Chocolate covered candy assortments, without a guide.

Somewhere in that box lay a candy with cranberries in it. I'm allergic (not deathly, just hives) to cranberries. Now i'm itchy and foggy from the benedryl

Still love that Monty Pythin bit tho (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy6uLfermPU)

Struck me that he didn't have as much experience in PR as he claimed. Anyone in PR in the last 10 years know you don't tempt fate by saying the Internet can't hurt you.

He has a culinary arts degree, somewhere between 5-10 actual clients, and 10 employees to his name. That is Ocean Marketting.
        ^ That second "t"? That designates his/the companie's twitter account followed almost entirely by bots.
This man is a joke who thought, "Hey, PR? Anyone can do that!" But he can't because he lacks just about everything necessary for a good PR.

NINJAEDIT: Lining the "^" up with the "t" proved more challenging than I anticipated.

Got Dead Space 2 for Christmas.  Yay.

My DVD drive doesn't work because my new video card takes up 3 power connectors and it was the least important thing at the time.  Not yay.

Got to find time to go by Radio Shack or something and find a splitter...

Arghhh!

I cannot. fucking. STAND the shitty pointer acceleration profile on the mac. These things are fucking impossible to fucking use. I don't want to have to fucking guess where my mouse pointer is going to be based on some slight difference in movement speed, assholes, I just want it to go where I point like on every other fucking machine I user.

I've actually found a way to disable it with certain mouses and trackpads, but not the one I'm using right now.

RAAAAAAGEEEE

I was watching an episode of that 'Storm Planets' thing on National Geographic. Damn it, people! Uranus and Neptune are not gas giants! They are fucking ice giants! There's a difference!

Lolnope.

[Frumple]

The funny thing, Darvi, is if you follow the link from that article to the one on Neptune (or Uranus), it specifically says they're called ice giants because of the composition of their atmosphere.

Mind you, all ice giants are gas giants, but not all gas giants are ice giants. From what wiki says, anyway.

[Darvi]

Exactly my point.

[Vorthon]

To me, there's a difference. Ice giants are, if you look at them, more or less an intermediate step between gas giants and superterrestrials. I call that a pretty big difference.

[Darvi]

A subset is still part of the set. Only because they are a more specific type of gas giants doesn't make them any less gas giant-y.

All ice giants are gas giants, but not all gas giants are ice giants.

[Darvi]

Exactly. Saying that they're not is like saying humans weren't primates.

(of course the other primates probably would probably take that as a compliment)

[fqllve]

Eh, NatGeo has never been kind to the specialists in the fields they cover. They tend to overlook competing theories and latch on to exciting but untested ideas, like most media science coverage. I wouldn't put too much worry into any single omission.

[Vorthon]

I stand by my argument! Gas giants should be defined as any planet with a massive enough atmosphere (Composed, of course, primarily of Hydrogen & Helium) to compress the innermost layers of hydrogen into a liquid-metallic state. As far I can gather, neither Uranus or Neptune are massive enough to do so. Therefore, they are not gas giants.

Edit: @ Fqllve: I know, but it still drives me up the wall. It's bad enough when sci-fi gets something blatantly wrong (As in inexcusably wrong. Like making the gas giants have accesible, solid surfaces. Of course, the really old sci-fi is exempt.), but when an educational program gets it wrong, it just hits my berserk button.

[Darvi]

Still shouldn't complain if a TV show doesn't represent your personal world-view instead of the official categorization.
