I hate the teeny tiny kitchen area, but really like the rest of the house. -- (link) - kelly Jul 19, 12:49 11
- it's kind of a "galley" kitchen ... wonder if that wall on the other side with the book cases is a load bearing wall or could you do a cut out? - JenBro Jul 19, 12:57
- That is a nice place -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 12:55
- Love it - that wainscoating is coming back in a big way. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:54
- yup cute, but you would have to knock out a wall or something and completely redo that kitchen -- nm - decline Jul 19, 12:52
- bedrooms and kitchen seem small and dark. no pool. unsexy house number. *very* nice living space. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 19, 12:50

    - mine is a narrow hallway. okay, I will take some pics tonight. like, if I gain ten pounds I ahve to move. - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 19, 12:55
  - I would post a photo of my kitchen for you all to mock, but it's too small to maneuver around to photo. - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 19, 12:52
  - for me personally, that's a small kitchen. :) -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 12:51 1
    - oh, it's not huge. - Andie Jul 19, 12:51
It wasn't until I saw the "Community" episode that I realized how different D&D is from what i expected. -- nm - MDH Jul 19, 12:45 4
- well, it kind of over simplified it a bit. -- nm - groiny Jul 19, 12:48 3
  - Nah, Pierce figured it out. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 12:48 2
    - I am not acknowledging you. -- nm - groiny Jul 19, 12:52 1

This site claims that the Evee naming trick works on any type of pokemon -- (link) - ty97 Jul 19, 12:43 25
- just tried it on a Pidgey and it didn't work. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 13:00
- Last info I got was works one time each on eevee only - worked for me for Vaporeon and Flarion -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:59

  - the bellsprout keeps getting named Flashlight -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:59 1
    - *fleshlight -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 13:00
  - OMG, you should see the names Logan comes up with. Anymore, he lets Amy do the work of catching etc and he is just in charge of renaming them. -- nm - Spawn Jul 19, 12:49 1
    - 'batman sucks' 'superman is awesome' 'robin is a wussy' -- nm - decline Jul 19, 12:51
  - click the pen/pencil next to their name. You can rename your Eevee to force a particular evolution - oblique Jul 19, 12:48 3
    - Do I care which evee evolutions I want? -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 12:49 2
      - Vaporeon is best. After that, no -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:50 1
        
        Jolteon is nasty since lightning works so well on most @77 caught if it matters -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 13:00
- I just tested this with a shit CP weedle. It does not work -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:46 10
  - weedle is high -- (link) - budice Jul 19, 12:52
  - btw, should have looked first. It's a satirical website -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:48 8
    - Ya, if you look in app at the evolutions for each it's shows three for eevee - J Jul 19, 12:51 4
      - It's playing on the fact that you can rename Eevee's to those names to force a specific evolution - oblique Jul 19, 12:55 3
        
        No, I know that. I was just going an explanation why it's only eevee -- nm - J Jul 19, 12:56 2
        
        I'm going to name all my Pokemon ty97sucks now -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:57 1
        
        especially Bellsprout -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 13:06
    - ah, sorry, I perused very quickly -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 12:48 2

- ha. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 12:44
- LOL -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:43

I Am Setsuna is out on Steam and PS4 today. I want it, but don't want to play it on Steam. Gotta wait to reclaim a PS4, likely in October. -- nm - Qale Jul 19, 12:37
So close to Level 16. So low on Pokeballs and Great Balls -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 12:35 3

PokemonGo: Evolver -- (link) - oblique Jul 19, 12:34 5
- from bb, I think Mel is right about selectivity - I've actually stopped trying to catch everything. - b. Jul 19, 12:58 1
  - I've had what you mentioned in the 2nd and last paragraphs happen a lot. - Mel Profit Jul 19, 13:05
- this the one about naming eevees? -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:39 2
  - No, it's a website showing you what your expected CP is when you evolve a pokemon of a certain CP -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 12:41 1
    - nice - saving that - cant open it from work -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:42
pmb - the fact that the lines were in sequence suggest to me that it was deliberate. - Mel Profit Jul 19, 12:33 4
- when you do research you watch previous speeches and michelles was one of the best so memory could have been recent -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 13:29
- I see it less as "deliberate" (intentionally inserted for a specific reason) and more lazy. - TWuG Jul 19, 12:51
- I think it's not that hard for the idea to have stuck. It doesn't make it any less plagiarism, I'm just giving the benefit of not being that stupid - pmb Jul 19, 12:41

This seems big: Bill O'Reilly, Greta Van Susteren and Sean Hannity have clauses in their Fox contracts - and can leave if Ailes does -- (link) - ty97 Jul 19, 12:32 19
- And do what exactly? -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:33 18
  - O'Reilly and Hannity both have syndicated radio. Not sure about Susteren. -- nm - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 12:38 13
    - That's great for money but not for celebrity. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:39 12
      - Eh. Those two are at the point where they're self-sustaining. I forgot that both have substantial book sales/exposure as well. -- nm* - ÜMLaut Jul 19, 12:41 11
        
        There's just no upside for them to leave Fox News. It takes away too much of their audience. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:45 10
        
        This was 2014, but Hannity had 13 million radio listeners. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 19, 12:51 7
        
        So? It's TV that's power. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:52 6
        
        At maybe 1/20th of the audience? Unlikely. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 12:54 5
        
        You're bad at this. Stop being bad at this. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:55 4
        
        You argued it would take away too much of the audience even though their radio audience is a double digit multiple of TV. - spamlet Jul 19, 12:58 3
        
        Literally the first thing I mentioned was the radio money. Do you even know what you're arguing? -- nm - David Jul 19, 13:05 2
        
        That they won't lose that much sway by being off tv. -- (edited) - iSpam Jul 19, 13:14 1
        
        O'Reilly makes $15 million a year plus incentives on tv. - David Jul 19, 13:18
        
        they'd certainly make news if CNN signed them. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 12:49 1
        
        And CNN would lose the middle. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:50
  - heh -- nm - mud Jul 19, 12:35
  - Not saying they would go. What I find big is twofold: 1) they tied themselves to him so strenuously. - ty97 Jul 19, 12:35 1
    - They settled harassment claims previously. They had secrecy clauses that could be waived by Fox, which the Murdoch brothers did so the women would - jnine Jul 19, 13:59
  - open a taco stand -- nm - decline Jul 19, 12:34
RNC official cites "My Little Pony" in his defense of Melania Trump -- (link) - budice Jul 19, 12:25 4
- fuck off with this RNC bullshit!! -- nm - Newf cops Jul 19, 13:00
- Still no mention of the Rickroll. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 12:29 2
  - It is mentioned way down in that CNN article. -- nm - jnine Jul 19, 14:08
  - It feels like a generational joke. We in the mid 30s to upper 40s get it...those older than us probably don't get it and those younger may get it. - Mel Profit Jul 19, 13:06
Robert Kirkman To Bring Roger Zelazny’s Chronicles Of Amber To TV -- (link) - Remlik Jul 19, 12:23 6
- crosses fingers he doesn't screw it up -- nm - decline Jul 19, 12:25
- Man, if we were talking about a competent showrunner, that would be *fantastic* news. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:24 4
  - Troll gonna troll! -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 12:25 2
    - I would call him a hack rather than a troll, the recent TWD season finale notwithstanding. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:32 1
      - aw...did you call Kim for that one? cause that's clever. - Remlik Jul 19, 12:35
  - yeah, it is a shame nothing he has ever done has amounted to anything. -- nm - groiny Jul 19, 12:25
Severe thunderstorm watch! - spamlet Jul 19, 12:22 2
- In your area, this means that storms won't be that bad. - ty97 Jul 19, 12:23 1
  - When it's this soup-y, it was really only a matter of time. It's tropical like today. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 12:26
Did Matt Lauer have a hint, did he deliberately ask her about prep for the speech? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 12:21
that house mara linked is *so* me. that beck deck was made for beer. -- nm - unbreakable mandy jones Jul 19, 12:19 1
- It's even named after one! - spamlet Jul 19, 12:20
...tornadoes? -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 12:19 10
- stay far away from the trailer parks. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 12:29
- They can happen anywhere, but you'll be WAY outside tornado alley -- (link) - ty97 Jul 19, 12:29 1
  - are houses even cheaper in Tornado alley? -- nm* - decline Jul 19, 12:31
- You learn to live with it - I promise -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:27
- Not often, no. - Dark Callisto Jul 19, 12:27 3
  - Hmm. I wonder if it depends on the area - I seem to be finding a good number of houses with basements (mostly finished) and garages. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 12:29 1
    - It makes sense since you seem to be prioritizing much older dwellings. Basements fell out of favor about 25 years ago. -- nm - David Jul 19, 12:46
  - no basements, no gas stoves...smh -- nm - decline Jul 19, 12:28
- chawl, I know. but rest assured there's extreme weather and chance-taking all over this country. -- nm - Diva Jul 19, 12:20
- I mean, not like every day but... -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 12:20
Doughnut holes are way more accurate to the word "doughnut" than doughnuts are -- nm - Deep Thoughts Jul 19, 12:18

Just in case anyone say some but not all the posts.... it was NOT a heart attack - Capstern Jul 19, 12:17 23
- glad u r ok -- nm - Beaker Jul 19, 13:03
- I had no idea until SM saw it on FB - take care of yourself. What did you say to me? We are older and we now handle stress differently - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:27 5
  - What I really need to do is just find something I can that isnt a person or animal - Capstern Jul 19, 12:31 4
    - so lets discuss - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:41 3
      - well - Capstern Jul 19, 12:44 2
        
        we can happy hour it up yes -- nm - Epiphany Jul 19, 12:52 1

      - nice - the lobotomies start about 13/14 apparently and get better starting about 22 -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:31
- by the 19 year old, you mean step daughter and not new girlfriend? -- nm - groiny Jul 19, 12:21 6
  - and at times I think a 19 yo GF would be way less stressful than step-kids -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:23 2
    - clearly you forgot what having a 19 year old girlfriend was like. -- nm - groiny Jul 19, 12:24 1
      - probably- I am getting old and shit is pretty hazy to those days. At least this wife has a common point of reference :) -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:25
  - yeah I have seemed to move past that wife just turned 42 sat - Capstern Jul 19, 12:23 2
    - well, glad you got a tune up and everything checked out ok. - groiny Jul 19, 12:23 1
      - thanks -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:34
- I didn't see any of the posts, but I'm glad to hear you're okay. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 19, 12:21 3
  - apparently a life mostly free of booze, caffiene, tobacco and drugs makes for a god heart even at 45 -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:24 2
    - No need to brag. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Jul 19, 12:28 1
      - well I am big guy was happy that apparently your body can handle one risk factor ok :) -- nm - Capstern Jul 19, 12:34

I have the sudden urge to go punch out several sheets of die cut, hexagonal, cardboard counters. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 19, 12:16 2
- always punch a couch or chair. solid objects can hurt and when you calm down, you will not have a $2500 emergency room bill. -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 19, 12:25
