Dear Prudence... - budice Feb 23, 07:44 12

  - You are dumb. She should f- the son. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 07:49 3
    - he's like 10, Spawn -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 07:50 2

    - I like this response - the single mom mistress will be just fine. She found your husband, she can find another - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:49 2

The Justice Department already have 12 other IPhones they want Apple to break for them (not related to terrorism) -- (link) - Beaker Feb 23, 07:42 5
- Okay, help me out here. What is different about a phone and any other product with security in terms of access following proper legal protocol? - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:03 2
  - I am paraphrasing what I have seen here - the difference is - the cops in the other situations have the means to gain access - Epiphany Feb 23, 08:17
  - but can the government force the safe manufacturer to create a tool that will make the safe useless and unsecure for everyone else who owns the safe? -- nm - decline Feb 23, 08:17

Reminder - its Starbond adjust day. -- nm - LMS Feb 23, 07:14
The Big Short is also available on Vudu today. - David Feb 23, 07:04 5

- OK, so after I watch Mad Max I watch this? -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:25 3
  - Yeah, leave the better film for last. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 07:30
  - Heh, that was the order for the Best Picture showcase. - spamlet Feb 23, 07:26 1
    - They're basically the same movie. -- nm - David Feb 23, 07:30
UFC 196 - Dos Anjos out with broken foot, they're trying to find someone on short notice for Connor to knock out -- nm - J Feb 23, 07:01
Dr. Luke is apparently on a quest to end his career. Common sense is not to tweet... -- (link) - MDH Feb 23, 06:41 25
- I understand he may he innocent of the allegations, and he's losing a PR battle right now, but Twitter isn't the place to make your case. - Mop Feb 23, 07:47
- " Taylor Swift recently donated $250,000 as a “show of support” for the pop star" - Spawn Feb 23, 07:03 11
  - I've always liked her -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 07:15
  - people who hate on her are not really paying attention. -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 07:10 9
    - You are saying she is not the type to call her GF during Trials of Osiris and then even forget to mute her microphone? -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 07:15 8
      - fuck dude, that went on for 15 minutes after you left too. -- nm - groiny Feb 23, 07:18 7
        
        lol. Did the squeaker join you? - Spawn Feb 23, 07:20 6
        
        I should have followed suit. Yeah, I was ready to play with the squeaker, but we never got there. - groiny Feb 23, 07:21 5
        
        I laughed thinking back on his line, "Those guys even play on Saturday night while I am with my GF." - Spawn Feb 23, 07:28 4
        
        it was painful to listen to. She obviously has some issues, and he is too whipped to send her packing. - groiny Feb 23, 07:30 3
        
        Still not sure why the guy did not mute his mic at the very beginning. - Spawn Feb 23, 07:33 2
        
        if the dude ever came back, he probably would have left when I told him - groiny Feb 23, 07:36 1
        
        "You can't eat out the rest of your life." - Spawn Feb 23, 07:38
- I have a theory that Swift may feel its legit or feels women in the industry get treated poorly so she donated the money - Epiphany Feb 23, 07:03 9
  - Taylor Swift has more power in the industry than many realize. Her support could shake things up. -- nm - MDH Feb 23, 07:20 7
    - Beyond what? Sony curbing him? They've offered to let her work with other producers - Will Hunting Feb 23, 07:38 6
      - Apparently her lawyers saw through that, since Luke has sole rights to her promotion. basically she could make music, and it never be released/promote -- nm - MDH Feb 23, 08:01 1
        
        Yeah, though the court could require commensurate promotion with previous releases as part of the settlement. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 08:05
      - well, if it is true, they should fire his ass. - groiny Feb 23, 07:44 1
        
        I don't disagree there, but given the lack of evidence to the effect, firing him opens it's own can of worms. - Will Hunting Feb 23, 08:05
      - Clearly she knows it will be Dr. Luke in disguise. -- nm - Spawn Feb 23, 07:40 1
        
        Bobby Valentine-style mustache and glasses. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 08:04

- Thanks! Pre-ordered -- nm - J Feb 23, 06:10 1
  - Happy Birthday! -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 06:49
- $ 22.99 in the US -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 06:01 7
  - It's quite likely a price error. I'm still not buying it though. -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 06:02 6
    - I would in a second. Loved the film, I've seen it twice so far and can watch it again right now. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 06:08
    - yeah, I'd say definitely a pricing error -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 06:08
    - will they eventually figure it out and not sell it to you for the price? you could buy it, watch it and resell it - Epiphany Feb 23, 06:06 2
      - It's on Netflix the same day as the disc release, so I'll watch it there :) -- nm - Shaun Feb 23, 06:41 1
        
        that does make more sense -- nm - Epiphany Feb 23, 06:51
    - it's a great movie. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Feb 23, 06:04
Airbus seeks patent for 'airplane benches' that adjust for passenger size -- (link) - Beaker Feb 23, 05:35
A two pack of pop tarts at the creamery is just 75 cents. Seems inexpensive for snack retail, right? -- nm - Amanda Feb 23, 05:25 7
- Very cheap. Are they expired boxed that they're passing off as new? ;-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 05:57 4
  - the creamery just reopened. all new stock. (they have blueberry now, yo!) (I got strawberry, obvs.) -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Feb 23, 05:59 1
    - I would have bought both and had one each today and tomorrow. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 06:25
  - They expire? -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 05:58 1
    - I've heard rumors of it happening but no actual proof since most won't make it that long. -- nm - Krusty Feb 23, 06:00
- very; but if they get a big turnover they make it up in volume I would think -- nm* - Beaker Feb 23, 05:47 1
  - I would imagine strawberry has a big turnover. but cherry? blueberry? smores? frosted BSC*? -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Feb 23, 05:51

Ha! Joe Biden statement from 1992. - Strongbad Feb 23, 03:58 12
- Saw that on facebook and then also immediately saw articles refuting it. Not sure it's 100% legit. -- nm - volnelk Feb 23, 04:21 11
  - Here. -- (link) - Spawn Feb 23, 07:06 [youtube]
  - Here is two+ minutes of video of it. - ML Feb 23, 06:36 5
    - To a degree yes, but this is really a sort of fluid question. What truly constitutes an election year? Right now the election cycle begins about 2 - pmb Feb 23, 07:56 1
      - There may have been campaigning last year, but by and large, it is safe to suggest that it enters another phase one the primaries begin. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 23, 08:10
    - Indeed. But after reading your IM, there is still a bit of a difference between this and "absolutely will not no matter what". -- nm* - Spawn Feb 23, 07:06
    - He's ultimately saying he'd support a nominee, so it's not even the same degree. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:01
    - Agree to your IM. Politics is a tricky business. You're forced to mold your opinions and make concessions at any given time to support your bigger idea. -- (edited) - volnelk Feb 23, 06:46
  - FWIW NYT has the story. The context was that the Justice Committee was looking at changing the nomination procedures, after what happened in the Bork - Roger More Feb 23, 04:25 2
    - Also worth noting that he was looking prospectively from when he gave the speech in June of the election year. Not February. -- nm - pmb Feb 23, 08:03
    - Context? Who needs that? -- nm - znufrii Feb 23, 05:09 1
  - well you know what Abraham Lincoln says... -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 04:24

TV PSA: Fresh off the Boat, HW Game Night, New Girl, NCIS, Pretty Little Liars, Flash, Grandfathered, Muppets, Brooklyn 99, Chicago Med, Agent Carter, -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 03:15 2
- NCIS NO, Rizzoli and Isles, Shadowhunters, iZombie, Grinder, The Shannara Chronicles, Chicago Fire, Limitless, People vs OJ, other stuff -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 03:17 1
  - Limitless, Flash and Carter for me; the Chicago's for the Missus -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 05:02
Forget Apple, just hire their engineers to unlock the phone - so says my (weird & wacky) rep -- (link) - Covington Feb 23, 02:09
Forget Mexico, wall off Canada - candidates for Boehner's seat (remember him?) sound off at forum -- (link) - Covington Feb 23, 02:06 2
- That page needs more ads and pop ups. -- nm - Reagen Feb 23, 07:35
- Ah, but they're forgetting one thing: Canada has planes, unlike Mexico. --nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 07:32
Apparently John tesh has a tv show. And it looks awful (for a tv show), but if it were on YouTube it wouldn't be too bad -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 00:43 5
- The advertisements are for ..... Catheters. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 23, 00:47 4
  - I just love that he gave up his Entertainment Tonight anchor seat (which probably has as much prestige as a network news seat) - zeitgeist Feb 23, 01:03 3
    - I think he got out at the right time. I used to watch ET but wouldn't know when it was on now. The internet provides better entertainment news -- nm - Beaker Feb 23, 04:38 1
      - It's been on at 7:30 every night since approximately the beginning of time -- nm - con_carne Feb 23, 07:05
    - well maybe not prestige...but certainly had some weight in the hollyworld -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 23, 01:04
Better Call Saul got even better. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 22, 23:43 7
