- G4 still allows battery swap and sdcard, Samsung the nicer looking screen. You are lucky, I just got a Samsung Galaxy Grand today because we don't - Bacon the Hutt Dec 15, 14:52 2
  - Yeah, I like the sd card and battery swap options, but I preferred being in the samsung universe because it's more prevalent. Like at Lollapalooza - pmb Dec 15, 15:03 1
    - I like Samsung as well. The screens are just beautiful. I went with Note 4 over Note 5 because of the battery and sdcard. I carry too much music - Bacon Dec 15, 15:05
- Wow, nice dilemma! I'm seeing only good things about both. -- nm - mara Dec 15, 14:50

Charlotte Gainsborough has a TAG of 29 cents. Her next movie is ID4.2.... - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:27 2
- Looks like she's got a couple of penny limiteds that will delist between now and then, but yeah, that's a great catch. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 15, 14:29
- Yeah, even with the long wait time, that one's worth it. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 14:28
STAR7 up 2.2% today to $521.53 -- nm - Max Bebo Dec 15, 14:26
because i am lazy about bonds, remind me what happens when two films delist the same day? - Landie Calrissian Dec 15, 14:25 7
- The two oldest movies drop and the two newest are added. It's all done in a single adjust. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 14:29 5
  - that's all it is right? nothing tricky? Thanks to you both. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 15, 14:30 4
    - Nope. The only (slightly related but not really) trick/pitfall is to remember that movies drop out based on opening date only. - ty97 Dec 15, 14:36 1
      - okay, thanks. -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 15, 14:37
    - Nope, nothing tricky. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:31 1

Also appropos of nothing, but what are your favorite "Christmas ham" recipes? For the actual dinner or for using leftovers? - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:24 10
- this all sounds pedestrian, but some of my favorite ham things are split pea soup, Denve omelettes, and sammies with a good mustard -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:32 2
  - I'm already thinking about split pea soup and maybe a bean soup of some type. - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:45 1
    - I had a ham salad last year that I liked a lot. I just keep forgetting to try it at home -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:49
- i don't really like ham for christmas - jar jar trump Dec 15, 14:27
- who are you friends with the Butcher of Oregon? - - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:26 5
  - Well, he is *a* Butcher of Oregon. And he's a noted barbeque pit master as well. - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:43 1
    - woot! -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:53

  - still smarting over that first HSX weekend? - jar jar trump Dec 15, 14:14 1
    - I had no idea why buying that stock was a bad idea. Fortunately, I couldn't afford too many shares -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:16
Help me decide: Point Break or The Big Short? I have advanced tickets for both tomorrow at the same time -- nm - Guigue Dec 15, 14:04 16
- One is probably a big short, the other is named The Big Short. -- nm - lii3ou2lu8 Dec 15, 14:45
- The Big Short will likely get a Best Picture nomination. Point Break will not. -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 14:10
- Thanks, that's what I figured. I guess I wanted to see if anyone would go the other way - Guigue Dec 15, 14:10 2
  - given their relative subject matter, I should be into Point Break but the trailers give me the skeevies -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:11 1
    - I like the original. This one should have been good. But that trailer makes it look like garbage. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:23
- Short, I've seen the Break -- nm - Kylo Bud Dec 15, 14:08
- the Big Short...and if you can watch Too Big To Fail tonight, you will see a different angle of the story -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 14:07 1
  - the angle where it was really a good thing? -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 15, 14:08
- Short. Point Break looks aweful. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:05 2
  - I shorted the shit out of it today -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:10
  - good Lord this. -- nm - Emperor Beak Dec 15, 14:08

- Big Short in every way. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:05
- shoot the hostage, otherwise Big Short -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 15, 14:05

Apropos of nothing in particular other than travel idea. I considered going to the concert in Vegas. But then realized it was going to be in June. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 13:58 28
- you are presuming the weather..the local high this week is 55'ish -- nm* - Peglegpete Dec 15, 14:08 2
  - It's also not June. - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:09 1
    - yup -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 15, 14:10
- Vegas isn't the desert. It's an Air Coditioned city in the middle of nowhere desert. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 15, 14:01 5
  - True. But to walk around and see the city, which I would want to do, you do have to go outside a lot. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:03 4
    - The walkable portions of the strip and downtown are still great during the day. - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:17
    - you'd be better off walking in LA than in Las Vegas, you don't realize how huge the casinos are until you try to walk from one to another -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:04 1
      - Very true. I went a couple years ago and it was fun. But it was January so not smothering hot. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:05
    - eh not that much. monorail -- nm - jar jar trump Dec 15, 14:03
- inside concert? would be okay. Who is this mytical band you are following? - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:00 18
  - Blue October. They've been around a long time, but most people have never heard of them. They are local to Texas. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:02 17
    - Bleed Out is still in rotation. I am a fan. - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:20 4
      - They don't get much air play around here unfortunately. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:25 3
        
        I wouldn't likely know them except Roo was a huge fan and made me listen. I like their style - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:28 2
        
        a lot of their stuff is very emotional. The lead singer is very bipolar and has a long hx of drug problems and comes through a lot in his lyrics. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:37 1
        
        its poetic and heart felt - I like them a lot -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:45
    - I know Blue October, and I know Vegas in June. You should go. - RC-3PO Dec 15, 14:16 4
      - They are playing Brooklyn Bowl? Near the Flamingo. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:26
      - I went to an outdoor concert in Late May in Vegas. It was at the pool/beach at Mandalay Bay. The band was on a stage in the middle of the pool. - pmb Dec 15, 14:19 2
        
        Sounds awesome -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:25
        
        pretty cool -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:21
    - They're still going huh? (Actually I think I knew that because they played San Marcos, where they went to college, recently) -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 14:12
    - you are in texas....but are worried about the heat? -- nm - General Zeit Dec 15, 14:03 1
      - I'm in NC. They are local to TX. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:04
    - what was the name of their hit? -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:03 3
      - Hate Me -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:05 2
        
        thanks, I'm going to check it out -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 14:06 1
        
        I would say their newest album Sway is their best. But Foiled is a solid album. -- nm - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:09
and I'm not saying Princess Leia was into me but she totally was into me. -- nm - Mel Profitine Dec 15, 13:57 4
- "Aren't you a little short for a storm trooper, hell even Yoda" - Princess Leia Dec 15, 15:03
- Her boobs certainly were - Count Zorku Dec 15, 14:59
- She looks like she thought you had access to pills. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 15, 14:04 1
  - admittedly I shouldn't have been as drunk around her after the first half of her show was about how addiction and mental illness destroyed half -- (edited) - Mel Profitine Dec 15, 14:26
Christmas wrapping poll: how much of your shopping have/will you do in brick & mortar? (Me: next to zero) - jar jar trump Dec 15, 13:57 9
- 100% -- nm - Jovian Dec 15, 15:02
- It wound up being about 30%, which is more than usual. Kim wanted to shop with local retailers when possible. - David Dec 15, 14:03
- most all....how else do you support your local merchants and their employees (but I don't go out of hte way, make special trips) -- nm - General Zeit Dec 15, 14:03 1
  - Very few "local" merchants around here except for boutique shops downtown. Which I wouldn't shop at anyway. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:04
- 90% by dollar value, maybe half and half by item volume. -- nm - ewokicripple Dec 15, 14:01
- Very little. I picked up a giftcard for my cousin and some picture frames for another cousin. - Darth Sycor Dec 15, 14:01
- 50% -- nm - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 14:01
- 10%? -- nm - Landie Calrissian Dec 15, 14:00
