? - Ian May

Ian, it's invasive here. I think I'm going to add vinegar to the mix, and possibly a bit of bleach. I don't want to use ammonia because that provides available nitrogen which is actually a good thing (GAH!). If I use bleach I'll keep it at 10% and will have to be careful to apply only to the leaves and not get any on the ground. - FFing Enigma

that's all wayyyyyy too confusing for me.....if it wasn't near the house I'd just say torch it :P - Ⓐ ☠ slayerboy ☠ Ⓐ

LOL! Mike, it's near EVERYTHING. The thing with ivy is it has a wax coating on the leaves, so I'm thinking boiling hot water + soap + vinegar = dissolves the wax coating. Sensible, no? Oh, I know! I'll pour the boiling surfactant mix on them willy nilly and then spray them with the 10% bleach solution I keep for sanitizing. Do it in the morning and then let the sun bake it in. - FFing Enigma

I only asked as it looks so pretty growing up the side of old English cottages. Actually though it's not always a good thing there either, as it promotes dampness into the walls. - Ian May

Before I moved into this house, I loved the stuff. Evergreen, low growing, cute leaves. But I've got it everywhere and if left unchecked it'll choke out shrubs, kill full grown trees, and cause damage to houses it climbs upon. Actually, there's a dead and ivied tree that straddles the property line here: perhaps I'll brave the snakes and take a picture of it tomorrow. - FFing Enigma

Trish: do you have any left in the trees? You should be able to cut the vines at the base and the tendrils in the trees will die off. - FFing Enigma

http://www.nps.gov/plants... I spent about a half an hour looking for a natural way to kill it to no avail. I'm wondering if a black ground-cover cloth might work? After all doesn't it need light to live, that would seem to be the least chemical way to attack it, though prob the most expensive. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

Between the ivy and the periwinkle, I'm up to my eyeballs in 'quick spreading groundcovers'. My fingers are crossed that tomorrow's experiment will prove fruitful. - FFing Enigma

Oh Tina, good luck with your efforts! - Janet-The Bottley Crue

Herbicidal maniac! - Michael McKean

BWaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahha!!! I've just posted something about using alcohol to stunt plant growth, and concentrations over 10% are supposed to be toxic. So tomorrow's tonic is a bath of boiling water + soap + vinegar to dissolve the wax coating with a follow-up spray of a bleach and alcohol mix. - FFing Enigma

Tina, be careful, that by the time you finish, you don't end up with a mixture that's explosive... literally. LOL - Ian May

Dave just said the same thing! As long as I'm not putting ammonia in with my bleach, I should be safe. - FFing Enigma

Bleach plus alcohol equals Ethanol = Gasoline - http://www63.wolframalpha.com/input... - Brent - Yes I am

The results page I'm getting just shows the properties of the two and doesn't show the resulting compound. And I'm seeing where bleach disinfection is often directly followed by ethanol disinfection in hospital environments in order to prevent corrosion of the stainless steel. - FFing Enigma

Tina, another great place to check mixture. The msds page is required by all healthcare facilites for their workers exposure information as well as other things: http://hazard.com/msds/ - Janet-The Bottley Crue

just put any qualms to one side and use Round Up on it. - John Hardy

@John Hardy, I can attest to the fact Round Up feeds ivy, makes it stronger and harder to kill. I even injected the stuff in the main root system and the stuff didn't die. - Janet-The Bottley Crue

wow. I've only used it on out of control bamboo and it did the job but I'll defer to your experience there, Janet. - John Hardy

I may not be in your network, but I have allot of reasons why I use FF over twitter. In fact I hardly ever hit twitter, it just seems like so much noise to me.

But then, I'm a product of gen x and am used to less noise in general. - InPerpetualMotion(Gina k)

If you study psychology and Anthropology, for humanity (and many other species) Bisexuality is considered the norm.

Well, Lindsey, for me, in hindsight, looking back I was always gay. I look at my behavior when I was four, five and six years old and I liked boys.

People used to always talk about how when you start liking girls you'll do this and that to... more... - Derrick

I'm sure there are lots of factors that go into it... we're all defined by our experiences, and sometimes by things we don't even acknowledge consciously. There are definitely personality traits that are influenced by genetics as well, we're all born with the potential to end up several ways, and what actually gets locked in is based on our experiences that reinforce one possibility and... more... - Lindsay

I'm straight because at the time of sexual imprint vulnerability society shepherded me into accepting a heterosexual role. Most people imprint straight for similar reasons. I believe it's the path of least resistance. Gay people probably have some genes to thank, but may also have a critical experience during puberty (height of sexual imprint vulnerability) that leads them in whatever direction. - iTad

I think the sexual imprint idea is interesting but difficult to trace or prove. there are some whose *appear* to have been affected by incest or other traumatic experience (which is a whole 'nother ball of wax). outside of those obvious situations, how can an imprint be identified? - jbrotherlove

Like I said in that other thread, me and my bro had such similar lives to a point, but he turned out gay. I have thought about it a lot and have really done some soul-searching to see if I'm kidding myself...but, nah....I like women. - Rah-PM 2012

Interesting conversation. I've always personally leaned more towards people being predisposed genetically to being either gay or hetero.

I was around gay men often for most of my childhood growing up spending much time at the hair... more... - Mark Krynsky

The category "men who like to have sex with men" is both more particular, and more broad, than anyone really knows. At least, that has been my experience of the world. There's identity, there's orientation and there's behavior and opportunity. Those aren't identical spaces.

What do you feel about the fact that the gay organizations in Norway wanted people to use homophily ("homofili") rather than homosexuality ("homoseksualitet") ?

Of course I´m also aware that there may be differences in... more... - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ

That's interesting Thomas, I didn't know that. So they want to use a word that suggests a culture rather than a sexual orientation? In which case, I would have to decline. - Rick Powell

@Rick: I hear you. It may just be language though as "homofili" is defined in the dictionary here as "sexual attraction to the same sex, homosexuality" (it looks like there´s a much broader definition in English dictionaries). Looks like we just prefer the word without "sex" of the two meaning about the same. - ɯɥøq sɐɯoɥʇ
