Kilograms are a measurement of mass.

Pounds are a measure of weight.

On Earth, mass and weight are pretty interchangeable, and most countries use the metric system and use kilograms instead of pounds. What do they say something weighs on the moon then, for instance? The mass would be the same, so it would still be the same number of kilograms.

Newtons are the metric unit for weight.

Sure, you see fritos are not capable of funyons the West coast of the United States of Wendy's. They're not advanced enough to snickers it that way.
 
Obvious Question: 'mom and pops' store refers to a stand alone independent retailer? Say the opposite to a games store chain like EB?

I've never seen it referenced anywhere else so would just like to clarify if my thoughts are correct or not :P Thanks.

Are there any common household items that I can use to discharge static build-up before touching my electronics? It's happen quite a bit these days and I don't want to chance screwing anything up.
 
How do people know what theyre allergic to?
Do they munch down on a peanut butter sandwich and then figure it out after almost dying?

I knew a person who was allergic to a certain red dye(used in food too). Yeah, basically he stayed away from anything red. That mustve been a hard diagnosis for the doctor Id imagine...

There's a medical test that can be done. It involves holding out one's arm while the doctor lightly dabs it with common allergens to see which ones cause inflammation.
 
A question about language, a colleague of mine is leaving and we are making a movieposter for her with the following tagline :

''She's on the move, aching the necks of men who see her walking by''

I was wondering if this is the correct way to say that ?
How would you American/English people say this ?

Thanks in advance. :)

Suck it up.

Neti pot works for me, although you'll be leaking warm water for a while. Once it's all out, my nose is usually perfect.
 
I'm starting a business with a couple partners and we're making a game. We're looking for alpha testers and facebook fans before we launch in April. I want to announce it on the gaming side but am afraid it'll get buried in 15 minutes.

Suggestions for good first impressions? Wait until the game launches? I'm not trying to get anything viral going (since I'm being up front about my goals and everything), but if NeoGAF isn't the best market to test out game ideas, I can't imagine what would be. Thoughts?
 
I'm trying to remember this dance type song, I remember the music video was this woman carrying around a huge red heart around a city or something similar. Anyone know what song this is? It's not that old, a couple years ago maybe.

I'd just post it in gaming anyway. Even if it gets buried you'll at least get a few people interested in testing it.

Man if you guys can find this for me I would be incredibility grateful. Alright the other day I saw some guy wearing this head band like thing that was bigger than a sport sweat band and had crazy designs on it, And I immediately fell in love with it. Unfortunately I have no idea what these things are called nor any idea where I would find one, and google has not been helpful.

Again this thing was pretty big, at least forehead sized. And it had these pretty cool designs on it. I'd liken it to a kinda of cross between a headband and bandanna.

Sorry for my shitty description, but if you guys can figure out what it is I will never not Believe again.
 
I'm trying to remember this toy I had when I was a child in the early 80s. It was a plastic convertible car with the top down. There were three spring loaded plastic "blades" that swung out from it at the press of either of two buttons. One was parallel to the car and swung out from the front, while the other two were tied to the same button and swung out from the sides to rest perpendicularly to the car. There was also this weird platform on the back of the car that was connected to the spoiler, which sort of telescoped out the back, so that the platform was now a lever. You could place these round plastic things that were supposed to look like big circular saw blades into it, and when you slapped the extended spoiler, they flew backwards I think. I don't know if this toy corresponded to any toy line or cartoon, or if it was just some generic thing. From what I can remember, the car was a bit over a foot long, and since it was an open convertible, you could just drop some action figures into the seats, though I think the scale was too big to really make sense with 3.25" scale action figures.
 
If i want to re-rent a movie from PSN, but have an expired copy on my HDD already, do i need to download it again?
 
Well we have MS Office but it's an old version. My mother says it's a pain to use the current one we have to due to most employers not accepting the format of her resume and want it in 2007, or in general, when fixing up her resume.

How is the 2010 beta? How long can you use it for?

What about this Open Office? What is the difference between that and Office 2007?
 
Why do I get a stomach ache when I eat chicken (and a smaller one when I eat turkey), but I don't get one if I drink beer alongside it? I'm not drunk, and this started happening in my early teens. I used to be normal.

Here on GAF, how to I go about staking claim to make an official thread? (Junior status will be gone by the time the game rolls around)

Circle jerk. Whoever cums last gets to post it. It's the most efficient way.


Or just post before anybody else does. If they like it, they'll use it. If they don't, you'll be mocked and ridiculed and your thread closed.
Also, don't try to steal official thread making for things like wrestling, sports, and TV shows that are updated monthly. You will be killed.

make sure the chicken is dead before you eat it.

Don't. Just punch it in the head. The beak is the best part. It's beaky.

Nah, it's all the time. Whether I make it, get a roast chicken from the store, wings, chicken on pizza, anything. If I go to another city, another country, same deal. Only way to beat it back is the beer.

The common denominator of all those things is sauce. Does chicken bother you when there is no sauce? Eating small bites and eating slower?

If so, there could be a protein or fat in the fowl that your digestive enzymes can't manage. Best to ask the doc if white meats still don't digest if you've tried all your options.

Can't you just select a 2007 compatible file format in the save dialog?

Yes you can. When you click save as, under file-type select office 97-2003 (something like that) compatible format. Then basically any Office program can open it.
