  1. Why does Twitter seem to attract the worst of humanity, more so than other social venues?

      I'd argue that the comments on any news story on any given day brings out the worst in people

      I mainly use Twitter "indirectly" via Nuzzel -- when something gets shared a bunch of times, it rises to my attention

      I just follow soccer pundits and a few other things that interest me, so I haven't seen stuff that was that bad. The religious and political rumblings on Facebook are another matter, which is why I don't go there.

  2. I watched the eclipse and now I can't see anything!

  4. We've done the research and unfortunately I have some bad news: there's only one way to rock. I surveyed literally every red rocker out there, and that was the answer.

      I'd like to grab a very sharp stick and put it into their "softer side".

      Randy: Napoleon, give me some of your tots.

      Napoleon Dynamite: No, go find your own.

      Randy: Come on, give me some of your tots.

      Napoleon Dynamite: No, I'm freakin' starving! I didn't get to eat *anything* today.

      Randy: [Kicks the pocket with the tots, crushing them]

      Napoleon Dynamite: Ugh! Gross! Freakin' idiot!

      Maybe tech support can attach it to an email and send it that way. Different server, hopefully.

      I remember back when 32MB was a giant file, how big could that iso be?

    4. Ransom

      It finally sped up, and finished! The ISO was 8 GB. Near the end, it finally sped up to 30 mbps.

      Apparently this has been answered experimentally; as I recall, it was an average of about 370 licks for a typical Tootsie Pop.

      Probably because blonde hair and caucasian skin are very close in overall tonal value. By darkening their roots, it helps to increase contrast and "frame" their face better. Otherwise, to get their facial features to stand out, they would have to put on more makeup (heavier eye shadow, brighter lipstick, etc).

      Black bile stains are the worst! But when you have an imbalance, what choice do you have? And it seems to get all over everything, no matter what you do!
