- Christie just doesn't give any f*cks anymore. -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:13
- Not that I expected much from Christie, but that is really beyond the pale. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 09:12 1
  - I realize he's not eligible for reelection so optics perhaps mean less to him now, but still: really bad optics. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:14
Survivor spoilers - Beaker Mar 14, 09:06 7

Considering the polls a week ago, Hillary needs to fire whomever is in charge of IL, MO, and OH. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:03 8
- what's happening? can I get the 25 cent version? (I have budget review weds.) -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 14, 09:14
- or just use different polls -- nm - decline Mar 14, 09:04
- I don't think she can fire herself. -- nm - ty97 Mar 14, 09:04 5
  - It's not a good time to be a moderate politician. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:08 4
    - Moderate voters play a role in this. -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Mar 14, 09:14
    - Or a good one. (nm) -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:09 2
      - Apparently all you need now to appeal to people is good ole fashioned hate, or a lot of promises which have zero math supporting them. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 09:11 1
        
        Sounds about right. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 09:12
Oops. There was a spoiler in the Civil War trailer. -- (link) - Spawn Mar 14, 08:59 3
- How spoilery is it really? -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 09:01 2
  - no more than - spoils - Beaker Mar 14, 09:02 1

Not DST-related! I am *seriously* considering getting a ticket for one of the Thursday showings of BvS. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:57 1
- I would hope so. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:01
Reposted from below (and previously I think). Interactive "what if" DST visualizer -- (link) - oblique Mar 14, 08:57
This is the least surprising thing I've read today -- (link) - ty97 Mar 14, 08:55 12
- Yeah, I don't expect the protests to change the minds of those predisposed to support Trump. - Mop Mar 14, 09:03 9
  - I think it will do the opposite -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 09:12
  - Right - what this forces Drumpf to do is stay right where he is. No pivot to the middle for him. - Mel Profit Mar 14, 09:11
  - Only if you see the Trump side as the aggressors. It's America; protesting minorities are viewed with suspicion more than angry whites. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:08 3
    - People doing "Heil Hitler" signs on the street... a restrained black man getting sucker punched... women being attacked... -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 09:11 2
      - You are again looking at this from the view of a liberal-leaning guy - Will Hunting Mar 14, 09:24
      - Will has a point but this is the counter. - Mel Profit Mar 14, 09:13
  - You're (incorrectly perhaps) assuming that the casual viewer will see the Trump supporters as the aggressors. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 14, 09:05 2
    - I think you are incorrect. Now as for if those casual viewers can see if that is right or wrong? Agreed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:13
    - *punches you in the face* - znufrii Mar 14, 09:10
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 08:59

- "All sorting has been completed at the delivery unit for today's deliveries at 8:19 am on March 14, 2016 in GARDEN GROVE, CA" Yay!! -- nm - Meg Mar 14, 08:59

  - Columbus? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:51
I know you were all worried, but no more. The NFL Competition Committee will be discussing more ways to protect the quarterback. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:41 6
- At this point, how much more can they do? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 08:45 5
  - QBs now get Ward of Dawn, with both armour of light and blessing of light, with a 4 second cooldown. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:47

  - Armored tank. -- nm - David Mar 14, 08:45 1

- The entire Jessica Jones series. A-. Very tense. Oddly the show it most reminded me of was (spoils) - pmb Mar 14, 09:09 1
  - You considered that heavy? Hmm. I thought it quite necessary. But A- is still a good grade. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 09:11
- Spotlight: A -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 08:59
- The Big Short: A -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 08:57
- San Andreas : F. -- nm - decline Mar 14, 08:57
- Bridge of Spies -- B+ (Rylance was great, Hanks was Hanks...) -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 08:56
- Hobbit: Battle of Five Armies: B (hard to believe these same folks did the Battle of Helm's Deep which is awesome) -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 08:51 2
  - watching PJack turn into GLUCA with this was so disappointing... - Manning Face Mar 14, 08:58 1
    - I still love the first one, but the 5 armies battle was ridiculous when it should have been the awesome. -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 09:00
- Zootopia: C+ Not a lot of originality, frankly. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 08:50 4
  - Interesting. Everyone seemed to be raving about it -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 08:51 3
    - I thought they did a lot more with it than I was expecting - prayformojo Mar 14, 08:54
    - I feel as mop does. (god, shoot me.) -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Mar 14, 08:52 1
      - YOU'RE INTO COLLEGE CHICKS? -- nm - groiny Mar 14, 09:04
- 10 Cloverfield Lane: B; Sisters: D+; Bridge of Spies: still an A- -- nm* - kelly Mar 14, 08:44

  - ::growls at you:: - Logan Mar 14, 09:09
- i think you guys are all exaggerating wildly, - Andie Mar 14, 08:30 25
  - Yeah I don't get it either. -- nm - MDH Mar 14, 08:57
  - I was up until 1:30am last night. I mean 12:30. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 14, 08:55
  - ST's slow, sad trend towards physical and mental decrepitude is no joke, Andie. -- nm - Roger More Mar 14, 08:53
  - Not in the least. And I am serious, the reports of car accidents this morning went on nearly 3x as long as a usual Monday. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:45 4
    - and yet most actual studies show the exact opposite effect -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 08:46 3
      - There are studies that show lack of sleep is good for accidents? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:47 2
        
        Duh. You should catch up on some sleep first before reading them though. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:48 1
        
        I mean, they say relaxing on impact is a good thing so I guess actually being asleep could be seen as a plus. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:52
  - I certainly hope so -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 08:45
  - It's hard enough getting the kids up around 7. This morning, biologically, it was like getting them up at 6. - Mop Mar 14, 08:44
  - For sure. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:43
  - seriously. -- nm - CQ Mar 14, 08:41
  - I don't think I'd generally notice it so much, but having just spent a month at sea switching back and forth between Eastern and Central time and then - Meg Mar 14, 08:40 2
    - The fun place is Arizona - that doesn't switch to daylight saving - but the Hopi Reservation does. You can have an hour's difference on - Meg Mar 14, 08:43 1
      - Saskatchewan!!! -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:43
  - [deleted]
  - I will say this, I don't care at all. My 10 week old daughter had some serious issues with it. - volnelk Mar 14, 08:38 1
    - What I always hated with little kids was how long it was light out at night. They would never go to bed. I think we posted this link before -- (link) - oblique Mar 14, 08:47
  - And a day later -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 08:32 6
    - Sunday means *nothing* as we all slept like normal. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:37 5
      - If y'all got up for church it would :P -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 08:38 4
        
        Our priest always had a good time poking fun at people who would show up at the end of mass, having forgotten to change their clocks. -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 08:49
        
        But seriously, get up at a "normal" time on Sunday (which is one hour earlier) and the problem is fixed for Monday. -- nm* - spamlet Mar 14, 08:41 1
        
        This makes less than zero sense. - Spawn Mar 14, 08:42
        
        heh -- nm - prayformojo Mar 14, 08:40
- Do you even read this board? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:30
you know what else has been the norm for too long? Gravity. Fuck that shit -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 08:24 4
- Beaker turned into Trump so slowly... But seriously, 10 years vs forever? You use that as an argument? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:26 3
  - well, more like 100 years in a lot of places. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 08:29 2
    - But see, gravity is and has always been planet-wide. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:29 1
      - Hippie invention in the 60's -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 08:39
A one word line spoiler from B v S. Plus, international trailer has a little new footage. -- (edited) - Spawn Mar 14, 08:17
So, how bullshit is this? - znufrii Mar 14, 08:16 2
- BURN IT DOWN -- nm - ML Mar 14, 08:23
- DST? Total. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:19
"Xena" Reboot Will "Fully" Explore Xena-Gabrielle Relationship - Spawn Mar 14, 08:13 3
- I've seen that porno. - David Mar 14, 08:32 1
  - there is fan fiction of them from "dariusX" from the late 90s. -- nm - Manning Face Mar 14, 08:41
- i always liked Gabrielle (well, the actress, anyway) a lot more than Xena -- nm - call me Ishmael Mar 14, 08:15
Ok, guys. Time for something serious. Who finishes third tomorrow: Rubio or Kasich? - spamlet Mar 14, 08:06 5
- I agree with Will's logic. - ty97 Mar 14, 08:28
- Kasich -- nm - znufrii Mar 14, 08:07
- Kasich --- Rubio's going to get hammered in Florida and drop out. Kasich is going to win Ohio and remain in. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 08:06 2
  - Do we expect Trump to sweep the other states tomorrow basicly making Ohio somewhat meaningless? -- nm* - Eag Mar 14, 08:46
  - Yup, and Rubio will earn the seat at Kasich's right hand. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:07
While we're at it, we should kill off timezones too. So. Annoying. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:03 9
- When I'm president I will build a wall to keep these timezones out of the U.S -- nm - Trump Mar 14, 08:38
- It wouldn't fix anything. We'd just have daylight from 11pm to 9am and be up during those hours instead. -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 08:04 7
  - It would solve a lot of business issues. "Let's have a call at 2pm." "What time is that in <insert different timezone here> again?" -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:08 5
    - No it wouldn't because at 2am Asia would be sleeping. You would still have to account for the daylight hours there. - spamlet Mar 14, 08:12 4
      - Minor problems are minor. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:15 3
        
        But it's. not. easier. which was your argument. - spamlet Mar 14, 08:16 2
        
        Sure sure. -- nm - Shaun Mar 14, 08:18 1
        
        Global businesses should be 24/7, anyway. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:19
  - 100 years ago, maybe. But anymore with the internet does it really matter? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:06
So my neighborhood is under a precautionary boil order. People are idiots - oblique Mar 14, 07:59 4
- In Canada, you'd just get fresh water from the spring running through your back yard. -- nm - Mop Mar 14, 08:51
- Flint! -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:27
- but if they boil the water, won't it be too hot for them to drink? -- nm - prayformojo Mar 14, 08:26 1
  - And I heard the same goes for the bottled water! -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:27
You want more light, get up earlier. Problem, fixed. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 07:50 23
- because i can get so many things accomplished at 5am, everything is open. -- nm* - Andie Mar 14, 07:59 6
  - This reads as a joke, but I am not sure? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:05 5
    - consider it dripping with sarcasm. subways aren't even running at 5am. -- nm - Andie Mar 14, 08:07 4
      - wait, what? Your *subways* aren't running at 5am? - ty97 Mar 14, 08:32 3
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        hey - you have a cousin (friend?) in Belleville, right? - Andie Mar 14, 08:44
        
        nope, it's super annoying. 6am. we have some 24 hour street car and bus routes, but not subway. - Andie Mar 14, 08:34
- What I don't get is the bitching. Seriously, 1 hour of sleep throws you into a tailspin of crap you can't recover from? -- nm - oblique Mar 14, 07:56 15
  - this -- nm - Beaker Mar 14, 08:22
  - You forgot what DST is like with small children then? -- nm - spamlet Mar 14, 08:13 7
    - Yup. Normally the kids are first up, today they be like the Walking Dead up in here -- nm - ML Mar 14, 08:23 5
      - *fails to see downside* -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 14, 08:26 4
        
        school - ML Mar 14, 08:31 3
        
        Six!?! What kind of school do you guys have out there? -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:44
        
        Our school had late start today - oblique Mar 14, 08:35
        
        I registered Nathan for Pre-K today. The secretary apologized for being behind schedule a bit. She held up the stack of tardy slips. - kelly Mar 14, 08:34
    - Logan is double *pissed* as today he has gym. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:14
  - [deleted]
  - Judging by the increased number of accidents reported on the radio this morning? Plus the state of Amy, Logan and myself? Yes. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:09
  - Possible increased risk of heart attack and stroke for older people and those with cancer -- (link) - Covington Mar 14, 08:00 3
    - how come nobody ever has dire warnings on travelling to different time zones? -- nm* - Andie Mar 14, 08:02 2
      - Adrenaline rush easily compensates. -- nm - Spawn Mar 14, 08:04
      - When I was in Indiana and crossed over into the next time zone...it threw me badly. - Will Hunting Mar 14, 08:04
