  - It almost ruined The Martian for me. Almost. -- nm - mud May 6, 07:49

  - Has anyone seen it in 3D? Worth it? -- nm - Beaker May 6, 07:45 1
    - It was IMAX 3D. I do not really notice the 3D that much while I am watching it after the first few minutes. - Spawn May 6, 07:47

- mosquitoes -- nm - Roger More May 6, 07:35 6
  - for real? in august? -- nm - Andie May 6, 07:36 5
    - It's the only time it's warm enough for them to flourish -- nm - Roger More May 6, 07:41 4
      - fine fine, the whim is over. i won't go. -- nm - Andie May 6, 07:45 3
        
        Sorry, but you asked for a reason to not go. -- nm - Roger More May 6, 07:49 1
        
        no, it's good, the whim passed (for the better). -- nm - Andie May 6, 08:01
        
        Don't worry about the mosquitos. - Will Hunting May 6, 07:46
- Once you step off the plane, there's really not that much to do tourist-wise. But if you just want to go look around, I say do it. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 6, 07:32 2
  - yeah, i assume there is kind of nothing there, but, i've never been to nunavut.. -- nm - Andie May 6, 07:34 1
    - I've got friends who spent five years in Rankin. They loved the experience, but couldn't imagine staying too long. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 6, 07:35
Speaking of which that other site CAP 3 currently priced for a 191 mil opening -- nm - eag May 6, 07:22 7

- Was looking for the thread where we all predicted. Can not find it. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 07:31 5
  - Here you go. -- (link) - volnelk May 6, 07:34 [Backboard] 4
    - I'm gonna be conservative and say 195 mil only cause of Sunday being Mothers Day - eag May 6, 07:44 2
      - but it's the perfect mother's day gift -- nm - decline May 6, 07:46 1
        
        It really is. -- (link) - Spawn May 6, 07:48
    - Thank you. Searched for a few words from that and it did not hit. Weird. -- (edited) - Spawn May 6, 07:36
fort McMurray looks like a scene from one of the Fallout games -- (link) - decline May 6, 07:21

B2 did not quite get Spidey in Cap 3 minor temporal spoils - Spawn May 6, 07:05
*taps foot, marge-clucks* Why isn't my port growing fast enough? -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 07:05 1
- its nerve racking - holy crap next week is going to be fun -- nm - Pippy May 6, 07:08
Krusty did you see my reply on B2? -- nm - Shaun May 6, 07:05 22
- I did. I'm going in with the idea that I'll enjoy him and the film. I'm not expecting or hoping to dislike him. - Krusty May 6, 07:08 21
  - I thought he was the best thing in it. - LMS May 6, 07:37
  - The intro scene to him may be my fav in the movie. -- nm - Spawn May 6, 07:17 11
    - you mean the one that's COMPLETELY SPOILED in the trailers? -- nm - mud May 6, 07:40 3
      - nope, nope, nope. -- nm - groiny May 6, 07:40
      - Not in any way, shape, or form. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 07:40 1
        
        oh good. I'm going in a couple hours -- nm - mud May 6, 07:41
    - As I mentioned on B2, loved him after like 3 seconds. -- nm - Shaun May 6, 07:31 6
      - And one thing lost in this is - major spoils - Spawn May 6, 07:35 3
        
        Major spoils - Will Hunting May 6, 07:38
        
        Your IM brings up a question - as a non-comic reader (spoils, I guess) - Jim May 6, 07:38 1
        
        pretty much, yeah. -- nm - groiny May 6, 07:39
      - my only gripe about the whole spider man thing is spoilers - groiny May 6, 07:33 1
        
        Spoils - LMS May 6, 07:43
  - how can you already shit on him, when you have not seen the movie yet????? - groiny May 6, 07:16 7
    - Word. I'm starting to think that if you're this irritated before seeing the movie - Jim May 6, 07:42
    - I shit on his voice, that's about it. He sounds like he's 10 years old. - Krusty May 6, 07:23 4
      - Also small spoils -- (edited) - Shaun May 6, 07:27 1
        
        B2 did not quite get Spidey in Cap 3 minor temporal spoils - Spawn May 6, 10:05 (0) -- nm - Spawn May 6, 07:32
      - did any of the Spider Men sound like they were from NY? -- nm - groiny May 6, 07:27
      - Does Cap sound like he is from Brooklyn? -- nm - Spawn May 6, 07:25
    - spoils - Spawn May 6, 07:19
Waking up at 5am sucks. Waking up at 5am when you don't need to be up until 7:30 sucks even more. - sycor May 6, 06:55 7
- I got woken up by a baby around then. A happy, silly baby. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 06:58 6
  - :) -- nm - Diva May 6, 07:04
  - I would have rather had that happen. -- nm - sycor May 6, 07:02 3
    - Er, yes, sorry - I hadn't seen your IM. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 07:04 2
      - It's fine. It made me smile a little. The thought of it. -- nm - sycor May 6, 07:05 1
        
        He got off the bed, grabbed a tissue box, got back on the bed, and started emptying it out on my head. -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 07:07
  - (Actually, I guess he's a toddler now) -- nm - Beryllium May 6, 06:58
Happy Free Comic Book Day Eve everyone! -- nm - Beaker May 6, 06:53

We have 14 victims in the league. -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 06:42 5
- no Diva? no amanda? no ty? let's go people. -- nm - Andie May 6, 06:51 1
  - I can only play on my phone during the day now as my job has blocked HSX. Sucks too much to get involved with a new port. -- nm - Diva May 6, 07:34
- Rollo Tomassi - LOL! love it - also: can we apply for the $ 25k bonus in our new ports or is that cheating? - Pippy May 6, 06:47 2
  - All is fair. -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 06:55
  - all's fair -- nm - Beaker May 6, 06:47

- They also know that barring something significant (like a Trump Administration) the Foreign Affairs apparatus of the US will never allow for - Mel Profit May 6, 06:58 3
  - Refresh my memory...did the 20's and 30's go okay globally? -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 07:00 2
    - Not my point... -- (edited) - Mel Profit May 6, 07:04 1
      - Oh, I'm just snarking on the idea that our isolationism worked out boffo last time we did it. -- nm - Will Hunting May 6, 07:06
- I thought Putin likes Trump? -- nm - LMS May 6, 06:52 2
  - This is the reason why. -- nm - Roger More May 6, 06:53
  - The same way a carnie loves his mark, I guess. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 06:53
- It's not done yet but it definitely has them and many other countries worried. Hopefully they see Hillary winning and aren't all that nervous. -- (edited) - Krusty May 6, 06:45 30
  - Has Trump said that we're not going to honor our debt? -- nm - Strongbad May 6, 06:46 28
    - Oh, and he would also "borrow, knowing that if the economy crashed, you could make a deal." - znufrii May 6, 07:03
    - He wants to buy back low interest debt at discount rates once rates start to rise. -- (edited) - znufrii May 6, 06:47 26
      - Yup which is not honoring our debts. That's a huge deal and not something that can be allowed to happen. Even the discussion can't happen. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 06:49 25
        
        It's not the same as, say, Argentina under Kirchner - "we're not going to pay". But it's tough negotiating that would make it harder for the US to - Roger More May 6, 06:53 23
        
        That's my point. Countries that don't see a 100% return won't be interested in giving credit in the future and will lower our standing in the world. - Krusty May 6, 06:57 20
        
        I'm agreeing with you, but to SB's point this is still "honoring the debt" - Roger More May 6, 07:03 19
        
        I'd look at the idea of full faith and credit....if I bargain for a deal; that's not full faith/credit imo. - Will Hunting May 6, 07:09 6
        
        Circumstances change. If I take out a mortgage to buy a house, and then I lose my job and can't keep up payments, and renegotiate a new deal with the - Roger More May 6, 07:22 4
        
        The difference is your example; you can't pay. We can. - Will Hunting May 6, 07:25 2
        
        I get that 100%, as you can read from my other posts - I'm just saying that I understand where SB is coming from. -- nm - Roger More May 6, 07:32 1
        
        They updated the article since I originally posted it, and his other comments are much less benign, imho. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 07:37
        
        Illustration #368,743,997 how running country is not like running a household. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 07:24
        
        Exactly what I'm trying to get at. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 07:13
        
        then the next time you ask to borrow $100 from me my response is fuck that shit. -- nm - Bacon May 6, 07:09 1
        
        Which is probably what the bondholders will say too. They're right to expect payment of the full amount - like I said, it's supposed to be the safest - Roger More May 6, 07:10
        
        I guess I don't see it that way. We have a contract to pay in full and when we renegotiate we're not honoring that original deal. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 07:07 8
        
        It's just how it works in the financial markets -- (edited) - znufrii May 6, 07:10
        
        it's like bartering. No one would pay full price for a new car so they haggle it down -- nm - Beaker May 6, 07:08 6
        
        We're not a car dealership. We're the richest country on Earth, our money is the world's primary reserve currency. We don't barter our debts. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 07:12 4
        
        technically, isn't Qatar the world's richest country? - Andie May 6, 07:13 3
        
        On a per capita basis probably. But in total, the USA's assets would be hard to beat. -- nm - Roger More May 6, 07:24
        
        pretending to like Trump is hard work -- nm - Beaker May 6, 07:13
        
        You know what I meant. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 07:13
        
        you do that in the beginning - before you agree on the deal. once you've signed the deal for the car, you pay that full amount. -- nm* - Andie May 6, 07:11
        
        If it's voluntary, yes. - znufrii May 6, 07:05
        
        Not what you want to be doing with the bedrock financial instrument of the global economy, for sure. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 06:56 1
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Krusty May 6, 06:57
        
        It's not what you're claiming, exactly, but there are plenty of reasons it's not a good idea. -- nm - znufrii May 6, 06:51
  - basically, the entire world is concerned about it. - Andie May 6, 06:45
I'm up $1,000!!!!! Eureka. -- nm - volnelk May 6, 06:38 2

  - British Trump is the outgoing mayor. -- nm - ty97 May 6, 06:37
