The Vanilla Ice project is pretty much as awesome as I thought it would be.

William Shakespeare: Newly-discovered image revealed - Telegraph

Pretty funny that one of my students this semester wrote a paper on the controversy over Shakespeare's authorship, and this pops up five days after the student hands the paper in.

Reminds me of the time I wrote a paper discussing various candidates to replace Yassir Arafat, and the guy I argued was the best choice for a successor died the day I turned the paper in.

Not really. I liked the first one and love Anna Kendrick.

larrymcg421 · 05-19-2015, 01:26 PM

Anna is good as usual and she has a side plot with Keegan Michael Key, who is hilarious. There were good call backs to the original, although Jesse gets pushed to the side a little bit. Hailee Steinfeld was a great addition and it seems like they're grooming her to be the new Becca for future sequels.

Mad max was way better than I expected and going in I thought it was going to be great. Charlize Theron is a fucking badass.

stevew · 05-19-2015, 04:06 PM

I've seen the first one probably 3-5 times on cable, I'm sure I'll like the second one but pretty much nothing gets me to the theatre.

Well at the very least you could take Matt Hasselbeck with you. For Cleveland it would still be an upgrade.

NobodyHere · 05-20-2015, 02:29 PM

dola,

Or bring a wide receiver with you, I think the Colts are up to 10 playable ones and Cleveland could surely use one.

I think downtown rent isn't awful. The Q and Progessive field are walkable. And if you wanna have a family you can move out to the country burbs.

Lakewood is pretty nice too. I've spent a ton of time there. I like Cleveland. I have a lot of family there and have spent a lot of time in and around the city.

Then again, I live in Detroit, so my city bar is kind of low.

Ah, the Collis brand test tool - been there, done that.

Good luck on EMV. Hopefully you are a good developer (or you have good devs on your team if you are a QA). Bad devs will cause lots of problems with EMV implementations.

And contactless is super fun compared to contact...

It's not horribly awful, but depending on your implementation, a lot of things are outside of your control, especially if you use someone elses kernel or hardware.

So many times we had things working but found an issue with a certified kernel which required them to make changes. Then we got to test all over again to be sure they didn't break something else. Fun times.

Just won two tickets to the Red Sox on local radio for a contest that was a prayer to the Sports God for LeBron and the Cavs to lose game 1 tonight.

Dear Sports God,
We petition you in all of your benevolent grace and omnipotence and sincerely and humbly ask to bestow your blessing on the Hawks of Atlanta. That they may put the holy orange orb through the netted halo more often than their opponents, the Cavaliers of Cleveland on this night. Please use your divine influence to smite The False Prophet, the Pretender, LeBron James and banish him and his unbelievers to defeat. Amen.

Hell, I don't even know what I'm using this damn thing for.

I work for a processor, we're just adding EMV support to our certs with TSYS/FDR (I'm guessing if you know the Collis tool when you see it, you know who those fuckwads are - emphasis on fuckwads).

Of course, writing my own drivers for these terminals so I can read the raw data is proving to be obnoxious.

Hmm, she's a thicker woman than shown on TV, for sure. Top AND Bottom.

but.

my rando thought is that that weird Chicken Fries dude on Tosh.0
he was a picky ass eater and would eat them non stop,
he was crushed when they discontinued.

Ive never had the BK "Chicken Fries" but theyre back.

Im not gonna try them, but when I see that commercial, I think that dude is
pretty happy

stevew · 05-22-2015, 10:40 PM

Tried to watch St Elmos Fire and Tosh bringing up that Demi Moore real life merkin photo from that time period kinda took me out of her.

She is hot and ,even better, she seems to have a really good personality. She is one of the few celebs that I actually enjoy following on twitter.

I have to admit, extreme forms of anorexia is one thing I don't "get". I can understand drug addiction, depression, and the like. But I just don't understand how a person can look like they stepped out of Auschwitz and aren't willing to gain a few pounds.
