I watched a bit of Battlefield 1 gameplay last night on IGN's review of it. My enthusiasm has dampened a little but I'm still down for it, I guess. -- nm - crash davis Nov 18, 10:29 7

      - so, a game about war is "grim and realistic"....... - groiny Nov 18, 10:45 2

      - I mean having the PA bring over a step ladder was probably a good sign it was over. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 18, 10:30
    - When can we do a re-boot of the movie Red with these folks? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 10:17

So, is the Amazon Echo Dot basically just an Echo without its own speaker, or are there other differences? -- nm - Ender Nov 18, 08:19 4

How identity politics lost Democrats the election. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 18, 08:14 12
