    - I think it will take a while to get that Genie back in the bottle -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 14:22
  - Yeah, it's part of the platform and that's...weird. -- nm - spamlet Jul 19, 14:19
  - Steagall, and it's apparently part of the Republican party platform (at Trump's request according to Trump's campaign mgr) -- nm - Roger More Jul 19, 14:17
- I expect your IM to happen, but then as TWuG points out, legislators and foreign heads of state wouldn't be able to trust him, making him a bad choice -- nm - Max Jul 19, 14:04 1
  - I expect "cogent" and "Trump" are non-intersecting circles in the Venn Diagram of his campaign. -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 14:07
- "Dano, I have a certified check for $50M, and your name on it." would not phase you? -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 19, 13:59 2

- But if he did that, why would you believe him? -- nm - David Jul 19, 13:55 2
  - Exactly. Either he lied to GOP voters or he's lying to you. Either way, he's a liar. -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 13:56 1

- Gotta pardon them your last day in office, bruh -- nm - Dubya Jul 19, 14:20
- Honestly it strikes me as a foot fault. I don't really understand the purpose of the law to be honest. We're supposed to pretend that cabinet - pmb Jul 19, 13:56 3
  - I think it was meant more to prevent campaigning on the government dime. Why rent an office for campaign activities if you can call from your office - TWuG Jul 19, 14:01 2
    - Ok, but his violation was responding to an interview question. That's hardly the same thing. -- nm - pmb Jul 19, 14:18 1
      - Yes. I think there's merit in the law if not its scope. -- nm - TWuG Jul 19, 14:28

- The one kelly linked with the Disney titles was nice too. - JaxSean Jul 19, 13:21 8
  - re: your IM, I've stopped using him. Too many others on that site have consistently lower prices. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 13:49 6
    - Which site? -- nm - iSpam Jul 19, 13:55 3
      - It's a guy, not a site. - David Jul 19, 13:57 2
        
        Right, but I got his name initially from the blu-Ray.com forum. -- nm - kelly Jul 19, 14:29
        
        The Disney one she mentioned. I am on Raaj's list. - spamlet Jul 19, 14:22
    - interesting. I like the "reminder" email that there's new stuff, and it's been easy. - JaxSean Jul 19, 13:52
    - Right, he's *extremely* greedy. -- nm - David Jul 19, 13:52

Ailes leaves FOX...40 million dollar parachute alleged -- (link) - amoxy Jul 19, 13:19 14
- That seems low for a corporate head. -- nm - Max Jul 19, 14:43
- even if fired for just cause? wouldn't sexual predation of company employees be a contract breaker? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 19, 14:30
- fox apparently initially confirmed his leaving but subsequently walked back from it, and 21st century fox says he's still there and working. - b. Jul 19, 14:18
- Megyn Kelly was the last straw, maybe. -- nm - mara Jul 19, 13:22
- So much for the whole "not disrupting the RNC" thing. -- nm - David Jul 19, 13:19 9
  - not the RNC. WE are the RNC -- nm - Newf cops Jul 19, 13:21
  - Conspiracy theorist in me says FOX coordinated with RNC to take heat off convention -- nm - amoxy Jul 19, 13:20 7
    - I don't think most people care about this at all. -- nm - b. Jul 19, 13:23 2
      - you would be right however...news companies covering news companies is a thing. -- nm - Remlik Jul 19, 13:25 1
        
        heh, see my comment below. -- nm - b. Jul 19, 13:25
    - if anything, other away around. Have Ailes leave during the circus -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 13:22 3
      - (but I honestly don't think most Fox News viewers know/care who Ailes is) -- nm - ty97 Jul 19, 13:23 2
        
        I disagree with this. I think he's a folk hero who has beaten the liberal media at their own game. -- nm - David Jul 19, 13:48
        
        yah, it's more about his impact on the women involved; so a moment of "good riddance then" and on most everyone goes. - b. Jul 19, 13:25

- There's a pokestop about 101 feet from my desk. It kills me all day long it's not within reach. - JaxSean Jul 19, 13:17 5
  - ditto. I have one across the street. It's not 100 Ft total. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 19, 13:35

  - yeah, my son warned me of that. you basically have to start using great and ultraballs and raspberries all the time once you get into the teens - oblique Jul 19, 13:16 1
    - It seems to depend on the CP. I still use regular pokeballs on the pidgeys, rattats, etc that are under 150 - ty97 Jul 19, 13:18
- I generally find if I use the game for 5-10 minutes and it's working fine, it *normally* keeps working fine - ty97 Jul 19, 13:14 4
  - last night I kept getting a lot of times where I couldn't rotate the screen or click stuff mostly after walking with it in the battery saver - oblique Jul 19, 13:15 3
    - Same for me. I thought it was phone. -- nm - Krusty Jul 19, 14:39
    - I've had that happening, too. -- nm - b. Jul 19, 13:18
    - I had to turn it off in Savannah to just stay on all the time. Sucked the life out of my battery. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 19, 13:17
Mel, from B2 (spoilers) - amoxy Jul 19, 13:09 1

- also - the entire Brendan confession is available online. I haven't watched it (it's long, in two parts), but - Andie Jul 19, 13:12 [youtube]
- even with some unshown details - the police f-cked up the investigation so badly the case needs to be thrown out - Epiphany Jul 19, 13:12 1
  - oh, the police made huge mistakes. -- nm - Andie Jul 19, 13:12
Hey ty97, I read if you Transfer all your Pokemon to the professor and wait 24 hours you will receive a legendary pokemon in your inventory -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 13:03 7
- I went ahead and paid $5 for pokecoins to buy aun upgraded pack. I'm still deleting potions to stay under 400. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 19, 13:13 3
  - Are you doing gym fights? You don't need potions and revives unless you are -- nm - oblique Jul 19, 13:13 2
    - No, only once. I'm getting rid of the regular potions and keeping the super and revives, though. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 19, 13:19 1
