Personally, I think these

Personally, I think these x-ray scanners are horrible and invasive. I underwent breast augmentation after I had a sentinel node removed, and I have to warn you that sometimes it’s better to pay a little bit more and go to a more reputable doctor. I’m not going to list his name because it’s not like a got an infection or was a victim of malpractice or anything – it’s just that he has a poor eye for his work, to put it mildly. If you really want to see what I mean (and have the constitution for this sort of thing) look at the breast augmentation before and after pictures. I understand that I am still recovering from the removal of the lymph node, but this is obviously a botched job here. I guess that’s what I get for getting the operation in Chula Vista. But anyway, the last thing I was is for some TSA idiot looking at a full 3D model of this every time I get on an airplane.

Corrent vs. Old

It may not be the traditional usage of the word but you’ve been under a rock if you were not aware it has in modern times also come to mean matchmaker.

Thank you for your brilliant explanation of creating and posting

I had no idea how the clips were created for YouTube so it was brilliant to have such a comprehensive rundown of what you had to go through in order to make your Hilter DMCA clip and keep it on YouTube.

Thanks for enlightening me and others who need to know this stuff is going on.

I've heard this plot before...

yenta?

Why do you say "yenta"? That is not the correct use of the word "yenta."

I think you mean "shadkhnte" -- assuming you mean a woman. (More often it is a man -- a shadkhn.)

prepaid plans in US and Canada

Anonymous — Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:14:17 -0700

I'll have a 2 - 3 months trip in the USA and Canada (combined). I have an unblocked iPhone 3G which I use when I travel to the US. Last time there I used an ATT prepaid sim card, but I felt it was too expensive.

Does anyone knows of a cheap solution for me to use during 2 or 3 months in USA and Canada? I would also need data transfer (internet) on my iPhone.

I have an idea, but I'm not sure it would work:

I have an unlimited landlines and cell phones calls plan with skype in the US and Canada. I also have a skype phone number in the US. Since I have the skype app in my iPhone, would it be good idea to buy just a data transfer prepaid sim card (1-5G maybe), and then only use iPhone's skype to make all my calls within US and Canada?

thanks

Why would you EVER tell the

Why would you EVER tell the girl? I suppose if you were getting married or something you might tell at that point, but if she's really going to marry you I seriously doubt something that silly would be a deal breaker.

What is the VPAs work at

What is the VPAs work at nearby work stations? or what if they were one and the same person?
This could definitely get interesting.

Tim Ferriss of The 4-Hour Workweek has a post about this a while back. "The result? More than 20 dates in one weekend and a long-term girlfriend."

Canadian phone in Us

Try Telhop ( telhop.com ) unlimited calls in North America while roaming for $1.00/call. They also have another option.
No contracts pay as you go. If you get an answering machine or wrong number call them and they will reverse the charge.

Swedish public radio (which

hojo — Sat, 28 Aug 2010 17:44:30 -0700

Swedish public radio (which has had a quite progressive comedy department for a long time) took this scenario one step further in the late 80ies by calling two different live phone sex lines and connecting them together; both parties to the somewhat confusing conversation were in professionally suggestive ways trying to find out what sexual topic the other was interested in but not getting very far...

When the truth comes out, I would imagine the appropriate end result is that the VPAs themselves date each other!

We're not there yet but at some point picocells will be limited by the distribution of the wired bandwidth that is installed. You can't install a picocell per room if each room isn't already wired.

Wireless carriers are actually less monopolistic than residential internet providers - at least you have a choice upfront. However, I'd still like to see lower prices if they aren't providing you with a discounted phone, no tying of voice and data plans, standardization of protocols and no locking of phones.

The tying of devices to networks has been getting worse in the last few years from my perspective - there's no 3G phone available that can access the 3G networks of both AT&T and T-mobile, for instance - but I think that technology will eventually alleviate these problems. Software radios will allow your phone to work on multiple bands and protocols seem to be moving towards standardization with LTE.

How much fuel

brad — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 09:08:45 -0700

You’re doing pretty well if you only eat 2500 calories per day. It depends what your food is and how it’s grown when dealing with any personal situation. This article did the math on average US agriculture and beef.

You’re biking for around 10 hours you suggest, perhaps 5 hours more than you need to maintain your fitness level. So look up Calories consumed by a person of your weight cycling at 19mph and subtract Calories used sitting down. That’s how much extra food you are eating. The multiply by 10 to get fuel calories to bring you the average food. There are 31,500 Calories in a gallon of gasoline, thus 3,150 food Calories for each gallon-equivalent.

So how much fuel am I using

Willhub — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 07:27:22 -0700

So how much fuel am I using when I cycle up to 350 miles a week, on average I am doing around 200 miles a week at around 19mph average.

Probably eating around 2500 calories a day.
