With all possible failures documented, lets make this [chat] a successful one, alright? I'd rather not work.

the day i installed lion i ended up with one of these:



first time osx had ever crashed for me since switching from windows in like, 07

windows 7 has also crashed for me exactly once

old windows versions are of course satan

My proposed response:

The bolded text is a false dichotomy. It's perfectly possible to acquire money legally without "earning" it in the sense of working for it.

I've heard the rhetoric about how working hard and pulling yourself up by your bootstraps will get you the money, but I remain unconvinced about how true that is. No matter how hard you work, how do you go to university if you can't pay the tuition fees or persuade anyone to cover them for you? One of the best enhancers of social mobility, access to good education, appears to be a dwindling resource these days.

It may be true that tax adjustment isn't the only - or the best - way to handle income inequality, because I think it's more that the inequality is a symptom of people finding it harder and harder to climb the social ladder due to not having access to the resources that would allow them to.

It's pretty gross, honestly.

Opinions on LED lightbulbs? NewEgg is having a sale. I've already got CFLs in most of my apartment; are LED bulbs a significant improvement?

Windows 7 is the first operating system I have ever "enjoyed." It just works so well.

I used to love Velveeta as a child. But that's because I was both a kid and poor.

I really like them. They tend to be much less yellow than other bulbs though.

Back when Kraft first invented the shit, actual cheesemakers and mongers petitioned the government to make Kraft label it "Embalmed Cheese", sadly it was never enacted, and Cheez Whiz and other abominations against dairy are the result.

Like I said in the other chat, give me real Mexican any day of the week.

A nice cuitlacoche quesadilla or squash blossom w/ asadero and some camorones al ajillo and I'm a happy boy.

Right. Same here, when it comes to American cheese.

Now that I'm part of the 1% though, anything below cheddar is unpalatable.

My first experience with Windows 7 was having to fuck around with taking Ownership of various files and folders for about 2 days to get it to allow me to use most of my file storage disk's contents. Needless to say, I was not particularly impressed.

Well they don't have mercury in them and they are more energy efficient, so that's pretty good.

Anecdotatly, I cannot use these for any light that is on a lot. I don't know if its the coloring or what but they give me headaches and look off. For flashlights and stuff LED is fine.

You can buy a single one at target to try it out.

I like them, there can be some adjustments necessary to the softness of the light, but other than that, they're slightly more effecient than most CFL blubs, and run at an even lower temperature, so they're great for things like desk lamps and the like where the bulb can be relatively close to you.

Apparently you should see Cabin in the Woods if you haven't yet.

Everyone says it's pretty ace.

Ditto. While a part of me misses a slice of american cheese product as the fundamental part of a grilled cheese sandwich, I have moved on to better cheeses for a grilled cheese like colby, jack, or havarti.

American Reunion.

Wrath is a crime against mythology and even at less than an hour and 40 minutes, still manages to drag anytime shit isn't going down on screen. Also Cronus is a giant fucking lava monster.

Organichu

not all american cheese is fake cheese.

The LED bulbs that some car companies have been sticking in headlights tend to blind me when I see them in oncoming vehicles a lot too; in general, I can't say I'm a particular fan of this bit of tech.

Funny story, my Grandmother, who is 88 and tough as hell, still has eggs, sausage, and bread and butter every morning. When I was there for breakfast a few months ago it actually took me a little aback.

TL DR

I'm in pretty good shape. Quick, decently coordinated, etc.

I am staggeringly bad at basketball.

That is actually a healthy breakfast, believe it or not.

It's a billion times better for you than a bowl of sugar smacks... especially if he doesn't overdo the cholesterol later in the day.

I'm having a LAN party this weekend. I kind of want to cook for it. Either Jambalaya or croque-monsieurs. Maybe both.

I saw a bit of American Pie Reunion. It was terrible. Just bad. And apparently Chris Klein has spent the intervening years pumping iron and making sure he got his daily dose of roids. I mean he wasn't a tiny guy but he has a neck like a tree trunk now.

Same here. I have to flip up the rearview if one is behind me.

I tend to find people's objections to American cheese to be pretentious bullshit. There's nothing worse about decent American cheese than there is colby, jack, or Havarti.

There's nothing wrong with pasteurisation, and there's nothing wrong with using emulsifiers, some whey, and some fats to create an evenly melting smooth product.

And it's no more processed than mozzarella or provolone.

Not to mention grilled cheese sandwiches beg for American cheese so badly it hurts. Like marinara begs for fresh parm.
