The Terrible Mr. G
Topic: Miscellaneous 1:57 pm EST, Feb 14, 2003

What happens when you play Counterstrike too much? You end up with a potty mouth. And some enemies:
So, the story goes that co-worker A got sick of co-worker B's constant profanity whilst playing Counter Strike. Co-worker A then hid a microphone next to co-worker B's desk, and captured this stream of rantings. Then, as co-worker A was a member of an electronic music-making concern, he endeavored to edit it all together. The end result was this: The Terrible Mr. G.

TIME.com: Living With Terrorism: A How-to Guide
Topic: Miscellaneous 12:44 pm EST, Feb 13, 2003

] Once you've got your duct tape and plastic sheeting,
] Homeland Security suggests choosing a room in your home
] that is internal (not facing the street or yard) and
] large enough to accommodate your family in the case of
] attack. According to the HSD website, "ten square feet of
] floor space per person will provide sufficient air to
] prevent carbon dioxide build-up for up to five hours."
]
] You've got your room picked out - now what? Pre-measuring and cutting the plastic to fit each opening (i.e. windows and vents) can save a lot of time later. Having this plastic ready to go may mean the difference between having a nervous breakdown and having a nervous breakdown while affixing large sheets of vinyl to your windows.

OH MY GOD I DON'T HAVE AN INTERNAL ROOM, ALL MY ROOMS FACE THE YARD OR THE STREET!!!! OH, DEAR JESUS, I'M GOING TO DIE!!!!!! ALSO I DO NOT HAVE DUCT TAPE!

Survey: Men spend more on Valentines
Topic: Miscellaneous 12:39 pm EST, Feb 13, 2003

] "...nothing says "I'm too inconsiderate to give you something
] thoughtful" than a generic box of chocolates and a cheap
] stuffed animal.
]
] "A bouquet of flowers, a bottle of wine or champagne and
] a nice dinner are all she really expects," she said.
] "Valentine's Day is just about being together and
] remembering why you love each other."

Men only spend more on Valentine's Day because they think women expect it. We don't. Seriously, all I want is a clean house, a nice dinner, and maybe a little bit o' sex.

Drivers urged to hunt for cheaper gas
Topic: Miscellaneous 9:51 am EST, Feb 12, 2003

] American drivers should shop aggressively for gasoline
] bargains in the face of "dramatic" and questionable price
] increases, the auto club AAA said Tuesday.

So basically, they think we should drive around looking for gas which is a penny or two cheaper per gallon? What's that save you, maybe ten cents? A quarter? How much gas do you waste in the meantime looking for cheaper gas? I mean, okay, when we go down to New Jersey to visit friends/family, we fill up there because it's cheaper than in NY or CT. But around town? All the gas prices are about the same, PENNIES different. I think driving around to find it cheaper just wastes more money and fuel. Which contributes to the problem.

Well it's not like I spent it all at the same time!! I've
built up my collection slowly over the last few years.
Telescope itself: $600.
Computer Control: $149
Bincoculars: $160 (got them on sale though, actually I
got two pairs, but I only use one for astronomy, so I'll
just count the one pair. $160. They're that good.)
Field Tripod: $200
Table tripod: $35
Camera: $300
Carrying case for telescope: $200
Eyepieces: $89, $59, $79
Right-angle viewfinder: $55(?)
Adapter to attach camera to telescope: $45 and $24 (one
piece for the telescope and one for the camera)
Filters: LPR (light pollution reduction)- $67; Moon filter (for when the moon is full.. it's hard to see detail, you need a neutral density filter) $20
I'd guess there's about another $100-$150 worth of miscellaneous stuff I have (books, charts, other accessories). So yes, around $2K.
It adds up quickly, but that's the price you pay for an interesting
hobby!

My current wish list includes another $300 worth of
stuff.

State Can Make Inmate Sane Enough to Execute, Court Rules
Topic: Miscellaneous 8:08 am EST, Feb 11, 2003

] The federal appeals court in St. Louis ruled yesterday
] that officials in Arkansas can force a prisoner on death
] row to take antipsychotic medication to make him sane
] enough to execute. Without the drugs, the prisoner,
] Charles Laverne Singleton, could not be put to death
] under a United States Supreme Court decision that
] prohibits the execution of the insane.
]
] Yesterday's 6-to-5 decision is the first by a federal
] appeals court to allow such an execution.

I'm really looking forward to the day that this country looks back on our dark days of executing people, and cries. This is so wrong.
