If I come down with West Nile Virus can I sue my neighbor who has had stagnant water sitting in their above ground pool since last summer? - znufrii Jul 16, 17:13 11
- flaming bag of poop on their doorstep -- nm - Beaker Jul 16, 17:21
- I'm not sure about suing; but, in at least some counties here, you can report neglected pools to vector control departments. maybe check if you can - b. Jul 16, 17:17 3
  - She also hasn't mowed their lawn in forever - znufrii Jul 16, 17:20 1
    - in that case, I'd guess one of her lawns was mown. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 17:21
  - Maybe he's saving the water to sell to some drought stricken Californian for $100 a bottle ;) -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 17:18
- Take a balloon, fill it with bleach like a water balloon and throw it hard enough so that it breaks. Bleach = dead mosquitos -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 17:16 5
  - or, even more fun but maybe more expensive, he could use a small trebuchet to fling mosquito fish into it. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 17:19 4
    - They give those away free here. -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 17:19 3
      - the fish -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 17:20 2
        
        dang, I was hoping they gave away fish trebuchets, because cool! -- nm - b. Jul 16, 17:22 1

bery, lots of lagging and fails. All day. -- nm - mud Jul 16, 17:05 2
- Yep. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 17:12 1
  - My theory is Mel's playing with that message-field thingie and fucked everything. -- nm - mud Jul 16, 17:13
LAG IS BACK. b, you live in the Bay Area. Please fix it -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 17:05 4
- I thought about it myself. some use of the IT Motivational Tool could be therapeutic right about now. -- (edited) - b. Jul 16, 17:07 3
  - Send a drone with a flash drive -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 17:08 2

anyone else get Jason Sudeikis and Paul Rudd confused? - mud Jul 16, 16:28 15
- If you see Sudeikis dance in a What Up With That sketch, you'll never have that problem again. -- nm - Emoticripple Jul 16, 16:48
- Paul Rudd and Ryan Reynolds I get mixed up sometimes. -- nm* - Bacon Jul 16, 16:44
- I don't see the confusion, personally. -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 16:35
- i'd have to really know who they were first. I know Rudd is antman. not much else -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 16, 16:34 9
  - I just googled sudekis. thankfully I have not seen a thing he was in -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 16, 16:36 8
    - I like him and find him rather funny in the movies and shows I've seen him in. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 17:11
    - Yeah, 30 Rock? Terrible show. - con_carne Jul 16, 16:44 6
      - I would have watched it but I have never liked Tracy Morgan -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 16, 16:45 5
        
        that would be more of a factor than jason. he was only in ~12 eps, and many of those were brief appearances. - b. Jul 16, 17:02 4
        
        I never knew that. I only knew he was there at the start, and to me, Tracy sucks all the funny out of a room -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 16, 17:09 3
        
        ah, I'm sorry, I wasn't clear enough. jason was only in ~12 eps, but tracy was in many many more. - b. Jul 16, 17:11 2
        
        Tracy was usually very funny on 30 Rock. He can be a bit much at times but they used him well. -- nm - Krusty Jul 16, 17:12 1
        
        my least fave thing on the show. He might be the reason I've only seen half the series. -- nm - mud Jul 16, 17:15
- Dylan McDermott or Dermot Mulroney -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 16:32 1
  - I've toyed with the idea of changing my ST handle to Dermott McDermott -- nm - con_carne Jul 16, 16:35

- CY is lucky he doesn't drive a cab. -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 16:59
This mechanism Sprint uses to tell you how much you're going to pay if you use your phone in Canada is why T-Mobile is better. -- (link) - Mop Jul 16, 16:25 1
- It seems the best approach is to turn off roaming, turn off the cell antenna entirely, and go wifi. Use Hangouts for calling. -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 16:35

- I'm glad you found it! where are you going? :) - -- nm - b. Jul 16, 15:54 2
  - Nowhere yet. I used to keep it on a shelf and then I was like, wait where's my passport?! - Loyola Jul 16, 16:06 1
    - well, that makes for a very different story! - b. Jul 16, 16:08
- The worst. -- nm - ML Galaxy Jul 16, 15:52
- A coworker had something like that happen the night before a trip one time. - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:51

- I can't believe they were just throwing crap at him on the field and the refs didn't stop play. That's just crazy. Glad he made the play. -- nm - pmb Jul 16, 15:50 1
  - the refs knew they'd have a full on riot if they did -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 15:53
Guilty on all counts for the Aurora Co gunman -- nm - JenBro Jul 16, 15:24 2
- Hey, did you make your reservation for Chicago? -- nm - Covington Jul 16, 15:46 1
  - Yes - right after you told me & mine isn't the one I can re-book. -- nm - JenBro Jul 16, 19:20
Hmm. Low load on the server - it appears to be a communication or routing issue causing the slowdowns. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:24 3
- fwiw, this is the only site that's been having issues for me. between work and sister bill paying and twitter, I've been on several in the last hour. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 15:29 2
  - Same here. -- nm - pmb Jul 16, 15:37
  - Checking with host to try and find other reports -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 15:32

- For relaxing times, make it Suntory time. -- nm - Max Jul 16, 15:15
The Pioneer NEX head units are now compatible with both Google and Apple so that even if you get the most basic unit, it's full featured. - Mop Jul 16, 15:12
Further to the Amy Schumer GQ discussion, I'd like to add that the Kim K. cover of Rolling Stone is an absolute turn-off for me. -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 15:09 1
- I like boobs. That's all that cover is. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 15:50

holycrapoly. I just discovered that my sister opened a new hsn credit card in february and charged more than 4k since then. - b. Jul 16, 14:53 27
- I feel slightly better - it looks like the ~100+ finance charge is only when there are late fees. - b. Jul 16, 16:04
- Im sorry b - eag Jul 16, 15:48 1
  - thank you; and, yes, that's her. - b. Jul 16, 15:54

  - I know you know. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 15:39
- Sorry, b. - spamlet Jul 16, 15:31 1
  - thank you. - b. Jul 16, 15:36
- you may need to do credit monotoring on her (if you are going to continue to try to help) - where you set alerts? I *think* it's possible? - JenBro Jul 16, 15:18 3
  - that's not a bad idea, and it may come to that - thanks. - b. Jul 16, 15:32 2
    - You can freeze her credit and opt-out of prescreened offers. - TWuG Jul 16, 15:38 1

        she is. - b. Jul 16, 16:38
- oof -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 15:00
- that is not a thing that should exist. - Reagen Jul 16, 14:58 1
  - she has some accounts that have close to 30% interest. it's just so gross. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 15:01
- that sucks, sorry....nm - x Jul 16, 14:56 5
  - I have worked to do that so many times. it's much easier said than done in a lasting way. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 14:59 4
    - i understand. but there comes a time....nm - x Jul 16, 15:10 3
      - I really have worked at it. the harshest had her turn to our mom, who could not afford to help but did. - b. Jul 16, 15:19 2
        
        ack...nm - x Jul 16, 15:32 1

- Having site connectivity issues? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 14:32 5
  - My post saying "Bery, I'm having connectivity issues" failed to post so... -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 14:42
  - It was laggy early today -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 14:40
  - I was earlier. Thought maybe it was the work system. -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 14:36 2
    - I think there's internet problems everywhere. We're trying to diagnose some issue right now -- nm - JaxSean Jul 16, 14:37 1
      - ah. carry on then. :) -- nm - sycor Jul 16, 14:38

  - Yeah, something weird is going on. I'm getting connectivity alerts every few hours today. Worrying. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 16, 14:33

'Grace of Monaco' has no business being nominated for Outstanding Television Movie. It was a piece of crap and the only reason it premiered on TV - Diva Jul 16, 14:20 2
- It's this year's "Behind the Candelabra"! -- nm - Mop Jul 16, 14:42 1
  - that wasn't crap, though. -- nm - b. Jul 16, 14:55
I like her just fine, but I don't get the Emmy nod for Emilia Clarke. It's a cool character, but her performance is utterly unremarkable. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 16, 14:16 3
- agreed - -- nm - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 16, 14:18
- Much stronger female leads in that show, I agree. -- nm - Bacon Jul 16, 14:17 1
  - Lena Headey is also deservedly nominated. -- nm - emoticripple Jul 16, 14:20
filmon wins with a potentially landmark ruling re: broadcast streaming. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 16, 14:16 3
- The judge basically admits he's going against precedent and even cites Aereo. I'd imagine this will get squashed at the CofA. -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 14:24 2
  - fwiw, my read was that he was saying the aereo ruling actually was more in favor of filmon than not, but that - b. Jul 16, 14:36 1
    - Hopefully. I want a company like this to succeed but that SCOTUS case was not kind. -- nm - spamlet Jul 16, 15:46

  - I met (Mojave)Meg for the first time alone in her hotel room. We had a good time - zork Jul 16, 15:19 2
    - Did she show you her collection of Despot/Tyrant Teeth? - Mel Profit Jul 16, 15:22 1
      - AKA "foreplay" -- nm - TWuG Jul 16, 15:40
  - I should have offered to take you on a tour of the basement/catacombs of the Walsh Place. -- nm* - Mel Profit Jul 16, 14:50
  - Mmhmm. -- nm - kelly Jul 16, 14:37
  - [deleted] 7
    - we had met. but our first date wasn't until later. -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 14:33 6
      - Granted we were with ST but I still consider Meet Day our first date. - Mel Profit Jul 16, 14:47

        any chance your friend felt he was over the NYC dating field and just needed some different scenery? -- nm - Diva Jul 16, 14:38 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        that part is the oddest to me, which is why I said I'd go the extra-cautions route. - b. Jul 16, 14:38
- oh, I think your concerns are normal. the "then what" depends on the situation - hopefully, they've thought about possibilities. - b. Jul 16, 14:21

    - Did she suck the oil from the engine block? -- nm - Max Jul 16, 15:01
