  - The drones are watching. -- nm - Ultron Jan 16, 21:33
- Relatedly: Amazon keeps sending me notices about European nations VAT 99 Problems and I'm like, research how much I should charge for each country? - Qale Jan 16, 21:27 3
  - They're the ones selling your work there. Shouldn't they know? -- nm - tobor.2 Jan 16, 21:54 2
    - Eh. They're just kind of winging it, I presume. I've got them all set to adjust to whatever is close to what US people pay. -- nm - Qale Jan 16, 21:58 1
      - There's an app for that - trish Jan 16, 23:35

      - Well, yes. I didn't say I would do it. :-) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 21:55 1
        
        (But, the effect would basically be a signal boost, like when people pay for premium ads on classified sites and such) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 16, 21:56
      - Yeah, I am thinking this might be BAD idea. -- nm - Ultron Jan 16, 21:41 4

None of that oddball religious inspired malfeasance in the Oscars this year? -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 21:10
Wait, the kid that lied about "coming back from heaven" (I mean, but...) is named Malarkey? - Reagen Jan 16, 21:04 1
- It's just one of countless similar books. "Heaven is for Real" is the grand daddy of them all, though. -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 21:08
Tax people, why would the IRS send me a slip of paper saying I had earned interest? - Mop Jan 16, 20:58 5
- Is this a 1099INT or something else? Are they saying they paid it to you, or you earned it somewhere else? -- nm - Meg Jan 16, 21:41 4
  - Oh yeah, there it is. 1099-INT. -- nm - Mop Jan 16, 22:06 3

Krusty, I want the white mid 30's Packard resto-mod they previewed a few minutes ago -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 18:43 2
- I want just about every muscle car that come across the stage. But that Packard was crazy. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 18:49 1
  - when it is on the block we will see how crazy. I want tasteful, not over the top. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 18:55

- Az. has been for 40 years. they started out selling pre war and expanded. this is their home turf and the biggest sale of their year. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 18:24 4

No one answered Craig Ferguson? -- nm - tobor.2 Jan 16, 17:53 9
- Norm Macdonald: His Twitter presence suggests he would be a fascinating hang. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 16, 21:56 2
  - Really? I do not follow him but just looked. All I saw was retweets and him play calling the Denver game. -- nm - Ultron Jan 16, 22:06 1
    - It's a body of work. He's engaging, a bit of a story-teller, with not a whiff of pretension. He also ebbs and flows sometimes, so maybe he's on... - Name Withheld By Request Jan 16, 23:30
- Hannibal Buress and Bill Burr would be my choices. Amy Schumer was already mentioned. Kumail Nanjiani would fit in well. -- nm - Krusty Jan 16, 18:09 2

Dear self: Being that it is the dead of winter, you may have forgotten how the microwave running at the same time as the LR A/C sometimes trips - ty97 Jan 16, 17:02 13
- which probably means the whole building is not up to code :( -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 17:13 11
  - It's rent stabilized, I can deal with a code violation or three. -- nm - ty97 Jan 16, 17:22 9
    - I know, but i'm more worried about a neighbor burning down the building with an accidental electrical fire -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 17:28 8
      - I'm not an electrician, but if you overload a circuit, isn't it suppose to trip itself? Isn't that a designed safety mechanism? -- nm - ty97 Jan 16, 17:30 7
        
        Providing someone hasn't hack it to allow it to carry a heavier load. - tobor.2 Jan 16, 17:41
        
        i'm just paranoid. ignore me :) -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 17:32 4
        
        I see a lot of home repair shows. some code fixes done in the 1960's are now considered dangerous fire hazzards. - Peglegpete Jan 16, 17:38 3
        
        Hazard, one "z", just sayin'. - Andie Jan 16, 18:28 2
        
        I keep meaning to tell you about this place... -- (link) - tobor.2 Jan 16, 18:35 1
        
        heh. cool. -- nm - Andie Jan 16, 18:36
        
        It probably will, but you probably also don't want to be relying on that. -- nm - Reagen Jan 16, 17:32
  - it was up to code when it last passed inspection - zeitgeist Jan 16, 17:18
- Do you have another circuit in your apartment? And a long extension cord? -- nm - tobor.2 Jan 16, 17:11
Now playing: Constantine, 12 Monkeys and Helix. -- nm - Ultron Jan 16, 16:58
CQ, I was dubious going in, but Paddington was actually really charming and funny. Nm - ralph wiggum Jan 16, 16:48 3
- Oh, I think it'll be decent, I just was realizing that my movie going experiences for the next few years are going to be kid ones :) -- nm - CQ Jan 16, 17:51 1
  - the look of awe as a little kid watches their first films is the BEST! takes me back to my own first movies ... So great! -- nm - JenBro Jan 16, 18:08
- this will make a friend happy. we talked earlier and he dreaded sitting thru it with his kids -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 16, 16:53
Randy Johnson going into the HOF as a Diamondback is surprising. I would have thought no logo since he did so well in Seattle. - Krusty Jan 16, 16:46 2
- Maddux was equally loyal to the Cubs as Braves. He chose the no logo. - tobor.2 Jan 16, 16:54
- A lot usually rides on how they left their teams. -- nm - Ultron Jan 16, 16:47

- Awwww - motor runnin too or just silent? -- nm - JenBro Jan 16, 18:09 1

  - Berry -- nm - zork Jan 16, 16:47 4
    - dammit: Very, is there a way to have the user name pop up if you touch a handle on mobile -- nm - zork Jan 16, 16:48 3
      - Theoretically, but theoretically monkeys might fly out of my butt at any moment. - Beryllium Jan 16, 16:53 1
