- already skeptical, simply from the name of the website you linked. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 11:14 2
  - and, as I suspected, they offer absolutely no proof of their claim, or firsthand account of its use. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 11:17 1
    - nothing on snopes about it, thought I expect that's just a matter of time. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 11:24

Did the WWE address their stock situation today? Was the first bullet point on their corrective action: We'll stop trying to make Paige happen? -- nm - Qale May 19, 10:41 7
- highlights - Remlik May 19, 11:25
- Other than what was reported in the earnings report that precipitated the drop? No (and they probably won't). Sidenote: Vince lost $357M Friday -- nm - decline May 19, 10:53 1
  - Was their second bullet point: Blow up the Exotic Express with Adam Rose inside? -- nm - Qale May 19, 10:56

  - I'm sure none of the reports will mention that Smackdown right now is *really* awful. They treat it more like a D-show behind NXT and Superstars. -- nm - Qale May 19, 10:47 2
    - They aren't going to talk quality of the product. Outside of ratings and PPV buys, that isn't really an issue to why the stock price is what it is. - Will Hunting May 19, 11:08 1
      - one of the things that hurt them that I read was that in complete survey's done by fans, WWE fans earn less than Nascar fans... - Remlik May 19, 11:27

  - you put that little plastic stamp thingy into this box on the counter, it sucks the pictures out and puts them on paper, cool -- nm - zeitgeist May 19, 10:41
  - How else would I get my photos? I do it all online and pick up at the store to save on shipping. Easy peasy -- nm - CQ May 19, 10:33

Man, if Instapaper implemented tagging like Pocket it would be the perfect service #notevenfwp -- nm - spamlet May 19, 09:56 7
- I so love pocket -- nm - decline May 19, 09:59 6
  - Alternatively, if Pocket had "reading time estimates" like Instapaper it would be nearly a perfect service. - spamlet May 19, 10:00 5
    - I use it primarily for recipes so that's not an issue for me :) -- nm - decline May 19, 10:09 4

I have just listened to a guy on a conference call for the last 15 minutes, every ten seconds, "Who just joined?" "Who just joined?" "Who just joined? - Will Hunting May 19, 09:18 3
- My conference call pet peeve is when it's a LARGE number of people calling in, and the presenter doesn't mute the line. - JaxSean May 19, 10:33
- Ask everyone once they sign it to say, "Yo, it's (NAME)" -- nm - Strongbad May 19, 09:27
- you should leave the call and then rejoin a few times, just to eff with him -- nm - decline May 19, 09:25

Concourse D's security line wasn't too bad, even if I did have to do the whole shoes off, everything out of the bag thing... -- nm - Ender May 19, 08:58 1
- Man, it's going to suck going into the general security lines when I fly next month. - spamlet May 19, 09:14
Huh. I was closest on a baseball-related question. This can only mean - prayformojo May 19, 08:53 3

SABR listed out all the ways that an at bat can end. How many are there? - spamlet May 19, 07:53 20
- pfm wins. SABR says 14 (I say 15). - spamlet May 19, 08:24 11
  - What about dropped strike three? Is that just a K but you are safe? And what if you are ejected arguing a pitch? I suppose that AB doesn't count. -- nm - volnelk May 19, 08:29 2
    - It gets scored as a K, so I think it just counts as a strikeout. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 08:52
    - If you're ejected before strike 3, the replacement guy gets credit for the at-bat, iirc. -- nm - Will Hunting May 19, 08:32
  - If a scrifice bunt isn't a ground out, why is a sacrifice fly not a fly out? I agree with you... - Jim May 19, 08:26 7
    - and in both of those cases in your IM, the at bat ends with the strikeout. - znufrii May 19, 08:29 2
      - If the AB is over...how is the guy running to first base? That's like suggesting that as soon as the ball is hit, the AB is over. - Jim May 19, 08:44 1
        
        because he isn't out and the ball is still live. - znufrii May 19, 08:57
    - because does anyone ever actually try and hit a sac fly? - znufrii May 19, 08:28 3
      - With a runner on 3rd and less than 2 outs...damn right batters are going up there looking for a long fly ball. - Jim May 19, 08:29 2
        
        the idealized hitter in that situation is going to prefer to hit it out of the park. - znufrii May 19, 08:33 1
        
        Well anytime ANYone comes to the plate a HR is a best case scenario. -- nm - Jim May 19, 08:42
- I'll say 22 -- nm - Jim May 19, 08:09
