Topic | Why don't phones have a "random dial" button? |
dancer62 07/23/18 7:58:09 PM #22 | They do! It's an option only available in India. It spams calls to the US and also comes with a set of fake identities and scripts, such as "IRS Agent". --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | I might really be the SunWuKung of legend. |
dancer62 07/23/18 4:38:49 PM #59 | So how many thousands of years will you be buried under a mountain? I guess we won't be hearing from you for a while. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | Do you like watching golf on tv? |
dancer62 07/22/18 9:16:23 AM #11 | Yes, absolutely. I'll never be able to hit drives like the top pros, but it's great to watch. Their ability to sink long putts is fascinating, too. It's also good to see the courses. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | ps4 vs Nintendo switch vs Xbox one |
dancer62 07/21/18 6:44:39 AM #8 | X1, obviously. X1 has the multiplats that PS4 does, plus its own exclusives like Forza. Although I have every Nintendo console from NES to 3DS, Switch has nothing that appeals to me. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 07/18/18 10:35:55 PM #23 | SunWuKung420 posted... That's a hell of a misquote. I figured you meant "fryer", a cooking apparatus, rather than "friar", a monk or priest, but it was too absurd to pass up. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 07/18/18 8:10:42 PM #20 | SunWuKung420 posted... Which admittedly is just putting them in the friar and saucing them when they're done. Saucing the friar? Really? And I'm not even Catholic. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 07/18/18 7:12:10 PM #52 | Krazy_Kirby posted... dancer62 posted...bulbinking posted...There are 4 grannies who have voted on this poll so far. Which has absolutely nothing to do with sluggishly pulling away from a traffic light. I don't tailgate. And the kind of idiots I'm talking about are as likely to push the brake as the gas, or both at the same time. The only one-lane roads I see are driveways, ok to drive 10mph there. But, in the absence of car trouble, if you can't accelerate to at least 25 on a 45mph boulevard, why are you even driving? --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 07/18/18 2:06:44 PM #38 | bulbinking posted... There are 4 grannies who have voted on this poll so far. Yes, I'm a grandmother, and voted "other", sluggish drivers that make me slip my clutch to keep from overrunning them. If a sports car behind you is blipping their throttle, be courteous and freaking get going! The go pedal is on the right, push it! 20mph or even faster won't give you a nosebleed! --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | What do you hate the most about other drivers? |
dancer62 07/18/18 9:03:09 AM #11 | Drivers that agonizingly slowly ooze away from a light, making me slip my clutch to keep from running into them. Gee, guys, the right pedal is "go", 20mph isn't going to cause nosebleeds, get going and let me at least shift into second. Sluggish and inattentive drivers in general. Especially the ones who can't read speed limit signs who also wander out of their lane, then speed up and tailgate when you pass them. And an honorable mention for the ones who can't seem to get going on a left turn light, finally go through on the yellow, and make you wait for another complete cycle of the lights before you can make your turn. My license plate frame says "Lady Pilots Don't Stall Around". --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 07/15/18 11:21:00 PM #41 | Government jobs. Anything from wastewater tech to office clerk. Tons of jobs with no requirement other than a HS education, sometimes not even that. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 07/05/18 8:16:56 AM #51 | Delicinq4 posted... The important thing is that women must always have the right to choose to kill the living baby inside of them that exists as a consequence of their ill-thought out promiscuity. How many men do you know that, even in the unlikely event that they keep their promises, you'd carry their little parasite in your belly for nine months and then spend another 18 years raising it? It would be a much different story if men got pregnant. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | I remember when a "gaming" PC was something with a 44Mhz processor |
dancer62 07/05/18 7:32:14 AM #11 | Blaqthourne posted... I don't think an 8086 could run at 44Mhz. Or a 6502, in Atari, Commodore, Apple, the most common gaming computers. Cassette tape drives. Type-in games from computer magazines. And, if you had an extra $600 to spare, a giant step up to 170k single-sided floppies. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

Topic | Any games you own that you have not played yet? |
dancer62 07/04/18 7:50:18 PM #7 | Tons. Atari, Odyssey, NES/SNES, Genesis stuff I bought off the spiff tables at Vintage Stock at a good price, PS1, Dreamcast, and N64 stuff on closeout from Blockbuster 15 years ago, stuff mentioned in Top10 lists that looked interesting that I bought cheap on Ebay that I never got around to playing. Some I booted to make sure it worked, then set it aside for someday. That's not counting digital stuff picked up for a few bucks from PSN sales. A treasure trove for my grandkids when I get tired of it. Of course, the digital stuff will never be worth the cost of the storage media. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | If religion evolved from god then why is there still god? |
dancer62 06/29/18 4:49:38 PM #10 | Religion evolved from charlatans setting themselves up in the "wise man" business (except for midwifery, no girls allowed). Anything could be explained by the invisible presence of a godling, who spoke through his mouthpiece, the wise man, who then deserved the best cuts of meat, best place by the fire, a Mercedes-Benz and a private jet, all supported by the sheeple. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

Topic | How would you rate Donald J Trump's performance as POTUS so far? |
dancer62 06/28/18 10:48:08 PM #13 | I can't believe anything in the news any more, but I also can't imagine a public figure stupid enough to run his mouth on social media. Out of the best and brightest in the entire eligible population of the United States, the Democrats and Republicans chose to represent us: a clownish reality TV "star" and the failed Arkansas comedy team of Hil&billy. On the other hand, I expected good things of the first Black president, but he did more to damage race relations in the US than anyone since Orville Faubus. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | Poll: Are you comfortable being in the nude around your friends? |
dancer62 06/28/18 11:57:40 AM #24 | Odd question. Dressing room before a show while changing into costume, sure. Deliberate nudity, no. Friends? Why would that make a difference? Friends or strangers, other dancers. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
Topic | Do you wash your hands with Hot or Cold water? |
dancer62 06/28/18 11:44:54 AM #27 | It depends. Cold water and hand soap most of the time. Hot water and dish soap when I'm cooking and handling raw meat. GoJo with pumice followed by cold water and hand soap if I've been working on cars. And, yes, it takes time for hot water to make it from the basement water heater to the bathroom or kitchen taps. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |

dancer62 06/18/18 9:32:22 AM #20 | Used to do pretty much this, with four jobs. 8-5, then 6-10, then a split shift either 11-3 or 3-7, five days a week, 8-12:30 Sat morning, then 1-4, then usually pick up a split shift Sat night, Sunday 10-2, easy day if I didn''t pick up another shift.

Small suburban ranch house, single car garage, single car, window air conditioner (what a novelty!) purchased when I was 12 or so, black and white television when I was eight.

Topic | Would mandatory gun ownership prevent Mass SchoolShootings? |
dancer62 06/12/18 12:31:03 AM #15 | RedPixel posted... Mandatory gun ownership is just as stupid of an idea as gun control. So why does it work so well in Israel? Everybody is part of the militia, everyone is trained, everyone has an issued submachinegun: minimal terrorism besides being a such a fat target, no school shootings. Hmm... no school shootings in the US when grandma had a .32 on the nightstand, and grandpa had the Mauser he brought back from the Great War. And all the kids had .22s and Daisy BB guns, the little kids had cap pistols and cork guns and played cowboys, g-men, soldiers, etc. vs. bad guys. Now snowflakes are protesting the political candidate that rode in a Memorial Day parade in a version of the old Rat Patrol jeep, with a fake machinegun on the rollbar.

Topic | What's the best era of music? |
dancer62 06/06/18 1:24:31 PM #17 | Medic375th posted... If you ask those that participated in this poll what decade were they in middle and/or high school I bet if you overlaid the two polls - it would line up almost exactly. It's only natural to think your generation of music is the best. So a poll like this will NEVER accurately portray which decade actually had the best music because it is based upon the age of those participating. Nope. Graduated high school in 1964, and although I like all kinds of pop/rock from Les Paul to Shonen Knife, my favorites are Within Temptation, Cruxshadows, Dragonforce, etc. So my favorite music is 2000s. --- If ballet was easy, it would be pointe-less |
