Abandoned on Everest
10/12/10 09:56
I no longer want to summit everest.
1 in 10 people who attempt die. Often within shouting distance of help or camp.
and the only time their bodies come off the mountain is if the wind blows them down.
the paths are littered with the mummified remains.

If you read one NYTimes.com Op-Ed by Paul Krugman to understand GOP political posturing this year, make it this one.
If NYTimes asks you for a username/password, use the traditional username of “metafilter46” and the password of “metafilter”. Or simply find one that suits you on bugmenot.com.

The Budget Puzzle

The NYTimes made a flash-based budget calculator that lets you the reader solve the budget crisis. You can do so through any number of tax increases and spending cuts.
I will note that it is nearly impossible to solve to this budget crisis without reducing defense spending.
That, and taxing the wealthiest 2% of Americans at Clinton-era levels really goes a long way.

“Tonight you get a visit from the birth day skeleton!”
This is why I hate birthdays.
“Who’s to blame? Corn Sugar or Wedding Rings?”
Personally, I think that some women just grow into their boobs.
Also....someone really resentful trolled facebook for the “18” and “23” pics. Another good reason why I need to “tighten up” my friends list. Also, need to hit the gym. But whoever you are who gave us this picture, stay classy. You’re a beautiful human being.
“Nothing is sadder than trying to wank it to a cam girl while she’s crying”.
This is pure WTF. I don’t even...

Great blog post on how all the smartphones 4 years ago looked like Blakberries. After the iPhone, they all look like iPhones.
And now that the iPad is a netbook competitor, all the netbooks will no doubt look like iPads sometime soon. From Marco.org

Like it or not, the iPad is a game changer for consumers.

Comedian Michael Ian Black,
For context, read his blog post So, Last Night I Kind Of Lost My Shit
Here’s a hint: He’s very pro-Obama, and some idiot teabagger compared Obama to Hiter. Still a great quote however. Definitely words to live by.
"There was no reason to meet your idiocy with my own, even though you are a fucking moron.”
