Given the number of incompatible combinations of jokers, or jokers with boss blinds, it would be nice to have a way to disable a joker.

1. A joker that disables the joker to its right or left. This might be hard to justify taking up space, but might be a life saver.

2. A voucher that makes the leftmost or rightmost joker slot inactive. Also consumes a slot.

3. A spectral or tarot card (probably spectral) that makes the leftmost or rightmost joker slot inactive, or inactive until the end of the round. This would be most valuable if it only lasts the round.

It would need a lot of playing, but could be a way to get around a lot of bad combos.

I need blueprint to the left of cloud 9 before the last hand, and only got $4 out of it, with 4 9s in my deck.

Sounds like a bug. I didn't want to try it multiple times, because I could be doubling my mult.

We try really hard to be minimal impact, minimal waste. But I need a better way to make a cup of coffee without having to use a lot of water to wash out the grounds, which end up all over the place.

I'm using a one cup press, I'm thinking pour over with a paper filter might be the solution. I'm pretty new to regular coffee drinking, finally broke myself off of using sugar. (I used to say my favorite way to have coffee was Hagen Das).

I'm trying to beat purple with Magic deck, and generally I will restart if the first tag isn't a rare joker, free packs and cards or $25 to beat the boss.

Is this typical?

So both A Conventional Boy and Doctoriw's The Bezzle feature prisoners who play D&D. Given that they've collaborated before (Rapture of the Nerds), what are the chances it was a conversation the two of them had led to that plot point?

It's there any way to adjust how many steps per minute registers a heart point? I understand the standard is based on heart rate, but Fit estimates based on 100 steps per minute. I'm 6'7" and 100 steps per minute really doesn't happen, I've almost got to mince to do that and it's really not getting my heart rate faster than about 90 my-size steps.

Does anyone know of an alternate to the Thermador/Bosch 00415272 bulb for a range hood? It's a $37-$55 fluorescent, two of which are needed on my island range hood. I'd be most happy if I can get fluorescents out of my house, an LED would be preferred but a halogen would be acceptable.

1. if I'm not the one who opened the driver door, don't move the seat to my position

2. there needs to be a "tow mode" that doesn't get started by a trailer and flash the blind spot warnings every time I go around a curve

3. there should be a "don't destroy the engine" or "mild" mode to the cruise control, so that again, while towing, the engine doesn't rev so high going uphill. Put a max of maybe 4000, 4200 rpm, and if you are hitting that, back off the speed a bit.

4. fix the driver monitoring - we've been calling it the "don't chew your nails" warning because it goes off every time you touch your mouth, plus other times when we darn sure are paying attention to the road.

I'm thoroughly frustrated with Word's handling of languages:

• Word replaces things like caption labels with the local term only if the User Interface is set to that language. What if I'm most fluent in English but I'm editing some documents in Spanish? I can manually add other caption labels, but nothing is automatic like it is when you change the UI language.
• In VBA there are symbolic names for most built-in styles, e.g. wdStyleNormal... But not for Table Grid (style # -155)
• Automating the Insert Cross Reference dialog it's already fraught with peril (most of the parameters are read-only, to set them needs SendKeys, which only works on Windows), automating it when the language may cha

Is it possible to have a CustomUI file that modifies the Quick Access Toolbar to not only add things, but hide buttons such as AutoSave?

It works with the Options Customize Ribbon for all documents, but that needs to be imported by each user. Embedding into a template doesn't seem to allow hiding or moving standard items. I tried startFromScratch="true" and that didn't do anything.

Are there any Subie hackers out there that would be able to make something that could turn off auto shut-off, or turn on AVH, every time you start the car?

Has Glen ever covered anything by Aimee Mann, or vice versa? I saw both of them over the course of a week in Evanston IL (both shows run by SPACE but in different venues), and realized how much they have in common: acoustic guitar, melancholy songs, lots of science sprinkled into the lyrics.

Glen would do a great version of Rollercoasters and Ferris Wheels or Patient Zero; Aimee would be perfect for Train Wreck or Go or Criminal Career.

The biggest dropped opportunity, in my (and my wife's opinion) was not having a spinoff exploration show with G'kar and Lyta. It's set up in Season 5, I wish we'd gotten it.
