Voltron Posted February 19, 2012 Report Posted February 19, 2012 (edited) I wouldn't actually use one of them, Scott, but people like you should have the right to choose! Which of the kids would you sell into slavery to pay for the other one's college, though, Steve? Al, How did you square the "I use an iPhone, and own several Mac's" conflict of interest? or is that just a naive outsiders view of proceedings? Are only jurors required to be unbiased?

ujamerstand Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Disassembled a pair of sr404s, and placed the drivers into clean plastic bags for storage. Then I noticed thin strands of curly gray hair stuck in between the grill and the dust protector, and I have no idea how to take them out.
HeadphoneAddict Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 How did you get pubic hair into the drivers?
ujamerstand Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 That's the problem, I don't have gray hair...
guzziguy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Posted February 20, 2012 Broke out the Xytronic soldering iron that I got myself for Christmas. 2010. I worked an hour or so on a Velleman kit to work off the rust. After I feel confident, I'll start on DIY again.

dsavitsk Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 My conservationist mother in law still resents my choice to earn money instead of saving the planet, but there were no law jobs where I could do both. The sad truth is that one can probably do more good for the world by working as a corporate lawyer and spending 80% of your salary to hire 4 public interest lawyers than by earning 80% less and working in public interest oneself. Lots of backlash against the law school industry lately, and worth reading about before venturing in: http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/20/the-bad-news-law-schools/?hp ... statistics that show, among other things, that while law schools produce annually 45,000 new graduates, only 25,000 openings for lawyers are projected “each year through 2018.” Not that the oversupply of lawyers means that Americans have all the legal services they need. In fact, Tamanaha reports, large populations are underserved. The paradox is easily explained: the kind of lawyering poor and disadvantaged communities require does not bring in enough money to attract newly minted lawyers trailing clouds of debt. “Law schools have created a systemic mismatch between graduates and jobs.” http://www.nytimes.com/2011/11/26/opinion/legal-education-reform.html?_r=1&scp=1&sq=american%20legal%20education%20is%20in%20crisis&st=Search
swt61 Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Which of the kids would you sell into slavery to pay for the other one's college, though, Steve? Well isn't obvious? Sophie is sweet and beautiful, so it can't be her. Alden is...well Alden is cute and has a killer sense of humor. So it has to be... well? Can you have another kid?
n_maher Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 As previously bitched about I worked all of Saturday and most of Sunday. But it was worth it since I finished the work a day early and was able to enjoy the holiday yesterday. Ian, who also was stuck working with me this weekend, and I decided to venture to northern NH in search of some actual (non-man-made) snow. Turns out that Cannon Mountain, in Franconia, has actually gotten some 7' of snow this year and the skiing was pretty fantastic. The upper, more technical portion of the mountain, was blissfully clear of Massholes.
Pars Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Great that you were able to get out Nate! was blissfully clear of Massholes. hadn't heard that one before...
spritzer Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 I'm finally resurfacing after a PITA weekend at work. No day under 12 hours for a week which culminated in a 19 hours yesterday without sitting down or taking a single break. Looks like I have a lot to catch up on...
Salt Peanuts Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 (edited) Great that you were able to get out Nate! hadn't heard that one before... Haven't driven in MasNoNoNoNoNoNosetts, have you? On a separade note, glad to see you got to enjoy at least a part of the weekend, Nate! Edited February 21, 2012 by Salt Peanuts

Vail's received over 14' this year and added a foot in the last week. Can't wait!
n_maher Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Mike, There was no snow on the ground until we were within 10 miles of the mountain, it was freaky. I'd bet that most other mountains in NH have virutally no real snow base, just whatever they've been able to make and maintain. Cannon is sort of a freak of nature, parked on the north side of Franconia Notch. Weather gets trapped up there and often is completely different from one end to the other. It was windy as hell on the south side but on was mostly calm until you got to the very top of the mountain. It's also a really steep mountain, 2100' of vertical in a short horizontal run. Look at a topo map if you're curious, this was about the best view that I could find.
mikeymad Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 third day of being laid up sick... wasted most of a three day weekend I could have spent getting wasted.
shellylh Posted February 21, 2012 Report Posted February 21, 2012 Very jealous Nate! Sucks about the sickness Mikey.
Absorbine_Sr Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Get better Mikey. The Scotch will start piling up if you're sick.
Grahame Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Surely a wee medicinal dram is called for? And some appropriate crisps?
jvlgato Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Get better soon, Mikey! My evening isn't complete if I haven't seen what you drank! Nate, that is just stunningly beautiful!
blessingx Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Mikey, was the streak broken today?
mikeymad Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Thanks guys - Yeah sad to say, I am back at work Had a little Lagavulin 12yo last night... I think it helped out. I had a sore throat last week after the SJ gathering. I thought I was okay to have a Beverage on Saturday.. but I think that it lowered my defenses just enough that it went into my head then... I don't know -- maybe I had a bit much.... being that they started out sealed.
shellylh Posted February 22, 2012 Report Posted February 22, 2012 Those must have been some big pours.
