My Speaktoit assistant is Oliver, the British male voice. He murmurs gently to me any time a new text message comes in, and gives the most delight GPS directions.
Why would I want a pointless toy when I already have a perfectly serviceable laptop and two desktops? I honestly thought about dropping the $800 for an Asus Slider, but then realized there was nothing I'd want to do with it that I couldn't already do with my computers or my phone. What I've found is that the users who were so gung-ho about their shiny new iPads and wanted them in on the wireless network and had the rights and permissions to get onto the domain came to the same conclusion after about 3-4 weeks. (The exception to this has been some doctors, who use a custom build app for X-ray viewing to show their patients. Only legit business use I've seen, and only users who are still actually using them six months later..)
I know how to break into one in about five seconds. They're an enormous security risk, and I'm not an "enemy" because I don't think they belong on my network. If Apple wants to made a ruggedized iPad designed to hook safely into a domain based corporate network, then I'll consider that a business machine, but until they do, I'm going to call the iPad what is is - a toy. Period.
I tried going au naturale when it came to the lotions, but that was a disaster. I believe the climate in which I live is not comparable to the climate that my ancestors adapted my skin to over the centuries. Zits are all firmly under control now with a skin care regime that involves stuff specifically made for sensitive skin with no artificial ingredients.
Now is the time to come back... level 99 just got released. 95 limit break is fighting against a very nasty Tarutaru MNK who likes to Final Heaven you every five seconds. Fortunately, it's a party fight, and pretty easy if you have a party of pet jobs.
One thing I like about cooking shows is that you know the pretty food is real. How? Well, you watched it get made, and then once it's all assembled, the chef digs in and takes a big bite (and usually moans in appreciation in a humorous way, in a few cases apparently having a foodgasm. Claire Robinson told her film crew she needed to have some "alone time" with a fig glazed pork roast she had just taken a bite out of...)
It's a WW recipe all right: Take 1 box of spice cake mix (~40 PP depending on the brand), the required amount of egg in the form of egg substitute (1 PP for 1/2 cup), and a 15 oz can of mushed pumpkin. Follow the recipe on the back of the back, but replace any required vegetable oil or melted butter with the pumpkin. Whip it up good with a mixer for two minutes, and use a mini cupcake tin for two batches of 24 each (or use two tins at once, if you have two) and bake according to directions. Should make 48 mini cupcakes, and they're 1 PP each, even if you eat ten.
The young and impressionable. After around age 25, you begin to realize that the world is full of lies and lying liars, and you need to take everything with a grain of salt. Believe nothing you see, you hear, or you read.
If I was in more of a professional position, I might feel the need for, at the very least, lipstick. As I'm in a small IT shop, I'm just one of the guys, so to speak, and there isn't much of a need when I rarely leave my desk since I do my work remotely.
A gal's perspective here. This is something that I learned as a teenager: Makeup is actually bad for your skin. If you care for your skin properly as a teenager and a young adult, and don't slather twenty layers of makeup on it daily, then your skin actually stays pretty nice looking through your thirties and forties. However, if you wear makeup regularly as a youngster, you'll need to wear makeup for the rest of your life. (Not smoking also helps a lot as well.)
I do wear light makeup on special occasions, but during the week at work I just don't bother. I use a clear combo gel/powder with sunscreen called MagicX instead of foundation on "bad skin days." That's all I need, even though the cosmetic industry thinks I need to have twenty different products on my skin daily. I splurge on good lotions and night treatments, but because I do that, I don't need makeup - or photoshop - to have a nice looking face.
The whole point of the design of that reactor was that it was designed to withstand an earthquake of that magnitude. If cracks formed during the earthquake, then the design was faulty from the start.
Aren't they supposed to be inspected for this sort of thing on a regular basis? How the heck did they pass safety inspections with cracks that weren't properly sealed? I suspect that, although they've reached cold shutdown, the "fallout" from this incident is not yet done.
We tried. We really did. Then our users started to complain that their browsing history was gone. Apparently, some of them had never heard of this strange thing called "bookmarks."
Even if that doesn't prevent the smash & grabs, that will probably prevent you from getting pulled over, or fully ticketed for a situation bad enough to warranty a pull-over. $25 for an automatic "I'm a good girl, look I gave your frat money, please don't ticket me" is a wise insurance policy.
If I have to keep the laptop (or anything valuable) in the car, I have a ratty, bulky old jacket that I toss over it on the passenger's seat. Anyone casually glancing into the car for goods to loot will see a nasty jacket that even Goodwill would throw away, and nothing else.
A bill doing just that has been introduced, but I doubt it will go anywhere until the current bunch of bums is thrown out. (I hate people who scream "throw out the bums!" and then re-elect their own Congressmen.)
Now that I've read the article, it makes sense. The LAN stations are built into the walls and fold out only when necessary. That way you don't have empty kiosks hogging up the living room when you're alone at 10AM in the morning. Less efficient for actual LANning, but far more efficient for space constraints and clutter reduction.

Stick around and I might share my recipe for fat free pumpkin spice cupcakes!

Yes! I am Catwho on Bismarck.
Very much true, which is why I've worn more sunscreen than foundation in my life. MagicX has SPF 15 built in.
Girls on the internet: Single, sane, attractive. Pick two. (I'm the latter two. Got snatched up by a lucky guy nerd ten years ago.)

Given those choices, it's a heck of a lot easier to just run for office ourselves.

Mouth the words, and then closed caption the lyrics.

Or FUK.
