Sure, I guess. Probably my USB thingie in the car has about that or so, probably more.
TNP has more stored video/music stored in a secret vault than he or she can be bothered to watch or listen to in the coming lifetime, whatever that means.
I used to, and felt a bit guilty about it until we changed video streaming services and lost everything we'd accumulated up to then. I can't say I shed a tear, though. If I really wanted to watch it, I just watched it - or knew I could later find it on another platform.
TNP's opinion of Elon Musk has, uh, evolved in recent months.
Not really. Call me a sheeple, but I've never had a high opinion of Bezusk. Gates, yes, despite hearing decades of "M$ is teh suxxor," I've never had a problem with.
TNP is beyond frustrated trying to find a book on *m*z*n.com, or, by contrast, has been pleased.
Probably. I'm guessing "tea-sucking limey warmonger" is not a real answer. Off the top of my head, (i) part of his skill and reputation as an orator and as a generally witty maker of ripostes is due to his having coped with some speech impediments in life (ii) he did indeed drink quite a bit (iii) despite his insinuations to the contrary, he was not an especially good student at classical Latin, to speak nothing of his barely-existent skills at Attic Greek.
TNP enjoys these "hoodie" sweatshirts the people are wearing nowadays quite a bit, for one's own sartorial use.
True on both, although it has warmed up quite a bit today, and is supposed to be even milder tomorrow. On the other hand, a good friend is stranded in Buffalo.
I've only been once, in 1987, but yes, I certainly do. Friendly people, great weather, beautiful beaches, mountains, jungle, etc. Had a fascinating visit to Pearl Harbor, including to the sunken USS Arizona memorial.
I think the movie adaptation of the Civil War novel Cold Mountain, with Jude Law and Nicole Kidman, probably fits the bill. Both were pretty good, I thought.
No I have not. I've heard of it, probably! The title reminds me of a vitamin enriched facial cream. And I know the actors named above.
TNP finds it ridiculous that a mobile taco truck uses as an audible cue to get workers to come running "Dixie." As in, "Oh I wish were in the land of cotton": some kind of cultural mismatch, and yet, kids come running when the taco truck gets around!
For bonus TNP points, TNP has mocked the use of that tune to various coworkers. As in, for example, "Ah, yes, nothing like the antebellum song of the south to rouse the troops to action," or whatever.
No, but I just might be tempted to. On the other hand, Lincoln said it was one of his favorite songs, joked that it was a lawful prize of war and even asked a band to play it at the White House after Lee's surrender at Appomattox.
TNP, having now seen the trailer, will probably watch the movie in the next 90 days:
Well, yeah! Who wouldn't, really? First you ask the questions, then you get the money, then you get the power!
TNP's audio systems at home tend to the more baroque (more possibilities for switching sources and outputs, for example) than the "set it and forget it" all-in-one type rig.
Hmm, I guess so. I often listen to a CD player in the kitchen or living room, or my iPod if I'm moving around the house. When I'm in our home office, I'm almost always using YouTube as a jukebox (usually classical music or light jazz) on my computer.
Not by a long shot, and I suspect EH is not either.
TNP has ever really got up in the .... cracks .... of an employer by clearly stating one's requirements and demands for one's rôle in employment. Sort of a hail Mary attempt to force action by HR and senior mgmt.
No, although I do very vividly recall what they taste like. Here's to temperance, now and forever! Shall we gather at the river....blah blah blah.
TNP sometimes goes weeks without drinking any alcohol whatsoever (not including trace amounts that might be present in some fruit juices, and other foods, &c.).
No...there are some I enjoy. Mostly for the non-tooth-staining properties. Not my first choice, though, when given the option of a somewhat thick and meaty red.
TNP thinks owning and using a WaterPik (on one's gums) would be pretty neat.
Nah. I've been slacking lately, but I get in there, to the extent that floss can only reach about 1mm (maybe 2) beneath the gum line, at least a handful of times a week. I crave the deep, stimulating penetration of a WaterPik!
TNP would totally wear an aviator watch (with solar power, radio-sync to atomic time, slide rule bezel, analog and digital time displays (as well as chronograph/stop watches for each), in addition to a separate indicator for UTC/GMT/Zulu time, such as this one:
All of them! The Citizen Promaster Skyhawk A-T is an example of a watch which performs all the functions listed. But my model has arrived two days ago and is sitting happily on my wrist now, so I am no longer curious about the watches of mere mortals!
Fine.
TNP thinks that the art of producing a non-dilute sample during observed urine tests can be mastered by a combination of drugs, some behavioral modifications, and a relatively precise intake of water over a prescribed interval in the immediate pre-test period.
Eh....not really "nice," I guess. This gal I used to know a few years ago still has, AFAIK, one of my Flexfit black caps....that was one that really fit, and I liked it. It's difficult to get a ballcap to fit the 7'3/4" melon, but I try. Yes, I have some other black Flexfits, but I don't wear too many ballcaps...because eez deefeecult.
(No, dammit, EH! I was saying there's probably a way to overcome paruresis or the simply hard or difficult process of pissing in a cup with one hand on the sample jar, and the other on the dick...not cheating the system. I have no doubt people try all kinds of stupid tricks, but for, I'd guess, most people, it takes some art and science to "perform" under stringent conditions.)
TNP is kind of not pleased with the process of buying new eyeglasses....crowded boutique stores, complete with obsequious but knowledgable opticians, down to online places that accept one's insurance down to...you name it
Yeah, it can be a pain. I've gotten good frames from Ben Silver in Charleston, S.C. Not cheap, but good-looking and durable. Some cool retro styles available, too.
Yes, I ought to do the dishes tonight and every night.
TNP thinks a good way to test a prospective CPA's acumen is, over a drink or two, even if it might be a Heineken 0.0, is to present about three or so gasoline receipts, with odometer mileage noted, a blank Moleskine notebook, pencil, and eraser, and see if she or her can show his or her work.
It may be that's also a good way to check a first-grader's arithmetic, but for the sake of argument, let's say a full grown accountant. No calculators or smartphones allowed except a slide rule, if it is built into the bezel of a wristwatch, say.
Yeah, what the hell, it might be worth a try. I've had the same accountants for years and they do good work, so I've never had to put 'em to the test like that.
TNP has had a piece o' cheesecake in the past month.
No, I ain't reckon I did have no piece of cheesecake no past month. Sure is mighty good, though!
TNP does not find it difficult to believe that NY State's Attorney General's office is a wretched hive of villainy....even without Elliot Spitzer hanging around the joint.
Understand the feeling, but we finally got about sixty deg F here today with blue skies. Won't last, but like Jim Bronson always said, "Hang in there!"
TNP doesn't feel the least bit bad about joking around with coworkers by putting on an exaggerated vocal mannerisms (such as a broad cartoon Foghorn Leghorn, or whatever) for laughs. While in private moments.
