        I had actually forgotten the insanity determination. That would seem applicable since he would not have the state of mind required for the charge. - pmb Aug 8, 14:20 3

        Wouldn't that be an ex post facto problem? I don't think they can change the standard after the fact. -- nm - pmb Aug 8, 14:42 1

    - It is. I bought a food processor to make my own, even. -- nm - Amanda Aug 8, 14:42 1
      - First - merciless slaughter of the chickpeas. Second - free hugs on the inside to console them. -- nm - Max Aug 8, 15:00

someone did an animated intro for Dr. Who that totally feels like Gravity Falls -- (link) - zork Aug 8, 13:46 4
- (It's a shame that most people who see that will have no idea what Gravity Falls is.) - Kim Pine Aug 8, 14:08
- ST should expend a lot more energy praising Gravity Falls. - David Aug 8, 13:52 2
  - I think our Six Flags had that once but they replaced it with Tatsu -- nm - con_carne Aug 8, 14:20
  - It's so good. -- nm - Kim Pine Aug 8, 14:05

I'm conflicted as to whether or not to donate to our town's 9/11 memorial. - znufrii Aug 8, 13:16 12
- Did your fire and police go help? -- nm - Amanda Aug 8, 13:28 3
  - If steel was donated, I would imagine. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:38 1
    - here's details of the gift, no mention of any involvement in 9/11 or its aftermath. - znufrii Aug 8, 13:48
  - I don't know either way for a fact, but you'd think they'd mention if they did when they're asking for money for this memorial, right? - znufrii Aug 8, 13:30
- its one of those singular moments of US history, as pivital as pearl harbor, changed our lives. -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 13:27 5
  - yes. and? - znufrii Aug 8, 13:30 4
    - almost every town has a memorial to ww2 since every town had troops and losses -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 8, 13:39 3
      - You are making his point. 9/11 memorial *if* they had firefighters there. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:44 2
        
        think they giving steel to towns that donated fire trucks since they lost so many, but 9/11 memorial is still a powerful statement - zeitgeist Aug 8, 14:03
        
        right -- nm - znufrii Aug 8, 13:52
- i assume you aren't closet to the United 93 crash site (i really don't know how far that would have been from you.) -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 13:18 1

I just kayaked around Hazard Island. -- nm - Reagen Aug 8, 13:03 6
- sounds like what you call it when Dave talks himself out of the doghouse. -- nm - zork Aug 8, 13:40
- Hazard Island is actually a penninsula! -- nm - PFM, running for his life Aug 8, 13:13 1
  - Are you saying Andie is a dude? - zork Aug 8, 13:41
- You really should have docked your digny in the harbor. I hear it is very nice. Good sand dunes too. -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 13:05

- Uhm... cans do not have names. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:09 20
  - Yes they do -- (link) - oblique Aug 8, 13:11 19
    - They have BFF, Buddy, etc on them but nothing specific. That commercial is very specific (Armie, etc). -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:14 18
      - Not true. If you buy them in cases they have those kinds of things but individually you can also get names. -- nm - pmb Aug 8, 13:17 7
        
        Bottles yes, but cans? I doubt it as the printing process for those is more involved than the labels slapped onto the bottles. - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:19 6
        
        i haven't seen the names on cans here, but you certainly can buy a can of Coke out of a convenience store fridge as easily as a bottle. -- nm - Andie Aug 8, 13:21 5
        
        That you can rifle through and find your name? - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:22 4
        
        I raided our local grocery. I probably looked at 100 bottles in the vertical dispenser to find my kids names -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 13:24
        
        our cans and bottles are displayed and sold exactly the same way. in rows in a fridge. you would have to reach behind to get the non-front bottle, - Andie Aug 8, 13:23 2
        
        I don't really go into convenience stores so that explains that. - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:25 1
        
        I imagine we're not that far from seeing dispensing machines in stores that will print custom names on things in the near future -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 13:26
      - "Bros" -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 13:16
      - It's not really a commercial -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 13:16 8
        
        I am commenting on it be "a clever use". It is a flawed use. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:17 4
        
        And they even start with a bottle, which has his name and then go to a case of cans, which do not have names. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:36 3
        
        You realize they had to do that for the ending to work, right? -- nm - ty97 Aug 8, 13:37 2
        
        Yeah, just disappointed by the middle. An aside, I have went through at least three cases and all I have ever seen are - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:42 1
        
        I think they went about it wisely (spoilers) - ty97 Aug 8, 13:51

        I bet they aren't even pregnant -- nm - oblique Aug 8, 13:24 1
        
        I didn't even think it was. - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:26
Paul McCartney will do the score for the game destiny -- nm - Remlik's phone Aug 8, 12:53

    - Interesting that one gets to stay for a while. - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:24 2
      - I don't think he will. Could he? Maybe. Appar "Sally" is in less trouble because she reported him. It would look bad to ax her - Amanda Aug 8, 13:27 1
        
        Ah. Makes sense. -- nm - Star-Lord Aug 8, 13:31
    - Fantastic. My only disappointment is realizing that pillarhead is a position and not some nickname -- nm - JD Aug 8, 13:23 1
      - the outer message names encouraged that there was some girl play. but it's still scandalous. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 8, 13:25
