I always thought that most of the anti-vaxxers were far left. Now seeing Laura Ingram involved, is it across the political spectrum? -- nm - amoxy Feb 2, 11:56 8
- It's the fringes on both sides but the most vocal are the hippies. -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 11:58 4
  - I do think of it as a hippie issue - Sherman Feb 2, 11:59 3
    - The right only wants to be left alone. It's the hippies that try to convert you. -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 12:05
    - Strongly disagree. - Ultron Feb 2, 12:00 1
      - You speak from experience? -- nm - amoxy Feb 2, 12:01

  - "She's made of viral matter, sir! I assure you, she can... and she will." -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 11:57

    - I did enjoy sensing his pain after mocking Revis. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 2, 12:00 2
      - Me too. At a time he should have been celebrating Baldwin's TD he was more interested in showing up Revis. Eff him. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 12:05 1
        
        But then again, at the same time Baldwin was celebrating his own TD by miming taking a dump in the end zone so screw all of them, they're gross. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 12:13
  - He needs to be flashing those digits again. -- nm - Ultron Feb 2, 11:58 1
    - We lost by this many points! -- nm - Sherman Feb 2, 11:59
- It is an interesting human social thing to notice how many people look to the other people in the room to gauge how they should react -- nm - oblique Feb 2, 11:51
- My reaction was close to that first one, and I'm not even that much of a football freak. - Mop Feb 2, 11:51

Raspberry Pi 2 is out. It's faster and will run Windows 10 -- (link) - spamlet Feb 2, 11:46 1

  - we're getting 6 - 12+ area depending right now. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 11:46 2
    - AT-ATs, while menacing, are really not that structurally sound. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:54 1

100 years ago today, German agents tried to blow up a bridge between Canada and the US during WWI -- (link) - Beaker Feb 2, 11:33 3
- they weren't the best agents as they bombed it to stop Japan from sending an army to Canada... -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 11:36
- Leaving us no choice but to drive around Detroit to get to Toronto. Those bastards. -- nm - Max Feb 2, 11:35
- Those Germans, always dragging us into things, like when they bombed Pearl Harbor. -- nm - Polar Baron Feb 2, 11:34
I need to speak to someone about my Roth IRA. Who's available on FB? -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 11:33 8
- What do you need? -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 11:38 7
  - I am not pleased with my current holdings and wish to re-invest them into something more lucrative yet risky. - Mop Feb 2, 11:40 6
    - No, you can buy/sell at any time. There will be commissions on both sides unless you own something that is commission free by your broker. - spamlet Feb 2, 11:52 5
      - Yeah, I'm thinking a tech fund for high risk, high return, or S&P index for pure unadulterated income. -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 11:54 4
        
        For tech funds, you'll only be able to invest in public companies. You can't invest in something like Uber. - spamlet Feb 2, 11:58
        
        Now I just gotta figure out how to work this Fidelity interface. FML. -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 11:56 1
        
        Okay, if you're Fidelity, they do offer commission free ETFs and Fidelity funds. - spamlet Feb 2, 12:02
        
        I owuld do a bond fund for pure unadulterated income, but then I'm old-fashoned. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:55

- "Are you concussed?" "No?" "You pass!" -- nm - spamlet Feb 2, 11:40 1

- But with prices 10% higher than usual! -- nm - Mop Feb 2, 11:08 2
  - I was in yesterday...not a lot of goods on the shelves. I actually thought I had missed the sell off it was so empty -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 11:38 1
    - Ouch. The only thing that could be ok might be the electronics prices, but even then, do I really want to deal with the chaos? -- nm - Shaun Feb 2, 11:48

    - twerking poodle = truly disturbed -- nm - call me Ishmael Feb 2, 11:20 1
      - Almost as bad as twerking Katie Couric. -- nm - Ultron Feb 2, 11:32

- Deadspin has an article up about this. Conspiracy against Lynch -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 11:04 2
  - I was referring to that ML link on B2 (which my be the same "info"). -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:07 1
    - ahh, I saw the post, but didn't know he linked. -- nm - Beaker Feb 2, 11:08
- Truth. -- nm - budice Feb 2, 11:02
Shaun, I think Seattle was basically saying by letting the clock run down that it ended there. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 10:52 26
- Pete Carroll confirmed they let the clock run down on purpose. -- nm - budice Feb 2, 11:05
- And I think we can all agree that if Russell throws that ball 2 feet more to the receiver, or the NE CB doesn't make a perfect read, - Will Hunting Feb 2, 10:59 13
  - I've been on the good end of a few SBs, but I can't even imagine the euphoric state Pats fans felt when the INT occurred. - Shaun Feb 2, 11:02 9
    - Did you see that graph Ray Ray posted? -- nm - Ultron Feb 2, 11:15 2
      - No. Link me! -- nm - Shaun Feb 2, 11:16 1

    - Diva shattered windows. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 11:04 5
      - the roller coaster of that after the Kearse catch was about as hi-low as you can get. I still kind of don't know what to do with myself - Diva Feb 2, 11:06 4
        
        I mean, I've got Tyree, which was amazing, but the INT was amazingly unbelievable. -- nm - Shaun Feb 2, 11:08 2
        
        we won't see the likes of the Tyree Catch again. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 11:10 1
        
        no, we'll just get Kearse where I mean "CURSE" and have heart attacks every time. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:12
        
        I gotta tell ya...that Kearse Catch brought back bad memories. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 2, 11:08
  - Yep, Russell led that ball too far out front. Almost like he didn't see the defender there. -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 11:00 2
    - see where Butler started. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 11:01 1
      - It's as good a play as the DB made stripping the ball from Lee Evans but on a bigger stage. -- nm - Inigo Feb 2, 11:05
- Hey, nmb W - kelly Feb 2, 10:57 10
  - Nathan has to clean up any messes. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 10:59
  - What is wrong with the pooch? -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 10:59 8
    - He helped himself to half a bowl of oatmeal raisin cookie dough while I was in the bathroom. - kelly Feb 2, 11:03 7
      - Ooof. Best wishes to the poochie :( -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 11:15
      - ugh. Our dog got into a box of raisins once. We had to force peroxide (?) down her throat and make her run around outside until she started puking. - spamlet Feb 2, 11:12 4
        
        The vet put a dissolving pill under his eyelid; he was sick within 3 minutes. - kelly Feb 2, 11:15 3
        
        I knew chocolate was bad but had no idea about raisins. Also know onions are bad -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 11:17 2
        
        Yeah, grapes/raisins are highly toxic to dogs. -- nm - kelly Feb 2, 11:18 1
        
        I hope he turns out fine. -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 11:22
      - dang. good luck to the puppy. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:10
I finally got around to reading the article about the cluster that the Jays have created in Toronto and I nearly spit out lunch at this bit. - spamlet Feb 2, 10:50
The one thing that everybody on both sides agrees on is that Butler made an incredible play. - David Feb 2, 10:49 12
- Also, Seattle's vaunted defense got its ass kicked in two straight games. -- nm - David Feb 2, 10:54 4
  - I don't think they got their asses kicked in the GB game.Rodgers only had 178 yds and GB only had one TD - amoxy Feb 2, 10:58 3
    - That's a fair point. My judgment is clouded by the fact that GB was clearly the better team that day. -- nm - David Feb 2, 11:03
    - The GB game was about how anemic the Seattle Offense was IMO. Until the last 4 minutes that is -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 11:01 1
      - this. their D held a very strong GB offense to ALL THE FIELD GOALS. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:04
- not to mention the stop the play before. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 2, 10:54 6
  - This has been lost too. I noticed that at the time, it was a hell of a thing to keep Lynch out there. -- nm - Reagen Feb 2, 11:09 5
    - not only to stop him but to get him for a lose. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 11:18 3
      - IIRC no one has scored a TD on the Pats in the 4th quarter this year. -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 11:20 2
        
        Wait until next week! - Ultron Feb 2, 11:47 1
        
        :) -- nm - Diva Feb 2, 12:09
