Do our logins from other Gawker Media sites work here?
Thank you!
I certainly hope you realize that the room you linked to is completely full.
And whatever happened to the “just enter the name/password you want” option?
It works!
Oh darn, I did not realize Xkeeper. I will extend by 30 min or so and open up 2 more rooms to deal with overflow. Thanks for the heads up.
I just got in, and Ben said he was going to open up more rooms.
Here’s 2 new rooms if the first is full.
TWO
and
THREE
AgentMunroe, yes.

Welcome!
Hi,
Thank you for the invitation. I have enjoyed visiting this site for the past several months.
your login works on all Gawker Media sites..
Eh, I feel strangely smug and self-satisfied that I received my commenting privileges by submitting an appropriately witty comment… or at least, an appropriately obscene comment at a time the approver was napping.
Regardless, yay new people!
Wow. This was unexpected. Thanks!
Ya, I agree with OnoSideboard. Now I don’t feel so special…
Free, huh? How much do these normally cost?
Yea, agreed. (w/ mike)
Charging for plastic bags, utensils, etc. is the law in Taiwan, and has been for several years.
Even if I didn’t get charged for plastic bags or a discount for bringing my own, I still bring my own. A sturdy canvas grocery bag holds more weight, doesn’t rip and is more comfortable to carry than a disposable plastic or paper bag.
Unfortunately, I haven’t found a satisfactory solution for produce. I still have to use those small clear plastics bags to store and separate the tomatoes, peppers, etc. so the cashier can
weigh them.
