i'm not sure i would have known this was Taylor Swift without her name on the cover... -- (link) - Andie Apr 14, 06:39 2
- She almost looks like Milla Jovanovich with blond hair. -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 06:58 1
  - My thought too. -- nm - Ender Apr 14, 07:08
If the whole point of laddering CDs is to take advantage of rising interest rates, I shouldn't have any qualms switching banks to get a 5bp increase - znufrii Apr 14, 06:16
Do we have any Simple customers here? - spamlet Apr 14, 06:16 11
- My gf is looking at them since Google cut off support for the Google card. Chime is another one that people recommend and they do instant transfers. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 06:28
- it looks pretty cool but I can't break up with boa. I *lover* them. -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 14, 06:24 8
  - We're (well, I'm) actually thinking of it for the kid's first account. - spamlet Apr 14, 06:27 7
    - wait, what pod? are you holding out on me? -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 14, 06:37 1
      - Slate Money (w/ Felix Salmon) - spamlet Apr 14, 06:42
    - I think Chase has a prepaid debit card that gets good reviews. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 06:29 4
      - Oh, thanks I'll take a look. The AmEx prepaid cards aren't terrible fee wise but there are still places AMEX isn't accepted. -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 06:32 3
        
        My gf and I have had one for a while and most have too many fees. Simple, Chase and Chime are three I've seen recently that have - Krusty Apr 14, 06:38 2
        
        Yeah, I've never heard of Chime. I've added them to the list. -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 06:44 1
        
        I think they're the only one that does immediate debit transfers so you can load the card from your bank card if - Krusty Apr 14, 06:48
- pixie is pretty dumb...oh -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 06:16
You should not threaten babies. -- nm - Helena Apr 14, 06:12
Rams just traded a boatload of picks for the number one pick from the titans -- nm - decline Apr 14, 06:12 26
- I think the chances of Wentz going #1 just skyrocketed -- nm - decline Apr 14, 06:49
- details here - Beaker Apr 14, 06:14 22
  - Holy Crap, is this worse than the Hershel Walker trade? -- nm - amoxy Apr 14, 06:27 2
    - Nah. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 06:29 1
      - the 30 for 30 on that trade from Jimmy's perspective is great -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 06:30
  - Jeebus -- nm - ML Apr 14, 06:20
  - Even the Nets think they gave up a lot. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 06:18 3
    - moving from the 15th it is the biggest jump to 1st overall ever though -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 06:19 2
      - They better hope the QB they take is the man for years to come. - Krusty Apr 14, 06:27 1

  - Jeebus. That seems like a lot to give up. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 06:17 3
    - *blank stare* -- nm - Kevin Costner Apr 14, 06:18 2
      - Is this a Draft Day reference? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 14, 06:39
      - I had two guesses who posted this. - spamlet Apr 14, 06:18
  - Jeff Fisher's job security is on the clock. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 06:17 5
    - His job was to get the team moved and settled. Whatever he does after is fine. -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 06:17 4
      - He is the greatest average coach in NFL history. - Will Hunting Apr 14, 06:21 3
        
        I wasn't kidding. The rumor was because he had experience with relocation he was their #1 guy. -- nm - spamlet Apr 14, 06:22
        
        "With the No. 1 overall pick I think Jeff Fisher can guide the Rams to a record as good as 8-8, or maybe even 8-8." -- nm - ML Apr 14, 06:21 1
        
        The only positive to RG3's implosion is how little the Rams actually did with those picks - Will Hunting Apr 14, 06:22
  - that is a fantastic deal for the Titans. The Rams must have loved one of the QBs up for grabs -- nm* - Beaker Apr 14, 06:15 3
    - You mean the tire fire they had at QB isn't good enough? - spamlet Apr 14, 06:19 1
      - dumpster fire would be better than what they just gave up. They could have drafted 3 QBs and still had an extra pick in the first 3 rounds this year -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 06:23
    - This, wow. -- nm - MDH Apr 14, 06:17
- Hope you do more with the picks than we did when we got the windfall! -- nm - Rams SI Apr 14, 06:13
- well it worked so well for the Skins when they did it...with the Rams... -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 06:13

- Eat your heart out, Ann Miller! -- nm - Robert Barontheon Apr 14, 06:11
A co-worker pointed me to this speculation on the BCS finale related to the episode titles (possible spoils if correct) - Robert Barontheon Apr 14, 05:57
Also, the weird number OCD I have is now glad that there is perfect symmetry in NBA Best/Worst Records.... - Will Hunting Apr 14, 05:45 4
- If I cared about the NBA this would make me happy as well. - spamlet Apr 14, 06:09
- It kills me that there are so many odd numbers. The Bulls record was a nice and even 72-10. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 05:49 2
  - So, if you were a superhero, your mortal enemy would be 13579-Man? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 06:02 1
    - Heh. :-) Very much so. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 06:10

Katy Perry just won a real estate legal battle against some nuns (yes nuns) -- (link) - ty97 Apr 14, 05:11 2
- wait, you mean just because I lived somewhere and was not the legal owner I can't sell it? that is some bullshit! - Beaker Apr 14, 05:14 1
  - we've got a similar issue in our town, but not involving Katy Perry -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 14, 06:10
50 shots?! Hahaha. Even Iversin thinks that's a joke. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 14, 04:52 3
- “Mamba Out!” - Beaker Apr 14, 05:03 2
  - I read "If Steph Curry had this volume of shots, at his efficiency, he would have finished with 95 points." - Will Hunting Apr 14, 05:37
  - He also gave himself that nickname. Class all the way. -- nm - Krusty Apr 14, 05:34
One of our films is in competition at Cannes this year (I, Daniel Blake) - LMS Apr 14, 04:24
It has begun. Gushing reviews start rolling in for Civil War. -- (link) - volnelk Apr 14, 04:03 2
- I'm not going to read them as I'm avoiding as much as I can on it, but this makes me happy -- nm - LMS Apr 14, 04:15 1
  - They're essentially spoiler free beyond the general concept. They mostly just say that it's a big action spectacle that also has a great story. -- nm - volnelk Apr 14, 04:25

  - I wish I got that channel. (it was on my list yesterday, yo.) -- nm - sleep commander amanda jones Apr 14, 05:53 1
    - Blu-ray available -- (link) - LMS Apr 14, 06:05
  - FWIW, I know someone who was hate-watching it (it can be viewed as a ridiculous dumb show if you're in that mindset) -- nm - LMS Apr 14, 04:13
April 14, 1828 – Noah Webster copyrights the first edition of his dictionary. -- nm - Beaker Apr 14, 03:23 5

Little Marco's pledged delegates now mostly up for grabs -- (link) - the brain Apr 13, 23:51 1
- The icing on the cake for Rubio's rivals is that most of his lapsed delegates have not even been selected yet, making them easier to pick off. -- nm - $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ Apr 14, 00:06
M83 - Junk is not just a clever title. - Reagen Apr 13, 23:08 2
- But at least from the one song I heard, perhaps appropriate -- nm - the brain Apr 13, 23:11 1

until about a year ago, I couldn't have told you what team Steph Curry was even on. - Tim Apr 13, 21:40 1
- He has scored 46 tonight in less then 30 minutes playing. And with them up 20 with 6 to play - amoxy Apr 13, 21:44

        no doubt...nm - x Apr 14, 03:21
        
        Still don't think so. Pippen is the next best player on the floor. That Bulls team had some depth too. Kukoc coming off the bench, Harper, Rodman. - pmb Apr 13, 21:50 1
        
        Oh yeah, and a pretty good shooter named Steve Kerr -- nm* - pmb Apr 13, 21:51

    - This made me laugh and laugh. -- nm - Mop Apr 13, 22:00
    - My irritation with her rhyme scheme has been noted here. -- nm - Reagen Apr 13, 21:28 1
