The Australian anchor just made the loser gets Bieber joke! -- nm - mafic Feb 21, 11:12 6
- Fine. I'll say it. The Beiber joke...not funny. nm - Jim Feb 21, 11:20 3
  - Jus to clarify, you're saying the Loser Gets Beiber joke...not the cruel joke that is his actual fame and career, correct? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 11:21 2
    - Right. The "Loser gets" joke. Not funny. nm - Jim Feb 21, 11:22 1

  - Doesn't stop the Miracle on Ice.... -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 21, 11:23
  - it feels like a gold medal game, but, yeah.... -- nm - Andie Feb 21, 11:08 1
    - It's like the Miracle on Ice (I know, America not Canada). Most people assume that was the gold medal game. -- nm - spamlet Feb 21, 11:17
  - the final is 4AM sunday (pacific time) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 11:08 5
    - hello? where is everyone? heeeeeeelllllo -- nm - Church Feb 21, 11:08 4

Winter Olympics Inspire Nation’s Youth To Try Sports Their Parents Can’t Afford -- (link) - Beaker Feb 21, 10:51
I just had an idea for a visual tweak to the main site ... it would make it a bit wider, but bring it more in line with modern aesthetic ... - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:36 19
- My only compaint about the site is how I always have to resize the image when I'm on my phone. I wish the side menu was a pull down and..... - volnelk Feb 21, 10:51 5
  - What kind of phone do you have? I tap the screenon mine and it adjusts. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 21, 11:08
  - duly noted. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:54 3
    - Keeping in mind I have very little knowledge of what work that would require on your end. Zero knowledge, actually. -- nm - volnelk Feb 21, 10:55 2
      - I have some knowledge. Bery would have to program things. There's my knowledge. -- nm - mafic Feb 21, 11:02 1
        
        Yes, I suppose I misspoke. I also understand that it involves this website. -- nm - Under Armour Feb 21, 11:06
- Quick (currently ugly) example ... -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:48
- Hmm. First I'd have to determine what everyone's window size is ... this would take the site to 960px width, at least. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:40 3
  - I think even my phone is higher than that. -- nm - mafic Feb 21, 10:52
  - Time to go responsive, no? How are we still using a width fixed to the lowest common denominator? -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 10:51 1
    - ... part of the raison d'etre for the site is because of a botched attempt at that. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:53
- ooh, and I could take the same design idea and make the beta site look less bootstrappy -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:37 7
  - My only small complaint about the beta site is that it is a little hard to differentiate easily/quickly the different levels of a thread - prayformojo Feb 21, 10:50 4
    - I go by the shape/fill of the bullet point. -- nm - mafic Feb 21, 10:54 2
      - yeah, foundation breaks that :( -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:55 1
        
        actually, maybe I have to take that back. Maybe it's chrome that is breaking it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:55
    - Yeah, the indent gets overridden by foundation, I think - it also overrides the list item icons - Beryllium Feb 21, 10:53
  - yonh! -- nm - Diva Feb 21, 10:42
  - You're too good to us. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 21, 10:41

Now THR is reporting that Marvel Studios is currently looking at four possible directors to helm a Doctor Strange film -- (link) - Beaker Feb 21, 10:11 4
- I think a Doctor Strange movie would need a major star, not only director. Clooney might be a wonderful choice…Hanks would go ALL strange -- nm - Flavorize Feb 21, 10:16 2
  - An a-list star like that would be a very pricey investment given the inevitable long-term contract. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 21, 10:50
  - Clooney or Depp I think would work -- nm - Beaker Feb 21, 10:27
