My hope, the day after Daylight Savings, is that Apple uses its Apple Watch event to advocate for the end of Daylight Savings. -- nm - Mop Mar 9, 09:11 3
- The time has come to do away with our Roman Timekeeping and switch to the iTime clock system... -- nm - Ghost of Steve Jobs Mar 9, 09:16 2

I'm glad that the US Senate has finally figured out who is to blame for the poorly written and horrendously complicated tax code. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 9, 09:07 2

If we could get this TV for $350...would this be good? -- (link) - Mel Profit Mar 9, 08:25 8
- Best Buy also has 50in for $319 -- (link) - budice Mar 9, 08:49
- No smart tech, however. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 9, 08:43 2
  - just get a roku or firestick if you want those apps. -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:44
  - Buy that Roku that's on sale. -- nm - David Mar 9, 08:44
- Walmart has 50in TV on sale for the same price. -- (link) - budice Mar 9, 08:39 1
  - would you really pick a Hitachi or Sceptre brand over an LG for 3 inches? -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:41
- for that price? sure. Even if it only lasts a couple of years it's probably worth it. -- nm - decline Mar 9, 08:39
- I love my LG. -- nm - David Mar 9, 08:38
Republicans Warn Iran Against Nuclear Deal With Obama - amoxy Mar 9, 08:19 18
- I'll say what we're all thinking: Republicans are terrible people. -- nm - David Mar 9, 09:17 1
  - Selfish, me-first people at the very least - TWuG Mar 9, 09:21
- I have no doubt it's partially politically motivated but... - Mel Profit Mar 9, 08:24 15
  - I dunno. Why would Iran sign up to a deal if it believes it can be torn up? -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 08:40 7
    - It's terrible from a deal-making and policy standpoint to be unclear whether we can hold up our end. You can't make deals like that. -- nm - pmb Mar 9, 09:03
    - For starters, if they were planning on tearing it up in a couple years anyway. -- nm - Ender Mar 9, 09:02 4
      - By that logic, there would only be a deal if they intended to tear it up. -- nm - Roger More Mar 9, 09:15
      - That's just silly. They don't need us to undermine it if they intend to anyway. Either side can always tear up a deal. That's why there are - pmb Mar 9, 09:06 2
        
        For the record, my "they" was in reference to the Iranians. -- nm - Ender Mar 9, 09:21 1
        
        I got that. It doesn't change my answer. Whether they are planning on tearing it up later has nothing to do with whether we can't hold up our end. - pmb Mar 9, 09:22
    - I really wish we'd be more pragmatic about stuff like this. The damn GOP is an all-or-nothing body and All is rarely possible, so they - TWuG Mar 9, 08:44
  - I would be on board with that idea if the Republican Senate wasn't comprised of people with the strategic skills of Ted Cruz. - Will Hunting Mar 9, 08:27 6
    - agreed. They appear not to be terribly skilled, thoughtful or motivated other than by domestic political gain. - Mel Profit Mar 9, 08:43 5
      - If your read is that Iran is "crazy" I think you have a fundamental misunderstanding of them. - TWuG Mar 9, 08:47 4
        
        let me rephrase... - Mel Profit Mar 9, 08:52 3
        
        I really disagree. This goes to Netanyahu's view of the only acceptable deal is the perfect deal where we get everything they want and they get - pmb Mar 9, 09:08 1
        
        Iran ultimately has the weaker position. - Mel Profit Mar 9, 09:19
        
        It's only good if the Iranians are desperate for a deal. I don't think they are. - TWuG Mar 9, 08:58
36 degrees right, but we're supposed to hit 70. How am I supposed to dress for this?! -- nm - Mop Mar 9, 08:12 6

"Everybody, get ready to shoot Crota....." - David si Mar 9, 08:00 30
- I got in a great group last night for a Crota HM kill. 3 downs per sword, Crota dies on 2nd sword. - Shaun Mar 9, 08:18 22
  - we tried HM, we were not ready for that. -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:18 21
    - For the record I haven't done the entire CE on hard, just Crota. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:20 19
      - We had a hilarious hard run on the first section. - David Mar 9, 08:31 3
        
        I had the perk for increase running and sliding distance checked, using MIDA for speed, - groiny Mar 9, 08:40 2
        
        Were you also Bladedancing, with crouch to invis? Not even fair for the poor thralls. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:54 1
        
        yup -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:55
      - cheater -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:22 14
        
        There's nothing I want from the rest of the raid and I have all the drops I want from Crota. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:24 13
        
        The pulse and auto rifles are both great. -- nm - David Mar 9, 08:26 12
        
        I now have the Black Hammer, 2x Crota Heavy Machine Gun, Crota Rockets. - groiny Mar 9, 08:28 10
        
        Fang of Ir Yut. It's arc as well. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:28 9
        
        yeah, I need that -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:28 8
        
        How far did you guys get on HM? -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:29 7
        
        I don't remember, but I think we got to Deathsinger before we got lit up -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:41 6
        
        Yup. -- nm - David Mar 9, 08:43 5
        
        That fight is just pure chaos. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:49 4
        
        Just clearing it out after the Death Singer is dead can take 15 minutes. - David Mar 9, 08:54 3
        
        I have to think that's a bug of just an oversight. That's the only spot I can think of where hitting a checkpoint doesn't despawn the trash. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:57 2
        
        I think it's intentional. Standing on the plate despawns them. - David Mar 9, 08:58 1
        
        Ah. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 09:05
        
        Maybe, but I don't want them and would likely never use them. -- nm - Shaun Mar 9, 08:27
    - It's about firepower once you reach the Death Singer. - David Mar 9, 08:20
- *sigh* -- nm - David Mar 9, 08:04 6
  - is that supposed to be a truman si? -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:05 5
    - I really don't understand the delay in firing rockets. - David Mar 9, 08:08 4
      - there is some issue with velocity of the rockets, some take a while to get there. -- nm - groiny Mar 9, 08:10 3
        
        I know the ones I use are slower, I hit the trigger as soon as you say hit him. - groiny Mar 9, 08:11 2
        
        Hmm, I hadn't considered the lesser quality of people's weapons. - David Mar 9, 08:14 1
        
        yeah, the ones I was using do not track, so I have to shoot and hope he does not move. - groiny Mar 9, 08:17

  - Something that will be with you for years, won't be worth the price you paid, and will hurt every time you think about it.. - Inigo Mar 9, 08:12 1

Hey mop, don't feel bad about not getting tickets. Marvel Studios will skip Comic-Con this year. -- nm - Ultron Mar 9, 07:40 2
- I imagine they'll push the Disney fest hard this year. I wonder if they'll have a Star Wars presence at ComicCon at all, either. -- nm - Mop Mar 9, 07:49 1
  - Probably. For Marvel it is all about timing. Ultron will already be out and Ant-Man opens right after it ends. Then nothing until Cap next May. -- nm - Ultron Mar 9, 07:52

If you're looking for a Roku, the Roku 3 is about as cheap as it gets today. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 9, 07:11 5
- If you've got an earlier Roku, any reason to upgrade? -- nm - Mop Mar 9, 07:51 2
  - We had the two. The three is leaps and bounds better. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 08:29 1
    - So, what is it? Faster? -- nm - Mop Mar 9, 09:21
- One of the downsides to the Roku streaming stick is that when you plug it into another TV, you have to re-download every app again. - Inigo Mar 9, 07:16 1
  - No, I never have. I love my Roku 3. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 9, 07:48

It's time for everyone's favourite Monday game: "...Wait, did I remember my work keys?" -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 06:57 5
- You need a system. Carabiner those bad boys to your rucksack or something else you _always_ remember to bring to work. Or leave them in your car. Etc. -- nm - rollo Mar 9, 07:29 4
  - during the week it's easy and I just leave them in my console. It's Monday morning when I've info dumped for the weekend that becomes the issue. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 07:31
  - Better yet, keep them on the key ring with your car keys. -- nm - Ultron Mar 9, 07:31 1
    - no good with a giant ID/Security tag and 20 lbs of keys. -- nm - Reagen Mar 9, 07:31
  - better yet, just leave the office doors unlocked. -- nm - decline Mar 9, 07:30

Roo, what kind of smartphone are you looking for? Cheap off contract? -- nm - spamlet Mar 9, 06:46 3

  - Actually your IM is good as most RS stores will become Sprint stores. - spamlet Mar 9, 07:47 1

    - Breaking news: Chip Kelly returns from scouting trip to Kenya. -- nm - Baron Go Bragh Mar 9, 07:08
