Wait, you're required to vote by mail in Washington? So there are no polling places and voting booths in Washington?
Nope, I believe this was to save money/encourage more voting. Employers are technically supposed to allow you time to vote, but I'll be fucked if in the 13+ years I've been working I'd ever seen someone get time off to go vote and not have it be scheduled.
The United States: seeing how far you can lower the bar while still having everyone else accept it as democracy.

Abby, dearheart, why can't I gather stone in Minecraft? I've finally got Alpha, but all I can seem to gather is wood, sand, and dirt. I can destroy stone blocks, but nothing comes of it.

You need to use a pickeaxe, not a shovel.
Wooden pickaxes and up will harvest stone, stone pickaxes and up will harvest iron, iron pickaxes and up will harvest gold, redstone and diamond.

is there a way to click on a file and place it in a folder with its own name
meaning, i'd think it'd be easy to have some hotkey or something where i can click on a .doc called 'resume' and it would then be placed inside a folder called resume- without making a new folder, naming it, and dragging it in

Probably not out of the box but an Apple Script to do that wouldn't be too difficult.
I'm tired of being sick. This head cold is really a bit much too. I start sneezing, which about now is the only thing that starts me coughing (that and laughing), and the coughing starts me sneezing again, which ends up with a 10 minute bout that sounds like I'm dying and makes breathing hard. Not to mention makes anything delicate with my hands hard, thus no crochet.
Sad! At least I have Minecraft to keep me company, though apparently I can't gather stone?
Bronchitis! You need pills!
EDIT: I had a bad case of the coughs last year when I caught swine flu. The doctor put me on Levaquin and an inhaler I can't remember the name of. I was miserable.
Preach, you heard any word on when/if Monster Hunter Frontier is coming to the US Xbox 360?
I dunno when I stopped playing tri (after getting 100+ hours out of it so I got more then enough for the purchase) there hadn't been word.
I'm about to get back into Tri. I'm hoping Frontier makes it to the 360 here. I mean I don't see why not. The damn game is already made, all they have to do is translate and open US servers.
Tri on the wii has beat Mario Kart for most played game, so it seems like it would be a smart move
I wish an MMO would take the idea in monster hunter about drops. I love just killing monsters and then aquiring parts you can then use to make your awesome items. That way its still random, but everyone gets something.
The monster hunter games are that perfect balance of fighting and grinding in my opinion.
agreed. It's the only game I would actually pay a monthly charge to play.

I can only make sticks?
if you think of the numpad like the crafting table

make planks out of wood
then make some sticks out of one of the planks
then go like this in your workbench (if you don't have a workbench, that's four planks in the crafting pane of your inventory):

the "these creatures are evil, always" stuff is dumb as hell and is really annoying to me about d&d
if you have nothing against slaughtering people then you are not good
at all
Yeah, it was always an issue with the default setting for me. We never bother having hoards of evil anythings.
I think it's why I like Start of Darkness, the Order of the Stick prequel, because it explores the inherant problems with "always evil".
The Book of Exalted Deeds looks at that a little bit too, with a knight stumbling in on two succubi cradling each other: does he kill evil creatures, or celebrate love? Of course, I believe later on there's a spell that permanently changes a creature's alignment without its consent, and it thanks you afterward, so yeah.
So we managed to dodge some absolutely stupid requirements in order to deliver to one company simply because their right hand didn't know what their left hand was doing. But apparently one of the hands stopped jerking off, because we just got this email -
I spoke to my Regional Director about you wanting to get set up as an approved vendor.
There are several steps in the process including having a minimum of 5 million in liability insurance in addition to 3rd party audit, technology requirements, agreeing to [company name] payment terms, etc.
This is to deliver ~$100 in pastry twice a week. A third party fucking audit and "technology requirements" to deliver fucking pastry. Fuck this shit.
gotta love beancounters
I feel like I remember you telling this story several months ago.

I did, what happened was they sent the "please send us these documents" email at the same time they sent us the "please come in to get your swipe badge made" email. So we never sent the documents, but got the swipe badge. And I guess they just realized they didn't have our documents?

oh god a wooden pickax would be the saddest thing ever
Yeah, I'm too used to working with actual tools to immediately thing 'Oh, of course, a wooden pickaxe'.
Nevertheless, I have several made and am working on a tidy stack of stone. Soon I will have coal, 'cause this whole working in the dark thing has got to go.

I want to get myself genetically screened. Before I have children my plan is to spend the money to dodge any of the avoidable defects.
I support care for the disadvantaged, but if I can avoid creating more of them then I will.
but by a health insurance company, in america?
Hell no. But I'm in Australia. And were I in America I'd move to like, Canada. Probably not though, fuck the cold. But more northern Australia, because the NSW state government is a joke.

My company pays for my health care and did bloodwork like this, it helps lower the overall insurance charge on the company and gives us better coverage.

I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

her health insurance sent a person over to do an at-home physical
it included bloodwork
guarantee they are doing genetic screening on her now
told her not to let them do that, but she waffled and let it go

You need to make a workbench first, then you can make tools.

I had no idea you could make wooden pickaxes.
It all becomes clear.

that gets you a wood pickaxe, which can mine stone
repeat with stone in place of wood for a stone pickaxe

That's more than what I'm doing, which is nothing.

Also, Eberron does a fairly decent job of doing away with the "these guys are always evil" thing.
are you using a pickaxe?
Hell no. But I'm in Australia. And were I in America I'd move to like, Canada. Probably not though, fuck the cold. But more northern Australia, because the NSW state government is a joke.
