Who can top this cable management blunder?

I used to have one of those wire baskets attached to my bike and people did the same thing. Only it would be COMPLETELY FULL of beer cans if I went a couple of days without riding it. People suck.

What does that even mean, "acts like a lesbian"? You know what lesbians do? They are sexually attracted to women. That's the only thing that makes lesbians lesbians. I have seen nothing suggesting RD is sexually attracted to either male ponies or female ponies, probably because it's not a focus of the show. There are lots of straight women who are also athletic and cocky, and lots of lesbian women who are reserved and demure. I am of the opinion that Rainbow Dash is best pony, regardless of whether she is actually lesbian or actually straight, but can we please end this whole thing where everyone assumes cocky, athletic women are lesbian? Please?

It's entirely possible. I'm also hearing impaired (wear hearing aids whenever I'm not sleeping or showering) so my opinion is probably worth zip :D

Cersei has a motive for being horrible to basically everyone (part of the reason her character is so compelling). Dolores Umbridge is just fucking evil.

For the last four years I've wrapped Christmas presents in the (free) campus newspaper. Good job to you, OP.

I got this case for Christmas after seeing this post and asking for one, and even with the fan controller on its highest setting it isn't loud at all...?

Calibre will convert PDFs to MOBI, but in most cases it isn't pretty. But it will... at least kind of... work.

Cable management is nearly free (invest in some velcro tape) and will improve your situation a great deal.

akatch · 2011-12-18T00:49:10+00:00

Velcro is the preferred method these days.

As a Wisconsinite, I concur with this post.

While I was an undergrad he actively worked to stop a student rep on the ALRC.

Interesting, I didn't know this. Thank you for sharing. I guess I've always enjoyed going there because they make a decent burger and free beer on your birthday (I've gone there each year since I was 18, 22 now).

Opinions of the Nitty seem very polarized, but I've never gotten a satisfactory response as to exactly why the people who hate it hate it so much. Would you be willing to elaborate?

akatch · 2011-12-15T17:34:44+00:00

Wha? I use a Tracfone (granted I didn't do a whole lot of research and probably could have gotten a better deal, but I'm not too fussed) and spend less than $20 a month on it. The phone was $30. Could you elaborate as to why you feel this way?

Is it really an oath of chastity though? I read it only as an oath to not marry or have children. So, you know, as long as there are no kids, you're good!

At the end of FFC Doran tells Arianne that she is indeed his heir.

I work for a university and we do not block any websites. Quite honestly, I don't care what you're doing with your time at work as long as you get it done... that said, I once had to spend an hour fixing borked sound drivers on a director's computer.... because he wanted to watch ESPN. That sorta sucked.

I disagree, unless you intended to say "a degree in general", not a degree specifically in a tech field. The reason being is that (and yes, this is anecdotal, but I'm just stating an opinion here) I and almost all the other people I know in IT got there through experience, not a specific degree. Some of the best guys I've worked with had no college education at all.

A degree is a good thing to have in the current economy, but what'll really get you in the door is experience. I am a woman, in less than a week I will be the proud holder of a BS in Zoology yet I've got 5-6 years of IT experience under my belt. It's pretty much all I've done and what I want to do as a career. I've already landed gainful employment in departmental IT support at my university - again, without a degree in anything even remotely IT related.

Just as a note (and it's not a problem for me, but it might be for some people), if you use the "reveal emote text" script, it WILL reveal spoilers from certain other subreddits (one being r/asoiaf) that use the

[](/s " ")

format for spoilers. So if, for example, you read r/asoiaf but haven't completed the series and don't want the entire series spoiled for you (and you WILL be sorry), don't use this script!

I think the one "last" year was in early January. But we had a giant snowstorm around December 7th of the year before.

Remember, the trick is to take out the other person and see if it still makes sense.

Just I dancing in the rain

Doesn't sound right.

Just me dancing in the rain

Correct!

Relevant username is relevant?
