I will say that, among people I've talked to, the anticipation (heh heh) for Ant Man ranges quite evenly from "Yeah totally" to "WTF is this shit" - con_carne Jul 15, 12:34
Toronto mayor mistakes Kanye West for a Canadian -- (link) - Roger More Jul 15, 12:25 6
- Bring back Rob Ford! -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 12:37
- Sure, Kanye, Drake ... even Spike Lee ... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:29
- well, that's just embarrassing (and why would we want to claim Kanye??) -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 12:26 2

NASA presser with new images -- (link) - decline Jul 15, 12:16
Not to start a thread, but JEEBUS!!! Final Dez Bryant numbers: 5 years, $70M, $45M guaranteed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:16 3
- These are eerily similar to the numbers the guy rejected on Ballers this week. -- nm - David Jul 15, 12:18 2
  - And not that horribly far off from what DT has been rejecting. But now that Dez is done, DT should be easy. - Jim Jul 15, 12:18 1
    - Wow. $20M signing bonus. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:21
LYC: Wow. After an absence of 140 years, there have been two black bear sightings in Indiana in the last month. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:15 1
- They are heading south to get themselves some honey boo boo -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 15, 13:02
*deeeeeeeep breath* Happy birthday, Joseph! Happy birthday, Jorge! Happy birthday, James Bond! Happy Houseday, MAJ! -- nm - David Jul 15, 12:04 4
- Happy birthday, everyone! -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 12:15
- Happy happy all!! -- nm - pmb Jul 15, 12:12
- It is a day... of miracles. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:07
- happy houseday, amanda! :) - -- nm - b. Jul 15, 12:06
LYC: Wow. Did I say that as greeter I was going to be able to "gorge" on all the trailers I want? Lolol. Lolol. - con_carne Jul 15, 12:02
gun to your head - Antman or Trainwreck this weekend? (or, both.) -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 12:01 42
- My life will be complete if I never see Trainwreck. But I NEED to see Antman. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 12:39
- Trainwreck by a mile. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 12:30
- Trainwreck, I guess. -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 12:24
- Trainwreck - tomorrow night -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 12:12
- I haven't seen a thing for "ant man;" but "trainwreck" ads have been pretty good, so that. -- nm - b. Jul 15, 12:08 2
  - you must watch some really weird TV stations -- nm - decline Jul 15, 12:09 1
    - I watch very little tv on a tv; but I see lots of ads on websites (yt, etc.), billboards, magazines, etc. - b. Jul 15, 12:17
- Ant -- nm - eag Jul 15, 12:05 1
  - easily -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 12:30
- Train wreck, easily -- nm - jangles Jul 15, 12:05
- Antman -- nm - decline Jul 15, 12:04
- Ant-Man. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 15, 12:03 1
  - ... the dash is an ant too! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:07
- I'll watch both but I have interest in neither. - David Jul 15, 12:03 12
  - Aquaman, David. - Spawn Jul 15, 12:04 11
    - The world's 70% water. I've never had a problem with Aquaman. - David Jul 15, 12:05 9
      - But 100%* of the population doesn't live there! - Will Hunting Jul 15, 12:07
      - Dude, do you have any idea how many ants there are? - Spawn Jul 15, 12:07 7
        
        Speaking of which, Kim, call the maintenance people! -- nm - David Jul 15, 12:08 5
        
        Or better yet, call Ant-Man! -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:09 4
        
        It'd be rude to call him just to laugh at him. -- nm - David Jul 15, 12:10 3
        
        "Aquaman... is that you again!?! STOP CALLING ME!!!" -- nm - Ant-Man Jul 15, 12:12 2
        
        Replace Ant-Man with Andrew Luck and Aquaman with Peyton Manning and the statement is equally laughable. -- nm - David Jul 15, 12:15 1
        
        Or the current and former QBs for the Falcons. I would put their names but I can not even remember them. - Spawn Jul 15, 12:18
        
        The world is like 80% ants. Fact. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:07
    - "Oh, I don't want to go as Aquaman dude..he sucks!" -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 12:05
- Both of those trailers won me over quite easily -- nm - con_carne Jul 15, 12:03
- Trainwreck as I am seeing Ant-Man in 31 hours. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:03
- Antman. I think Trainwreck is probably a good movie, but it's more of a Netflix thing for me. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:03
- Both. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 12:02
- Antman. Amy S reaaaaaallly rubs me the wrong way -- nm - prayformojo Jul 15, 12:02 5
  - Me too, but I gots to have my Hader. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 12:03 4
    - So, what was it like to work with Seth Meyers on those Stefon skits? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 12:04 2
      - Seth was a real sweethea- I mean, I don't know what you, I'm sure he's -- (link) - emoticripple Jul 15, 12:11
      - *gasp!* -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:07 [Image]
    - he really is very talented. I understand all the feelings you have. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 12:04
- i would see both. First choice is probably Trainwreck. -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 12:02 3
  - Actually, I change my answer to this. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 15, 12:34
  - Same. -- nm - pmb Jul 15, 12:04
  - this. this right here. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 12:03
- Ant Man, no question. -- nm - TWuG Jul 15, 12:01
- I would watch both. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 12:01
I've been doing more than my part to power through the office soda supply, but apparently we still have Santa Coke. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:00
So, EVE Online has been down unexpectedly since their daily maintenance (roughly 8 hours now). People on the forums keep asking for COMPENSATION - oblique Jul 15, 11:52 14
- Sounds reasonable. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 11:57 2
  - EVE Online currency has real monetary value. I think it's justifiable. -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 12:00 1
    - Real money has an ISK value. It doesn't really go the other direction. (they ban you for that) -- nm - oblique Jul 15, 12:04
- Sic the redditors on them -- nm - jangles Jul 15, 11:55
- You're forgetting the income they could be earning each month from the game. - Beryllium Jul 15, 11:55 8
  - I'm going on two years now and have yet to pay for a month of subscription. I think time wise, however, I would have been better off - oblique Jul 15, 11:59 7
    - how much do you have to play to play for free? -- nm* - Andie Jul 15, 11:59 6
      - Well, that all depends. I can make 20M ISK/HR mining various things (you need about 1B now/mo to play) so that would be about 50 hours/mo - oblique Jul 15, 12:03 4
        
        so an average of 1 1/2 hours per day? that's alot -- nm* - decline Jul 15, 12:06 3
        
        Yeah, for doing the most braindead activity in the game you can to play for free. - oblique Jul 15, 12:09 2
        
        I do find it facinating and wish I had that type of time commitment to figure it all out and play. -- nm - decline Jul 15, 12:12 1
        
        I think the people here that play Ikariam would LOVE EVE for those reasons - oblique Jul 15, 12:31
      - A whole lot, unless you're really good at conning people. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 12:00
- A communications disruption can mean only one thing... -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 11:53
Dinesh D’Souza guilty of campaign finance abuse. Ordered to undergo psychological testing. -- (link) - Mop Jul 15, 11:51 2
- Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 11:54
- -testing +counseling -- nm - Mop Jul 15, 11:52
I generally like D.Mac, and get that he should discourage obvious market manipulation, but man is he a killjoy on those boards. -- nm - Inigo Jul 15, 11:48 3
- Sure, but stop trying to drive up the price of MNION! I have it short - are you trying to beggar me? -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 12:12
- sometimes he fights just to fight. bored I guess. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 11:49 1
  - this -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 11:50
ika: Do you need a barracks in each town? - spamlet Jul 15, 11:48 6
- I would recommend a barracks in at least half your towns, and a shipyard in the ones you don't -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 15, 12:16 2
  - I will. I just needed a spot and said "I bet I don't need this". - spamlet Jul 15, 12:23 1
    - When you are getting ready for a major upgrade, the barracks is the easiest thing to demo -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 15, 13:05
- Thanks, guys -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 11:54
- correct. you don't need one in the town to house your soldiers. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 11:49
- Exactly. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 11:49
with so many slackers having a BD today and this month, we may have to accept that astrology may have some creedence -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 15, 11:46 1
- Eh, just wait 'til next month ;) -- nm - Meg Jul 15, 11:47
heh. -- (link) - Spawn Jul 15, 11:45

I also could do with a bar of some kind -- nm - con_carne Jul 15, 11:41 6
- Kit Kat bar? -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 11:42 5
  - No -- nm - con_carne Jul 15, 11:47 2
    - Gimme a break! -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 11:48 1
      - Applesauce? Chrysler car? Football cream? - prayformojo Jul 15, 11:49

If I were Major Garrett I would worry about Joe Biden showing up at my apartment tonight like Joaquin in The Master. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 15, 11:41 2
- I only heard the audio but I was half expecting Obama to knock his teeth out. -- nm - Max Jul 15, 11:42 1
  - There was that pause, and I think nobody knew what direction that whole situation was going to take. If the president jaw-jacks you, - emoticripple Jul 15, 11:44
Cowboys have reportedly agreed to terms with WR Dez Bryant on a long-term contract extension. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 11:40 4
- Dez Bryant and Cowboys have agreement in principle on 5-year, $70 million deal. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 12:14 1
  - Ok, Dez is 5/$70 - now Broncos need to offer DT 5 for between $75 and $80. Let's do it!! -- nm - Jim Jul 15, 12:15
- Sweet...now the Broncos just need to do better than that deal and Demaryius should be locked up. -- nm - Jim Jul 15, 11:44
- our long national football league nightmare is over -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 15, 11:43

- It is, of course, impossible to know if there was any room to get any more. Given the length of the negotiations I think it's a pretty fair guess - pmb Jul 15, 12:00 1
  - Also, the deal isn't just with Iran. There are 5 other countries, including China and Russia, at the table. Given that, it's a wonder there's any - TWuG Jul 15, 12:21
- Ronnie would have just told those Iranians what-for and they'd have cav... He what? -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 12:00
- listen, sanctions worked great against Cuba... -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 11:41 2
  - Does Cuba have nukes? Nope. Mission Accomplished. :-) - TWuG Jul 15, 12:01
  - cuba didn't have oil....all they had was cigars and enough were smuggled out to make them a rare expensive treat among ruling cla$$ -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 15, 11:49
- I think it's fair to say that the sanctions have worked, in that they brought Iran to the negotiating table. -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 11:40 1
  - [deleted]
- I do like that in some ways, Iran seems less insane now than they did a decade ago, or even five years ago. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 11:38 6
  - No Ahmedinejad. -- nm - Roger More Jul 15, 11:52
  - [deleted]
  - In many ways they seem to be more reasonable than the republican party, love the way they responded to the sabotage letter - zeitgeist Jul 15, 11:44
  - It's in joining the global community that a country is most rapidly subdued. - Mop Jul 15, 11:43
  - but they'll still take your car through the drive-through when all you bring it in for is a tune-up - prayformojo Jul 15, 11:41 1
    - Or maybe they'll take it for a joyride down at Twin Pines Mall -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 11:43
Ryan Reynolds and the Hollywood Phoenixs -- (link) - prayformojo Jul 15, 11:35
I like that if you ask Alexa what Prime Day is, she responds correctly. -- nm - David Jul 15, 11:34 8
- ask her why they sold out of Echo's so quickly -- nm - decline Jul 15, 11:36 5
  - the waitlist just switched from available to full. -- nm - b. Jul 15, 12:18 2
    - (and now the waitlist is showing as available again.) -- nm - b. Jul 15, 12:49 1
      - (fire tv stick, too.) -- nm - b. Jul 15, 12:49
  - Did I mention, when the black 8GB Fire was at 41% sold...the delivery date was mid-September. - Will Hunting Jul 15, 11:38 1
    - fwiw, I've found their estimated dates for amazon-brand items to regularly be padded by quite a bit. -- nm - b. Jul 15, 12:20
- Ask her to explain Last Day for Capricorn 29's. -- nm - Max Jul 15, 11:36
- "Prime Day is celebrated every 17 September, heralding the day Optimus Prime revealed himself to Earth via television in 1984." -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 11:36
