Saint Louis University baseball players won't be punished for calling Obama a "watermelon eatin baboon" -- (link) - budice Apr 19, 07:04 2

WaPo: Say goodbye to your neighborhood bank branch -- (link) - budice Apr 19, 06:58 9
- We went to the bank to deposit in the kids savings account yesterday. That was the first time in months we'd been there. - spamlet Apr 19, 07:10
- I really need to get on board with mobile check deposit. - znufrii Apr 19, 07:06 5
  - I still go into branches as well. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 07:09 1
    - Silly, that's what ATMs are for! - znufrii Apr 19, 07:12
  - I do it all the time with two different banks. Just two quick pics and it's deposited. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 07:09 2
    - I've used it a couple times, even did it for tax docs this year. -- nm - budice Apr 19, 07:10 1
      - I belong to a credit union and there's no branch anywhere near where I go so it's my only option. - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 07:12
- I feel bad for the people working in them, but I haven't needed to go into a bank in over a year. - Bacon Apr 19, 07:01
- Considering every new development here has at least one bank, I'm gonna say this is premature. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 06:59
c'mon, groiny - ML Apr 19, 06:56 7
- I had started to turn into Woody Harrelson from Zombieland with his Twinkies.... - groiny Apr 19, 07:03
- Though they do seem to be phasing out the 10 products. I can't find them outside grocery stores anymore. -- nm - iSpam Apr 19, 06:59 5
  - right, I can hardly find Dr Pepper 10 now, which is why I kinda bought it. -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 07:02 4
    - Which is a shame because I would go out of my way to get one if I knew a place usually had them. - iSpam Apr 19, 07:04 3
      - yup. I would buy a case at the Wal Mart by work, and keep it under my desk. - groiny Apr 19, 07:06 2
        
        My Wal-Mart still had a single row of them a couple of weeks ago. Try the Jewel as I know our grocery store still has 12 packs. -- nm* - spamlet Apr 19, 07:07 1
        
        I know Target also stopped carrying it here. I rarely walk into a Jewel -- nm - groiny Apr 19, 07:10
Looking at pictures from a protest at the Capitol last week, this sign is quite good I have to admit. - MDH Apr 19, 06:52 1

I wonder what the odds are on Game 4 starting with 3 fights off the faceoff - Will Hunting Apr 19, 06:41
Groupon just emailed me a 50% off coupon -- nm - budice Apr 19, 06:36 3
- I'm so jelly of your groupon status - I NEVER get those types of offers and I buy from them! -- nm - Pippy Apr 19, 06:44
- I bought headphones from groupon last week. I was *stunned* at how fast they shipped. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Apr 19, 06:41

- This needs to end. Also, isn't there a chance the chief votes for it? -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:30 7
  - I'm to the point I almost hope they don't confirm. The new nominee will be so liberal in 2017, and the GOP can suck it. -- nm - MDH Apr 19, 06:49 2
    - If they don't confirm that's my hope. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:57

Any one of you super cool insiders want to share Kipers latest mock? Or at least the Bengals portion of it? -- nm* - volnelk Apr 19, 06:20 4
- if he has a new one out today, I don't know it--but his 4.0 draft had them taking WR Will Fuller -- nm - ML Apr 19, 06:27 3
  - Sweet. Yeah I think there is a new one. But it's basically who they SHOULD take, not who he thinks they will. Might be the same. -- nm - volnelk Apr 19, 06:28 2
    - OK here's today's mock. He has them going DT this time. (link) -- (link) - ML Apr 19, 06:31 1
      - Is it like monkeys and Shakespeare? If he posts enough mocks one of them will be right? -- nm - iSpam Apr 19, 06:50

Yahoo is so incompetent. Going to the fantasy sports main page no longer provides a link to all of your fantasy sports teams. - ML Apr 19, 06:13 11

- When I use this link I get a list of my teams on the right. -- (link) - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:15 1
  - I get half my FBB teams and a FFL team thrown in along the mess of real-life scheduling between multiple sports. -- nm - ML Apr 19, 06:22

    - Common theme on my FB. Friends in NY voting Hillary ending it with "imwithher" to which this is the response: - MDH Apr 19, 06:21 8
      - The Bernie supporter theme of calling Hillary a Republican is absolutely one of the dumbest things to come out of this campaign -- nm* - ty97 Apr 19, 06:34 7
        
        Yeah, she's not liberal but she's certainly not a republican. She's a middle of the road candidate. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:47 5
        
        [deleted] 4
        
        From what I hear and know of her she's not. She's too hawkish and still too tough on drugs. He loses a lot of points for his gun record. I have no - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 07:05 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        No on what she says. She's not a friend of the legalization movement. I do like that she seems ready to go after the awful prison sentences. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 07:15
        
        Is is bad that Bernie loves to help gun manufacturers avoid lawsuits from victims? #FEELTHEBANGBERN -- nm - Bacon Apr 19, 07:04
        
        Yeah. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 19, 06:34

    - my new voting spot is *miles* from my house. it will be super inconv to vote. there's another polling place three blocks away but - unbreakable mandy jones Apr 19, 06:11 7
      - That's super illogical! -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 06:21
      - Any reason for the closer one not being the one you use? -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:14 5
        
        it's just where I live. i wonder if there's a map... -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Apr 19, 06:19 4
        
        oh right, here. -- (link) - unbreakable mandy jones Apr 19, 06:23 2
        
        I know you guys are dying to know: I found my house! (if you want to know where it is, let me know). -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Apr 19, 07:03 1
        
        Which precinct are you in? -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 07:09
        
        Sorry, that really sucks. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:21

Wow, New York has no early voting? Amazing how far they are behind the times compared to other states. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 03:53 41
- [deleted] 28
  - There are some things NY is great about with voting but there are a number of things I would like to see improved. -- nm - ty97 Apr 19, 05:40 3
    - [deleted] 1
      - When I lived in TX, voting was very easy. Early voting (in which you could vote anywhere in the county). They have since added a stringent voter i - ty97 Apr 19, 05:55
    - (in which ty97 makes a list of some of these things) - ty97 Apr 19, 05:43
  - I just learned yesterday that those generous hours are only in certain counties apparently. - ty97 Apr 19, 05:31 15
    - As I said below, I wonder if historically they don't vote in the morning so there's no need to have early hours. - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:37 14
      - Based on this map, I don't think it's fair to call Early Voting a "liberal" thing. -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 19, 05:40 3
        
        Good thing it's not based just on that map, then. - znufrii Apr 19, 06:02
        
        I call it a liberal thing because we're the ones that tend to be the ones fighting for easier voting while the other side - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:42 1
        
        But that map does show a couple of blue states that need to get their act together, especially the one I'm sitting in right now. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:44
      - I grew up in one of the counties that opens at noon and while it's not urban, it's certainly not rural either. - ty97 Apr 19, 05:39 9
        
        I don't think I have ever seen a voting hours that starts at noon. - Will Hunting Apr 19, 05:52
        
        Oh, I agree. I'm all for making it easier for people to vote. I was just unsure if those counties have a history of not going to vote early in - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:42 7
        
        I'm assuming the law (which has been around since 1976) has longer hours in the populated counties simply because they are so populated - ty97 Apr 19, 05:46 6

        I guess commuting from an upstate farm is now out of the question. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:51 3
        
        There are people in my childhood county who commute to NYC - ty97 Apr 19, 06:14 2
        
        Poughkeepsie? I can see it being close enough but is that farm country? -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 06:20 1
        
        Parts of the county are rural, parts are not. It's built up a lot. - ty97 Apr 19, 06:22
        
        That would make sense though it's NY and politics so that would be surprising. - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:49
  - The October deadline is just fine and wasn't a problem until this year. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:22
  - nobody has voter ID laws, do they? -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Apr 19, 05:20 4
    - Ours sure does. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 19, 05:48

    - Lots of states do and it's awful. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:21
  - I'm reading 1 example of rural locations opening at Noon. - Strongbad Apr 19, 04:18 1
    - Where over the years they likely didn't vote early so they learned there's no need to open polls at 6am. Or, it's just antiquated rules that need to - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:16
- Reading about opaque and oppressive voter laws. Party registration had to have been changed by 10/9/15 in order to vote today. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 19, 03:57 11
  - That is neither opaque or oppressive. I like our primary rules and I wouldn't want them changed. They're fair if you're paying attention to things. -- nm - Krusty Andromedon Apr 19, 05:19
  - And if your party affiliation somehow got changed from Democrat to Unaffiliated without your knowledge or consent, like happened to a friend of mine - znufrii Apr 19, 04:11 9
    - There's also a lawsuit claiming mass voter roll purges -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 19, 04:20 8
      - I'm interested in the 60K people who disappeared in Brooklyn (which I posted about yesterday) but I'm not willing to call it a purge yet. - ty97 Apr 19, 05:34
