- oof, that's freaking scary. :/ -- nm - b. Oct 5, 15:33
STIS: Is there a way to stop the Chrome browser on my phone from refreshing when I open it? - Krusty Oct 5, 15:28 4
- android phone? for me, only some sites autorefresh; so I think it's site-dependent - I don't know about reddit, but you may want to try turning-off - b. Oct 5, 15:40 2
  - ^ I should have mentioned that, if you turn-off javascript, you will be trading off new posts loading automatically. - b. Oct 5, 15:46 1
    - Thanks! I'll see what happens. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 15:59
- Smash your phone with a large hammer -- nm - jangles Oct 5, 15:28
I can't recall ever eating an anything mcmuffin - jangles Oct 5, 15:27 4
- Stop being Spawn. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 5, 15:41
- you're missing out. I prefer homemade breakfast sandwiches with them, so I don't have to have white muffins (yah, I discriminate); but even theirs -- (edited) - b. Oct 5, 15:31 1
  - Yep, they're really yummy. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 5, 15:38
- this morning I ate a subway 6" breakfast sandwich -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 15:27
I know how serious alcoholism is but the timing of this seems shady. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 15:11 4
- Thinking PEDs? -- nm - budice Oct 5, 15:15 3
  - I really don't think so. But the timing is so bad that it makes me wonder if there's something else. - Krusty Oct 5, 15:19 2
    - I wouldn't be surprised if there was some related very very bad behavior that precipitated the move. - b. Oct 5, 15:25 1
      - Could be. I hope he gets better but it seems shady with the timing. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 15:29
Anyone familiar with Getflix? Bitsdujour has a lifetime subscription for $39 today. Apparently it allows people to use netflix, etc. from anywhere. -- (link) - GregW Oct 5, 14:57 6
- Is there some device that you can't access Netflix with somewhere? -- nm - jangles Oct 5, 15:08 1
  - I guess they do not talk specificially about netflix, it is all of these streaming sites. -- (link) - GregW Oct 5, 15:11
- Does this work in reverse? -- nm - David Oct 5, 15:05 3
  - for Netflix to watch you? -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 15:06 2
    - I'm so much more than nine dollars a month. -- nm - David Oct 5, 15:07
    - "Original programming" -- nm - ML Galaxy Oct 5, 15:07
Will. They're writing more Mitch Rapp novels with a different author. - ML Oct 5, 14:43 3
- Yeah, his estate is Clancy-lite now. Except he was never that good. - Will Hunting Oct 5, 14:47
- good. perhaps they might get good again. -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 14:46 1
  - :-O - ML Galaxy Oct 5, 14:59
When McDonald’s starts offering all-day breakfast on Tuesday, not all stores will be offering hash browns. -- (link) - ty97 Oct 5, 14:39 26
- Or biscuits, like the one at Hollywood & Highland yesterday - jangles Oct 5, 14:55
- #hashbrownpocalypse -- nm - ML Oct 5, 14:42 7
  - I would strongly consider having two hashbrowns instead of fries -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:45 6
    - That's their best breakfast menu option. Without them I don't want anything else. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 15:07 4
      - I just want the Sausage Biscuit. I am in "McMuffin" territory and will rage if I can't get it -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 15:10 3
        
        Word. I'm right there with you. The only food I eat from them are the sausage biscuit and hash browns. They're just fucking with us with this phony - Krusty Oct 5, 15:13 2
        
        they were honest up front. here's the relevant bit from a wsj story on the initial release. - b. Oct 5, 15:23 1
        
        I never read anything like that. Still, my needs! ;-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 15:48
    - That's what you get when you super size a breakfast combo -- nm - zork Oct 5, 15:02
- They started it at my local DC Sunday night. Chicken and pancakes is apparently the hottest menu item. -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 14:42 2
  - the hottest menu for they gay to order, eat, and then go home and throw up? -- nm - ty97 Oct 5, 14:44 1
    - You don't want to see the drunk kickball gays on Sundays. McDonald's is like the last option after the bar to take someone home. -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 14:48
- The ones here already are offering it, I think. - JaxSean Oct 5, 14:42 1
  - yah, I saw signs already over the weekend in my/my mom's area; but nothing said it's a limited menu. -- nm - b. Oct 5, 14:46
- And stores will either have biscuit or muffin sandwiches but not both. -- nm - spamlet Oct 5, 14:42 10
  - WTF McDonald's!?! No hash browns and possibly no biscuits? Are they serving breakfast or not? I heard no pancakes or McGridle either. - Krusty Oct 5, 15:04
  - I prefer muffin over biscuit myself -- nm - eag Oct 5, 14:43 8
    - Biscuits are so much better. The McMuffin is dry and flavorless to me. Biscuits 4 life, yo! -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 15:10 2
      - Usually yes but if they overcook the biscuit it's terrible. - iSpam Oct 5, 15:12
      - YEAH!!! -- nm - David Oct 5, 15:11
    - I can go either way with the biscuit or the muffin -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 15:03 4
      - Anyone who chooses muffin over biscuit probably thinks Batman could beat Superman in a fight -- nm - jangles Oct 5, 15:07 3
        
        The muffin holds together better the biscuit generally kind of collapses -- nm - eag Oct 5, 15:11 1
        
        if by holds together you mean "stretches like rubber" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 15:18
        
        And they would be right. -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 15:07
- Nooooo! That's the best part! - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:40
Hey b ? - eag Oct 5, 14:37 4
- :) - - b. Oct 5, 14:45 3
  - :-) - eag Oct 5, 14:54 2
    - owie, good thoughts to them! -- nm - b. Oct 5, 15:01 1
      - Yes - eag Oct 5, 15:05
This is a great breakdown of the science of The Martian (plot spoils, duh) -- (link) - ML Oct 5, 14:34 4

  - Your objections to smart people have been noted, thanks. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 15:05 2
    - Needed more hexadecimal -- nm - jangles Oct 5, 15:14 1
      - Next time just say "NEEEEERRRDDDS", Ogre. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 15:19
Oh joy, I have a voicemail from the dealership. This is NOT what I wanted. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 14:31 5
- they are suing you for slander and defamation? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 14:46
- Then why complain publicly if you didn't want them to act on it? -- nm* - spamlet Oct 5, 14:41 2
  - yes, I don't understand. - b. Oct 5, 14:47
  - Because this site wasn't live yet. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:42
- If you just stay strong, eventually they'll be so frustrated at being unable to appease you, they'll just give you a car. - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:39
NHL Suspends Raffi Torres 41 Games -- nm - Beaker Oct 5, 14:20 3
- If he really can't figure out what he's doing wrong, let's just make that suspension permanent. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 15:03
- Just saw the hit on deadspin...good. - Will Hunting Oct 5, 14:38
- :( - he is a freaking idiot, and that was a horrible hit. ugh. (ed. to add link, for anyone who doesn't know what happened.) nm but: -- (link*) -- (link*) - b. Oct 5, 14:26
I saw Luck's Subluxation in '95 opening for Prodigy at First Avenue. Great show. -- nm - ML Oct 5, 14:10
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM (link) - ML Oct 5, 14:07 4
- I think if there is life out there, space is like the Atlantic ocean in the time of Columbus. Except it's a trillion times wider and we have no ships. -- nm - Loyola Oct 5, 14:21
- on the planet Skaro, things developed very differently -- nm* - Peglegpete Oct 5, 14:20
- common knowledge. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 14:19
- ^ doom level HAL. -- nm - b. Oct 5, 14:12
your doggie selfie tool photos of the day. nm but: -- (link) - b. Oct 5, 14:04
After someone ate the verified banana, they left the verified sticker on a chairback. - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:02
"Jack doesn’t even bother to respond because he knows Rose has eyes." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 13:53
Huh. Edward Snowden has offered to do jail time as part of a plea deal allowing him back in the US. -- (link) - znufrii Oct 5, 13:48 9
- Presuming that it wasn't treason and was just uberwhistleblowing, what does ST think would be a fair amount of time in prison? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 13:56 7
  - A few years of jail time, but credit for time serve in exile. - ReluctantCynic Oct 5, 14:59
  - 1 day. -- nm - Krusty Oct 5, 14:25
  - 2-3 -- nm - CQ Oct 5, 14:14
  - Zero. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:58 3
    - ... didn't he lie to get the job? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:00 2
      - Should that result in prison time? -- nm - psilotum Oct 5, 14:57 1
        
        At a normal company, no. One could argue that his employer - though not directly a government agency, IIRC - was not a normal company. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 15:00
- Russia sucks *that much*. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:50
OK, I'm back. Did Hugh Grant knock anyone up while I was gone? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 13:47 1
- day's not over yet -- nm - ML Oct 5, 14:17
Someone help me. My industry spreadsheet for EVE Online has 15 tabs - oblique Oct 5, 13:39 1
- *delete all* .......does that help? :) -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 5, 13:47
Somebody check on Mop. He hasn't posted to Facebook in three hours. -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:37 3
- Really? Shit. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:40 2
  - You *need* more fiber -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 13:45
  - *resets the clock* -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:40
LOL. Star Wars Battlefront gif -- (link) - ML Oct 5, 13:36 [Image] 2
- heh -- nm - JaxSean Oct 5, 14:39
- so pretty much like Halo then :) -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:39
So last night my BIL was getting me to agree to show up with him at the Argos box office tomorrow night for the game. "No problem, it's the Argos" ... - zork Oct 5, 13:35
Lir: recycling saves landfill space, especially on the west coast, tacoma trash gets hauled 200 miles over cascades -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 13:30
Stop the presses: Will Smith will stage a world tour next year with DJ Jazzy Jeff and has 30 new songs recorded. -- nm - Spawn Oct 5, 13:27 4

  - I can think of someone in your house who will appreciate it! -- nm - ty97 Oct 5, 14:26

  - *adjusts his hat and tie* -- nm - The Doorman Oct 5, 13:43
Thanks to ty97, not only do I have "Get on Your Feet" as an earworm, I keep playing this scene over and over in my mind ... -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Oct 5, 13:23 [youtube] 1
- Considering how many ads they have played for it, I basically have the song in my head multiple times a day so - ty97 Oct 5, 13:29
The Trans-Pacific Partnership has been agreed to. -- (link) - spamlet Oct 5, 13:22 17
- Great, don't worry about minimum wage, you can use child labor, they even have slaves, literally slaves, no retirement either, just dumb the bodies -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 5, 13:43 2
  - That's going to happen with or without the TPP. There may be more labor protections in the agreement. It was discussed. -- nm - iSpam Oct 5, 13:53 1
    - "The TPP deal announced on Monday also sets minimum standards on issues ranging from workers’ rights to environmental protection." -- nm - spamlet Oct 5, 14:04
- Depending on who gets elected here in two weeks, we may or may not be in based on the sabre rattling. -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:28 2
  - I think it will cost Harper any chance he had at getting elected -- nm - Beaker Oct 5, 13:29 1
    - Name your stakes. ;-) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Oct 5, 13:45
- so, when do we get to find out what's actually in it? -- nm - znufrii Oct 5, 13:24 9
  - Now that it's been agreed to we will. - iSpam Oct 5, 13:39 2
    - Yep - the people who know they'll be worse off are a lot louder than the people who don't realise they'll be better off. - Roger More Oct 5, 13:44 1
      - I definitely agree to the IM -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:57
  - seriously, this whole thing pisses me off. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 13:29 5
    - Justin made a point of Harper being secretive about the contents. -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:39 4
      - But he didn't go as far as condemning the deal itself. - Beryllium Oct 5, 13:42 3
        
        (and also because he knows he'll probably have to go through with it if he's elected) -- nm - Roger More Oct 5, 13:44 1
        
        I figured that was a big part of his answer -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:56
        
        exactly -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:43
- DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM -- nm - Beaker Oct 5, 13:24
for those keeping score, Hugh Grant about to have fourth child, with mother of child #2. - Andie Oct 5, 13:20 14
- He needs to make up his mind. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:41
- Crap, I'm up again. -- nm - Mother 1 Oct 5, 13:40 1
  - I was thinking we could add a third to the rotation? -- nm - Hugh Grant Oct 5, 13:47
- no wonder he's working more. -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 13:31
- Is her name Kim Davis? -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:27
- My vote is that it's better than having four different mothers. -- nm - David Oct 5, 13:25
- "maybe we can be together again"..*baby*.."nope" -- nm - budice Oct 5, 13:24
- I seem to recall a relatively pissy press release about one of them acknowledging paternity. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 13:22 5
  - i believe that was #1. and it was basically "yes, we had a completely meaningless fling, and yes, she's pregnant." - Andie Oct 5, 13:23 4
    - When did the car incident factor into the timeline? -- nm - zork Oct 5, 13:41 2
      - years and years before. -- nm - Andie Oct 5, 13:42 1
        
        Yeah, I just realised that because it was back when he was ruining Liz. - zork Oct 5, 13:43
    - In for a penny... -- nm - Hugh Grant si Oct 5, 13:39
