Kathryn from Sunnyvale @844:
Yep, tried trazodone fairly early on. Made me dizzy for about 15 minutes, that was it. I'm seriously resistant.
Back in 1994 I got severe bronchitis as a result of dieting under a doctor's supervision (don't trust that d**n Body Mass Index thing; it can kill you). I eventually ended up in the ER not so much because of the bronchitis itself but because of a panic attack brought on by the congestion in my lungs. They gave me an injection that was supposed to knock me out within 5 minutes; I remained awake for about 26 hours afterward.
Ethan @834:
Hm. It takes 1/4 - 1/2 second for me to notice, but I assuredly do notice while it's happening.
Kathryn from Sunnyvale @826:
I don't even get groggy. Rather annoying sometimes; pretty much nothing will work to put me to sleep (for example, Ambien only makes me dizzy for a couple seconds, about 15 minutes after I take it).
Kathryn from Sunnyvale @807:
48 hours? I guess I know where I get it, then. (When my sleep cycle really goes out of sync, it tends to settle into a 38-hour cycle. No, I have no freaking clue why.)
Caroline @669:
Microsoft has such a plugin available for download, but was forbidden from shipping it with Word by Adobe, who threatened them with an IP lawsuit.
WIth respect to Adobe, this is called shooting oneself in the foot.
R. M. Koske @507:
Does your Safari have a Bookmarks.plist file? If so and if you can convert it to XML (if it's binary; see plutil) I have a couple of Perl scripts I used to recover a set of old bookmarks after SyncTogether ate them. They're very quick and dirty and I can't promise they'll work with older Safari, but if you have no other option they might help. The end result is a minimal bookmarks.html file.
(hm, ML doesn't like <tt>)
Tlönista @397 and Xopher @398:
At least one edition of The Lord of the Rings includes a foreword (or possibly an afterword) where JRRT essentially says "mea culpa" and explains that, as what we would today call an "embedded reporter", he was quite surrounded by jingoism.
Lin D @148:
Greetings from KF8NH!
abi @164:
...whereas I was watching it.
Linkmeister @165:
Spelling, surely?
Paula Lieberman @266:
Don't get me started on Faux News.
heresiarch @68:
Once or twice I have seen the capitalization technique used with Western names; I think it was a Japanese academic workshop or seminar.
Earl Cooley III @7:
"Bot-like searching detected"?
Xopher @26:
It's a sign! (which will make sense only to those who know some Hebrew)
Paula Lieberman @625:
Actually, Carnegie Mellon also does the buildings-joined-at-different floors thing... because they are. The building I work in has entrances on 5 different floors. It is, however, something of an extreme case even for Pittsburgh buildings. (The land in and around Pittsburgh is best described as "corrugated.")
General:
In re the whole race/gender card thing: I take a certain amount of pride in the fact that I literally did not understand either racism or sexism when I first ran into them. ("Wait, what are you complaining about? WTF?! you care about that?!)
I am deeply hopeful that that reaction is common in "kids these days".
Michael Weholt @506:
Tint controls don't always help: you'd be surprised how many people think the captain's tunic in the original Star Trek was gold. (It was in fact green.)
Many of us geeky types refer to the NTSC color broadcast system as "Never The Same Color" because of such peculiarities.
Lee @478:
I find myself torn between "you Get It" and "you're making darkness".
Suggested addition to the mini spelling reference: "Hemingway". (I should be less sensitive to misspellings....)
Okay, let's try part 3 now.

Hm. http://zesteasy.com and http://www.tigersandstrawberries.com both load fine here. zesteasy hasn't updated since early April, though. (T&.S updates almost daily.) I did forget to escape the ampersand in the title.
(having sent that, part 3 gets delayed even more — MT really doesn't like me tonight)
Yeh, second half of list still in moderation. Splitting again, since my last message that went into moderation came out after that thread was dead :/
