  1. [FONT=Calibri]Malt'O'Meal is not the brand that makes Honey Nut Cheerios. It's the brand whose claim to fame is that they channel the money they save on plastic bag packaging (instead of cardboard) and on not advertising into making breakfast cereal that tastes the exact same (and I do mean exact) as items marketed by Post and Kellogg's and such. But their HNC still tastes like Wal-Mart brand HNC. And now I have an entire bag of Cheerios I do not want to eat. Should have grabbed their Cocoa Pebbles instead. :( [CENTER]- - - - - - - - -[/CENTER] Facebook Says: "Your status update is too long. The maximum status length is 420 characters, but yours is 1325 characters long." I wrote three sentences. [SPOILER]At least it wasn't 1325 words.[/SPOILER][/FONT]
  2. [FONT=Calibri]Malt'O'Meal does many cereals the right way. Honey Nut Cheerios was not one of them. :([/FONT]
  3. [FONT=Calibri]I am testing Safari again. First difference I notice is that when I open a new tab instead of a huge blank empty space I am presented with twelve site options, which will apparently change depending on my browsing tendencies. Kinda nifty. Also, here at OB the post box is different; I now have five drop-down boxes, the additional two being for smilies and attachments?although the box itself seems to be broken and is sliding outside the defined ... whatever you call the boundary box. Then again I don't have AdBlock. Tough decision.[/FONT]
  4. [FONT=Calibri]Depends on who's listening, doesn't it? :animesmil[/FONT]
  5. [FONT=Calibri]Or, in clearer terms, math is the discipline where what you're using to develop your concepts are actually definable. There is only one way to do math; it doesn't change. Now, the concept of a variable is awkward on occasion. I know many people who struggle with the part that [I]x[/I] can be anything because they translate that to "[I]x[/I] is anything", and that's not true. [I]x[/I] is [U]something[/U]. We just don't know what. So we solve equations for [I]x[/I] to find out what it is, and we solve inequalities for [I]x[/I] to find out what it [U]might[/U] be. But it's only one variable, which means it has (for each problem) only one actual value, whether or not we're able to figure out what it is. In the real world, we constantly encounter and process large amounts of complicated and inter-related variables without thinking about it because that's what we're used to doing. We don't even think about them as variables, we think about them as life. In the same way, I quit thinking about [I]x[/I] being a variable long ago. Now it's just another number. And it just so happens that I don't know what it is.[/FONT]
  6. [FONT=Calibri]I am under the impression that the only field that doesn't require some level of algebraic knowledge in order to build some of the more important conceptual skills contained in that field is ditch-digging.[/FONT]
  7. [FONT=Calibri]I forgot how ridiculously difficult some of the later levels in Gauntlet: Dark Legacy are. I can't figure out for the life of me how I managed to solo them before. Unless it was because I was a Warrior and basically beat the ever-loving snot out of anything in my way. And the toggle-items feature on the Gamecube version probably helped. A lot.[/FONT]
  8. [FONT=Calibri]Deciding what mascot you are is like picking your own nickname. Doesn't work. You are Toph.[/FONT]
  9. [FONT=Calibri]You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.[/FONT]
  10. [FONT=Calibri]Would you rather we dress her up as Raine or Toph, then? 'Cause that might be cool, too. I think she could pull Toph off, actually....[/FONT]
  11. [FONT=Calibri]I'm pretty sure she'd make an excellent platypus. Who wants to sew the costume? [COLOR="DarkRed"]Indi[/COLOR]?[/FONT]
  12. [CENTER] [IMG]http://wwwdelivery.superstock.com/WI/223/1444/PreviewComp/SuperStock_1444R-260615.jpg[/IMG] [FONT=Calibri]fix'd[/FONT][/CENTER]
  13. [FONT=Calibri]Or, in short, giving the public three days to assimilate the Baucus Bill is tantamount to saying "Read [I][U]War and Peace[/U][/I] in three days and be prepared for an in-depth discussion on any and all content." I can read it in three days, sure. Or I can give it the time it deserves to fully understand it. But given the magnitude of the bill, asking both is a bit much. Although I could do with another Allamorph to help out. Might actually be possible, then.[/FONT]
  14. [quote name='chibi-master']I'm moving to the U.K. first chance I get in my adult life! I'm tired of all the crappy political problems of the U.S.![/quote] [FONT=Calibri]In Britain it's quickly becoming a crime to be patriotic. Ask [COLOR=DarkRed]Vicky[/COLOR].[/FONT]
  15. [FONT=Calibri]I'm very good at what I do. And I only do it when some ego needs deflating.[/FONT]
  16. [quote name='Lunox][font=trebuchet ms'] I'm not talking about a summary from the government, I'm talking about news sources.[/FONT][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]Hang on, lemme wrap my mind around this. You want to depend on getting crucial information in an intelligent, citizen-minded dissemination, from today's news sources? lol[/FONT]
  17. [quote name='Lunox][font=trebuchet ms'] I mean really I don't think it'd be too hard to find a summary of it online. [/font][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]It's Congress. Do you really think that if the summary was enough they would have spent the effort to construct ten gross of pages, and not saved themselves the trouble? I'm sorry, hun, but knowing the [I]gist[/I] of the bill isn't enough when one's watching for a myriad ways someone can piggypack their own agenda onto it.[/FONT]
  18. [FONT=Calibri]From my anonymous friend on Facebook: [INDENT][I]Good news: The Baucus Bill is online for public review. Bad news: One would have to read and comprehend 20 pages per hour for the entire 72-hour review period in order to get through this thing before the vote.[/I][/INDENT] Thank you, Congress. Thank you. (For those who don't care to do the math, that is over one-thousand and four hundred pages.)[/FONT]
  19. [FONT=Calibri]Song popped up on my Pandora tonight: "1000 Times", by Course Of Nature. Anyone know anything about this band? Good, bad, ugly? Other than that been letting the station drift back and forth between Godsmack, Metallica, Porcupine Tree, 10 Years, and Saliva.[/FONT]
  20. [FONT=Calibri][COLOR=DarkRed]Kei[/COLOR] casts judgment, if I recall. Don't see as much else needs to be said.[/FONT]
  21. [quote name='Gavin][SIZE=1']Only double Al's though which makes sense I suppose.[/SIZE][/quote] [FONT=Calibri]That's because I'm actually random, and not spastic. :animesmil[/FONT]
  22. [quote name='Stephanie][size=1']Because then you'd want to rephrase it "Do you not think that is cool?"[/size][/quote] [FONT=Calibri] ^ Precisely. The question is a rhetorical dare. "Do you agree" and "Don't you agree" are similar in direct meaning, but are rather different underneath; the former is simply asking if you agree, while the latter implies that you should. [quote name='chibithingamajigger']I AM CARRYING 30 POUNDS OF BINDERS AND BOOKS ALL DAY.[/quote] lol sidebag (Helpful Hint: their straps are long enough that you can take the weight off your shoulder with one of your arms.) (Helpful Hint #2: Consolidate your binders.)[/FONT]
  23. [FONT=Calibri]The better question would be "do you have a flag?" [CENTER][IMG]http://videodetective.com/photos/660/002776_40.jpg[/IMG][/CENTER] No flag no neutrality. [I]*shot*[/I] [CENTER]- - - - -[/CENTER] But seriously, in reality that idea is rather unworkable. Again, as I've said to you on more than one occasion, the League isn't [I]actually[/I] a recognised power yet. So far in the history of the game it's been the background enforcer of rules and organisation, and has never really stepped forward politically. They're just stepping forward [I]now[/I]. So I'm fairly certain they haven't sat down and decided to come up with a flag yet.[/FONT]
  24. [QUOTE=James][font=franklin gothic medium]And was the Tea Party movement a reference to the Boston Tea Party by any chance? If so, that's probably an even more laughable play on words. Also to clarify, is the Tea Party movement the same as the town hall meetings?[/font][/QUOTE] [FONT=Calibri]Yes and yes.[/FONT]
  25. [FONT=Calibri]It was intended to be a "clever" retort to the large Tea Party movement that occurred in reaction to the health care proposal here. Those who wished to cast aspersions on said people began calling them "teabaggers" because of the play on the slightly less polite meaning. Oh, the maturity of our nation.[/FONT]
