  1. Re:I want one!!! on Meet URL, the USB Porn-Sniffing Dog (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    I currently have one vehicle and a wife that also drives it so you never know where the keys will end up. If she didn't hang them back up they are most likely on the kitchen counter or the nightstand but not always.

    Last I heard that friend was doing something electronics design in aviation for the airforce in the 90s.

    I haven't heard anything about Devry in a long time but I had a friend that went there in the early 80s, he worked on the internals of teddy ruxpin while he was still in school.

    If the dog could find the tv remote and car keys he truly would be mans best friend. I would send my dog to that training camp.

    They both JUST WORK for me, probably because I use my cell phone in mostly a novel and unusual way... to place and receive phone calls.

  6. If they are going to argue over it, they can just give me the .005%

  7. Re:Cold calls should just be illegal on Fake Google Salesmen Are Actually SEO Telemarketers (vortex.com) · · Score: 1

    I forgot about politics but I get town hall meeting teleconference calls that are legitimate. I didn't intend to but accidentally checked the wrong box on a form and just never got around to canceling it. I may have listened to the meeting twice in a couple years, and never requested to ask a question.

  8. Re:Cold calls should just be illegal on Fake Google Salesmen Are Actually SEO Telemarketers (vortex.com) · · Score: 2

    I don't remember ever receiving a legitimate cold call on my current land line and I have had it for almost 17 years. I get phones call on it 4-5 times a week mostly someone claiming to be an IRS agent, Microsoft technical support, or card service but it's not Rachael anymore.

    I think the only legitimate calls I get on my land line are to confirm appointments for the doctor's office and vet or the pharmacy letting me know prescriptions are ready and these are few and far between.

    He liked to use his own special blend of water and everclear... Kind of like rubbing alcohol only you could drink it.

  10. My power bill average around $170/month but I've gone electric on my appliances and added a electric heater in the garage but even before that I averaged around $130/month which would make 20,0000 in about 13 years

    As for the roof... I live in the mid-west it's cheaper but i think your estimate is still of I'd need to have 6,000- 8,000 sq ft roof to pay that for just a shingle job.

    I was thinking the same thing isn't alcohol usually a mostly blue flame to begin with.

    I've seen more than my share of alcohol fires in the 80s... I had a bandmate that would catch himself on fire all the time and spit fire I'm surprised he never burnt himself.

    That or someone from the label was sharing it with someone authorized in a very unauthorized manner and it was just picked it up off a scraper and posted all over reddit and youtube...

  16. It depends on the make model mine is like $200 a door for the motor and assembly then $30 for the switch... then you have to drill out all the pop rivets if it's never been changed before and good luck installing the new motor and assembly hope you have tiny hands... sound like a crappy Saturday to me...

    The US has many schools 2-5 in each state and they don't all fall under the same category. If you are comparing that to the big ten for chemistry in the US then you are wrong if you are comparing that to a random state university that happens to have a chemistry program then you could be right but anyone that picks the wrong school for their field probably isn't that good to begin with.

  24. One foreign language is required in the high school where I went to school and my sons although they don't offer Latin anymore. That's a public school in the mid-west....
