Trumbo and Steve Jobs are also now available on Digital HD. -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:18 6
- I didn't think Steve Jobs was very good. It was similar to Social Network without the better acting, directing, and music. -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 07:32 2
  - It'll make my top five for the year. -- nm - David's Pad Feb 2, 07:34 1

    - I've never heard of MGo. I'll check it out. - kelly Feb 2, 07:30

- It's a half hour from here. - David Feb 2, 07:22 5
  - That IM is exactly what is being looked at. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 07:23 4
    - Oh, so it is Oak Ridge? Hmm. - kelly Feb 2, 07:26 3
      - If this became a legit possibility, we have more familiarity with the local housing market than some real estate agents. -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:28 2
        
        It's something that is on the table -- I'm not really sure I want the opportunity though. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 07:29 1
        
        That's Kim's area of expertise. She handles digital employment for most of the area. When she sees this, she'll reply, I'm sure. -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:31

Tax Stuff: Previously my royalties for novels was being posted under Rental, royalty, partnership, S corp, trust. This year, TaxAct wants to call it.. - Qale Feb 2, 07:02 2
- Were you paying self-employment tax on it before? Putting it on the Schedule C will have SE tax calculated. - spamlet Feb 2, 07:16 1
  - Schedule E previously, moved to C-EZ this year. The amount is so little it's likely unimportant. - Qale Feb 2, 07:30
six people. how many pizzas? eight slices per. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 2, 06:58 55
- my office never orders enough, plus they like to order all these goofy combinations of ingredients. - groiny Feb 2, 07:16 13
  - "A lovely cheese pizza, just for me." -- nm - Qale Feb 2, 07:34
  - When you order for a group, you go pretty basic. Several cheese. Several pepperoni. Maybe a veggie. - ty97 Feb 2, 07:18 11
    - this is the way it should be, our office accountant who orders the food is not normal. - groiny Feb 2, 07:20 9
      - haha, when i order office pizza I get one veggie, one Mediterranean, and one spinach and feta. -- (edited) - Andie Feb 2, 07:26 4

        I wish we could. - groiny Feb 2, 07:23
      - Next time I am ordering Sushi Pizza -- nm - Office Accountant Feb 2, 07:21 1

- [deleted]
- This sounds like Abby's math problem from last night! -- nm - prayformojo Feb 2, 07:06
- My initial gut was two. 2.67 slices per person seems fine (few people will have three slices, right?) -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 07:04 1
  - lol -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 07:14
- I would say half a pie per person + 1 just to be sure. So 4. -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 07:04 1
  - I can support this. -- nm - Spawn Feb 2, 07:24
- Two or three if they're big eaters. Two should be enough. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 07:02
- 2 if it's normal crust, 3 if it's thin-crust. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 07:01 2
  - 100 if Will is one of the people attending -- nm - Bacon Feb 2, 07:03 1
    - I've actually cut down to 4 slices on average. - Will Hunting Feb 2, 07:03
- Three, four if you want to be safe. -- nm - David Feb 2, 06:59 28
  - 4-5 slices per person? it's not a football team -- nm - decline Feb 2, 07:01 27
    - three chicks and three dudes, if that matters. (is the correct answer to get three medium instead of two large?) -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 2, 07:02 4
      - yes, get three medium and diversify :) -- nm - decline Feb 2, 07:13 3
        
        is this the correct answer? -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 2, 07:16 2
        
        it would be for my office, but apparently the rest don't think so - decline Feb 2, 07:19
        
        nope -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 07:17
    - How many slices of pizza do you eat for a meal? 4 is basically my minimum. -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:02 21

      - [deleted]
      - I used to eat 4-5 but weight watchers has shrunk my stomach so 2 is about it for me now - Bacon Feb 2, 07:04
      - 2 -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 07:03 6
        
        if you had better pizza, you would eat more. -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 07:04 5
        
        The pizza is awesome and so is not having a fat belly. :-) -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 2, 07:07 4
        
        Can't we go one day without you calling me fat??? -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:10 1
        
        Haha! :-) - Krusty Feb 2, 07:13

        who do I really have left to impress? - groiny Feb 2, 07:10
      - 1-2 -- nm - decline Feb 2, 07:03 10
        
        I have that much pizza as a snack. -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:04
        
        one? are you eating giant slices? -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 07:04 8
        
        No thin-shaming Andie. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 2, 07:05 7
        
        I'm starting to suspect the difference is in the type of pizza each of us ordinarily orders. - David Feb 2, 07:09 6
        
        you should try real pizza sometime -- nm - decline Feb 2, 07:15 2
        
        You take the pizza. I'll take the weather. -- nm - David Feb 2, 07:29
        
        he is geographically challenged. -- nm - groiny Feb 2, 07:17
        
        also, if people are thinking of 'going and buying a slice' sizes, then, yes, one is fine. -- nm - Andie Feb 2, 07:10 2
        
        Hmm, these are good points. Chain pizza is much smaller so four isn't much. A NY pizza is much larger so two each is filling. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 2, 07:19 1
        
        yeah, I think I am ordering from my beloved monte carlo. -- nm - amanda jonas Feb 2, 07:24

- Seems Sanders would be the better choice here b/c electing another lib is easier in VT than MA, right? -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 06:58 1
  - (I mean better from a political calculus standpoint only. Warren would kick ass at the job) -- nm - ty97 Feb 2, 06:58
- Oh boy would that be awesome. -- nm - Krusty Feb 2, 06:57 7

  - That's fine if he does, but the question is: how long is he relevant. -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 2, 06:47 1
    - He's relevant through November. - TWuG Feb 2, 06:49

  - Agreed. And I'd love to see more younger people doing so. - ty97 Feb 2, 06:49
  - In the meantime the democrats need to change their game plan when it comes to state elections, asap. - Krusty Feb 2, 06:49 1
    - That's an issue of how districts have been drawn. Hard to win seats with a Dem message in districts - TWuG Feb 2, 06:52
- agreed. the more serious he's taken, without actually being president, the better. - Mel Profit Feb 2, 06:46
