I think some around here will be excited by today's IPO. Tim Burton directing an adaptation of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children. -- nm - spamlet Jul 18, 10:03 8

SongPop will give me a $2 Amazon MP3 credit if I'll just play 3 games... ugh... -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 10:02 1

- nice. Is dinner at 7? -- nm - amoxy Jul 18, 10:02 1
  - oh, no, this is my lunch. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 10:02
- Yum. - kelly Jul 18, 09:58 2
  - probably, but I want to work with what we've got... -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:59 1
    - Gotcha. -- nm - kelly Jul 18, 10:01
- sounds tasty. -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 09:57
- Thoughts inside. - Shaun Jul 18, 09:56 1

  - spoiler - Shaun Jul 18, 09:57
  - Nothing specific. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 18, 09:56

well-rated bluetooth waterproof speaker for $40? -- (link) - amanda Jul 18, 09:39 12
- we have this. rock on. -- (link) - colin Jul 18, 09:40 [Image] 11
  - I thought I just wanted radio until I had bluetooth. now I listen to podcasts in the shower. (is this TMI?) -- nm - amanda Jul 18, 09:41 10
    - Wait, I didn't think of this. - spamlet Jul 18, 09:48 6
      - I have a non-waterproof bluetooth speaker that I just put on my bathroom counter. - Ender Jul 18, 10:03 2
        
        I have my jambox in my bathroom, but I worry about it getting ... steamy. also, it doesn't sound great *while* i'm in the shower. -- nm - amanda Jul 18, 10:07
        
        I have a non-waterproof cellphone that I just put on my bathroom counter - decline Jul 18, 10:05
      - yeah, I'm trying really hard not to overshop this month, but ... -- nm - amanda Jul 18, 09:53 2
        
        it's actually pretty big -- 8 x 3.5 x 1.8 deep. -- nm - amanda Jul 18, 09:57
        
        Me too, but it's something I'll use every day. The Amazon reviews convinced me. - spamlet Jul 18, 09:57
    - Overshare: I have two podcast playlists: Car and Shower. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:42 2
      - who showers long enough to listen to podcasts? -- nm - colin Jul 18, 10:08 1
        
        This was my thought. But then it occurred to me I can just use it universally in the bathroom. Brush teeth, etc. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 10:10
What can I do for (what I'm guessing is) a bruised tailbone? - kelly Jul 18, 09:31 12
- yep -- nm - loosilu Jul 18, 09:50
- booze, stand a lot. sucks, so sorry. -- nm - colin Jul 18, 09:40
- Sit on it, Potsie! -- nm - David Jul 18, 09:38 1
  - You're old. -- nm - Jim Jul 18, 09:39

    - did you bump it? - groiny Jul 18, 09:38 4
      - What, did I fall? No. - kelly Jul 18, 09:40 1
        
        That'll do it. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:42
      - Yeah, my tailbone is sore anytime I sit on the floor becuase I have a weird posture... - Will Hunting Jul 18, 09:39 1
        
        Remember when I fell in the stairwell right after moving here? The bruise was epic. - kelly Jul 18, 09:51
LYC: It's famous in DC, the one rowhome holdout from selling to a big developer in DC has finally been rented (they literally built around 1 home) -- (link) - MDH Jul 18, 09:26 1

Score! In moving out my stuff, I found that ancient 1st generation iPod Nano that didn't work. Apple Replacement Program, here I come! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 09:25
Superman's Failed Relationship ... and Other Romantic Kryptonite From This Week's Tabloids -- (link) - Beaker Jul 18, 09:24 1
- I assume - especially from the article - that Henry Cavill decided he could do better. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 09:35

- I'm sure this is just this generation's version of Gen X/Slackers, but I have to say I find snarking on Millenials pretty easy to do. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 18, 09:52 1
  - dang beatnicks! -- nm - 50s Dads Jul 18, 10:05
- Not the Onion. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 09:24
- because all the research on them so far has been dead on (looking at you, Ford) -- nm - colin Jul 18, 09:24
- so, they want to be poor? :) -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:19 1
  - We're already poor and unemployed, might as well be poor but make a difference while doing it.. -- nm - Millenials Jul 18, 09:23

- WUnder also has the best weather app. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:25 1
  - Were you talking about the weather? Let me give you the forecast... -- nm - Google Now Jul 18, 10:05
- I usually use WU. Their forecasts can be a little...odd though. - spamlet Jul 18, 09:25
Shiv Kapur on pace to shatter The Open record with a 58 under par score. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:13 2
- As of this moment, it's -60 not -58. So there! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 18, 09:33
- The Open Got Shiv'ved? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 09:30
Leaving kids and pets in a hot car? Bad. Leaving cookie dough in a hot car? Good. -- (link) - zork Jul 18, 09:11

    - Our relationship has had a weird evolution. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:22 2
      - [deleted] 1
        
        It's like you don't even know me. :( -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:42
LYC: I just used the term "come at you like a spider monkey" in a conversation. Blank stares. - Was Bar Was Jul 18, 09:11
I kinda wish I had the new Gmail just so I could see what the fuss was all about. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 09:09 28
- I don't mind it. It's sorting fairly well for me as of now. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:21 1
  - right. this is my thought... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 09:50
- There's a video in the link below. -- nm - mara Jul 18, 09:14
- I'm in the 'digging it' camp. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 18, 09:11 23
  - I'm always amused (bemused) by the resistance to change. If this was Gmail day 1, everyone would be "WOW!" - Mop (200 lbs) Jul 18, 09:13 22
    - We as a community are somewhat resistant to change ... there's one big one that I want to make but have resisted for the time being. - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:20 18
      - Avat....oh wait. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 18, 09:40
      - but it's sort of like, say you have a filing system. Then someone else comes in and says, "no, this way makes more sense to *me*". -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:30 14
        
        You get what you pay for I guess. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:41 13
        
        There are people who do pay for Gmail -- nm - Beryllium Jul 18, 09:52 1
        
        There are also people who pay for sex. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:54
        
        but if their users end up not using it as much, their actual customers will look elsewhere. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:44 1
        
        *frantically codes the FB email service* YES! -- nm - M.Zuckerdouche Jul 18, 09:46
        
        That's a lazy way of looking at it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:43 8
        
        Switch to Hotmail then. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:44 7
        
        again, another lazy way of looking at it. - Reagen Jul 18, 09:48 6
        
        Assuming Google conceived and implemented these changes for "no real reason" is pretty lazy. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Jul 18, 10:08 1
        
        I assume they had a reason for it. It provides no benefit to me that didn't already exist within the existing code. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 10:10
        
        Have you filed a well-written complaint to Google? -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:49 3
        
        It changed for me half an hour ago, dude. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:51 2
        
        So that's a no then. -- nm - Shaun Jul 18, 09:52 1
        
        *No*! -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:53
      - I like it -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:21 1
        
        *waves arms to Google* SEE?!!?!?!??! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 18, 09:40
    - It's a completely redundant layer they've slapped over evverything that makes it harder to see your email - Reagen Jul 18, 09:15 2
      - Wasn't the original point of gmail that it removed all these layers? -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 09:20 1
        
        Yes. It's like they're turning it into Outlook. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:21
- Click the gear symbol in the top right, then choose Configure Inbox. - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:10
Info about gmail tabs and filters. -- (link) - mara Jul 18, 09:06
You can easily revert to the "old" gmail inbox. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 08:58 4
- not quite but close. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:02
- I have logged into both my accounts and still see no changes. -- nm - Spawn Jul 18, 08:59 2
  - Me either, but I'm sure it's being rolled out over time. -- nm - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:00 1
    - Yep. I have it in two of my accounts so far, but not the third -- nm - Roger More Jul 18, 09:20
I'm come to the conclusion that if anyone will top Hillary for the 2016 Democratic nomination it will be Elizabeth Warren. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 18, 08:58 23
- as much as I like Warren, I'm not sure running for president is her best option right now, or that she's a good fit for the role. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:01 22
  - She is the easiest candidate for the majority of Americans to support. -- nm - David Jul 18, 09:29 12
    - I'm not sure I buy that -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:33 11
      - and in any case, that doesn't address my points above. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:35 10
        
        The only point about a campaign is electability. She has it in spades. -- nm - David Jul 18, 09:38 9
        
        Good God, No. - Mel Profit Jul 18, 09:48 7
        
        I think there are legions of people out there waiting to be inspired to vote and be politically active. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:53 6
        
        It wouldn't be so much a campaign as a social movement... -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 10:00 4
        
        Hopey changey stuff! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 18, 10:02
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        I was meant ot. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 10:04 1
        
        It...to -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 10:05
        
        I may be too cynical about the GOP base. I'd love to be wrong. - Mel Profit Jul 18, 09:56
        
        I'm not convinced of either of those assertions. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:48
  - I love her. I mean it. I really really love her but... - Mel Profit Jul 18, 09:25 3
    - I'm glad someone other than me said this. -- nm - spamlet Jul 18, 09:32
    - this, exactly. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:28 1
      - I haven't had a crush on a politician so hard since M.C. ran for Student Council President in the 8th grade. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 18, 09:45
  - It's now or never for her. She'll be 73 the next time she can run if Hilary wins. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:07 2
    - then it wasn't meant to be. *shrug* -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:22 1
      - I'm cool with never. Just saying. -- nm - Reagen Jul 18, 09:30
  - I mean, just four years in the Senate, then want to be President? Come on! - nubby, Astro-lord Jul 18, 09:04 1
    - heh. -- nm - znufrii Jul 18, 09:16
It's a cruel summer. -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 08:56 4
- Bananadiva? - zork Jul 18, 08:58 2
  - well-played -- nm - i'm not dead yet ! Jul 18, 10:03
  - yw -- nm - Diva Jul 18, 08:59
- wax on, wax off. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 18, 08:57
omg. Au bon pain's mudslide cookie = divine. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 18, 08:56 2
- is that the one that's like a brownie? -- nm - colin Jul 18, 09:07 1
  - yeah kind of. -- nm - Don Homer Jul 18, 10:04
