  1. Found this at Goodwill today and refurbished it while watching Star Wars Ep. IV. This is a typical Saturday for me. twitter.com/bchroneos/stat…
  2. Judy found and almost ate a foil packet of leukotriene antagonists at some point recently. Anything that crinkles, I guess...
  3. @mattrisher @pointycollars @taestell @geekjames I use Chase and US Bank. Chase has a better iPhone app, US Bank has better banking features.
  4. @mattrisher @amandalee What are you trying to convey with the alternate word choice?
  5. @mattrisher Words get their meaning--or in this case, abrasiveness--from the context in which they're often used.
  6. @mattrisher …although "minority" is meant to address what percentage of a particular group holds positions of power and influence.
  7. @mattrisher "Minority" is also a heavily misused label, women are often classified as minorities despite being more 50.8% of the US pop...
  8. @mattrisher I've also known upper-income, middle-class folks and middle-income, upper-class folks, one has savings, the other has debt.
  9. @mattrisher Indeed, too often they're treated interchangeably. Class defines concerns and other demographic criteria, income is income.
  10. OH: "William Shatner's Canadian, right?" "No, he's Jewish."
  11. @evilensky That's a lot of gear, but you could get all of that for a better price. They aren't Canon lenses.
  12. @amandalee I want a central vacuum someday.
  13. @pointycollars I would love to see some of the graphs behind USPS and UPS logistics.
  14. @pointycollars Yep, just found it too.
  15. @pointycollars They have every reason to maximize efficiency, but Louisville is a major UPS hub, so it probably has something to do with it.
  16. @pointycollars I've heard of UPS shipments going from NYC to Louisville to Boston.
  17. Just had account access restored on a website, hadn't used it in years, email was @ athena.louisville.edu, so about 10 years…
  18. @aprilcore savelouisville.net
  19. @gumdrop923 I read a piece in the NYT last month saying the FDA is only just now going to require prescriptions for livestock antibiotics.
  20. @gumdrop923 Those are always a little strange yet amusing. It's like a quiz based on your credit history that should be an easy A.
