FOX spent a decade chasing the dragon (profits) based on short-term statistical models. All math, no heart. They boned themselves. - Beryllium Sep 25, 12:50 3
- That said, I'm interested in Almost Human and Enlisted. Geoff Stults = winning, and Karl Urban ... well. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 25, 12:51
- And imagine Firefly with Space: Above and Beyond! -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 12:51 1
  - I never really got into that show. Probably for the same reasons I avoided Battlestar Galactica and Andromeda. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 25, 12:52
I think I'll leave at 430. -- nm - amanda hk Sep 25, 12:47 1

- I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I have to pick just one? - Mop (200 lbs) Sep 25, 12:43
- Beef, but I'd actually be interested in the kosher/halal menu. Sometimes they have fantastic looking items on them. -- nm - spamlet Sep 25, 12:42
- Beef. Always beef. -- nm - David Sep 25, 12:39
- Citrus and Halibut just don't seem to go together, I would go with the Beef -- nm - amoxy Sep 25, 12:38 3
  - The heck you say! Butter and lemon juice are all I like to put on my halibut. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 25, 12:40 2
    - anybody who's seen a movie knows you don't order the fish on an airplane -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 25, 12:50 1

  - duh. -- nm - znufrii Sep 25, 12:36 1
    - though I'm not sure I'd have been able to tell if it wasn't clearly pointed out on the page. :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 25, 12:48
- Any Democrat who votes to fund President Obama's salary will be declaring that they support the next Republican president! -- nm - Beryllium Sep 25, 12:33

  - It seems like an Italian film with Jacob's Ladder themes. -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 12:33
- Is Golf/Tennis fun? What increases stamina the quickest? -- nm - Strongbad Sep 25, 12:18 6
  - I haven't played either. I'm also dying a lot more today than previously which is siphoning off a lot of Franklin's take. -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 12:45
  - Subpoll: what about lung capacity? I took Franlin out swimming and spent awhile underwater, but the stat didn't seem to move. - Dr.Vermin Sep 25, 12:39
  - Tennis is surprisingly good. I've run a couple of triathlons... I thought those would increase stamina faster. - Dr.Vermin Sep 25, 12:37
  - I just increased stamina by running whenever I was outside the car. -- nm - Ender Sep 25, 12:23 1
    - I'm still very early in (haven't completed first heist) - Strongbad Sep 25, 12:29

I just got a note asking me to check any dietary restrictions I have for an upcoming lunch meeting. my choices are - amanda hk Sep 25, 12:01 18
- Serious question: Why is it 'tree nut free' and not just 'nut free'? -- nm - ty97 Sep 25, 12:22 3
  - because guy nut's are a-ok -- nm - decline Sep 25, 12:22
  - Because there are people that can eat peanuts but not walnuts (and other tree nuts). - spamlet Sep 25, 12:22 1
    - So shouldn't they also list peanuts - or are those just universally eliminated these days? -- nm - Meg Sep 25, 12:24
- 8. Nothing with a face -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 25, 12:13 1
  - Nothing that casts a shadow. -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 12:14

  - Ha. :-) -- nm - Krusty Sep 25, 12:02
Ok, so my Nexus 4 is charging incredibly slowly in the dock that I have hooked up to my computer. Is this what I should expect? - spamlet Sep 25, 12:00 10
- Playing podcasts thru BT is going to chew up battery use as well which likely adds to the slowness. - Shaun Sep 25, 12:10 3
  - It's my first day of use, so I'm not sure yet. - spamlet Sep 25, 12:12
  - And it's not like the Nexus 4 gets great battery life anyway. (Though I do always use full brightness.) -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 12:12 1
    - I charge mine every night anyway, but as a light user, I usually have about 75-80% when bedtime calls. -- nm - Shaun Sep 25, 12:20
- Computers charge phones slow. -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 12:01 5
  - This. Charging via USB port is not optimal at all. -- nm - Qale Sep 25, 12:05 4
    - Hmm, so I'll have to get a plug for it. - spamlet Sep 25, 12:06 2
      - If you weren't also using it to listen to podcasts it would charge fine. - Krusty Sep 25, 12:10 1
        
        I also had Daydream enabled. I've disabled that and it seems to work better. -- nm - spamlet Sep 25, 12:48
    - And never use them during charging if that is your goal. -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 12:06
dignan has been leghumped. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 25, 11:59 18
- this sounds like it should be illegal in 38 states, 7 provinces and Guam. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 12:00 17
  - In seemingly unrelated news, I have decided never to celebrate my birthday again. -- nm - David Sep 25, 12:10 12
    - Pretty sure if you don't show up on ST, NCM will be at your front door - amoxy Sep 25, 12:16 3
      - I have a sturdy door and responsive 911 attendants. -- nm - David Sep 25, 12:16 2
        
        And a door knob at a slightly above average height. -- nm - Michael Sep 25, 12:17
        
        Yeah, but he will bring Meg -- nm - amoxy Sep 25, 12:17

        that rosemary and mint bar? wasn't a candy bar?..well it was kinda stale -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 25, 12:48 1
        
        it depends on what day it is whether or not he washes with a random bar or eats it so your guess is as good as mine. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 25, 12:49
    - he was especially...attentive to both you and kilbo that day. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 12:12 2
      - his cell was littered with schematics for days. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 25, 12:16
      - I'm going to start calling him Bjurman. -- nm - David Sep 25, 12:15
    - you liked it. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 25, 12:12
  - Doesn't Guam have an annual Leg Hump Festival? -- nm - Spawn Sep 25, 12:07 3

After dropping a number of season passes (Survivor, Nikita, OUaT, Revenge), this is the least amount of network TV I'll be watching - prayformojo Sep 25, 11:53 1

Here is a home Trulia just suggested. -- (link) - David Sep 25, 11:51 2

        the feeling is mutual. :) -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 12:38
- If that's what you're getting, you aren't getting much out of it. -- nm - spamlet Sep 25, 11:49
JD, I missed your response on the accounting thing. What are you looking for? -- nm - spamlet Sep 25, 11:48 5
- Just a very basic system. Veronica has been complaining about cost / slowness of quick books online -- nm - JD Sep 25, 11:59 3
  - Is she billing with it? Or just recording transactions? -- nm - spamlet Sep 25, 12:03 2
    - Just recording transactions -- nm - JD Sep 25, 12:12 1
      - Two possible ideas for that. - spamlet Sep 25, 12:31
- just based on his message I'd suggest Simply Accounting -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 11:50
TV watching: - Beaker Sep 25, 11:47 3

- no problem -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 25, 11:50
- oh and the last thing we want is a war with DMN. Check the Military scores. Yikes. -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 11:44 10
  - Yeah, they are significantly bigger and stronger than us - Will Hunting Sep 25, 12:10 1
    - we have some active players but most of the non-STers are more sim players than fighters - Beaker Sep 25, 12:11
  - Word says the guy on several DMN islands. -- nm - spamlet Sep 25, 12:08 7
    - now if the whole server turned on them that would be a hoot, but otherwise we would get hella stomped -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 12:10 6
      - is there a kerfuffle a-brewing over on dot.org? what's it about? -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 12:14 5
        
        just DMN fighting with a few guys and trying to use stuff's towns as a stepping stone - Beaker Sep 25, 12:16 4
        
        L3 on that descriptor in the IM. -- nm - Diva Sep 25, 12:21 3
        
        I keep waiting for them to go at it. I'd bet a LUX?VIP war kicks off eventually -- nm - Beaker Sep 25, 12:22 2
        
        ditto. - Mel Profit Sep 25, 12:48 1
        
        and I'd be thrilled to watch Lux pound the shit out of ViP. - Mel Profit Sep 25, 12:49
- I'm fine. -- nm - Mel Profit Sep 25, 11:43
