- Ouch. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 29, 08:07
Who would have predicted that The Sing Off would have produced a more commercially viable act than The Voice? -- nm - Dano S Pumpkins Oct 29, 06:48 9
- Me. The Voice is about the judges competing against each other. Sing-Off is about the singers. -- nm - Deeve Oct 29, 09:17
- not me, that's for sure - prayformojo Oct 29, 06:51 7
  - Pentatonix -- nm - Dano S Pumpkins Oct 29, 07:07 6
    - That sounds like a name that came out of a focus group. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 07:12 5
      - Or Best Buy. -- nm - Max Oct 29, 10:44
      - I went to their YouTube site and fair warning, they do LDB and have a Christmas album. -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 07:13 3

        I didn't know they existed until this year. :-) -- nm - Krusty Oct 29, 08:59
        
        This was my favorite performance of theirs from The Sing Off (not LDB) -- (link) - Dano S Pumpkins Oct 29, 07:31 [youtube]

  - You know the phrase "Watch out what you wish for" -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 22:00
  - Respawn the troll, Jeremy -- nm - mr monkey Oct 28, 21:47
Heh. Don't you hate it when the meaning of words and terms shift unexpectedly? - Scaryllium Oct 28, 21:34 8
- "Don't you mean 'Backend'?" "No, you heard it right the first time." -- nm - Max, Backhand Enforcement Oct 28, 23:37
- Web designer seems like merely graphic layout, since today the site is the main interface with the consumer it has as much weight as an architect -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 28, 22:14
- Eh, I get that definition... -- nm - Ender Oct 28, 21:47 3
  - Yeah, I guess. It just seems to me that using the word 'developer' implies programming & logic, rather than design/layout/UX ... -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 21:51 2
    - I think the idea is that these days they expect you to know some of the logic as well. -- (edited) - Ender Oct 28, 22:22
    - But it's true that there's a bit of overlap both ways -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 21:52
- someone curated the job -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 21:35 1
  - Yeah. Exactly. -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 21:37
Nobody talking about the Tesla solar panels? Looks pretty interesting. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 28, 21:19 6
- I want to see more, but it is an impressive product in appearance. The Powerwall 2.0 just jumped up - TWuG Oct 29, 05:10
- I love the idea. But I live in Canada and I'd need to see solar exposure numbers to consider it. - Scaryllium Oct 28, 21:35 4
  - Although doing the whole complex would be great - and the roofs (rooves?) do need to be replaced soon -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 21:45 3
    - They grow a LOT of produce in BC, the UV pass through clouds -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 28, 22:17 2
      - The angle of the earth relative to the sun in winter limits peak performance for many months. The weather is a separate issue. -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 23:55 1
        
        ... angle especially in relation to the shape and position of my roof. -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 23:55
I ate too much candy corn tonight -- nm - Booooooocon Oct 28, 21:00 4

      - Or he put ketchup on his sock -- nm - Booooooocon Oct 28, 21:16 3
        
        You make it sound deliberate. Most ketchup spills out the back of a hot dog bun are quite unintentional -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 21:21 2
        
        Not in Chicago. Seeing that ketchup isn't usually on a Chicago dog. -- nm* - boo Oct 28, 21:25
        
        Well, he is a pig so you might be onto something -- nm - Booooooocon Oct 28, 21:23
Game 5 tickets should be cheap, anyway. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 20:41 1

Buckner! (maybe) -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 20:37 1
- shat - so maybe not -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 20:41

  - This game was very entertaining albeit frustrating for Cubs fans. -- nm - Deeve Oct 29, 05:39

- You've got a full tank of gas, half pack of cigarettes, it's dark and you're wearing sunglasses. ....hit it -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 28, 22:22 1
  - And a C.W. McCall CD in the player... - MonsterMeg Oct 28, 22:37
I can't believe "We have the meats" evidently passed several focus groups -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 20:29 4
- I love the way he delivers that line. -- nm - David Oct 28, 21:11 1
  - Yeah, anyone else and the line would be nothing. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 28, 21:12
- focus groups of *Arby's customers*. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 20:42
- I think it's really funny. But it does not compel me to seek out Arby's. - Scaryllium Oct 28, 20:30
This is what I saw of the plane fire at O'Hare, on tv.. -- (link*) - boo Oct 28, 19:51 [Image]

- I had the same impression. (more spoilers) - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 28, 19:36
- No, you're not off. Spoiler sort of - Krusty Oct 28, 19:36
TV has the crowd miked wrong. Sounds like a light crowd instead of a SRO. -- nm - boo Oct 28, 19:32
Juror #4 says what I suspected. They didn't buy the Bundy bullshit. The prosecution failed to make its case. -- (link) - Mop Oct 28, 19:25 10
- the defendants broke federal law bringing guns to a federal reserve, here's the guns, lets look at the videos of them with guns at the park -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 28, 21:08 2
  - If only they'd been charged with the crimes they broke. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 21:14 1
    - And things get curiouser and curiouser by the day ... -- (link) - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 28, 21:31
- Or juror 4 thought the prosecution was all high and mighty and just didn't believe the prosecution. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 28, 21:04 3
  - Between this and znu, I'm getting a good idea about how Oregon people speak. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 21:43 1

  - Flawed system. -- nm - hellSpawn Oct 28, 20:17
Nebraska fans will love this. WaPo writer interviews @fauxpelini. Discussing the changes in the Husker fan base over the years. - GregW Oct 28, 19:19

I'm so in the weeds about Carl Edwards Sr. and David S. Pumpkins!! -- nm - Deeve Oct 28, 19:14
I am so very, very, very glad I was not on ST today. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 28, 19:01 6
- Bwaa -- nm - ML Galaxy Oct 28, 19:09
- Um. I hope this more a reflection on work, and not a reaction to the joke I made. -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 19:08 2
  - I guess maybe there were avoidable topics. Heh. -- nm - Scaryllium Oct 28, 19:11 1
    - The jokes you make are grand. :-) -- nm* - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 28, 19:22
- Want the highlights? -- nm - Tie97 Oct 28, 19:03 1

  - It's.. buggy, but still the same old game crack we always knew. -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 19:49
  - I recommend it for me. And I recommend someone else paying full price for you. -- nm - Roger More Oct 28, 19:27 3
    - so even with the pet peeves, you still love it? -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 19:29 2
      - further info, the last I played was Civ IV, I totally skipped V -- nm - crash davis Oct 28, 19:30 1
        
        I'm enjoying it, but for now I enjoy Civ V more. (But that's probably because I knew what I was doing in Civ V. I'm still learning) - Roger More Oct 28, 19:37
Leftover BBQ pork short-ribs with kale and red bell pepper. I've had worse :) -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 28, 18:56 4
