- but isn't it a Federal law that is gumming up the works? -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 09:38 4
  - I think they can operate intra-state, which given California's size might be viable - Will Hunting Aug 18, 09:47

RT: Ben Hur 33% (10/20) - budice Aug 18, 09:31 4
- With some of these I wonder if the ratings are because the movie is actually bad...or because they don't measure up to the originals. -- nm - Jim Aug 18, 09:32 3
  - this... -- (link) - budice Aug 18, 09:34 [Backboard]
  - From the trailers, and their dialogue, I'm leaning toward it being a valid but maybe slightly harsh rating. - Beryllium Aug 18, 09:34

Not really going out on a limb here, but I'm guessing that the final Hip concert on CBC Saturday night will break CDN TV records for viewers. -- nm - Shaun Aug 18, 09:23 2
- agreed -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 09:29
- I would think it would, but the nature of all these viewing parties... Could it actually affect total households? -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 18, 09:26
OMG, that Vendor Items addition to the Destiny Item manager is awesome. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 09:23 2

How is Bella Hadid only 19 years old? Woman looks like she's approaching 30, however glamorously. -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 18, 09:12 2
- Thought you'd be more worried bout Bella Thorne -- nm - budice Aug 18, 09:15 1
  - Her too. All of them. -- nm - Hotkiss Aug 18, 09:16

  - Who'd you beat? [Nevermind. It was oblique. Any Astro know what kilbo scored in the loss? It's the last piece of data I need.] -- nm* - Name Withheld by Request Aug 18, 09:12
- By the by, it looks like I get the #1 pick by virtue of a championship with 1552.5pts in the regular season and 162.45 in the championship. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 18, 08:52 4
  - 166.15 in Championship. 1475.3 total points -- nm* - Beaker Aug 18, 09:09 3
    - Whoa. (And good. I didn't want the #1 pick being organizor.) Check the ladder. It should say what Inigo had too. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 18, 09:11 2
      - Inigo 1381.55 total points 136.75 in the finals loss to moi -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 09:13 1

How long until we find out Lochte was actually the robber? -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 08:41 11
- He's currently writing things about himself...on himself. - Mel Profit Aug 18, 10:06 1
  - omg -- nm - Diva Aug 18, 10:10
- He robbed himself and still does not realize it. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 08:51 2

Ok so - it wasn't as tough as we thought it would be - but we moved young James into his residence hall yesterday. - Jim Aug 18, 08:25 23
- What the.....? You have college student?! -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 08:54 3
  - Indeed we do. We'll have 2 of them this time next year. -- nm - Jim Aug 18, 09:05 2
    - your bank account will be just as sad as you are -- nm - Epiphany Aug 18, 09:06 1
      - Already is! Although - we're getting out of first year with very little damage...so that's cool. - Jim Aug 18, 09:25
- I saw that and felt so much empathy for you. -- nm - David Aug 18, 08:29 14
  - Here's what's so dumb about it - he's only 22 miles from our house. He's a mile from my office...and yet, that doesn't matter. - Jim Aug 18, 08:35 13
    - *nods* big hugs! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 18, 09:03
    - This stuff amazes me. When I went to school I was *done* living at home. - Spawn Aug 18, 08:41 11
      - Well, he has to live on campus for year 1 and the residence halls close at the end of the school year. So, he can't exactly go get a place... - Jim Aug 18, 08:46 10
        
        You never know how things might go. At least in my case, it was a hard battle for my parents at the time but I ended up moving back home after frosh - Hotkiss Aug 18, 09:11
        
        Wait, there are still universities that require that? I thought they did away with that back in the 70s? - Spawn Aug 18, 08:48 8
        
        Both my kids schools required it for one year (I think my younger daughter was required for 2 years). Both lived on campus for 2 years. Some of the - pmb Aug 18, 08:52
        
        I know that UT and Carson-Newman still require it. -- nm - David Aug 18, 08:51
        
        Not many, but SLU is in a unique situation, I think. They're smack in the middle of St. Louis city. - Jim Aug 18, 08:51
        
        Some campuses are starting it again. It does seem a little outdated. -- nm - sycor Aug 18, 08:50 4
        
        Schools are without question more restrictive on students now than when I went to school. -- nm - pmb Aug 18, 08:53 3
        
        Good way for a university to make more $, I guess. - Spawn Aug 18, 08:54 2
        
        Living on campus as a freshman I really think is a good idea. As a sophomore it's more of a convenience thing. My younger daughter had a great setup - pmb Aug 18, 09:03 1
        
        She should have put the 2nd bedroom on Air bnb. Spending money! -- nm - jnine Aug 18, 12:07
- It's tough. I know. The worst was sending off my youngest (so no kids at home). You miss them a lot, but it's also sort of liberating. It's an - pmb Aug 18, 08:27 3
  - Yeah - we have a short turnaround - Cam just started his senior year...so we'll be right back at this again next year. -- nm - Jim Aug 18, 08:35
  - i.e. pmb stopped wearing pants at home. -- nm - spamlet Aug 18, 08:33 1
    - Ok...now I do look forward to that! -- nm* - Jim Aug 18, 08:41
This evening, I passed a sign advertising "Thai Secret Massage" with an arrow pointing up an ominous stairwell. - ty97 Aug 18, 08:22 15
- At least they hide better than in KL. The first time I went they had an open area in one of the expat/tourist districts. - spamlet Aug 18, 08:43 2
  - Let me tell you about Dubai... -- nm - Reagen Aug 18, 09:23
  - This was a block from the city central office towers. - ty97 Aug 18, 08:53
- I think you should investigate -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 08:24 11
  - Spitting is illegal here. I think I'll stick to sitting innocently in my hotel room. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 08:39 9

        blah blah blah responsibility -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 08:59 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        get on that! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 18, 09:06
    - spitting is the secret? Yeah I wouldn't go up there either. -- nm - Max Aug 18, 08:40 1
      - They don't sell gum here. -- nm - ty97 Aug 18, 08:51
  - So much good could come of this. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 08:32
What NMS is and what it isn't, at least not as of now. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 18, 08:16 [Image] 18
- It's Star Trek without the crew of the Enterprise. - David Aug 18, 08:22 17
  - ... if Star Trek was about landing and mining and selling stuff? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 08:25 16
    - It actually is. They just tear through that stuff in throwaway dialogue. -- nm - David Aug 18, 08:28 15
      - So, it's Star Trek without the Enterprise. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 08:30 12
        
        There's still a ship. It's just oddly lacking in storage space. - David Aug 18, 08:38 10
        
        That why you upgrade your ship. -- nm - Shaun Aug 18, 08:40 9
        
        Oh, I have. Breaking that economy is childishly simple. -- nm - David Aug 18, 08:49 8
        
        Just like the Kobayashi Maru! -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 08:55 7
        
        So far, there's nothing as interesting as the Kobayashi Maru. It's basically an exercise in standing in places and firing a laser. -- nm - David Aug 18, 08:58 6
        
        David, I have yet to hear a single factor that sounds even *remotely* like Star Trek. - Spawn Aug 18, 09:02 5
        
        Rise of Iron will be keeping you plenty busy anyway. -- nm - groiny Aug 18, 09:16
        
        Oh, I don't think you should want this game. -- nm - David Aug 18, 09:11
        
        Pissing off the sentinels badly enough can lead to this. -- (link) - Shaun Aug 18, 09:04 [youtube] 2
        
        This is the first time the game has looked *good*. -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 09:35 1
        
        Stop drinking DLC Kool-aid for once. -- nm - Shaun Aug 18, 09:40
        
        yeah it's another ship that does the grunt work -- nm - Remlik Aug 18, 08:32
      - Captain we need more Dilitium Crystals! -- nm - Beaker Aug 18, 08:30 1
        
        What color shirts to the ship's miners wear? -- nm - Spawn Aug 18, 08:31
