OT Thread 2/2: Where's the OT Thread???!?!

PrintI am dying here in class without an off topic thread. I guess it isn't everyday that a dunce will make a fan post for us to take over.
Today is Groundhog day! Woot! (Great movie by the way). Apparently, Punxetawney Phil has predicted a longer winter. O well, feels like spring up here in Seattle.
Michael Phelps is busted for drug use. Man, I don't know why they are giving the guy such a hard time, if he could smoke and still be the beast that he is, he deserves at least some more recognition for his achievement.
DJ Hero is coming. Take that, Rock Band. Well, not a big fan of hip hop so it doesn't have much relevance to me, but I assume there are hip hop fans here that would be interested in it.

Luxury Swiss watchmaker Omega said it considered Phelps’ actions a private matter and a “non-issue.”
Imagine if you will that Phelps blazes up on a regular basis. Now imagine how much more beastly he’d be as an athlete if he didn’t. If I were his competition I’d be buying him smoke by the pound.

Good for Omega.
Shame on whoever took and released that picture. He should be more careful though, since his income is almost purely dependent on his sponsors.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
It's just entry 465897 in "why athletes aren't smart"
If Phelps wants to smoke, more power to him – but don’t do it in a situation where you can’t control what happens. Smoke at home with your friends.

Just like Leroy Hill.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
He's a 23 year old kid. Partying happens. He should be smart enough to be more discrete.
From everything I’ve ever read about him, he sounds like a douchebag, but man can that kid swim.

His "mistakes" are starting to pile up a bit.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
None of which invalidate his ability to swim
so let him be a kid.

But sponsors have certain expectations of him.
Part of his “job” is to not make them look bad.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I just never understood the idea
that an athlete being caught smoking pot would have any effect on the purchasing habits of the average purchaser of an Omega timepiece. But that’s just me.

I never understood why a 23 year old swimmer affected their purchasing habits,
but it’s more about the lower level sponsors. You can’t use him to market to parents and children if he keeps getting caught being drunk or smoking pot.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Trust me, swimming blazed is fucking hard.
And this guy managed to get 8 gold medals.
When I swam in high school, none of the swimmers (men or women, ew!) shaved their legs or anything until the district playoffs, and after we shaved we shaved a few seconds off of our times. Maybe this guy just gets high and practices swimming stoned, then in the olympics he goes sober and gains a lot of time.

You gained full seconds just by shaving?
I would have thought it would only be 10ths or even less.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
It was actually maybe 3-5 seconds.
The leg hair especially adds a lot of resistance, you’d be surprised.
by Fin on Feb 2, 2009 2:06 PM PST up reply actions
I would guess that you tapered your practices before the districts meet, and gave your body more recovery time
And that’s what caused your times to go down 3-5 seconds. There is no way you shaved 3-5 seconds off using only body hair unless you’re swimming a long race.
There are no good individual basketball statistics.
54!
Or IMMENSELY hirsute
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
This is completely right.
Being a swimmer my whole life, including now, its the taper that cuts the time and the shaved legs are more of a thing for feeling and to get you into a certain mindset. When I was still in high school I wouldn’t shave until the finals of the state meet and the most that ever gave me was .93 and most of that was from a confidence boost.
You just weren't hairy enough.

I have the same problem.
I’ve had a full beard for almost a year now, and the connectors still aren’t all the way coming in. It’s frustrating.
I'm 40 and I shave twice a week
and could probably get away with less.

Mid-thirties and same here.
My theory is the more evolved we become, the less facial hair we require.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
You would lose 5 seconds a lap from shaving,
although by the third lap it would have grown back again anyway.
I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! I DRINK IT UP!!
I swam competatively for 12 years.
When I shaved for regions it was an epic experience. By my senior year of High School I was so practiced that I never nicked myself once and my legs were all silky smooth.
Fear the NPE
You know, potpourri keeps a room smelling fresh.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I still have a noticable scar in the divit below your nose above your lip.
I cut myself bad the very first time I ever shaved. One of my favorite me/my Dad moments of my life.

I was also dying from the lack of an OT thread
but far too lazy to post one. I assume I wasn’t the only one.

Lazy, a bit hungover from the Super Bowl, stomach hurts from too many hot hot wings.
Yeah, I wasn’t going to bother to put one up. But now that it’s here….
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I think I may have eaten an entire box of wings after everyone left last night.
There was a pile of gnawed bones next to the computer and my stomach has felt like an overheated lava lamp all day.
I plowed through about 2/3rds of a box,
then washed it down with way to much chili/cheese/salsa dip and chips. I probably didn’t need that last (only) shot I took either.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Yeah, my stomach isn't too happy today.
I’m trying to figure out what to have for dinner that would soothe it.

I'd love to have more of those wings,

I’m getting too old to party for eight hours straight and then go to work the next day.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
What happens to all of the millions of little wing tiplets that go uneaten?
I probably don’t want to know, but whatever.
Wings, to me, are not worth the trouble.
They always seem like a good idea, but I’m hungry if I only eat a handful and I’m sick if I eat a lot.

Boneless wings kick ass though.
When they are made correctly.

That stings,

"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I bought a power adapter from Radio Shack about a month ago and it was $110,76
This was in central Idaho so the markup was probably higher, but there’s definitely cause there for “Should I buy it or just get a new laptop?”

This doesn't seem like a huge deal,

My power adaptor died the week before finals last year. Go find a new one quickly.

In college I had a virus eat my 50 page term project for a Physics class the day before it was due.
I had to rewrite the whole thing from my notes in one night. Check that, I think I had the first 6 pages saved on a separate disk, but still it sucked hard.
That being said, in no way did it feel like rape.
But at least with an adaptor problem, the work isn't lost.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
Perhaps it was a paper or a project that needed more than one day to complete.

There's a significant difference between 'a project' and 'five weeks of homework'
I don’t recall anyone who would simply call a major project ‘homework’, though bless ac’s heart if he’s the first :P

That's it--I've been staring at this comment on and off for over an hour.
I think it’s clear that “Don’t be mean—unless you’re Graham” is well-established around these parts.
But also don’t be condescending, or rude, or even presumptuous, when it comes to someone’s education. First you attacked ac, assuming he’d waited til the last minute to do five weeks of homework. Then, while he’s having a shitty day dealing with a broken computer, you let him know that his way of going to school is much easier than yours was.
I just don’t think either of these comments are necessary, especially since you don’t know ac and you don’t have any idea how he is going to school or which classes he is taking.

Lord knows nobody's ever said condescending and rude things to me in times of stress
They were wisecracks, ac is a man, and he can handle it and his business, and I know the reason for this comment goes way beyond the two comments made in this thread.
You win. I hope ac’s computer got fixed and he gets straight A’s.
Also, at some attempt to make this thread constructive
As someone who went straight from work to school 4 nights a week for 2-3 years and constantly had to produce printed/disk copies of electronic files at a moment’s notice, I understand the levity of ac’s situation, and got caught in similar trouble with deadlines approaching enough times to learn to always do the following:
Always, ALWAYS digitally back up your files by e-mailing them to yourself. If your computer goes straight to hell for any reason and you have an assignment due, you can get thee to a school library or work computer, access your e-mail and still have your work available. Even if the work is partially finished, if you can’t use your computer, the files are still there.
We now return you to your routine LL Gomez Bashing, already in progress….
That last line was unneeded.
I think there was a misunderstanding on the tone of your first post in this subthread, I, for one, didn’t read it as an insult.
However, these passive-aggressive swipes need to stop. LL has enough drama already; if you have an issue, bring it up directly with the people involved and stop making references to it to the public at large.
And that goes for everybody.
You're right, Gomez, it is a super easy class.
It’s also an MS Office worker retraining class; the entire point of the class is to be as easy as possible. So when you think your financial aid might be in jeopardy because you might not get a good grade in a class that you’ve had absolutely no trouble with due to something completely beyond your control, it’s somewhat frustrating.

Yup.
They really need to give each assignment and project a summary so that assignments that should take ten minutes for computer literate people don’t take an hour and a half instead.

I suspect your assignments and my assignments are structured much the same way
Do the primer lesson, then do one or more of the labs at the end of the chapter.
While I agree that a summary would greatly speed up these assignments, I do like the way the Cashman book is put together. I could give my copy to anyone and I’d feel fairly confident that they’d be able to use just that to figure out Office 2007.
I think it's a really excellent book, and I think I'll be grateful for it once we get into Access.
I just found having to dig the relevant information out of the primer lesson really frustrating, because I already know how to do what was being asked.

You've been watching too much late night TV.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
That was a Super Bowl halftime commercial?
Jesus Christ

I must have missed that one.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I'm concerned about America's old people if they are generating these people so much money they can afford a Super Bowl halftime spot

It was the one with Ed McMan and Hammer.
It may not have been halftime but it was during the game.
Fear the NPE
Ed McMahon's still alive?
Jebus.

McMahon and Hammer.
There’s two people who really need the money.
"Fights begin, finger prints are took, days is lost, bail is made, court dates are ignored, cycle is repeated."
I just purchased Flight of the Conchord tickets for May 11 at the Paramount
This pleases me a great deal. I suggest that you attend this as well.
We bought tix for the same night.
We should meet up beforehand. I’ll email you.

Excellent
Can’t wait for the movie, and hearing Bale go apeshit on set just makes it that much more exciting for me

Yup.
At one point he calls the director “McG”.

Dogs the D.P. for being unprofessional and then humiliates him in front of his entire crew.
On a film set it’s the director’s responsibility for keeping their principle talent in check. This McG clown has got no stones.

This pic really needs to be seen full size. Awesome.

So HDTV is fucking awesome, but what's with the frickin' channel 92.1, 5.1, etc???
Is there an online channel guide that lists my HD channels out? Where’s VS. channel? I want to watch cage fighting in HD! Anyone know where I could find a listing?

Careful, not all of those channels are really HD channels.
For example, with my TV channel 92-7 is TNT but not TNT-HD. 92-7 is simply the digital version of that channel as opposed to the analog version. The HD channels with my network are mostly in the 600+ channel range.
I'm still battling with Comcast over getting an HD-Box.
I really wish I hadn’t let my friend talk me into getting Comcast despite giving me a good rate for the first six months.
I'm not sure how to tell Comcast I fucking loathe them.

Call them and say "I loathe you. Fuckingly"

This is golden. I love the term "fuckingly."

They never asked for that and were happy to take my money.

I'm sure if you're polite and apologize to the call centre representative about your lack of information while providing a few snippets sympathizing with how difficult their job is
Making it clear you love their company and just wish to continue using their service they will magically fix everything.

Comcast doesn't but the underpaid lonely person on the other end who works for Comcast might

I'd love to care about Comcast in the form of urinating on their headquarters.

I could give you directions to the place if you want.
I was there a couple of weeks ago to pick up a DVR box.
I'm there. I'm sorry, but I also peed on your car's door handle.
Wait — no poop jokes.

If you don't have credit it's not on file with the credit reporting agencies.
It’s not Comcast’s fault.
by Aaron Campeau on Feb 3, 2009 12:12 PM PST up reply actions
But I do have credit.
That’s why I was so confused, so I also had my dad (who also has Comcast and just purchased a home in December) to try ordering an HD box. Ran into the same problem, his SSN and driver’s license doesn’t exist according to their system.
Don't be a lovable dick unless you're Rober-- wait....
