00:19 rue_house Lola8088, Lolly8088 just woke
00:19 katsmeow-afk <blink>
00:19 Lolly8088 workin tomorow?
00:19 rue_house yea, half day
00:19 Lolly8088 oooh fun. :)
00:20 Lolly8088 Santa came today. :)
00:20 rue_house various emergencies
00:20 rue_house you told me on the phone
00:20 rue_house do you know what you got?
00:20 Lolly8088 I did! You should have seen lijah... his eyes just about popped out of his head
00:20 rue_house :) I'd love to have seen

00:21 rue_house sweet

00:22 katsmeow-afk Continental Resources, one of the companies that has committed to ship crude on TransCanada Corp's proposed Keystone XL pipeline, now says the controversial pipeline is no longer needed.
00:22 rue_house good
00:22 rue_house nobody, and I do mean nobody wanted their pipeline
00:23 katsmeow-afk To be sure, Continental's view on Keystone may have little or no effect on the line's prospects. Most of the crude that would move on Keystone XL - whose capacity would be 830,000 barrels per day - would originate in Canada.
00:23 katsmeow-afk Continental is one of a handful of U.S. producers to sign up to use the line.
00:23 katsmeow-afk Canadian crude is now heavily discounted versus U.S. crudes due to scarce transportation options to get more of it to end-users.
00:23 rue_house Lola8088, I forgot just how little of that coconut oil you need to do a pan
00:23 katsmeow-afk "a pan" ?

00:54 rue_house that would be less than a teaspoon

00:55 Lolly8088 ish
00:55 rue_house You have: 1cm3

01:00 tsmeow-afk thinks the sun has no bearing on "lighty
01:21 rue_house Lola8088, its to do with our abstract definition of time

04:55 katsmeow-afk in Milwaukee, for instance, the fair market rent for a two-bedroom apartment in 1997 was $585. By 2008, it had risen to $795—while monthly welfare payments did not rise at all, and minimum wage increases have not kept pace with inflation.
04:56 katsmeow-afk Nationally, between 1991 and 2011, the number of renter households dedicating less than one-third of their income to housing costs fell by about 15 percent, while the number dedicating more than 70 percent of their income to housing costs more than doubled, to 7.56 million.
05:15 katsmeow-afk In 2011, it was found that the ice detection system on the P-8 was defective due to the use of several counterfeit components. It is alleged that these substandard parts had been poorly refurbished and sold to P-8 subcontractor BAE Systems as new by a supplier in China.
