Dear The Walking Dead...

Why are your characters idiots?

I mean, I like the show, don't get me wrong. Season One was great, and Season Two was still okay, but I don't think I have ever wanted to punch a character in the face for being stupid as much as I did last night with Lori (we've been watching them online; I guess we're about up to S3E5 or so).

Really? At my age I couldn't figure this out on my own? *Facepalm*

Creative Storage Solutions 101: If you don't have enough space to fit your Christmas trifle in the fridge, leaving it on your barbecue on the porch when it's -20c out there is a creative way to refrigerate it.

Protip: FOR ABOUT A WEEK. Leaving it out there until you go to fire up the ( Read more... )

Pop-Chips are available in my local Safeway. Gonna drop by and have a word with the manager there tomorrow when I do my grocery shopping. Meanwhile, I have sent the company this email:

Dear Pop-Chips,

I am writing to let you know how deeply appalled I was to see Ashton's "Raj" ad for your chili-lime chips. I cannot ( Read more... )

So I've been working my way through the archives at passive-agressive notes.com, when I came across this doozy. Note to the non-IT techs here: the reason that computer nerds stereotypically wear cardigans is that computers do not like heat. ideally, you want it around 10c/50F in your server room (or colder) but that is a bit low to ask your workers ( Read more... )

Okay, this just doesn't make any sense to me. Could someone please explain why claiming self-defense under Florida's Stand Your Ground law prevents someone from even being charged? Doesn't it make more sense that you go to trial for second-degree murder, and if it is then found to have been in self-defense, then you are acquitted?

Frankly I think ( Read more... )

Just sent this email to my local Member of Parliament, cc'd the Prime Minister, and sent a modified version (to be speaking directly to him rather than a third party) to the minister in question.

I invite any other Canadians who read this to do the same. What the hell, guys?

Dear Ms. McLeod;

I just heard a report on CBC Radio One's "The World at ( Read more... )

Came across this and thought I'd share it here, partly so I can find it again. There's a car with a bumpersticker* that I find particularly irritating on several levels driving around, and I want to leave it on their windshield..

What is a “hypothesis”?
A guess that we can go and test!
Any different from a “theory”?
Evidence supports it, clearly ( Read more... )

Seriously, guys. What do we have to do with you to get you Americans (well, your bloody government, anyways) to stop screwing everything up for the rest of us?!  You're polluting the planet, consuming resources at an unsustainable rate, sending bloody missionaries out to places like Uganda to persuade them to make being gay punishable by death, you ( Read more... )

You have got to be fucking KIDDING me.

So, okay, the States spends billions on hot lunch programs for schools. And childhood obesity is a huge problem. So they wanted to get more fruits and veggies onto the menus. But of course, if kids are taught that they aren't supposed to actually LIKE fruits and veggies, then for some reason, they tend to not ( Read more... )
