Tatiana Maslany got an Emmy nom. -- nm - loosi Jul 16, 08:36 15
- She needs to win one eventually. Considering some actors can't even play *one* character worth a damn. -- nm - Shaun, southpaw Jul 16, 08:37 14
  - and after this season, when she was playing characters posing as another character, and you could TELL. -- nm - loosi Jul 16, 08:38 12

      - wait, how? reminder me? -- nm - fabulous squad Jul 16, 08:49
    - Didn't she do that in season 2? I have not watched all of this season so she may have done so again but thought she did so in season 2. -- nm - Spawn Jul 16, 08:42 8
      - I may be wrong. It all runs together. I am trying to like the show but it is just not that good. - Spawn Jul 16, 08:43 7
        
        yes she did, but she did it with TWO clones in one scene. unbelievable. -- nm - loosi Jul 16, 09:26
        
        I agree. I quit in season 2 because of the farm. people say it gets better. - fabulous squad Jul 16, 08:49 2
        
        it's amazing. -- nm - loosi Jul 16, 09:27

        There's been a decent amount of those, but it's certainly bound to happen, given the circumstances. -- nm - Shaun, southpaw Jul 16, 08:45 2
        
        The show comes across as the anti-Babylon 5. Like they did not have a vision of where the series was going. - Spawn Jul 16, 08:48 1
        
        This season wasn't the best starting out, but I thought it got stronger as it went on. -- nm - Shaun, southpaw Jul 16, 08:51
  - seriously! -- nm - loosi Jul 16, 08:38
I just went by a future site that will be a car wash. I think we now have the most car washes per capita than anywhere else in America -- nm - CQ Jul 16, 08:33 2
- they must be great money makers, because I see them everywhere. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 08:33 1

Argh, have to be at the museum for a tour by 9:00 am. I used to be such a morning person... - Meg Jul 16, 08:32
Watch ESPN, under their "Olympics" section, has the Pan Am games. Good news! Beach volleyball! Bad news! It's men! -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 08:31 1

- I think I'm holding it short. - pmb Jul 16, 08:07
- Looks like kind of a tough sell in the middle of summer. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 16, 08:02
- I dunno. I looks terrible. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 16, 07:58 3
  - I bet you looks fine. -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 08:23
  - Well, I don't. But it does. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 16, 07:58 1
    - you look mavahlas dahling -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 08:05
- I think the bigger takeaway from the options is Pixels at 50m. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 07:54 6
  - yeah - that is laughable. I shorted the shit out of those derivatives -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 07:57 5
    - Thing is though, that's supposed to be tracking data 2 weeks out as the foundation of the price - Will Hunting Jul 16, 08:00 4
      - 57 mill here. -- (link) - fabulous squad Jul 16, 08:06 2
        
        I think low 40's...it's a movie right up my nostalgic alley. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 08:14 1
        
        i would say high 40s. but i don't think 50 is out of the question. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 08:44
      - hmmm -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 08:04
So I guess I need to make plans to visit Astoria, Oregon before the earthquake. Anywhere else I need to add to the list? -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 07:49
so, while doing my daily perusal of real estate listings i saw something in Toronto for $65,000. Had to see what could be that cheap. -- (link*) - Andie Jul 16, 07:46 5

- no pets? wth? -- nm - decline Jul 16, 07:49 3
  - also, apparenlty you pay a monthly maintenance fee for it. -- nm - Andie Jul 16, 07:53 2
    - well, that's understandable since you get snow like 10 months of the year or something -- nm - decline Jul 16, 08:01 1
      - 13 months. Lousy Smarch weather. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Jul 16, 08:02
I love Ronda Rousey. That Floyd Mayweather comment is the hardest Floyd's been tagged in a decade. - Will Hunting Jul 16, 07:36 8
- a vine of it -- (link) - decline Jul 16, 07:45 3 1
  - This can only be resolved with a no holds barred street fight. -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 08:37 1

I almost killed the dog this morning. I came downstairs and she had chewed the corner off of the bottle step. I'm guess the entire piece of wood needs - sycor Jul 16, 07:32 18
- Lab? -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 07:33 17
  - English Bulldog. -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 07:48 15
    - you keep plenty of chew toys on hand for it? -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 07:50 14
      - She had 3, two toys and a bone, within 4 feet of the step. -- nm* - sycor Jul 16, 07:55 13
        
        sometimes, they just like the smell of wood. -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 08:03 12
        
        Really? I've never heard that. Stupid dog. Our landlord is not going to be happy. - sycor Jul 16, 08:05 11
        
        I had a lab / cocker mix actually eat through a wooden door. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 08:09 8
        
        We had a lab eat bathroom tile. Another one chewed a hole in the wall. - spamlet Jul 16, 08:13 7
        
        they chew when bored. Hunting breeds especially so. - groiny Jul 16, 08:19 6
        
        Agreed, with very few exceptions. Our Weim is not a heavy chewer and overall is pretty lazy. - Shaun Jul 16, 08:26 5
        
        She went upstairs with me. Then went back downstairs. I was up there for maybe 5 minutes and came down to her having chewed the wood. - sycor Jul 16, 08:29 4
        
        does she go for regular walks? Have a big backyard to run around in? -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 08:30 3
        
        I play with her and run around the house with her. She's a bulldog. She doesn't do much exercising. -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 08:34 2
        
        true, but a wise man once said "A tired dog is a happy dog" - groiny Jul 16, 08:36 1
        
        I will. It's hard working 3 nights a week though and my GF doesn't too much with the dog but play a little and cuddle. - sycor Jul 16, 08:40
        
        before you fix it, you could sprinkle some tabasco sauce on it. - groiny Jul 16, 08:08 1
        
        We have some bitter apple spray. -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 08:17
  - really any hunting breed. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 16, 07:43
btw - Brock Holt apparently was the winning run in the ASG. [nm] - Mel Profit Jul 16, 07:25
Have the good Amazon sales started yet? -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 07:24 1

- Well, there are KKK chapters in non-Confederate states, too. -- nm - mara Jul 16, 07:36 5
  - Shhhhh! -- nm - Oregon Jul 16, 07:42
  - Four in Oklahoma, as of about a year ago. -- (link) - mara Jul 16, 07:39 3
    - f*cktards. I lived there growing up and didn't encounter any KKK types until I moved to Kansas. go figure. -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 07:50 2
      - The KKK is supposedly down to a very small number nationwide. Like 5k or 3k people depending on the estimate. - Will Hunting Jul 16, 07:53 1
        
        that is $ 5k too many -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 07:54
- Neither was Michigan - but that hasn't stopped Kid Rock!! -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 07:26
Commodore is back! -- (link) - Krusty Jul 16, 07:15 18
- Cool. I've been wanting to try this Mutiny dial-up service. -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 07:43
- I'm fairly certain you can run emulators on any Android phone. I had NES emulator on my Nexus 5. - spamlet Jul 16, 07:34 3
  - True. My issue has always been the crappy way you control the games on the phone. - Krusty Jul 16, 07:36 2
    - I had one for my iPhone 4 but it was bulky and didn't work very well. - spamlet Jul 16, 07:38 1
      - I'll look into this when I get a new phone. I've used emulators on my computer but not my phone. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 07:49
- Even if it's terrible, I still have high levels of WANT. -- nm - David Jul 16, 07:33 1

    - Summer Games and Lode Runner for me. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 07:42
    - Miner 2049er for me!! -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 07:36 1
      - Good one. I think I played Pirates! often but not as much as the Summer/Winter/California Games. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 07:43
    - Me too! I played it endlessly. -- nm - Kim Pine Jul 16, 07:29 3
      - I can still hear the music from when you die in the game. :-) -- (edited) - Krusty Jul 16, 07:33 2

Uber question - will they pick up at an airport? -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 07:06 4
- In my experience they can, cause Murica, but if the airports notice them sitting around near the cabs they'll run them off. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 16, 07:50
- Uber has been restricted from several airports. Its iffy. They want to do it, but regulators noticed they werent paying airport taxes like taxis -- nm - budice Jul 16, 07:08
- In most places legally they can't. Not saying they won't. -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 07:07 1

Funny thing I noticed during Prime Day. They had Dragon Age: Inquisition on sale for $45 during a lightning deal. -- (edited) - Shaun Jul 16, 06:56 28
- I'm a little surprised a site like camelcamelcamel.com didn't make a huge push for their price tracking add-on during the sale -- (link) - oblique Jul 16, 07:28 1
  - People were mentioning them on reddit but they could have been out front on this and advertised more. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 07:39
- LMAO, now it's $40 so people who bought it during the uber sweet lightning deal are out $5. -- nm* - Shaun Jul 16, 07:27
- I often wonder about that during a Woot Off, when they were the same price 3 days ago and didn't sell out, yet they crank through them. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 07:07
- I told Kelly they did a helluva job in clearing out a single warehouse of crap they couldn't move prior. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 16, 07:03 23
  - I'm still happy with the little stuff I got, most of it being stuff we would have needed to buy soon anyway (like the vacuum and mattress cover). -- nm - kelly Jul 16, 07:11 20
    - I think a lot of people took advantage of the sale by grabbing everyday items they needed anyway. - Krusty Jul 16, 07:18 12
      - yep. I hope my SIL is excited about the baby bottle warmer. heh-heh... -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 07:18 11
        
        Bottle warmers are da bomb yo. -- nm - Shaun Jul 16, 07:24 7
        
        That's what we thought with the first baby. Then when #2 came - that shit hit the microwave. -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 07:27 5
        
        In times of desparate need, microwave for sure. But nuking it kills all the good stuff in it, assuming breast milk. -- nm - Shaun Jul 16, 07:30 4
        
        It may also alter formula too, but I do not know. -- nm - Shaun Jul 16, 07:31 3
        
        We did formula...and it didn't really hurt it at all. And was WAY easier at 3am. ;) -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 07:34 2
        
        I wouldn't know anything about those 3am feedings. :) -- nm - Shaun Jul 16, 07:42 1
        
        Well, you suck. -- nm - Jim Jul 16, 07:56
        
        that's what my SIL said! -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 07:26
        
        I'm going to a flea market, picking up a beat up old sauce pan for $0.25 and mailing it to her. -- nm* - Mel Profit Jul 16, 07:20 2
        
        I'm with ya there, buddy. -- nm* - kelly Jul 16, 07:43
        
        good thing she's glowing. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 16, 07:27
    - me too. I may have splurged on a couple of soy candles, but I'll forgive myself in the end. :) - Diva Jul 16, 07:16 6
      - I'm in the process of replacing my rusty metal baking pans with silicone ones, so I got a silicone bundt pan. - kelly Jul 16, 08:06
