        oh, i don't think it's "better." we just had all the same arguments here before it happened and then everyone was like "oh, it's okay." -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 08:45 1

- 60:1 on Tiger is better than I thought you'd get, honestly. - ML Galaxy Jun 18, 07:54 3
  - Me too. I wouldn't touch him at 20. 60 has value. - Loyola Jun 18, 07:59
  - People ahve seen him play this year. I'd give him about 20:1 to make the cut. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 18, 07:55 1
    - I agree it's likely money gone, but bettors always seem to have him at lower odds than he should be. -- nm - ML Galaxy Jun 18, 08:00

  - you should try the american version if you don't want whitening -- (link) - amanda Jun 18, 08:31 1
    - Still gets good reviews. Nice. I was joking about the whitening, I doubt it works. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 08:34
  - sorry, this is the Rachel Doleanz brand - slipping jimmy Jun 18, 08:28 3
    - speaking of, charlie found this yesterday. I laughed and laughed -- (link) - amanda Jun 18, 08:30 2

- So we have a 50/50 chance or do you think Kennedy is likely to side with the left on Obamacare? -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:35
[deleted] 13
- SCTOUS blog is thinking Kennedy has King v Burwell. Is that a good sign? -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:29 12
  - [deleted] 1
    - That would be awful for the country. I really, really hope he does the right thing. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:35
  - [deleted] 5
    - In the live stream they mentioned that they think Kennedy has it. Why do you think he'll get rid of the act? -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:33 4
      - [deleted] 3
        
        That's not good. Now I'm really worried and I like Kennedy a bit less. - Krusty Jun 18, 07:36 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        He's all over the place. Ugh! -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:42
  - (IANAL nor am I Dawson but...) Kennedy is the biggest unknown on that case. -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 07:30 3
    - I know and it has me worried. 11 more cases to go and some big ones too. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:32 2
      - They always seems to save the big ones until the end. - ty97 Jun 18, 07:34 1
        
        Some were only argued a couple of months ago so I was always expecting them to be last. The waiting sucks. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:37
Andie: restaurants here sometimes have signs saying the CC fees are too high, suggesting debit or cash instead -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 07:24 4
- yeah, i think the debit fees are a weird ontario thing. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:25 3
  - It's rare for me to encounter a cash only place (Costco cafeteria is the only one I can think of right now), everything seems to be debit and CC - Beryllium Jun 18, 07:29
  - This must be it, as places definitely prefer people to use debit if possible over CCs. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 07:29 1
    - it was like that here till about a year ago, then it switched. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:38

  - Really? Good to know. Would jeans be okay? -- nm - sycor Jun 18, 07:32 8
    - No man. You're not going to a rodeo. -- nm - Loyola Jun 18, 07:35 1
      - But I'm on vacation damnit! I wear khakis every day! hehe -- nm - sycor Jun 18, 07:37
    - no. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:33 5
      - Dress code just says pants and collar shirts. And there is a formal that requires a suit. I'm not taking a suit. F that noise. -- nm - sycor Jun 18, 07:36 4
        
        ok, but really, i would take one pair of non-jeans for dinner, you don't want to be 'that guy.' what cruise line? -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:39 3
        
        I'll take khakis. I'm just kidding. Royal Caribbean. -- nm - sycor Jun 18, 07:41 2

        I'm a ginger. I'm definitely bringing sun screen. lol -- nm - sycor Jun 18, 07:42
- if you plan to drink a lot, can you buy a drinks package? cruises charge per-drink otherwise. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:20 2
  - The drink packages I saw cost more than I will probably drink. But I should look in to it a bit more. -- nm - sycor Jun 18, 07:25 1
    - cool. for me a drinks pkg wouldn't be worth it either, but just thought it was worth doing the math. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:26
What if we replaced Hamilton with Adam Yauch? -- nm - Roger More Jun 18, 07:17 5
- Still no! But I like you're thinking. You get a promotion in the Krusty Klan. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:22 3
  - The Krusty Kool Klan? -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 07:26 2
    - We're sticking with just Krusty Klan. No way we're adding a third K to the name. -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 07:28 1
