- They absolutely should. -- nm - David Apr 9, 08:41
- *laughing* What a joke organization. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 08:34
- Excellent. He will make a good back-up for JFB. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 08:34
Dude kicks over his drink after reacting to Nightfall loot. -- (link) - Shaun Apr 9, 08:28 [youtube]
GoFundMe campaign for former police officer charged with Walter Scott killing shut down -- (link) - Beaker Apr 9, 08:26 4
- Interesting. I think it's obvious he's guilty but we -- nm - Max Apr 9, 08:30 3
  - People can donate all they want to this guy, but this site doesn't want to handle campaigns like this. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 08:32 1
    - Yeah, they moved to indiegogo -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 08:37
  - are now valuing the right to vigorous defense and innocent until proven guilty differently? - Max Apr 9, 08:32
Stephen King: Took my Tesla out to a dragstrip last week and ran the 1/4 mile. 112 MPH, 0 to 60 in 4 seconds. Like driving an X-Wing fighter. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 08:22 2
- and then...there was something in the rearview mirror... -- nm - Max Apr 9, 08:28 1
  - obviously he would reach speeds high enough to drive into an alternate universe. -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 08:31

  - In their defense, they were using a Dvorak keyboard. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 9, 08:35
  - I was disappointed. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 08:31
- Ridiculous. In their defense (though they don't deserve it) it was the first ever baseball broadcast for that station. They just moved games to that - pmb Apr 9, 08:25 7
  - That channel should hire producers and proofreaders that can spell. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 08:27 1
    - No kidding. It's the local ABC affiliate. -- nm - pmb Apr 9, 08:29
  - The games left WGN?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 08:26 4
    - A chunk of the games went to channel 7 (ABC). They now have parts of their schedule on Comcast Sports, WGN, ABC and WCIU. And the radio broadcasts - pmb Apr 9, 08:29 3
      - That just feels wrong. -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 08:30 2
        
        WGN got tired of wasting that much time? -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 08:34 1

I need food. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 08:15
I think I mentioned this before. A 20-something friend from Chicago and his girlfriend decided last year that they wanted to walk across the country. - ty97 Apr 9, 08:12 3
- I've seen this movie I think.....it doesn't end well -- nm - Beaker Apr 9, 08:20
- I think that would be an amazing experience overall and super cool in parts, but boring torture for big stretches of it. - volnelk Apr 9, 08:16
- that's excellent. -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 08:15
Going to see Woman in Gold tonight. Hopefully free drinks afterwards as it's a cast & crew screening. - LMS Apr 9, 08:08 13
- I want to see it. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 08:15 2
  - It looks good. And it expands wide (in the HSX sense, moderate in the real world) this weekend -- nm - ty97 Apr 9, 08:21 1
    - yes, that Oleg Max person and I had a convo about it. He thinks expansion is a bad idea because it didn't make enough $ to warrant it(?). - Diva Apr 9, 08:31
- Always cool to attend. Had one of my best experiences at the Number 23 premiere. - budice Apr 9, 08:11 3
  - Previous c&c screening by that production co had pretty much the whole cast there inc DTENN & RPIKE. -- nm - LMS Apr 9, 08:20 2
    - Was RPIKE being all like, :O at the party? -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 08:22 1
      - She was lovely. I was sitting next to her partner at the screening and she stayed for drinks after. She's really smart. -- nm - LMS Apr 9, 08:23

  - 39/40 for 49% at RT -- nm - Beaker Apr 9, 08:12
  - It looks like Reasonable Discussion: The Movie., -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 08:11
  - Be honest. - Ultron Apr 9, 08:11 1
    - I've been working on it for years, so I do want to finally see it. -- nm - LMS Apr 9, 08:21

Very pleased that no planes went missing yesterday. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 08:06
So, had to share this. My father-in-law just got his first iPhone (he's like 70). They came over for Easter and he couldn't put it down. Best part - oblique Apr 9, 08:02 4

      - No, this was beyond any semblance of sanity. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 08:02 3
        
        [deleted] 2
        
        The screening "makes them feel unsafe", and was cancelled. If that is the honest wording of why, then this is an entirely new level. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 08:10 1
        
        [deleted]
    - This just in: Colleges have decided that all students will get diplomas from now on. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 07:56 1
      - That policy is biased against people who are not students. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 9, 08:01

*pats his Adrián González* - Ultron Apr 9, 07:33 5
- I feel like they maybe should have tried pitching him differently. - David Apr 9, 07:35 4
  - I was telling mel this morning that I would have hit him on the butt first before I pitched to him again. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:57 2
    - "him" being Adrian Gonzalez. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:59 1

  - If we've learned nothing in the last few days, hitters can't adjust. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:39
Destiny: Added 18 SCs to the vault last night and killed nm Crota once. 2 shards. I'm not even mad. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 07:28 1

- I'm sure there's a subreddit for this ... but that might be TOO mean -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 07:43 4
  - There's a subreddit for everything. It's simultaneously the most awesome and most frightening thing about reddit. - Shaun Apr 9, 07:46
  - I promise you its not too mean. These are all great! thanks. -- nm - Epiphany Apr 9, 07:46 2
    - nuke this person from orbit. Do not feel an ounce of remorse. - Mel Profit Apr 9, 07:50 1
      - it appears to be someone local - they got a living social coupon for a diner - for $ 10 what the hell? - Epiphany Apr 9, 08:04
- dating sites. sign up for every free dating site you can. someone keeps doing this with my macaroon mail. -- nm - amanda Apr 9, 07:35 2
  - We had this happen with scrubs, so we logged in, changed the password, and altered their sexual preferences, along with a request to text often. -- nm - David Apr 9, 07:55
  - heh. -- nm - decline Apr 9, 07:48
- political parties,for sure, they inundate you. Every retail store chain. restaurant chains. oh, and place a personal ad with that email for responses -- nm - Andie Apr 9, 07:34
- Every political list you can find. -- nm - TWuG Apr 9, 07:33
- pr0n signups, marketing signups. -- nm - budice Apr 9, 07:31
Report: Le'Veon Bell will be suspended three games. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 07:23 5
- How hard is it to just not be a dumbass? Pretty damn hard for NFL players I guess. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 07:26 4

From B2, yes, there are entertaining golfers, but none of them deliver the kind of TV ratings and attendance figures Tiger does. It's not even close. -- nm - MDH Apr 9, 07:15 11
- this conversation is sort of going in circles. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:23 10
  - Thing is, you can have stars (Rory et al), but Tiger has and will drive the PGA Tour until he's done. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 07:39 9
    - I feel like if you can't make Rory McIlroy a transcendent athlete in your sports coverage, you're not very good at sports coverage. -- nm - Reagen Apr 9, 07:55 7
      - I think we're losing the concept of a transcendent athlete though...it's like the Hall of Fame - Will Hunting Apr 9, 08:07 6
        
        Funny US person leaving off Gretzky. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 08:14 2
        
        I think he was going for the sports people actually watch? - Ultron Apr 9, 08:24
        
        Yeah, he'd be one as well, maybe Lemieux...but not Messier or Jagr - Will Hunting Apr 9, 08:22
        
        to me, it's like if people in the NBA were still mourning the decline of Shaq - Reagen Apr 9, 08:11 2
        
        Tiger is 2 years out from being the best player in the world and winning 5? big tournaments. - Will Hunting Apr 9, 08:33 1
        
        Right and *before* Shaq was even used up, the NBA had created 2 more superstars. - Reagen Apr 9, 08:49
    - I KNOW. -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:40
Shaun: with you there. It really seems arbitrary. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 07:14 11
- Whereas, we had the opposite. N has stayed in that sizing through the years (wore 12M until he was 1, 24M until he turned 2, etc) - kelly Apr 9, 07:35 2
  - I just mean that sometimes we buy 3-6m and it fits, and other times something that says 3-6m is too small -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 07:39 1
    - Oh, gotcha. The only time we've had a problem with that (and it isn't really a problem) is with Crazy 8 clothes - their stuff is randomly bigger. -- nm - kelly Apr 9, 07:46
- Also we've had horrible luck with The Children's Place stuff. We avoid it completely now. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 07:23 7
  - does it seem to be bad quality and fall apart quickly? -- nm - Diva Apr 9, 07:24 5
    - The quality isn't as good as say Carter's stuff and the sizing is too out of whack. The same types of things shrink differently. - Shaun Apr 9, 07:25 4
      - +1 for Carters -- nm - Beryllium Apr 9, 07:30
      - apropos of nothing, did i show you guys the spock onesie i bought my nephew for christmas? -- (link) - Andie Apr 9, 07:27 2
        
        I heart onesies so much it's ridic. especially to give as gifts. My sis-in-law didn't have any on her registry (?) but I just sent some anyway. - Diva Apr 9, 07:43
        
        Hehe nice. -- nm - Shaun Apr 9, 07:29
  - Yeah, I would not waste a time machine on it. -- nm - Ultron Apr 9, 07:24
With a cool dry wit like that, I could be an action hero. -- nm - Der Frühlingshafterbaron Apr 9, 07:13
