    - not bad for the price. I have not used it too much, and have not tried a game on it yet. But I did do a Jurassic park thing that was really cool and - decline Feb 8, 09:14
  - If the PS4 VR was of the same quality as the PC, I'd have jumped on that. I'm really disappointed there is no iOS equivalent of Daydream as I'd like - oblique, SuperFeud Champion Feb 8, 09:10 1
    - I really, really want to play RE7 in VR -- nm - decline Feb 8, 09:13

- Logan does. I will eventually as I expect the tech to improve drastcally over the next 18 months or so. -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 09:00
Tony Dungy admits his Colts stole signals, says not cheating (but, now if the Pats do it, it surely is right Tony you sanctimonious piece of shit) -- (link*) - Beaker Feb 8, 08:53 2

        I don't know, but I'm becoming more and more convinced that it's the women who are going to save us all. - ty97 Feb 8, 08:35 3
        
        HeyHeyHey! Watch your mouth. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 8, 08:44 2

- Think I will record and see what ratings are like rather than see it cancelled and be disappointed -- nm - Beaker Feb 8, 08:43 1
  - It is on FX so I doubt you have much to worry about. Especially since Noah Hawley is behind it. -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 8, 08:46
- you know what else starts tonight that I'm almost as excited aboot? History of Comedy (CNN, 8-part series) -- nm - mud Feb 8, 08:21 4

    - This is reasonably funny -- nm - zork Feb 8, 08:59
    - Ugh, it's about Paula Poundstone? -- nm - ty97 Feb 8, 08:32

Mitch McConnell is a piece of shit. -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 08:05 17
- It's was a pretty stunning act, but one that the right will eat up because they despise her. -- nm - pmb Feb 8, 08:14 4
  - I'm beyond caring what they do. To me this is more about continuing to fire up the Left and women. -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 08:16 3
    - Precisely. The right is going to hate her always and forever. So what? - ty97 Feb 8, 08:17 2
      - I think there is more to it. The GOP thinks she would be a weak option in 2020, so they want to embolden her. -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 08:25 1
        
        embolden = try to make her look like a shrill harpy by shooting self in foot. - Mitch Feb 8, 08:26

- He most certainly is, but man did he eff this one up -- nm - ty97 Feb 8, 08:09 7

    - Water is wet too. -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 08:14 4
      - Woman, be still. -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 08:16 3
        
        these are great. -- nm - Diva Feb 8, 08:17 2
        
        ... I will allow that. -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 08:18 1

  - Exactly. Thus: ATTACK HIM -- nm - ty97 Feb 8, 08:18
- his Twitter is full of people posting stuff at him and him replying. pretty funny -- nm - Beaker Feb 8, 08:02

  - Nice. :-) -- nm - TWuG Feb 8, 08:03
- The next Obama! -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 07:58
There he goes again. Someone take his phone away. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 8, 07:51 5
- if he keeps it up the world will just work around him as much as they realistically can. that's not going to help the US. -- nm - Andie Feb 8, 07:55 2
  - [deleted]
  - Give us 4 years and we will be back! -- nm - Spawn Feb 8, 07:57

Somebody forgot the glue, or something -- (link) - decline Feb 8, 07:39 3
- Hopefully fake, although I can't figure out what's fake about it. If it's just the location that's wrong, still bad, of course. -- nm - mara Feb 8, 07:50 1
  - for one there's no street traffic -- nm - rollo Feb 8, 08:00
- Yikes. Was anyone hurt? I assume it was not intentional. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 8, 07:44
Snow totals raised to 10 inches for us tomorrow after 60F today. Could see a foot in some places. Gonna be fun running around the city tomorrow. -- nm - Krusty Feb 8, 07:29 5
- We set a record high yesterday. -- nm - Callisto Buffalomeat Feb 8, 07:45 1
  - Crazy. We might set one today. -- nm - Krusty Feb 8, 08:08
- We had the 60 yesterday and the flakes are supposed to start in about 30 minutes. - Spawn Feb 8, 07:32 2
  - so it's all your fault -- nm - decline Feb 8, 07:35 1

Grammar question, which is the correct option? - znufrii Feb 8, 06:40 7
- B and C are both correct. Are they impacted jointly as a group or individually? -- nm - mara Feb 8, 07:02
- I feel like it should be 3, but the specific word "value" makes it confusing. - Ender Feb 8, 06:51
- I think it has to be 2 - ty97 Feb 8, 06:44
- don't use 1 -- nm - decline Feb 8, 06:43
- [deleted] 2

        ahh, wasn't sure of the questions as I thought there were the vacancies. I'd say they may try something sure. -- nm - Beaker Feb 8, 07:23
        
        I've been worried about the courts for a long time. I wanted Obama to fill many more vacancies than he did but I guess he did what he could. -- nm - Krusty Feb 8, 07:12 1
