SuperFeuders on the board, please weigh in with preference. Should we hold SF until Thursday to save David and Kim picking two of the teams? - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:39 10
- So SF, we are *not* adding players via Yahoo? -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 07:44 2
  - After the first round. I need to populate one player since it's a start from scratch league. After that, yes please, though I'll try to help. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:45 1
    - my first pick has my yahoo email for the invite -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 07:46

- I already picked. Just go with it. -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:41 2
  - Okay, we'll proceed. If you get tired of picks, let me know and we'll find another proxy. With the long weekend, I think we want this done by Friday. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:42 1
    - Yeah, I'll let you know if I need ML or somebody else to pick for a bit. -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:43
- Whatever makes David and Kim's lives easier, sure. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 07:41
- I'm offline Friday to Sunday afternoon -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 07:40 1
  - In other words, ideally we're almost done by then. (And actually yeah, I'm in tough this weekend too now that I think about it.) -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:41

groiny is on the clock for Cavemen -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 07:38
i would like someone to explain to me, in a fashion that a knuckleheaded moron could understand, the magic behind the double slit experiment and the - tRuMaN Aug 30, 07:37 3
- The fact that it's being observed makes it change it's pattern. or are you talking multiverse? -- nm - CQ Aug 30, 07:39 2
  - except in one case (quantum eraser) the data about which one you are seeing is being lost, therefore you are both observing it and not. i think. -- nm - tRuMaN Aug 30, 07:44
  - Well, not "multiverse" per se, but just the one universe where all the particles have goatees. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 07:43
Hmm, I think I forgot to take an official photo of the day yesterday ... All I got was a completely non-artistic car accident photo - Beryllium Aug 30, 07:37

  - spammy - what is this about Chase Freedom card now giving 1.5% back on purchases - saw a commerical - can existing card holder get in on that action? -- nm - Epiphany Aug 30, 07:35 3
    - Citi Double Cash is the answer. As long as paid in full each month, it's 2% back on everything. -- nm - ty97 Aug 30, 07:45 1
      - I'm trying to figure out how to pitch the Sapphire Reserve to the wife. - spamlet Aug 30, 07:47
    - It's technically a different card (Chase Freedom Unlimited). - spamlet Aug 30, 07:37

  - I'm sorry to say this, but yeah, hash browns are a no go for me too. *laughing* I'm gonna get beat up today -- nm - CQ Aug 30, 07:32 5
    - Hold on, this is where I leave you. -- nm - spamlet Aug 30, 07:34 2
      - it's a hard fall off the CQ bandagon, isn't it? -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 07:35 1
        
        It was going along swimmingly until suddenly it wasn't. - spamlet Aug 30, 07:38
    - So, you really don't like potatoes then. Just say that and this will all go away. -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 07:33 1
      - I love potatoes. home fries are fantastic, baked, scalloped, baby reds, roasted are all awesome. potato salad=gross -- nm - CQ Aug 30, 07:34
- so very wrong. -- nm - kelly Aug 30, 07:29

- CQ - you've been suspended. And you've been suspended for a period of 2 days time. nm - Jim Aug 30, 07:26 1
  - I know many kids grow up on these things and acquired the taste. I wish I could undo that for you -- nm - CQ Aug 30, 07:29
Is it true that dots no longer matter in email addresses? first.last@gmail is the same as firstlast@gmail? -- nm - rollo Aug 30, 07:21 22
- I sure hope not. I've been having a vicious tomato-growing rivalry with that g.curuchet asshole for years and years - con_carne Aug 30, 07:24
- only with gmail -- nm - decline Aug 30, 07:24
- That is true, but I don't know that it applies to all providers. (And it definitely doesn't apply to after the @ symbol.) -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 07:23
- gmail has a long standing policy of ignoring dots. This is not standard. They also allow you to put +whatever in your username and receive that mail - oblique Aug 30, 07:23 12
  - I thought they axed the +whatever feature? -- nm - Shaun Aug 30, 07:26
  - so they never allowed [email protected] *and* [email protected] to both be created? -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 07:24 10
    - Correct. If you registered "jane.smith" then you REALLY got "janesmith" and you can put as many dots in that as you want. - Ender Aug 30, 07:26 9

        "Guys, I think this acronym for our secret project is a little convoluted." -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 07:31 3
        
        Oh yeah, how else should we abbreviate "Joint Army Navy Environment for Semantic Military Intelligence Technology Heuristics"??? -- nm - Centcom Aug 30, 07:40 2

        Do you want Congressional funding or not?!?! -- nm - Centcom Aug 30, 07:43
        
        You CAN, but it gets you on an FBI list. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 07:28 1

      - good to know. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 07:27
      - I did not know this. -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:26
- I've heard that, specific to gmail, but have never tested it out. -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 30, 07:23
- um no. how could that possibly be true? two different people could have those two addresses. -- nm - Andie Aug 30, 07:22 4
  - gmail ignores .s in addresses. - Reagen Aug 30, 07:25
  - Gmail accounts for that when determining whether an address is available to register. -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 07:25 1
    - interesting. - Andie Aug 30, 07:25

LOL Yahoo has a little dome icon beside players now to indicate that the next game is in a dome. -- nm - Shaun Aug 30, 07:18 5
- It'll show rain and snow as well. They started it with baseball this year. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 07:19 4
  - Nobody cares about fantasy baseball. -- nm - Shaun Aug 30, 07:19 3
    - Fantasy baseball = me having the time to actually watch an entire baseball game -- nm - con_carne Aug 30, 07:21 1
      - Ah so you need the full 9 hours available to watch vs. just the 4 hours to watch the last inning. -- nm - Bacon Aug 30, 07:24
    - *hugs you* thank you sir. Just the kind of comment to get me going this morning. Bless you!! Bless YOU!! -- nm - Bacon Aug 30, 07:20
Ray Ray, crash -- nm - Spawn Aug 30, 07:15
NWBR, I sent Walt a FB msg. I know he's on vacation at the moment so.... - kelly Aug 30, 07:14 13
- This is my fault since I forgot to tell him about SuperFeud. He's been extremely accommodating with BF. - David Aug 30, 07:19 5
  - (I can tell you he won't be drafting for himself before then. He's only checking the internet once a day.) -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:19 4
    - I've emailed him on this directly without response. But yes, to keep us moving, please assume the draft for him until we can make contact. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:30 3
      - Is the scoring the same as regular Blood Feud? -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:32 2
        
        I think so. It's supposed to be. (Looking to mirror BF exactly save keepers.) -- nm* - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:38
        
        Kickers are worth 2x :) ML approved. -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 07:33
- I may be a hanging judge and will drop him in favour of the next highest Vamp qualifier. He wasn't proactive at all in getting the team set up. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:16 6
  - That, or I might enforce the "Skip him" rule. (He knows when BF takes place every year.) -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:17 5
    - I'll just draft for him. Let me know when he's up. - David Aug 30, 07:24 2
      - He's up in SF -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 07:29 1
        
        Okay, give me 10 minutes to look at the situation. -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:31
    - Okay. I'm just letting you know. -- nm - kelly Aug 30, 07:17 1
      - For sure. If you hear anything in the next bit, let me know. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:28

  - coke is it -- (link) - budice Aug 30, 07:16
Couple BF things: 1) What the fuck is a SuperFeud? 2) Seriously - no Caveman picks? Such a cliche. 3) I won't be near as witty with team names. - Jim Aug 30, 07:10 12
- It's only 7:30 am! -- nm - IrishStephen Aug 30, 07:44
- SuperFeud are the top 4 people from each league last year for a 1 champion -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 07:17 6
  - 12 years from now: SuperDuper Feud of only SF winners -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 07:18 5
    - Cool, a league where I can play with myself. - Will Hunting Aug 30, 07:24 4
      - *points out the edit post button* -- nm - CQ Aug 30, 07:27 1
        
        Oh, completely intentional. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 30, 07:27
      - Way to sexually harrass an entire board, pervert. -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:26
      - ermmmmm.... -- nm - kelly Aug 30, 07:24
- Blame the Hydra lover. -- nm - Shaun Aug 30, 07:15
- 1) League Champions, runners up and the top two regular season records not already qualified compete against each other in an annual redraft. - Name Withheld by Request Aug 30, 07:14 1
  - BF digs the smooth hobbit action -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 07:15
- The first rule of SuperFeud is never talk about SuperFeud -- nm - oblique Aug 30, 07:12
Steak fries with ketchup is one of the worlds perfect foods. - spamlet Aug 30, 07:10 31
- extra crispy Steak Fries with mayo as dipping sauce - Epiphany Aug 30, 07:18
- Awful. -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 07:18
- wtf are steak fries? -- nm* - Shaun Aug 30, 07:16 12
  - REAL french fries -- nm - budice Aug 30, 07:21
  - they are awful. -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 07:20 5
    - Yeah, they're gross. -- nm - kelly Aug 30, 07:30
    - Right? If I want a potato - I'll order a potato. When I order fries, I want frickin' fries! -- nm - Jim Aug 30, 07:23
    - at least there is one voice of reason in this plebian crowd -- nm - decline Aug 30, 07:22 1
      - Philistines, the lot of them (except for you, jim, ty and people who don't like steak fries.) -- nm - Diva Aug 30, 07:29
    - oh, Diva - oblique Aug 30, 07:21
  - [deleted]
  - These ... -- (link) - Krusty Aug 30, 07:20 [Image]
  - Are they called bacon fries up in Canada? I never know. -- nm - spamlet Aug 30, 07:17 2
    - After googling, they appear to be potato wedges and/or taters. -- nm - Shaun Aug 30, 07:21 1
      - Wedges sounds right. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 07:30
- I would barf -- nm - decline Aug 30, 07:14
- Steak Fries are greasy gross. Shoestring fries are best. -- nm - Bacon Aug 30, 07:13 10
  - What? Jesus fuck, man... -- nm - Ender Aug 30, 07:22 2
    - word -- nm - Beaker Aug 30, 07:38
    - Right? -- nm - David Aug 30, 07:23
  - Shoestring? may as well just drink a bottle of cooking oil for what you're consuming. -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 07:15 6
    - That makes sense, but they do seem less greasy. -- nm - Bacon Aug 30, 07:15 5
      - I feel like that comes down to the oil they use and temperature they're cooked at as well as a good device for holding them - Krusty Aug 30, 07:21 4
        
        They need to be dipped in ranch to make them palatable. -- nm - Bacon Aug 30, 07:23 3
        
        That sounds awful. -- nm - Krusty Aug 30, 08:02
        
        I mean, don't you have heart issues? I'm not trying to make this a thing, but... -- nm - Reagen Aug 30, 07:26
        
        wtf is going on here... -- nm - Shaun Aug 30, 07:24
- Mmm...steak... -- nm - znufrii, dad. Aug 30, 07:13
- provided they're not soggy steak fries, yes - ML Aug 30, 07:12
- Steak Fries and A-1 sauce. -- nm - budice Aug 30, 07:12
