    - It was proving the concept. No way that it can be denied that it was a specific testing condition. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 09:49 5
      - I mean, you can prove the concept in real-world conditions *not in actual traffic* - ML Jul 21, 09:51

        Again, detractors will claim it's not a reasonable test. - spamlet Jul 21, 09:52 2
        
        You test it on a test track under controlled conditions with others aware of the situation. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:54
        
        A "reasonable test" is one done on a closed track replicating real world conditions. NOT ON THE FUCKING FREEWAY. -- nm - TWuG Jul 21, 09:53

YouTube launching paid service. Not Hollywood movies and TV shows. Will you pay to see PewDiePie? -- (link) - Mop Jul 21, 09:29 7
- It's basically buying your way out of ads. Nothing else will change from what I've seen. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 09:50

  - It's a bit of a good news/bad news deal. - Mop Jul 21, 09:38 2

Friending Mafic on Fitbit may have been a tactical error. -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:12 17
- I never even looked at the friend thing. requests sent to a couple of you :) -- nm - decline Jul 21, 09:37 1
  - Humorously, I thought we were already friends right up until Dano mentioned he was competing with Kim. - David Jul 21, 09:42
- How badly are you lagging behind? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:19 14
  - 8k -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:23 10
    - get on a stairmaster you sloth. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:31 7
      - *arches eyebrow* How many steps does your Fitbit say you've taken this week? -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:32 6
        
        A. I don't have a fitbit. B. I'm on a stairmaster 5 days a week for 45 minutes each time. - Remlik Jul 21, 09:35 5
        
        Get a Fitbit. -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:41
        
        Fitbit is just for those that want to show what they did. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:37 3
        
        Meatbags are competitive... - Mel Profit Jul 21, 09:41 2
        
        It really does work. Kim's sisters go to *war* on Fitbit. -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:43 1
        
        it's interesting being in the center of the development of these devices. - Mel Profit Jul 21, 09:47
    - 8 kilometers, so what, about a mile? -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:26
    - Well, it's only noon ... you've got time to catch up. It's like midnight there. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:23

hey Chicago ST'ers - trying to get an idea of who all wants to do the Saturday night boat cruise - so I set up an "event" that sent you all an invite - JenBro Jul 21, 09:08 3
- thanks for putting this together. - Pippy the Blank Slate Jul 21, 09:16 1
  - sure thing :) -- nm - JenBro Jul 21, 09:24
- thx. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 09:09
oblique, congratulations on your achievement -- (link) - ML Jul 21, 09:08
Can someone try something on Amazon for me? Wishlists seem to be broken for me. Can you add or delete anything from your wishlist? -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 09:01 2
- An error occurred, please try again in a moment -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:02 1
  - Gracias. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 09:05
FWIW - you've been more responsive regarding the 100 best American films list than our 130k twitter followers. -- nm - LMS Jul 21, 08:59
Has anyone tried out Jet.com yet? -- (link) - spamlet Jul 21, 08:55 1
- Amazon has already proven that the lowest prices on 10 million-plus goods isn't necessarily all that appealing. -- nm - Mop Jul 21, 10:01
Ok, card collector types...so I have a box of Bowman Inception Baseball to break and Review. This is an all auto set, pretty high end, so I'm pumped - Jim Jul 21, 08:55 34
- Does that noise go off every time you open a pack? -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 08:59
- Is it active players or farmhands? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 08:58 3
  - Looks like a lot of farmhands. Which is even more surprising to me. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:02 2
    - Bowman generally is prospect heavy though, right? -- nm - Tim Jul 21, 09:06 1
      - yes -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:08
- are all the cards just Bryce and Trout? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:57 22
  - There's a lot of prospects in the set. And I guess, since all the Cardinals prospects are in the bigs right now, they get nothing. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:58 21
    - well, you have no Oscar Tavares anymore. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:06 20
      - I guess. We do, however, have most of our prospects on the MLB roster right now, I guess that's not prospect-y enough. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:18 19
        
        none are really the bright and shiny ones. -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:18 18
        
        Apparently not. I would have thought Piscotty would have been the guy in this set. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:21 17
        
        Maybe he didn't return the cards...happens. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:22 12
        
        Possible. Either way, it's a 1-pack, 5-card box. 4 Autographs and 1 Auto-Relic. Some good names in here... - Jim Jul 21, 09:24 11
        
        wait. 1 pack in the box with 5 cards and that is it? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:25 10
        
        5 autographed cards. - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:26
        
        Yep. Retail price is right around $80. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:26 8
        
        side note: do you record your openings and post them to Youtube? people will watch that -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:28 5
        
        He does. More would watch if he would wear some clothes, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:36 2
        
        you kidding me, nekkid is the only way to review cards. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:39 1
        
        I watch mainly becuase you make me feel better about myself. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 21, 09:43
        
        I sure do. vannestjc is the username for the video breaks. Then I post up written reviews over at BOP. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:30 1
        
        cool -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:32
        
        good Lord. -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:28 1
        
        Yeah, this is a pretty nice mid-high end set. -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:30
        
        that is not a baseball name, that is a cookie you dip in coffee. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:21 3
        
        You'll get to see a lot of him starting tonight. You can tell me what you think. :) -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:23 2
        
        What? The only time the two teams played was a couple of weeks ago and we swept. - spamlet Jul 21, 09:28 1
        
        But what if you sweep again? -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 09:31
- I'd argue that there are no superstars on the Cardinals is the bigger problem. - spamlet Jul 21, 08:56 3
  - I'm really surprised there's no Wacha in the set -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:58 2
    - he is still under the radar, for the most part. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:06
    - Yeah, I guess he'd be the closest. -- nm - spamlet Jul 21, 08:59
- Odd. I'm surprised they wouldn't have at least one from every team. Get those guys that have to get the one auto from their team. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:56 1
  - Apparently, there are also no Rays in the set. And only 1 player each from the Brewers and Braves. The hell man? -- nm - Jim Jul 21, 08:57
Reminder - it's Starbond adjust day -- nm - LMS Jul 21, 08:55
Apple is broken right now -- (link) - decline Jul 21, 08:55
nmb Remlik ... - Krusty Jul 21, 08:54 [Backboard] 7
- I'm similar. -- nm - mud Jul 21, 09:18
- wow. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 08:56 5
  - Yup. Lots of soft foods in my future. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:58 4
    - insurance won't help take care of this? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:09 3
      - Nope. It will pay for xrays and minor work but the big stuff isn't covered. - Krusty Jul 21, 09:19 2
        
        so.... - Remlik Jul 21, 09:40 1
        
        Just the start. That's just one tooth with a bone graft to replace the bone that was lost. - Krusty Jul 21, 09:58
Destiny re: weapons. I think I'm just too in love with the combos that work for me to bother effing around with different weapons. - Shaun Jul 21, 08:50 29
- Most have yet to be touched. Doing the sheet to figure out what to keep, what to reroll, what to shard. - Spawn Jul 21, 08:52 2
  - I'm to the point that I'm going to start deleting stuff. My vault has one open space, and all my characters have 8 weapon slots filled. -- nm - David Jul 21, 09:08 1
    - Yup. That is what I am wanting to avoid. I dislike carrying more than I need as it slows you down when switching. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:09
- I like to level guns up before dismantling them, so I have a bunch to work with. - groiny Jul 21, 08:52 25
  - BADGER FTW! -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 08:57 22
    - December 2014 called and it wants its scout rifle back. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 09:08 5
      - dude I dominate with that damn thing. It's hilarious... - Remlik Jul 21, 09:12
      - Cut him some slack, Remlik has one character. - Spawn Jul 21, 09:10 3
        
        I'm gonna hit 99% completion! I will say I;m struggling with the last two mines. 42 tanks I have to kill? jesus. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:14 2
        
        The last one *sucked*. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:14 1
        
        how many tanks? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:36
    - I used to use a maxed one, I dismantled it because there are better options out there. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:03 15
      - like? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:14 13
        
        Gheleon's Demise, Deadshot Luna, Shadow 701 X, Fang of Ir Yut. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:16 12
        
        who has the best rate of fire with a maximum amount of ammo with an active radar and group damage? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:32 11
        
        Badger holds 14 shots. Shadow holds 21. Thanks for playing, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:34 7
        
        what's the damage and reload speed on a shadow? -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:36 6
        
        Deadshot Luna full auto. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 21, 10:02 [youtube]
        
        why don't you trust me, Remlik? - groiny Jul 21, 09:38 4
        
        just getting opinions from a diff source. You two both know it well, but come at it from diff perspectives. -- nm - Remlik Jul 21, 09:38 3
        
        Badger reloads slower but has more range and a little more impact. The Badger rate of fire is about half that of the NL Shadow. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:44 1
        
        which, on a good reroll, can be better. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:49
        
        it is the exact reason why I don't dismantle without playing with it first. - groiny Jul 21, 09:41
        
        since you can re-roll, any of them could be. - groiny Jul 21, 09:34
        
        Probably the Deadshot Luna when rolled with full auto, explosive rounds and third eye. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 09:33
        
        Shaft? -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 09:33
      - Yeah, I liked it well enough for a while but I moved on. The Shadow 701 is still my fav, by far. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 09:08
  - Learn how to aim the Deadshot Luna on full auto and you will love it :) -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 08:56 1
    - yeah, I have been playing with the Shadow 701, and it is also a rapid fire monster too. nm -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 09:00
Roger Waters "Amused to Death" gets the remaster treatment later this month (it *really* needed it), new video of him and Jeff Beck -- (link) - Remlik Jul 21, 08:50 1
- Niiiiiiiiice -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 08:53
Remlik - can you flip me an email? - Roger More Jul 21, 08:50
Forger steals painting and replaces them with his own forgeries. Notices his paintings then stolen and replaced with other forgeries -- (link) - Beaker Jul 21, 08:48 1
- That's funny and nuts. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 08:55
Hi. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 08:48 1
- ~hello me, it's me again. ~ -- nm - groiny Jul 21, 08:49
