Volkswagen to offer owners of its smaller diesel cars $500 Visa card, $500 to spend with dealers, says source -- (link) - ML Nov 9, 06:58 6
- Spamlet is the source! He's deepthroat! -- (link) - decline Nov 9, 07:00 [Backboard]
- Good as long as it doesn't come with "don't sue us" - spamlet Nov 9, 06:59 4
  - bwahahahahaha -- nm - ML Nov 9, 07:00 3
    - Sure you don't want Lewis now? - spamlet Nov 9, 07:01 2
      - I couldn't withdraw that trade offer fast enough -- nm - ML Nov 9, 07:03 1
        
        I actually meant to look at it on Saturday. Luckily for you I'm forgetful. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 07:03

JJAbrams: "Yes, there were problems with ST:IntoDark and Super 8 stories. Also Episode VIII script finished." -- (link) - budice Nov 9, 06:52 1

CTTP: From 1/1-10/31 the number of paid TV ads airing for Hillary was 7,539. Guess Jeb's and Trump's number of paid ads aired... -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 06:50 9
- "Donald Trump Advertises Rising Value of Free Political Publicity" -- (link) - MDH Nov 9, 06:52
- 5 -- nm - decline Nov 9, 06:51
- I haven't seen one for Trump that I can recall, but Jeb's are on all the time -- nm - Beaker Nov 9, 06:51 3
  - This is exactly what I was hoping someone would post: Bush 7,465. Trump 0. Not one single ad. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 06:52 2
    - Why would Trump spend a dollar advertising when all he needs to do is open his mouth and the media does it for him? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 06:53 1
      - Yup. That's the point of the article above. In a year of massive election spending, he is spending nothing. -- nm - MDH Nov 9, 06:55
- 40k -- nm - Shaun Nov 9, 06:51 2

It appears the Brewers, White Sox, or Twins most likely won the rights to negotiate with Japanese 1B Byung-Ho Park. Formal announcement today. -- (link*) - ML Nov 9, 06:46 6
- White Sox appear to be out which is good since we already have enough 1B/DH types. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 06:57 5
  - Huh. Apparently, it's us. -- (link) - ML Nov 9, 06:59 4
    - I think it's interesting that the 2 guys who have come over have been won by the Pirates and the Twins - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:06
    - Well, considering he announced the Chicago Blue Sox won in an earlier tweet... -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 07:00 2
      - yeah I saw that but assumed it was humor (these overseas postings stories are just messy--MLB needs to do this better) -- (edited) - ML Nov 9, 07:01 1
        
        They've got Japan settled competently...next will be Korea - Will Hunting Nov 9, 07:07

call me maybe poll: do you have ten digit dialing where you live? we do not. -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 9, 06:44 26
- Nope. No overlay codes here. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 06:58
- Yup, it just started earlier this year. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 06:54
- does 10 digit dialing mean I would have to dial all 10 digits every time I made a call? - Beaker Nov 9, 06:50 1
  - yep, that's it. :) -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:52
- Yeah, for about 20 years or more. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 06:50
- yes -- nm - budice Nov 9, 06:47
- As of this year, yes. I hate it. - Spawn Nov 9, 06:46 6
  - you only use a 1 if it is long distance. -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:56 5
    - That is my point. With a new number, I do not know if it is long distance or not. - Spawn Nov 9, 06:59 4
      - see, even when we had seven digits as a kid, the area code covered a huge area, so someone could be in the same code, but still long distance. -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 07:10 1
        
        Yeah, here as well. Those people would tell you their ten digit number which meant it was long distance. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 07:14
      - Does it matter? No one pays for long distance anymore. -- nm - spamlet Nov 9, 07:08 1
        
        I don't care about that. If it requires a 1 and you do not dial, you get a recording. If it does not and you do, also a recording. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 07:12
- Yes -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 06:45
- huh. I thought everbody had it now -- nm - decline Nov 9, 06:45 2
  - So did I -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 06:49 1
    - right? f*cking centre county, where everything is ass backwards. -- nm - fabulous squad Nov 9, 06:55
- Yup, for many years now. I miss the old seven digit dialing. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 06:45
- yes. -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:45
- I still use my NYC cell number, so yes. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 06:45 5
  - but where you live locally must have it, right? -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:45 4
    - also yes. - znufrii Nov 9, 06:47 3
      - Philly's been 10 digits for probably over 10 years now -- nm - decline Nov 9, 06:49 2
        
        at this point I can't imagine going back to 7 -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 06:58
        
        huh. I just looked - it started back in 1999 -- nm - decline Nov 9, 06:51

Useless Info of the day: In 1947, Ontario had two area codes. Today it has 13 and has of June 2016 it will have 14. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 9, 06:18 16

- where is the new one? -- nm - Andie Nov 9, 06:28 1
  - SW Ontario - There will now be 519, 226 and 548. -- nm - Walt_Disney Nov 9, 07:01

  - 8. That map is wrong. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 06:44 5
    - did they roll out 463 already? -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 06:56 4
      - They announced it in the spring, so pretty sure they have. Also, my business is in the 812/930 area. SKEK -- (edited) - Spawn Nov 9, 07:02 3
        
        463 is listed as going live October 2016, so maybe they've started rolling it out to get people used to the idea before they actually assign any #s -- (link*) - znufrii Nov 9, 07:04 2
        
        Hmm. Does the "482" on there mean that is the next one we will get? - Spawn Nov 9, 07:11 1
        
        no, that's something else, I think -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 07:18
  - 17. That map is wrong. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 06:40 3
    - It's missing the most used and common ones like 212, 718 and 917. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 06:40 2
      - those are on the NYC inset map -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 06:42 1
