Is it possible to tell my wife, "yeah I'm going on a road trip to the middle of nowhere by myself this weekend because I'm sick of people" and not have her feel offended

Everyone needs a little me time... you know?
 
So I created a recipe that calls for 2 wt oz of lemon zest. How many lemons will I need? I'm guessing half a dozen. I guess if that's too many, then life has given me lemons and I might as well just make some lemonade out of em.

Not everyone is a 'free spirit' like us.
 
What handheld is that ?

Holy crap, you have a lot of posts. That's not looking good for my chances at becoming a regular "member".
Sometimes having the Junior Member tag means a mod took away part of your posting privileges, meaning you can't post new threads, only reply on them (this usually happens when you make 1 or more really shitty threads). When you see a member with more than the required amount of posts but still being a junior, that's the case.

blame space, here's the probable reason: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=363433

Annihilator, if you get to 200 posts and you're still a junior, don't fret, I'm under the impression that the minimum posts required number was raised some time ago (maybe to 300) and the FAQ was not updated.
 
Hey guys, great to be here. This is a fine idea for a thread, so thanks for making it! :D

Got a problem with the aux input on the face unit of my car stereo. It sucks because that's how I have my ipod hooked up and it has become very touchy. Just got a new wire and the ipod is fine w/ earphones, so I've ruled those out as the source of the issue. Sometimes I get half sound, sometimes I get none...I can get it to connect just right by moving the wire slightly or turning the connector in the input a bit. Is this fixable in any way or should I just look into replacing the whole system? Or should I try to find a replacement face unit? The system is a few years old and made by Sony (I know...).

Any help would be much appreciated. This is making my drives a much more unpleasant experience.

Cool, thanks for the info!

Why do I sneeze sometimes when I look into a bright light?

Allergies to light? Just kidding. I was just thinking of an episode of "House, M.D." Where it turns out that the patient is allergic to light (a rare condition, but every condition on House is rare).

This sounded familiar, so I did a quick Google search. Wikipedia to the rescue!
Photic sneeze reflex is a genetic autosomal dominant trait, which causes sneezing when exposed suddenly to bright light, possibly many times consecutively. It is also referred to as photic sneeze response, sun sneezing, photogenic sneezing, the photosternutatory reflex, being photo sensitive, ACHOO syndrome, and "Achooism," named after the sound made when sneezing, along with its related backronym Autosomal dominant Compelling Helio-Ophthalmic Outburst syndrome. The condition affects 18-35% of the human population.

The first mention of the phenomenon is probably in the later work attributed to Aristotle (Problems, book XXXIII).
 
why do jewish people always walk in the street on holidays when going to synagague. It is so freaking annoying, I've almost run them over so many times at night as I turn a corner and their walking in the street. Is it to show the non jews they own the world or something? I've asked jewish people and they don't know or want to tell me.

They're commemorating the time when the Nazi Nuremberg laws attempted to restrict Jewish rights and freedoms, such as forcing them to only use certain roads or parts of a street.

I thought it was because certain interpretations count driving a car as "work", which Jews don't do on the Sabbath.
 
okay, so i want my desktop wall paper to be higher rez (1280x1024) but I dont want all my icons and everything else to shrink. Im accustomed to a much lower res so when i turn it up to adjust to wallpapers, all my fonts, icons, and graphics get really small.

Is there anything I can do? And how do I do it?

In Vista go to Control Panel -> Personalize -> Window Color and Appearance. From there it will show the various color schemes. Go to Advanced and it will let you tinker with a lot of specifics. You can choose "Icon" and change the size of the icon itself on the top, and the size of the fonts that go with it below it.

Wallpaper I wouldn't think would be a big deal; isn't stretching the image to fill the screen regardless of resolution the default? Anyway, go to where you change the background and that should be an option if that's not how it's currently set.

Why are signs in braile so tiny?

like the sign by an elevator, or on a door. how the hell is the blind person supposed to find them?
I guess so blind people can read stuff as discretely as possible.



You know what would be cool? If they made glasses for blind people that had a spycam embedded in it, and then have an ear piece in one ear, and whenever the camera detected text it would convert it with text-to-speech through the earpiece.

It's still 200. I should know, I just hit it not too long ago.

Usually a loose connection on the aux plug to the hardware. It happens all the time on phones and iPods when the plugs get flexed around in a pocket when sitting down or something.
 
Who's sprsk? I noticed he wrote a lot. if not all, the FAQ. Was he a mod who got demoted? Or someone who just really loves GAF and wanted to write the FAQ?

Also, who owns GAF? Or, whose the highest powered staff memeber?

Sp0rsk was a mod who got demoted for publically announcing his hatred of the new GAF layout (by m0dus) I think, which is kind of funny because we still haven't seen anything of the new layout. I remember he said it looked like shit or something, then his next post was just "lol" and his name was in blue :(

Evilore pays for the servers, I think. He didn't always, but has for a long while. I think.
 
How come when I want to copy and paste something in Windows, and it looks like this:

blablablabla.html/[/quote]

and I want to only select:

blablablabla.html/[

for whatver reason, it ALWAYS selects the other '/'.

I friggin hate it!
 
anyone know the post on here where it started off as a normal story but ended up just turning into the fresh prince of bel-air lyrics?
 
What causes TV's to making a random popping/shifting weight noise, usually at night when you are trying to sleep. Im sure you have all heard the sound im talking about.

That always startles me! I assumed it was from the plastic contracting around the "seams" and areas with screws in it after expanding from the heat of being on.

He played the retarded boy who set fires. But later Jane figured out he wasn't really retarded; it was all an act.

Good question. How does that work exactly? When I first heard of it, I thought it was fake and porn directors used tricks or piss or something to make it look like an ejaculation. But is it real? How does it happen? Can any woman do it?
