Yes... when i was a kid, we used to get a treat of one or two 'Pop Shoppe' bottles of pop (probably around 500ml) a week. The rest of the time we were mostly drinking juice or water.
Now you see the 'fatties' loading up with case aftere case of pop (even the cancer causing diet pop seems to not help them lose weight) and people drink 6+ cans a day,
"I wonder why i'm fat?"
Also, "I'm fat, and i drink a lot of pop, and the pop has BPA in it and so does my pee: therefore (and ergo) I am fat, not because i drink a lot of pop: I am fat because of the BPA that i just happen to be consuming a whole lot of! It's not my fault, its the BPA's! When they get the BPA-free pop cans, I'll lose weight!"
KIRK "Spock... what is happening."
SPOCK "I don't know, Captain... let me put in my little ear thing and peer into my thingy."
BONES "It's obvious, Jim. It's dead."
I agree: How could you not go all geeky over this? I wish i had a tricorder and could beam over to China right now!
Amazon.com just sells books? Huh... did not know that.:)
But yes, they will sell you the loss leader for $4.99 hoping you will buy that book your dad always wanted for $13.99
It is how business is run. Sell you the printer cheap, hoping you'll buy their ink for $$$. Buy the PC hoping you won't install linux and will just keep buying windows upgrades.
The world keeps spinning...
Stores sell milk at a HUGE loss (about $2 a bag here in Canada), but then attempt to make up the loss by having you buy bread, eggs, cream, shampoo, Nix, etc.
Walmart used to move into a market and one competitor at a time, steal the market at their loss until the competition died. Sell shovels and dirt until the local hardware store closed, then jack the price. Sell clothing at a loss until the local clothing store closed: then jack the price. Selling at a loss was very smart for them (until they got Sherman's(?) anti competitive law shoved down their throat... but still, a very smart move that got them started to where they are today.
I'm not current on the whole sityation, but she'd have to be awfully damn blind to have let him have sex with her without a condom... putting the thing on is a monstrously obvious matter.
1. He puts one on and this is quite obvious
2. He pretends to put one on, but she is blind and cannot see he is going commando
3. He doesn't even pretend to put it on and goes commando and she is blind as a fire hydrant and doesn't notice.
He may be an ass, but she's not telling truthsies here.... or did i miss something?
For me, it was also about 'this is what mankind COULD be': I hoped that we would come together as a species and do something good, like travel into space as a peaceful cooperation effort, blah, blah, blah.
But i was young and hopeful.
And, I guess, stupid: 'man' is the most pathetic species on earth and will probably never be able to get together to do anything wonderful, really.
Farms on the Moon might be worth considering - but there are many unknowns - lunar soil is very very different from earth soil. Might have to stick to hydroponics till we figure more out.
Exactly... start working out the kinks on the moon and build a good base: then go to mars using the moon as a delivery point.
This rush to mars is nuts... rush to get there, then die. Good job: "Never leave a man behind... except for those guys... yeah... they're real, real far away. Yeah."

And from the Game of Thrones:
"Hodor!"
The man is a genius... a freakin' genius. 'Hodor', indeed. Brilliant!
If someone dies a horrible, screaming death in space and there isn't a tree there to hear them, do they really make a sound?
There you go, now you're not so boring after all... good man!

Can you give me the exchange rate on that for the Canadian quatloo? I'd like to get in on this wager!

the european microsoft conference thing where they had the video that talked about penises... or vaginas
:)
Go here: http://www.geekwire.com/2012/raunchy-windows-azure-dance-routine/
trying to be funny, but i guess not.
When a story related to breasts or vaginas comes up, feel free to comment.
Ah-ha! There are Microsoft shills on slashdot! I knew it!
Yes. less sagging over time. I'd go for that.
Yep... hanging like tea bags in the toilet, only it's cold water. Wonderful times.
Good times.
Yep.
Screw shades of gray.
In 50 shades of gray! :P
No, with Steve, anyways, I don't think 'it' is coming up ever again: he may be a stiff but....
For 'a vagina'?

Too bad.
Camel Toes!(They are delicious) My wife doesn't charge me anything at all.
Well, you're either gay... or vagina? Go Steve Balmer... no really. Go
As a protest against the treatment of Microsoft employees and in the spirit of PETA's ads, I will use Linux exclusively while stark naked.

Jeez... I do all that just for fun!
Just bring back FIREFLY!!!! dog dammit!!!!
Nah, he's just taken too many steroids. Just like ol' 'hide your face' Ben.
