legendary slot machine finally pays out $2.4 million jackpot after 20 years -- (link) - znufrii Aug 25, 06:55 3
- that's VERY cool - I wanted to play that machine when I was there but never made it over to the MGM Grand ... I hope they get to keep the machine! -- nm - JenBro Aug 25, 08:38 1
  - iirc they are going to retire it, the last large pot 3 wheel mechanical slot -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 25, 20:13
- The last paragraph is kinda fascinating. You always think of the slots as standalone machines but apparently they're sentient -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 07:03
When the shuttle bus is preferred over the train there's a real problem. My local G train is awful but the shuttle bus has been awesome - Krusty Aug 25, 06:52 3
- It's a TRAP -- nm - znufrii Aug 25, 06:55
- That's....unusual -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:53 1
  - I know! I usually despise any bus, especially the overcrowded shuttle buses. But this one has been running so well it's stunning. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:54
so Tivo is introducing a new DVR version for those people who dont have cable (its an OTA dvr) - Truman Aug 25, 06:51 2
- I bought a Roamio for my OTA recently. I wonder what this will have that the Roamio lacks -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 07:01 1
  - They're doing a special Roamio for only OTA at Best Buy for $49. - spamlet Aug 25, 07:14
Caveman Commish: Davonte Freeman, RB - Atlanta was assigned to my team instead of Stephen's. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:50
Emmy night -- who ya got? Cranston or McConaughey? Breaking Bad or True Detective? - Will Hunting Aug 25, 06:46 5
- I'll be surprised if it's not Cranston/Breaking Bad. This is their Return of the King night. -- nm - David Aug 25, 06:58 2
  - I would agree if it wasn't that these voters can prove to be 'hip' and give an award to the movie star. - Will Hunting Aug 25, 07:00 1
    - I mean, it's the Emmys so stupid is the law of the land. BB is still the most successful TV show of the 2000s, though. -- nm - David Aug 25, 07:03
- I agree with your IM. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:48 1

when i was a teenager, the Burger King was the place that was open latest of our few fast food options in town. so, weekend nights i would end up - Andie Aug 25, 06:32
Damn. Sam Bradford is done for the year. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 25, 06:27 1

- It was probably their busiest draft day as well. I'd hate to be the guy that (was) in charge of FF. -- nm - spamlet Aug 25, 07:06
- [deleted] 3
  - *sigh* Do you have the complete draft history to populate with? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 06:33 2
    - [deleted] 1
      - Done. I'm greedy. I loved my draft, I don't want to do it again. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 06:40
- Seriously! - Krusty Aug 25, 06:25
STIS: What is the free zip program people are using these days? - amoxy Aug 25, 06:21 5
- winrar? -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:25 3
  - He's probably thinking of 7-zip really, but I honestly can't remember the last time I installed a ZIP program except to deal with RAR files -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 06:27 2
    - yup. 7zip can do a few things windows can't -- nm - decline Aug 25, 06:35
    - You're probably right. I actually had to install winrar yesterday. I hadn't used it in so long I just assumed I had it on my desktop. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:32
- Windows -- nm - oblique Aug 25, 06:21
ESPN Boston says Stevan Ridley won't make the Patriots 53 man roster. -- (link) - Inigo Aug 25, 06:20 6
- I just wonder which of my decent RB situations he's going to hose up by signing with that team. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 06:22
- [deleted] 4
  - I could see him benching or even demoting him, but cutting him is very surprising to me. -- nm - Inigo Aug 25, 06:30 2
    - I consider this to be a purpose pitch from within the organization. Cutting Ridley saves them less than a million in cap space. -- nm - David Aug 25, 06:58
    - [deleted]
  - Looks like I need to edit my keepers in my Movie Boss inherited team. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:28
What is it with artists today bombarding the market with multiple singles at once? - ty97 Aug 25, 06:19
The Leftovers has taught me one crucial thing. Don't get too angry at your kids because you never know when they'll (spoils) - CQ Aug 25, 06:10 3
- Probably the best episode so far - spoils - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:29 1
  - I'll have to watch it tonight. I'm curious now. -- nm - Inigo Aug 25, 06:32
- I will assume the (spoils) says "decide your nursing home" -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:16
Burger King looking to move to Canada by buying Tim Hortons -- (link) - znufrii Aug 25, 06:04 35
- I wish there were more Tim Hortons here. There used to be one near me in RI but it wasn't open very long. -- nm - kelly Aug 25, 06:13 9
  - Sub-poll #2: Which (BK or TH) is closer to where you live? To where you work? -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:14 8
    - BK a mile away....TH is a mythical fable you cruel bastards tease me with, like parents do with santa clause -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 25, 20:16
    - I doubt there is a TH within 500 miles of us. There is a BK right down the street. -- nm - David Aug 25, 06:56
    - Live and work - I've never been to a Tim Hortons -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:30
    - There are one of each at the mall across the street, but there are way more Tim's around here.... - Walt_Disney Aug 25, 06:29
    - BK for both, only TH in the area is at the stadiums. -- nm - znufrii Aug 25, 06:21
    - TH for both. There's only one BK in town. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:19
    - Its actually TH for me -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:16
    - BK -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:15
- this is all over the news here - and everyone I know had the same reaction - "I can't believe BK is worth more than Tim Hortons"\ - Andie Aug 25, 06:08 24
  - There is a BK in Square One across the street but I cant think of too many others around. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 25, 06:27
  - This phenomenon is known as Pauline Kael Syndrome. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 25, 06:14
  - Also if this is a subpoll: I ate at BK outside of Tulsa yesterday. -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:12 20
    - I can't recall the last time -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:31
    - i haven't eaten at a Burger King in, easily, a decade. -- nm - Andie Aug 25, 06:13 18
      - I hit a local one up probably once a week. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 06:21
      - I prefer their burger to McDonald's, if I had to choose. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:14 12
        
        I'm inclined to agree. I occasionally have a pair of double cheeseburgers for lunch. - David Aug 25, 06:55
        
        DQ is the best though. Their double cheeseburgers are perfection. The Flame Thrower is also glorious. -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:18 10
        
        I've never been to a DQ but I'll keep that in mind. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:24 9
        
        Like ever? So you have never had a Blizzard? -- nm - Shaun Aug 25, 06:31 4
        
        The number of chains not available in NYC has dwindled greatly over the years, but there are still some - ty97 Aug 25, 06:37 2
        
        For sure. I've never even seen a Cracker Barrel or places like that. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:43 1
        
        There is basically a Cracker Barrel every five miles in the south. -- nm - David Aug 25, 06:54
        
        Nope. Until recently the only DQ was far out in Queens near the border with Long Island. -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:35
        
        One just opened on 14th St I think. - ty97 Aug 25, 06:26 3
        
        If I'm near it I might stop in but I rarely if ever eat any fast food. - Krusty Aug 25, 06:36 2
        
        Skip the food, get a Blizzard. -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:38 1
        
        this -- nm - Epiphany Aug 25, 06:48
      - The exit we got gas at had two options: BK and Arby's -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:14 3
        
        (The BK fries were either surprisingly good or we were famished) -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:15 2
        
        You were famished. You should have ordered the BK burger and gone next door to the Arby's for curly fries - oblique Aug 25, 06:20 1
        
        This wasn't a site-seeing tour! -- nm - ty97 Aug 25, 06:22

Bacon, Kelly, JD -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 05:39 2
- How far into the draft do we get before someone takes a player that wasn't on Samara's team? -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 25, 06:00 1
  - I'm betting by the fifth pick -- nm - Krusty Aug 25, 06:04
Cavemen: I am done. znu back up. sending a draft list to Spawn and ML as the internet wouldn't work where we are -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 05:33 3

We've reached the part of #EverySimpsonsEver where it all falls apart, and we hope against hope that it will be the show we loved again. :( -- nm - Wil Wheaton ‏@wilw 11m Aug 24, 21:55 2

  - That single scene may be the funniest payoff in the entire series. - Mop Aug 24, 22:05
  - This episode is funny enough, but it doesn't really hold up in these more enlightened times. That said, the funniest bit is Bart on hunting - rollo Aug 24, 22:01 1
