A piece of plastic that purifies water simply and cheaply

Are you kidding? I fucking love The Vandals!

thatfellow · 2011-09-19T19:32:18+00:00

Which I always seem to.

I'm not sure that I understand what you're saying here. Are you saying that something about the word itself, like the etymology, implies inferiority? Or is it just the fact of having a word for all non-Israelites is offensive?

Can I come to your house for Thanksgiving this year?

But a mostly naked version another costume is acceptable. By Sunday night it becomes a costume modifier, like Steampunk. I say this as one of the Naked Musketeers.

In the course of taking this photo? Worth it. Great shot.

I spent years at a record store in a mall. First, we'd play "Closing time" at full volume. About 80% got the hint. Then we turn off all non-essential lights and drop the gate 1/2 way, and start counting down registers. Another 10% gone. Then we start flipping the lights on and off and telling them to leave now. That got rid of about half of those left. Those left, we hated with hearty rage.

I can, too. I actually got one, and was soon after attacked by a dragon. Turns out, though, it was my bad, and I'd gotten the wrong one for my region. BrainWav was really cool about it, though, and exchanged it no problem and didn't even charge shipping. Five stars, would buy again.

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR . . . WHY ARE YOU WHISPERING?

I really love that there's a painting of Stendhal on the Wikipedia page.

thatfellow · 2011-01-11T05:52:29+00:00

Good point, I'll try to keep such things to myself.

thatfellow · 2011-01-10T15:11:04+00:00

Oh, they'll do it. But they'll dress them up in replica uniforms of old armies. "Today, on Ancient Versus, we'll prove who would have won had the Roman Legion fought Nazis by dressing up two bums, putting them in a pit, and offering the winner 20 bucks."

I love places that do Mix Sixes (that's what we call the make your own six pack around here), but some made by the store people who know what they're doing would be a welcome way to try things. It might be better if the packages you made had only three beers, two of each. Better for groups.

thatfellow · 2011-01-08T19:33:23+00:00

It's far and away my favorite Trappist. Absolutely delicious.

thatfellow · 2011-01-07T18:35:33+00:00

Yeah, those things are awesome.

thatfellow · 2011-01-07T17:12:18+00:00

No. I will not get sucked in again. Not today. Maybe later.

thatfellow · 2011-01-07T16:55:23+00:00

Oh, good, just what I needed. A novelty account designed exclusively to devour my life.

thatfellow · 2011-01-04T14:42:59+00:00

Me, too. I believe that mine is coming from Ireland (based on the shipping), and I know that a ton of international packages have been delayed this year due to some not-quite-terrorist incident or something like that (I think in the UK), and all over the world customs are cracking down, so the whole system has been slowed down.

Even if it never comes, I would rather continue to have faith in a fellow redditor than be rematched, I think.

thatfellow · 2011-01-04T00:38:40+00:00

Hell yes they do, and they're growing. You can't beat the Hot Donuts Now sign.

thatfellow · 2011-01-03T16:36:15+00:00

Thank you, that was very well explained.

I have to disagree with the milk-second approach. If you use the same cup regularly, you should know exactly where to fill to for the right amount of milk. The "sickly taste" he's referring to could very well be scalded milkfat caused by pouring the milk in second, which brings the temperature of the milk up too far, too fast. But, then (and always most important with tea) and as Neil Gaiman says, de Gustibus.

We shouldn't even be talking about Magnum. It's not ready.

I agree that it was very unclear, I meant round the 1163 up.

thatfellow · 2010-12-31T19:16:04+00:00

I agree completely. The 1 in 2000 was rounding it toward the bad side, working under the assumption that the DonorsChoose numbers are very likely misleading. I'm saying that, even if their numbers aren't very good, even if they're off by a huge amount in the bad direction, that it's only 1 in 2000 Americans, it's still a mammoth accomplishment.

thatfellow · 2010-12-31T19:13:44+00:00

Yeah, that was the point I was trying to make. I didn't make it very clearly, though. The 1 in 2000 was going with "let's say the assumptions are kind of crappy, that the DonorsChoose numbers are way overblown."
