Talk:Psi ball

message: 4/30/24
I've created a Psi Ball unintentionally while just forming my left hand into a claw-shape, I was driving and listening to music. I had been for hours and this happened with no intention of doing so. It was a white ball that remained in the palm of my hand until I broke that shape 
 Don't know who wrote this below, not me. But not gonna delete it because that's them.

Talk:Cat Butt

message: This article was speedy deleted on January 27 after having been listed. The reason noted in the edit history is: db-band - article states that only one full-length album has been released. This doesn't meet WP:BAND which looks for two.. I restored it on the basis that WP:BAND is a guideline only, and not in itself a speedy delete criteria. Notability is asserted in the article through the discography and Although not achieving the success of other Sub Pop bands, they maintained a loyal cult following in the Pacific Northwest.

thread_title:  UK usage? 

message: *I remember from long ago this explanation: Some sea fishermen complained about the low prices they were getting for the fish that they caught. This threatened to grow and spread into a big complaint movement, so a Government man went to the place to allay men's feelings with a long carefully-written speech. But one of the fishermen noticed that the speech evaded the topic, and interrupted: "And what's all that to do with the price of fish?". Anthony Appleyard (talk) 11:01, 20 January 2009 (UTC)

thread_title:  Pinky and the Brain! 

message: The phrase: "What's that have to do with the price of tea in China?" should probably be exorcised from our lexicon for the following reason – I always found it humorous that the “price of tea in China” was relative to the price of tea throughout the British Empire; given the fact that the shipping costs were highly subsidized through the opium trade in China! If someone is making a case, don’t dismiss it out-of-hand…there may be something you’ve overlooked!  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.205.128.47 (talk) 03:56, 4 October 2013 (UTC)

Talk:Chendol

message: For me, cendol is the the green 'worms' and the gula Melaka and coconut milk syrup. Everything else is an optional extra. This is supported by a number of recipes, for example the Star's kuali page http://kuali.com/recipes/viewrecipe.asp?r=832 and a book I have by PeriPlus "Malaysian hawker food" neither of which mention red beans. Therefore, while red beans might be a more common then glutionous rice and grass jelly, I wouldn't call it a typical ingredient so I have modified the text accordingly. Also gula melaka is more correctly called palm sugar since normal brown sugar, while an acceptable substitute is quite different from gula melaka... Nil Einne 04:03, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Talk:From Beyond (short story)

message: I removed the following from the article; I dispute it and believe it to be original research:
Like most of Lovecraft’s work, From Beyond takes place within a shared continuity popularly known as the Cthulhu mythos. Although there is nothing inherent within the story directly linking it to Lovecraft’s Cthulhu work, it has been established by Lovecraft and future editors as belonging to the parent mythology. 
I have seen nothing to support this assertion. First of all, what evidence is there that Lovecraft linked the story to his Cthulhu myth-cycle (this is highly dubious anyway given that the myth-cycle proper was not developed until many years later!) Also, who are these "future editors" cited. Since no reliable sources are given, I have no way to substantiate these claims.

Talk:The End Is Near (Five Iron Frenzy album)

message: As with most album articles, I propose that we merge The End Is Here with this article, since this is essentially just a re-issue of this album. Yes, it includes their live album, but this is how nearly every other album article I can think of does it. Rwiggum (Talk/Contrib) 23:20, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Opposed. I am not against a possible merger, but I am opposed to the direction you propose it. I would not merge Here (2004) into Near(2003). My reasoning for this is that Here is the commercially available CD. Near was a limited-printed album sold only first hand by the band themselves. The original issuing of Near does not even have a UPC or any other cataloging code. For that reason I am against the merger in the proposed direction. Danleary25 (talk) 12:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

~~LDEJRuff~~ (see what I've contributed) 12:25, 8 April 2010 (EDT)
I have a uniden model #udw20553, that has a bad AV OUT port. Is it possible to get a replacement circuit for the DC IN, USB, AV OUT ? When I opened the case, it looks like I can replace the entire circuit easily myself. When I hook up my monitor to a larger video screen, the connection at the unit will loose the signal to the monitor. Over the years, I think the av out port has gotten stretched out so that even with a new cord, the signal will not always go to the monitor. If I jiggle it, it will come in but even trying to tape it to keep the signal it will still lose the signal. 
I also have your Uniden Guardian model G7 and am very pleased with it.
Thank you for your time and assistance in this matter.

Thanks a lot!
:Not necessarily a "scholar" but Borges refers to the minotaur as Asterion in The House of Asterion. Finding a bibliographical collection of Borges works might be a good place to start some research. Hope it helps -Knapp 20:28, 16 Nov, 2006 (UTC) P.S. (7:33 17 Nov): He makes a reference to Apollodorus' Library at the beginning of the story.
:On the subject of Borges, I feel it's innacurate to consider "House of Asterion" the "story of Thesues and Areadne" from the "Minotaur's perspective". The story is basically a monologue by the Minotaur, in which he describes his vision of himself and of his labyrinth (his "house"). Theseus and Areadne appear only briefly in the very final lines. The story is certainly not about them.
Was Asterion a son of Tectamus or Neleus and Chloris? If Tectamus was a king of Crete, and Neleus a king in Messenia, shouldn't it make sense that hes a son of Tectamus? See Diodorus 4.60.2 But I haven't found a source yet that he was a son of either. Bobrednek (talk) 10:26, 23 July 2010 (UTC)
