UFC 161: Lil Nog out with injury (back), both co-main events have now been impacted. - Strongbad Jun 3, 08:23 2
- is that a PPV? cause I wouldn't watch Evans/Henderson for free at this point -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:27 1
  - Yes. I still like watching Hendo fight, but never pay for PPV's. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 08:29

Weekend Movie Poll - Star Trek B+, Now You See Me A -- nm - JenBro Jun 3, 08:13 12
- We rummaged through the DVD shelf and choose The Incredibles, A. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:28
- Now You See Me is my next movie, i think. Although I have no idea when that can happen. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 08:22 5

        Cool. I'll email Tom and see if can join us. I'd ask Znufrii but he'll probably run back to PA after work. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:37
- do you think now you see me will have nice legs? -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:20 3
  - I haven't seen the cinemascores for it, but yes. It's pretty unique, has a constantly enjoyable plotline, and is ripe for repeat viewing. -- nm - Inigo Jun 3, 08:23 2
    - agreed -- nm - tRuMaN Jun 3, 08:28
    - ooooh. I think I may have a pre-crush on this movie based on this. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:26
- Instead of a movie, went to Remlik's and watched ther Pacers beat Miami: A+. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:16

- :( -- nm - diva Jun 3, 08:12
- I know why... -- nm - Michael Douglas Jun 3, 08:09 7
  - i still can't believe Douglas felt the need to make that statement. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 08:16 6
    - he's approaching 'doddering old fool' time I think. -- nm - diva Jun 3, 08:26
    - It does seem odd. If he's trying to raise awareness that HPV can contracted in different ways, then I see the point. - Inigo Jun 3, 08:25 1
      - That has to be why. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:26
    - (What is this about?) -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 08:25 1

Food Network Star: Watching the premiere last night, I think kare should apply for this show. - Strongbad Jun 3, 08:06 2
- that's an awesome idea! Kare - read this idea!!! -- nm - JenBro Jun 3, 08:07 1
  - Right...Kitchen Treaty would be a great concept and I don't recall anything like it already out there. -- nm - Meg Jun 3, 08:16
what one website do you spend the most time on? (if it is here, what is second?) -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 08:02 22
- important to note maybe that since facebook broke for me I spend far less time there. it's fixed some in the last several weeks - amanda Jun 3, 08:25
- My other message board. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:13
- Twitter, probably. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 3, 08:09 6
  - (though I use the app and rarely go to the actual site). -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 3, 08:09 5
    - Do you know if there's an app that lets you make groups for Twitter? - Krusty Jun 3, 08:13 4
      - You can set up lists within the Twitter app. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 3, 08:15 1
        
        I don't see anything w/the Twitter app. I'll try a third party app. Thanks! :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:21
      - nmbl -- (link) - mara Jun 3, 08:15 1
        
        Thanks! One of those should work. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:19
- reddit -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:09 5
  - I need to spend more time on reddit. mine is def here, and second is likely my scrabs or deadline.com. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:18 4
    - With so many good subreddits it's easy to get lost there. The e-cig community was a huge help for me when I was quitting. - Krusty Jun 3, 08:25 3
      - I feel like I need someone to suggest subreddits to me. I feel like I need a better starting point. I also feel like - amanda Jun 3, 08:33
      - I noticed on Etsy last night that there are decorations you can buy for E-Cigs, like dragon wraps and stuff. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 08:26 1
        
        Yup. There are some cool looking wraps for the mods/e-cigs. - Krusty Jun 3, 08:29

- here, then twitter, usually. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 08:03
- here then the Ikariams probable -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 08:03
- ST, then Facebook, i would think. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 08:03 1

  - They should be first to get the cut. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:01
Bah! I guess I know part of what happened on Game of Thrones last night. thx facebook -- nm - Bacon Jun 3, 07:43 13
- evil -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:27
- It has become a real problem with the uber-connected Internet. -- nm - David Jun 3, 07:44 11
  - For some reason I usually manage to remain unspoiled. Maybe I have good friends - Guigue Jun 3, 07:48 1
    - In this case the post seems innocent but it gives away an event that I know coincides to last night's episode. - Bacon Jun 3, 07:50
  - if I want to be unspoiled, I have to watch within a couple of hours. And I'm on the East Coast. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 07:47
  - Yeah, Twitter was pretty much Spoiler City last night. No thoughtfulness whatsoever. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 3, 07:45 5
    - Because when you think thoughtfulness, you think Twitter! -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 07:49 4
      - Well, no. But the people I follow aren't usually that dumb. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 3, 07:50 3
        
        Well you won't be following them anymore! -- nm - Qale Jun 3, 07:52 2
        
        Oh, I stay off ST and social media if I'm worried at all about being spoiled on a show. -- nm - Kim Pine Jun 3, 07:54 1
        
        on tumblr there is an unofficial 12 hour rule. for 12 hours after it finishes airing on the East Coast, people are supposed to used spoiler tags. - loosilu Jun 3, 07:56
  - Yeppers. I mean if I am going to be an entire year behind I know something is going to be spoiled. I just never enjoy it -- nm - Bacon Jun 3, 07:45 1
    - You can't catch up on shows without knowing some spoilers. Sucks but I just hope I forget what I read or heard when I get to watch the shows. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 07:46
Star Trek casting question: (spoilers) - kelly Jun 3, 07:43 3
- apparently thier voices can be heard in a flashback from an answer I looked up -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 08:23 1
  - Ok, this is what we had figured. Thanks. -- nm - kelly Jun 3, 08:24
- I do not recall, but since they were in the first one..... - groiny Jun 3, 08:11
I think I have decided that I can't live all summer with a broken cameraphone. where do we think is my best bet for a used iphone? -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 07:41 17
- Buy from Gazelle on ebay? -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 07:57
- Time to switch to Android. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 07:42 15
  - I actually have been thinking about this, but I think the fact that the vast majority of my friends are iphone users makes the switch more difficult. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 07:43 13
    - You can still call them and send the pictures. :-) - Krusty Jun 3, 07:56
    - why would that be the case ? -- nm - decline Jun 3, 07:56 11
      - Texting is free between iphones. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 07:56 9
        
        Not only that, but if you have a Mac/iPad/etc... you can use iMessage as an IM program and it all ties in. -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 07:59 2
        
        facetime too. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:04 1
        
        I guess the texting thing is an issue if everyone is on different networks. Skype is a superior replacement to facetime imo. But I can see your point. -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:06
        
        What a scam. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 07:58
        
        I assume most people have unlimited texting. Not a fair assumption, I guess. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 07:57 4
        
        But they have to pay for it. I don't pay for texting at all. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:16 3
        
        It's not included in your bill? Interesting. I didn't know that. You pay per text to people not using Apple? -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 08:22 2
        
        I didn't include texting in my plan, no. I never text to anyone who doesn't have an iphone. -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:29 1
        
        (At least, I think that's true.) -- nm - mara Jun 3, 08:32
      - imessage. -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 07:56
  - This. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 07:43
I want the court to move slower not faster. If you had terms you would have abortion legal, then 15 years later illegal, then wait and it's legal - Bacon Jun 3, 07:41 4

  - It would take an amendment to change it correct? - Bacon Jun 3, 07:48 1
    - [deleted]
- They don't just take cases like that and things wouldn't go back forth so easily. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 07:45
CNN just had the DNA story, they said the police have to destroy the sample if you are found innocent -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jun 3, 07:40 30
- All it takes is one unpleasant interaction with the authorities to see where some of this stuff being so casually dismissed is a bad idea. - Mel Profit Jun 3, 08:16
- I don't think it is all that dfferent than fingerprints. Not like the cops are running to see if you have the cancer gene. -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jun 3, 07:45 26
  - [deleted]
  - It's very different. Your DNA gives them the ability to get so much more information about you than a fingerprint. - Krusty Jun 3, 07:49 17
    - *runs a study to isolate "crime" genes to find and "treat" potential criminals* -- nm - future government mad scientist Jun 3, 07:56
    - I have never been arrested and my fingerprints and DNA are on file for law enforcement. - Bacon Jun 3, 07:51 15
      - That's different. You chose to enter military service and part of that is taking your DNA. If I did nothing wrong but was falsely arrested why - Krusty Jun 3, 07:54 3
        
        Is there such a term as "falsely arrested"? - Strongbad Jun 3, 07:56 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        Of course. Just because they can hold you doesn't mean it's justified. If I get arrested for something I didn't do it's a false arrest. - Krusty Jun 3, 07:58
      - Yeah, but you also have the secret mind control implant, so of course you'd be ok with it. -- nm - Ender Jun 3, 07:53 1
        
        Mark of the Beast! -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 08:01
      - I have been fingerprinted like 5 times now. All the hospitals want it. -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jun 3, 07:53
      - [deleted] 7
        
        True -- nm - Bacon Jun 3, 07:54
        
        Can you opt out and still join the military? -- nm - James Bond (on phone) Jun 3, 07:53 5
        
        I doubt that. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 07:57 4
        
        That is what I thought. So it isn't really voluntary. Just like I have to get fingerprinted if I want to work. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 3, 08:10 3
        
        when you join the military, you automatically agree to a lot of stuff. It's voluntary in that you don't have to join. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 08:13 2
        
        Right, I have the option is sitting at home. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 3, 08:17 1
        
        Or working somewhere that doesn't require your fingerprints. Though, I'm pretty sure any decent hospital will fingerprint. I had it done twice. - Krusty Jun 3, 08:27
  - How do you know that? - ty97 Jun 3, 07:47 6
    - Cuz I had a class (granted years ago) where the cop came and told us how they run it. All they see ACTGCCTAGGATC blah - James Bond (on phone) Jun 3, 07:50 4
      - junk sequences are better for ID anyway, because they aren't conserved. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 07:55 3
        
        From what I remember they don't even sequence the whole genome anyway, way too wasteful. They only have like 13 or so strands that they sequence. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 3, 08:11 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I am obviously not going to read 57 pages now. However, I read similar things before. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 3, 08:19
    - [deleted]
- Yeah, that'll happen. -- nm - Krusty Jun 3, 07:44 1
  - if they don't it wouldn't lead to a conviction -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 07:45
