8/20    Anyone else here go to Burning Man in 1997? A friend

        \_ who the hell remembers 1997, esp. after all the weed?
        \_ I first went around then, but dont remember if it was exactly 1997.\
           It was the last year when they didn't fence it all off and keep
           people from driving around.   It was a blast then, but,
           unfortunately, there were tragic accidents.  Some idiots just ruin
           it all for the rest of us.  -ERic

7/12    Does Bay Area Fastrak charge monthly fee if you don't use it?
        \_ Nope.
           \_ There is such a fee in SoCal. WTF?
              \_ I know, $3/month if you don't use it at least 3 times a month.
                 I guess the good thing about it is that it can let you
                 select 1,2,or3 occupants and the rate will be adjusted.
                 Still, it is lame to have a tiered service.
              \_ SoCal sucks. So do The Dodgers.

7/12    Why is Russin so keen on stopping Snowden from leaking U.S.
        information?  The hard-liner Putin isn't someone who would want to

6/27    Big Gay Al is happy today.

6/13    If an illegal alien digs a tunnel and crosses the US border (but does
        not surface) and gives birth, is the birth considered to be in
        US soil?
        \_ I'm no laywer and I have no idea.  Some thoughts:
           1. Like you said, the baby would be technically born *in* US soil,
              not *on* US soil.
           2. However, I'm guessing that "jus soli" doesn't actually
              distinguish between "in" and "on", which is only an artifact of
              expressing the concept in English.
           3. How many feet down into the soil is US jurisdiction applicable?
              If it's a legitimate tunnel or subway station or basement of a
              building, sure.  But what about the tunnel here?  (This would
              affect whether jus soli applies.)

6/6     Is it me, or do workers in Costco stores work faster yet seem to be in
        better mood despite the pressure, than those in other stores like
        Walmart and Safeway?
        \_ Costco pays better and has profit sharing.
        \_ it is true, but I don't know why. I'm guessing more pay/employee
           means they have a better pool of candidates to pick from, kind of
           like how Ivy League schools can pick smarter students than
           Ivy rejects (e.g. your local community college).

5/4     I'm getting an overdue bill for an amount of $1.56. Do you think they
        would spend money on me to give a $1.56 IOU to a collection agency?
        \_ Are you really going to sweat it over $2? (incl stamp)
        \_ Yes, absolutely. And it's not the company spending money to send
           you to collections -- the collection agencies buy the debt from
           the company you owe.

4/26    Newegg return policy is a PITAY! No returns on motherboards and CPUs.
        Restocking fees are a whopping 15%. Even Fry's Electronics lets
        me return motherboards and CPUs. Fuck Newegg. No more.

4/15    Silver and gold are killing me. Worst day evAr.

3/3     On a related note how do I stop all these political junk mail
        sent to my physical address? How did they get my address
        in the first place?
        \_ White Pages from your land-line phone company?
        \_ White Pages from your land-line phone company?  County property
           record?
           \_ I've been landline free for 5 years
        \_ 1) You cannot, in America we have a 1st Amendment right to be stupid
           2) Probably from the voter rolls. Are you registered to vote?
           \_ they definitely have different mailings targetting different
              registered political party affiliations
        \_ When I registered D, I got very little pamphlets. When I registered
           I, I got a bunch of political spam. Maybe I'll register R next
           time and see what happens. Is anyone else here registered as I?
           \_ When I was G I barely got any junk mail. Now that I am D, my
              mailbox is innundated. I live in SF, so all the local offices
              are D vs D. The Rs never win anything here.

1/24    Hi, I was caught in a cryogenic mishap for a decade or so,

        \_ No. It's a matter of about 10 minutes' work to fix it, but the
           time, knowledge, and inclination have yet to converge.
        \_ actually this reminds me to ask... suppose your father
           sets up trust funds for you, and down the road he is caught

           that money?

1/12    How much do personal (workout) trainers cost typically?
        \_ It depends, but something like $80/hour. This is usually on

           work out of their own facility.
