      - JD,you have said some crazy-ass stuff in the past but insulting Sci-Fi Dine-In is the bridge too far with me. - David Nov 9, 16:10 13
        
        Ahh...the DVC view will work....but really? You like the food at Sci-Fi? - JD Nov 9, 16:15 12

        nailed it. -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 16:33
        
        at least Spawn, unlike Applebees, has a quirky sort of charm -- nm - crash davis Nov 9, 16:29
        
        I went to one, once. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:24
        
        The yelp reviews are a bit above average. On a good day I could see it being a great experience. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:19 1
        
        It's a great experience on *every* day. - David Nov 9, 16:30

- 42 -- nm - kelly Nov 9, 16:25
- 42 -- nm - Karl_S Nov 9, 16:16

- Computer says .... 42. - Beryllium Nov 9, 15:50
- 42 -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 15:49
- If it's "up to the nearest whole number" then 43...if it's "to the nearest whole number" then 42 -- nm - Flavorize Nov 9, 15:46 1
  - this is actually a good clarification. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:47
- It's .49 to 42. It's .51 to 43 -- nm - CQ Nov 9, 15:46
- Hitchiker's Guide never fails -- nm - budice Nov 9, 15:44
- what else would it be other than 42? - znufrii Nov 9, 15:43 1
  - Exactly -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 15:51
- 42. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:43
- 43. 42.49 = 42.5 = 43 -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 15:43 22
  - that's....not how rounding works. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 15:44 21
    - Your face isn't how rounding works! - Roger More Nov 9, 15:46
    - Although if the teacher *taught* that it was, then I'd certainly give that answer. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:46 4
      - Also right if she wants credit. Unfortunately, the teacher is wrong. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:47
      - and...she'd be wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:46 2
        
        Sure, but that's not the point. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:51
        
        yep. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 15:49
    - (I have the feeling this may be where the disagreement comes from.) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:45 14
      - Right. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:46 13
        
        Yeah. Heather says 43 based on Abby getting a similar problem wrong on a test earlier -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 15:47 12
        
        Was there a bar? - David Nov 9, 15:54 7

        "Fee fi fo fum, what's your answer NOW to that math problem?" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:26
        
        Ooo, you should have scanned it. I'd love to see it. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:49
        
        Post a picture on Facebook (or Reddit) and see if the internets explode. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:49 2

St Louis Rams have signed WR Wes Welker. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 15:17 4
- The NFL shouldn't allow him to play anymore. No one should sign him for his own sake. -- nm - Krusty Nov 9, 15:53
- who got a concussion while signing the contract -- nm - Beaker Nov 9, 15:19 2
  - I won't feel sorry for him. If anyone knows the affects of concussions, it's him. This is a stunningly bad move, IMO, by Welker -- nm - flavorize Nov 9, 15:44

b. & Meg, Project Runway. based on the scenes for the reunion show this week, many of the losers are gonna be loud, crazy, insulting & childish -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 9, 15:08 9
- related, mara, from b2 - thanks for that write-up. I actually read ew's recap and some comments (not fineable - often decent there, in my -- (edited) - b. Nov 9, 15:36 5
  - I think I'm with mara on this. From early on I figured Swapnil for a poser & one-note. When Tim blew up I was "whoa! about time". - Covington Nov 9, 15:50 4
    - your subject line wasn't shown for most of the season (to that ep's point), though, which is my thing. (spoils) - b. Nov 9, 16:01 3
      - Well, we definitely did not see the same things happening. -- nm - Covington Nov 9, 16:11 2
        
        heh, yah; but it's me and a whole bunch of other viewers/commenters. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 16:46 1
        
        huh, this is from an august interview with tim. it explains a lot. - b. Nov 9, 16:54
- Going the way of so many shows. Playing up the drama rather than the ability of the contestants :( -- nm - Meg Nov 9, 15:19 2
  - until the ep. in question, I thought this was actually a remarkably low-drama season. - b. Nov 9, 15:38
  - and the ones with no ability who never should have been cast, are the loudest :( -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 9, 15:25
Well *now* I see it that way -- (link) - Reagen Nov 9, 15:07
Slate: Democrats aren’t nearly as interested in the election as Republicans are. -- (link) - Strongbad Nov 9, 15:06 19
- Wrongbad! -- nm - con_carne Nov 9, 15:19 3
  - Heh. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 15:21 2
    - I kid because I love -- nm - con_carne Nov 9, 15:22 1
      - I like it. It's fun. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 9, 15:26
- Oh no, my last free Slate story of the month! How will I cope with no Slate? -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 15:19 3
  - incognito tabs are your friend. -- nm* - Reagen Nov 9, 15:21 1
    - Sadly, not available on Chrome at my work or on Safari. Not that I mind missing Slate but I do like to keep up on what's being talked about -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 16:09
  - Get your glibness from... nah, there's no source of glib on ST -- nm - con_carne Nov 9, 15:20
- and probably won't be for at least another 5 months. -- nm - mafic Nov 9, 15:11
- Because I'd like to take my summer vacation before giving a damn about a fall election. -- nm - Max Nov 9, 15:11
- While on some level this is not new news. I think that's the main reason that Republicans are winning as much as they do, I also take it with a grain - pmb Nov 9, 15:10
- 364 days before the general election, the Dems know pretty much for certain who their candidate will be. - ty97 Nov 9, 15:10 3
  - This. Plus, to be fair, the Democratic vehicle is the same, just way fewer clowns get out when the door opens. - JaxSean Nov 9, 15:13
  - Yeah, there's not much call for Dems to be invested in the theater right now. Definitely, there will - TWuG Nov 9, 15:12 1
    - To some degree you wonder whether the republican side will be less excited for the general. They may be burnt out on the process by then and a - pmb Nov 9, 15:14
- less entertainment value than the political clown car that is the GOP primary, I guess. -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 15:09 3
  - More charitably, the Republicans are having an internal battle over which wing of the party is in control. The Dems don't have that issue. -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 15:13 2
    - more charitable, perhaps, but far less fun of an image. :) -- nm - znufrii Nov 9, 15:33 1
      - Yeah, I missed the suggestion that it was down to the scintillating level of debate by the GOP and the lack of it by the Dems -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 15:42
Oh man, Wes Welker is coming back? - ML Nov 9, 15:04
This is the first time I have ever watched history repeat itself to this degree. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:03 9
- Yeah, I mean, people weren't really hyped about The Phantom Menace. -- nm - Reagen Nov 9, 15:08 2
  - Generally, to see history rewritten this nonsensically, you have to live in a red state. -- nm - David Nov 9, 15:21 1
    - No, I'm serious. The Matrix really did change film forever. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 15:22
- Are you talking about the ben carson stuff? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 15:04 5
  - the Pyramids were built by time travellors! -- nm - Beaker Nov 9, 15:13 4
    - You have to ask yourself, "Is it possible?" Then yes, yes ancient aliens did it. -- nm - CQ Nov 9, 15:20
    - To store corn. -- nm - Meg Nov 9, 15:18 2
      - To sell to the aliens. -- nm - mara Nov 9, 15:20 1

    - 3rd date. -- nm - decline Nov 9, 15:55 1
