- neat -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 14:40
- I know you didn't come back to ST to update us on meaningless 80s movie anniversaries - con_carne Nov 3, 14:38
Great story from the biggest Cub fan I know, a teacher in Columbus.… - Volnelk Nov 3, 14:24 2
- cool -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 14:29
- ::like:: -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 14:27
What's that thing I keep meaning to do and then I keep forgetting to do. It likely involves doing something on the web. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 14:23 6
- Staying away from ST -- nm - con_carne Nov 3, 14:27 3
  - dude -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 14:40 2

  - 'turmoil' *smh* - Jovian Nov 3, 14:38 2
    - Turmoil isn't the word that got me. It's the idea that there isn't any possible time to consider one's words and speak like a civilized human being. - Max Nov 3, 14:41
    - Don't you know America isn't great anymore? -- nm - TWuG Nov 3, 14:39

  - maybe he thinks it's a synonym for "resume"? -- nm - Max Nov 3, 14:19 1
    - That's a tenuous definition of "resume", at best. Maybe he just meant "team". -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 14:24
- that's isn't even a sentence. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 14:17
- Yep. He has Lebowski Syndrome. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:17

GoPro stock taking a cue from the product -- (link) - ML Nov 3, 13:56 4
- No, sorry. Those are Hillary's poll #s. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 14:30
- It's fascinating that Fitbit and goPro can be the unquestioned leaders in their segment yet still have so much of a problem making money. - Reagen Nov 3, 14:02 1
  - I think GoPro spent a ton on R&D for their drone. With Christmas coming up, they could have a stellar Q4/Q1 pairing. BuyBuyBuy! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:06
- I know that's fun with the Y-axis, but that's no good. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 3, 14:00
I guess Chicago Metra has sent out texts to riders that tomorrow is going to be the busiest Metra day in Chicago history. -- nm - groiny Nov 3, 13:48 1
- Every station should have a giant home plate where the trains come sliding in and unload passengers. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 13:49
Westworld: I commented before on a rather brilliant piece of acting on Anthony Hopkins' part. This video breaks that scene down. -- (link) - ML Nov 3, 13:44 [youtube] 4

  - that dude might make something of himself someday. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 13:54
- it's clear he's been looking for his Breaking Bad. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 13:46 1
  - Agreed. something to really sink his teeth into. -- nm - Remlik Nov 3, 13:48
Wait, tonight's episode of The Good Place is the season finale? What? -- (link) - Andie Nov 3, 13:43 10
- The Cancel Bear says "Because it’s so heavily serialized, “The Good Place” is only going to run for 13 episodes this season." -- (link) - GregW Nov 3, 14:04 1
  - yup, -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 14:31
- I think it's 13 episodes total so far. This might be a mid season. -- nm - sycor Nov 3, 13:52
- it's still waiting on its backend pickup. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 13:45 5
  - that's not cool. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 13:46 4

Biggest downside to no home mail delivery anymore? No way to stop the flyer bundles - Reagen Nov 3, 13:39
so, you all know i deal with charity foundation stuff. in correspondence about a connected matter, there is another large donor named -- (edited) - Andie Nov 3, 13:39 1
- I think in that case you have to go with 'the Jack and Frieda (or whatever his wife's name is) Daniels wing." -- nm - mafic Nov 3, 16:24
The "help kids in Asia" scammers have stepped up their game, with door to door Krispy Kreme - Reagen Nov 3, 13:36
instead of having melania speak, they should just have her stand there posing and use steven Hawking's vox box read the text, it would emote better -- nm - zeit spiced geist Nov 3, 13:33
"Melania urged voters to 'treat each other with respect and kindness' as the nation burst into hysterical laughter'" -- (link) - philip k mud Nov 3, 13:32

There's not even 8 hours left to sign up for SS, so if you were thinking of signing up, you might want to do it now! - kelly Nov 3, 13:11 16
- I might have done it twice, hope that doesn't mean I have to shop for two slackers -- nm - zeit spiced geist Nov 3, 13:37 8
  - You did. :) No worries, I already deleted the second set of info. -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:40
  - i assume i signed up. i feel like i did it on day-one, and now i am second guessing whether i did. - Andie Nov 3, 13:40 6
    - You did. -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 13:41 5
      - Kelly! Kelly! Kelly! I have a question. - Reagen Nov 3, 13:42 3

groiny, did you see schwarber's line? WS: .412 AVG, .500 OBP, .971 OPS, 1 SB -- nm - AC000000 Nov 3, 12:57 6

- I should get a portfolio. - Beryllium Nov 3, 13:37 3
  - there's nothing wrong with that approach, FWIW - Reagen Nov 3, 13:39 2
    - Right. I've never had enough cash savings to realistically consider it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 14:04 1
      - you should realistically have at least 10k "free" before investing in stocks - Reagen Nov 3, 14:06

        It just came out like a week or so ago. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 13:19
        
        I didn't know they put out an actual video. I assumed the lyric video was it. -- nm - Tim Nov 3, 13:15 1
        
        I think that one came first, and then they realized they had the biggest song in years. -- nm - David Nov 3, 13:17
