If RAW and Smackdowns are replayed in their entirety on the WWE Network... I'm afraid I've got some bad news. -- nm - Bad News Qale Feb 22, 19:04 4
- That should read "are NOT replayed" THEN I'll have the bad news. -- nm - Bad News Qale Feb 22, 19:07 3
  - way to ruin to the gimmck. -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 19:15 2
    - Yeah I know. I just was so annoyed they didn't follow through! -- nm - Qale Feb 22, 19:20 1
      - I really think, that for now, it's probably smart for them to do that. With the sale of ALL the tv rights going on right now whatever network shells - Remlik Feb 22, 19:23
Johnny Weir's bowtie from last night when he sat down with Bob Costas deserves its own Twitter account. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 18:56
Sherlock has lived up to everything ST has said. A++ -- nm - Beaker Feb 22, 18:17 1
- Yeah, hard to imagine anyone would not love it. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 22, 18:46
Already have my table reserved for 6:30am at my local watering hole.... breakfast caesar's, breakfast and hockey. - Heisenberg Feb 22, 18:13 1
- It's at 4am here... I might sleep on the couch and turn it on at 4:45-ish -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 18:21
Apparently, Ukraine's president-on-the-run tried to leave the country and was turned away by border security. - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 18:01 1

  - Here, it's running almost to script with last year's albeit with a touch more snow at the start - Reagen Feb 22, 17:40 1

You know.. those Flo radio ads are getting really annoying. At first her stuff was sort of funny, now she is pretty lame. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 22, 17:04
This Man's $600,000 Facebook Disaster Is A Warning For All Small Businesses (FB) -- (link) - zeitgeist Feb 22, 17:03 1
- Wait a minute, the business pays ' per click'? And they depend on FB clicks to tell them the clicks? Seems sketchy -- nm - Pippy Feb 22, 17:18
Apparently, having a gas tank on the left side of your car entitles you to be a dick. - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 17:03 41
- Try having a diesel when people only pull up and fill the two diesel islands and you have to wait with nine open pumps. -- nm - spamlet (droid) Feb 22, 18:38 6
  - Oh, for sure. The diesels get a raw deal. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 18:47
  - It's a polluter penalty -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 18:43 4
    - My car's cleaner than yours as it has to have the same emissions and I get 40 mpg -- nm - spamlet (droid) Feb 22, 18:45 3
      - Now that is a silly assumption. If I have a Nissan Leaf you would be a liar. -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 18:50 2
        
        Spoilers. - Bacon Feb 22, 18:55 1
        
        Ah, didn't know you were one of us. -- nm - spamlet (droid) Feb 22, 19:21
- In Mop's defense. We are a state that doesn't allow you to fill our own gas. Also our busier stations have arrows allowing you to only enter one way - Bacon Feb 22, 18:29 6
  - He is asking to jump ahead in line of other people. Honestly, he's being the jerk. - Reagen Feb 22, 18:57 1
    - I tried to throw some misdirection Mop. They didn't go for it. You are still wrong. - Bacon Feb 22, 19:00
  - Yeah, what is up with that? We have no arrows, no attendants and wide islands. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 22, 18:34 3
    - and you pay more than we do -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 18:43 2
      - taxes -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 22, 18:47
      - Yeah, that part does suck. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 22, 18:44
- I have cars with opposite tank sides. I'm not a dick, I'm just forgetful. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 18:24 1
  - also, it's not a thing. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 18:25
- True, there's an equal number of pumps, but the left-sided cars take up all their spots and then infringe on the others. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 17:50 1
  - and -- (link) - Reagen Feb 22, 17:59 [Backboard]
- There are less? Every gas station I've ever seen has had an equal number. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 17:30 6
  - I figured he meant open ones? -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 22, 17:31 5
    - I'm having trouble even picturing a station like he's upset about...much less finding the ability to be outraged even the slightest bit. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 17:33 3
      - Right. This is not a thing that has even entered my mind to be worried about. Gas pumps are not a thing that is "handed". -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 17:45 2
        
        [deleted]
        
        This. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 22, 17:45
    - even if - first come, first served. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 17:32
- so pull around and use the other side of the pump. - Reagen Feb 22, 17:29 6
  - They're all full. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 17:51 5
    - so -- (link) - Reagen Feb 22, 17:57 [Backboard] 4
      - Ah, the dick's mantra. I got here first, so screw you. - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 18:12 3
        
        this is not a rule anywhere. - Reagen Feb 22, 18:24 1
        
        (one wonders how you deal with old school cars with the tank opening under the license plate) -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 18:29
        
        If a gas station ever enforced if I'm pulling in, incorrectly...I'm never spending another dime there. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 18:18
- all the gas stations in NV have islands and service left & right side gas tanks -- nm - peglegpete Feb 22, 17:28
- Thinks a moment...Hey waitaminnit... - JD Feb 22, 17:19
- There's such a thing as "right-side tank pumps"? -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 17:19 5
  - Most gas stations you enter all the pumps form the same direction, so yes. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 22, 17:20 4
    - I'm wondering if this a regional thing. Even stations that are in the middle of the street around here have two driveways so one can enter the pumps - JD Feb 22, 17:23 1
      - Guess it dpeends on pump format, too.The stations I refer to is that all the pumps are in a row so the cxars are like sitting in a row like at a drive - Spawn Lord Feb 22, 17:26
    - I know of almost no stations like that... -- nm - Ender Feb 22, 17:22 1
      - Okay, maybe it is not "most" but it is many. Figured he was talking about one of those. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 22, 17:24
- I'm always annoyed by those that pull the hose across/around the car to the other side as it takes longer and those going around to the pump in front - zeitgeist Feb 22, 17:05

I didn't think to check the bronze hockey score until just now -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:50 1

You know I'm going to get up at 4am to watch the hockey game. -- nm - Mop (205 lbs) Feb 22, 16:48
Repost: ST Oscar Pool sign up info. -- (link) - JaxSean Feb 22, 16:45 [Backboard]
I am amazed at how many of our neighbors do stupid things. Two neighboring homes, 3 pregnancies - Will Hunting Feb 22, 16:40 6
- and thus set up for Idiocracy -- nm - JD Feb 22, 17:26
- Those people do not think about the future. -- nm - Spawn Lord Feb 22, 17:19
- My SO's girl just had a baby, a 'parting gift' too, only they were breaking up cause he was skitzo and didn't like living on the meds - zeitgeist Feb 22, 17:09
- Yeaaa... I see it all the time. It is ridiculous. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 22, 17:00
- As with any overpopulated species, frequent cleansing action is the key to overall success. - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:54 1
  - I bet they also subscribe to Jenny McCarthy's newsletter, is what I'm saying. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:55
Happy Natl Margarita Day!! -- (link) - budice Feb 22, 16:23 1

I'm already signed up on Vudu and UV, so i'm good to go. -- nm - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Feb 22, 16:15 15
- I wonder, how does this work? - Truman Feb 22, 16:38 12
  - Don't do anything without David. he says if you make a mistake it's not fixable -- nm - Bacon Feb 22, 16:39
  - What I did... - David Feb 22, 16:39 10
    - Yeah, rigt now my parents just use my login, which is fine. - Truman Feb 22, 16:41 9
      - Using 1 of 6, so i have 5 open slots. -- nm - Truman Feb 22, 16:44 8
        
        Okay, so that is a full group of six. I can start merging your accounts when everyone is set up. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:47 7
        
        my account is done -- nm - eag Feb 22, 18:29
        
        Is there a way you could check out my account to see of I can merge with you southerners -- nm - J-Nexus Feb 22, 16:53 5
        
        You can check for yourself (I think). - David Feb 22, 16:56 4
        
        (I do) - Reagen Feb 22, 17:31
        
        I can do merge, I meant that if you can view the contents or not...I think it shouldn't be a problem but would like to know for sure. -- nm - J-Nexus Feb 22, 16:59 2
        
        I honestly don't know how to check that. - David Feb 22, 17:00 1
        
        Add me to the list for the next group, uvvu has me as American so it should be fine. -- nm - J-Nexus Feb 22, 17:20
- Make sure Vudu is linked to UV. You can find this out by going to vudu, click on your name in the upper right, and click UV information in the pull - Bacon Feb 22, 16:33 1
  - Yup, they're linked. -- nm - IrishStephen (Master of The Filthy Jockstrap) Feb 22, 16:34
Wolf of Wall Street: C. So. Effing. Long. What a despicable bunch. -- nm - kelly Feb 22, 16:14
Wolf of Wall Street:C/C-....unbearably long -- nm - prayformojo Feb 22, 16:09 8
- god yes. Trim that movie up and it would have been excellent -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 16:14
- Did you at least find it funny? -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:11 6
  - No. and Jonah Hill lost all the good will he's built up -- nm - prayformojo Feb 22, 16:16 5

    - Are you and Kelly at the same place or are you mirroring opinions from a few miles apart? -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:21 3
      - I noticed that - she's at a different theater - prayformojo Feb 22, 16:28 2
        
        Heh. The theaters do all start at the same time. I remember when Jax and I both attended a few years ago. - kelly Feb 22, 16:32 1

Will, we could, but it has to be all Canadian accounts in it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 22, 15:43 3
- I wonder if my Samsung bluray player can play from uv ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 16:42
- Okay, it seems like I've seen 3 or 4 of you guys mention it recentluy. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 15:50 1
  - It certainly wouldn't hurt them to try. -- nm - David Feb 22, 16:09
WWE: Raw and Smackdown will not be offered as replays on the Network - Remlik Feb 22, 15:41 6
- Well...that's kinda weak. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 15:50 2
  - oh they'll have that stuff, they are talking about current episodes -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 15:50 1
    - Oh, so the good stuff....that's cool. - Will Hunting Feb 22, 15:52
- That feels like a concession to the networks. I expected it to be available a day or two later. -- nm - timPhone Feb 22, 15:43 2
  - probably on down the road and after the negotiate the new network contracts -- nm - Remlik Feb 22, 15:45 1
