- I wonder if it's residential or commercial. -- nm - amanda Jun 5, 09:13 2
  - Both. It's actually 2 buildings (I think only one partially collapsed though). Commercial on bottom and apartments on top -- nm - decline Jun 5, 09:19
  - Looks commercial, but can't be certain. It's right in Center City... -- (link) - Don Homer Jun 5, 09:14

- We are now trying to determine what we're going to buy with our $80 - Will Hunting Jun 5, 08:53 17
  - $80? Are you getting some kind of credit from Vudu? -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 5, 09:08 6
    - You didn't get the email? If you converted Disc to Digital, you got 50% of that cost back as a credit. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:09 5
      - You had to convert at least 10 movies, iirc. -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 09:11 2
        
        (which...is exactly what ML said in his original post.) -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 09:13
        
        But everybody got at least a $2 credit. -- nm - David Jun 5, 09:12
      - Whoa. Thanks. I'm gonna go dig that up. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 5, 09:10 1
        
        You can just check your account page at Vudu. -- nm - David Jun 5, 09:11
  - We got a pair of seasons of BBT and Lost Girl season 2. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:56 3
    - I was looking at the tv shows last night, HBO didn't seem too much given it's HBO and they are almost always $$$$ -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:00 2
      - HBO UV codes are everywhere for cheap, at least for the new stuff. -- nm - David Jun 5, 09:04 1
        
        I will need to investigate more if/when we get to that point. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:07
  - But you told me not to bother with the hard copy... -- nm - kelly Jun 5, 08:55 4
    - I know...it's just a feeling of being ripped off given I can have a hard copy for the same thing as 'nothing'. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 08:59 3
      - think of it as buying shelf space. -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 09:01
      - But that is what digital copies are. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 09:00 1
        
        Usually for a cheaper price. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:04

  - *shrug* It's a democracy. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 5, 08:51 1
    - *Was* a democracy. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:54
- government wanted to raze a city park in Istanbul for development. Istanbul residents did not agree with this decision. -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:50 2
  - and it escalated from there. -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:52 1
    - And is now a protest against the government's policies that have erroded their democracy and basically turned Turkey into a dictatorship. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:54
- "Death to mop!" -- nm - Turkey Jun 5, 08:48 3
  - L4. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:51
  - that escalated quickly -- nm - Epiphany Jun 5, 08:49 1
    - That's been the standing order in Turkey since '89. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 5, 08:52
did someone here recommend "The num8ers station" to me? it's in my hold stack at the libraries and.. I have no idea what it is. -- nm - amanda Jun 5, 08:47
Per Dan Patrick, Karl Malone is backpedaling. - amoxy Jun 5, 08:43 8
- ...from child support payments. -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 09:08 1
  - heh. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 09:11
- Malone is a terrible human being. He has children whose existence he rejects. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:47 2
  - This. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:50
  - [deleted]
- Sure. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:45 1
  - Malone is so full of shit. He is just looking for attention -- nm - amoxy Jun 5, 08:47
- Now he is on the show and is trying to salvage -- nm - amoxy Jun 5, 08:45
Anyone here ever gift Omaha Steaks or receive them as gifts? Are they any good? -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 08:40 21
- They are just okay and not worth the effort/aggravation. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:47 4
  - Eh, gifting them is really easy. Of course, you'll get a piece of mail and an email from them every day for the rest of your life. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:50 3
    - They have like 75 choices that are all roughly the same. -- nm - David Jun 5, 08:52 1
      - And they'll send you an envelope telling you about each and every one of them! :) -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:53
    - *this! so annoying -- nm - Epiphany Jun 5, 08:51
- Nope -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:45
- no to all -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:45
- No Yes Yes -- nm - amoxy Jun 5, 08:43
- max sent some to jax once -- nm - charlie Jun 5, 08:43
- Yes, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:42
- Yes, yes and yes. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:41 10
  - They're not, like, 5-star restaurant quality...but no where near the shit the dudes in the meat trucks try to sell you. - Jim Jun 5, 08:43 8
    - I agree. When thinking of a gift you haven't sent before...these fit the bill. - Epiphany Jun 5, 08:50 2
      - I like ProFlowers a lot. Teleflora gives me the best deals though. -- nm - Diva Jun 5, 08:55
      - "when you care enough to send meat." nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 08:51
    - I have never seen one of these "meat trucks" nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 08:44 4
      - Me either. We have seltzer trucks but I haven't heard of a meat truck. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:56
      - Really? They stop at our house a couple times a year. Refrigerated trucks... - Jim Jun 5, 08:46 2
        
        I wonder where that meat really comes from. -- nm - loosilu Jun 5, 08:49 1
        
        Really...I don't think I want to know. -- nm - Jim Jun 5, 08:49
  - I'll have what he is having. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:42
My starting 5 -- Magic at PG, Jordan at SG, Robertson at SF, Duncan at PF, Chamberlain at C - Will Hunting Jun 5, 08:39 5
- All I know is I am very happy that *nobody* mentions Kobe in this discussion. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:41 4
  - He's far too head-case to belong there. Jordan never tanked his team to prove points. - Will Hunting Jun 5, 08:42
  - another guard I'd take over Stockton. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:42 2
    - sure, kobe's better than stockton. but he's not a point guard....nm - x Jun 5, 08:45
    - agreed -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:42
re the Hogwarts acceptance letters. I hope some fan, somewhere, sends wedding invitations in that format. -- nm - loosilu Jun 5, 08:33 3
- oh, there are some amazing Harry Potter wedding invitations, i saw spectacular Marauders Maps ones. -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 09:16 1
  - (hand made) -- nm - Andie Jun 5, 09:16
- *forwarding to my wedding planner friend* -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:45
5 Scary Myths You Probably Believe About the Economy -- (link) - Beaker Jun 5, 08:31 1
- DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!! -- nm - znufrii Jun 5, 08:39
my opinion: I'd take Payton and Magic before Stockton, and Isaiah is a close call. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 5, 08:31 31
- i'm really not totally running down payton, he was really good. i just think stockton was a much better shooter and a better passer...nm - x Jun 5, 08:38 8
  - Stockton was better for much longer. Payton's last four seasons were him hanging on. -- nm - David Jun 5, 09:02
  - plus it is nice to get a white guy in there other than at head coach. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 08:43 6
    - I have Bird at SF. Not many people on Earth are whiter than Larry. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:51 5
      - Bird, Magic and MJ were the best examples of players with the W gene... - Mel Profit Jun 5, 09:02 1
        
        You nailed it. They refused to lose. It took everything you had to beat them and as we know, often it wasn't enough. Larry had me rooting for Boston - Krusty Jun 5, 09:06
      - Word on all counts. He is actually the first person I draft for the team. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:53 2
        
        He makes the whole team better and does everything. One of the most complete players ever. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:57 1
        
        I admit that I am partial to him as he is local, but *damn* if he was not something. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:59
- I'd take Magic and Isiah over Stockton but not Payton. I hate Stockton to this day but he was right there with Magic and Isiah. - Krusty Jun 5, 08:37
- I might even throw Shaq Prime in. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:35 20
  - Over Wilt or Russell? I could see an argument being made. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:43 19
    - I think those are the 3 Centers you have to pick from. - Mel Profit Jun 5, 08:53 18
      - Hold on, now you're dropping Kareem? I could argue he's the best C of all time. I'm not going to since I'm not in the mood but he is likely my #1 C. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 08:59 2
        
        I'm probably not the best person to try and convince on Kareem. I loathed that guy. - Mel Profit Jun 5, 09:04 1
        
        Fair enough. Would you prefer to talk about Lew Alcindor? -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 09:07
      - shaq was amazing. i always wonder how amazing he would have been if he actually liked playing basketball... - x Jun 5, 08:56 14
        
        He was the most physically dominant C that I've seen play. Not the best since his touch away from the basket wasn't very good. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 09:00
        
        agreed and yet he's still on the conversation for best C ever. He was frighteningly talented. - Mel Profit Jun 5, 09:00 8
        
        I think the rule changes has been the biggest reason that we don't see teams building around the center today. - Krusty Jun 5, 09:02 5
        
        sure, they put in the rules to get away with the clutch and grab and to unclog under the basket... - x Jun 5, 09:07 4
        
        I don't know if I like it more. I really enjoyed the hard fought games of the 90s. We won't see that again. Those games were usually in the 80s but - Krusty Jun 5, 09:10 3
        
        oh, i like the 80's/early 90's more. I just think it's better today than it was even a few years ago.... - x Jun 5, 09:17 1
        
        You're right. It's a much better game than it was 6-8 years ago. - Krusty Jun 5, 09:31
        
        80s meaning scoring. I wasn't clear about that. -- nm - Krusty Jun 5, 09:16
        
        Well, 7'2, 325lb monsters who could feign movement don't grow on trees. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 5, 09:02 1
        
        agreed...but there aren't many even remotely that size. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 5, 09:03
        
        I think on this mythic team we are putting together, he would be rather motivated. - Spawn Jun 5, 08:58
        
        or, you know, hit a free throw every now and again. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 5, 08:58 2
        
        If he was on the team with Bird, Larry would make him shoot 1000 FT in practice. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 5, 09:05 1
        
        Underhanded. He'd have shot 80% or better if he had sucked it up and shot them underhanded. If you're that tall with hands that big you can't get - Krusty Jun 5, 09:14
for LMS - what's the latest on when S3 will start? I keep seeing different dates. -- nm - loosilu Jun 5, 08:31 2
- I think around Xmas/New Year. -- nm - LMS Jun 5, 08:53 1
  - Oh, and the pilot is just a shorter version of the first episode but looks less impressive. -- nm - LMS Jun 5, 08:55
For some reason I picture Rob Ford as being $200k poorer right now... - Beaker Jun 5, 08:29 6
- I picture a number of young Somali men being very frightened of a very fat white man right now. -- nm - Mop (190 lbs) Jun 5, 08:40
- Yep, 8 days of silence from him about to it so he can scramble to raise the money -- nm - J Jun 5, 08:40 3
  - I look forward to the scandal in a year or so when someone discovers that he stole it form the city. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:42 2
    - Ha! never thought of that angle -- nm - J Jun 5, 08:43 1
      - Everyone quitting is what made me think of it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:47
- Nah. The mark gets charged a premium. No way he got it for the media price. -- nm - TWuG Jun 5, 08:31
Right about now. -- nm - Spawn Jun 5, 08:28 1
- time for your tongue lashing! -- nm - pixie si Jun 5, 08:29
