    - I liked this place in Madrid. Also, you should go to the Mercado de San Miguel behind the Plaza Mayor - it's a market that transforms itself into a - Roger More Aug 12, 14:03 2
      - Oh... but this was my favourite place to eat. It's in the La Latina district, which is a terndy restaurant-y area that is... well, it's a bit touristy - Roger More Aug 12, 14:15
      - Oooh thanks! -- nm - MDH Aug 12, 14:14
  - Also, indignation? The RNC was two weeks ago, but I suppose Trump is continuing to deliver fresh material on a daily basis. -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 13:58

friday hax chat q: is four weeks too short notice for a long-distance wedding invitation? - gerald Aug 12, 13:29 33
- With a long distance wedding, some people are invited just to feel included, with no real expectation they will attend. Get over it. -- nm - jnine Aug 12, 13:45 2
  - I've noticed for some people, invitation = expectation, and they don't understand when the inviter doesn't think it's the same thing. -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 13:48 1
    - yep, if they expected you to come, they'd have told you about it sooner. What they're expecting is a card and cash. -- nm - Jim Aug 12, 13:50
- Today I Learned: 4 weeks is considered short notice for a trip -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 13:40 19
  - in all fairness, it actually is for some people based on whether they have children, what their employment sitch is like, whether they are used - Diewa Aug 12, 13:43 17
    - We should sub-poll this: Do you have plans the week of September 9th to 16? - Andie Aug 12, 13:45 16
      - yes! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 12, 15:04

      - Disney! -- nm - David Aug 12, 14:20
      - Not the whole week, but yes. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 13:59
      - Nope, but I have plans the following week -- nm - CQ Aug 12, 13:57
      - ayup -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 13:56
      - I don't have plans, but as an infrequent traveler, I don't have frequent flier miles so I need be sure I can afford it. -- nm - mara Aug 12, 13:50
      - Nope. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:50
      - Effing audit still. -- nm - spamlet Aug 12, 13:50

        And just this week I made flight reservations for Christmas. -- nm - Meg Aug 12, 13:51
      - Yes, I'll be in Seattle. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 13:48 1
        
        (Which reminds me that I should book some lodgings) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 13:48
      - No, but already taking planned trips in Oct+Nov and cannot take more time off work for your wedding as well. Sorry, can't come. -- nm* - Diewa Aug 12, 13:47
      - Yes - work travel + TIFF + wedding anniversary. Sorry! -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 13:47
  - it's too short notice to expect other people to do so at your request, yes. You can invite them, of course. - Andie Aug 12, 13:41
- I can see why they did this to you. You're are the lamest, no fun, horrible dancer, drag there is. - CQ Aug 12, 13:36
- You were B list. Just send regrets and don't stress. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:30 5
  - This. She was invited when others responded they weren't able to attend. -- nm - jnine Aug 12, 13:43
  - Is that the real crux of the rant? -- nm - iSpam Aug 12, 13:37 2
    - the crux is the lw is miffed they were on the b list and wants 2 be able to express this to the couple somehow and still be considered gracious. Nope. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:39 1
      - She just can't understand "why" Whyyyyyyyy. seriously, you want that chick at your wedding? nope -- nm - CQ Aug 12, 13:49
  - this. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:31
- ... is that even worth responding to? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 13:30
- Just say 'I can't make it.' Jeebus. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:29 1
  - exactly. it's possible other people received theirs earlier; but, in any case, that couple just has to know it's short notice and that many - b. Aug 12, 13:32
holy crap. Brendan Dassey's (Making a Murderer) conviction just overturned -- (link) - gerald Aug 12, 13:23 34
- I wonder if this is at all relevant to the timing of Zellner's (expected) mic drop in two weeks. nm - Dignan Aug 12, 14:15
- Crap. Now we got to get this guy convicted again. Somebody start gathering "evidence". -- nm - Manitowoc police Aug 12, 13:49
- I think this is a good thing...I think. (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 12, 13:31
- I have to watch this show. Didn't pay attention closely, but got the sense it was a "bad conviction, but likely the right guy" scenario. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 12, 13:28 22
  - With respect to Brendan, it's not the right guy. With respect to Avery, it's very questionable if it's the right guy. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 13:44
  - I see that thinking as more likely for Steven Avery. Brendan Dassey seemed like a kid who was bullied and manipulated into confessing... - Inigo Aug 12, 13:31
  - Not sure they got the right guy(s) at all. You need to see it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:29 18
    - i'm not sure Steve is innocent, but it didn't happen the way they said it did. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:31 17
      - I will admit that there's a chance Steve killed her but the evidence just isn't there. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:38 8
        
        there's more than was there in the show though.. again, i'm not saying he DID do it, but i am not saying he didn't either. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:39 7
        
        The "big" piece of evidence excluded from the show was Avery DNA found on Halbach's RAV4. - Dignan Aug 12, 14:04
        
        I listened to the Real Crime podcast that went more in depth with the case so I'm not just basing this on the doc. - Krusty Aug 12, 13:43
        
        but if he did, it almost certainly didn't happen the way the state contended it did at trial -- nm - gerald Aug 12, 13:42 4
        
        One of the things that was always suspect about this though, was that Avery was not tried on the same theory of the case that Dassey was. They did - pmb Aug 12, 13:53 2
        
        Is that legal? I assume it is and from what I know of the Law from LnO. -- nm - Mel Profit Aug 12, 14:04 1
        
        They were tried separately with different juries. It is legal. It's sleazy, but legal. However, I wonder if Brendan Dassey's confession was used as - pmb Aug 12, 14:10
        
        oh, it did not happen in that garage. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 13:43
      - as one of his lawyers said..."I almost hope he's guilty" (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 12, 13:37 1
        
        So word to this. That line was perfect. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:45
      - I believe it's come out since that Steve was very stalkery with the victim. - Inigo Aug 12, 13:35 4
        
        right, there is definitely stuff they glossed over in the doc. - Andie Aug 12, 13:37 3
        
        They also really glossed over other potential theories and perpetrators though (presumably to avoid lawsuits). But Bobby Dassey could have a lot of - pmb Aug 12, 14:02 2
        
        so much unanswered. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 14:15 1
        
        Yeah. Hopefully more keeps coming out and we eventually get the truth. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 12, 14:17
      - this is my take as well. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:35
  - i don't think you can say even that much from the evidence, compared to the state's theory of the case -- nm - gerald Aug 12, 13:29
- That makes me happy. Watching him get convicted broke my heart. -- nm - Inigo Aug 12, 13:26 3
  - it scares me that he had absolutely no one looking out for him (spoilers) - Mel Profit Aug 12, 13:34
  - Very much so. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:30
  - it was so awful. -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:27
- Wowsers! - Krusty Aug 12, 13:25
- wow! -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:24
- Wow! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 13:24

- I think I need to try these and those Oreos. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:44
- this would go great with Swedish Fish Oreos -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 13:23 1
  - (into the garbage, obviously) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 13:23
It must be killing ty that he hasn't met me but Krusty and Dawson have. -- nm - Tim Aug 12, 13:21 1

Last chance to get into the ST EPL Challenge. You don't even have to watch the boring sport to play. Really, it's okay - CQ Aug 12, 13:13 1

The person that touches first doesn't matter in fencing. I'm out. - Krusty Aug 12, 13:04 11
- It's not just the touch but the location on the opponent's body that matters. Epee is the only fencing style where ... - ReluctantCynic Aug 12, 13:16 8
  - Yeah, I don't get it. I know the difference between the weapons but the fact that I got you first should be what matters in fencing. At least to me. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 12, 13:21 7
    - Think of it as being training for swordfighting. You don't win a swordfight by winning first touch -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 13:35 2
      - If I stab you first I win, usually. At least, that's what I imagine. I'm not gonna go swordfight with someone to find out. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:51 1
        
        Sure, but a stab in a meaningful part of the body, and it has to be a proper stab, not a graze. -- nm - Roger More Aug 12, 13:57
    - It's odd because fencing rules are rooted in medieval times. :-) :-) - ReluctantCynic Aug 12, 13:28 1
      - I'll check it out. Thanks! I've enjoyed watching it but when I saw one light go on well before the other and that guy lost the point - Krusty Aug 12, 13:32
    - I understand location matters and that's fine but the right of way thing doesn't make sense to me. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:22 1
      - "Right of Way" has its origins in the honor code of fencing from way back in the day. - ReluctantCynic Aug 12, 13:37
- did he/she who touched first touch the lame? -- nm - Diewa Aug 12, 13:08 1
  - nope. he touched the butt. -- nm - Nemo Aug 12, 13:09
I was being sarcastic but honestly I wasn't being sarcastic. - Spawndroid Aug 12, 13:03 2
