Scott Adams Blog: Confidence 01/04/2011
Ok, that’s it—I’ve never been able to register as a commenter to engage in discussion on Scott Adams’ blog (the registration page goes off into never-never land then reloads), so I’ll post it here.
This is bunk. Google “will power marshmallows” for a good example of will power as a real thing.
I think this is the last straw for me in terms of reading his blog—he just seems to decide things without any evidence or research and then post it. The humor vs. annoyance scale has tipped. Bye Scott—I used to love Dilbert…

52 Tiger » iPhone 4 PR
Why is idiots believing nonsense a serious PR problem? These are the same people who don’t think that they can listen to MP3s they rip on an iPod or that they can’t view PDFs on an iPad. My guess is that Apple doesn’t want these bozos as customers. Apple is not about market share, it’s about profit and I’m pretty sure they’re doing fine in that dept. Let these people believe whatever claptrap they want to.

Mr. Burns: Ah, my beloved plant. How I miss her…Bah! To Hell with this! Get my razors! Draw a bath! Get these Kleenex boxes off my feet!
Smithers: Certainly, sir. And, uh, the jars of urine?
Mr. Burns: Oh, we’ll hang onto those.

Mojitos
- 1 bottle Havana Club 3 Anejo (Bacardi white rum is a fair substitute for Havana Club if you’re not in Cuba)
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup fresh lime juice
- 1.5 cups mint stems with some leaves (just get whatever they have at the grocery store that smells the strongest e.g. spearmint).
Mash the cup and a half of mint stems and leaves with the sugar using a mortar and pestle (machines grind it up too much, and turn the mixture a weird green color). The stems are the most important part. The sugar will liquify.
Pour the sugar-mint mash together with the lime juice and rum into a non-metallic container to rest for 2-4 hours.
Strain the mixture into bottles to store in the freezer. The mix is at its best for about a week (I think it’s better after a few days in the freezer), but will be very good for a long time.
To serve, use a tall glass. Add two jiggers of the pre-made mojito mix, crushed ice, and top off with sparkling water and a sprig of mint. You don’t need to put so many mint leaves in that it looks like algae. :-(
Be sure you use plain bubbly water, not the stuff with salt or sugar in it, i.e. seltzer water. The ingredients will say, “carbonated water.” ”Soda” water has stuff in it other than water and bubbles.

BlazingShark: “why is she dressed prostitution style today - where was she this AM?” 2:06 PM Jan 13th from web
boxspring: @BlazingShark Does In’N’Out have “prostitution style” as one of their “secret” menu items? They should. 2:28 PM Jan 13th from TwitterFon in reply to BlazingShark
docstrange: @boxspring Ok, I’ll bite: what would it be? 2:31 PM Jan 13th from web in reply to boxspring
bentoboxx: @boxspring Yeah, Its a way overpriced meat patty that just sits there 2:29 PM Jan 13th from web in reply to boxspring
boxspring: @docstrange @bentoboxx I’d go with “looks good, but completely fucking random meat: could be filet mignon, could have broken glass in it.” 2:40 PM Jan 13th from TwitterFon in reply to docstrange
boxspring: @docstrange OR: the burger is delivered-before you can get it out of the wrapper delivery guy beats you up, takes all your $ & the burger. 3:26 PM Jan 13th from TwitterFon in reply to docstrange
docstrange: @boxspring I like the second option, it’s low fat and makes a good anecdote. 3:30 PM Jan 13th from web in reply to boxspring
boxspring: @docstrange Albeit an anecdote that “happened to someone I know.” :-) 4:41 PM Jan 13th from TwitterFon in reply to docstrange

Come on Lisa, monkeys!
So I mentioned this really interesting article about sex research to my ex and this inspired her to Google a lot of “animals mating” videos. As usual, I phrased my response in the form of a Simpsons’ quote:
Lisa Simpson: Hey look. There’s a cyber cafe opening right here in Springfield. Will you take me dad? Please! I’ll show you how to order pizza over the internet.
Homer Simpson: The internet? Is that thing still around?
Bart Simpson: I know a website that shows monkeys doing it.
Lisa Simpson: Bart, the internet is more than a global pornography network, it’s a…
[Homer honks his car horn]
Homer Simpson: Come on Lisa, monkeys!
[Lisa groans]
