Is it true that if you pick your nose, your nosedrils will grow bigger? I've been told that this is particularly true if you do this a lot as a child?


is it true that your ears change shape if you wear headphones a lot, and that if you were tight sneakers, your feet will become more crooked?


is it true that if you have been overweight once, its next to impossible to get a fast burning metabolish again?

and is it true that you cant fight out your metabolish without going to the doctor?(i hate doctors!)

Heh, no. That's from personal experience. It's 'metabolism', btw.

No. And it's 'nostrils', by the way.

hey, quick windows 7 help, please.

my friend had helped me setup RC on my PC, and i guess something went wrong when installing, cause when booting up, it'd find 2 selections...the 2nd one would always fail, so you'd just press enter or leave it be for 30 seconds, it'd go right through to the OS. we setup 2 partitions knowing id have to wipe the smaller one with windows/program files when it was time to get 7 proper, which i dragged my nuts on and finally managed last week.

after formatting the smaller partition and installing windows...it still brings this screen up when booting. windows obviously isnt installed anywhere else (hence the failure), but i wish i knew how to get rid of this screen entirely. is this because both partitions are marked as "primary"? if so, how do i get the porn-drive other partition to be marked otherwise?

to push my luck: the living room PC on win 7 can see my room PC (on XP), girlfriend's laptop (Vista) and roomate's mac (OSX) but cant access the later 'cause i dont have a user account on his system or something, and we dont know how to set one up. anyone know how to do this, or why the win7 PC can see everybody, but none of the others find it on the network? shit's weird. thanks in advance here.

 

[Blackheim]

Windows Key -> Run... -> type: msconfig then press enter -> Click Boot tab -> If you see more than one boot record, delete the old one ... I think you should be able to distinguish between the old RC one and the new one.

 

[IrishNinja]

awesome, trying this soon - thanks man.
also, if anyone knows about getting macs and win7 to share over a network, id be eternally grateful.

Other way around for me. I wonder if this is one of those right brain/left brain things?

The yolk has about a fifth of the protein of the entire egg. And it has all the fat and cholesterol, and most of the calories.

Uh, it has about half the protein of the egg. The cholesterol in the egg won't really affect your blood cholesterol. I think the calories of a whole egg are about 65-80, and an egg white is close to 15 calories. The fat and all the vitamins and nutrients in the yolk are good for you. Keep it to a like one yolk per per 2-3 egg whites and you'll be good.

Here's my stupid question: is there anything you can do with the leftover egg yolks? Seems kind of wasteful to be throwing them out.

If you could un-boil them they'd be great for all those dumb ass cake recipes where you need to separate the yolk and white.

cook them and feed them to your dog. Dog's love egg yolks.

If i took a fully functioning intel i7 cpu back to 1985, would the scientists of that era be able to replicate it now that they have seen it? Or would the technology be far too advanced for them to begin to understand how it works?

It's not.It's a mugshot of a random guy.

I think I was wrong about a fifth, but it's certainly not half. But yeah, either way, one yolk to three eggs is good.

I'm looking for a specific album.

iirc, the cover had an indian man sitting down in a suit and the title had the words Leonard Cohen in it, but it wasn't a Leonard Cohen album.

They're the same book. One seems to be a newer edition coinciding with the movie.

This probably isn't it, but it's my best guess:

Beck's collaboratory cover album Songs of Leonard Cohen?

I'm looking to get my mom a lower-end laptop (not a netbook) for internet browsing, music listening, word processing, etc.

What brands should I be looking at? I'm inclined to go with Dell, but I may be missing the mark. Obviously, I need a computer that will have the least amount of problems for my technically challenged mom. Any tips?

Dunno how much you're looking to spend, but I'm currently using this laptop and I've had zero issues. My mom recently got one very similar after seeing mine. She uses it for Skype and eBay/etsie(home business type stuff) and some website creation. She's not very tech-minded but has figured out most of it with relative ease. Windows 7 is pretty user friendly.

 

[theJwac]

I'm looking for a video I last saw on the net in the fall of 2000. It consisted of scenes from the original Star Wars dubbed over humorously. The scene which really had me laughing involved a Lando Calrissian talking to that disgusting looking co-pilot with the wet lips in Return of the Jedi. The nasty-looking alien says in subtitles, "Did you tell them about your genital warts?" and Lando Calrissian's dubbed over voice "Damn fool, keep that shit on the DL, n*ggas is right behind us!".

Anyone seen this?

If over the air TV is digital signal now, why isn't it all or nothing? You get different channels depending on where you point your antenna and how strong or weak your signal is. This is exactly how regular analog tv worked, no?

its a hole where piss and blood comes from once a month

LOL

Different holes.

 

[GloveSlap]

You are bleeding badly from a wound. They usually say that you should put pressure on a towel over the wound. Wouldn't it be better to put saran wrap or a plastic bag over it to seal the wound until help arrives. Seems like you would lose much less blood that way.

 

[ch0mp]

Much more likely to cause an infection I'd say. (from sweating, bacteria)

dude, im sorry, but anyone who can do home business stuff, let alone website creation, is above average than the average parent. hell, even when it comes to ebay.


edit: and about the saran wrap question, this makes sense to me too. anyone wanna expand on chump's answer?

I'm sure it's all based on some old timey ignorance, but how did we start referring to Native Americans as "Indians"?

They ain't from India.

 

[sykoex]

They ain't from India.

Christopher Columbus was hoping to sail around the world and reach India, instead of having to travel around Africa. When he hit America, he thought they had reached India, hence Indians.

 

[itxaka]

I'm sure it's all based on some old timey ignorance, but how did we start referring to Native Americans as "Indians"?

They ain't from India.

When Colon discovered America, he thought he arrived at India, as they didn't know there was a continent there.

So I guess they start calling natives Indians and it got stuck.



My question:
Having a coffe with more or less milk has any effect on how the caffeine affects you?

I know it sounds stupid, as if there is X caffeine is gonna still be there, but I believe it to be like a placebo, so I better check if there is any chemical possibility of the milk affecting the caffeine or something.

 

[Snuggles]

Well, 75% coffee and 25% milk should have a higher amount of caffeine compared to a 50% coffee and 50% milk drink if they're both 16oz (for example).

The amount of milk doesn't really matter, just the amount of coffee and the caffeine it contains

OK guys gonna ask about a pic I'm looking for.

Can anyone post the pic or a link to the pic of this cute blond chick in the back of a car with some friends, with her legs spread open and her pointing to her crotch? Don't worry she's wearing shorts and there is no nudity. But it's kind of suggestive. She also makes this kinda surprised goofy looking expression while doing so.

I saw this pic a long time ago in a thread here on GAF and thought she was pretty hot but can't find the pic anywhere and don't remember which thread it was in.

Can anyone help me out?

What is the best (free or torrentable) program for making high quality .gifs? I want to make some good looking gaming ones with my HD-PVR.
