    Where did it come from?
    It was with my grandmother's jewelry from the 1950's. So I'm pretty sure it's not drug paraphernalia. (This was the sedate grandmother, not the wild one.)

    Anyway, it's mine now, I love it, I just don't know what it is.

    Don't you just attach the fat part to a belt loop and put your keys on the chain?
    This is a maybe. I'll try it out when I get home.

    Take it to a pawn shop maybe? Unless there's an antiques roadshow coming to Baltimore...

    I work in grocery. I have not gotten sick. My fellow employees have not gotten sick. If the virus were even remotely as contagious as its being presented as, why haven’t entire store staffs who come into contact with hundreds of people per day, thousands per week, all falling ill in mass nationwide?

    I find scenesters attractive.
    Physically they're usually pretty great, but are you referring personality-wise as well? Because that's a whole 'nother ballpark. Also, both guys and girls?

    Apparently Tom Morello (Guitarist of Rage Against the Machine) has not just heard of the geek news website I write for but has been to it a couple of times. That's pretty wacky.

    He's been talking to (and talked about by) a bunch of geek sites lately because of his new comic series from Dark Horse.

    I just received a phone call asking if I wanted to bring my small claims case to Judge Matthis. I might be on TV!

    Hah, I think I was chosen because Matthis films in Chicago and they won't have to pay to fly me out.

    Do they pay you an appearance fee? If so, good deal. Even if you "lose" you still get something out of it.

    Yeah, I get a $100 appearance fee and a hotel room/dinner the night before. If I win, the show pays me in full and the guy I'm suing owes NOTHING. Great deal for him.

    That's how all court shows ensure willing participants. It's a win-win if you don't mind getting yelled at or talked to like a child on national TV.

    Haha yeah, that's great. About Morello and Mathis. Lucky, I think you should tell Mathis your online username right away and how it means you are going to win. That will be sure to get you on his side right away.

    I've experienced that on occasion, but never for more than a few seconds at a time. And the bouts are few and far between. Yeah, it's a weird feeling. Neurological shit and all.

    I'm sick of this damn cold. I've spent the past four days wanting to just sleep all the time. And yet, I'm going out tonight anyways. No rest for the wicked and all that.

    The wind here today is disgusting. I almost got smacked in the face with a steel door on campus.

    Anyone here know much about cars?

    I've had the same little "quirk" in both of my recent vehicles - my current 2012 Ford Fiesta, and the 2005 Ford Escape I had before it.

    They both have km to empty gauges on them - a digital read-out showing (duh) the number of kilometers until the tank is empty.

    However something weird happens once in a while. It's either:

    a) when I've first started up the car

    or

    b) just after getting gas.


    So today I filled right up. My km to empty gauge said 738. While driving down a 10km stretch of highway, it went down to 684.

    Now, that's 10km. Obviously I didn't drive 50+ km in less than 10 minutes.


    Why does this happen? Does temperature somehow affect these readings? As in, is it not until the engine and the gas have warmed up that you get a more accurate km 'til empty reading?

    Or is the km to empty gauge pretty much just a roundabout answer, and shouldn't really be paid attention to?
    "All right, that's too hot. Anything we can do about that heat?"

    It's just a guesstimate, really, based on your current consumption and driving style. It's a bit like when you charge a laptop battery - the number you get right after is based on an idle machine which runs only basic processes, and as soon as you as much as just start a browser, it changes down. Cars also generally underestimate, so you don't actually run out of gas if you cut it close. When UK Top Gear team did an efficiency challenge, they found that their cars ran for up to 50 miles after "0km of fuel left" readout appears.
