        You don't honestly expect me to believe that Remembrance Day is a real thing, do you? -- nm - David Nov 9, 18:04 3

So strange....On Supergirl right now, the background soundtrack/sound effects are audible, but the dialog track isn't -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 17:06 11
- comcast? twitter says you're not alone. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 9, 17:15 6
  - not comcast. The really weird thing is that if I switch to the Spanish Dolby track, the dialog (in English!) is audible -- nm - prayformojo Nov 9, 17:16 5
    - are you sure this isn't because of the ancient indian burial site your house is built on?....nm - x Nov 9, 17:22 1
      - He only moved the headstones -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 17:29
    - So the ghosts are in the TV now too -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 17:19
    - only some people mentioned comcast - looks like it's the channel in your area, though. sorry! -- nm - b. Nov 9, 17:18 1
      - twitter now says it's back, at least for some. hopefully you! -- nm - b. Nov 9, 17:23

not to alarm anyone, but there's a mass of clouds coming towards my office that looks like it's mordorian. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 16:59 6
- You wouldn't simply walk into Mordor so Mordor is coming to you. -- nm - TWuG Nov 9, 17:24
- This is important: are you happening to wear a simple gold band? -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 17:17 1

- Ooh, which microwave? -- nm - David Nov 9, 16:45 15
  - This one - absolutely no reason except that it's red :) -- (link) - Meg Nov 9, 17:00 14
    - 700 watts going to be enough? -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 17:06 10
      - mine is an oldster built-in - 650. it's usable, but I often wish it was more oomphy. have to adjust most instructions, etc. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 17:10 1
        
        Yep, the instructions. You have to guess how much longer. Smart Ones are geared to an 1100 watt and we had a 1000 watt before now - Bacon Nov 9, 17:13
      - I know things will take longer but I really don't have any counter-space and don't want to spend a lot. -- nm - Meg Nov 9, 17:09 6
        
        75 at walmart (20 less than amazon at the moment) - looks like good reviews. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 9, 17:12 2
        
        I've seen that one. I think it was the dimensions (or maybe the weight) that ruled it out. -- nm - Meg Nov 9, 17:22
        
        ^ actually, nevermind that one - its reviews are mixed, and the color, per reviewers, is more cranberry then true red. -- nm - b. Nov 9, 17:18
        
        We got an 1100 watt at Target for 79 bucks -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 17:09 2
        
        It's 89 now but here it is -- (link) - Bacon Nov 9, 17:11
        
        but it's stainless steel look not red -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 17:10
      - that's really barely minimal -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 9, 17:07
    - We too bought a red microwave! - David Nov 9, 17:02 2
      - The one that died is built in but I'm not ready to re-do my kitchen just yet so have to go counter-top. -- nm - Meg Nov 9, 17:05 1
        
        a. built in should be not that hard to remove and replace, but a lot more expensive...but if the thing is red, how will you know its catching on fire? -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 9, 17:06
Blaine Gabbert to make another start, and Matt Flynn is the new backup in NO. -- nm - ML Nov 9, 16:42 15
- Fuck! -- nm - Pippy Nov 9, 17:17
- Fuck the 49ers ownership! -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 16:44 13
  - Wait, you guys won and you're still bitching? -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:45 12
    - If the Redskins win this week Dan Snyder is now your owner of the year? -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 16:51 6
      - When I bitch about him, it won't be in a post about letting the winning QB have another start. - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:55 5
        
        I blame Kaeps continued fall this year on changing the offense he was used to having. This is a bandaid to take the focus of the fact they - Bacon Nov 9, 16:57 4
        
        seems like the ran off everybody who was competent, IE Gore I've not kept track of other players -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 9, 17:08 1
        
        We had a mass defection. Now was that because of Harbaugh leaving or just bad luck. We won't ever know I guess. -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 17:14
        
        who says replacing him fixed everything? and you don't think any of his playing poorly is on him? -- nm - b. Nov 9, 17:01 1
        
        At the end of last year I wanted to give him this year to improve. Then they fired the coach. But yeah, Kaep is done here. - Bacon Nov 9, 17:03
    - Yep, it's not about winning one game. It's about firing a very good head coach and lying about the reasons why. - Bacon Nov 9, 16:48
    - Niners fans crack me up. -- nm - Spawn Nov 9, 16:48 3
      - don't you include me with him! -- nm - b. Nov 9, 16:56 2
        
        Spawn loves his head coach and wants him to sign and extension. -- nm - Bacon Nov 9, 16:58 1
        
        Look what he can do with the OC he wanted all along. - Spawn Nov 9, 17:08
Speaking of JAWS... -- (link) - Shaun Nov 9, 16:41 3
- good.god. -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 16:54
- Is that a great white, or a whale shark? - Will Hunting Nov 9, 16:46 1
  - I don't think it's a whale shark, I'm pretty sure they have spots -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:47
What I love about today is that Daniel Craig is no longer James Bond. - David Nov 9, 16:41 18
- I like him as Bond! -- nm - JenBro Nov 9, 17:47
- he's got one more on the contract. -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 17:47 4
  - I thought so too, but he doesn't. However, the distribution rights are up for bidding and I expect they'd be worth a lot less without Craig - Roger More Nov 9, 18:07 3
    - huh. -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 18:15
    - i would think they'd be worth more, if a future owner isn't locked into Sony's vision of the franchise -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 18:08 1
      - Sony's immensely profitable vision? (But I know what you mean - people will pay more for something they feel they have control over) -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 18:18
- [deleted] 2
  - I don't care if he's the sexiest man alive. I want my Bond to have at least a *smidgen* of acting ability. -- nm - David Nov 9, 18:03
  - Word. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 9, 17:58
- They'll just find another humorless lump unless the producers take a different tone going forward -- nm - jangles Nov 9, 16:48 2
  - I wonder if Kingsman will have any influence over the tone of the next Bond film -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 16:51 1
    - Brand. Russell Brand. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:59
- Nah, I think he'll be back (spoils) - Roger More Nov 9, 16:47 4
  - He done. -- nm - David Nov 9, 16:51 3
    - Just when he won David's "most improved" award! -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 16:54 2
      - Who said that? - David Nov 9, 17:02 1
        
        I'm being glib -- nm - Roger More Nov 9, 17:38
- That's not true. He could be back as bond at any moment! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 9, 16:47
Rosario Dawnson is hand delivering Call of Duty Black Ops 3 to Amazon Prime customers -- nm - Remlik Nov 9, 16:39
