The rules say if you skip the ice water you donate $100, if you do the ice water you donate $10
Those are more guidelines, really. You should donate whatever you can/wish to whether you ice or not. If you don't want to do the ice, donating $30 is still very helpful.

Nothing about the ice part of it worries me. I didn't know that $10 was the rule. I was suggesting doing the ice bucket part and donating $30.

Which it looks like I'll be doing, because I was just challenged by that friend I mentioned

What I did was dumped over my head and challenged four people, and donated ten plus five for everyone that accepted the challenge. Only one accepted so I donate fifteen, but I could've donated up to thirty. Basically donate whatever you want and that still helps.

Pros and cons of my current living situation...

Pros:
All the exterior doors are card access.
It comes with a microwave for some reason, and it's a really nice commercial-sized one too.
Adjustable shower heads.
The closet is gigantic.
I live very close to the laundry room.
I live in the back part of the building, which means the view out of my window is of the woods. People who live in the front get a lovely view of a carpark.

Cons:
My apartment is on the first floor, which partially negates the benefits of the doors.
The closest exterior door is the one by the dumpsters.
God damn the bathroom is really small
There is no carpet
I'm pretty sure this oven is from the 70s.
I don't think the thermostat does anything.
Apparently we share a breaker panel with the apartment next door.

It just occurred to me that I could buy lampshades for the lights in my flat, and also curtains. I don't have to use the ones the landlord provided, I just have to put them back before I move out. I have no idea why I never thought of this before.

Gotta say after the discussion that ensued after that triangle photo in the previous page I'm feeling a little bit like a mathematical idiot. I had to do the actual maths involved (a squared plus b squared equals c squared) to get the answer.

Ok, here's what I don't get. The metric system, for the most part, makes sense. The only thing that seems unnecessarily complicated is the definition of a meter as "the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second." Ok, if that's how you're going to measure a meter, and you already know how generally long it is, why not define a meter as an even 1/300,000,000th of a light second?

Because then the length of the meter would have changed by about 100 microns. It doesn't sound like a whole lot, but that amount matters.

No, no, I mean why wasn't the meter originally decided as that amount? Or was the meter much older than the current measurement?

That is, was the meter that length, and people made the connection to the light second after the fact? Or was the meter always measured in connection with it?

The meter was defined long before the light-second. The original definition back in the 1780s was 1/10,000th the length of a line from the North Pole to the equator passing through Paris. When they realized how crappy of a definition that was (they didn't have the ability at the time to measure that distance accurately), they redefined it in terms of an arbitrary metal rod in Paris.

edit -- and in between the arbitrary metal rod and the speed of light definition, they defined it in terms of an emission line in Krypton-86.

edit 2 -- Akima beat me to linking to the Wikipedia article.

Because the speed-of-light thing was back-filled to provide a high-precision standard long after the metre had been defined by other criteria. To define it as you suggest would change its size by a small but significant (for high-precision work) amount.

It's also why the inch is 25.4 millimeters instead of 25 mm. When the U.S. abandoned the old standard for the inch in the late 1800s, the definition was known well enough that changing it by 400 microns would have been a problem, but poorly enough that rounding it off at 25.4 mm (rather than defining it more precisely) was sufficient.

Ugh, pants that are too tight are the worst.

I hate that most of my pants fit me great in the legs but then are too loose in the waist. Then I have to keep hiking them up through the day. Or I find ones that actually DO fit in the waist (and stretch slightly to fit my legs) and then I put them in the dryer because they've stretched from being worn but then after drying they are too tight.


Oh wait, this is not the complaints thread. Whooops.  :-P

Actually, they might fit better now if we rounded down.  I've lost about 15 lbs since the meetup in Detroit.  Most of my pants slide down to an embarrassing point now.  (not quite em-bare-assing yet, though.  At least, not with a belt on  :-D)

However, the next size down ones in the back of the closet are still a bit uncomfortable.  They're 2 inches smaller in the waist - I sorta skipped a size on the way up...

I'm not grown up! I am not really yet in a position to grow old either. Many of my friends, many of them younger then me who didn't join the military are on their second or even third child, most of them have college degrees or have started grad school... and here I am. Fucking around, drinking beer, divorced, depressed, damaged and playing with toy soldiers.

Yeah a large majority of my friends are either married, have kids, or are in a long term relationship. I have none of those things! And I don't want them.

At least I finally have a car.

what she said was sad, but then, all the rejections she's had, to pretend to be happy could only be idiocy

Note to self: stop buying chocolate-based products that come in packages of very small units. There's never a possibility of eating just a few M&Ms when there's 300 grams right in front of you.

I'm keeping it specific to chocolate because it just takes such a long time to get sick of the taste. Before that it's basically a positive feedback loop of "I just ate some chocolate. I should eat more chocolate." Other things like liquorice tastes worse the more you eat of it, which ends the loop much sooner.
