An ignore feature might help prevent some of the threads with solid discussion from getting hijacked.  I realize I'm unpopular with you guys, and my opinion isn't very well respected, but I honestly get tired of all the personal attacks. 
Report problems to the moderator.  Decisions will proceed from there.

What this option would do (if implemented...):
Replace the text of the post by the following

"You are ignoring this user.  Show me the post"


and you could click on show me the post to reveal its contents.

:dunno:

As in ignore another user?  If so, just in that thread or in all of them?

You should see if your local library has mango access.  If they do, its a free online language learning tool (that you can use at home) that's supposed to be pretty damn good.

You can also buy ot for yourself, but why buy when you can get for free?

Bill Self is the best coach in the Big 12, and it's really not even close.  If Self wins a 2nd national title this year, he'll start being recognized as the best overall coach in the country.  
I guess it depends on how your define coach of the year.  If it's whose team who win the conference then its a no brainer.

Essentially Flyertalk / Re: Taco Bell Taco Question
« on: February 09, 2010, 02:02:21 PM »
i'm doing a little research so I'd like to have everyone's input, don't worry, this is completely anonymous. 

how many sauces do you put on each taco?  lately i've been putting +2 but not quite 3 hots on each taco.  seems to really spike up my afternoon tone after a 6 pack of almost-tripple hotted crunchy's.  is that too much?
 :confused:
what kind of sauce, pretty important detail IMO

exclusively fire for me 1 packet in the nacho sauce and half in my pintos and cheese

It's a very good scene, but I beg to differ:

Historically the pythagorean win perc formula (with tempo adjusted off and def efficiency) has proved pretty effective in the past.

It's down right deadly in baseball.

BYU top 10?  Good grief.
yeppers
Cornell is more deserving of top 10.

do your own top 25.  :rolleyes:




You do realize that BYU just got blown out by UNLV, right? 
Single game regular season outcomes, while important, are not the best indicator in college basketball of future success.




BYU's only decent wins are against UTEP and Arizona.  Also, how do you leave Gonzaga out of the top 25?
I, personally, don't leave anyone out.  I have no control over the index, just the algorithm.  Gonzaga is around 40th in my index.  I guess if my index means anything (which it may not) it means +40 teams would beat Gonzaga if they played at a neutral site tonight.

It seems likes these rankings get weirder by the week, not more stable.  Louisville and Clemson are pretty much wtfs, given how they're playing lately, and I have a hard time justifying Maryland or Missouri that high.  I think Pomeroy must be a Wal-Mart heir or something.
It simply comes down to the numbers.  This is not a poll based on accomplishments (no team "deserves" any ranking in this index), its based on potential.  Missouri's high ranking is an indicator that they are team that is a threat to beat anyone, same with Clemson and Louisville.  While they might not be living up to their potential, they have numbers that say they SHOULD be a better team than their record indicates and have the potential to be much better by the time the tournament comes around.  

Ah, so what you're saying is I should be nervous should K-State draw any of these teams in their bracket, even though some of them are looking like scrub NIT teams.  I could go along with that (except for Clemson -- they will tank.  They always do.).
pretty much you can think of these as the 25 most "dangerous" teams (but in all reality it gets pretty fuzzy after 20)

to be fair Clemson is tied for 24th with about five teams (including FSU fyi), they just happened to win more tiebreakers.

So, we have a new house but didn't have the basement finished.  Now wish we would have.  It's about 1k-1,250 sf with a rough in for a bathroom and daylight windows that would make for a comforming bedroom in one corner.  We want to put in the bedroom, a half bath, living area and MUD room with storage.  I have no idea how to do carpenter stuff.  What am I looking at to have this thing done?  How do I do it cheap?  :dunno:
I would do a simulation via The Sims first.  Better to be safe than sorry.
