- broccoli....nm - x Feb 12, 11:27 2
  - childhood ty97 would have very much been on this bandwagon - ty97 Feb 12, 11:28 1
    - i like broccoli, but it's an easy dump here. i'd still have chinese broccoli (aka gai lan) which is better anyhow....nm - x Feb 12, 11:34
- This one is *very* easy for me - ty97 Feb 12, 11:27 3
  - celery is a great diet food. I use it a lot -- nm - Bacon Feb 12, 11:31 1

The Denver Nuggets are sending center Jusuf Nurkic and a first-round draft pick to the Portland Trail Blazers for center Mason Plumlee, a second-round - Beaker Feb 12, 11:11 3
- I like it. We are underachieving this year so infuse our group with youth -- nm* - Bacon Feb 12, 11:20
- seems like a decent deal for both sides to me.... - x Feb 12, 11:15
- The trade gives the Blazers potentially three first-round picks in this year's draft. The pick going from Denver to Portland is Memphis' 2017 pick, -- (edited) - Beaker Feb 12, 11:11

      - jeez i can't even read a whole tweet anymore....nm - x Feb 12, 11:24 1
        
        Seems lots of folks didn't understand (I could have explained better) -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 11:25

  - this -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 11:10
- What's easier to get rid of? Grits or Oatmeal? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 11:07 3
  - It's a tough choice for me. I eat oatmeal rather often, but grits are near and dear to my heart as a comfort food. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 12, 11:20 2
    - oatmeal is also used in a lot of other foods like bread crumbs is.also, I have never heard of grits & raisin cookies :) -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 12, 11:27

- Fine. Let Them Eat Reince. -- nm* - marie antoinette si Feb 12, 10:53
Legion's pilot is the most Stanley Kubrick thing I've seen in years. - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:27 8
- I've never watched Downton Abbey, where the lead guy is from, but he was fantastic. -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 10:32 6

        this looks basically unconnected to anything else, FWIW - Reagen Feb 12, 11:18
  - *runs to IMDB* ooooooh. I may have to check this out. - kelly Feb 12, 10:56
  - I love Hamish and I generally enjoy Aubrey Plaza. Other than that, it's a cast of unknowns to me. - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:39
- It was pretty good, very promising. I hope there's more of the dancing. -- nm - mud Feb 12, 10:31
RE: SNL KAC bit from last night. -- (link) - Spawn Feb 12, 10:15 12
- That bit would have been less creepy and maybe even funny if they had done it live. -- nm - Max Feb 12, 11:22
- It's funny that he posted it, but SNL had a hanging curveball last night, and they popped out. - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:23 9
  - :-) Exactly. They had Baldwin hosting and a ton of noise about them and they put on a weak show that -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 12, 10:27 7
    - You didn't say it! - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:32 4
      - I said it earlier. 1 day until pitchers and catchers report! 1 day! -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 10:37 2
        
        That's like tomorrow and stuff!!! -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:38 1

    - I guess the People's Court skit was new and funnyish. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 10:31 1
      - I loved that they telegraphed that skit in the opening. but I'm a sucker for call backs. -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 10:33
  - They have to pace themselves, David. - Beryllium Feb 12, 10:26
- The fact that he posted it is funny -- nm - Mel Profit Feb 12, 10:18

Trump's numbers are starting to show the story. He's 40/55/-15 today. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:05 16
- what's interesting is that he got no bump for the (relatively normal) SCOTUS pick - Reagen Feb 12, 10:13 8
  - [deleted]
  - Lost in the noise. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 12, 10:21
  - Hadn't crossed my mind, but why would we have expected that to help his approval? -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 10:16 4
    - cause it's a thing normal presidents do, and would improve his standing among shaky conservatives -- nm - Reagen Feb 12, 10:19 3
      - But I think the expectation that he would nominate a conservative-friendly judge was baked in. -- (edited) - ty97 Feb 12, 10:20 2
        
        Historically, it's worth a 6-8 point bump. His numbers might be artificially inflated right now for that reason. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:25 1
        
        very interesting, I didn't know that. Thanks! -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 10:38
  - Exactly. I was looking for that all week. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:15
- I wonder how much of that is people mad that the hasn't done tax changes, Obamacare repeal, etc yet - ty97 Feb 12, 10:08 6
  - ... or released his taxes. -- nm - Spawn Feb 12, 10:21 1
    - Nobody's interested in seeing his taxes, Spawn. -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 10:21
  - He led with that, and he's still had historically bad numbers for a guy in his first month. -- nm - David, ST's Ultimate Lover Feb 12, 10:10 3
    - No doubt the numbers are bad. But if some of the dipping is related to the Drudge/Hannity "hey, hurry up and do this stuff" - ty97 Feb 12, 10:12 2
      - but then he can't/won't/doesn't know how to do those things - Reagen Feb 12, 10:16 1
        
        oh, he's in WAY over his head. But the impatience from some on the right three weeks in is a bit silly as well. -- nm* - ty97 Feb 12, 10:17

Ivanka was *pissed* at KellyAnne for dragging her into the controversy -- (link) - Reagen Feb 12, 09:43 9
- Was just reading that article Sounds like Ivanka may not be too thrilled with Dad on that front either -- nm - ty97 Feb 12, 09:46 8
  - I do feel for Ivanka a bit. She actually seems okay. But if she is just going to stand by and spher father -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 09:48 7
    - (Where is the edit button?) ... support her father publicly, there are repercussions. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 09:49 6
      - You have to be logged in, which might be misbehaving in beta (but should work on regular) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:52 3

        Very odd - and it says "Your Activity" in the upper right corner? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 11:26
      - I'm not convinced that she isn't doing all of this to build her own (potentially political) brand. - ty97 Feb 12, 09:51 1
        
        If I thought she was in charge I would feel a lot better about everything. - Andie Feb 12, 09:53

How do we feel about a local (for profit) business running a GoFundMe to help them through a rough spot? - Mop Feb 12, 09:22 12
- Totally fine. They're giving their customers a chance to decide for themselves. -- nm - David Feb 12, 10:03
- Hate it. They didn't even try an eighties feel-good montage where neighbors grab their tools and get together to fix it. -- (link) - con_carne Feb 12, 09:48 [youtube] 1
  - Now casting for grouch who has a change of heart halfway though, love interest who touches wet paint onto main character's face, - con_carne Feb 12, 10:04
- I'm ok with it. A local restaurant was damaged by the hurricane and asked people to buy gift certificates to help them raise capital. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 12, 09:38 3
  - I like this better...it's pushing the service payments down the road. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 12, 09:41 1
    - This is a good point. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:53
  - That's what I was thinking. If they offered store credit equal to the donation (or better) once the insurance money came through. - Meg Feb 12, 09:40
- I'm ambivalent. If the community support is there, why not? - Beryllium Feb 12, 09:24 1
  - Yep. -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 09:57
- It's not Flat Tail Brewing is it? -- nm - Bacon Feb 12, 09:24 1
  - No, thankfully Flat Tail is safe. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 09:26
- I think it's fine for them to explain the situation and ask for help. - ty97 Feb 12, 09:24

- Where are you? You seem to get a lot of snow. -- nm - Krusty Feb 12, 08:06 2
  - New Brunswick -- nm - Beaker Feb 12, 08:09 1
    - Thanks. And that explains the harsh weather sometimes. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 12, 08:11
- Are you getting the same bad winds that NS will get? Sounds pretty nasty -- nm - Andie Feb 12, 08:02 1
  - not as bad thankfully, but still 35-40 kph (so near whiteout conditions)...I need some storm chips stat; plus around -20C with the wind chill -- nm* - Beaker Feb 12, 08:04

  - I thought there had been reports of active chupacabra in the southern states? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 12, 08:00 4
    - I guess maybe they were unconfirmed reports. - Beryllium Feb 12, 08:00 3
      - Yeah, just stick to the facts. -- nm - Mop Feb 12, 09:03
      - oh wait it's there, in NM -- nm - mud Feb 12, 08:02 1

  - This feels like the old days when we had Kremlinologists - Reagen Feb 12, 08:10
  - Yup. - znufrii Feb 12, 07:53
- The thing about intelligence is that when you know they know, you don't let them know that you know they know you know they know. -- nm* - Beryllium Feb 12, 07:51 1
