  - I'm pretty sure they're grooming Torres for TK's job in a couple of years. -- nm - David Jul 28, 15:57 1
    - Yep. The moment Torres arrived and started doing this, the Sports Reporters and subbing for Reali on ATH the grooming seemed apparent. - Diva Jul 28, 16:01

We're at a restaurant and Fox news just showed Bernie "protesters" at the DNC burning an American flag. Is that accurate? - JaxSean Jul 28, 15:14 9

- Feel the Bern, Flag! -- nm - BAcon Jul 28, 16:04
- I think it was one dude with an american flag; and then there was an israeli flag burned as some twisted sign of support, too. -- nm - b. Jul 28, 15:18 4
  - I couldn't hear it, but just watching it, it looked like it was "earlier today." -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 16:32 1
    - ah, googling says last night a protestor's dress caught on fire as she was trying to stomp out - b. Jul 28, 16:41

"The Sleeping Hydra". I should sell that one to Marvel. -- nm - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 15:10
Check me on this....there was no Guardians of the Galaxy trailer that debuted at Comic Con last week, right? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 28, 15:03 5
- technically correct. They did show footage. But it's not going to be released as it's not completed effects wise -- nm - Remlik Jul 28, 15:07 4
  - I would at least call it a teaser as it was even set to music. - Spawn Jul 28, 16:53
  - Thanks. You're a good guy, no matter what David says about you -- nm - prayformojo Jul 28, 15:20 2
    - I stand behind every word. -- nm - David Jul 28, 16:13

Any west coast people interested in an invite to imzy? I have a few available. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 15:02 15
- What is this? Just another reddit? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 15:11 7
  - Basically. Former reddit employees started it. I like the layout and once there's more content it could be pretty good. - Krusty Jul 28, 15:16 6
    - Hmm...from what I read on their site, I thought it was giving users the ability to create their own communities and not necessarily a large, encompass - JD Jul 28, 15:22 1
      - You're correct. I'm still learning about it and how it works. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 15:23
    - hmm, I only looked a little so far; but I don't like the layout. hppefully it'll be tweaked and we'll both be ok with it. -- nm - b. Jul 28, 15:19
    - As long as you all stay here, I'm good. :) -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 15:18 2
      - I love it here and love everyone that is a part of our little community. - Krusty Jul 28, 15:23
      - I've considered trying to turn here into the next reddit, but it would be a tough slog. -- nm - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 15:19
- oh, I should have some, too, if there's a need. -- nm - b. Jul 28, 15:03 6
  - Come one, come all. Sign up and get us a t-shirt. 👍 -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 15:07 5
    - Google+ flamed out, how do we break through where they failed. Give out a t-shirt!! -- nm - BAcon Jul 28, 15:09 4
      - I so wish it had become more popular - it has so much clearer privacy choices/protection than fb. -- nm - b. Jul 28, 15:15 2
        
        When they tried to force everyone to use it they lost a lot people. I get what they want in having everything linked and for the most part - Krusty Jul 28, 15:19 1
        
        oh yah, I found the tie-ins obnoxious, too; but at least those could be addressed. -- nm - b. Jul 28, 15:21
      - Free shit works. I signed up because I'm interested. I'm on reddit every day and it's a rather good site. - Krusty Jul 28, 15:13

Germans find superbug killing bacteria in the nose (love the image with the story, that guy has a schnoz that could be weaponized) -- (link) - zeitgeist Jul 28, 14:32 2

Ender/Krusty: Did that fix it? -- nm - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:24 8
- fyi, how posts look once clicked changed in both chrome and ie for me - now larger by quite a bit. -- nm - b. Jul 28, 14:32 5
  - Yep, the font size and thickness of each letter will have increased. You could try installing the Roboto font from Google, that might help. -- (link) - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:36 4
    - That's the font I use on mobile. Nice font. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:40 2
      - I'm liking it. I might pull it in as a webfont so everyone sees it the same way. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 28, 14:42 1
        
        Not a bad idea. It's easy to read, good spacing and looks good on the desktop and mobile. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:56
    - ok, thanks! -- nm - b. Jul 28, 14:40
- Yup. Looks good. Thank you very much! - Krusty Jul 28, 14:28

  - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:29
- [deleted]
- They let you in the FB group but aren't letting you join them for the movie? That's crap. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:15 5
  - I'm not offended in any way, heh. -- nm - CQ Jul 28, 14:16 4
    - I'd be a little annoyed. But as long as you're cool with it is what matters. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:19 3

nmb Bery... - Krusty Jul 28, 14:11 10
- And thank you very much for trying to help me with this. I greatly appreciate it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:14 9
  - If the other users will bear with me for a little while, I would like to try changing the font settings of the post bodies. - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:15 8
    - Thanks. For me it's the color that's the issue, not the size. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:16 7
      - Everything that's not the subject is affected, fwiw. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:17 6
        
        I think it's because of the font weight being 100 instead of 400; it's not actually grey, it's just so thin that it seems grey. - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:22 5
        
        Ahh. Makes sense. Thanks. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:29
        
        It made it bigger on Chrome on the desktop as well, FYI. -- nm - spamlet Jul 28, 14:28 1
        
        whoops, missed this and Bery's post before posting above. -- nm* - b. Jul 28, 14:33
        
        This looks "normal" to me. -- nm - Ender Jul 28, 14:25
        
        Anyway, the change is live now. A hard refresh should kick the browser into using the thicker and more lush font. -- nm - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:23
The text inside the post is definitely showing up light grey for me on Android Chrome now as well. Didn't last night. -- nm - Ender Jul 28, 14:09 5
- Right. It was fine last night and now it's too light to read. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:12
- Dammit. Does android chrome have a Developer Tools mode? -- nm - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:12 1
  - Not that I've seen. It's rather stripped down especially compared to the desktop version. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 14:13
- It's spreading! -- nm - iSpam Jul 28, 14:09 1
  - Why hasn't the CDC halted post donations yet?! -- nm - Ender Jul 28, 14:10
My next project should be hooking Namr up to a book cover page generator. -- nm - The Beryllium Codex Jul 28, 14:05 1

mara, that book page you linked to the other day has been removed from amazon. nm but: -- (link) - b. Jul 28, 14:05 6
- Hmm, thanks. I might see if it's still listed in the library vender database. -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:09 5
  - Yup, it is. Thousands of copies on hand, 447 prepub orders. -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:13 4
    - other vendors still have it, and I think this shows it's actually on hold by two people at this library. so interesting. heh. -- (link) - b. Jul 28, 14:27 3
      - Thanks for mentioning it again! I want to check again on the 2nd. -- nm - mara Jul 28, 14:30 2
        
        earlier, I set a reminder to check myself. :) --- nm - b. Jul 28, 14:59 1
