Sounds like the op is on the mobile version? (on the mobile site the like check mark is at the top right of each post, instead of the bottom right like on the desktop version) You can't see likes listed at the bottom like you can with the full version. No gloating on the phone over the number of likes you have unfortunately, the only reason I come here to is to validate myself by measure of my likes.... Btw, Every time you like my posts you save a puppy from exploding, so please, save a puppy and like my post.

I've always had a delima when I hit that word, I also had an internal monologue that carried on after I hit it. Sometimes I'd go with show, sometimes with shoe. I really didn't know, but know I do. Thanks Vort!

So the male planet (men are from Mars) had water and the female one doesn't. Take that! http://www.buzzfeed.com/cynwhitehead/why-scientests-finding-water-on-mars-is-blatant-mi-1vsmg

I've always thought they (minor keys) sounded eerie not mournful. I've always 'em. That happy birthday sounds haunting. It's great.

Why have none of you started a satire site yet? Great material here. Great material.

Because internet

Oh boy. We just took on three kids, with our two of our own that makes one one year old nephew, two two year old's (one is a nephew, one is ours), a five year old (niece) and a six year old (ours). Last Sunday my wife was visiting her Sister and Brother-in-law (they would be the parents of these children, they are currently residing in special government *accommodations* awaiting a jury trial) so she was going to be a bit late to church. So I had these five kids and I thought I would try to do it myself. How bad could 30 minutes be? We get out of the van, I carry the one year old nephew, have the rest link hands and follow me, that goes well. We make it all the way into church and sit down. I'm quite proud of myself so far. Great. I hold the one year old nephew, two year old nephew sits by me, my two year old sits by nephew, older ones are sitting further down. Nephew begins loudly proclaiming he wants to play with a truck. Repeatedly. Won't stop. He's obsessed with cars to a fault and we aren't sure why. I'm trying to get him to be quite while the one year old nephew tries to wiggle out of my arms with all his might. My two year old see's I'm preoccupied and get's a big grin on his face and runs to the end of the aisle and begins playing peek-a-boo with people around us. Nephew see's the one year olds sippy and starts loudly proclaiming he wants a sippy and goes limp in his seat and tries as hard as he can to slip out of his chair repeatedly while constantly talking. One year old manages to slip out of my arms and crawls away really fast. My two year old is now dancing on a chair. The oldest two at least are trying to be good but they are giggling at the little ones. Two nice ladies saved me and took my two year old nephew and one year old nephew. Once my two year old saw I was free he quickly came back and sat in his chair. He's a bugger that one.

The link is what I'm talking about. Now now, just to clarify I don't disagree that caffeine can be a dangerous drug. But simply noting that there exists a gallon of it then talking about how it can kill 7 people is simply FUD. Fearmongering. After you get past the fearmongering they get to some more reasonable stuff, like the fact that it takes on average about 9k mg's of the stuff to overdose. Several of the examples of people od'ing are clear suicides. Look at the ridiculous amounts of caffeine being ingested by the people on their documented cases list. Those people are nuts. They even note that od'ing on Tylenol is more common than od'ing on caffeine.

Oh what a load of FUD! They show these massive bulk supplies and talk about how much caffeine is in them. It's not something you take straight. Drinking a gallon of liquid caffeine isn't a safety hazard, it's a Darwin award. It's something you dissolve in a drink. Like maybe you are Mormon and don't drink black or green tea but you still want a little kick out of your beverage.

Diesel doesn't really have a great rep here for some reason. I just know they tend to last a lot longer than gasoline engines. I don't know if that's just in huge semi's or smaller diesel engines as well. I could've sworn it's exhaust is almost as bad or worse than two stroke engines though....

Add me to the list of deeply unpleasant people then. Eowyn is on to something. This person has has deep down issues with geographyism.

What ever happened to hydrogen fuel cells. That was their whole deal wasn't it? Better range and quick replenishment?

From what I gather 25% is pretty good.

I can see when feathers have been sufficiently ruffled. I didn't realize there were people who truly bought into negative stereotypes of Mormons from Utah (you see, that's politically correct to rearrange phrasing so it actually says the same thing but it's no longer offensive for some reason), at least not in sufficient number for this kind of tizzy. Utah does have a unique culture and you can celebrate that or you can get your panties in a bunch over it. Your choice.

Sounds appropriate, it is a rather bizarre thing after all to track your progress towards death.

I like to tease Utah Mormons but it's in lighthearted fun, I'm technically one of them by birth so they have to be good people. It's funny though, I get anxious in social situations, nothing extreme, I just don't do the small talk thing and it all gets awkward when people try to strike up a conversation right before elders quorum. I just have this mindset that I'm there for church I guess. Anyways, I want to find your ward and move into it. So no one tries to talk to me. It would be great. People are always trying to chat and I'm sitting there trying to fumble my way through a short exchange about the weather hoping the lessons starts soon so I can stop fumbling about the weather. It's also possible that your preconceived bias played into your experience. In my head I am imagining you sitting there like this: And wondering why no one will say hello.

I think that intellectualism is one of those virtues that can become a vice. By definition intellectualism means to purely use reason and logic to arrive at your conclusion. It doesn't mean someone who is really smart and likes to delve deeply into philosophy, theology, history, or archaeology. We have more than our fair share of intelligent people, philosophers, historians, archaeologists, and even a speckling of theologians. But here's the thing, we don't believe the path to Christ is through logic. It's a spiritual journey in which logic can and does play a part. In our spiritual journey I think it's a mark of pride to think we can logic everything out, no, we must rely on the spirit of God to reveal truth to us. We also don't use man's logic (theology) to determine our doctrine. We rely on our prophet to reveal it to us, and we study it out seeking the Lords help to know if it is true. You see, even the village idiot can hear God's voice whispering truth to him. I think that is much more beautiful than thinking that I, a lowly man, can puzzle out the kingdom of God using my own ability to reason. Vort has already echoed this but in Church we tend to stick to central basic messages of the Gospel. Perhaps if the spirit dictates there may be appropriate times to discuss these questions but for the most part, let's keep that basic. There are some online venues great for discussing such topics such as FAIR or FARMS (ymmv on opinions of these entities however). I think as you make friends individual conversation can be another venue for discussion.

I'm sure you've used a teaspoon, even a bicycle needs lubing on occasion. Some grease in a few spots. Slap some oil on the chain here and there. My bike is a 2009 Honda Rebel, those little 250cc bikes, the ones that are just barely legal to roll on a freeway. If I adjusted my driving I'm sure I could push it to 75 mpg, but alas, I drive that thing hard. I put it's little engine to hard work. It's currently sitting on a jack stand awaiting a new axle (hopefully here tomorrow). I actually am impressed a car is pushing near what motorcycles typically get. I wonder what they'd get if someone really pushed economic motorcycles as hard as they push in cars. I know a guy that drives a zero s. It's an electric motorcycle that get's near 250 cc performance but only has a battery and electric motors. Has decent range too. http://www.zeromotorcycles.com/zero-s/

My bike gets about 65 mpg, hehe.

My 6 year old knows how to dial 911 and his mom's cell phone. He learned a little before he went to kindergarten and we realized he needs to know at least one of our numbers by heart. My wife regrets it to this day because she can't go shopping without being called at least once by him haha.

I attached an image of the ones outside my building courtesy of Google maps street view. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4Q7rBKxVxISRGZ3WDRwMm81bTQ/view?usp=docslist_api

That wasn't as bad as a nutcase thread I ran into during my googling. Dude was convinced the three steeples placed on the ground meant the church was an abomination built in top of another church or something. He had a real case of self grandeur. Where I live all we have is the three steeples in the ground. It seems this is less common on older churches throughout Utah?

I'm just curious if there is any specific symbolism attached to them. I've never heard of there being any. They seem to always be placed at a road facing entrance that is never actually used by members. Sometimes I wonder if anyone even knows they are there.

Assuming they verify emails, you can't just sign emails up willy nilly. You'd need access to them. I doubt anyone would give second thought to using personal emails. I seriously doubt the site displays your email to other clients anyways and no one signs up for a service anticipating it to be cracked and their database dumped. Could the hackers have cracked high profile targets emails and signed them up? It's possible I guess. Scratch all of that, they didn't verify emails. Searching by email is worthless.

I wouldn't call it a crisis per say. Poetic justice? Maybe.
