- isn't she the highest paid woman on television? -- nm - Andie Mar 13, 08:56 5

  - This is a great point -- nm - Flavorize Mar 13, 09:17

Dano/Greg W: I just watched the Pally episode of Late Late Show. That was utterly insane and yet hysterical. I would watch that nightly. -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 08:28 6
- I want to catch this sometime. -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 08:32 4
  - GregW linked the full episode below too. -- nm - MDH Mar 13, 08:35 1

This American flag controversy at UC Irvine has turned into something reminiscent of the flag burning amendment stuff from a while back - con_carne Mar 13, 08:25 4
- [deleted] 2
  - And you know these protesters don't give a damn about the students. e.g.I'd like to know how many of them were out protesting the latest tuition hikes - con_carne Mar 13, 08:44
  - I get the power of symbols. I have trouble getting the value of every version of one, though. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:30
- Those people... have too much time on your hands. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:26

ISIS’ Worst Nightmare: An Axe-Wielding Badass Known As ‘Angel Of Death’ -- (link) - Remlik Mar 13, 08:19 1

another crazy Halo sniper kill -- (link) - Remlik Mar 13, 08:16 17
- Something something grassy knoll -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 08:24
- How'd it kill the 2nd guy? - Will Hunting Mar 13, 08:22 2
  - it came back in the other direction - Reagen Mar 13, 08:26
  - As Ray Ray said above, there was a second gunman! -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:25
- What's Halo??? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:17 12
  - a game I'm gonna move back to. Getting bored with the same stuff in Destiny all the time -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:19 11
    - Good, I haven't played much multiplayer. Supposedly it's fixed now. -- nm - J Mar 13, 08:35 1
      - What a fail of a launch. Of all the things to be completely broken on release... -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 09:00
    - you really do not do much crucible, do you? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:22 6
      - I've been doing more and that's fun.... -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:32 5
        
        I highly suggest doing Iron Banner next week. - groiny Mar 13, 08:34 4
        
        He should have tried inferno control. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 08:47 3
        
        The link to the IB page on Bungie.net shows the auto rifle and the sniper rifle. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:53 2
        
        I think it always shows that, though. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 09:04 1
        
        Ah ok, if it's a static page, then ignore me. I would definitely be in the market for an ES though. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 09:06
    - dying? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:21 1
      - no...carrying you and the others as I clear out the ground troops! - Remlik Mar 13, 08:33
If you're ever wondering what math teachers do for fun, it can include things like "deriving a formula for pi based on limits". -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 08:10
The Japanese trailer for TOmorrowland -- (link) - Remlik Mar 13, 08:09 1
- very spoilerific -- nm - Remlik Mar 13, 08:11
A little cooler weather tonight has convinced me it's a cajun jambalaya night. -- nm - CQ Mar 13, 08:04 2
- We made jambalaya for the first time a few weeks ago. Flavour was amazing but the rice we used didn't hold together too well so it was a tough goopy. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 08:05 1
  - I haven't done this in a very long time. I expect it to not be perfect :) -- nm - CQ Mar 13, 08:21
I don't know very much about the case, but how does that Survivor producer only get 12 years in prison for killing his wife? -- nm - Diva Mar 13, 07:56 2
- she was asking for it. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:57
- Mexican justice! - decline Mar 13, 07:57
tomorrow is 3/14/15 - decline Mar 13, 07:55 10
- relatedly, i wonder if anyone will be doing something special at 16:17:18 tomorrow afternoon ., . . -- nm - call me Ishmael Mar 13, 08:20
- Saturday the 14th! Man, when is the last time anyone has watched that movie? -- nm - Jovian Mar 13, 07:57 4
  - you mean this Saturday the 14th! ? - call me Ishmael Mar 13, 08:08 [youtube] 3
    - yes! -- nm - Jovian Mar 13, 08:12 2
      - for the moment, the full movie is available on youtube . . . should anyone have an hour and a half, to, ahem, kill . . . - call me Ishmael Mar 13, 08:19 1
        
        I remember it well enough. Would enjoy watching Modern Problems again, though. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 09:04
- But more importantly it is Steak and a BJ Day! -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:56 3
  - if I skip the steak, can I double up on the BJ -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:58 2
    - No means no. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:59 1
      - unless it means yes -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:59
Hey bery, when you click on a post, your tab says you are Backboarding now? -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:54 5
- Ah, good question. It used to say "Reading a Post", but now I think I can modify it to have part of the post in the tab title too. - Beryllium Mar 13, 08:23 2
  - bery, dig *up*! -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:39
  - This gave me a chuckle. Makes it sound alive. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 08:38
- I get that as well. -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 08:16
- just for you -- nm - decline Mar 13, 07:54
Talk about burying the lede: 250 males a year in South Africa have their penis amputated (!) as a result of bad circumcisions (!) -- (link) - ty97 Mar 13, 07:40 2
- that's a whole lot of potential Varys' -- nm - Jovian Mar 13, 07:51
- Law of averages! -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:41
I am gonna be out of strange coins after tonight. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:37 34
- How many heavy synths do you think you'll need to buy? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 08:37 2
  - Red Death, Knucklehead, and probably the Titan Helmet as well. - groiny Mar 13, 08:39 1
    - I don't think I'll even buy any synths this time. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 08:56
- I only have 15 at the moment. Ugh. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:40 30
  - when you ran the weekly, did you run it on level 30? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:47 16
    - truman was leader, so I would assume. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:48 15
      - you should have got 9 just from that. so you only had 6 laying around? -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:50 14
        
        Got a few synths for running Crota last weekend. Wondering if I missed running it last week or something. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:52 13
        
        I spend strange coins like water, and I still have 73. - groiny Mar 13, 07:54 10
        
        I have not had one pop up randomly in ages. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:07 9
        
        IMO, you are not spending your time wisely. - groiny Mar 13, 08:11 8
        
        The patrol bounties can be really quick. Especially if you don't do them solo. - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 08:32 6
        
        I have converted between 8 and 15 blues every night for at least 10 nights in a row and got *squat*. - Ultron Mar 13, 08:36 2
        
        Do you crucible? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 09:10
        
        but you are getting cryptarch rank with every one you turn in, when you go up a level he might drop you strange coins. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:43
        
        the Earth ones send you all over the planet to complete them, it sucks. - groiny Mar 13, 08:36 2
        
        You know how to read the symbols to tell what patrol mission it is, right? - the wrong element, bad guy Mar 13, 09:17
        
        Public Events and Crota seem easier on the Moon. As in a specific area and frequency. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:38
        
        True. I tend to knock out the patrol missions first and work my way up but with less time that no longer makes sense. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:12
        
        or you ran it on the lowest level last week. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:53 1
        
        Yeah, meant missed running it on the top level. So 3 instead of 9. That is possible. - Ultron Mar 13, 07:55
  - wtf? - groiny Mar 13, 07:42 12
    - I'll be running 3 weeklys tonight to replenish. Red Death + more heavy synths + whatever else. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:44 11
      - Is it true that you get all 9 when you run it on the hardest level? -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 07:47 10
        
        Yep. I shall claim my 27 SCs this evening. -- nm - Shaun Mar 13, 07:50 7
        
        Last night I was thinking about it and decided that if I end up starting a second character I will abandon the first. - Ultron Mar 13, 08:00 6
        
        Don't think of it as work. Plus you'll randomly acquire armour for a different class, so when you have 4 legendary pieces it's an insta-27 character. - Shaun Mar 13, 08:04 3
        
        yup, I have an exotic Warlock chestprice and purple warlock gloves sitting in the vault. - groiny Mar 13, 08:07
        
        It is more about time. I only have so much time to play, and I am *way* behind on DVR as it is. -- nm - Ultron Mar 13, 08:06 1
        
        It's not like I have infinite time and I do 3 characters. Once you get geared well enough, things become easier. - Shaun Mar 13, 08:10
        
        I really only use my second to run the nightfalls and weeklies, and Crota and VofG runs. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:02 1
        
        don't really waste my time doing normal bounties with both characters. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 08:03
        
        we are gonna have to put you on a Destiny leash. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:48
        
        yes -- nm - groiny Mar 13, 07:48
Krusty: Here's Rubio and Kerry -- (link) - MDH Mar 13, 07:31 2
- Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Mar 13, 07:54
- "Because the facts completely contradict that." -- nm - TWuG Mar 13, 07:38
At the Disney shareholder meeting they aired AoU footage, Hulkbuster. Description is within (I only read the first lines of it). SPOILER - Ultron Mar 13, 07:29
30 Terry Pratchett Quotes to Guide You Through Life -- (link) - LMS Mar 13, 07:27
You could tell that Kerry was having difficult not punctuating every sentence with ", dummy." -- nm - Reagen Mar 13, 07:27 2
- is there video of this somewhere? - Mel Profit Mar 13, 07:28 1
  - Probably this. -- (link) - GregW Mar 13, 08:58 [Backboard]
"I'm not say there *is* egg nog. I'm not saying there *isn't*. I'm saying.....there's no way to be sure -- nm - prayformojo Mar 13, 07:27
I had an idea last night. A real humdinger. One that could make money ... using ST. Maybe. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 07:25 5
- Money!! -- nm - Epiphany Mar 13, 07:40
- I gotta have avatars! -- nm - Bruce Dickinson Mar 13, 07:38 1
  - It solves that... for a fee. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 07:38
- and all it requires is all y'all to give me your social security numbers and bank routing information -- nm - berylium Mar 13, 07:27 1
  - Oh no, they're on to me! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 07:28
