Probably not even a real question: Google Chrome over IE11 right? -- (edited) - Diva Jun 24, 08:09 13
- I use IE if I need to confirm if something being broken in Chrome and FF is also broken in IE. -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 08:14
- Yes. Even over Firefox at this point. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 08:13 2
  - I still can not post to ST from Chrome. On my phone, or on my computer at home. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:14 1
    - Nice. Then Bery is earning his payoff. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 08:17
- I haven't used IE in so many years I have no idea if it's any good now or still shit. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:11 6
  - two things keep me from going Chrome full time - Reagen Jun 24, 08:13 4
    - I got rid of the new tab page. All my new pages are just blank. I also got rid of the new bookmarks as well. - Krusty Jun 24, 08:20
    - Firefox has an extension called firebug - which is great for debugging - decline Jun 24, 08:18
    - Here, you can use this to turn off the new bookmarks - TWuG Jun 24, 08:16
    - Dude, just pin a gmail tab and a feedly tab. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 08:14
  - It's better than it used to be, but I still only use it for work stuff. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 08:12
- Even MSFT would say so. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 08:09 1
  - I'm just glad we are actually getting a choice. First time in my almost 10 years here. -- nm* - Diva Jun 24, 08:15
The Clinton campaign debuted a new ad "Equal" today. It's hitting me in the feels, hard. -- (link) - MDH Jun 24, 08:07 [youtube] 1
- Nice. The shot of the shoes was odd, though. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:11
I just watched the highlights of KU beating Canada. Damn this KU team is going to be tough next season. So many returning guys like - Krusty Jun 24, 07:58 4
- *pencils them in for a Sweet 16 upset* -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 08:03 3

- He unloaded it on you? -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:56
- you should go over and dump a glass of water on him and call him a poopyhead -- nm - decline Jun 24, 07:56
Brock Holt might be enough to get my fantasy team going... - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:47 8
- As I said below - I'm starting to regret not picking him up. The Brock Star is an eligible goalie as well. - Mel Profit Jun 24, 07:56
- I have him in a league that allows only 15 pick-ups all season. He's a de facto superstar in that format. -- nm - David Jun 24, 07:49 6
  - I may yet regret picking him up. He's Super Utility at this point and producing. - Mel Profit Jun 24, 07:54 5
    - and I dig him. - Mel Profit Jun 24, 07:58 4
      - That's precisely why I always had a soft spot for Brooks Conrad. - David Jun 24, 08:10
      - The night after he hit for the cycle he understudied the lead in Wayland Community Theatre's production of 'L'il Abner'. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 08:06 2
        
        Rumor has it that he's datin' "POODLE!" -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 24, 08:09 1
        
        She'd totally date him. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 08:11
You k ow how sometimes you try to type "Mop" but the "p" and the "o" are so close together so you get "Moo"? -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 07:44 5
- do you have problems with n's too? -- nm - decline Jun 24, 07:50 3
  - Are you calling Mop a racist?! -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 07:57 2
    - I miss Craig Ferguson. -- The "Your a racist!" nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:03
    - I thought about going for this joke. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 07:58
- I have serious issues typing the word "Enter". -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 07:46
Woo! Excessive heat warning! *Excessive*! That means we have heat to spare! Bank it! -- nm - Mop Jun 24, 07:44
I wonder how much this camera lens costs. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 24, 07:40 2
- TV and cinema lenses zoooom like crazy, old 35mm movie gear is now getting attention because it fits digital sensor format -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 24, 11:06
- probably about a dollar -- nm - decline Jun 24, 07:49
Dear Pippy: My local swimming holes are not good for our exercises. Too many kids, not enough pool. -- nm - Lady AnteRoo Jun 24, 07:33
Lego to spend $185.4M finding alternative to plastic for its bricks -- (link) - Beaker Jun 24, 07:30 1

Confederate flag removed from Alabama Capitol grounds on order of Gov. Bentley -- (link) - ty97 Jun 24, 07:27 1
- Now to work on their state flag. So many need an update to rid them of their confederate past. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 07:40
Got a couple hours of Arkham Knight in last night. It's good, if you can get past the first half hour or so. - Ender Jun 24, 07:26 17
- I installed it and put in the extra content codes and watch the opening sequence which was kind of creepy - eag Jun 24, 08:06 1
  - Yeah, it took me a minute to realize that too. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 08:08
- Me as well. I wandered around trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing for quite a while. (minor spoils?) - JaxSean Jun 24, 07:37 4
  - hey, Pete and I had tried sending you invites to Destiny the other night.... - groiny Jun 24, 08:01 1
    - I messaged you yesterday. I didn't see them, and didn't even realize I had notifications. - JaxSean Jun 24, 08:17
  - I don't think it means for you to move right on to the next parts of the side missions. - Ender Jun 24, 07:44 1
    - Yeah, eventually that's what I ended up doing. - JaxSean Jun 24, 08:22
- Hmm. On my small office tv I had no problem with the text. The color code of the button shows up well, so you hit it and see what happens. - Spawn Jun 24, 07:37 4
  - I got better once I changed views to the front (?) view. - JaxSean Jun 24, 07:39 3
    - It gets better once they intro combat mode, but I REALLY want L2 to be the brake instead of Square. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 07:46 1
      - Oh yeah, brakes. - Spawn Jun 24, 07:50
    - Sweet. The installation took so long that I only played until right after the first drive was done. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:44
- *constantly refreshes tracking info* Not Out for Delivery yet. Bah! -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 07:32
- The text is an issue, I'm glad it's not just me. -- nm - J Jun 24, 07:30 2
  - I don't understand how every game doesn't have a text size option... -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 07:35 1
    - Solution: get a smaller TV. -- nm - JaxSean Jun 24, 07:38
- that tiny text thing is a huge problem in the Witcher 3 too. - decline Jun 24, 07:28
Former #1 overall MLB draft pick Brady Aiken is bad at math. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:25 3
- word to the last line of your im -- nm - Beaker Jun 24, 07:28
- I'd like to imagine how a 22 year old(?) says 'fuck you' to $5M. -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 07:27 1
  - He was 18 iirc...I can get being angry they changed the agreement but given they were saying an elbow injury... - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:29
Also, fuck this guy -- (link) - ty97 Jun 24, 07:21 31
- I should know the answer to this prior to posting but I look forward to reviewing this guy's combat record. -- nm - Mel Profit Jun 24, 08:08 1
  - Doesn't appear on his bio. -- (link) - Will Hunting Jun 24, 08:15
- Not that I agree with any suggestion that this guy is making, but I did wonder when I heard the report that the guy reloaded 5 times why nobody - pmb Jun 24, 07:47 17
  - they were apparently waiting for Jesus to save them. -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:02
  - I'd say there's a difference between wondering what happened and assuming you'd be Rambo meets Jason Bourne in a crisis. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 07:52 2
    - The link I posted last night of that father and the home-run ball is a good example. - Spawn Jun 24, 07:55 1
      - I assume most people duck or run for their lives when there's danger. It's a rare person that runs to confront the attacker. -- nm - Krusty Jun 24, 08:01
  - Yup. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:51 8
    - Shock does immobilize a lot of people. Never at that level of course, but I have seen it happen in situations that are made 10x worse for it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:53 7
      - And, as I think about it, it doesn't really take long to load a new mag if the shooter's paying attention. - Ender Jun 24, 08:11 5
        
        what type of gun was he using? -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:14 3
        
        All I ever read was a .45 cal handgun. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:15 2
        
        so likely 5 to 10 seconds to pop a new clip in, assuming he was not refilling the clip. nm -- nm - groiny Jun 24, 08:16 1
        
        Nah, if he's got the next mag in his hand and just dropping the old one on the floor it's more like 2 seconds. -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 08:20
        
        Yeah, it is a quick, fluid motion if done right. If you were not looking at him, you might not even know he did it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:13
      - Yeah, I get it, and part of me would like to believe I'd try to go out on my shield, but it's all hypothetical. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 24, 08:02
  - Yup. The age of the victims, I figured. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:50
  - wait, what?? -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 07:49
  - He reloaded 5 times?! -- nm - Ender Jun 24, 07:47 1
    - The very first staement I read was from the woman he let live and she said that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:50
- this is the kind of stuff that makes people think what Shaun said below. - Diva Jun 24, 07:35
- wait. is he saying it's their own fault?? -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 07:32 9
  - Partially. Also, they weren't armed so they couldn't shoot back. - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:36 3
    - I would be lying if I said I have never seen a bible that had a gun hidden in it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:06 2
      - Just as Jesus would've wanted it. -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 08:08 1
        
        The Really Good Book. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 08:16
  - Not the first couple...they're in the clear. It's the last couple that could have done something. -- nm - Jim Jun 24, 07:35 2
    - Those old ladies especially should have been able to run at him and Ninja kick the gun out of his hands. -- nm - Diva Jun 24, 07:36
    - that's what I think he's saying. what?? -- nm - amanda Jun 24, 07:36
  - He's saying that if one of them had a gun, this wouldn't have happened. -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 07:35 1
    - And imagine if they *all* had guns. -- nm - Spawn Jun 24, 07:52
Andie, are these guys in your area softball league? -- (link) - Will Hunting Jun 24, 07:20 1

In today's "news" someone at Breitbart is question why the "anti-Christian" rainbow flag isn't being attacked and Limbaugh says the American flag is - ty97 Jun 24, 06:54 11
- wait...huh..ah...what? - Mel Profit Jun 24, 08:05 1
  - they also seem rather sure that they speak for all Christians - Reagen Jun 24, 08:09
- oh, and some right wingers are attacking Nikki Haley because she is an immigrant and has no right to talk about SC history. -- nm - ty97 Jun 24, 06:57 8
  - Every day I'm amazed at some of the pure idiocy that comes out of the US news. - Shaun Jun 24, 06:59 6
    - this is it - quit giving coverage to the morons. there are idiots everywhere, just ignore them. -- nm - Andie Jun 24, 07:00 5
      - It's not just covering the morons. Many of the morons are being paid to espouse their moronic insanity to their adoring moronic listeners. -- nm - pmb Jun 24, 07:49 1
        
        "But he's a US Senator!" "Ah, yes, well we have a problem then." -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 07:53
      - [deleted]
      - I think the only good news is that (so far) I don't think these threads have really gotten any (or much) MSM coverage. - ty97 Jun 24, 07:03
      - It's awful because the US seems like one of the shittiest places on Earth, based on all this crap, when it's clearly not even close. -- nm - Shaun Jun 24, 07:02
  - well this should lead to some fun places. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 06:59

- *marks it 50% off* -- nm* - Apu Nahasapeemapetilon Jun 24, 06:06
- Setting aside how super gross that is, how can 100,000+ pounds of meat be worth almost 500 million dollars? That's an average of like $5K per pound. -- nm - landbeck Jun 24, 06:03 5
  - 100000 *tons*. -- nm - Reagen Jun 24, 06:05 4
    - 100000 tons of rotted meat has been stored for decades? That's some gross mismanagement. -- nm - Max Jun 24, 06:12 1
