No, you should be fine. Only the site you're searching at knows what you're searching for (which is why I suggest who.is or someplace similar that is not a registrar). The incidents like gwar3k1 were reffering to don't really happen anymore after ICANN got nosey into it. There is a chance someone could mine search engine data but one guy searching would be very insignificant.

This may be a stupid question but I have a wireless N router in my house and it works just great, but I allow my friend who lives next door to use my Internet and since I got the Wireless N my router doesnt even show up on his computer, I imagine it is because whatever wireless he has in his computer it is not N. He came over here and we plugged his old router (from before he was a cheap rear end in a top hat and got his Internet disconnected) into mine (ran a wire from one of the LAN ports on mine, into the main internet port on his) he can now pick up a signal from his router, but the Internet doesnt connect. I am sure there is something I have to do in order to make this work other than just plugging it in. Any ideas?

I seem to remember reading an A/T thread about a guy who worked as a repo man and had some interesting stories. Maybe it was an "tell me about your interesting jobs" thread or something, I dunno, but I vaguely remember a story about some white trash woman offering him sex to not repo her stuff. Does anyone know if this thread is still around or have a link to it? If it's in archives I may have to spring for it.

TheAngryDrunk posted:Do racehorses have any sense they're in a race? Kiinda. Horses aren't all that bright compared to some other animals humans pal around with, but they have an instinctual drive to run with a pack, and, in racehorses, an instinct to be at the head of that pack. They know when a jockey's on their back, and they know when they're in a situation that will lead to treats and nose rubs, but they usually aren't concerned with, like, the crowd cheering them on.

TheAngryDrunk posted:Either. How much do they comprehend what's going during a race? They have a desire to feel the sensation of having no horses ahead of them and many horses behind them, but no concept of that as "winning." It's just that being the leader of the pack is like being President of Horses for them. They find it... instinctually satisfying, the way eating or procreating might be. I think the key here is to realize horses have no concept of a "finish line." Wild horses will appear to be racing even though they have nowhere in particular to go. They'll just run like that until they get tired or distracted.

the posted:What category do I drill down to on Amazon.com to browse men's leather satchels/briefcases/etc.? Clothing/Men/Accessories/Wallets. Satchels and briefcases are in luggage, but you're probably better off doing a keyword search there. Edit: Durr... you didn't even ask for wallets. Well whatever. "Men's leather satchel" kicked up a lot of results.

Creepy Crawlers sounds like what you're talking about, but I don't think they were candy. They kind of looked like gummy candy, though, as I recall.

I feel the horrific pull of World of Warcraft once again. When I quit, I had through BC. I want Cata, but $40 (WotLK) + $40 (Cata) + $15 (monthly) = $95 is way too steep a price for my first month. Do I have any options besides "suck it up" or "don't play, you idiot"? (Is WotLK expected to drop in price with Cata's release? Are there any rumors of a discounted bundle?)

Anyone know of any good open mic night comedy clubs in Chicago? I'm looking for sort of well known hole in the wall places, but also not something that a ton of people know about and flock to. Kinda like the place that Louis CK always goes to on his show.

I may just shoot blanks, but I never pulled out and I never got her pregnant, and I do not think she was on the pill. So it is possible that humans cannot impregnate Shreks. But yes the sex is entirely possible.

kapalama posted:Sex is possible. I may just shoot blanks, but I never pulled out and I never got her pregnant, and I do not think she was on the pill. Ugh, I can't believe I'm answering this... I assume by Shreks you mean ogres from the Shrek movies? In a world where they exist, Ogres would have to be related to humans genetically. There's just too many obvious anatomical similarities, so they would also be primates. But just like you couldn't impregnate another species of ape, you could not impregnate an ogre. The physical dissimilarities point to enough genetic drift that our DNA would not pair properly.

Others have answered, but one of the bigger keys that no one ever mentions is that the colder the beverage, the less likely it is to foam heavily, especially if you're pouring it on ice. So toss those sodas in the fridge for a while and you'll notice a difference.

(Is WotLK expected to drop in price with Cata's release? Are there any rumors of a discounted bundle?) A week or so ago, there was a sale where WOW + TBC + WOTLK were going for 10 + 5 + 5 bucks, but I can't find it anymore and it seems to have expired. I would probably not expect a significant price drop, as unlike most other games the expansions are all still required. Blizzard always puts out new WoW bundles soon after each expansion, however.

The physical dissimilarities point to enough genetic drift that our DNA would not pair properly. I don't think this is correct. In the world where Shrek-type ogres exist, there are also donkey/dragon hybrids and I don't think we can reasonably assume that dragons and donkeys are genetically similar at all. So I think ogre/human hybrids are not out of the question.
