Oh yay. Housing market through the roof here. Prices up 11% this year. Only 53 current listings in town (6 are million dollar+) -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 12:43 4

4chan and the rise of the drumpf and the new alt right movement....an interesting read -- (link) - zeitgeist Feb 19, 12:30
Tonight's Oscar movies will be: Hacksaw Ridge followed by Hell or High Water. - kelly Feb 19, 12:30 5
- Hacksaw Ridge is the only movie I haven't seen, mostly because of a giant lack of interest - Guigue Feb 19, 13:54
- Hacksaw Ridge was excellent. -- nm - MDH Feb 19, 13:34
- after reading the guy`s Wikipedia page from Hawksaw Ridge, and reading spoils on the movie, it sounds like if anything they downplay what he did in - Beaker Feb 19, 13:11
- Hell or High Water!! -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 12:51 1
  - I was pleasantly surprised how entertaining that was -- nm - JD Feb 19, 13:35

  - homegirl 2 shots back is already on his final rd -- nm - budice Feb 19, 11:53
This is ... dastardly. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:17
I wonder if McCain is looking to mount a primary campaign against an incumbent, like Reagan tried against Ford. -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 11:15 12
- At this point, I would honestly say that McCain is a fucking clown.. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 19, 11:48 1
  - Its amusing watching him trying cling to a shred of dignity...this is his last office, he should be fearless, go scortched earth -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 12:42
- Rand Paul on McCain: "Everything that he says about the president is colored by his own personal dispute he’s got running with President Trump" -- (link*) - Roger More Feb 19, 11:38 3
  - Good link. Rand was merciless. -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 12:45
  - Which while true is also a pretty universally applicable and ultimately meaningless statement - Reagen Feb 19, 12:24 1
    - Yeah, I just wanted to show the resistance there is to McCain, even from elements that you'd expect to side with him over Trump. -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 14:19
- Tell me one thing he's done since Trump's been elected that's had material effect. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 11:30 2
  - He spoke loudly! - TWuG Feb 19, 11:32 1
    - I think there's value to having a voice from within his own party concerned about the same issues as people on the left. It makes it less easy to - pmb Feb 19, 13:00
- He would be 88 after his first term... -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 11:26 1
  - He won't hold his opponents' youth against him. -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 12:41
- He'll be 80+ and would need to actually vote against Trump at some point. -- nm* - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Feb 19, 11:22
Of all the things to find on YouTube... highlights of the 1962 junior college championship. My dad was on the Coffeyville team. -- (link) - Teddy Baron Feb 19, 11:07 [youtube]
Never, and boy I mean *never* trust a trapezoid! -- (link) - prayformojo Feb 19, 11:07 1

I'm torn on whether or not I should buy a $40 programming book or just stick with clive cussler for my flight - Beryllium Feb 19, 10:51 1
- Dark Tower series is always my go-to airplane books--So Clive would win in this case. -- nm - Flavorize Feb 19, 11:01
It's raining again....and we have a tour at 1:30 :/ -- nm - Meg Feb 19, 10:50 1

I never realized how much Greta Gerwig looks like Splash-era Daryl Hannah. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 10:38 9
- Splash! -- (link) - Flavorize Feb 19, 10:47 [youtube]
- Can't we have *one* board go by without someone posting an observation about Splash? - prayformojo Feb 19, 10:40 6
  - makes a note to reference Tom Hanks and Darryl Hannah together on the next board .. - call me Ishmael Feb 19, 10:59 5
    - If Tom and Darryl were dating, in real life, it would tough to combine their names---Datom? -- nm - Flavorize Feb 19, 11:02 4
      - Dhanx. -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 12:49 1
        
        There would be so many Dhanx memes ... -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 13:51
      - Tomhanna. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 11:07 1
        
        you say "tom-hay-nah," I say "tom-hah-nah" -- nm - call me Ishmael Feb 19, 11:15
- Wait for it... -- nm - budice Feb 19, 10:38
Not much happening with BiggeST Loser. At last report JenBro down 1.03%, Bacon down .51%. JaxSean and Will Hunting haven't reported since startup. - Meg Feb 19, 10:34 6

  - It happens - concentrate on the trend. -- nm - Meg Feb 19, 11:24
As of February 19, 2017, La La Land has grossed $133.6 million in the United States and Canada and $206.1 million in other territories for a worldwide - prayformojo Feb 19, 10:22 2
- The King's Speech made about $400 mil -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 10:24 1
  - it looks like its current total would put it on par with Argo and The Departed -- nm - prayformojo Feb 19, 10:44
Velocity has a show called "What's My Car Worth?" where their experts go to an auction and give an owner an estimate before it goes up for sale. - Mop Feb 19, 09:22 4
- holy hedge fund...I think you left off a 3 in that....barrett jackson 3,825 meeeeelllliiiiion 2014 -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 13:19
- I thought the last 2 seasons when they only appraised muscle and hi end sports cars was awful -- nm* - Peglegpete Feb 19, 10:26
- They should have known better. Mecum has a bunch of L88s that sold in the 500k+ range in the past few years. -- nm - Max Feb 19, 10:03 1
  - They were at Barret Jackson so big money was assured. -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 10:08
I assume that Trump is making a big deal about the thwarted terrorist attack in S. Carolina, right? -- nm - Dano Feb 19, 09:20 1
- No one's taking the bait, so I'll just say that whites deserve better ambassadors for "supremacy" than this guy. -- nm* - Reagen Feb 19, 09:55
Maher: They brought that Milo douche back out for overtime and Larry Wilmore shredded him -- (link) - Rollo Feb 19, 08:25 [youtube] 3
- He doesn't know how to deal with people that aren't shocked by the fact that he's so QUEER! -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 09:21 2
  - The psychology of it (I think) is that he's so afraid of being targetted that he's going to give them someone else to target they hate worse. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 09:49 1
    - It seems less strategic than that to me. Like, he's just an ass who thinks he's really really interesting and wants to only interact thru that filter. -- nm - Rollo Feb 19, 09:58
"I'm not being defensive YOU'RE being defensive!" - Reince Priebus/Meet the Press - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:18 5
- I actually thought he did about as well as the Trump team could hope for this morning. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 19, 09:41 4
  - "Congratulations on literally not shitting your pants on live TV!" -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 09:48 3
    - "Man, why you gotta hold me to a higher standard than the president!" -- nm - TWuG Feb 19, 11:33
    - "Oh, great! You couldn't tell." -- nm - David's iPad Feb 19, 10:17
    - omg -- nm - mud Feb 19, 09:56
Check my logic please. Guy at church reuses coffee filters by making a pot of decaf, putting regular grounds on top of the used decaf grounds... -- (edited) - Ender Feb 19, 07:52 12
- iirc, decaf is made the 'water process' way which seems to me they make coffee and get the caffeine out the first wave, dry it again -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 12:27 1
  - If you overfill the filter basket the water will flow over the top and you will have a mess on your counter -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 14:43
- Heh, I consider myself as frugal (cheap) as they come but how much can he possibly save doing that. - Meg Feb 19, 09:37 2
  - Those 2 cents add up, you know? (NM) - Marlowe Feb 19, 10:51
  - Or is he just too lazy to dispose of them? -- nm - Meg Feb 19, 09:38
- I don't know about the caffeine level, but you're absolutely right about the bitterness. -- nm - Roger More Feb 19, 08:29 1
  - yes, that'll certainly happen. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 09:52
- Unless he's using less caffeinated grounds than he normally would it wouldn't have any less caffeine. - Cucurucu Todini Feb 19, 08:09
- I'm not sure you'll lose caffeine unless the decaf can pull it out as it passes through. Taste might be off though with those used grounds. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 08:04 3
  - My logic is that water can only pull out so much as it passes through,... - Ender Feb 19, 08:20 2
    - each compound will have a separate extraction percentage (though there would be some complex interactions) - Reagen Feb 19, 09:51
    - Unless it gets to a caffeine saturation point, which is probably far higher than any normal cup of coffee would have, I don't think it works that way. -- (edited) - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 08:23

Am I missing something, or is this yacht really ugly? -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 19, 07:43 8
- Apparently it's a Starck design. So, yeah, definitely military inspired. -- nm - VMan Feb 19, 08:53 3
  - I'm more a fan of Perini Navi, so ... that's not for me. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 08:55 2
    - There you go dragging reality into things. I knew it was a weak joke, but I was more implying that it's an Iron Boat. -- nm - VMan Feb 19, 09:03 1
      - :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 09:12
- Very ugly and like Volnelk said it looks militaristic. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 08:02 2
  - Yup, and trying to decide whether it's taking off or submerging. -- nm - Meg Feb 19, 09:32 1
    - Yes! It's an odd design. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 09:49
- It's certainly weird. Has a military vibe to it. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 19, 07:57
Movie Preivew here Tuesday: "Drunk Parents" starring Alec Bladwin and Salma Hayek (linky) - budice Feb 19, 07:25 3
- Wait.... that's not this? -- (link) - Dano Feb 19, 07:29 [youtube] 2
  - it`s like Volcano vs Dante`s Peak and Deep Impact vs Armageddon all over again -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:42
  - Salma and Bridget Moynahan up the hotness count -- (link) - budice Feb 19, 07:35
My cousin gave me a TV he no longer needed and I thought I'd give it a try as a monitor. It might be a bit too large. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 07:06 3
- Mmhmm. I had a coworker who tried that with a 4K TV. He seemed OK with it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 07:11 2
  - The picture looks pretty good though not quite as sharp as my monitor. I'll have to adjust the settings a bit and sit a little further back. :-) -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 07:13 1
    - I spent $200 on monitors yesterday. 2 24" widescreens with pivoting bases for portrait mode. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 10:52
T-2 hours till John Wick 2...giggity -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 07:05
Dragon/Falcon launch sounds successful. Landing, too. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 07:04
So... This live action Lion King movie... Do we know what's going on with that? Is it supposed to be an adaptation of the Broadway show? -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 06:17 1
- I believe that is going to be a remake in the vein of the recent Jungle Book movie. So photo realistic is probably a better description - JD Feb 19, 06:31
I`d like to send some money to help Sweden after their terrorist attack, anyone got a link? -- nm* - Beaker Feb 19, 05:31 3
- Maybe we could find that poor moose a decent date? -- (link) - Meg Feb 19, 09:29
- I think there's something being run through the Bowling Green Fund. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 06:01 1
  - Nice -- nm - Epiphany Feb 19, 06:32
It's nice to see the Yankees president bashing one of our best and most valuable players just after beating him in arbitration. Classy guy and team. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 05:14 9
- "You look at it a little differently now. I think (free agency) will be a little easier when the time comes." - Dellin Betances -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 05:42 6
  - The Yankees have work to do to repair this relationship. -- nm - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 05:57 5
    - Who else would want to come here after they see how badly they treat one of their best players? - Diva Feb 19, 06:12 4
      - That's a big issue as well. Levine bashed a hometown and homegrown kid that's been a fan his whole life. It doesn't look good and there was no reason - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 06:17 3
        
        It's not just Levine. The entire frint office would not allow one guy to be a public dick to Betances if they weren't behind the tactics. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 07:44 1
        
        You're probably right about that. Arbitration is an ugly process that never ends well even if the player wins due to what's said in the meeting. But - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 07:51
        
        And if you're one of the Baby Bombers you have to be worried about how you'll be treated in the future. - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 06:22
- I honestly can't believe what dicks they're being to him. -- nm - Diva Feb 19, 05:40 1
  - It's just Randy Levine who's been a dickhead from day one. He trashed Torre after he left and thinks the best seats should only be sat in by rich - Krusty, baseball fanatic Feb 19, 05:59
