Ok. I'll stop doing push ups and start eating more cream doughnuts.

Here's the deal, you need to change something in Windows and have forgotten under which subheading or which tab under which subheading it is and have had to, for the umpteenth time go through a bunch of clicks to get to where you want to go.

Here's how to avoid that.

Create a new folder on the desktop or anywhere else

Now rename the folder to:

AllInOne.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

You can change the "AllInOne" part of it to whatever you want and of course you can just copypasta the curly brackets bit from here.

Sorted.

Now you have all the commands for changing things in Windows in one list.

An Inuit fellow moved down here from the Yukon, and he told us that he only had to put a jacket on once while here - below zero weather = positively balmy to a guy who is accustomed to regular -30. There is a town in Siberia, I believe, coldest inhabited region on earth, where the average temp is like -70. It warms up to -30 for a few days every year. That is summer, in this town.

I wouldn't be so sure that we here in BC have it worse than folks out east. At least our weather is moderated by the Pacific Ocean, whereas the poor fuckers in the central and eastern regions get the brunt of the polar air.

This information has been around since about 1995. So you were only off by 12 years or so - not bad.

I hardly ever see my desktop - only when I reboot which doesn't happen all that often - I just did one and saw it on my desktop and thought I would share it with you.

After many years - especially about twenty - things get so obvious that you don't think about it any more. If I hadn't posted now I would have gone back to taking it for granted and not thought about it again.

Pffft. I wore plaid flannel shirts and a CPO jacket in the 70s and 80s, when they were still totally uncool. Just ordered a flannel shirt from Duluth Trading Co., because it looked like a great thing to wear when working in the yard or out at the boarding stable.

I want everything at that store! :) Never heard of it before, but it's now in my shopping bookmarks.

Agreed.

Avicenna,
Sorry but you are wrong on one point. Dawkins has in fact been elected as the new atheist pope. Upon the death of the former atheist pope (Christopher Hitchens) a secretive MRA-conclave was held within the confines of the pit to elect their new leader. Once they had settled on Dawkins, they released a photoshopped picture of white smoke billowing out of Professor Myers’ backside.

Now they treat every Dawkins utterance and tweet as if were an atheist-papal bull, and they fawn all over him just to get the chance to reach out and touch his robes as he ushers past.

In all seriousness, we have heard rumors about the most loyal Dawkinsian pitters having regular Google-handouts where they have readings from The God Delusion and sermons delivered by ordained atheists priests like Mykeru.

19 years in prison. Conviction waved two years after the victim recants and says she made it all up. The part I found the most horrifying, "Prosecutors argued that Rush may be recanting because she disagreed with the length of Brock's sentence. The judge rejected that, noting that Rush didn't even know Brock was still in prison when she came forward in 2012."

She puts him in prison and did not even pay close enough attention to know he was still in? If I was going to fuck someone over that bad, I would be very very familiar with his exit date.

One example I saw earlier this evening was comparing criticism of an inappropriate for work shirt – to blaming victims of rape for their clothing choices. What the flying fuck is this bullshit?

Yeah, I have a friend who was supporting that line of bullshit, too. Worst part is she’s a woman in STEM. She’s also very good friends with one of the more odious characters on the internet. And…I don’t know how to approach this issue at all, because in all other respects she’s a highly likeable person. I really want to smack her and shout, “I’m glad you’re a Cool Girl allowed in the boys’ clubhouse, but what the fuck is wrong with you?”

And I hate to say that I’m kind of afraid of my friend turning on me if I point out to her the problems with her stance on this issue. She hasn’t in the previous 15 years shown any indication of being the sort to go off rabid, but I’m starting to distance myself from her. I judge a person by the company they keep, and some of her pals are shitbags.

“I judge a person by the company they keep”
Well, Paul Zachary and the Pharyngulanhas keep company with this person, should be Okay then...

Speaking of Cosby, there's an article on CNN about 'Rape Culture' being to blame.

http://edition.cnn.com/2014/11/20/opini ... ?hpt=hp_c3

I'd say that it's celebrity culture, mixed with a degree of benevolent racism that is one of the underlying issues in this case.

For those that don't know, Cosby has been accused of being a serial sexual assaulter for years. In his case multiple women have claimed that he used drugs to knock them unconscious before assaulting them.
This has been known for years - it's not a recent allegation.

The writer of this article (which is not entirely bad - although a lot of it IS bad) tries to shoehorn the entire issue into the standard rape culture argument - that it's the fault of patriarchy. Apparently nobody listened to the womens complaints, it was only when a male comedian brought it up in a comedy routine recently that it has come to light - which is bullshit, there have been many articles written by both men and women over the past decade of so, about allegations on Cosby's part.

You could make the argument that feminists promotion of the idea of sexual assault being treated lightly provides the opportunity for the media to finally take the issue seriously, but you also would have to admit that the media goes lightly on celebrities who are subject to these kind of allegations.
Would a non celeb have been treated the same way? I doubt it.

If Cosby is the most high profile individual accused of these crimes, can we ask why the usual crew - FTB, Skepchick, Marcotte etc, avoided the Cosby question (which, to me, appears a much more tighter case - the allegations usually involved him giving drugs that knocked the woman unconscious, rather than the standard drunken sex issues) in favor of cases that are much more ambiguous and without any hope of proof either way?
