Overnight Open Thread (03-31-2017)
Art, like morality, consists of drawing the line somewhere.
-- G.K. Chesterton
Impartiality is a pompous name for indifference, which is an elegant name for ignorance.
-- G.K. Chesterton
Idolatry is committed, not merely by setting up false gods, but also by setting up false devils; by making men afraid of war or alcohol, or economic law, when they should be afraid of spiritual corruption and cowardice.
-- G.K. Chesterton
The Bible tells us to love our neighbors, and also to love our enemies; probably because they are generally the same people.
-- G.K. Chesterton

Why Vladimir Putin Covets Montenegro
"Probe with bayonets," Soviet ruler Vladimir Lenin famously said. "If you encounter mush, proceed; if you encounter steel, stop." Like his late predecessor, Russian President Vladimir Putin will advance until he meets steel. Until this week he met mush in, of all places, the United States government thanks to Republican Senator Rand Paul from Kentucky who used an arcane senate rule to block a vote on the accession of tiny Montenegro -- the former Yugoslav republic on the Adriatic between Albania and Croatia -- from joining NATO.I like Michael Totten. Regardless of his leanings, he seems to exert some effort to learn and to remain unbiased.
Shale Companies Found a Way to Be Profitable
The Dallas Fed just issued its quarterly energy survey, and in it are some special questions on what price of oil shale firms need to profitably operate existing wells, and what oil price they need to drill new ones as well. These prices vary by shale basin (and even within shale basins), but overall it looks like most U.S. shale operations would be able to continue to turn a profit even if oil prices were to drop $20 per barrel, and current prices are enough to profitably drill new wells in nearly every shale formation.How can this be? I thought we had reached Peak OilTM! Could it be that there is some heretofore unknown force that is exerted on businesses to make them more efficient in the face of market pressure?

Why We Should Bring Back "Ma'am" and "Sir"
The ma'am-haters are correct to object when the title is meant to diminish. But in driving it wholesale from the vernacular, we are raising children who have no tool of language with which to convey respect. And never seeing respect in action, they're less likely to have it at all.
The coarsening of discourse has been a complaint of us curmudgeons for a very long time. It won't be fixed....ever. But that doesn't mean that saying "yes please" and "no thank you" and opening doors for ladies is a bad thing.

In the year prior to my divorce, I began creation Word files in a hidden subfolder. There wound up being over three hundred of them. It was cathartic just to get them out of my head and on e-paper.
After we sold the house and I moved, I invested in a ream of paper, printed them all out and began a roaring fire out in the firepit with them. The ring went in when the fire was at its height, about 20 logs. It felt wonderful.

Montenegro itself doesn't bring any additional capability to NATO, only an additional obligation. Furthermore since NATO actions require unanimity with major decisions, if Russia is able to control its government via proxy, Russia will then have an effective say in what NATO does.
In short, I think NATO itself is obsolete and nations who want to be under our military protection should seek bilateral military ties with us.
Just my two cents.

In #2weeks,,, and a day, a guy is going to be video recording us using 3 digital cams and has some kind of shotgun mic tied into one of them.
A friend says it does pretty good but his bands sound isn't near a clean as ours is. What can I say, Bose L2's controlled by a nice board with Midas pre-amps. The one bad thing about the board is no way to send direct to record.
The room is fairly small and the last thing I want to do to the audience is clutter it up with 2 more mic stands on top of 3 camera tripods.
The ev ening is still for them not us.
Any suggestions?

Just as a side note, Spain actually has an aircraft carrier (sort of. It's an amphib helo carrier that's Harrier-capable). The Limeys retired all their carriers, and the new HMS QE isn't due to be commissioned until later this year, and won't be mission-capable for another 3 years afterwards.

In early 2006, when Dick was courting me, he came up to SE PA to visit. We went to a local diner. The waitress called us "hon". Dick called her "ma'am" and she got all offended. Her last sentence to us was, "I'm NOT old!"
Call me old fashioned, I like the use of "sir" and "ma'am". I never used those terms until I moved to Texas, but they just seem to work. I'll probably use them for the rest of my life, diner waitresses be damned.

The older brother took after his mother, and is nice. The younger one took after his father and is a major league dick. He got married years ago, and then divorced.
He manged to take that girl to the cleaners, getting full custody of his daughter and everything. How he managed it, I only heard a little bit about. But it was because he was such a dick.
The system will screw a nice guy, but let a dick like him win.

In #2weeks,,, and a day, a guy is going to be video recording us using 3 digital cams and has some kind of shotgun mic tied into one of them.
A friend says it does pretty good but his bands sound isn't near a clean as ours is. What can I say, Bose L2's controlled by a nice board with Midas pre-amps. The one bad thing about the board is no way to send direct to record.
The room is fairly small and the last thing I want to do to the audience is clutter it up with 2 more mic stands on top of 3 camera tripods.
The ev ening is still for them not us.
Any suggestions?

Men, whether online or in real life, aren't supposed to ask women for their numbers. They are supposed to give the women their numbers.
Supposedly, this is the "sensitive" thing to do so that a woman doesn't feel pressured to give a guy she isn't sure about her number, and she has the opportunity to block her number when contacting the guy. So supposedly, the chivalrous thing to do now is to not pressure the lady into it, but give her your number and put it on her, so if she is interested she can contact you and if not, you don't have her number to harass.
I guess I get it. It makes sense on a very, very basic level. But, it does make me sad we don't live in a world where the guy asks for the number, the guy calls, the guy is the pursuer. I was just always raised that way. Times are changing, and it's hard for me to change with them.

Just to show you what a true dick that cousin of mine is, he made my mother have to *sue* him about 15 - 20 years ago. Over some stupid property settlement. Long story, but he had a tiny little interest in my grandmother's estate, the house and lot she lived him. Long story. My mother finally sold it, and that cousin was the hold up.
She tried to call, sent him e-mails and letters. Nothing. He wouldn't respond at all. His interest only amounted to a few grand. She finally just wrote him a check, and a note. He cashed it. And wouldn't reply.
So, she went to a lawyer. The only solution was a lawsuit to get a judge to declare it free and clear. That involved a lot of waiting, letting time limits expire and all that crap.
They had to server papers, put notices in the papers and all this crap. He lived in Atlanta at the time, and they couldn't serve him.
He was that good at evading process servers. He had experience, I'm sure. Creditors and lord knows what else. The lawyer up here hired some PI in Atlanta to try to get him served, but he couldn't do it, and declared him to be the slipperiest SOB he'd ever run across.
In the end, he lost the suit by default. My mother was upset about it, having to sue her own flesh and blood and all that. At the trial, she said the lawyer was going to be all formal, and called her to the stand and was going through the formal procedure and all that.
The judge just waived all that, and said, "Ma'am, you mean to tell me that this nephew of yours......" and just talked like "regular folk" for about 5 minutes, doing away with all the legalese. He banged the gavel in about 5 minutes and freed the property.

My Ex turned stone cold with menopause. After a year I made it an issue. Told her that her head wasn't in it, then don't bother going to the Doc. So, she went to the Doc. He prescribed hormones. She did not like the way she "felt" on them.
So, I reminded her that there were things she could do to alleviate the sexual problem I was having without actual sex.
Her reaction? "I have never felt like such a whore"!
Mine? "Name me just one whore that never puts out and gets to spend 10k a month of the Johns money?"

The ma'am-haters are correct to object when the title is meant to diminish. But in driving it wholesale from the vernacular, we are raising children who have no tool of language with which to convey respect. And never seeing respect in action, they're less likely to have it at all.
Courtesy and respect puts us at a disadvantage when dealing with the left.
The few times I've watched television in the past decade, I've been traumatized by Romney curling up like a worm before Candy Crowley, or Chris Matthews abusing Michelle Bachmann. And today, that Drexel professor who was actually offended at an expression of respect. We can't afford to condition ourselves to be polite by instinct anymore.

Men, whether online or in real life, aren't supposed to ask women for their numbers. They are supposed to give the women their numbers.
Supposedly, this is the "sensitive" thing to do so that a woman doesn't feel pressured to give a guy she isn't sure about her number, and she has the opportunity to block her number when contacting the guy. So supposedly, the chivalrous thing to do now is to not pressure the lady into it, but give her your number and put it on her, so if she is interested she can contact you and if not, you don't have her number to harass.
I guess I get it. It makes sense on a very, very basic level. But, it does make me sad we don't live in a world where the guy asks for the number, the guy calls, the guy is the pursuer. I was just always raised that way. Times are changing, and it's hard for me to change with them.

You're what, all of 35?
That ain't old by any stretch of the imagination.
When you're looking down the gullet of fifty, that's flirting with old.
As far as men are concerned, they sense desperation just as well as we women do.
As far as numbers go, I have no issue giving out my number.
Whether I answer is a whole 'nother thang.

When is ma'am meant to diminish? It's not; it's a sign of respect.
We taught our kids to say ma'am and sir, and I don't think anyone's ever been offended by that. In fact, we usually get told how polite our kids are.

My father, for about 20 years now, has more or less made himself completely unreachable by me and my sisters. This is the dad I've mentioned before, who walked out on my mom just a few weeks before my 18th birthday and right after I had graduated HS.
I know where my dad lives, everything. He's in Lake Havasu City. I've been across the street from his house, for goodness' sake. But no matter what we do, he won't respond to anything we send him. His "new" wife (who ironically, has the same first name as my mom, so his second wife has the same name as she does) has a reputation, however, for being ridiculously overzealous and controlling. The belief is that she goes through the mail, the voicemails, EVERYTHING before my dad sees it, and whenever we have a message for him, she destroys/discards it.

But she told him to give her his number. She said she figured he would just give her some throwaway number, to some assistant or something, but she said he jumped and started writing like crazy.
THis is the number to the apartment. This is the one for the office. This is the plane. This is the house in the country. This is the one down in Florida. Etc, etc. Call me!
She said she waited a couple of weeks. And then called. He answered right away, and that night took her to some fancy joint in NYC.

The filming location was Prague.
If you want to know what Montenegro looks like, watch the King's Landing scenes in Game of Thrones from season 2 on. It was filmed in Dubrovnik, which is on the Croatia/Montenegro border. Also, Force 10 From Navarone was filmed mostly in Montenegro.

early enough that the audience was only moderately enthusiastic. At one
point, the band introduces, as a song off their "new LP," Iron Man.
It's fun to watch a band in the early days really selling a song that becomes obligatory canon later.

After I was widowed and I waded back into the dating pool, I was surprised how much some things had changed from when my dating when I was in my 20's.
The mechanics of the actual dating were different but the over-arching themes were pretty much the same: Don't be a dick. Now that I think about it, that one rule pretty much covered it. Don't be a dick about money, don't be a dick about sex, don't be a dick about communication, don't be a dick about family, etc.
It worked out well - met lots of decent ladies - sometimes we clicked - sometimes we didn't.

old-fashioned. So, there is a HUGE disconnect between my sensibilities
and the way of the world today. So, I guess that's why I feel so old.
It's just bizarre that's all. Was talking to a girlfriend about it
today, and she explained that only the dbags ask for your number
anymore. She said if a guy is decent and worth it, he will offer you
his. My friend is not a weirdo either. She is a normal person, and even
she has bought into this new-fangled way of courting. It just blew my
mind.

Just re-watched a Bond flick for the first time, "Die Another Day." Call me crazy, I think it's pretty good.
Oh wait... actually I've also seen "Golden Eye" twice. Also great.
Posted by: qdpsteve at March 31, 2017 10:49 PM
Goldeneye is one of the best Bond flicks ever. DAD is... not as good. It probably gets more hate than it deserves, but is not in the same league as Goldeneye.
Posted by: otho at March 31, 2017 10:59 PM (lmIoG)
Admittedly, I like the set-up for DAD, Bond and his team surfing into North Korea notwithstanding. The best line in that film was the main baddie saying that he went to Oxford and got a degree in Western Hypocrisy,
. But after Bond is released from North Korea and after they introduce the genetic switcharoo is when the movie really goes downhill for me. Although the swordfight scene was cool and visceral.
It might have been the nostalgia googles, or the N64 game, but I tried watching Goldeneye again just recently and while I still like it, it hasn't aged well for me.

Looking for advice re: online dating
Want: Long-Term, True Love and Romance
Don't Want: Tinder Hook-up with free STDs
tried OKCupid a year ago, even sprung for premium
only got one 5 minute coffee date out of it
p.s. she lied saying she wanted to see me again, then 0 contact
Does anyone here have experience with both Match and eHarmony? I am leaning toward the latter. Both charge $ to hopefully keep out trolls and the ubiquitous 'i'm writing a paper on dating and will be using your love notes in my article without telling you.'

@326
I wouldn't waste money on either of them, honestly. For me, the success rate is no better, sometimes worse, than the freebie sites. Yeah, you have to deal with more trolls and weirdos but...I just don't see the others as worth it. And, now, it's to the point there's almost always crossover between all the different sites. Very rarely will you find someone exclusively one one or the other.

It's easy, but takes awhile, cuz you need to make a good ol' pot of pinto beans first. I mean, you don't really need to, but that's what it amounts to.
Then you need real lard, the brown kind.
You put the beans in a pan with the lard and mash 'em up while they fry.
You can cheat a little and add some sour cream to the canned kind, along with plenty of cheese, but homemade is best.

I was on Match for a while last year, after my wife and I separated (we'll be finally divorced very soon). And that is a bit of a mistake on my part, as most women are leery of "separated" guys, and I can understand why.
If you are going on Match or E-Harmony, present yourself well. Visuals are everything. Either take some really good pictures of yourself to post, or have a friend take them. Visuals are everything.
After the first couple of months with some dumb selfies I took on my phone, I took a few good pictures of myself with a camera on a stand, and put those on, and the responses were MUCH better.
Be discriminating. Most of the women I contacted on Match were pretty Left of Center politically, which can be awkward, to say the least.
I did meet someone who I had a relationship with for several months, and it was pretty nice for a while, but I began to realize she was a little koo-koo bananas (OCD), and we did break up (which still sort of makes me sad).

I had some pinto beans the other day. By accident. I ordered corn at this local joint, but the waitress somehow gave me pintos. I said what the hell. They were good, but.... I should've take a Beano. It was terrible.
And I tell what is really terrible with me now. Onions. Raw that is. And I always loved them, but my digestive track is getting old and cranky about them.
Cook them for a little bit, and they're fine, but raw, I get cramps. And awful gas. I don't know if the offending compounds get broken by cooking, or what.

Ken Levine has been writing some good stuff at his blog about how crazy things have gotten in Hollywood re all the new distribution models: online networks, YouTube, series that make *every* episode available for download, etc etc etc etc.
According to him, the WGA (Writers Guild of America) is about to go on strike again. Of course he supports WGA but admits everything both sides say during the strike is all posturing and pressure tactics.
Posted by: qdpsteve at March 31, 2017 11:14 PM (qazQh)
There *is* the issue of residuals for all these new distribution models re: compensation, and Hollywood being *exactly* the evil Capitalist system they project everything else to be, they have a point. The writers get fucked good and hard, first.

I haven't used either. It might work but I like being single. My best friend met his current wife with e-Harmony. A pretty, very sweet, gal from China. She's been in the US for 21 years and is now a citizen. He's pretty happy. His first wife died 8 years ago. Took him a while to get over it.

That only lasted one night. Some guy wanted to get into the "is morality objective or subjective" discussion, and became belligerent when P was taking a view that he considered too nuanced.
Then the guy started freaking out, attacking everyone on the next thread, insulting them all, and promptly got the hammer. Had no effect on Palpatine's activity, IIRC.
I think the guy must have suffered some recent emotional trauma. There were certain indications on the thread where he went off on Palpatine.
He had been commenting for a while before then, and seemed a solid guy.

If NATO will agree to the accession of the Republic of Torquewrench as its newest member, I promise to stick to spending at least 2% of my adjusted gross income on firearms and ammo. Which makes me a better member than the Germans are.
Also, I'm going to want the U.S. military to be on speed dial to rescue my sorry ass the next time I get in a drunken bar argument, since the whole point of NATO these days seems to revolve around the nation-state equivalent of drunken bar arguments.

I have. Spent about 5-6 years going to the former Yugloslavia for about a month each year, vacationing. Made friends over the years and kept coming back. For me most interesting parts of the world former Yugoslavia and the 'Stans of Central Asia.
Anyway, long story short. Drove down from Dubrovnik, ended up at night in the hills over Cetinje (where a small blonde American female does not want to be) to check out the mausoleum of the famous poet/philosopher Petar II Petrovic (Njegos). Mausoleum closed. Like a day/night out of spooky Russian novel.
That said, all of the coastal parts of the former Yugoslavia are fabulous. And the histories, rich and complex. Got interested when I read Rebecca West, Black Lamb and Grey Falcon. To get quick idea take a spin on Wikipedia.

Breakfast of champions.
qdpsteve, there are a few studies about the benefits of green tea for heart health. I'm not one to follow the latest health fad, but Japan is a country that smokes, drinks, works, stresses, suppresses emotion until their eyes bleed, and lives alone humping cartoon waifu pillows, and they have the highest life expectancy of any nation. Some legit studies seem to show that green tea and fish plays a part.
Could be the pillows though.

High school rebel and a beauty queen
Standing together in an angry world
One boy fighting for one girl
Daddy never gave momma a diamond ring
Momma never worried for anything
What he gave her came from the heart
A bond that was never torn apart
An old man kneeling all alone
Plants his flowers in a garden of stone
For seven years now she's been gone
And his devotion is still going strong
I want to be loved like that
I want to be loved like that
A promise, you can't take back
If you're gonna love me
I want to be loved like that

Most of the major EU expansions in the last 20 years were preceded by admission to NATO. I would contend that the offer of being protected under NATO's umbrella was mostly a bribe to get the EU's foot in the door. The new members have certainly not provided a defensive benefit.
Bureaucrats in Brussels expand on their dream of a united Europe while their defense obligations continue to be heavily subsidized by the US. Turkey has the second largest military and sixth largest budget in NATO. As a military alliance it is pretty much a sham.

Reusing rockets is a game-changer, no question about it. Until last night it was only a theoretical possibility. Now we know for a fact that it can be done. SpaceX is now the most advanced rocket manufacturer on Earth, and everyone else is going to have to scramble to catch up.

I get the distinct impression that people simply do not understand the impact on launch providers this achievement has. No other launch provider on earth can compete with this...not even NASA. No one else is doing this, no one else can do this, and no one else was planning on doing this.
I don't believe any amount of scrambling at this stage is going to get anyone else caught up. The Chinese technological juggernaut, (which relies on Russian hardware and expertise)....well, they can go back to manufacturing rubber dog shit. The Russians have a five year plan to refurbish their surplus Soviet made rocket engines. ESA has it's Ariane family of boosters....big and shiny boosters, and quite expensive.
They have to compete against SpaceX which has slashed 80% off the cost of putting hardware into space.
They laughed at SpaceX four years ago, laughed at the Grasshopper, laughed at their spectacular failures...but I guarantee, they're not laughing now.

That's tough. I don't think they're mutually exclusive, but it tends to favor one or the other depending on the person. In my case, there were some red flags that I didn't understand at the time, but do now with the benefit of hindsight and a lot of research. I was also conditioned to believe that certain problematic behaviors were just a normal part of male-female relationships, when they were not acceptable and shouldn't have been tolerated. By the time I figured this out, it was WAY too late for me.

Putin/Russia can do all sorts of stupid or unpleasant stuff that is not material to our interests. They have been.
Yep - just checked our interests - they're fine. Or not. But not because of anything Putin does/doesn't do.
Western Europe - old NATO - has long since made a conscious decision to be more/less supine in the face of Russian misbehavior. In cold realpolitik terms, they've made a defensible choice (the wrong one, I think, but not insane or incredibly dangerous).

I've been waiting a long time for someone to produce a film or miniseries on the conquest of Mexico. It's got all the elements of a blockbuster like Braveheart, Gladiator, Game of Thrones, and Band of Brothers.
-Cortes burning his ships so there's no going back.
-His romance with Malinche
-The savagery of the Aztecs, but also the wonder that was Tenochtitlan
I have no idea why it hasn't been done yet.

my favorite diner makes dinner-plate size pancakes which are not crepe thin but thinner than the average pancake and have surface that is almost leathery. you pour the syrup on and it runs off to the side.

The real question is: why would you want to waste your time doing that in the first place? How many hospitals will it build? How many hungry children with curable diseases will it save from death? How many women in oppressive male cultures will it give educational and business opportunities to?
So I put it to you: what about dedicating more of your time to fighting intersectional oppression? Now that would be smart.

Are Americans generally welcome? Is English commonly spoken there?
Posted by: F.N.G. at April 01, 2017 12:12 AM (kiSdp)
I was there in the 90s. Since the war and the big increased tourism I am sure it is different. Europeans commonly went to certain areas of Former Yugo on holiday.
My experience generally is that along the coast and in tourist areas English is spoken and understood. Some kind of English. My experience also is that small towns in land and in the hilly, mountainous regions very different story. And can be dangerous.Are Americans generally welcome? That's always a difficult question for me. That's why it's important to know the history and current politics of a country, I think. OTH, it's often individual. I traveled solo mostly and didn't broadcast it anywhere that I was American. Not that I am not proud to be. Sometimes not the smartest thing for me.Again, OTH, once in the FS someone asked me if I was scared (I was) and I said "Of course not. I'm an American". Like the Marines would storm the beachhead or something.

thanks. I also like being single, but I just can't shake the feeling that i'm missing out on some really juicy stuff...
Or are there signs that something is wrong from the beginning, but they just get overlooked/missed/hidden/rationalized away?
this in my case. almost everyone isn't presenting their actual true self in the first few weeks/months but it comes out quickly (your first fight?) and that's when you need to abandon ship (titanic) and not bail water with a tin cup hoping for the best.
p.s. i thought i was bitter and cynical until reading this thread and hearing from those had had their lives destroyed by the fairer sex...

Diners are enablers of factory farming, which basically puts animals into close confined torture chambers for the entirety of their short, painful lives, never allowing them to run free as they were meant to. Would you treat your dog that way? Diners also enable farming practices involving pesticides, which pollute the ground water that disproportionately affects underprivileged minority communities. Your diner pancake comes at a very high price of human misery and suffering. Doesn't that bother you at all?

In the mid-90s the president-for-life of the new former Soviet republic of Turkmenistan had a habit (probably an echo of ancient tradition) of giving spectacular white stallions as gifts to visiting dignitaries. The country (with some reason, probably) sees itself as the heirs of the Horde (the real one, not the AOSHQ one, morons) - thus, horses.
(I think one meaning of "turkmenbashi" - the title said president modestly bestowed on himself, is "great horseman of the Turkmen")
Anyway, from vague memory. VP Gore visits, gets white stallion as gift. Hilarity ensues between protocol (State) and logistics (USAF) people. Don't recall outcome.
Sometime later, Iranian big Rafsanjani visits. Gets white stallion as gift. Decides to get on and ride the fucking thing. Ooops. Horse takes off at a gallop, the evil Persian jihadi war criminal nearly falling off and clinging to his mount. Hilarity, or something else, ensues among Iranian bodyguards.
Sadly, Rafsanjani survived the experience. But it made for one hilarious reporting cable from Ashkabat.

Dushanbe was "closed" to visitors because of some occasional small arms festivities. Ridiculous - but the standard at the time. Not long after, in a different locale, one katyusha could close the pool for the night, which was annoying. They almost always missed, and besides looked kinda cool going over at night.

You just have to keep at it. Its never easy. It wasn't easy when you're in college either. Most of the "easy" ones are divorced by now anyway.
Finding a soul mate isn't easy, but they are out there. The secret is to not spend too much time with the wrong one, and that means getting into the dating market and knocking them down like bowling pins till you find the right one, and you will know it. Its always going to take work. My wife and I had nothing in common when we met, well very little anyway, but she had the qualities I wanted, and I had what she needed, and we built off of that. It took work, but the result is great.
You have to keep at it, nothing good comes from the easy way.

Maybe certain particular choices showed a dislike or uncomfortableness with the on-line or anonymous aspect? Seems unlikely that it would be because of personality or preference. (Unless you had very specific criteria and they felt they couldn't fill them, perhaps?)

I can imagine your story Because.... I, a decent equestrian really -- not great but I can handle myself -- went on picnic in the mountains with my staff. Big to do. Kyrgyz horses. Not fancy white stallions. Tough. I was offered, and stupidly accepted, to ride. Very very tough to handle with any dignity at all. And lucky not to have fallen off. Those horses are amazing. And I can just imagine the Horde across the steps.
I was glad to have survived. Sucks that Rafsanjani did as well. As for the hilarity of the cables, I am pretty sure I was discussed in full ridicule.

Two other things to note are that SSDs are amazing for loading stuff (e.g. complicated spreadsheets) and if you're running a 32-bit OS like some old XP versions, you won't get any benefit beyond 8GB of RAM.

It rejected me, about a year or so ago. I haven't been back. It asks you a bunch of questions that invite you to admit to negative emotions, like "Have you ever felt hopeless about the possibility of meeting anyone", but in such a way that you think it is just a compatibility question. Then at the end BOOM! "Sorry, we cannot help you. Have a nice day".
So off to the escort website or craigslist personals.

I just assumed Windows because when people are working with flippin' huge spreadsheets, it's usually Windows.
Actually the platform/application thing raises another question - is Excel the right tool for this job? I've seen people struggle with monstrous spreadsheets that would be pretty trivial to manage with PostgreSQL or something.

Appreciate response. Not an expert, but I find it interesting.
W/out knowing how much leeway you have it's hard to make a guess.
w/out knowing how deep you are into Excel, it's hard to make a guess.
It could be a memory problem, a problem w/ too many volatile formulas, a used range problem.
If you turn calculation off, make changes, then manually recalc, what does it do?
Can you do this w/ this file?

I'm frustrated over eOption. It usually works, but when it doesn't, it's expensive. It's hard to get out of a trade if the bid-ask spread info is wrong. They no longer have a "just sell it now" button. If you hit market price, it enters the appropriate amount assuming the info is correct. If the info is off the trade doesn't execute.
I was looking at support articles or emailing tech support or something, and saw some text is Russian. Russians hacked my trading platform!

"Do you think people who like guns are evil? Yes, No, Don't care, Strongly disagree, strongly agree, etc" Do you think sex should be just for fun or only for love? How often do you brush your teeth? Are you religious? How important is politics to you? Then they give you some pattern matching IQ test type questions.
Then you get to fill out a profile: favorite movies, personal summary, favorite foods/books, etc. etc.

All the questions let you give an answer to the effect of "I am neutral, it doesn't matter".
And that is one of the problems with OkCupid questions. If there is a kinky girl out there, I don't want to answer "I think sex should only be for love" and not be matched. If there is a nice girl out there I don't want to answer "I think sex should be for fun" and not be matched. So I just answer "I don't care" to everything, and then it WARNS you, "If you keep answering I don't care, your answers are worthless and it will be harder to compute your percentage match with other people".
OkCupid is the kind of site that makes you think, "I just need to hang out in bars and meet people in person, because human interaction is something to subtle for a bunch of questions to match people up".

Well, not that rare -- but it is fun when everybody gets loose on a theme like that, isn't it?
And as for what I "well know," naw, my blog reading is sporadic lately and I also wander away if the repartee isn't my cup of tee sometimes, so I can't really judge recent patterns.*
I jus' wanted to riff on good old yesterday joke. Couldn't help m'self.
*I consider any thread which has "posted by: bebe's boobs destroy" to be a good one, though.

Really guys??? Its a frigging meat market out there. Where the hell is your inner Viking? If you're single you should be out there fucking your way to the next galaxy. Don't hang all kinds of bullshit on it, go plow some shit. Be a frigging dude. Throw enough shit on the wall and something will stick.
As for the ladies, yeah no, ignore what I say. lol
Posted by: Berserker- Dragonheads Division at April 01, 2017 02:03 AM (aMlLZ)
It's not that easy for some guys, for a variety of reasons.
Besides, once I get out of this financial shithole I keep getting stuck in, I just wanna spend my evenings in later years on my porch somewhere in Nowheresville central Texas drinking a Shiner or five and watching the sun set while I listen to some little traditional country station like I've been doing lately.
That right there eliminates 99.9% of them, so why bother?
Plus, with the cost of 2-3 nice dates you can get yourself a decent gun. Can never have too many of those.

Let me tell you. I go on this metal cruise every year as a civilian. Man, anything goes. I sit and watch the freak show, and I have seen every possible combination of couples. I get hit on by chicks half my age, twice my age, any color, from any country. There was this girl from costa Rica that wanted a picture with me. Man, she just snuggled right in with a body that didn't fucking quit. If I was single I would be forwarding my fucking mail, and that's around 2 months after they called off the search.
Short version, Asian or not, you got a Nordic chick in your future. I have seen it all.

Don't sweat it, man. I've dated a Korean girl, a few white girls, and flirted with a black girl for a while, though it never went anywhere. My sister's married to a National Guardsman who's some kind of mix of euro, black, and American indian, he doesn't know for sure. Someone who's into you DGAF what your ethnic makeup is. Anybody who makes it a big deal isn't worth your time.

Well, it is my element, so I'm way used to it. Some people just go a little over the top. Weird piercings , hair styles, overall appearances, etc. The Europeans are insane. One chick had her whole head shaved and tattooed with just this little blond clump of hair in the front. Shit like that.
Much boobs too, and not much imagination needed. My idea of mecca anyway.

You show one of these tacos to a Taco Bell employee, and they will cry in shame. I think Taco Bell counts the individual shreds of cheese they put on each taco, with that number not to exceed 9. That's an estimate, but a fair one.

I don't shop at Subway. We have way too many good PoBoy restaurants in the area. My fave is a little deli called Ben's Deli that serves up an awesome roast beef poboy for $8 plus tax.
Twelve inches of artery clogging goodness.

Prices increase and portions get smaller. You are wasting money on fast food.
Posted by: Tim in Illinois at April 01, 2017 05:48 AM (d76uN)
For the most part, yes. There are a few deals out there that will push you to match on cost, counting the time/labor/energy factor.
For the most part, I prefer to make my own. But I also consider a bit of eating out as 'entertainment budget'.

If I spend around $20 on Italian cold cuts (that I like) and some imported provolone (which I may have on hand anyway), roast a red pepper or two, get an onion and buy some medium hero rolls, I can get 4 quality subs out of it. Easy. (Plus, I always have hot peppers in the fridge). I don't buy an Italian hero out anymore.

Clicked on the "I dare you" link. No biggie, as I would gave had to click again to fire up the caterwauling.
Immediately under it and "Recommended for you" was a link for "Life As A Girl With A Penis" by Stef Sanjati. What the hell is in my profile that put that on the front burner?
