I've been keeping it secret for about a year, but there's some Sherlock special news. Spoiler(ish) -- (link) - LMS Mar 17, 08:30 1
- Awesome! -- nm - Krusty Mar 17, 08:37
us piizza sales were $38.5 bn in the year ended 9/2014. of the big players, who do you think gained and lost the most marketshare over prior period? - amanda Mar 17, 08:26 17
- LC has that whole quick and easy thing down. We buy more pizza from them than anyone - oblique Mar 17, 08:33 3
  - Last time I had them, they were not even as good as Dominoes. Has that changed? - Ultron Mar 17, 08:34 1
    - No, it's horrible. If I need something that fast, there are plenty of other options. -- nm - ???? Mar 17, 08:36
  - We're not as close to one now, but I completely agree. When it was nearby, it killed in terms of convenience, price, and taste. -- nm - David Mar 17, 08:34
- LC gained bigtime I'm betting. -- nm - MDH Mar 17, 08:31
- LC lost -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 08:30
- Papa John's -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 08:28
- pizza hut lost most, dominoes gained most -- nm - decline Mar 17, 08:27 9
  - pizza hut is correct. dominoes *gained.* -- nm - amanda Mar 17, 08:28 8
    - Domino's did that entire rebranding; they probably nowhere to go but up. LC's gained most is my guess. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 17, 08:29 6
      - it's totally insane: LC gained 3+% MS. - amanda Mar 17, 08:30 5
        
        Fine, I'll say it. Little Caesars is the absolute worst pizza I've ever eaten. Even worse than that deep dish Chicago shit. - ???? Mar 17, 08:35
        
        Apparently LC is the fastest growing franchise in the US. The fact they changed their entire business model has really helped them. -- nm - MDH Mar 17, 08:31 2
        
        And side note, I don't mean Pizza Franchise, I mean any franchise. -- nm - MDH Mar 17, 08:34
        
        They are failing around here so had no idea. -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 08:32
        
        ah -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 08:31
    - oops gained but not most -- nm - amanda Mar 17, 08:28
Follow-up to the dude I had removed form my office. This morning, I was at the property as we had a report of an "abandoned" red BMW. - Ultron Mar 17, 08:26
I'm like 8 episodes behind on Walking Dead and wasn't planning on going back but all of these posts make me curious. -- nm - David Mar 17, 08:19 6
- this last episode might have been the best episode in the last 2 seasons. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 08:20 5
  - I don't know if I'd go that far but it was quite good. this whole 2nd half of this season has been consistently good -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 08:25 2
    - I think a lot happened in a short period of time in the episode.... -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 08:31 1
      - oh yeah. I think this last episode was gut punch after the idyllic 2 episode before it -- nm - Remlik Mar 17, 08:33
  - (unless your name is Dignan) -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 08:22 1
    - well, I am fairly sure no one is going to listen to anything he says. nm -- nm - groiny Mar 17, 08:24

      - Here's the speculation on who actually they are, and it's vastly different... -- (link) - MDH Mar 17, 08:33 2
        
        That would make for a lame cliffhanger, though. -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 08:37
        
        Here's *some* obv not definitive -- nm - MDH Mar 17, 08:35

        We have finally got about to where I quit reading. -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 08:33

- B. Reward still outweighs the risk. - Name Withheld By Request Mar 17, 08:21
- A. But I wouldn't begrudge anyone for B because Borland will barely see 35mil, even with his 600k nest egg. - Will Hunting Mar 17, 08:09
- A.1. And make a mint off of the fact of A. - Ultron Mar 17, 08:09
- A and I didn't have to think about it for more than a second. Football should be one of the last choices for kids today. - Krusty Mar 17, 08:07 2

    - Oh, I got it but just took the opportunity to rant about the game a bit. :-) - Krusty Mar 17, 08:11
- A is the better choice, because there are so many broadcasting options for players right now. - David Mar 17, 08:03
- Family and prospects for a real job factor in. -- nm - budice Mar 17, 08:01
my boss thinks i'm a computer genius because i just showed him how to drag an attachment from a received email to a new one going out. - Andie Mar 17, 07:33 2

I kinda love the idea in It Follows. -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 07:27 9

- that looks awesome -- nm - oblique Mar 17, 08:03 3
  - Details of plot device, but not spoilers of actual movie inside. Still if you want to go in fresh, this is a spoil - Ultron Mar 17, 08:12
  - side note: I still need to watch Cabin in the Woods -- nm - oblique Mar 17, 08:03 1

  - Did you see the EW article? I knew some about it but getting the details really sold it. -- nm - Ultron Mar 17, 07:45
- Whoa. 95% at RT. That's almost unheard of for a horror flick. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 07:35
The Begin Again soundtrack is $5 at Amazon this month. I'm not going to say you're a bad person if you don't buy it, but... -- (link) - spamlet Mar 17, 07:06 5

Interstellar is available on Vudu et al today if you are so inclined. -- nm - David Mar 17, 06:18 21
- Geez. *Finally*. - prayformojo Mar 17, 06:25
- [deleted] 16
  - Right, if you buy it right now, it's in your Vudu account right now. - David Mar 17, 06:27 13
    - [deleted] 12
      - When you start a movie from the Vudu app, and it turns on your TV for you, and switches to the proper input, you won't want to pick up a DVD again. -- nm - Inigo Mar 17, 06:32 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        Yes. But even for full HD (HDX in Vudu terms) you really only need 8-10mb/s. -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 06:42 3
        
        But to fix your trip issue, you can download the films directly to your laptop/iPad/tablet in their app. -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 06:50 2

        Weren't you ST's resident Full Screen champion? -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:29 2
        
        I was. Willingly watching only 70% of a screen remains stupid. -- nm - David Mar 17, 06:31 1
        
        Full screen was pretty dumb. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:48
  - Vudu almost always gets films before Blu-Ray release. -- nm - Inigo Mar 17, 06:21 1
    - [deleted]
- I still haven't watched this for some reason. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:20 2
  - 2 hours and 49 minutes is why -- nm - Epiphany Mar 17, 06:21 1
    - That's certainly part of the reason. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:28
ST Lurker Poll: Do we like Inbox? -- nm - secretslacker Mar 17, 06:13 6
- More than the old Gmail app, yes. -- nm - Ender (4 Days till Puerto Rico) Mar 17, 06:58
- meh. I have invites if anyone wants them -- nm - oblique Mar 17, 06:44 1
  - Do people still need an invite? I already got one but now Gmail gives me a choice of the normal app or inbox -- nm - secretslacker Mar 17, 07:03
- I like it for the scheduling feature but the UI issues bug me so much I stopped using it other than to go in and hide e-mails. -- nm - spamlet Mar 17, 06:40
- I've never heard of it - but that is not surprising -- nm - Epiphany Mar 17, 06:26
- Not at all. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 17, 06:22

- Meh, he's mostly just pushing for them to apply it only to the four. I don't think he really thinks they share in the blame if it gets struck down. - Krusty Mar 17, 06:36 3
  - [deleted] 2
    - Yes and he's wrong there. He doesn't really say much about holding them responsible until the very end which is odd. - Krusty Mar 17, 07:01 1

- Hell, no. I'm trying to stay as far away from Times Square as possible this year. -- nm - secretslacker Mar 17, 06:13
- No. Although if you go to Dolan's at lunch, you're pretty much guaranteed to see old ladies in green suits and top hats. -- nm - Shaun Mar 17, 06:10 1

Really? The way to get people posting in the morning is with an (unintended) What Are You Wearing poll? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 17, 06:07 3
- jeans, cute black flats, a light blue light weight sweater and blue gem drop earrings -- nm - Epiphany Mar 17, 06:41
- I am also 0% green. - Kim Pine Mar 17, 06:11 1
  - I'm not wearing any either but it's because it wouldn't matter with a coat on. But it's my favorite color and I'd wear it daily. -- nm - Krusty Mar 17, 06:38
