Which brand of Gels and hair spray does everyone use? I've got a Mohawk thing going on and never really had to spike my hair for any reason previously.

If you have "difficult hair" Murray's Pomade is a great product... it stays in your hair after you shower so you don't even need to use it every day!

Can anyone recommend anything in similar style to this:

?

Smooth Jazz-like?

Sunburns suck ass. I been using White Vinegar for pain and Aloe Gel to moisturize/heal. Anything else I should be doing? Day #3 and I can still barely stand for 5 minutes at a time. Ankle is crazy swollen but pain seems to be coming from muscle damage? idk.

Haven't tried it myself but Pinterest recommends using regular black tea bags, steeping them and then using the cold tea, or just patting your skin down with the still-wet chilled tea bags. Apparently something in the tannins helps take down burns.

Is it normal for FedEx peoples to want to meet somehwere so they can drop off a package?

I had missed a delivery this morning, and the gal calls me a little later wanting to meet at a random spot so she can give me the package. It was a package I had to sign for, and it was a 1st atempt. I guess instead of wanting to come back the next day and drop it off, it was easier to do it that way?

Seems sort of shady, but whatever.

FedEx is so much more of a pain than UPS, they won't leave stuff at the door, and don't try to knock or get into our building. I have had to pick stuff up at their warehouse because they wouldn't redeliver. We also got a soda stream shipped through them which requires a signature and I gave them a phone number so they could call us when they arrived. So yeah, probably just weirdo policies and the girl was trying to help you out :-/

Yoko Kanno often does jazz tracks, whether they be smooth or hard. Wolf's Rain and Sakamichi no Apollon are full of jazz music by/influenced by her as well.

Also this, lol

Not sure that's a gal

It is my experience that everyone who delivers packages/mail (USPS, FEDEX, UPS) is lazy as hell. Our postperson leaves us bitchy notes when they have to unbuckle their seatbelt to reach the mailbox (Because of the mountain of snow we get that adds 1-2 inches to the curb, cant snowblow it due to shape of curb), the package people (all three) just leave boxes laying wherever they feel like, and don't ring the doorbell or knock, even if signature is required (They just leave it anyway and fake the sig I guess).

**Kerberoz** · 2012-07-20 00:46

I have the opposite problem... mailman feels the need to ring the buzzer and wake me up for every damn $5 non-registered package, even though the building has a locking outer door and there's nearly zero crime... think he has Alzheimer's.

What exactly is a megabit? I hear like 20 Mbps for internet speed for example and idk how to see it. Like if you said 1 megabyte per second I'd be able to picture a download speed, but if you said 1 megabit per second, I have no way to scale it lol

**Apelila** · 2012-07-28 22:41

Megabit = 1024 bits.
8 bits in a kilobyte, so 1Mbps = 128 Kilobytes per second.
Every 10 Mbps is a little over 1 Megabyte per second.

**Cream Soda** · 2012-07-28 22:48

perfect, thanks

Fixed.

Just divide by 8 to get bytes from bits.

bah, wrong words are what i get for posting in between calls while trying to explain stupid things to hillbillies.

However, 10 Mbps = 1 Megabyte per second is correct. That's probably all he was looking for.
