- Hey, we can't do disc-to-digital with TV shows, can we? I haven't been successful in finding any. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 09:59 1
  - No, only movies. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:01
ST Music Poll: What is your favorite track of 2013 so far? - con_carne Aug 27, 09:56 15

- Odds Are. - David Aug 27, 10:03
- Radioactive -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 10:00 2
  - Yeah, I think I'd have to agree here. I also really like that Fall Out Boy track - oblique Aug 27, 10:01 1
    - Most of the 2013 summer songs are complete garbage -- Thicke and Daft Punk's songs will be on my auto-play list in Hell. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 10:04
- Any track from the upcoming Jonas Kaufmann Verdi CD -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 27, 09:59
- I have no clue when shit was released. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:58 4
  - If you're like me, just about every morning around 7:15. -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 09:59 3
    - oh no, it takes mine a while to ferment, unually at 3:00 in the afternoon. - groiny Aug 27, 09:59 2
      - I really hope you meant "foment" there. -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 10:03 1
        
        Ha! -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 10:08

I watched the very entertaining doc on Marty Glickman on HBO last night, but at several points I thought - prayformojo Aug 27, 09:52
The car battery in the hybrid apparently went dead last night when Heather was driving home from work, stranding her on the road - prayformojo Aug 27, 09:42 12
- Glad to read that all went well. -- nm - OAE -- Explorer, Antarctica, Old Aug 27, 10:00
- Are you referring to the hybrid battery or does the car also have a "normal" battery? You said something more expensive - oblique Aug 27, 09:53 1
  - it prob depends on the type of hybrid. Toyota hybrids, for example, have only the hybrid battery which can be quite pricey. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:54
- Yikes, that would be scary. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:47
- which hybrid do you have? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:45 2
  - 2004 Civic -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 09:49 1
    - oh ok. glad it wasn't too expensive! we have a prius and I worry about that cost someday. - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:53
- When the battery goes, the car dies? - nubby Aug 27, 09:42 4
  - I assume he means the car battery, not the hybrid batteries. -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 09:59
  - Need electricity even with a non-hybrid. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:50
  - My guess is that once you came to a stop and the gas engine shut off that would be it. -- nm - spamlet Aug 27, 09:47 1
    - Oh, I can't read. The car battery, not the hybrid battery. -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 09:57
Did some news org run the Neil Armstrong death as news? An unrelated person on my FB feed posted it too. - Ender Aug 27, 09:41 1
- did you respond with "you obviously don't care *that* much"? -- nm - spamlet Aug 27, 09:47
Your ancestors didn't sleep like you -- (link) - zork Aug 27, 09:40 2

  - I do this fairly often too -- nm - zork Aug 27, 09:48

- sfek, 're picking the 2020 hosts on Sept 7th. Who will it be? - znufrii Aug 27, 09:34 7
  - Why'd they change it? -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 09:41 3
    - That's really none of your business. -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 09:45
    - I can't say. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 09:44 1
      - Maybe they liked it better that way. -- nm - nubby Aug 27, 09:58
  - Turkey? That place where they had deadly protests over public welfare taking a back seat to corporate interests? -- nm - con_carne Aug 27, 09:41 1
    - And it's awfully close to Greece... -- nm - Ender Aug 27, 09:45

thinking more about Colin's story this morning - Reagen Aug 27, 09:26 27

  - yeah, that is pretty classy. - groiny Aug 27, 09:32 5
    - Well you are a bad mutha. -- nm - Shaun Aug 27, 09:34 4
      - they don't want none of this. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:35 3
        
        yeah but if they sweep your legs you're done. -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 09:38 2
        
        they had better not miss. - groiny Aug 27, 09:39
        
        Dude. *Anyone* is done at that point. - Spawn Aug 27, 09:39
- I'm with you, and I don't have kids. - Kim Pine Aug 27, 09:29 19
  - What Kim is politely saying without saying is that I aggressively confront people who are wrong. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:45 18
    - I call this the "Self-deputized" perspective. -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 10:03 2
      - With $50 billion, I'd easily be Batman. -- nm - David Aug 27, 10:04 1
        
        It's only fascism if you're *rich* -- nm - landbeck Aug 27, 10:07
    - You're not alone. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:52
    - You're definitely a horn blower. I always worry about someone having road rage and turning around and coming after me. - Kim Pine Aug 27, 09:50 5
      - I am too. I could definitely survive in Chicago. 1 hand on the wheel, the other ready to hit the horn. -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:54
      - I have gotten better, but still, some days, I snap. - groiny Aug 27, 09:52 3
        
        For them or for you? -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:53 2
        
        for them. - groiny Aug 27, 09:56 1
        
        i got out of my car once when someone was honking at me to go at a stop sign. - Andie Aug 27, 10:05
    - You also aggressively confront people when YOU'RE wrong. nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:47 7
      - Like I'm ever wrong. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:52 1
        
        you dropped an "n" -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:53
      - Speaking of your wrongness...haven't seen any of your thoughts on the Survivor cast. Did they bring back anyone you like? -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:49 4
        
        I haven't looked yet. I'm leaning toward not watching until The Racist is gone. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:54 2
        
        I've been trying to see if I can find how long he lasts. But I really don't want to have the season spoiled for me anymore than it already has been - Jim Aug 27, 09:56 1
        
        Although, with 2 people from his season on a tribe with him. - Jim Aug 27, 09:59
        
        is this a trick question? - groiny Aug 27, 09:50

I cannot believe that Da'Rick Rogers is not going to be in the NFL at the start of the season. - David Aug 27, 09:16 3
- But I hope Jeff Tuel does start for the Bills and throws for 375 yds and 4 TD's against the Pats -- nm - amoxy Aug 27, 09:18
- [deleted] 1
  - He didn't have a reputation as lazy here, but he is self-absorbed well beyond a point of fault. - David Aug 27, 09:20
So, HSX's IPO today is Dave Batista -- I only knew he was in Guardians of the Galaxy -- didn't know he's in Riddick either - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:16 4
- he was in that Man with the Iron Fist as well? -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:20 3
  - yep. -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 09:43
  - Yeah, but I'm talking real projects :) - Will Hunting Aug 27, 09:22

- ty! -- nm - Mop (200 lbs) Aug 27, 09:17 1
  - but of course ... just 'cause Pixie isn't here to call me Insurance Rainman - doesn't mean I won't still live up to the title :) -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 09:26
DC aiming to bid for the 2024 Olympics? My god, can you imagine the level of security? -- (link) - volnelk Aug 27, 09:13 28

    - and hire yourself out as a guide and make a second bajillion -- nm - zork Aug 27, 09:39
- I'm sure the NSA strategic orbital security platform will be operational by then. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 27, 09:36
- With Qatar hosting the World Cup in 2022, I suppose anything could happen. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 27, 09:33 3
  - They best sporting event money can buy. - znufrii Aug 27, 09:37 2
    - plus the timing of qualifiers around the world would probably have to change -- nm - zork Aug 27, 09:38 1
      - without question. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 09:47
- It won't get it. First of all, it has to beat every other American city competing to be the USIOC's pick - Roger More Aug 27, 09:25 2
  - Your first point is true of every city that competes and wins. -- nm - TWuG Aug 27, 09:28 1
    - Sure, but look at the competition for the 2016 bid - Chicago, LA, San Francisco, Philadelphia, Houston. - Roger More Aug 27, 09:42
- *splurts everywhere* -- nm - NSA Aug 27, 09:17
- We've already got the whole town wired! -- nm - NSA Aug 27, 09:17

  - and Michael Bay can help. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:17
- I would never want my city to host the Summer Olympics. The scope of them has just gotten way too grand. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 09:15 7
  - aren't you still in Brandon? :) -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 09:27
  - I think it's more about organisation. But everyone complains over the 7-year lead-up, but gets on board at the actual event. -- nm - Roger More Aug 27, 09:27 1
    - Yeah, I try to focus on that bigger picture than the boosterism. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 09:30
  - I would. - znufrii Aug 27, 09:16 3
    - There is that, yes. Bit like winning a small lottery. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 09:19 2
      - people down the street, iirc, got $1500 a week for the US Open -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 09:44 1
        
        actually, scratch that, it was $5000/wk or $1500 a night that they were asking. -- nm - znufrii Aug 27, 09:48
- no thanks, blech. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:14
- [deleted] 3
  - as opposed to other cities? -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:14 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - pretty similar overall rate to Minneapolis actually, including far fewer burglaries and forcible rapes. -- nm - Don Homer Aug 27, 09:21
I am going to suggest that we all leave all that shit on B2 and never speak of it again. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:10 16
- *nods in agreement* -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 27, 09:21
- Actually, Bery, can you delete that thread? - amoxy Aug 27, 09:17 1
  - Um. Not at the moment, tools not available. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:23
- Poor Neil Armstrong. -- nm - Spawn Aug 27, 09:16
- Absolutely. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:14
- sounds good, so when this becomes B2 it is all gone -- nm - dogbert Aug 27, 09:13
- agreed. let's let people be. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 27, 09:12 3
  - Whoa, whoa, whoa. That's kind of a blanket statement there, donchathink? - Jim Aug 27, 09:15 2
    - OK, don't let Jim be. Everyone else, open season! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:22 1
      - (Wait, that makes no sense. open season on leaving people alone? hrm.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:23
- Agreed. Sorry for starting that. -- nm - Inigo Aug 27, 09:11 5
  - no, that is fine, it is the posting of his personal info that I am not really on board with. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:12 4
    - Indeed - I currently don't have the tools available to edit the post, though :( -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 09:27 3
      - so you are saying that your tool is not working? -- nm - groiny Aug 27, 09:29 2
        
        Sounds like he's saying he doesn't even have his tool WITH him! -- nm - Jim Aug 27, 09:32 1
        
        well he *is* married -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 27, 19:58
Cats are one of God's greatest creations. I am truly sorry for your loss and your pain, JenBro. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:08 5
- thank you so much - as we all know - these days come - we never know when - and they always suck - appreciate the love here everyone -- nm - JenBro Aug 27, 09:22 4
  - FWIW, Calvin died 4 years ago yesterday and I thought about it. Losing a member of the family is always brutal. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:42 3
    - way back I had an orange tabby and named him Hobbes -- nm - zork Aug 27, 09:46 2
      - I also had a Hobbes but he wound up being Dad's. They're inseperable. -- nm - David Aug 27, 09:49 1
        
        mine got peritonitis when still a kitten and died less than a year old. he was so affectionate and acted more like a dog than a cat. -- nm - zork Aug 27, 09:51
DMBDH (Decide my broadway double-header): - znufrii Aug 27, 09:06 3
