Spawn, can you either accept or turn down that BF trade offer? -- nm - ML Oct 20, 08:40 2
- Weird, I did not got an email. Will take a look. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 08:50 1

Survivor ST update -- (edited) - Beaker Oct 20, 08:38 1
- effin' Survivor! -- nm - decline Oct 20, 08:39
did we discuss? JK Rowling has a new book "Career of Evil" -- (link) - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 08:35 3
- I tried with The Cuckoo's Calling, I really did. - ML Oct 20, 08:38 2
  - FWIW, the Chicago Tribune today said this one is much better. -- nm - pmb Oct 20, 08:44
  - i never finished A Casual Vacancy, but i never tried the Galbraith ones. I should try. -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 08:39
christ...Giantess, who is on state insurance through her job, just had a medication price raised AFTER insurance from $17 to $550. -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:29 12
- that is such bullshit that companies are able to do this. - groiny Oct 20, 08:33 10
  - it's med for her immune system -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:34 9
    - right, but there has to be another option by another maker? - groiny Oct 20, 08:35 8
      - Fun fact: It is perfectly legal in the US for drug manufacturers to pay generics majers NOT to make a generic version of a drug. - TWuG Oct 20, 08:43
      - she's waiting on the docs right now... -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:38 1
        
        I hope they have another option. - groiny Oct 20, 08:39
      - your im is most likely correct -- nm - decline Oct 20, 08:37 2
        
        that is downright criminal. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 08:38 1
        
        also correct :( -- nm - decline Oct 20, 08:38
      - patents on drugs = 17 year exclusive window. - jangles Oct 20, 08:37 1
        
        and even if there's no patent, it might be a small enough market that it's not worth another manufacturer entering it. - Roger More Oct 20, 08:43
- OFFS (and you mean her other job, right?) -- nm* - Spawn Oct 20, 08:30
Maybe one of the Psion Flayers will drop a cloak for me after the NF this week. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:24 15
- I got the void cloak for my hunter. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 08:26 14
  - Cool. Also fwiw, the flayers are not ultras, so don't waste 3oC on them. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:30 13
    - yeah, I hate doing that strike for that very reason. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 08:32 3
      - See what you Xbox people were missing out on Y1!!? -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:33 2
        
        it is a fine mission, and a challenging one, but missing the change at an exotic drop in the end sucks. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 08:34 1
        
        True. It's like the complete opposite of the shield brothers strike. Also, the Ultra Knight is a super easy way to get in a 3oC kill. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:36
    - You don't really waste them, though. They stick around until you hit one. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 08:31 8
      - But since they flayers don't count, you'd be wasting them as stacking the 3oC without killing ultras is a waste. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:32 7
        
        But it isn't a waste as it will still be there until you kill an ultra. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 08:39 6
        
        I just meant using 3 of them in case you didn't know they weren't ultras. Pop 1, kill flayer, pop another, kill flayer, pop a 3rd, kill flayer. - Shaun Oct 20, 08:40
        
        people still run Prison of Elders??? -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 08:40 4
        
        Yeah really. Borrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrring. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:40 3
        
        no, I mean, I like running them well enough, but the rewards suck now. - groiny Oct 20, 08:41 2
        
        Running CoO is the way to go, if you are looking for instance pve events. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 08:42 1
        
        oh, I totally agree, I am pretty close to going up a level for House of Wolves rank - groiny Oct 20, 08:44
It's weird to mix kafabe with shooting having Brock Lesnar on Stone Cold's podcast. -- nm - Qale Oct 20, 08:16 3
- What in the world is kafabe? -- nm - IrishStephen Oct 20, 08:29 2
  - Basically it's mixing the fake world they've created with reality. Brock is giggling like a school girl at times in his interview. Then... - Qale Oct 20, 08:35
  - description.... - Remlik Oct 20, 08:30
Star Wars: Daisy Ridley and John Boyega reaction videos to them seeing the trailer for the 1st time -- (link) - Remlik Oct 20, 08:15 7
- Interesting note on Ridley, she went from a noname talent agency to CAA in a matter of months upon landing the Star Wars role. -- nm - budice Oct 20, 08:25
- Boyega...LOL -- nm - ML Oct 20, 08:20
- WHAT!?! WHAT!?! WHAT!?! WHAT!?! - Spawn Oct 20, 08:18 3

- As my college dorm mascot was Otters, I heartily approve. - Baron Bostwick as Brad Majors Oct 20, 08:26
- Elsie Otter's Jug Band Christmas -- (link*) - budice Oct 20, 08:17 [youtube] 1
  - Get out of my head! -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 08:29
- It's time for a jugband Christmas. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 20, 08:17
- How precious. Doesn't it instantly bring vintage British children's literature to mind? "One brightly, sprightly, springly day, Elsie Otter and Reggie - mara Oct 20, 08:10 3
  - Ha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 20, 08:24
  - No, I wondered if Zooey has a jug for her to make Christmas music on. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 08:16
  - heh -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 08:14
- Of course she did. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 08:09
- Otterly ridiculous. -- nm - budice Oct 20, 08:08
- Better than Elsie Ifthen. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 08:07 3
  - I wonder if you'd screw up data systems by giving your kid a middle name of Null -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 08:17 2
    - maybe -- (link) - Reagen Oct 20, 08:19 1
      - excellent -- nm - prayformojo Oct 20, 08:27
- There needs to be a naming allowance board to veto garbage like this. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 08:06
Re: the question about Harper staying on as MP - you know who's still in Parliament? Stephane Dion. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 08:01
Shot-by-shot breakdown of the new Force Awakens trailer -- (link) - Beaker Oct 20, 08:00 2
- there's stuff in this analysis I didn't pick up. Thanks. -- nm - Mel Profit Oct 20, 08:47
- As was noted, the stuff JJ gets to do with the Falcon must make GLUCA cry. - Spawn Oct 20, 08:09
Raina Telgemeier has achieved Neil Gaiman status as a YA author in terms of sales... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 20, 07:59 3
- I'm going to put here that I am enjoying Wool so much. - Pippy Oct 20, 08:07 2
  - nice -- nm - ML Oct 20, 08:08
  - Hang on there is a new series that I'm waiting for it to finish and I'm gonna send you that as well -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 08:08
Jim Webb to withdraw from Democratic presidential race -- (link) - ML Oct 20, 07:47 8
- if only he'd been given more time!! -- nm - decline Oct 20, 08:28
- This fundamentally changes the nature of the election. -- nm - David Oct 20, 07:56 2
  - "Where will his support go?" "I dunno, someone ask his wife." -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 20, 08:05 1
    - ha! Though I think we're being presumptuous to even think she was going to vote for him. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 08:14
- In other news, Lindsey Graham finally pulled 1% in the latest CNN Poll, qualifying him for the CNBC debate next Wednesday. - Strongbad Oct 20, 07:55 3
  - So he is in the junior debate? (how are there still 15 candidates!) -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 08:15 1
    - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 20, 08:20
  - (Everybody below Cruz on this list needs to drop out. Soon.) -- nm - Strongbad Oct 20, 08:06
Laurier Uni threat was a moron 4channer -- (link) - Reagen Oct 20, 07:44 1
- that guy is a posterboy for them -- nm - Remlik Oct 20, 07:53
Andie, I'd argue it is forced because the choice is "donate blood or go to jail". - spamlet Oct 20, 07:36 4
- if you read the whole article though, that seems not quite for sure.... -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:36 3
  - I think you can't quite separate it from how the criminal justice system works in places like Alabama. -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 07:44 1
    - good point. -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:44
  - (more) - like, they were there for debts, so, if the actual logic is 'choose to donate and get a $100 credit', then, okay. -- (edited) - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:37
And in the end, the polls were basically bang on -- (link) - Reagen Oct 20, 07:32 16
- Trump wins? -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 07:48
- and the first big test: an end to FPTP by next election -- (link) - Reagen Oct 20, 07:36 14
  - "And, if the Liberal leader becomes prime minister, it may also be the last election in which Canadians can choose not to vote, - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:43 13
    - Well, instead of marking X, they'll mark 1-2-3 etc in each of the boxes. (Or deliberately spoil their ballot) -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 07:46 5
      - i thought they'd mentioned the possibilty of online voting? (although I don't see that happening in 4 years.) -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:49 4
        
        Just that it would be examined as an option. -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 07:54 1
        
        right -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:57
        
        I personally like the paper ballot, plus there's a bit of a sense of community to the process. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 07:51 1
        
        i enjoy it too, but I know there are people who could benefit from online access. -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:53
    - A more careful read is that there's no new info in this - he hasn't promised anything post-election yet. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 07:44 6
      - I think it's the right process to go through an all-party committee (or some other body that will make recommendations) - Roger More Oct 20, 07:51 4
        
        (also, I don't think you can do this meaningfully without Senate reform) -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 07:52 2
        
        It's a first step and the art of the possible. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 08:02 1
        
        Yep, just saying what the next step should be. -- nm - Roger More Oct 20, 08:06
        
        in the UK it was basically deliberately sabotaged - Reagen Oct 20, 07:52
      - i know compulsary voting will create a maelstrom of "AHHHHHH!", but Australia manages. -- nm - Andie - Go Jays! Oct 20, 07:45
So ... the dollar and the TSX are both up a tiny bit, right? -- nm - Bury'm Oct 20, 07:25 1
- Yes, but that's more likely due to a bump in oil prices. -- nm - Reagen Oct 20, 07:29

I got a nice 296 ghost shell in Court of Oryx last night. nm -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:20 24
- Which jumping puzzle did you have a problem with? - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 07:35 21
  - for whatever reason, I have major issues with jumping and gliding. - groiny Oct 20, 07:42 15
    - I'm not sure if you would have fared better or worse with the people I raid with. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 07:52 2
      - Bungie are just assholes for building in so much of that shit into this raid. - groiny Oct 20, 07:53 1
        
        I understand the one with the exotic chest. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 07:57
    - (But it is fun to watch you and Spawn jump to your deaths.) -- nm - JaxSean Oct 20, 07:42 11
      - Hey, I got over pretty quick! I was the one that stood on a plate so the first group could move forward. - Spawn Oct 20, 07:59
      - Only the first 75 times. -- nm - David Oct 20, 07:50
      - not....helping...... -- nm - groiny Oct 20, 07:43 8
        
        twas my fault, I should have gone back sooner and helped lead the way. -- nm - Truman Oct 20, 07:45 7
        
        it is not a big deal, I did not want to hold everyone up waiting for me. - groiny Oct 20, 07:47 6
        
        Yes, it seems like a pointless raid until after the first boss. - David Oct 20, 07:52 2
        
        Every raid has had a maze section. Crota replaced a jumping puzzle with the thrallway. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 08:06 1
        
        Your last line, indeed. It is VoG, but this time a moving puzzle. -- nm - Spawn Oct 20, 08:10
        
        Shards can be useful, as once you have 20 you get a bonus roll after beating Oryx. - Shaun Oct 20, 07:50 2
        
        I think you always get something. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 07:53 1
        
        Fair enough. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 07:54
  - the ships. -- nm - Truman Oct 20, 07:39 3
    - My main issue there is that I usually forget where the next ship is going to be. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 07:46 2
      - we did that one time, cause you know, why not. - Truman Oct 20, 08:12 1
        
        If you care about such things it can also drop antiquated runes. - the wrong element, bad guy Oct 20, 08:18
  - For the piston puzzle, I equip my sword because platforming is a lot easier in 3rd person. -- nm - Shaun Oct 20, 07:38
- I was hoping to get the raid Ghost last night but nope. I got the boots though at the worst possible roll of 300 LL. - Shaun Oct 20, 07:22 1
  - yeah, i wish i had gotten that shell too. -- nm - Truman Oct 20, 07:24
sheep go to heaven. -- nm - Truman Oct 20, 07:19 2
- ~and a looooooooooooooooong jacket~ -- nm - Strongbad Oct 20, 07:30
