I just want a coffee. I don't want a cookie or scone. I don't have a membership card. I don't want the super giant size. Just take my goddamn money and give me the coffee before I jump over the counter and fracture your skull

What's wrong with a cookie? Don't you like cookies?

Has Woody posted today? I wonder if he's a dad. I think it might be a bit early.

Nevermind. He's been hanging out in the politics thread.

So we have the main computer, it's the one on a desk with a nice monitor and speakers, my wife and I both use it for most of our computing. We each have profiles on it, so we can have our own desktops and my document folders and firefox setups with saved sessions (gmail, facebook etc). She never switches profiles now, so I'll go on to gmail and take a quick scan of the inbox and see a new email from our hot neighbor and get all excited thinking why is the hot neighbor email ME? then I realize it's her gmail and feel the let down.

Where does this rank in spousal non-sense, is it leaving the toilet seat up? Forgetting to take the trash out.... I can't decide.

Merkins have to be one of the most disgusting things ever invented.

if i could do it all over again i would learn german and then enroll in a high school in germany so i could get their take on the world wars.

It doesn't. Spousal non-sense can only be on the part of the male. That's the rule.

You didn't read the e-mail? Is there a chance at a 3 way?

Black hole of cyberspace -- many posters enter, never to return

People seem willing to put up with a greater degree of nastiness in regard to their coffee machines than most other aspects of life.

Medium or Large is a constant problem for me.

The gag isn't as funny when the comic is so old that you have to remember it's a gag.

Dad?

the awesome 45-dollar space heater we bought for our living room is making my roommates wonder if we should buck the gas heat and roll with electric through the winter.

Did you get your electric bill yet though...?

BTU for BTU, electric heat is probably almost twice as expensive as gas heat. But the advantage of electric is you can only heat as much of the living space as you occupy. So figure out how many space heaters you'd need to be comfortable through the winter and go from there.

There are formulas you can use to determine the comparative costs. Here's the electric-to-gas comparison:

Figure out your price per therm by dividing your total fuel bill by the total therms of natural gas consumed. This is your price per therm.

Multiply the electricity price per kWh by 29.3 to give the equivalent price per therm of natural gas.
