If I thumbs-down a song on Pandora, does it interpret that as "I don't like that song" or as "that isn't what I want from this station"? I like Sympathy for the Devil, but the Rolling Stones don't really go with the 70's/80's punk/ska station I'm trying to listen to. Eyeball fucked around with this message at 05:47 on Mar 29, 2011 |

Encryptic, just call or stop by your local Nissan dealership and ask them about it. They should be able to tell you which locks, if any, require a special key, and which you can open with a regular key.RaoulDuke12 posted:I'm the kind of person that doesn't listen to an album more than 3-4 times... I was not aware that there was a kind of person like that. But there's still all kinds of stuff to do. Golf (regular or putt-putt), hiking, strip clubs, going to see live music, dancing classes, art classes, classes on anything you both have a mutual interest in, shooting, or just driving around aimlessly. Also, you can get drunk and/or high, either just to party, or in combination with any other activity on that list except driving around. People will say you shouldn't get hosed up and play with guns, but Hunter S. Thompson would say go for it. You like Hunter S. Thompson, right? He wouldn't steer you wrong. Or check out sites like groupon.com and livingsocial.com. You can get half-price coupons to do things it never would have occurred to you to do, or to go to restaurants you never would have gone to. Raoul Duke would get hosed up and drive around and shoot at poo poo that may or may not actually be there. I don't advocate driving under the influence, though, and you don't really need to leave your yard or apartment or whatever to get drunk and shoot guns.

RaoulDuke12 posted:I was just curious if there was some other big thing people do at night socially. In the 50's, I guess it would've been sitting in your car at a diner and loving around with your friends or going to a drag race in the aqueduct. The equivalent of that. People go to clubs or bars and they listen to music and drink and/or take drugs and possibly dance. Seriously, how do you not know about this? Or if you do a lot of poo poo during the day, you just stay in and unwind.

Cookie Kwan posted:Would it be bad etiquette to ask the girl next to me at work not to play her Christian music next to me or would I sound like an ogre? I have no problems with people playing music next to me, but I do have a problem with it when it is Hillsong. Makes me uncomfortable. In terms of manners, she shouldn't be playing music loud enough for others to hear without making sure it doesn't bother them. It seems like the real question is whether she would be offended if you ask her to turn her music off, which ultimately has nothing to do with etiquette. We can't answer that.

If you are supposed to get rid of it, and they didn't tell you specifically how to get rid of it, then get rid of it however you feel like. You could tell whoever gave you the task that it would cost X dollars for the recycling company to come pick it up, but you are going to save them money by taking care of it yourself. It's called taking initiative.

Fluffy Bunnies posted:So, why can't you use rit dye for your hair? I know nothing about rit dye except that it makes my clothes pretty. While dyeing something, that thought crossed my mind. So I'm kind of curious. "It's a different chemical you moron" is kinda obvious and I'd imagine if it took it'd be permanent, right? No? What makes you think you can't dye your hair with Rit? I'm pretty sure that's what people used to dye their hair non-natural colors before dyes specifically marketed as hair dye in those colors became widely available.

xcdude24 posted:I recently lost my mail key, and since there's no spare for it, they're going to have to call in a locksmith. Does anyone have a general idea as to how much this will cost? Depending on how your mailboxes are set up, you might be able to get the lock off and take it in to a locksmith, in which case, it won't be very expensive. But if they have to come to you, that usually costs a lot more.

Pootie, that kind of question is probably suited for its own thread, since you're looking for responses from multiple people about a fairly general topic. I went from living in a huge house with a bunch of dudes to living in a one-bedroom with a girl for a couple of years, and just today I got a note slipped under my door that the lease on my studio is coming to an end. To answer your questions, yeah pretty much, shelves, and this is why this is suitable for its own thread. Really, the only major lifestyle difference that I've noticed is that I'm way less cool with having a drunk friend crash on the couch. Also, if you're a messy person, it will be harder to keep clean and you can't just throw everything in your bedroom to make your living room suitable for company on short notice. I was pretty reluctant to even look at studios, but now I think if I move somewhere else, I will stick with studios unless I find a screamin' deal on a one-bedroom. I don't know how many studios you've seen, but check some out. There are a lot of different types of floor plans. I've seen a lot of studios that do sort of have bedrooms, just nothing that can be legally considered a bedroom.

Costco isn't like Walmart where they basically force manufacturers to reduce their quality in order to meet a price point. They have a lot of generic stuff, but their name brand stuff is legitimate. I'm sure that once it opens, you will have an opportunity to browse their inventory.

Thauros posted:My rear end in a top hat cat chewed through the power adaptor for my Seagate FreeAgent external hard drive. Can you show us a picture of the damage? It looks like you want something that puts out 12 volts DC at 2 amps. I could be wrong about the numbers, but the bottom line is you need something that will put out the correct amount of volts and amps and will connect to your drive. The first part is pretty trivial, but the second part can be tricky, depending on what you're working with. Can you show us a picture of the part that plugs into the drive? Worst comes to worst, you could get an adapter that puts out the right amount of juice and splice the old connector onto it.

Newf posted:Can I use a straightening iron to iron my clothes? I could see this maybe working for a tie, maybe, but it would be such a huge pain in the rear end for anything else. The amount of time it would take, even half-assing it would be loving ridiculous and a proper iron is not expensive at all. If you don't have an ironing board, that's pretty easy to work around, but there's not much you can substitute for an iron. If you have a cast-iron skillet or something, you might could use that. Just make sure the bottom of it is super clean, and it's still going to be pretty time consuming..

blaarghh posted:Why do my t-shirts/vests/tank tops twist in the wash? I buy them brand new and after one wash the side seams have moved around so one is at the front and another at the back, making the top look weird and lopsided when I wear it. Does anyone else get this, and is there a way of preventing it from happening or reversing it? What dryer setting do you dry them on? Cotton shrinks, and I guess it can happen unevenly. It seems weird that it's happening to all your t-shirts, though. Can you post a picture of exactly what you're talking about? Is it possible that your body is somehow lopsided? I find that when I'm wearing jeans, the left leg twists to the point where the inseam is resting above the tongue of my sneakers, but the right leg is exactly how it is supposed to be. It seriously happens with every single pair of jeans that I own, but not with any other kind of pants. I have been forced to accept the fact that the fault lies not with the trousers, but with myself. And I have a clothing-related question of my own. I wear a button-up shirt with a tie and slacks to work, but my job involves a fairly constant level of physical activity that most people wearing business attire don't really have to deal with. My shirt comes untucked constantly. Is there any solution to this that doesn't involve me shoving my hands down my pants every ten minutes?

I'm not really ready to go the suspenders route, although I have considered it. I don't think that my shirts are too short. They don't come completely untucked. But after a short time, it gets to a point where it's just kind of sloppy looking.
