Back to top QDear 100 Hour Board, I have recently discovered Pandora's prediction of music is not all that accurate for my tastes. I have also discovered Graywhale is an awesome place to get great recommendations for new relatively unknown music. Do you know of any other website/place to find great ways to discover new music? - (Post-Pandora)
A(Post-Pandora)- Slacker.com is pretty good. - Cuddlefish ADear Post-Pandora, Last.fm and iTunes genius both have fabulous recommendation engines. Lala.com lacks a good recommendation engine, but you have access to tons of music to discover. I find a couple great albums a week through spinner.com's online listening party. And if all those fail, try friends. Love, Waldorf and Sauron ADear Post, Liveplasma.com is also pretty cool, but somewhat limited. Check out the "music we like" under Amoeba Music's "music" category. -Whistler Back to top QDear 100 Hour Board, I don't have pierced ears and would like to get them pierced by someone in the Provo area. No offense to 16-year-old girls who work at teenage jewelry stores like Claire's and Icing, but I've heard a few stories of people having negative experiences getting their ears pierced at stores like that (infections from unsterilized equipment, uneven punctures, etc.) and want to get them done a little more "professionally." I've searched and searched but I can't find any other options. Are mall jewelry stores really the only places to go? Thanks you guys are awesome.
ADear Cautious Would-Be Piercee, Although mall piercings are usually safe, you're right to be cautious. Now that I've considered and researched your question, I'm more than a little creeped out that my mother payed a high school student to punch holes in my body; with all the potential for error in the procedure, it's a wonder there aren't more horror stories out there. Your safest bet would be to get your ears pierced at a doctor's office - apparently this is quite commonly done. If I were you, I would ask your doctor whether or not he or she does ear piercing. Even if your doctor doesn't pierce ears, he or she can give you some sound recommendations for a safe piercing experience. ~Hermia ADear, I got mine pierced, not even in Claire's, but in one of those little middle-of-the-road kiosks in the mall. Though not worried about teens punching holes in me, my mother did care about the evenness of the punctures. They argued and redrew little dots on my earlobes until I was so embarrassed I just wanted to go home and forget about the whole thing. But today, I'm glad I have very even ear piercings, in a non-awkward location. So, you have at least a little control over that. -Uffish Thought Back to top QDear 100 Hour Board, What is the protocol one should follow around General Authorities? - (Chambesy)
ADear Chambesy, I asked a source who I felt could answer your question, and here's what they said: Act dignified; address them by their proper titles, i.e., "President" or "Elder." Don't ask doctrinal questions, or any questions, for that matter, unless it's something essential (such as "May I hang up your coat for you?").Sounds like good advice to me. —Laser Jock Back to top QDear 100 Hour Board, So the super flimsy plastic license plate brackets that go on the front of cars are annoying and fall off a lot, i was noticing mine starting to come off a little bit, being from a different state, is it legal to have only a rear plate in Utah? -Jack B Nimble
ADear Mr. Nimble, I called the Utah Department of Public Safety in regards to your question. I thought it would be fun to include our conversation, since I had just woken up and was quite disoriented. Anomalous: (Garbled attempt at English)* Receptionist: (Polite silence) Anomalous: (Deep breath)... Do people who are living in Utah but have their vehicle registered in another state need a front and rear license plate? Receptionist: Why are they living here? Anomalous: ... um... (crickets chirping)... college. Receptionist: I'll go check. Anomalous: (Hums Jeopardy theme and notices that she is wearing one yellow sock and one orange sock) Receptionist: No, they don't need one. Unless they're planning on staying. *Note to self: This was a BIG mistake. So unless you are planning on a permanent move to Utah, it looks like you are safe with only a rear plate. I, however, need to find my front plate... Oops, ⋯Anomalous Back to top QDear 100 Hour Board, How do typical Irish people look like? - Bodhran
ADear Bodhran, Like this. Every single one. - Rating Pending (who admits that one of those was an Irish setter, and therefore not really a person) ADear Bodhran, While there are a ton of redheads in Ireland, proportionally (ten percent, second only to Scotland (source)), there are quite a few with black hair, especially on the coast (source). One theory of this "black Irish" phenotype is that some Spaniards decided to live in Ireland when they lost to the British back in 1588. Along with black or red hair color, it seems that Irish people are known for their fair skin and eyes. I found some information on genetics, but I had trouble deciphering it...just enter "Irish genotype" into Google for some fun times (other topics of exploration: curly hair and sideburns). -Whistler |
