Let's play this game every once in a while for the next 18 months. What odds do you give of Hillary Clinton becoming POTUS? - David Apr 13, 08:18 31
- 30% - I'm unconvinced that she's a campaigner that can seal the deal. Even choking away the nomination again wouldn't shock me. - Name Withheld By Request Apr 13, 09:06 1
  - The democratic party appears to have cleared the field of major contenders. - David Apr 13, 09:08
- 55%.....I think shes starting WAYYY too early and shes going to run into voter and momentum fatigue. She will have to work for the win. -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 13, 08:45 5
  - They're all having to start early for different reasons. In the GOP, you need to start early to get money and personnel. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 09:05 1
    - Republicans will have the usual cage death match and the winner will be bloody cripple who will have to disavow the very thing that left him as the no -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the dark galaxy Apr 13, 13:50

    - which is why I am certain Hillary has Warren in her pocket. - Mel Profit Apr 13, 09:00
  - If there isn't real competition, it won't be an issue. If Warren or someone else serious runs, I think you're right. -- nm - David Apr 13, 08:50
- 40%. - Will Hunting Apr 13, 08:25
- [deleted] 1
  - [deleted]
- I figure she'll win 54% of the vote. -- nm - Max Apr 13, 08:22
- 312.50% -- nm - budice Apr 13, 08:22 1
  - (I almost went there, but couldn't. So converted down and doubled.) -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:22
- 70% - Mel Profit Apr 13, 08:22 6
  - I misread and thought this was nominee only. POTUS - I give it 55% likely. - Mel Profit Apr 13, 08:23 5
    - Nominee, I give her 99%. -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:24
    - I'd give her 90% on the nomination. - ty97 Apr 13, 08:24 3
      - Is 8% of that her dying prior to the convention? And 2% for her imploding? - Will Hunting Apr 13, 08:27 2
        
        heh, that is my 1%. -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:28
        
        9.99% is her dying. -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 08:27
- 75%. Heard an interview with Ed Rendell (form PA Gov) the other day. He was saying - decline Apr 13, 08:21 1

- 50/50 -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 08:19
- 90% -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 08:18 1
  - The electoral map is just so interesting now. The GOP can flip: FL, IA, WI, VA and they still lose. -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 08:21
new character? ok. herbert (he's austrian, yo) in marketing went over his per diem by $165 while at a conference last week. - amanda Apr 13, 08:15 30
- You must never, ever let him take the Chad to lunch -- nm - Werner Herzog Apr 13, 08:55
- He hooked up with someone and wanted to look good. Unless hes a VP or above and hes entertaining a serious client, that claim should be denied..... - Walt_Disney Apr 13, 08:41
- The problem is probably "has been here for decades". People start to say that it owes them a $64 "salad", - spamlet Apr 13, 08:35 2
  - We had a guy go out of policy for a hotel double the price, and for a week charge through the following: - MDH Apr 13, 08:38
  - I typically fret over rounding up or down when my mileage comes in at half a click -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 08:38
- Is "salad" code for "lap dance"? -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 08:24 4
  - How hungry do you have to be to eat there? -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 13, 08:29 3
    - I could be breaking a hunger strike and I'd still probably say, "nah, I'll pass". -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 08:30 2
      - I did it once with a buddy years ago as a goof. I ordered the grilled cheese. - Mel Profit Apr 13, 08:38 1
        
        heh to the IM -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 08:40
- Was it lobster salad? - Will Hunting Apr 13, 08:24
- I'm guessing that salad came with a side order of Boobs in His Face. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 13, 08:24 1
  - *nodding* -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 08:25
- $165 over what amount? -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:23
- I wonder if he has been doing this for years and no one noticed until now -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 08:22
- Let him go screaming to HR. Dude is all talk, and knows he'd lose. -- nm - MDH Apr 13, 08:18
- tossed salad? -- nm - budice Apr 13, 08:17
- I must see that salad for myself -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 08:16
- Where on earth did he travel to?! -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 08:16 11
  - all I know right now is "canada somewhere." we're waiting to hear. I blame andrea. -- nm - amanda Apr 13, 08:18 7
    - i am trying to imagine a $64 salad, i am failing. Unless it was some chilled lobster with champagne dressed on a bed of rare mushroom salad or some - Andie Apr 13, 08:20 6
      - maybe he bought an entire salad bar - decline Apr 13, 08:35
      - Crusted diamonds over gold leaf with a chopped faberge egg. -- nm - Max Apr 13, 08:24
      - I'll bet it wouldn't be that hard to find a spot like that in Toronto, Montreal, or Vancouver. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:21 2
        
        oh, i'm sure they exist, but you would have to be at the absolutely most expensive place in town. -- nm - Andie Apr 13, 08:22 1
        
        Herbert is apparently the Chad of eating at expensive places. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:22
      - up north maybe? Alberta oil fields? -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 08:21
  - somewhere where lettuce is treated like a king and mini-tomatoes rule the land apparently -- nm - Beaker Apr 13, 08:17 2
    - I'm pretty sure Herbert bought a lap dance that happened to come with a salad -- nm - ty97 Apr 13, 08:17 1
      - ding! -- nm - Epiphany Apr 13, 08:21
Destiny: I got yet another Vex Mythoclast off of Atheon last night. Seriously, I'm approaching double-digit drops for that. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:14 27
- I bought Bloodborne over the weekend. Damn but that game is hard and frustrating - decline Apr 13, 08:22 4
  - Did you see the video fo the guy that has already completed it with no upgrades and no gun? -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:24 1
    - yeah, that wasn't me. I've died at least 50 times already -- nm - decline Apr 13, 08:38
  - I have absolutely 0 interest in that after trying to play Demon's Souls. - Shaun Apr 13, 08:23 1
    - i liked demon souls but never got really far into it - decline Apr 13, 08:30
- My Warlock has moved over to the Sunsinger side of the equation. - Ultron Apr 13, 08:16 13

    - Exodus Plan. -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:19
    - did you see the write up about the highest DPS rocket launcher in the game? -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 08:19 10
      - no -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:19 9
        
        basically that Dragon's Breath has the highest DPS when fully leveled up. - groiny Apr 13, 08:23 8
        
        I want tracking more than anything else. I never used the nons, except for Crota. - Ultron Apr 13, 08:26
        
        basically that Dignan's Breath has the highest DPS when fully leveled up. -- nm - WSS Apr 13, 08:25 1
        
        even unleveled, that shit is nasty. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 08:30
        
        It's more niche than Black Hammer. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:24 4
        
        for sure, I just found it interesting, because it is usually busted up for shards. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 08:29 3
        
        If you already don't have a nice solar launcher, I could see using it, but otherwise... -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:30 2
        
        someone commented about being able to trap an enemy between 2 of the solar flares. nm -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 08:32 1
        
        I could see that being pretty good for Valus if you had 2 people knowing what they were doing. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:41
- I got crap in 2 crota normal runs over the weekend. - groiny Apr 13, 08:16 7
  - What are you still looking for, aside from Gjally? -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:20 6
    - that is pretty much it, I need raid gear for my Warlock. -- nm - groiny Apr 13, 08:21 5
      - Well you get another go tomorrow I guess :) -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:31 4
        
        there are a few exotics that I do not have, that I would not mind getting just to say I did. - groiny Apr 13, 08:33 3
        
        I hope Spawn gets it first. -- nm - Shaun Apr 13, 08:35 2
        
        They excluded me from running Crota Saturday night, so they may fear that. -- nm - Ultron Apr 13, 08:41 1
