I had that with a gross dental thing. Nothing budged the taste until, in desperation, I tried a danish pastry. I think it was the fat plus fine-grained sugar that finally muscled out the grossness.

Is that up? It looks uppish.

Oh, those are comparison photos (for those equally decaffeinated: first two pics are before/after, last two are after/before).

Yes, that's uppish.

"Has a good memory" may be the only option that doesn't need inventing.

There's "sharp" but that usually indicates intelligence as well.

poxic

Wooooooooooot! and also I think beards grow?

poxic

Wow, jewish_scientist. Miss the point much? Your takeaway is "cops need more target practise"?

Wait until the manufacturers start cheaping out and it all goes shitty. Worked for me.

There can never be too many cat avatars. Or cats.

Iirc, he makes a fair amount from the store.

I've only read Diamond Age. Had some quibbles but overall a good read.

Most of the criticism I've read has been from people who don't appreciate how cool it would be to be directly targeted by a major work of entertainment for goddamn once.

I was reminded today of the history of Hogan's Alley in Vancouver, in the Strathcona neighbourhood in the Downtown Eastside. Wiki article with some sources , excerpts below. A multi-ethnic community existed in a 2x4 block stretch in one of the poorer parts of town from the early 1900s to around 1970...

Beyond Dark Castle?

No idea about the second one.

poxic

Can't say you weren't warned.

Also can't say I'm not mildly intrigued.

Aww. Time to go find more of her stuff and read it.

poxic

Can't pick out a six-second location from the original that has no guitar and no vocals, so it might be a remixed or live version. If it isn't this song exactly, then it's been quoted by another artist.

The reviewer understood what the movie was supposed to be about. Her argument was that the general tone and constant fat jokes accomplished the opposite.

She Drives Me Crazy, Fine Young Cannibals. I just happened to be wondering where the hell they disappeared to.

This is ~~FaiD~~ ~~xkcd~~ a bigole pile o' nerds. We will take any excuse at all to shitpost/informapost/nitpickpost/postpostpost.

I read one review that stuck with me. A woman who was now trim said she felt shamed and awful for ever having been a large person after seeing Shallow Hal.

In this context, it implies a firing line (standing in front of a squad of gunfolk). I've seen other uses that are closer to "we've got nowhere to run", I think, e.g. "we're up against a wall here".

Happy halfway-through-January day (local timezone permitting)!

Phalanges specifically refer to the fingers. The wrist and hand bones are carpals/metacarpals. If you slapped the ball, you were playing metacarpal ball.

God is watching you metacarpate?

Welcome and stuff. Also say hi to Fred for me.

Art in general is like that (and come to think of it, so is science). It's a deep, deep game that can keep you fascinated for a lifetime.

Every warrior princess (and prince, and badass in general) has to have their version of curling into a ball and crying now and then. It's one way we refill our reserves of badassness.

The shirt in the old pic made it look like you were holding a keytar, which would have been awesome.

The new pic makes you look like a warrior princess who takes no shit, which is also awesome.

Holy crap, I had no idea McCandless was that old (ergo, that picture was that old).

Merry googlyeyes to all.

So apparently gingerbread flavour "Cake in a Mug" mixes are not designed to be baked in hockey-puck-sized foil pans in a toaster oven at 350F for nine minutes. I added an extra tablespoon of water because the batter wasn't getting thoroughly dampened, but that was also probably not how it ...

My red-headed buddy wears a lot of leopard print. That might just be her, though.

Sorry to see you go, if only temporarily. Please do come back and post in the fleeting/shitposting threads now and then so we don't go into withdrawal, eh?
