- 5 pound bottles of honey should come with a free Twister game :))) -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 6, 17:19
- Free is free to people. -- nm - budice Aug 6, 17:18 3

decide a grammar argument... - Andie Aug 6, 16:21 17
- ...you're eager to try it, but I'm just not that flexible. -- nm - Max Aug 6, 16:50
- The idea is compelling. I know... -- nm - Imperator Aug 6, 16:46 1
  - Yeah, I'd go with the complete separation here. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 16:59
- Depends on the message you're trying to send. No comma, regardless. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 16:22 13
  - Your suggestion is very compelling, and I know it comes from a good place, but I just gotta have the comma. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 16:48
  - Gotta have the comma. -- nm - Imperator Aug 6, 16:47
  - agreed with the first part, not with the second. - b. Aug 6, 16:24 9
    - I agree with b. - ReluctantCynic (mini ruiner) Aug 6, 16:29 8
      - and usually doesn't take a comma though. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 16:57 6
        
        you can sometimes get away with not using one (short, clear clauses); but it's always correct if a compound sentence is created. -- nm - b. Aug 6, 17:01 5
        
        there's grammatical correctness, and there's good writing. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 17:02 4
        
        There's technical writing and there's literature. And there's the bathroom. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 17:07

        (ok, you can be invited, too; but you only get generic treats and beverages.) -- nm - b. Aug 6, 17:08
      - and, or, nor, but, for, so, yet! -- nm - b. Aug 6, 16:34
  - yeah, the comma is there because that isn't the actual start of the sentence, but, point taken. -- nm - Andie Aug 6, 16:24

  - Well, I guess when they were deciding between giving hairtime to Trump or to Harper, Harper won ... -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 16:20
- Stolen from reddit - Reagen Aug 6, 16:12
- So what's the odds on NDP and Liberals forming a workable coalition if Harper doesn't win a majority? -- nm - jangles Aug 6, 15:47 8
  - Trudeau has said never, but that's probably realpolitik - Reagen Aug 6, 15:52 6
    - In fact, if he said that, it would completely legitimize the NDP and further their lead, IMO. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 15:56 3
      - yes, this is what I mean by losing support - Reagen Aug 6, 16:00 2
        
        Do you think the Conservatives' anti-Trudeau campaign will help drive the NDP to a win? - Beryllium Aug 6, 16:19 1
        
        It's aimed at keeping Red Torys in the fold, so probably no effect on the NDP. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 16:22
    - This. -- nm - Mop Aug 6, 15:56
    - Yeah, this is kind of what I'm thinking. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 6, 15:56

  - She's running for the VP spot -- nm - jangles Aug 6, 15:48
- Not sure if a joke or not (b/c Twitter) but she may have left her closing remarks on the hotel printer -- nm - ty97 Aug 6, 15:30 1
  - Apparently legit (TPM) -- nm - jangles Aug 6, 15:46
- I hope she is able to jump into what the conventional wisdom considers the "top tier" of Republican candidates. - ReluctantCynic (mini ruiner) Aug 6, 15:26 3

  - from his past reputation, I'd have to say I'm not that skeptical. -- nm - Reagen Aug 6, 15:36 12
    - He hasn't been anything like "that guy" for quite a while. And getting into a fight with a cab driver is very different from rape. As is partying a - pmb Aug 6, 15:54 11
      - he had that very drunk cinco de mayo in 2012. - b. Aug 6, 15:58 10
        
        Drunken behavior is not surprising, but still rape would surprise me. - pmb Aug 6, 16:02 9
        
        reserving judgment is entirely appropriate and advisable. - b. Aug 6, 16:06 2
        
        I'm tilting towards giving him the benefit of the doubt until I hear some specifics about what is alleged and how reliable the evidence is. - pmb Aug 6, 16:18 1
