    - Word is a lot of the "big" acts are doing solo summer tours, which is hurting festival lineups. -- nm - MDH Jan 13, 06:55

  - Agreed. It's a bite on the wallet. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 06:41 7
    - It's not a terrible price for a festival -- nm - ty97, Queen of the Skies Jan 13, 06:43 4
      - and a good price to be able to throw things at Cage the Elephant. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 06:47 3
        
        I've heard the band name but that's it. Are they bad or is this a band gag? -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 06:49 2
        
        I guarantee you've heard No Rest For The Wicked - Reagen Jan 13, 06:50 1
        
        *listening* No, never heard it. but I don't mind it. it sounds like a band that has mass appeal. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 06:53

  - This literally sounds like the most pretentious thing ever. -- nm - MDH Jan 13, 06:54
  - "Natalie Portman looks so tiny from way back here." "We're in the third row!" -- nm - Baron Zero C Jan 13, 06:40 1
    - heh -- nm - JaxSean Jan 13, 06:41
  - Normally it's a festival concert. Boston has started doing these. I would guess, for now, that it's a concert. -- nm - Mel Profit Jan 13, 06:39
Would or could you still root for a team after they've moved out of your city? There's no way I could do it. - Krusty Jan 13, 06:33 9
- They'll always be the KC Kings to me, but LA can have the Rams. -- nm - Baron Zero C Jan 13, 07:27
- Nope. Life sentence. -- nm - volnelk Jan 13, 06:37
- no, would actively root against -- nm* - Beaker Jan 13, 06:37 1
  - Right?!? I have issues with teams that move and that I don't root for. I can't imagine the anger if it was a team I liked. - Krusty Jan 13, 06:42
- No. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 06:36
- ........Jets - ty97, Queen of the Skies Jan 13, 06:34 3

Unpopular opinion: While I liked that Biden Medal of Freedom video, I wan't moved. He knew. -- nm - ty97, Queen of the Skies Jan 13, 06:30 8
- disagree - his reaction when it got to telling what was being awarded seemed very genuine to me - watch his eyes in particular at that moment - JenBro Jan 13, 06:40 5
  - I think anyone who has been in politics for decades is a great actor. - ty97, Queen of the Skies Jan 13, 06:42 4
    - oh - for sure he knew something was up - I mean when they said WHICH award he was getting - he was blown away. -- nm - JenBro Jan 13, 07:03
    - Well either he is a good actor, or he isn't. You're saying both at once - Guigue Jan 13, 06:47 2
      - No I'm not? - ty97, Queen of the Skies Jan 13, 06:51 1
        
        This is the other reason why it's harder for liberals to coalesce -- nm - Roger More Jan 13, 06:55
- i don't think so either. i think Obama would enjoy the ambush. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 06:38
- I don't think so. Not with the turn upstage away from the cameras. -- nm - Diva Jan 13, 06:33
For those keeping track, the new Nintendo Switch costs the same today as the old Nintendo Wii U--which never received a price cut. Ever. -- nm* - ML Jan 13, 06:28 6
- Economies of scale. They never sold out their initial stock. So, they never had enough made to bring the price of making WiiUs down. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 06:34 3
  - If the Switch doesn't work out, Nintendo would be best served by getting out of the hardware business completely. - ML Jan 13, 06:37 2
    - Nintendo should go third party? Someone should alert them of this groundbreaking, brand new idea. ;) -- (edited) - Inigo Jan 13, 06:45
    - a bidding wart for a Mario game between PS4 and XBox1 could be epic. same for a Zelda -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 06:38
- Wasn't the WiiU always $300? -- nm - MDH Jan 13, 06:30 1
  - It was $300 for the base model. $350 for the larger storage and Nintendoland packed in. -- nm - Inigo Jan 13, 06:31
Andie from B2. It definitely sounds possible. Get to a doctor ASAP. -- (edited) - Inigo Jan 13, 06:22 18
- Hope you feel better Andie. - sycor Jan 13, 07:12
- I too delay getting the doc's involved - but this year - with all that's going around - I'd go -- nm - JenBro Jan 13, 06:44
- it's either that or the boogie-woogie flu. -- nm - Reagen Jan 13, 06:27 6
  - But probably not the ROCKIN' Pneumonia, right? -- nm* - Ender Jan 13, 06:58
  - could also be a bad case of loving you -- nm - ML Jan 13, 06:29 4
    - but what if she gets Bad Medicine? -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 06:40 3
      - She can see Dr. Feelgood. -- nm - Krusty Jan 13, 06:40 2
        
        I hope it's not an achy breaky heart -- nm - Strongbad Jan 13, 06:44 1
        
        the best thing for it might be ice, ice baby -- nm - Beaker Jan 13, 07:19

  - You're in Canada. Isn't it free? Go to the doctor before Dicktator Trump takes over Canada and squashes Trudeaucare. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 13, 06:33 1
    - oh, that's the not the problem it's just taking time from work to go. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 06:35
  - (not a doctor) Doesn't sound like pneumonia because the folks I know who had it could barely manage to walk across the room - ty97, Queen of the Skies Jan 13, 06:26 2
    - Could be walking pneumonia (it's a real thing), you don't feel as bad but definitely need meds to help get over it -- nm - sycor Jan 13, 07:12
    - i had it once before (like, 20 years ago) i worked through it then too. -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 06:28
  - could be pneumonia, could be upper respiratory infection, but better safe than sorry -- nm - ML Jan 13, 06:26 2
    - my doctor's office was just 'uh, yeah, you should come in, how's 11:15?" -- nm - Andie Jan 13, 06:28 1
      - Mrs. ML has been off work since Wednesday with diagnosed pneumonia. This year's winter viruses are hitting the lungs hard. -- nm - ML Jan 13, 06:30
Julian Edelman says Texans ‘are the best team we’ve played all year’ - ML Jan 13, 06:20 3
