The thing I like about VR is how unobtrusive it is -- (link*) - ML Mar 1, 11:53
ST Roll Poll: Tone of this article (not just the headline): Overdramatic or on point? -- (link) - ty97 Mar 1, 11:52 4
- a little bit over dramatic, i think. i'd say this would have been true when Trump first started, but the establishment has gone along with it this - colin Mar 1, 12:00
- Starts out that way, but after reading the whole thing I'm not so sure. -- nm - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 1, 11:58
- the moment Trump secures enough delegates for the nomination, all bets are off as to what positions he'll actually take before the election - sweet baboo Mar 1, 11:57
- doesn't seem overdone to me. -- nm - Andie Mar 1, 11:53
RUMOR: Cruz to drop out because Rubio promised him a Supreme Court appointment... - Remlik Mar 1, 11:44 11
- "And we have the first Supreme Court nominee to be unanimously rejected by the Senate..." -- nm - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 1, 11:50 1
  - Like the Senate would vote to keep him around. 99-0 For. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:54
- Rumor has to be based in fact. Cruz couldn't even get his own party's Senators to vote for him. -- nm* - David Mar 1, 11:49 1
  - First nominee to ever be killed on the Senate floor. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:52
- Nah, God wants him to president, not SC Justice. -- nm - mara Mar 1, 11:48
- And Rubio to drop out because Trump offered... -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:48 2
  - Prime real estate in South Beach. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:49 1
    - So you're saying there's a chance! -- nm - Rubio Mar 1, 11:52
- that's Rubio's alpha move, but I'd be surprised--I think Cruz is too stubborn to agree to something like this -- nm - ML Mar 1, 11:47
- I give this about 0.001% chance of being true. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:46 1
  - if that. -- nm - Remlik Mar 1, 11:46
If anyone needs me, I'll be over here on my phone, watching my cats play with their toys. -- nm* - znufrii, Neko Atsume addict Mar 1, 11:36
The DJI Phantom 3 was awesome. The DJI Phantom 4 is awesome, and flies itself. -- (link) - Mop Mar 1, 11:34 2
- although it sounds AWESOME, i'm really skeptical about the obstacle avoidance in it. yet to see a good version roll out. - colin Mar 1, 12:01
- $1400 of awesome :) -- nm - oblique Mar 1, 11:36
The new Aston Martin DB11. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 1, 11:30

RIP Carter Capps's 2016 -- (link*) - ML Mar 1, 11:05 4
- I know it was only 31 innings but 16.8 K/9? Damn, son. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 11:06 3
  - well when your delivery starts like this... -- (link) - ML Mar 1, 11:08 2
    - Still don't think that should be legal. -- nm* - znufrii Mar 1, 11:11
    - Oh, yeah. Forgot about that. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 11:11
2012 Washington Draft: #2 pick, Robert Griffin III: Perp Walked. #102 pick, Kirk Cousins: Franchise Tagged -- nm - decline Mar 1, 10:59 9
- The Redskins fans who hated the selection of Cousins at the time owe a certain GM an apology. -- nm - David Mar 1, 11:00 8
  - Still a bad deal given what was given up for the franchise. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:11 7
    - Also, can you tell I think Cousins is fools gold still? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:14 6
      - Even so, he gave a playoff-level QB performance for a fourth round pick. He's already worth more than the draft spot. -- nm - David Mar 1, 11:41 5
        
        Yeah. I think his 2015 was inflated due to QOO but it's so rare for a 4th round QB to do much. -- nm - ML Mar 1, 11:43
        
        only because they broke the guy they mortgaged the future on -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 1, 11:42 3
        
        RG3's health and Cousins' performance are separate entities. -- nm - David Mar 1, 11:43 2
        
        Cousins only had the opportunity to play when Shanahan destroyed RG III's knee -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 1, 11:45 1
        
        You have to break some eggs... -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:48
I just got an email from the Georgia Secretary of State with big bold letters THE END IS NEAR at the top of the email. - spamlet Mar 1, 10:58 11
- I think he's just relieved. -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 11:29
- DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM -- nm - ML Mar 1, 11:06
- what movie has the quote " the end is mo/fo neigh" across the church wall? 28 days later? -- nm - Epiphany Mar 1, 11:01
- ... are you in Georgia? -- nm - colin Mar 1, 11:00 4
  - No, it's an email about filing our company's annual report in Georgia. It's due 4/1. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 11:01 3
    - 31 days man! You only have 31 days!! -- nm - decline Mar 1, 11:03 1
      - Florida sent me one today for ours due 5/1 but wasn't quite so yell-y. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 11:04
    - ah ok. makes sense. -- nm - colin Mar 1, 11:03
- any news about your car yet? I've been wondering. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 11:00 2
  - Nada. The judge in the main class action gave them a month to come up with something but I don't really know what authority he has. - spamlet Mar 1, 11:03 1
    - Though they do seem to be buying back 2010s sitting on dealer lots. -- nm - spamlet Mar 1, 11:03
Snippet on the radio, Rolling Stones to play 3 free concerts in Havana following Obamas visit -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 10:48

O's already up 1-0 on the Braves after one inning. good start to the season -- nm - sweet baboo Mar 1, 10:32 7
- local sports news here showed Hanley Ramirez making a few plays at 1st base and sarcastically commented that they were - Diva Mar 1, 10:58 6
  - I can't get how a guy can play SS which requires a lot of positional smarts and athleticism and then fails in LF and 1B - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:13 4
    - He's blocking mentally. He doesn't want to play in the field (he wants to DH and eat) so he's preventing himself from getting better. -- nm* - Diva Mar 1, 11:16 3
      - Man, is he on the wrong team if he wants to advance to DH merely by getting fat. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:19 2
        
        I added the eat part just for fun. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 11:23

- so this mean? rubio now has one delegate? -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 11:37 3
  - A deleate here, delegate there... pretty soon you are talking about a brokered convention. -- nm - Spawn Mar 1, 11:41
  - IIRC, it means it makes Rubio and Cruz tied entering today. Trump is out in front by a wide margin. - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:40 1
    - I forgot they have mostly proportional distribution, not winner take all -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 1, 11:47

Don't tell anyone, but I was a traitor and went to Aldi today for groceries. They bribed me with $5 and the news they now take credit cards. - Qale Mar 1, 10:27 16
- Yeah, I saw the Aldi news on Reddit. That's huge for us. We might actually change credit cards because of it. - spamlet Mar 1, 10:32 15
  - (I use the amex blue for 3% back on groceries except when disco or chase have 5%.) -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 10:55 7

      - 5% on cell phones? tell me more (I just took over our phone bill). -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 11:10 5
        
        Chase Ink and Amex SimplyCash both do 5% on cell phones, cable, and office supply stores. - spamlet Mar 1, 11:13 4
        
        is chase ink free? I could convert my amazon visa. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 11:24 3
        
        There was a free one but I'm not sure if it's still around. - spamlet Mar 1, 11:29 2
        
        all of my chase cards are waaaaaay old. I don't really churn. -- nm - sp commander amanda jones Mar 1, 11:48 1
        
        It's not just Chase cards. It's *any* issuer. - spamlet Mar 1, 11:55
  - I like options. I definitely don't like shopping at my own store since it's at the richy rich area. -- nm - Qale Mar 1, 10:44 6
    - you didn't move to a new store? -- nm - colin Mar 1, 10:44 5

- I'm dropping this here - a HSX world where Lonely Island Movie news bumps it 7 points but Dark Tower is only 1 pt up - is a HSX World - Epiphany Mar 1, 10:47 3
