I teach music in an elementary school. This is what a student wore to school. by mjpkt6in funny

[–]spiffiness -1 points0 points ago

You don't look like a music teacher, you look like a P.E. teacher. I'm trying to figure out what you might play, and I'm coming up with either bassist or drummer.

[TOMT] A game I played as a kid on an old mac by Ayeveein tipofmytongue

[–]spiffiness 1 point2 points ago

Possibly Blobbo (Blobbo Lite 1.0.2). It was a puzzle game where you were a yellow blob, and there were vines involved on some levels.

Nothing about rescuing anyone though.

So I was trying to install Mountain Lion... by idmbin mac

Yeah, but it'll be done in ~95 millennia. What's your hurry?

Internet Provider Options in San Jose? by typesettin SanJose

Sonic doesn't usually lease DSL anymore, not in the way you're implying. In most of the major CO's around the bay area, they've installed their own equipment as a CLEC, so they lease the local copper loop but connect their own ADSL2+ equipment to it. This is called their Fusion service.

$40/mo for up to 20mbps (technically 25, but they don't mention that since most people don't get above 20), including real POTS analog voice services with free nationwide long distance. I think it stands up nicely to the price/performance of Comcast's offerings.

Plus they're local and geek-friendly.

An Austrian's perspective on the cause of the great depression? by Eisenkraftin Anarcho_Capitalism

But fewer people trying to better their own situation means less prosperity for everyone. You're suggesting that if you kill the goose that lays the golden eggs, you can steal its current egg. But you'd be better off long-term if you kept the goose alive so it kept producing golden eggs and kept trading them on the open market.

Monsanto FDA finds another way to kill the small farmer by konquererzin Anarchism

[–]spiffiness 1 point2 points ago

No worries, I wasn't so much miffed at you as I was at the author of the original article. The author's lead paragraph was completely misleading, because it brought up Monsanto and the FDA even though the rest of the piece had nothing to do with that. I think the author was hoping to channel your overflow rage in exactly the way it worked out. :-)

It's clear Monsanto and the government (primarily the FDA) are in bed together. But this article offers absolutely no link between this DOJ action against this dairy farmer and anything about Monsanto or the FDA. It's like the author just stamped MONSANTO! FDA! on an article that had nothing to do with either. It strikes me as link-bait.

The headline had me all excited that it would be yet more fuel I could use against Monsanto and the FDA. I was sadly disappointed.

Came here looking for the goods on Monsanto and the FDA. Article didn't deliver.

The situation being reported totally sucks, but just because the federal government does something shitty to a small farmer doesn't mean Monsanto and the FDA were behind it. That Monsanto/FDA angle might fit better in /r/conspiracy .

If this weren't /r/paleo, I'd think it was a Ron Swanson joke.

This is so much better than the typical mom-and-new-baby picture, because they're usually taken within an hour or two of delivery with the mom still wearing a hospital gown and looking completely bedraggled and exhausted.

I think the trick is to stay in the hospital's post-delivery mother-and-baby unit for as many hours as your insurance will cover you for, then shower, do your hair and makeup, get in your street clothes, and then take the "mom and baby in hospital" pictures just before you head home.

Sad that Nevada put down BJ's, which is a California pizza chain that poses like a brewery-restrauant (complete with fake copper brewery equipment on display), but doesn't actually have a brewery on-site anywhere anymore as far as I can tell. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't have any breweries in Nevada.

You're really going out of your way to feed the trolls. The best way to be rid of folks like this is to just downvote and ignore them.

Did anyone else realize this in "Up"? by Strulein Images

The bottom picture isn't from UP. It's fan-art intentionally restyling the Fredricksons to luke like Leia and Han.

You may as well say, did you ever notice this in Calvin & Hobbes?

This blazing hypocrisy was so well-executed that I was expecting a novelty account.

I am 24 years old and just had my mind blown by my first root beer float. What are some great things the world has been hiding from you? by hella_wickedin AskReddit

[–]spiffiness 0 points1 point ago

There's a whole TED Talk about how some people apparently tie their shoes in a way that the knot always comes untied all the time, especially with dress shoes' short leather shoelaces.

Basically, if the loops of the top knot want to go vertical -- towards your leg and toe -- as opposed to side-to-side across your shoe, then you've been tying your shoes wrong.

I got my first ride in a Tesla Roadster a few weeks ago. Its acceleration is so amazing it is like all boost all the time. Also, the pure fast acceleration is not interrupted by shifting. It's just zero to oops-I-crapped-my-pants in no seconds flat.
