Looks like you have the older version of Google Maps, which is the problem.

No, you have the new beta version, which is the problem. On the right side of the new Google Maps under Help and Feedback, click 'Return to classic Google Maps'.

They are Oakley SI series then. I don't think any of them aren't polarized.


That's simply not the case. While some of them definitely say that, none of the semi-frame Oakleys that I've ever seen have any sort of writing on the lenses. I've got an older semi-framed SI ballistic pair, and the sunglass lenses are polarized (and say nothing) but the persimmon (awesome for low light in the brush), yellow, and clear lenses are not.

That's simply not the case, you can get plenty of Oakley SIs non-polarized. They have a separate section for the polarized versions.

I've never had any semi-frames, so that's my bad on that. I have a couple of pairs of Oakleys, and they all have it. Its easy enough to tell if they are polarized as someone pointed out earlier. If hooah wants to know if they are real, Oakley customer service can tell him that pretty quickly.

I keep getting weird pop up type things when I'm browsing SA using chrome on my mobile. It's mostly lovely annoying games and there's an ad for "game of war" that keeps loving sending me to the App Store. What the gently caress is going on?!

One occasional reccurring Loony Tunes segment was about a fox and a guard dog who would punch their time clock at the beginning of the day and then try to steal / defend a chicken coop, then at the end of the day they would punch out and go back to being friends. Does this segment have a name? I can't find any on youtube with any combination of loony tunes / warner bros / fox / guard dog / chicken. Just Foghorn Leghorn stuff which this emphatically wasn't.

I don't know what is on YouTube, but that is Ralph E. Wolf and Sam Sheepdog.

Actually, if someone makes unauthorized transactions with your debit card number, but your card is not lost, you are not liable for those transactions if you report them within 60 days of your statement being sent to you. If you lose the card and report it lost within two days, you are only responsible for $50 of the fraudulent charges. None of them if you report it stolen before any charges.

Yes, but it can take weeks for them to get the money back to you. That could leave you with a drained checking account and no money to pay bills with.

It's not exactly an issue of horrible, per se. Farts get caused from gas released by bacteria in your intestine. When you eat something your body has trouble breaking down and it gets there, these bacteria start reproducing and processing whatever it is and the gases are the by product is a fart. Obviously heavily processed foods can cause this, but perfectly natural foods that are good for you like beans and cabbage will also do the same.

Farts are also caused by swallowing air when you eat. According to this video I watched the other day, those airy farts make up a "large portion" of a person's overall gas.

This is the most ridiculous tripe I've read in a long time.

Farting all the time isn't normal and healthy. Dudebro believes it to be so. :colbert:

Wikipedia says the normal range is anywhere between a half liter and 1.5 liters per day spread across 8-20 "flatus episodes".

Also, he may want to be checked out by a doctor. Excessive gas caused by cheese consumption could be a sign of lactose intolerance.

Hang an old duvet or comforter or whatever other term you use for "large thick blanket" in front of it like you would a curtain. Try to keep it as close to the door as possible to minimize heat loss along the sides. Using regular thick curtains can also work, but they usually insulate less than a good old blanket can. Also it's significantly cheaper to dig an old blanket out of the closet or whatever then buying the new curtains.

Incidentally this also works great in summer as well, if your glass doors face in away where they let in a lot of direct or near direct sunlight, for keeping the room cooler.

And since you're hanging it like this, it's simple to pull the material aside if you want to go in or out.

This would look like rear end from the inside and outside. They make insulated curtains that do the same thing, you can get them at Target/Walmart for $10 a panel.

Because once you ever experience one extreme, you can never go back because you're so shocked and deadened? Is that why I drink until I puke every night, because I once got so drunk I threw up, so now I want that original rush of being lovely blackout drunk? And why, since I've done BDSM, I can no longer enjoy any intimacy that doesn't involve latex and spanking, because it's not a "rush"? Or are none of these actually happening, because you're drawing upon a made up, ignorant, puritanical view of human sexuality? :iiam:

Some pretty prominent sex experts would agree with the's train of thought. Dr. Drew being one of them. He's talked about the topic of pornography/desensitization on The Dr. Drew Show several times if you are interested.

The problems? I have to feed him. I have to NOT be watching over his shoulder every moment that he's online. I have a job, and I have my own need for "private time." I have my own computer so that I can browse porn and play violent video games (but usually not, because I like Peggle and CQ.) He's a person, with as much expectation (and right) to privacy as you or I have. If I don't trust him, I'll never be able to.

This teaches a child a terrible lesson. Let them have their privacy, teach them to respect yours. Give them their passwords (if they're old enough to have internet accounts) and let them lock their doors, and don't react badly when you find out anyway that they've been reading the anarchist cookbook and touching a boob.

I don't think the's suggestions are that out of line or archaic especially for the age group he is talking about. Kids between 8-14 don't need a PC with unfiltered access to the Internet in their bedroom where they are allowed to close and lock the door behind them. Privacy is something you give them when they are in the bathroom.

I'm in the process of buying a preowned car from a dealership. I have been emailing one of the salesmen, trying to get pricing info. I asked him if there was a downpayment required and how much it would be if there was one and he just asked if I was planning on putting any money down. What is the best way to respond without getting ripped off? I know it's a good car and what the car is worth but I'm not good at haggling. Any other car buying advice is appreciated.


Deal on the price of the vehicle itself before introducing any other element (down payment, trade in, paying with cash outright, etc). That's the advice my grandpa and dad taught me, and it seems to serve me well. Most dealers want to deal in terms of payment, and not the price of the car. They make more money that way. Negotiate a price for the vehicle, and have a set max you will pay before you go in. Be prepared to walk away. Also, spend $50-100 on getting the vehicle inspected by a third party before you sign anything. That could save you a ton of headache down the road.

The used car market has sucked since Cash for Clunkers and the overall economy has many people are hanging onto their paid off cars, so I've noticed that good used cars don't have as much wiggle room as they used to. YMMV.

Don't let them start in on you with financing and monthly payments and how much do you want your payment to be bullshit. Get your financing in order, get a cash price, and then ask them if they can beat the interest rate.

My watch is waterproof, so that if I got swimming or drown the watch should be fine, however it needs a new battery. If I replace it myself will it cease to be waterproof or should I take it to a jeweller? Roughly how much should I expect it cost for a jeweller to replace the battery and the magic waterproof seal?

Depending on the age of the watch, you might want to look into replacing the gasket when you replace the battery. It is probably not necessary though.
