  - nope. those trilogy of fights are legendary and their friendship is a great story. - Diva Jan 13, 07:44 2
    - I think your IM nails it. The first movie was about family. The second could be about friendship. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 13, 07:54
    - your IM is right. Unless they wanted to do a 4 Hr movie. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 07:45

        and the thing was... - Mel Profit Jan 13, 07:54
      - the subject matter would be entirely different from the first film. When I think 'unnecessary sequel' I think 'cash grab out to make the same movie - Diva Jan 13, 07:49
    - ok i will trust you on this on big daddy mel -- nm - remlik Jan 13, 07:43
    - Agreed. Those fights by themselves make for an epic feature. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 13, 07:43 1

Here's one of those problems that's just annoying enough to be a problem but not problematic enough to be worth fixing... so then what? - Max Jan 13, 07:04 10
- this is what I would do. - mittens Jan 13, 07:31 8
  - Do #3, first. -- nm - Spawn Jan 13, 08:45
  - i like the alt version of #1. in fact invite friends over. have a 'Fuck January;' beach party. Watch terrible beach movies. - Andie Jan 13, 07:45 6
    - Andie's working blue today. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 08:22 2
      - that's my general disposition towards winter. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 08:25 1
        
        My phone has weather for Edmonton...so far, January looks like a roller coaster for them. - Will Hunting Jan 13, 08:37
    - I could try this. I considered leave it on full blast while I'm away for the weekend, but with the heat on the humidity drops to less than 10% - Max Jan 13, 08:20 1
      - yeah, the fire risk over a weekend unattended would totally stress me out. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 08:23
    - we used to do this in my old apartment (5th floor, old building). it got so hot in winter that without all the windows open, you couldn't - mittens Jan 13, 07:53
- don't take the installers word for it that there are no problems in other units. ask around. -- nm - zork Jan 13, 07:07
I am shocked and dismayed that the question even needs to be asked -- (link) - znufrii Jan 13, 06:57 28
- My local paper, San Jose Mercury News, does a pretty good job with this. - ceregon Jan 13, 07:28
- My 2 cents, there are already enough of the "Fact check" websites out there - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:22 24
  - then what, in your mind, is the role of a journalist? - znufrii Jan 13, 07:30 15
    - I do not believe it's the NYT's role - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:33 14
      - If their job is to search for the truth, do they not have the obligation to actually condemn falsehoods when they are presented? -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 13, 07:39 1
        
        Yes. If they can pull that off in a factual non-partisan manner, kudos to them. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:44
      - but, if you report a someone making a direct statment, that you KNOW is erroneous, and say nothing... -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 07:37 11
        
        And in fact, we were unable to find one instance where Mitt Romney actually cremated a job. -- nm - NYTimes Jan 13, 08:08
        
        I understand the theory. I question whether the NYT would be able to pull it off in a factual non-partisan way. - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:41 9
        
        I can see how that particular quote might be problematic. - znufrii Jan 13, 07:50
        
        "Please note, at press time the NYT was unable to find one instance of the President Obama using the word "apologize" in a speech." - Andie Jan 13, 07:43 7
        
        I don't think the author used the best exemple, you can apologize without using the word "apologize" - Guigue Jan 13, 07:49
        
        And the flip side of that is the you can apologize for something without using the word "apologize" in a sentence. - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:49 5
        
        fine, that was an example used in the article. but you could apply the same approach to anything. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 07:50 4
        
        In theory, I fully support it. I question the NYT's ability to implement it. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:52 3
        
        The debate is not about the NYT, it's about journalism in general -- nm - Guigue Jan 13, 07:53
        
        (and I apologize for jumping around with my stance) - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:53 1
        
        enh, that's what debate is for. :) -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 07:59
  - *every* paper should be a guardian of the truth. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 07:27 7
    - I agree. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:29 5
      - Then, what's the point of this thread? - Will Hunting Jan 13, 07:40 4
        
        My original reply did not accurately explain my position. - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:43 3
        
        Fox News doesn't even try for fair and balanced, they outright lie. Watch OutFoxed someday. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 07:47 2
        
        I rarely watch any of the cable news channels. Usually only in public places when they've got one of them on tv. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 07:50 1
        
        we don't even get Fox News (unless you pay for it separately). Thank God. - Andie Jan 13, 07:51
    - yep. -- nm - Kim Pine Jan 13, 07:28
- Yeah, this exploded yesterday, giving Jay Rosen another reason to be both smug and arrogant. -- nm - Mop Jan 13, 07:02 1
  - Glenn Greenwald is, predicatbly, having a field day as well. -- nm - znufrii Jan 13, 07:04
SNOW!!!!!!!! -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 06:56 1
