      - [deleted]
  - Although if there's something about the story that causes you to put it aside that may be legitimate cause for discussion? -- nm - Meg Jun 23, 09:08 4

      - Playboy? The articles are shorter. -- nm - Meg Jun 23, 09:11
  - what if they are dyslexic and socially awkward and are simply seeking an outlet for their pent up need for social interaction? -- nm - decline Jun 23, 09:06 2

    - I thought they all played Destiny online? -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 09:07
- Agree - if it's consistent they don't appear really interested - just there for the social aspect. Just sometimes? Haven't we all - Meg Jun 23, 09:05
- I think it depends if their contributions to the discussion are intelligent or stupid. -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 09:04 1
  - I agree with Roger. Sometimes, a person who hasn't read the book can ask some great questions others would not have thought of. - ReluctantCynic Jun 23, 09:15

- I think it is ok to not finish one every once in a while as shit happens. but to not finish every time - gonzo -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 09:01 1
  - If Gonzo talks like that then this new Muppets show is going to kick ass. -- nm - Max Jun 23, 09:04
- Yes. And there should be a short quiz everyone takes to prove it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:59 1
  - also, I think a tiered penalty system should be instituted where multiple offenses result in ever draconian punishments - decline Jun 23, 09:03

    - Nice. -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 09:27
but wes, is that even smart? to rebuild? it's not a grading issue, right? it's a whole neighborhood runoff issue? -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 08:43 15
- and you are also correct, as the problem is not only the house itself, but the neighborhood drainage. - groiny Jun 23, 08:57 3
  - No basement goes a long way. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 09:01
  - (I pay attention when you talk!!) -- nm - amanda Jun 23, 08:58 1

- If you build it a different way (think New Orleans or hurricane country style), it might work -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 08:45 3
  - .. like on stilts. -- nm - Andie Jun 23, 08:49
  - I can't remember ... Galveston, I think? Houses on the beach around there always get slammed. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 08:46 1
    - but they are built in places that know how to deal with runoff. it seems like groiny's neighbourhood is built, literally, incorrectly and the water - Andie Jun 23, 08:48
- Missed that news. Awesome! -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:44
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM -- (link) - ML Jun 23, 08:43 2

  - mortise -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 08:52 1
    - I think that's the one Pippy is asking for. Tongue and groove is used more for things like flooring -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 08:53
- "8 types of wood joints" - is it one of these? -- (link) - Andie Jun 23, 08:46 1

- Dovetail joint? -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 08:45
- Is there a pintle involved? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 23, 08:44

  - Campaign slogan: "You think you had austerity before!" -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 08:43 3
    - He's gone all cuddly now. I'll say this for him, he stays in Ireland and pays a hell of a lot of income tax and didn't abscond to be tax domiciled - Loyola Jun 23, 08:47 2
      - I thought Bono didn't pay tax in Ireland because of their "artists pay no tax" exemption? -- nm - Roger More Jun 23, 08:54 1
        
        They scaled it back on the bigger artists, so he routes everything through the Netherlands now. -- nm - Loyola Jun 23, 08:57
  - Bono! -- nm - Shaun Jun 23, 08:41 1

    - "I'd like to name Isaiah Thomas as my VP." -- nm - Reagen Jun 23, 08:43 3

- 173%. -- nm - David Jun 23, 09:01
- 100%, I am pretty sure. -- nm - groiny Jun 23, 08:57
- 85% -- nm - Ender Jun 23, 08:40
- 75% - due to Red Bull -- nm* - Spawn Jun 23, 08:36
If the choices are George Karl and Boogie Cousins, I don't even let you finish Boogie's name before I scream Karl. - David Jun 23, 08:33 3

  - Karl would have retired at Denver if not for cancer. -- nm - David Jun 23, 08:42 1
    - No, he beat cancer and was fired 2-3 years later when the wouldn't give him a new contract. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 23, 08:48
Mets fans is cracking me up. -- (link) - Reagen Jun 23, 08:32 1
- Cleveland? Are they getting a boost from short sentences? -- nm - Max Jun 23, 08:35
Seriously is there a franchise more openly contemptuous of their fans right now than the 76ers? - Reagen Jun 23, 08:29 6
- if the Lakers trade the pick they fucked up a whole season to get, the fans will go apeshit -- nm - jangles Jun 23, 08:45 1
  - Both the Knicks and the Lakers being such hot messes is delicious. -- nm - Spawn Jun 23, 08:58
- I'm amazed that the NBA hasn't stepped in. -- nm - David Jun 23, 08:32 2
  - it took 20+ years for them to go after Donald Stirling -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:32 1
    - plus they are likely more concerned with the upcoming labour war on the horizon -- nm - Beaker Jun 23, 08:37
