Seriously, why does daylight savings still exist and can we obliterate it? -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 07:30 23
- There's a bill in MO to go the way of IN. I assume it has something to do with the Federal government not being able to tell *us* what time it is. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 07:39
- Because daylight before I get up in the morning is wasted, daylight after supper is awesome. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 07:38 12
  - The concept of "used" and "wasted" daylight is L5! worthy. If anything, it being dark when I wake up is a waste of daylight. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 07:44 5
    - if it's light at 5am, what percentage of the population is utilizing that? -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 07:45 4

How to Steal a Nomination From Donald Trump -- (link) - spamlet Mar 14, 06:38 9
- This article assumes that (somehow) Trump doesn't win 1237, which seems a bit far fetched at this point. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 07:13
- *grabs the popcorn* -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 07:05
- Consequence free, one supposes. -- nm - Reagen Mar 14, 06:51 6

Starwood gets a surprise, unsolicited offer from a Chinese consortium which could upend the announced deal with Marriott. -- (link) - spamlet Mar 14, 06:06 3
- Whoa - that's huge. Anyway to see this article without having to set up an account? -- nm - Jim Mar 14, 06:50 2
  - Go to Google News and search for the headline. It will allow you to read on clickthrough. - spamlet Mar 14, 06:56 1
    - Sweet...thanks. And no, she's not Starwood. She's IHG...but the Starwood/Marriott merger is a really big frickin' deal - Jim Mar 14, 06:58
"Brock Osweiler will make $7 million more than Brady over the next two seasons." -- nm - David's iPad Mar 14, 05:56 20

  - Old Man Brady -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 07:20
  - He is a team first guy. He wants to win -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 06:55 2
    - Before we start erecting monuments in honor to his selflessness, let's recall his wife makes more than he could. -- nm - ML Mar 14, 06:59 1
      - Wasn't he doing this before he got married? -- nm - Bacon Mar 14, 07:03
  - this is one of the things I admire about Brady the most... - Mel Profit Mar 14, 06:52 14
    - Or lots of money under the table. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 07:04
    - Mrs. Brady is the breadwinner in that family. - David Mar 14, 06:58
    - If need be, he just asks Gisele for some spending money to go to the water park. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:58 11
      - Honey, I need to destroy another phone... -- nm - Tom Mar 14, 07:29 1
        
        "Hey hon...has my package come yet?" -- nm - Manning Face Mar 14, 07:46
      - See there, Hoodie? *That's* why I take those paycheck cuts... - Brady si Mar 14, 07:03
      - agreed - get him an O-line. -- nm - Mel Profit Mar 14, 06:59 7
        
        Also, short scrappy white guy receiver ... it's about time they trade in Edelman for the new model, right? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 07:03 6
        
        They're supposedly looking at scrappin scrapper Hogan from the Bills who entirely fits the profile. (or has that ship already sailed? I took a powder - Diva Mar 14, 07:06
        
        They already got him. -- (link) - ML Mar 14, 07:05 3

        dunno, but lets hope QC fixed the broken head problem that plagued the last model -- nm - ML Mar 14, 07:10

Toughest Brackets: South, MidWest, West, East -- nm - budice Mar 14, 05:43 23
- It doesn't seem to matter as far as distance this year but why is Kansas in the South and not the Mid-West? -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 06:54
- I continue to be outraged that Wichita St. got assigned to a play-in game. - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 14, 06:18 20
  - The tourney is becoming such a joke. The pandering to football schools/conferences is outrageous. -- nm - decline Mar 14, 06:44
  - UNI won the conference tournament so that put Wichita into the at-large group where they were judged against - Krusty Mar 14, 06:38 8
    - All true. Their strongest opponents were early in the season when, unfortunately, Van Vleet was out. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 14, 06:50 7
      - I don't know what happened but they didn't schedule many top 50 or 100 teams. I don't know if they couldn't get those schools to play them - Krusty Mar 14, 06:52 6
        
        None of those schools ever want to play the Missouri Valley. It's always been an issue. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 14, 06:58 5
        
        It's infuriating really. The big conference teams are scared of the very real possibility of losing to an MVC team, so they won't schedule them... - Jim Mar 14, 07:03
        
        I would love to see the NCAA set up some sort of rotation where the major conference schools have to play a mid-major from each conference but there's - Krusty Mar 14, 07:02 3
        
        That would bump some of the NAIA and D-II teams they play early on though! - spamlet Mar 14, 07:23 1
        
        Haha! -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 07:25
        
        How about instead of the Big 10/ACC matchup or the Big 12/SEC challenge they can do it with mid-major conferences. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 07:11
  - And conversely, there are those that Wichita St made the tournament at all vs say Monmouth -- nm - JD Mar 14, 06:28 9
    - The #12 team in the country's tournament bid shouldn't be up for debate. - David Mar 14, 06:38
    - Oh I'd have dumped some mediocre major conference school like Pitt, Syracuse, or Michigan in a second to include Monmouth. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Mar 14, 06:37 1
      - Seriously, if for no other reason than optics for Syracuse. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:40
    - maybe Monmouth shoulda been more focused on honing basketball skills instead of clever sideline dance routines -- nm - prayformojo Mar 14, 06:35 5
      - Monmouth had bad losses that cost them a spot. No other team in the conversation lost four times to teams near or out of the top 200. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 06:39 4
        
        Becuase most of the mid-majors don't play teams that low. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:41 3
        
        The schedules are the toughest thing for some of these schools to overcome. There are only so many non-conference games and getting a big school to -- (edited) - Krusty Mar 14, 06:43 2
        
        Well, Monmouth is hosed now becuase no big school will take them on. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 06:45 1
        
        Pretty much. It's so difficult for the mid-majors. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 06:47
- Yup. -- nm - Krusty Mar 14, 05:57
Yeow. I looked up the NIT brackets and saw Georgetown wasn't listed. Couldn't find any reason why - maybe we declined (wouldn't surprise me, but - prayformojo Mar 14, 05:39

  - heh, I bet 'somehow bypassed the vehicle's immobilizer' ends up being 'forgot to engage the vehicle's immobilizer.' -- nm - mafic Mar 14, 00:27 1

so the weird concrete bunker house I posted last week? went and saw it, very good design, very poorly finished. - mafic Mar 13, 22:00 6
- by the time you fix the problems and the replace the finishings, you have a million dollar house -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 13, 23:10
- That's unfortunate. (for "baseboards", do you mean trim? I'm used to it being shorthand for baseboard heaters) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 13, 22:53 4
  - I do. places here generally don't have heat, unless it's part of A/C. -- nm - mafic Mar 13, 23:08 2
    - Well, what do they do when it gets cold? - Beryllium Mar 13, 23:08 1
      - Australia's best-kept secret: it gets cold. - mafic Mar 14, 00:25
