Once again I forgot about the 3 day weekend. I won't be around for the FJS draft. I will setup my auto drafter -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 07:29 2
- I always seem to do better with autodraft as well. Shocker! -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 07:38

- they are both awful people. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 07:38 2
  - well, yes. - znufrii Aug 26, 07:39
  - ik, r? He's a tool with his device and she threw a cup of water in his face! -- nm - Diva Aug 26, 07:39
- ha! it's like you've never flown. i've tried this, you just get a nasty response. -- nm - colin Aug 26, 07:26
- That lock should be banned first of all. Second this is an airline issue over a passenger issue. - Bacon Aug 26, 07:21 14
  - "...by using a banned device to stop the seat in front reclining." -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:31 2
    - Ah the story I saw on the news this morning said the device was allowed or not allowed on a decision by the individual airlines. -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 07:33 1
      - correct. it's banned by the airline in question (and all other major domestic carriers, ftm), not the FAA -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 07:34
  - Because it's my knees? (also, deep vein thrombosis, in rare cases) - Reagen Aug 26, 07:22 10
    - I understand what you are saying. So the person that gets you behind them has a special rule others don't? - Bacon Aug 26, 07:27 9
      - This is something that should be solved by polite discussion. There's no "pass it backward" rule. -- nm - Roger More Aug 26, 07:31
      - If I'm telling you that what you're doing hurts me, you're kind of a special asshole to shrug your shoulders and keep doing it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 07:29 6
        
        my lower back kills on long flights - easing the seat back a bit helps - decline Aug 26, 07:45
        
        Do you try for the exit rows? -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:32 3
        
        yes, but you can't if you're flying with kids. -- nm - Reagen Aug 26, 07:33 2
        
        Stick them in the overhead bins? -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:34 1
        
        or if they're small enough, under the seat in front of you. -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 07:36
        
        I agree with that - Bacon Aug 26, 07:31
      - I would vote to make all chairs stay fixed btw. Kind of solves the issue -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 07:28
- Right, because people that do this often, often listen to requests. - Reagen Aug 26, 07:17 6
  - the one time someone reclined so far back that i couldn't move, i just kept *accidentally* kneeing their seat. - Andie Aug 26, 07:39
  - Is the appropriate payback to grab the back of the seat whenever you need to stand up? - Roger More Aug 26, 07:25 3
    - That's what I do. Especially if they recline pre-takeoff before I get into my seats. - spamlet Aug 26, 07:32
    - I ended up switching seats with my (7 months pregnant!) wife, and grabbing the seat was unavoidable due to physics. - Reagen Aug 26, 07:28
    - i just make sure i'm really farty. i unleash hell on the surrounding area. - colin Aug 26, 07:27
  - at least you had the courtesy to ask. -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 07:23

- Think about the Bryan Cranston/Julia Louis-Dreyfus kiss instead. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 07:00
i hate that something like Sherlock, that has actual Seasons of shows, qualifies as a 'mini series or movie'. - Andie Aug 26, 06:43 5
- "Only on the #Emmys are individual #Sherlock episodes movies, 10 eps of #Fargo is a miniseries, and 8 eps of #TrueDetective a series." -- nm -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:09 1
  - this person is correct. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 07:10
- The primary requirement for being submitted as a miniseries these days is thinking you can't win Best Drama. -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 06:45 2
  - yeah, that needs to change. they need limits on number of episodes, etc, to qualify. -- nm - Andie Aug 26, 06:45 1
    - Course, let's not forget that after 3 'seasons' of Sherlock, it's shown as much television as one cable drama series season - Will Hunting Aug 26, 06:51

    - Watch Yahoo F it up again. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 26, 07:47
- And we already have one drafter that can not make it. This really is a no win. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:11 11
  - it is what it is. -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 07:12 10
    - [deleted] 9
      - Completely understand. I would just hate if like crash was not available. He busted his ass to be there for most of the draft so if it comes out he is - Spawn Aug 26, 07:27
      - yup, that's fair. - znufrii Aug 26, 07:16 7
        
        [deleted] 6
        
        probably not. - znufrii Aug 26, 07:20 5
        
        Be sure to go in and set your predraft stuff. - Spawn Aug 26, 07:28
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        yeah, I'll have to take a look at that - znufrii Aug 26, 07:35
        
        And I think all those that do make it can agree not to nominate and garbage players to nail those that did not. -- nm - Spawn Aug 26, 07:29 1
        
        Yeah, in this special case I think we could all be nicey nice. -- nm - Bacon Aug 26, 07:36
- Just remember as my wife reminded me. This is a three day weekend so some might be away - Bacon via Google Nexus 10 Aug 26, 06:47 2

- I have a ridiculously busy day between 11 and 3:30. This is gonna suck. - Krusty Aug 26, 06:06 7
  - [deleted] 5
    - I tried making one but I'm not really sure how. So much depends on who gets drafted ahead and if there's a run. I've never done it before - Krusty Aug 26, 06:21 4
      - What helps me is to choose who I'd want on my team if I could pick anyone. - Inigo Aug 26, 06:33 1
        
        Thanks. I'll give that a try when I get home later and likely use it for tomorrow. -- nm - Krusty Aug 26, 06:43
      - But thank you! - Krusty Aug 26, 06:22 1
        
        [deleted]
  - Same for tomorrow too. - Krusty Aug 26, 06:07
"as you should remember from Pre-calc 2..." - znufrii Aug 26, 05:47 4
- A pre-req is a pre-req. -- nm - nubby Aug 26, 06:08
- Wouldn't that just be Calc 1? -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 06:05 2
  - I don't run the math department. -- nm - znufrii Aug 26, 06:10
  - Quarter school, maybe? -- nm - nubby Aug 26, 06:07

Arby’s $10 diet buster, the fast-food giant is rolling out a sandwich that will contain at least half a pound of assorted meats and cheeses. -- (link) - Under the Influence Aug 26, 02:55 2
- Is half a pound even a big sandwich these days? -- nm - Ender Aug 26, 05:23 1
  - For $10, it'd better be more than half a pound. -- nm - Was Bar Was Aug 26, 05:53
Beginning of a boycott? -- (link) - CovingtonCat Aug 26, 02:52 2
