Driver in school bus crash had left his designated route? And another child dies :-( -- (link) - Meg Nov 23, 18:34 6
- Safety in school buses is so far behind. I know it's hard to get kids to wear seat belts or safety devices. I had a lot of friends die in a bus crash - jnine Nov 23, 18:49 5
  - often when I go to remote mine sites there's a bus ride involved at the far end. every bus has seat belts, and they don't move until everyone is - mafic Nov 23, 18:53 4
    - It's impossible to police kids. They don't care if you won't move, but they could have some sort of automatic restraint system. -- nm - jnine Nov 23, 19:00 3
      - I think if you set the requirement from the start of the kid's school life it's a lot easier. -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 19:27 2
        
        (so basically you age it in) -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 19:27 1
        
        I just see it being impossible for high school students unless it happens automatically. All that rebellion. -- nm - jnine Nov 23, 19:44
Ok, looks like I'm out of space on my PS4, other than deleting stuff, what are my options? -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 23, 18:30 7
- external HDD (I believe any old one) works for backup/archive, but you won't be able to play/watch from it. - mafic Nov 23, 18:39
- Can you not do the external hard drive like with the Xbone? -- nm - JaxSean Nov 23, 18:34 4
  - I don't know, I was hoping ST would have the answer! -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 23, 18:36 3
    - just googling, if you have a launch model PS4, you can replace the hard drive. - JaxSean Nov 23, 18:43 1
      - New PS4 it is! - IrishStephen Nov 23, 19:20
    - I gave you the answer. The wife will love having another one -- nm - Bacon Nov 23, 18:40

never change, Australia. -- (link) - mafic Nov 23, 18:02 7
- Another thing about Australia - "I'm outside of Australia. Why can't I watch 9Now?" -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 18:05 6
  - same reason we can't watch a lot of stuff on the websites of american broadcasters -- nm - Karl_S Nov 23, 18:58 1
    - Rupert Murdoch's an asshole? -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 19:06
  - that's... surprising. I imagine it's a blanket rule because they have some content that's only licensed to them in Aus. -- (link) - mafic Nov 23, 18:07 3
    - Thanks - classic. -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 18:16
    - That worked -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 18:11 1
      - Apparently not a story about snakes battled spiders. -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 18:12
this recount story is reaching a critical mass! - philip k mud Nov 23, 17:49 5
- Why, even Joss Whedon is on the recount bandwagon! - IrishStephen Nov 23, 18:33 3
  - I wonder if Adam Baldwin responds to this. -- nm - David Nov 23, 19:17 2
    - He did, that's how it came across my feed. -- (link) - IrishStephen Nov 23, 19:24 1
      - On second look, that's not a direct reply to Whedon. -- nm - IrishStephen Nov 23, 19:35
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Nov 23, 18:16
The "What don't ya want?" scene in Hell or High Water might be my favorite of the year -- nm - prayformojo Nov 23, 17:33 6

So...umm....Jill Stein is filing for recounts in MI/WI/PA -- (link) - ty97 Nov 23, 17:26 10
- I'm sorry to revel in your misery, America, but how much would I love it if this election became even more of a clusterfuck? -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 18:35 1
  - yeah, no thanks. -- nm - znufrii Nov 23, 18:47
- Or is she just creating a fundraising opportunity for herself by saying she's going to? -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 23, 18:22
- Does this count as "respecting the results and integrity of the election"? -- nm - Strongbad Nov 23, 18:14 3
  - Ask Jill Stein I guess? -- nm - ty97 Nov 23, 19:05
  - Moreso than baselessly claiming it's rigged before the fact, I guess... -- nm - znufrii Nov 23, 18:29
  - I mean it's a legal right of hers, but... - Reagen Nov 23, 18:20
- They recount everyone's votes, right? So, in a sense, this would be like Clinton filing for a recount, but on the sly? -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 17:53 1
  - false flag! Clinton's paying her! - mafic Nov 23, 18:36
- She wants to make absolutely sure that because of her Trump is in office. -- nm - Bacon Nov 23, 17:27
One turkey gets officially pardoned, but both get to live out their lives on a farm. - . Nov 23, 17:25 1

- You don't strike me as the type of guy who would laugh at things. -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 17:55
- this apparently may be the thing that makes us get a dog. -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 17:31 2
  - not a panda? -- nm - philip k mud Nov 23, 17:33 1
    - Mafic wants to play dress-up. A panda would not put up with that shit. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 23, 17:39

Huh, what kind of small electronic appliance uses a 9v battery rather than a button?!? - Meg Nov 23, 17:08 5

Dudes. I went for a half hour walk. Caught 2 Dittos. One from a zubat, one from a ratatta. -- nm - Andie Nov 23, 16:26 6
- I saw a post about someone catching a Ditto. Looks like they've opened the floodgates. -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 16:30 5
  - have they made the game less boring somehow? -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 17:09 4
    - Not really. I only played tonight because of bonus points plus Dittos. -- nm - Andie Nov 23, 17:15 3
      - I had a brief affair with it, but then got irritated by having to stop and do things. -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 17:18 2
        
        like it interrupted my walking too much, also the battery thing. -- nm - mafic Nov 23, 17:20 1

- i'm guessing the current drive time from you is: Palm Springs 6 hours and 10 to Las Vegas - Peglegpete Nov 23, 15:53 4
  - Heck, I was just trying to get around the corner to Staples. Early getaway combined with last minute grocery shopping I guess. -- nm - Meg Nov 23, 16:02 3

Resolved: Every canopy on the bed of a pickup truck looks lame. -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 14:16 12
- I've decided that any jacked up pickup truck voted for Trump anyway, so yeah. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 23, 14:27 5
  - esp the ones that blow black diesel fumes whenever they roar past a prius -- nm - z Nov 23, 14:47 1

    - I'm so irritated with myself that I didn't take a photo at the grocery store here when I walked past a brand new Mercedes sedan with trucknuts -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 15:02 1
      - *smh* -- nm - JaxSean Nov 23, 15:19

  - Mop says "get with fashion, old man!" -- nm - JaxSean Nov 23, 14:35 4
    - If I'm being honest, I am rarely, if ever, "with it" especially in fashion -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 14:41 3

Trump voters! If nothing else would make you question The Donald's judgement, what about him paying 12K for a signed Tim Tebow helmet? Surely that - crash davis Nov 23, 13:38 14
- Point being, Trump likes to portray himself as a man's man. But despite his efforts, he doesn't know crapall about football. - crash davis Nov 23, 13:56
- It`s this sort of elitist snobbery that shows how out of touch you are! -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 13:51 3
  - Liking completed passes is not elitist, it is just plain responsible! Get with it America -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 13:52 2
    - Next you`ll be saying that great businessmen should never have declared bankruptcy. -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 13:55 1
      - Well, I did see a show where Mark Cuban was boggling at how Trump could have lost 916 million in '95. So there is that. He is a good enough - crash davis Nov 23, 13:58
- Did he? Or did the Trump Foundation pay it? -- nm - Mop Nov 23, 13:49 1
  - Foundation money was used, but of all the crap at the auction, he picked and bid up the Tebow helmet. I'm sure there was better tchotchke there. -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 13:54
- if it was in a charity auction, expect stellar prices out of the norm..I don't know where /how he got it. -- nm* - Peglegpete Nov 23, 13:39 6
  - It was a charity auction that he then used charity funds to purchase (I believe) -- nm - MDH Nov 23, 13:45 2
    - That makes him smart! -- nm - Roger More Nov 23, 13:49
    - see below, the helmet's location (unknown) has tax law implications -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 13:49
  - It was a charity auction. Personally, I'd rather just give the charity 12K than have it known I spent more than $50 for a Tebow helmet -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 13:41 2
    - too bad I am not your stalker...really good and interesting cookbooks are a yes, Tebow is a no :)) -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 23, 13:45 1
      - plus he paid for it out of his charitable foundation, leaving some interesting tax questions on where the helmet is now -- nm - crash davis Nov 23, 13:45
The Colts should coax Hasselbeck out of retirement to save their season. -- nm - David Nov 23, 13:25 14
