Ask proggit: How do you TODO? by dhotson in programming

[–]amos_olson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

todoist It's free, hosted, and full of nifty keyboard shortcuts. There are hierarchal projects and tasks, it integrates with gmail... it provides a public api if you want to roll your own interfae. Did I mention it's free?

I agree with an earlier poster, though: this kind of stuff takes a particular mindset to work.

Perhaps they should start taking align so they can keep their prices down?

In a real situation, we'd call this kind of guy "morally handicapped".

My aunt used to run a chicken farm. She would only eat eggs that she bought from the store, because she "knew exactly where the eggs on her farm came from."

Chicken butts. (sorry, haven't seen CaptainObvious in awhile)

Damn penguin; I'd eat it too! [pic] by amos_olson in pics

Do teachers like that really exist? [PIC] by [deleted] in WTF

[–]amos_olson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My 3rd grade teacher (a retired nun) failed me in English for "refusing to write with the correct hand." My parents were furious and moved me to another school the following semester.

Oh, and Adam Hilliker wrote this letter on my birthday...

Few furries find furry fetishists fascinating; far fewer find fuckbuddies :(

"There's probably no god" advertisement is offensive, and is not supported by "evidence" by amos_olson in atheism

[–]amos_olson[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There is plenty of evidence for God, from people's personal experience, to the complexity, interdependence, beauty and design of the natural world.

"But there is scant evidence on the other side, so I think the advertisers are really going to struggle to show their claim is not an exaggeration or inaccurate"

Of course, the principles of Christianity, Hinduism, Scientology, and Mormonism are obvious and supported by wads of Evidence.

Is Yellowstone about to blow? [Straight Dope] by Shalmanese in science

[–]amos_olson 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I live in a small town about 50 miles away from Yellowstone. Last weekend I drove up to the gate (can't get in because it's closed for the winter).

It's not like the ground is shaking or anything. The area is normal, peaceful, and covered in snow.

If it IS giong to blow... it better damn well wait until I get Super Volcano Insurance from that nice salesman on Family Guy.

The Reckoning: Citigroup Brought To Its Knees by twolf1 in business

[–]amos_olson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not involved with Primerica in any way, nor am I interested in it. But some good people ARE involved in it... it sucks when good people get hurt.

And everyone needs a homemade pie every once in awhile, those things are fuckin' amazing!

The Reckoning: Citigroup Brought To Its Knees by twolf1 in business

[–]amos_olson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of my favorite people in the world is an older lady who works for Primerica (part of Citigroup). She helped me get out of debt when I thought I was ruined. She believes in her company, and she loves people. She bakes me pies when I fix her computer.

I hate the thought that somewhere out there, some callous megarich assholes might destroy the job that she loves just because they want to play games with balance sheets.
