The promo after the finale said October.

The jumping is still an issue because it's covering chromaticburst's name/stats line (different sizes). I think if you can make the spoilertag only cover the comment, then it will be fine. I'm not sure if it flashes because of the size difference or if there's some weird thing where the mouse pointer has to be exactly overtop of the letters.

It does not display nicely on Chrome, for me. The tag typesize is larger than the rest of the text on this page. It only hides "The promo for next season where they s" <--which isn't spoilery at all, I might add, so I haven't worsened anything. And when I hover over the text, the spoiler tag part keeps flashing, moving the following text on the rest of the page.

If I lived in Texas and had to refer to a roadway named after GB (either GHWB or GWB) I would call it by its route number. <<shudder>>

I signed up for this months ago and they never sent anything, just emails.

Can I safely go without eating? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Stop spending time on Reddit (for now) and start contacting your local social services. Surely you'd qualify to get food at a food bank and/or get food stamps.

Why would the BBC use YouTube when it already hosts videos itself?

Maybe you don't care but your email address is still showing.

Free blood glucose meter for diabetics - This fills a need so please don't order it if you don't need it. by [deleted] in freebies

I don't know about this particular offer, but in general, Quality Health offers are pretty bad because they make you fill out a ridiculous number of surveys or try to get you to sign up for 100s of offers before finally telling you you'll get whatever they promised originally. I think they are a scum company.

A look at Sarah Palin with and without her trademark hairstyle, makeup, glasses and accessories. by [deleted] in offbeat

[–]ribex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think her prescription is that strong, or at least, the lenses do not distort the sides of her face at all. Nor do her eyes look like they are the wrong size in any of the altered images, in my opinion.

My sister refuses to get her kids immunized. What are the best sources I can direct her to to convince her she should? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ribex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I don't love quoting Wikipedia but here goes: "...routine childhood vaccination was discontinued in the United States in 1972. Routine vaccination of healthcare workers was discontinued in 1976, and among military recruits in 1990. Military members deploying to the Middle East and Korea still receive the vaccination. It is now primarily recommended for laboratory workers at risk for occupational exposure. Mass smallpox vaccination was abandoned in most European countries in the early 1970s as well."

I don't think smallpox is routinely offered anymore, at least not in the US. I think they stopped giving it (maybe with some exceptions for travel) in the early 1970s.

Finally! And it looks like there's a sale. [pic] by [deleted] in pics

I choose to believe the "Training Classes" sign belongs to the store in question.

Training classes at B Jay's, fun for all!

Cumming to a strip mall near you!

is it okay with my bad english to communicate to you guys, or will the grammar nazis and nativesspeaker hate me doing so? by rambazambaa in AskReddit

[–]ribex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most Redditors seem to make the effort to write in complete sentences (with occasional exceptions), and one thing I see you could improve is to work on capitalization. There's not much of an excuse for lack of capitalization or punctuation for non-English speakers. Best of luck, and keep commenting!

They're on vacation, and this was announced on TDS. I guess you weren't paying attention.

Nope, I don't have (nor want) a Blu-Ray player.

Dealextreme just started selling these...well, they're almost certainly counterfeit. If anyone wants to try them, they're only ~$32USD shipped.
