Turn on CNBC for your hotties of the day. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 13:42
104 today. New record high. Ugh. -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 13:35 3
- Welcome to Las Vegas! -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 11, 13:40 1
  - B-But if I was in Las Vegas, I'd be at your place. -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 13:44
- hot enough for ya? -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 13:36
But seriously, this Donald Trump gag isn't over yet? -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 13:33 1
- Wouldn't it be cool if this was the last trolling attempt, like, EVER? That after this was revealed to be a gag, gags would suddenly cease to exist? -- nm - Qale Aug 11, 13:45
Man, Tom Brady even helps *other people* cheat. -- (link) - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 11, 13:28 3
- What he doesn't do, though, is get his jaw busted by one of his own players -- nm - prayformojo Aug 11, 13:32 2
  - I basically equate Tom Brady to Lance Armstrong now. -- nm - CQ Aug 11, 13:46 1
    - well, they both have a deflated ball. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 13:50
If anyone clicked that Newsweek article (like spammy, I refused to give them the click) who wrote it? - ty97 Aug 11, 13:15 8
- I just cliked it a SECOND time to find out for you, it is Rick Perlstein. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 13:18 2
  - Where is this article that everyone is clicking on? I too would like to click on it. -- nm - Loyola Aug 11, 13:41 1
    - Post by Ender on B2 -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 13:44
- I didn't click on the link in the tweet, but it's by Rick Perlstein. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 13:16 4
  - His book The Invisible Bridge, about the 70s, is great -- nm - jangles Aug 11, 13:21 1
    - The reviews were great, but I haven't read it. -- nm - mara Aug 11, 13:23
  - Thanks. And for anyone interested, here's a mediaite link about the article (you can give them the click) -- (link) - ty97 Aug 11, 13:20 1
    - Reading both links, I think I'd rather give the click to Newsweek. Not that I buy Perlstein's argument, but mediaite's is just a kneejerk reaction -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 13:29
Congratulations Volnelk and Mel! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 11, 13:14 1
- Thanks. Very excited. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 11, 14:19
45 degree tilt girl is back with a new trend. She's been posting a series of "country living" pics, tilted of course (you know fucking why) what's new - CQ Aug 11, 13:09 1
- We should have ST Nemesis Rankings -- nm - jangles Aug 11, 13:22

- chupacabra? -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 13:05
Steelers sign FA PK Garrett Hartley. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 12:59 1
- I'm glad he had a fallback after Tron. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 13:01
I'm pretty sure the only solution is to start arming all Quarterbacks. - NRA Aug 11, 12:48 1
- quarterbacks should already have a great arm. kickers do not need any arms, just a foot. -- nm* - Peglegpete Aug 11, 12:58
4 years ago today Warrant singer Jani Lane died -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 12:40
This could easily be the most WTF thing you see this month. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:33 4
- I miss college. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 12:47
- that was bewildering. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:37 2
  - This kotaku article might help give it some context -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:39 1
    - But then you'd have to read something on kotaku... -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 11, 12:49
Here's something I wouldn't have thought possible: I did a system update forgetting that I was Chromecasting Netflix - Reagen Aug 11, 12:33 4
- Yeah, it'll keep going for 4 or 5 episodes (half hour each) until it prompts you with "Are you still there?" -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 12:35 3
  - but through a system update, that's a bit impressive. Where's the data coming from? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:37 2
    - What Ender said. I've used this trick a few times when I couldn't find my charger, and knew my IPad's battery was about to die. -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 12:59
    - The data never comes through the computer. The Chromecast pulls it straight from the net. The pc just tells the dongle where to get it. -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 12:44
Legal Nerd News: Lawrence Lessig may run for President! -- (link) - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Assistant Ruiner) Aug 11, 12:32 2
- Of..? -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 12:42
- How will the Berniacs choose now?! -- nm - jangles Aug 11, 12:33
I would have loved to receive home-cooked meals after I arrived home from the hospital. Yessiree. -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 12:27 2
- But I would have had to cook them. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 12:28 1
  - You would have been doing something, anything to help me. Trust me, that would have been enough. -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 12:33
PPP has Hillary losing to Ben Carson in Iowa. *whew* - ML Aug 11, 12:25 19
- It really does say something that no other Democrat contender ("Sit down Bernie.") had the foresight or imagination to see an alternative would get... - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:28 18
  - I can't help but think every one of these polls is drawing Biden's attention. - ML Aug 11, 12:30 15
    - Because polls 14 months out are super predictive - jangles Aug 11, 12:33 14
      - My comment is less about her ability to win the general and more about the lack of ambition within the party to attempt to beat her. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:38 13
        
        The party (save the Warren Wing) is united behind her because they know she is the best chance to win - jangles Aug 11, 12:47 4
        
        I refuse to believe she was the only Democrat that could "eek" out a win. Your IM is setting a low bar. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:58 3
        
        Not the only. The best chance -- nm - jangles Aug 11, 12:59 2
        
        Yeah, I guess I just wonder how ambitious Democrat pols looked at HRC's not-insignificant unfavourables and still saw, "Best Chance". -- (edited) - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 13:03 1
        
        Her favorables within the party are still super high -- (edited) - jangles Aug 11, 13:25
        
        Honestly, I don't think there are 4 or 5 serious candidates - Will Hunting Aug 11, 12:42 7
        
        If there was no Hillary, some governor or senator would have taken a run. I know the Republicans have been taking more and more of those "undercard".. - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:53 6
        
        If Hillary was not available, who would be running? - Roger More Aug 11, 13:22

        Problem is for them, after the last 7 years of Obama, young promise is a natural corrective condition. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 13:13
        
        I'm not sure those guys are ready for prime time yet. I'm hoping they're ready for the next go around though (hopefully in 8 years). -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 13:09 1
        
        Castro seems like the front runner for Veep to me. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 13:13
        
        Talk down here is that our current Mayor (Kasim Reed) has a future nationally. - Strongbad Aug 11, 13:03
  - Huh. I don't even remember this wager. :) -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 12:29 1
    - It's a year old. You gave me the field vs. HRC. I have it in my wagers notes. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:35
For the record, I've never been to Colorado. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:19
Hearthstone has convinced me that, for some reason, some people are just naturally always lucky and some are naturally always unlucky. -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 12:13 32
- razzin frazzin Dr. Boom.... -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Aug 11, 12:27 1
  - I managed to open him fairly early. Sitting on 1600 dust to make whatever busted legendary is in the new expansion. -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 12:28
- this is a great poll: Overall are you " Lucky", " Unlucky" " tediously neutral"? - Pippy Aug 11, 12:23 29
  - I make my own luck. *stuffing my coat with money and the diamond* -- nm - Cal Hockley Aug 11, 13:49
  - Very lucky. I have been called by a few people, "the luckiest boy I know." -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 13:10
  - unlucky -- nm - decline Aug 11, 13:00
  - my luck does not go beyong a great parking space at malls, casino's, etc. - Peglegpete Aug 11, 12:56
  - Tedious -- nm - jangles Aug 11, 12:53
  - I consider myself very lucky on the whole to be where I am and have had the opportunities I've had. But on the winning contests, finding parking, etc - pmb Aug 11, 12:52
  - Lucky with a few large unlucky moments. -- nm - Walt_Disney Aug 11, 12:52
  - Lucky. I prefer to think of some people as having a proverbial black cloud over them. - JaxSean Aug 11, 12:46
  - Lucky -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 12:44
  - lucky lucky lucky. I'm so lucky I'm jealous of myself. (except for that "paint the ceiling" bullshit.) -- nm - fabulous squad Aug 11, 12:44
  - [deleted]
  - Neutral. -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 12:37
  - lucky -- nm - CQ Aug 11, 12:35
  - Generally and slightly on the side of unlucky. - ReluctantCynic (Deputy Assistant Ruiner) Aug 11, 12:33
  - More lucky than unlucky. -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 12:33
  - I'd place myself somewhere between lucky and neutral. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:32
  - I don't believe in luck, but if I did I'd view myself as tremendously lucky. -- nm - ML Aug 11, 12:32
  - Neutral. Wins some. Loses some. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 11, 12:28
  - So unlucky that I should be studied. -- nm - Tim Aug 11, 12:28
  - i have to go with Lucky. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:26 2
    - How modest -- nm - jangles Aug 11, 12:58 1
      - that's a whole different poll. -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 12:59
  - Lucky -- nm - Pippy Aug 11, 12:24
  - Unlucky. I avoid gambling because I know my luck isn't good. My toast always lands butter side down. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 12:24
  - Pretty lucky everywhere but a casino where if I bother to play slots I just lose straight away. -- nm - spamlet, Reigning Blood Feud Champion Aug 11, 12:24
  - Unlucky -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 12:23 3
    - Hmm. -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 12:37 2
      - Not completely unlucky, just trends to be unlucky. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 12:38 1
        
        Just, based on the original IM, I don't think I would have considered you unlucky. Probably neutral. -- nm - kelly Aug 11, 12:42

  - YAY ... wait - you didn't rip into both right away??? -- nm - JenBro Aug 11, 16:08
- Mine was supposed to get there yesterday too. hmmmmm -- nm - CQ Aug 11, 12:13
Dinklage was replaced as the voice of the Ghost in Destiny mostly for availability reasons. - Shaun Aug 11, 12:12
There needs to be a Vulvatron for *every* grabby douche. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 11, 12:10
LIR - Diva - my one suggestion (and CONGRATS TOO) - put it into 2 smaller pans - JenBro Aug 11, 12:08 3
- Thx! (I'm planning to do this with the pot pie.) -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 12:10 2
  - they get both??? you really ARE a wonderful auntie - JenBro Aug 11, 12:11 1
    - you are so sweet. Thank you. (I can't do enough for them right now, you know?) -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 12:12
So fights always break out in NFL training camps, but are more fights happening now with greater severity or are we just hearing about more fights - Diva Aug 11, 12:06 5
- I think there are probably less fights today, but we just have too much information. - ML Aug 11, 12:10
- media media media. I'm waiting to see what the back up to the back up kicker is having for breakfast tomorrow. Need the info -- nm - CQ Aug 11, 12:09
- should the players protecting the QB on the field be standing up for him in the locker room too? - Pippy Aug 11, 12:09
- The starting QB getting their face broke? news -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 12:09
- I think we're hearing about it more -- nm - Remlik Aug 11, 12:07
Oil below $43 per barrel. -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 12:05 1

12 scenes from the Fantastic Four trailer that definitely weren't in the movie. -- (link) - Mop Aug 11, 11:57 2
- all the goods one I made! -- nm - Trank Aug 11, 12:00 1
  - if it wasn't for the stories about how there were massive issues about 9-12 months ago, I'd think he's got sour grapes - Will Hunting Aug 11, 12:06
Whoops. Skipping breakfast probably *doesn't* make you fat. -- (link) - ML Aug 11, 11:56 4
- I'll wait to hear what Dr Oz says. -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 12:01
- No. But it does make me effing hungry and more likely to overeat throughout the rest of the day. - Kim Pine Aug 11, 12:00 2
  - I am the opposite. If I eat breakfast, it primes the appetitite to want more, sooner. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 12:07 1
    - "Does this sound like a man who had all he could eat?" -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 12:07

While we muse on tragedies of the world, how have we not discussed that the Kate Upton Experience website has not updated since March of 2015?!? -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 11:55 5
- Charlotte McKinney is the new Kate Upton. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 12:25 2
  - yup - and her choice of boyfriends is just as strange -- nm - Pippy Aug 11, 12:46
  - I see what you mean -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 12:29
- The last pics I saw of her were not...great. It's clear that she needed to work her ass off (literally) to stay in model shape, and she has slipped. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:59 1
  - I blame the baseballplayer. -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 12:00
re: Rousey in Furious 7: She was pretty atrocious, from an acting standpoint. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 11:52 9
- Up and at them. -- nm - Baron Bing Bong Aug 11, 12:10
- it takes a lot to throw under Gina Carano. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:57
- I haven't seen Entourage but I assume she was better in that playing more herself. -- nm - Max Aug 11, 11:54
- True and that was one of my biggest issues (spoilers) - amoxy Aug 11, 11:54 4
