there is something appropriate about Twitter "winning" the exclusive rights to stream NFL Thursday Night games -- nm - the brain Apr 5, 08:36 2
- Holy crap. Streaming HD 140 characters at a time is going to be insane. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:40
- The US rights are not exclusive. NBC/CBS get to stream too. - ty97 Apr 5, 08:37

lost in all the Walking Dead kerfluffle, was a really great 3 minutes of Negan.nm -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 08:33 14
- that episode clearly needed to be only the regular 42 minutes and no the 60 it was. But Neegan was terrific -- nm - Remlik Apr 5, 08:39
- someone has broken down the screams at the end and is surmising that - major spoilers - is the one to die - Beaker Apr 5, 08:39 1
  - 100% red herring. As they said on Talking Dead, they know fans will zapruder the shit out of it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:40
- personally, I thought it was too long by a third -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 08:36 1
  - the whole episode, or his part??? spoils - groiny Apr 5, 08:38
- Was it only 3 minutes? Was wondering that. Took 15 hours to shoot, but was well worth it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:36 1
  - I am not sure how long it was, I was distracted, but still. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 08:38
- Jeffrey Dean Morgan elevates everything. -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:35 6
  - he really, really embraced that role, and owned that shit. -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 08:36 5
    - It's not that different from The Comedian if you think about it -- nm - David Apr 5, 08:38 4
      - Oh, I very much saw it as the natural evolution of the Comedian. It is what happens to him after the outbreak. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:39 2
        
        and if... - Remlik Apr 5, 08:40 1
        
        I dismiss that concept. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:41
      - very true, but that would mean people actually watched the Watchman -- nm - groiny Apr 5, 08:39
I hesitate to post this because, Trump, but there's some detail on how he plans to make Mexico pay for that wall -- (link) - Roger More Apr 5, 08:26 4

  - [deleted] 3
    - Along the lines of "Party X will ruin this country", I'd guess. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 5, 08:30 2
      - Right. If your primary motivation is to vote against something, it's essentially a fearful response of what would happen if. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 5, 08:34 1
        
        Which is fine if that fear is well-grounded, IMO. -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 08:45
- Interesting. Any chance you have a breakdown by party on those stats? -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 08:27 1
  - He didn't break that particular number down by party. - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 5, 08:30

Tales from the shuttle bus: there's an obese, frail woman, who can barely move up front, and she sounds like she's going to die from the coughing. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:21 2

- I don't care. -- nm - Cat Apr 5, 08:22
- Too late! -- nm - Roger More Apr 5, 08:21 1
  - Perusing the article, it's actually *not* the most ridiculous thing but hoo boy, that headline. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:24
Jax, I use Google domains. It's $12/yr but you get free account shielding so you're deets aren't all over the interwebs. -- nm - spamlet, spreading happiness and joy where he goes Apr 5, 08:19 3

      - that's something. -- nm - Mel Profit Apr 5, 08:42

What I learned today....Re-packing an emergency chute on an aircraft costs $15,000 - $20,000 ! - Meg Apr 5, 08:05 16
- "chute" as in "slide" not "parachute". -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:28
- ...you being cheap and probably in need of one from time to time you learned to repack your own. - Mel Profit Apr 5, 08:09
- does this routing work for your Toronto trip? -- (link) - Andie Apr 5, 08:07 [Backboard] 8
  - Bah, answered your original post. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 08:12
  - I'm not sure it will save any money, but Meg can also look at an 'open jaw' LA-->Toronto // Halifax --> LA - ty97 Apr 5, 08:10 3
    - Hmm, hadn't thought of the Porter option out of Toronto. Would avoid that commute back to Pearson, right? - Meg Apr 5, 08:15 2
      - Yup, there's a free shuttle from the train station downtown to the airport. Or it's a very quick/cheap cab. - ty97 Apr 5, 08:18 1
        
        And with bag fee and no seat selection it comes in around $200. -- nm - Meg Apr 5, 08:25

  - This.......... -- (link) - Meg Apr 5, 08:08 1
    - A Jetblue FA did this a few years back too. Basically flamed out, quit his job over the PA, grabbed two beers, and then peaced out on the slide. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:12
  - She owed Meg money. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:06
It would've been better if Villanova was down by 2, but it's still pretty awesome. -- nm - Shaun Apr 5, 07:59 8
- I dug it. Shouldve went with my gut and UNC in Final on the picks. But I rushed it -- nm - budice Apr 5, 08:03
- At this point, it's right up there with Bryce Drew and Tyus Edney in my head. - Strongbad Apr 5, 08:01 5

        Yup. Anything can happen in OT. And a killshot is a killshot. Otherwise, the shot before would be considered "bigger". -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:42
      - Yep. If they were trailing? Full blown 11. -- nm - Shaun Apr 5, 08:31
- More than "pretty" awesome. -- (link) - Spawn Apr 5, 08:00
When living in the middle of nowhere really sucks: two-and-a-half hour shuttle rude to the airport for a one hour flight. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 07:55 15
- don't you have an airport? even we do. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 08:02 14
  - Let's be fair. You're comparing University Park to Corvallis. - Mop Apr 5, 08:20 2
    - town stats are remarkably similar. I looked at wiki. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 08:23 1
      - Putting the town in the middle of open fields and refusing to have an airport keeps the riffraff away. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:26
  - It looks like they don't have commercial service which surprises. Even we had an airport (the university owned it) - ty97 Apr 5, 08:05 10
    - The nearest airport is Eugene which is an hour away. Portland is two hours or 2.5 on a shuttle. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:12 9
      - I'm just surprised you can't maintain a couple of Horizon flights to Seattle or United Express to SFO with your population. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:25 5
        
        Eugene has to subside their flights. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:27 4
        
        Right, but State College and College Station don't have to. And they have multiple carriers. - ty97 Apr 5, 08:29 3
        
        Honestly, Penn State has three times our enrollment. The metrics don't work. - Mop Apr 5, 08:31 2
        
        You're reading the enrollment for all campuses. University Park has 46.8K. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:35 1
        
        And our 33k enrollment includes participation in our massive online campus. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:38
      - I could always make in an hour and a half, easy. -- nm - znufrii Apr 5, 08:24
      - So much time wasted when you could instead be out looking for the Gravity Falls statue. -- nm - Cadbarony Creme Egg Apr 5, 08:19 1
        
        I'm keeping a close eye out the window. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 08:22

    - I love that they are that close (you can see the ball go in behind them) but he is watching the monitor, while Kenny is watching the game. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:32
  - Haha! -- nm - Krusty Apr 5, 08:04 1
    - They showed Kenny celebrating after the basket before. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:05

- i am really impressed with companies that are actively boycotting. -- nm - Andie Apr 5, 07:47 10
  - exactly, teach these idiots a lesson -- nm - CQ Apr 5, 08:19
  - Me too. At the risk of revealing some stereotyping on my part, I'm continually surprised that sports leagues are at the forefront. - ty97 Apr 5, 07:54 8
    - [deleted]
    - Old days, maybe. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:01 4
      - Michael Sam -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:02 3
        
        Rams. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:06 2
        
        Sure, but enough about what he does in his free time. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 08:26 1
        
        Well, he has so much free time, now. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 08:35
    - who else is? -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 5, 08:00
    - yeah, i've thought this is interesting as well -- nm - prayformojo Apr 5, 07:58
- Just because the Tar Heels lost? -- nm - Bacon Apr 5, 07:46
- which would have created 400 jobs in Charlotte -- nm - decline Apr 5, 07:46 1
  - Which is awesome since McDouche-face is the former Mayor of Charlotte. -- nm - sycor Apr 5, 08:03
- Nice -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 07:46
