In the last 9 days, odds for Tiger to win the Masters have gone from 50:1 to 15:1. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 9, 06:48 7
- I am more wondering whether he will make the cut -- nm - amoxy Apr 9, 07:06
- he's like a drug. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 06:51 5
  - It's just more exciting when he is significant. It would be cool if he is one of the last four groups on Sunday. -- nm - volnelk Apr 9, 06:52 4
    - sure is. Golf, CBS, Augusta, The PGA and a whole lotta other folks want this badly. Jonesing. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 06:55 3
      - If only there were entertaining young golfers with extraordinary talent, perhaps with names like Ricky or Rory. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 07:03 2
        
        my point exactly. there are others to fill this void, but they keep going back to Tiger like he's the good heroin from the 70's. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:12
        
        And maybe with pop stars as caddies. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 07:09
I'm down a million dollars today from no one thing. I hate days like this. you can't correct, you know? -- nm - amanda Apr 9, 06:38 8
- Change Today -H$1,079,031.79 (-0.04%) -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 07:06
- Yup. I just assumer that the majority of people around me are in the same boat. -- nm - volnelk Apr 9, 06:41 6
  - I'm not - I'm down nearly $3M :( Damn reset traders. -- nm - Roger More Apr 9, 06:43 5
    - Hmm, I'm only down 800k -- nm - LMS Apr 9, 07:00 3
      - And I'm up a small amount. Go fig. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 9, 07:06 2
        
        me too, which worries me if everyone else is down... -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 07:12 1
        
        own it. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:13
    - Percentage-wise though that is about the same probably. -- nm - volnelk Apr 9, 06:53
39% of English Canadians were using Netflix last Fall.....(link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Apr 9, 06:35 3
- I wish they would provide more info on where the calls were made to as that seems way high to me - Beaker Apr 9, 06:38 2
  - everyone I know has Netflix, no-one i know has Crave or Shomi. -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 06:39 1
    - I get Shomi free but I have never even looked at it, as of now. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 07:10
this is a dumb question (yes i could google, whatever) - in baby clothes, what is the next size up after 24 months? - Andie Apr 9, 06:25 15
- Fuck baby clothes sizing. Our 1 year old (like really, a YEAR?!! wow) is wearing 18-24M stuff. She's not a huge baby. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 07:11 3
  - *snort* -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 07:15

    - Clothing sizes be whack. - Ultron Apr 9, 07:18
- 2T -- nm - CQ Apr 9, 06:38
- Here we thought Andie had some baby news. ;) -- nm - budice Apr 9, 06:35
- 25 months? - Mel Profit Apr 9, 06:27
- if I remember anything about babies it is that size is irrelevant. ask the parents what size the kid is wearing/expecting to wear in the next season - oblique Apr 9, 06:27 1
  - the kid is wearing 24 months, i know this, i am asking what is the next size up. -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 06:27
- [deleted] 5
  - Yes,but 24 months and 2T are really close IIRC. -- nm - spamlet Apr 9, 06:58 1
    - Yeah, iirc 24m is wider, 2T is a little longer and leaner. -- nm - kelly Apr 9, 07:04
  - This. -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 9, 06:34
  - ah, thanks! -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 06:27

Amazon Echo now controlling some home automation products -- (link) - oblique Apr 9, 05:51 6
- I linked the email I got about it yesterday. I think it's *really* cool - but I can't see spending $40+ for one switch or a single light bulb. - JaxSean Apr 9, 06:02 3
  - Yeah, there was an interesting article I read a while back about how incomplete the home automatic products are currently - oblique Apr 9, 06:24 1
    - These are the supported products from the email - JaxSean Apr 9, 06:27
  - I just looked back through my email...it looks like they've been adding new features to Echo pretty steadily every two weeks or so -- nm - prayformojo Apr 9, 06:05
- I have tried to sign up to get an Echo so many times now. It keeps acting like they sent me an invite to my gmail account, but I never got one. Boo. -- nm - Inigo Apr 9, 05:57
- We cannot stress this enough - prayformojo Apr 9, 05:52

      - Your kid was less than a month old when we met in St Louis? - Will Hunting Apr 9, 05:38 3
        
        Yeah, she was a newborn. That's why my wife didn't stick around after dinner. -- nm - spamlet Apr 9, 05:39 2
        
        And why I ducked out after the pool place. -- nm - iSpam Apr 9, 06:02
        
        Hey Groiny, you're off the hook. It wasn't you, it was the kid being a newborn. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 9, 05:40
    - Don't you mean the "War of Northern Agression"?? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 9, 05:06 2
      - Nope, for several reasons. 1) South shot first, and not in that cool Han Solo way. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 05:39 1
        
        Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 9, 05:59
