  1. The problem with this is that if I liked hearing it enough that I want to share then somebody wanted to hear it...me! "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  2. Ah, you are right...I didn't really look at the sigma notation very closely, and automatically went to the last thing I did with sigma to infinity (which was a finance equation for a perpetuity where the summation always equals zero). Therefore I assumed zero, where in fact it is 1.
  3. I got -.998. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  4. Donate everything possible. Cremate the rest, and divided up among family and friends to do with whatever they want. They can keep me, jump with me, or what ever! Unless...i'm murdered or cause of death is suspicious, then I want to be buried as is, and permission is given to exhume me if need be. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  5. When i was little (grew up in Idaho) it was always pop. When i got older that word just started to sound weird, so now it's soda, or the type I want (sprite, rootbeer). The one southern Idaho saying that my mom took awhile to figure out was "Jockey Box." Which is, of course, the glove compartment in the car. oh, and BTW I think Xerox is a horrible substitute for copy. it just never makes sense to me, and I also try to stay away from calling wingsuits birdman suits. (Mainly because if it gets too common the company can lose that name, think Aspirin it used to be a brand name.) "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  6. Every Monday I only work from 4-7...it's very nice! "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

    Daytona 500

    Well, my mother has a cardboard standup (the kind they have at stores for advertising) of Tony Stewart, and her friend has one of Jeff Gordon. So my mom bet her Tony if Gordon finished before Stewart, and her friend matched the bet with his Gordon... Well, Stewart finished last, so my mom now has two of these creepy standup things. She told me that they are now making out in her hallway. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  8. Well, according to my personal view on base jumping, it doesn't matter what you get in exchange for it, if you don't absolutely need to base, then don't! "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

    He's making out with Tony Stewart in the hallway at my mom's house....oh, wait, totally different story. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  10. I killed half the world, yay. I'm having one of those days due to my flu, but luckily I'm too weak to leave the house. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

    I suppose it made all those people happy that are mad about no longer racing to the line when the caution is thrown, and never wanting a race to finish under yellow. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  12. I have no idea, but I'm bored and sick so I will share with you that "fairy floss" is cotton candy according to the aussies I know. Not that it has anything to do with your question, but we're under yellow waiting for the shootout in the 500. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  13. Well the mattress is pretty new (under a year old), and we didn't have problems when we first got it. The blankets were washed two days ago. (Plus, I took one off the bed to sleep on the floor with.) My honey has the same thing too (coughing, but no fever or aches). It seems like everyone in the area is getting sick, so I think it's the flu . "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  14. So I don't know if this proves or disproves my theory, but I'm sleeping on the bed again, and the sick is back! Fever back up to 101.2, and I can't stop coughing for the life of me when I'm lying down. I only slept at all last night thanks to some nyquil, but I think it just dried me up and that's why I'm coughing so bad. Grrrr, make this stop! "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  15. Nope, she's not a weather forecaster, but she is a lesbian. So I don't think I would be within my rights to harm her. It is definitely not okay to harm people from Lebanon. Just because someone is from Lebanon is not a reason to do them harm. Now if they were a weather forecaster it would be different. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage

  17. It might be worth it, but when the landlord sees the mess, she will insist we give the flux capacitor to her. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  18. It was carpet. Whenever I have a fever I just want to lay on the floor, any floor. I really makes me feel better, and I am one of the few not privileged enough to own a flux capacitor.
  19. So, I have been sick for about two weeks now. At first it was just coughing, no big deal. Then I was sneezing all day two days ago, and yesterday I had a fever of 101.6 and major body aches. I couldn't get comfy in bed, and I realized that I just wanted to be on the floor. Laid down on the floor, fell asleep, and when I woke up I felt way better. Fever's down to 99, and my aches are gone. I am convinced that sleeping on the floor helps when I am sick, is there any reason this might be true?

  20. Maybe not a special school, but he needs SOMETHING to help him learn how to use his gift without other people (mainly kids) treating him differently or taking advantage or it. If he's only hanging around 'normal' kids, he's going to be treated as the 'weird' one. Give him some atmosphere where he has actual peers. That will give him a chance to be a kid, and not grow up too fast because he had to be an outsider. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  21. Video games! Like if this gun holds 40 bullets and I shoot 5 of them at the sniper guy, how many bullets are left? This is assuming he already plays those types of games...you wouldn't want to introduce him to violence like that . If that's too violent, you could try sports stats. Like if you have to throw 3 strikes to get a batter out, and he has two strikes on him, how many more until he's out? It shouldn't be too hard to turn 'kiddie' problems into more adult ones by just looking at what he's interested in...then again you could be looking for something that's already put together as a system, and that I know nothing about.
  22. i was thinking about that during the episode! i know for a fact that if I didn't show up for work everyone I work with would be very worried about me. We are very close, I mean if I go out of town my boss gets upset if i don't call to tell him I made it all right
  23. Oh! I just got a picture of my new honeys!...though I must say, I still love my old honey (we're seperated because I moved away) and I go back and hook up with (and jump ) him a few times a year. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  24. Too late I already missed the whole thing....stupid work! I want a recap! and I want to know why it was deleted...shouldn't comedy (good and bad) be saved for future generations? Edit: I just got good news that this will not be lost! For those of you that missed it, here's a re-cap: http://lagaff.com "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
  25. Drinking is definitely not a weak point for me. I only drink during the summer (mainly just not in the mood in the winter) and then only one or two drinks a week, maybe. Bingo! Eating is not fun for me (hence the 1100 calories). I don't like to eat, so I eat what I like . I've had major workups on my nutrition levels with the ballet studio I used to be with, as well as for recent investigation into some joint problems. Results are that all of my levels are normal and healthy (and I have very high levels of stored calcium, yay milk!). And, btw, just for my view on nutrition...I think supplements are a crock! and that ingesting over 100% of what your body needs of anything is risky. I DO want to lose some weight. I knew I would gain weight after leaving ballet, but I have put on more than what is, to me, healthy. In about two years I have gone from 115 to about 150 (last weigh in was about a month ago). I'm 5'5", and want to be between 120-130. Lately, I have been able to stick (mostly) to a 20 min. workout of situps, pushups and some ballet six days a week. As for walking around the block...wayyyyy too scary! I am seriously scared of this city and would never walk alone anywhere! Ughh...most of this is just venting, sorry, but it's stuff I need to get out. edit to add: Pasta, I eat that too! I make my own and it is yummy! and water tastes like water until you put kool-aide in it. I tend to get most of my water from juice and gaterade, and have never been told on a workup (believe me I've had many) that I am dehydrated. "I reject your reality and substitute my own" ~Adam Savage
