- Yeah, that whole thing kind of pisses me off. It's also the most useful part of Waze. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 27, 18:25
RogerMore, can funds hold OW warrants, derivative, BWs, Oscar noms, etc related to their eligible films? -- nm - ty97 Jan 27, 18:13 3
- sure as long as that criteria is spelled out in the proposal and prospectus. -- nm - Diva Jan 27, 18:37 1
  - Yep. My weasel words are "Any derivatives, options and warrants related to qualifying Moviestocks or Starbonds." -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 18:47
- I am not RM, but I bought all the funds for my big port the other night. I noticed some have some of those. like so.. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 27, 18:25

- it's not free pizza for a year. it's 5, $100 pizza gift cards. or as Will would say, "$500 of pizza is a snack." -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 27, 18:25 1
  - Yup, I once won 'free bread for a year.' It was 52 x $3.50 coupons. I gave them to a food bank :) -- nm - Meg Jan 27, 18:33

Exciting match at the Australian Open. -- nm - Dano Jan 27, 18:07
the first song on this week's spotify new music tuesday list is profane (mf, f, n, and more) and dirty. what a start! (jeremih and j. cole). -- nm - b. Jan 27, 18:06 2
- omg, I almost snorted (in the most ladylike, corporate way possible) at this one. "truffle butter" nicki minaj, drake, lil wayne. nsfw-nsfw nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 27, 18:20 1
  - Yeesh. I'm good with the dirty lyrics but the Drake "rhymes" are awful. - Krusty Jan 27, 18:34
Another grand slam for Parks&Rec. -- nm - nubby Jan 27, 17:59
PSA: New CSI on tonight at 10. 3 episodes left, and if they really cancel it (rage) they better have a good send off. -- nm - MDH Jan 27, 17:54
Wells Fargo museum in San Francisco robbed of gold nuggets... -- (link) - Meg Jan 27, 17:32 3
- poor planning, should've done it a couple years ago. -- nm - mafic Jan 27, 18:02
- it's usual to steal your cars and swop plates, a few nuggets could weigh enough - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 17:45
- if the suv was one of the robbers own cars and not stolen, he lost out -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 27, 17:34
Parks & Recs spoilers - Beaker Jan 27, 17:22

- Holy crap I forgot the new season started. All seasons are great -- nm - Epiphany Jan 27, 17:17
There is a new restaurant near my house (I may have mentioned it) that has a Chinese and Japanese buffet. Lucky Village, they call it. - Beryllium Jan 27, 16:49 13
- my favorite weddings are when two pacific island, Asian cultures but out two buffets, each seems to want to show how it's supposed to be done -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 17:48
- We have one we go to a lot. It's thoroughly mediocre, but my mom loves it - con_carne Jan 27, 17:35
- Very European. ;) - tobor.2 Jan 27, 17:04
- this place? 4 recent reviews at another site, most of which look independent. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jan 27, 17:03 3
  - That's the one, but two of those reviews sound like they were written by staff. Heh. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 17:16 2
    - I thought 3 might be independent when I skimmed; but, yah, that third might not be. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 17:31
    - Not so hot on urbanspoon (and again, the first review sounds like it was written by staff or family. Again with the curtain colour.) -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 27, 17:24
- if you go there, will a city health inspection result be posted on the door? -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 27, 16:53 1
  - No, that's not how things are done here. Health inspections are posted online on an ancient site that uses frames (eww) - that's why I built my site -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 17:17
- If a restaurant claims to serve two types of food, it does neither of them well. -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 16:53 3
  - what about fusion restaurants, like Jose Andres' China Pablano? -- (link) - Peglegpete Jan 27, 16:55 2
    - Right, fusion is one type - this purports to do two types. Types that I feel are very different. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 17:18
    - That's one type of food -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 17:00
the movie Jaws retold as a Peanuts comic -- (link) - Remlik Jan 27, 16:42 1
- Fantastic. -- nm - nubby Jan 27, 16:45
Ouagadougou is the best world capital. that is all. -- nm - mafic Jan 27, 16:40 2

- hush hush - CQ Jan 27, 16:43
Cow-orker just came up and asked me about Presidents day holiday and whether we get it off. She will, but not the rest of us - amoxy Jan 27, 16:33 2
- Do you want the good news, or the bad news? -- nm - Roger More Jan 27, 16:53
- ouch -- nm - loosi at home Jan 27, 16:37
i need a new small vacuum. most likely cordless, possible one that is a vacuum and a small handheld thing too. any suggestions? -- nm - Truman Jan 27, 16:25 15
- We have this one that we got at Costco for about $80. My only complaint is that it doesn't stand on it's own. -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 27, 18:23
- dyson -- nm - Karl_S Jan 27, 18:15
- so basically that guy recommends this for a small stick vacuum -- (link) - Truman Jan 27, 17:05 6
  - Pricey but he seems to love that brand for their durability. People have their canister vacuums for 20+ years. Not sure if you'd get that out of this - Krusty Jan 27, 17:16 5
    - yeah, i was hoping for something less than $100. just need it to clean up the dustbunnies and the rugs in my house. -- nm - Truman Jan 27, 17:51 4
      - so i am thinking about this one. -- (link) - Truman Jan 27, 17:53 3
        
        or this -- (link) - Truman Jan 27, 17:54 2
        
        or this -- (link) - Truman Jan 27, 17:56 1
        
        I like this one and the previous one. Prices look good as do the reviews. -- nm - Krusty Jan 27, 18:36
- Here's an AMA from a vacuum technician. He makes a few recommendations based on different types. - Krusty Jan 27, 16:35 2
  - Here's a table of the questions and answers. -- (link) - Krusty Jan 27, 16:36 1
    - Last one: Here's his most recent AMA. -- (link) - Krusty Jan 27, 16:38
- here -- (link) - budice Jan 27, 16:33
- me too. what you got ST? -- nm - CQ Jan 27, 16:27 1

- I was still making adjustments to 2014 for one of my employees today. - Max Jan 27, 18:22

- Canadas equivelent T4's are not required to be sent until the end of February. -- nm - Walt_Disney Jan 27, 16:33
- I would have but the software company didn't send me the forms until last week -- nm - amoxy Jan 27, 16:30
- i'm not sure why you think they would be. I mean, does your last payperiod end exactly on 12/31? do you get paid that same day? - Truman Jan 27, 16:24 10
  - Yes. Yes. No. - ty97 Jan 27, 16:28 9
    - do other people in the company? my understanding is that the accounting isn't typically finalised until a few somewhat after the pay period either way -- nm - mafic Jan 27, 16:33
    - and yet, it doesnt technicall process until the next year. its accounting, not rocket science, therefore its slow -- nm - Truman Jan 27, 16:31 7
      - OK, let me amend: I can't understand why W-2s aren't available on January 2. -- nm - ty97 Jan 27, 16:35 6
        
        seriously! its not like you work for a huge company or anything! your accounting dept must be lazy -- nm - decline Jan 27, 17:57
        
        why do you hate your payroll department? -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 16:39 4
        
        So am I to believe that the payroll department is working on Christmas Eve until midnight determining people's pay? - ty97 Jan 27, 16:46 1
        
        only if every single person is salaried and doesn't get paid OT. They also wouldn't be able to finish anything till the last pay cheque went out -- nm - Beaker Jan 27, 16:48
        
        i know right, ty doesnt want to let them drink all new years and take the day after off. seriously man. -- nm - Truman Jan 27, 16:43 1

CNN just showed a few surfers off Long Island. 16 foot waves, they loved it. -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 27, 16:21
You know what you just don't see ads for on TV any more? Travelers checks -- nm - prayformojo Jan 27, 15:58 11
- I'll be honest, I've never really understood how they work. I mean I understand the cheque part, but the actual cashing with all the signatures - mafic Jan 27, 16:45 1
  - olden days people had signatures, not scribble scrawls. Amex would replace lost,stolen checks...this of course is also covered by credit companies - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 17:39
- My MIL was the last holdout on those, until someone from her tour group politely told her not to use them anymore. - Reagen Jan 27, 16:35
- they were in a recent episode of "mindy" and I thought, "huh, haven't thought of those in a long time." I actually received one as a gift some years - b. Jan 27, 16:07
- you don't need letters of transit anymore either -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 16:06
- Are they still a thing? Just use an ATM when you get to your destination. -- nm - spamlet Jan 27, 16:01 4
  - I used them. Especially after the ATM ate my card the first day of a 3 and half week trip. - tobor.2 Jan 27, 17:06
  - I tried to get some for a Vegas trip a few years ago. It was like I sent the poor bank teller on the quest for the Holy Grail. -- nm - nubby Jan 27, 16:12
  - yep, and make sure you have a 4 digit pin. -- nm - loosi at home Jan 27, 16:05 1
    - there is more money in wire transfer -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Jan 27, 16:07
- Karl Malden's dead :((( -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 27, 16:00
hey, pfm, when you "wake up" tomorrow, will you remind me that I have a meeting at 8 in the 329 building? thanks. -- nm - homeslice amanda Jan 27, 15:53 2
- got it -- nm - prayformojo Jan 27, 15:58 1
  - thanks again. laughing. -- nm - homeslice amanda Jan 27, 16:01

  - Spike Lee? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 27, 15:35

- And speaking of reading goals... everyone do this! - Cuzzin Todd Jan 27, 17:05 1
  - I don't really need a number goal. this reminded me, though, of something I saw recently -- for anyone who needs reading ideas, it may be fun. (link) - b. Jan 27, 17:30
- I could never. I read so slow. -- nm - loosi at home Jan 27, 16:06 1
  - I've gone back to reading on the bus to and from work, rather than reading on my phone. - ReluctantCynic Jan 27, 16:28
- Suggest something I might like. I've enjoyed Christopher Moore's stuff and a lot of the Preston & Child mysteries. - Meg Jan 27, 15:40 11
  - Thank you all !! With any luck some of these will show up on the bookstore shelves. I just have to remember to start carrying a list. -- nm - Meg Jan 27, 16:41
  - Have you read the Peculiar Crimes Unit mysteries? - ReluctantCynic Jan 27, 16:26 3
    - Those sound like I might enjoy them - thanks. -- nm - Meg Jan 27, 16:32 2

    - I agree with wiggums. Lincoln Lawyer books are good. Also, if you like that book you linked, check out Bill Bryson. - ReluctantCynic Jan 27, 16:32 1
      - I think I've read all the Bryson books :) -- nm - Meg Jan 27, 16:39
    - Have you tried any of the Lincoln Lawyer books? They are fun, easy reads to start the year. - ralph wiggum Jan 27, 15:55

  - I internet-knew some folks who did a Little Golden Books club, looked fun. -- nm - b. Jan 27, 15:29
  - Each volume of Garfield counts as one as well, right? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 27, 15:26 2
