Star Trek: ID was kinda meh. :/ But no spoilerz.

I need a photo of myself for my CV. The question is, where I can get one cheapest suitable for applications... Digital only, I have no need for physical copy.

Rob a bank. Your digital photo will be all over.

Whaaaa? Who is that masked badger?

I was happy at how educational that strip was. A lot of times people who haven't been depressed think it's about feeling sad or low, when it can be about feeling absolutely nothing and believing you will never feel again.

Congratulations, Rags! You don't look a day over 150.

If I speak in one constant volume

In one constant pitch
In one constant rhythm
Right into your ear

You still won't hear

You're right about that. It's why I prefer learning from books over lectures. Thewordsallblurintoonesound.

My mom always asked why I had to sneeze so loud during allergy attacks. My thought is that if I'm miserable, everyone around me should be too.

It's amazing. Keep it up!

Magna cum laude? Way to go, Shiny!

Hooray for aeglos and Sabine!

There is a three legged dog sitting here outside the food coop my wife has joined. He looks like he has a story to tell.

It's Triskele!

Stupid Mother's Day, getting in the way of gaming.

*grumbles*

Gah!

I'm afraid my pinkie nail will do that. Aaaaaugh.

I hate it when body parts fall off.

so Hyperbole and a Half has updated after a long hiatus

And man do I sympathize a lot more than I thought I would =/

I admire her courage in returning after all this time. I was sure the site would be abandoned. That's gotta be tough. Good for her!

Chaotic evil falcon highlight reels.

Tail? :D

According to grapple rules, you can tie up a pinned or unconscious adversary. Dav probably has to make a grapple check one round, maintain it and pin the next round, then tie the next - 3 rounds.

Not sure how Doug will rule it, but thought it might help.

*hurls rice and shoes at aeglos and Sabine*

Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Haben Sie einen schönen Tag!

Yeah, the new avatars are spiffy.

Oooh, the League meets?

One falcon just landed with prey. As soon as it did, the other took off and left the eggs sitting in the shade. The newcomer is more interested in food than nesting.

You dwarves are all alike.

One of the chatters said they just saw all three eggs.

I've sold four books at 'buy me now' prices (which were pretty darned good). If it was one of you, thank you! I'll drop the package at the Post Office tomorrow.

It's only about $80 net (after all the eBay/PayPal fees), but it's something.

It's interesting that she switches direction morning and night, from what I've seen.

Not that I have the feed up in one corner of my wide screen all the time or anything.

It makes me wonder if she adjusts to face into the prevailing wind direction so her feathers don't get ruffled.

My gallant crew, good morning!

No, never!

What? Never!?

Well, hardly ever.

Sorry, I get excited about punctuation.

Who doesn't!?!?!?!?!

Hoo dat?

It's 67 and sunny here. Time to do some grass cutting!

Birds of prey know they're cool.

I was amazed at how easy it is to make pulled pork at home, and how well it compares to the restaurant. If only we had a smoker! But that's a purchase for another day, another home, another state, another life.

You said in another thread that the two have different colored beaks. Now that it's morning, I can see something besides the Big Ball of Fire, but s/he's only showing her/his tail!

Don't they know this is their chance to grab 15 minutes of fame? Birdbrains.

EDIT: What's so Chaotic Evil about these birds, anyway? ;)

On a scale from meh to meh, today gets a meh.

I will check FalconCam again in the morning. We should have a great shot of momma then.

Selling some 3.5 books if anyone in the continental US is interested.

Boo, my ad was buried on the last post of a page.

I wish they hadn't set up FalconCam pointing straight into the setting sun. I see a huge ball of fire and a dark shape which may or may not have feathers!

Selling some 3.5 books if anyone in the continental US is interested.

Why are you testing me?

Pfft. As if. Like, really? Shuh.

Pinvendor is a tough act to follow. Bravely done, DSX.

Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Zombie!

Now we know what the corgi has been up to.

So much haterade here today, yeesh.

Glad you weren't hurt, TR. Did you at least get some venison in exchange?

Handy hints for when your todo list becomes overwhelming:

Create a spreadsheet with all your different main tasks. Mine has 36 items on it, mostly because I've elided a few dozen.

Assign each task a 1–10 ranking.

Haha! There's not just a single ranking scale. Use several. I'm using six. ("how does this item affect customer service", "will this item directly impact sales", "was this item promised to anyone?", "does this item have a looming deadline?" etc.)

Give each item a 1–10 ranking for each of the six different scales. Be accurate!

For bonus points, create an application that presents two items and a ranking scale at random, allowing you to vote for which item should be ranked higher on that particular scale. This will only involve 36 factorial times six times mumble votes. Trust me: building this tool will be more fun than anything on your list. You should go do that now.

Assign each scale a scaling factor for the scale so the scores ranked on that scale can be properly compared to all the other scales for the rankings of the items for which you are attempting to scale the cliffs of and now I've lost the beginning of this sentence. Pretty sure it involved scales.

Sort the list by cumulative score.

Tada! You now know the precise relative importance of each and every item you are currently ignoring in favor of posting here.

What? No integration? No differentiation? No FFT's? No fun.

Ch! Ch! Ch! Ch! Ch!

Um...does anybody ever feel overpaid? Raise your hand if you feel that way. And if so why have you not agreed to take less.

Personaly yes there are over paid CEOs...as there are overpaid Union Workers...heck that teenager down at the Buger King who sit around and does nothing but texts is being Overpaid. Being overpaid has nothing to do with your wealth level...just really bad work ethic.

I have been in positions where I've felt overpaid, even though I was making less than my male peers.

I tried to have my annual raise amount added to the raise pool for my department so I could give it to my guys. "We can't do that."

I tried to have my bonus distributed to my department. "We can't do that."

I'm sure it was all BS. There's no reason they couldn't do that except that it would make everyone else look bad. Why do you think there's such a taboo on sharing salary information within companies?

I figure we could get lost in it for months, sitting in the little launch. That would be fun!

Anybody have Cool Plans for the fog?
