> salt makes food taste better My stepfather would say the same thing. Whenever I'd eat a salad, he'd look at it and say "I can't eat that shit," then he'd eat a steak that had been fried in 1" of fat, some eggs also…
Head down to Curio Bay and see the remains of a forest from 180mya, too.
I think that signal strength would decrease along the lines of the inverse square, so after you're some distance out, depending on the initial signal strength you'd find it had decayed to a level indistinguishable from…
I worked for a business that sold videos burned to very cheap blank DVDs, for a pretty high price. We tested them onsite, and had about a 20% failure rate (they cheaped out on the equipment, too) and the passing discs…
I'd fully expect the business to fire him for unethical or immoral behavior...
You've given me quite a chuckle - I'm glad someone took the time, given how long I put into it :)
> as opposed to an inate talent (or set of talents) [...] I'm pretty sure I'm someone with that talent, since I was never taught how to do it. I'm sure that it's innate, because I can't visualize even simple things.…

A few years ago, I was assaulted after a fashion. (The event could have caused permanent injury, even though it wasn't actually intended.) A friend of mine was a reporter for a local paper, and she asked if she could do…
My brother lived in Australia for a while. He has olive skin but he's of European descent and can't shave closely, he gets a mild rash on his face. Every time he flew back to New Zealand, he was pulled up for what was…
Found the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e7mspVXGoik There are two greyhounds, not three. If I was downvoted for saying that greyhounds aren't good guard dogs, then whoever did that should probably actually meet…
Some time back, my partner had a really sad event in her life, and she sat on the couch crying. We have two dogs, a happy yet dumb-as-a-rock greyhound, and a collie-staffie cross. The collie noticed, jumped up on the…
There's a YouTube video that I can't find where three greyhounds are in a house, when someone kicks the door in. The greyhounds panic and hide behind the furniture while the guy helps himself to the contents. Definitely…
I have a greyhound who occasionally likes to go for a run by himself. He doesn't think of it as a game, it seems to me that he's just off to patrol his territory. It's not just his running speed that makes him hard to…
A friend of mine had a similar problem. He leased a flat (New Zealand term for a rental of various sorts) and took photos of the place, including the thread-bare carpets. When he moved out, the landlord decided that…
I didn't remember them, so I had a look on YouTube. You're right, they were awful!
Thanks - I'd never heard of this. I guess one lesson here is to never trust a powerful man with everything to lose.
My partner really hated the Naked Gun films. She said they were stupid and not funny, although she loves Top Secret. One day, she got out of the shower about 10 minutes after I'd started one, and laughed at it. She…

I'm much the same. I have a surprisingly vivid memory (vivid for me, at any rate) of reading a comic book while riding in a car when I was 3 (for anybody familiar with Dunedin NZ in the late 1970s, I was reading a…
Thanks - very much appreciated! The battery is starting to age and is beginning to lose its charge quickly, so I'll look into that.
Did you put on one of the alternative Android OS? Can't afford a new phone just now, and I was wondering if rooting mine would help, think I will after what you've just said. It's an S3 that is becoming slower and more…
“Could they look at a tool and just based on mental image of the tool — can they recreate that tool design?” Dr. Taylor said. “That’s what we set out to test, and that’s what our results show.” I can't. I'm unable to…
Yeah, I always felt the idea that it was kids was a bit presumptuous, I think it's more likely to be embarrassed spouses, personally.
A (former) friend of mine used to work for a very popular porn site. He said that some absurd number of sign-ups were canceled through chargeback, and he figured it was kids signing up to a porn site and then the…
