Shelf life of liqueurs
Here's what I found, Shelly. Seems pretty thorough and reasonable. http://cocktails.about.com/od/stockyourbar/f/liquor_storage.htm

RIP someone or another
Cheers to this.

No, I wouldn't. I am not a fan of wireless mices. They tend to be tiny and make my bear-paw like hands hurt.

Hard to imagine them not looking like a bunch of reactionary twats if Tymon is telling the truth. On the plus side they've restocked the internet rage machine for at least a few weeks. I cannot fathom the gnashing of teeth and hammering of keyboards world-wide over the last few days.

I hadn't read about the 12" rMB yet but just skimmed a review and took a quick look at Apple's site and the one-port didn't strike me as a problem until I read that it's also the charging port. I wonder if a dock, like the one that Dan mentioned, will support fast charging or if there will be issue charging via a dock while say, using an external mouse (which I always do when I'm not using the laptop on my lap)?

I'll just add that the 13" rMBP has exceeded my expectations so far.

Part Sourcing Assistance/Advice Thread
Here's the full range from parts express. http://www.parts-express.com/cat/speaker-cabinet-spikes/317 Ebay also has some interesting options.

Apple Watch
They'd have been foolish not to offer an ultra-premium version. Megabuck modded iphones already exist in the aftermarket so why not grab that cash yourself? If one hasn't already shown up on the red carpet it's only a matter of minutes before it does, I'm sure. Me, I just don't see the point and I'm a gadget lover at heart. I try to picture how I'd use it and it never goes beyond "as a watch" and in that regard I much prefer my current, analog setup.

Share your favorite stores and parts here.
You vile temptress. And yes, in a year the community appears to have made great strides towards offering just about exactly what I'd want. Still not entirely sure how I'd use it but the X-Carve with it's footprint (16x16) is finally large enough to be useful to a whole lot more people than the previous 8" square sized models. The reasons to visit, of which there were already many, continue to pile up. I really need to do something about that in the springtime.

And now what did you do TODAY?
Happy belated, Bonnie!

My 2¢, if you're going to build an L-2 you'd want to see what other options might be available rather than the garden variety Edcor.

better to sell something than nothing? It also speaks to the markup that these things carry and the degree to which they can be marked down and that somebody is probably still breaking even or even turning a profit.

I just watched Ep6 from this year. As reported by others I thought it was well and truly hilarious. Also, Gillian Anderson... my god the years have been kind to her and, well, just wow. I've never been a huge fan, not having really watched X-Files, but that is a very attractive woman to these eyes.

Happy Birthday, Nate!
A good one was had indeed. Tonight will cap off the festivities with a small gathering of idiot friends a local bar.

Ugh, soooooo tempting.

Happy Birthday, Nate!
Thanks everyone. Had a decent day at work, left on time and as Shelly wisely predicted I'm polishing off a margarita now after a great dinner with the family.

Fuck in snow
from what I hear this is now headed our way and is supposed to arrive overnight. Could make tomorrow morning's commute pretty interesting.

Batteries in the washing machine
Shelly, In all seriousness, in addition to the sound advice given in this thread the only battery that you ever need to be really worried about is a 9V battery. I'm honestly surprised that they still exist in their current configuration. The proximity of the terminals and propensity to short out in multiple situations, including disposal, is actually something to consider. But AA's? Just toss them and forget about it. But that said, we do lots of things in life just to feel better about something so if it'll give you a little piece of mind my advice is to wash the sheets and rest easy.

I figured it'd be more fun if I didn't quote the original post.

I've actually successfully employed the kissing technique although I never use tongue. I can't imagine that helping either the speaker or kisser.

Vicki, assuming you have Netflix you should go all the way back to the beginning and watch it. There are some uneven patches, heck even recently they've stumbled a bit, but as you said it's not so much a car show as it is just a fun show to watch a lot of the time. I still go back and watch old episodes from time to time and watched a ton of them when Andrew wasn't sleeping well when he was little. edit - technically you can't go all the way back to the beginning since they don't include the first series but you aren't missing much there.
