- Judge us all you want. We suck at dealing with snow out here. - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 12:26 2
  - We have one snowplow for every 612,000 people in the Portland Metro area. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jan 12, 12:31 1
    - yes, but I'm not sure how you'd "plow" what's in that segment. -- nm - Reagen Jan 12, 12:33

budice, are you still game for ATL-SEA? - Strongbad Jan 12, 12:09
Pulling out of NAFTA would cost the US up to 30,000 jobs and lead to higher vehicle prices -- (link) - Beaker Jan 12, 12:08 7
- It would cost the U.S. *auto industry* 30,000 jobs. 30,000 jobs *total* is nothing. But 30,000 jobs in one sector alone is important. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 12:11 1
  - It's about 3% of jobs related to motor vehicle and parts manufacturing -- (link) - Roger More Jan 12, 12:14
- [deleted] 4
  - I hear that it's about 3% of jobs related to motor vehicle and parts manufacturing. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 12:15 3
    - Which sounds ridiculously low. -- nm - Roger More Jan 12, 12:17 2
      - if you actually look at the report, it details "at least" 31,000 jobs that would be lost but acknowledges the losses could well be higher.... - x Jan 12, 12:27 1
        
        hm, that formatted it badly. also, it's kind of appalling that i could look at the report itself for ten minutes and find that..... - x Jan 12, 12:30
I don't agree that McCain or Romney were viewed apocalyptically. - Reagen Jan 12, 11:59 22
- I both agree and disagree with Maher's statement and it ultimately collapses because of circumstance. His point is that the fervor with which the -- (edited) - pmb Jan 12, 12:07 1
  - I think it also collapses because it ignores what Trump said and how he acted throughout his campaign. -- nm - Roger More Jan 12, 12:20
- I may be wrong, but I'm pretty sure "this is the most important election of our lifetimes" was doled out both of those years as well. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 12:05 6
  - [deleted] 5
    - True, but court picks are always hugely important and they tend to be tied to party view, not so much persona. - Max Jan 12, 12:17 1
      - [deleted]
    - Yeah. The failure of Maher's point is that those were really important and worth being worried about. It doesn't change the fact that this is - pmb Jan 12, 12:11 1
      - [deleted]
    - Palin just a heartbeat away... -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 12:10
- I think Maher was very much speaking for himself in that. -- nm - mara Jan 12, 12:01 4
  - Yes and no. I saw him make the statement (I think it was on either Colbert or Fallon and something similar on his show). He was speaking for liberals - pmb Jan 12, 12:08 2
    - I mean in terms of crying wolf -- villifying McCain and Romney. I don't think many on the left did that. -- nm - mara Jan 12, 12:30 1
      - He sure mentions "we" a lot though. -- nm - Roger More Jan 12, 12:35
  - this right here. -- nm - Diva Jan 12, 12:02
- Completely agree with this. Maybe they weren't great (IMO) but they were "fit to be President." -- nm - MDH Jan 12, 12:00 7
  - Here is the thread that proves ST felt this way then. -- (link*) - Andie Jan 12, 12:02 [Backboard] 6
    - Point of Information: November 5th and rear-view mirror clouds it just a tad. There are no right wing politicians left-leaning folks respect more.... - Name Withheld by Request Jan 12, 12:33 2
      - sure, it was after. but i recall people were pretty Pro-Obama, but not in a 'the other side will destroy the earth way.' - Andie Jan 12, 12:35 1
        
        I agree somewhat. But there was a lot of "I liked McCain in 2000, but with this [insert bad 2008 choice here] I find him pathetic," too. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jan 12, 12:49
    - and if anything, it was (some) Republicans that reacted this way about Obama - Reagen Jan 12, 12:17
    - isn't half of that thread Canadian? ;-) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 12, 12:12 1
      - ha, yes. and *we* weren't even appalled by a Republican. Think about it! -- nm - Andie Jan 12, 12:17

- A requirement to be the social media person for an NHL team is "must be really, really snarky." -- nm - Tim Jan 12, 11:47 4
  - For the second time today, I feel as if I've missed my calling. -- nm - ML Jan 12, 11:55 3
    - What was the other one? - David Jan 12, 11:56 2

Strongbad, I'd like periodic updates on your Orange Fitness progress. - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:30 14
- My co-worker has been going for about a year - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:38 9
  - You basically pick a class and you have an instructor during that time, essentially, right? - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:42 1
    - Basically - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:48
  - more - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:41 2
    - Interesting. Thanks! I need to see if we can get back in the "exercise" pattern again first. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:43 1
      - Right. I'm just going to try and get on a schedule, do some light cardio, tone up and go from there. - Mel Profit Jan 12, 11:47
  - I don't like to be judged. -- nm - university of amanda jones Jan 12, 11:39 3
    - It's very motivational - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:44 2
      - The workout 'goal' is to achieve and maintain certain heart rate ranges for the duration of the class? - JD Jan 12, 11:48 1
        
        Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:50
- (because there's a new one right by our house.) - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:34
- My daughter is a big fan of the Orange Theory classes. -- nm - pmb Jan 12, 11:34
- Anyone using fitness trackers? A lot of this can probably be shared digitally. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 11:33 1
  - i think that you'd have to a heart rate equipped fitness tracker to capture an Orange Fitness type workout - JD Jan 12, 11:43
Watford have signed Everton midfielder Tom Cleverley on loan until the end of the season, with a view to a permanent transfer. -- nm - CQ Jan 12, 11:24 3
- It always messes with my head a little when he's playing. I can't tell if the announcers are saying his name, or the adverb. -- nm - znufrii Jan 12, 11:26 2
  - As an Everton fan, there's zero confusion for me. He gives it his all when he's out there but there's nothing clever about his play - JD Jan 12, 11:30 1
    - Same when he played for Villa. He puts it all out there, but what he puts out there isn't good. :) -- nm - CQ Jan 12, 12:12
Got our basketball team selected. 14 girls tried out. Most teams go with 12, but couldn't cut just 2 so they all made it! - Beaker Jan 12, 11:19 3
- Participation trophies for everyone! -- nm - Roger More Jan 12, 11:22
- That's very nice of you, seriously. :-) -- nm - MDH Jan 12, 11:19 1
  - it is Tier 2 (so not varsity or Junior Varsity), so more for fun and to learn the game so why cut anyone really -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 11:21
ESPN: NFL fined Steelers' LB Bud Dupree $18,231 for striking Dolphins' QB Matt Moore in the head/neck area -- nm - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:17 8
- It's strange when someone gets fined for a clean play. - David Jan 12, 11:34 4
  - Not allowed to lead with the crown of the helmet (even on a helmet to helmet hit) + Moore was still considered a QB behind the line of scrimmage. - Inigo Jan 12, 11:43
  - Yeah, I saw that and was like shoulder to the chest, and head comes up...that's not a foul. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jan 12, 11:38 2
    - I thought similar. I mean the top of his helmet does crash into the QB's chin but that didn't look dirty. - Mel Profit Jan 12, 11:43
    - Moore panicked, which made it even worse, but I can't blame him at all. - David Jan 12, 11:42
- but what did Ajayi get for that brutal shove! The epnalties were the same... -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 11:20
- For those of you who didn't see it happen -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 12, 11:18 [youtube] 1

- huh. Good for her. glad life worked out for her. -- nm - Remlik Jan 12, 11:34 1
  - I'm a bit surprised she doesn't have a YouTube channel. Rocketboom survived a few years without her before dying... - David Jan 12, 11:37
Justice Department Inspector General launches review of DOJ and FBI investigation of Clinton emails. -- (link) - Remlik Jan 12, 11:01 6

  - Presidentially appointed -- nm - decline Jan 12, 11:19
  - Totally tangent, but we're steamrolling towards Trump's own "Saturday Night Massacre". - Mop Jan 12, 11:16
- This could go either way. "Too lenient" or "Politically motivated"? -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 11:03 1
  - Either way, "Too Late." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:07
Your conservative reading list for the week. -- (link) - znufrii Jan 12, 11:00 1

    - all the while wondering when I can get on the hydro-massage bed. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 12, 11:07 3
      - So you did the Black membership? I balked at the year contract. - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:31 2
        
        I was told I could try it out for 2 weeks. - Mel Profit Jan 12, 11:36 1
        
        Oh nice. The girl that signed me up *kind* of said something about trying it out, but I didn't really think about it. - JaxSean Jan 12, 11:45
- The soundtrack of RC's life is very intense. -- nm - Mop Jan 12, 10:59 1

Almost the weekend! -- nm - Beaker Jan 12, 10:58 3
