- In my movie, the villain will be thrown against the wall and onto that. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:48
- This feels like what the villain on your version of Unforgettable gets impaled on. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 08:47 1

- On android I tap the address on the top which highlights the whole thing and then I hold my finger down which brings up the option to cut/copy. -- nm - Krusty Apr 24, 08:40
Happy 32nd birthday (yesterday) to New Coke! -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:24
ST Choose: Frontier: 309 or AA 339 + 2hr Drive OR 349 United w/o drive -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 08:24 19
- To me it's a no brainer. I pay the $40 to avoid the drive. That's a pretty significant time difference. -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 08:36 4
  - x4 so it's $160 but.... hmmm -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 09:03 1
    - you should fly United and pay the 40 bucks, and have the wife and kids drive the 2 hours and save 120 -- nm - decline Apr 24, 09:16
  - this -- nm - Beaker Apr 24, 08:50
  - But... United! -- nm - Mop Apr 24, 08:47
- Consider the add-on costs of each (Frontier is an ULCC so will have more). UA is probably your best bet here. -- (edited) - ty97 Apr 24, 08:27 7
  - That's with the "works" added to Frontier to make it equivalent -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 08:29 5
    - including seat selection? -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:30 4
      - Yeah. It's 60 per ticket for bags and seat bundle -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 08:31 3
        
        Did you add bags fees to AA and UA as well? (or have the credit card?) - ty97 Apr 24, 08:32 2
        
        I have a United card but we're really only looking at 1 carry-on typically per person -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 08:55
        
        The seats part in the IM is important. While AA and UA don't charge for seat assignments like Frontier.... - ty97 Apr 24, 08:49
  - Frontier optional fees -- (link) - ty97 Apr 24, 08:28
- No drive. -- nm - znufrii, definitely not 40 Apr 24, 08:27
- a 2 hour drive ain't work 40 bucks -- nm - decline Apr 24, 08:26 4
  - x4 on the 40 -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 08:30 3
    - I'm curious where you are going that only UA flies to -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:32 2
      - JAX. Not so much that it's only but it's the only available in our timeframe nonstop, etc. -- nm - oblique Apr 24, 08:54 1
        
        oh, fancy pants needs a non-stop! -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:56

  - what did you think of Lost City of Z ? -- nm - decline Apr 24, 08:25 3
    - i liked it. it's a quieter movie than I think is being promoted, which isn't bad. - Andie Apr 24, 08:26 2
      - cool. I really enjoyed the book -- nm - decline Apr 24, 08:27 1
        
        i expect the book is great. -- nm - Andie Apr 24, 08:27
Trump proving ratings power by saying he gave @FaceTheNation its highest #s "since the World Trade Center came down" -- (link) - ty97 Apr 24, 08:20 1

Thank you all for the birthday wishes . . . But it's Wednesday. So thanks in advance! -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 08:19 6
- You will notice I refrained. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:30
- you paid to have it moved? -- nm - groiny Apr 24, 08:20
- You can't slow down the aging process, pmb. No one can. -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:20 1
  - Don't tell me what I can't do!! -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 08:26
- oops! - Andie Apr 24, 08:19 1
  - :) -- nm - pmb Apr 24, 08:26
Melenchon has not endorsed -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:15
Ohhhhh. So he only said it was obsolete because he didnt know what NATO did. Oh thats not nearly as bad then... -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 08:12 6
- Just like Brexit is good because he does not understand what the EU is. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:14 5
  - Which is why he has now been dead silent on the French election. He knows (well he was told this obviously) that Le Pen winning would be a horrible - Jovian Apr 24, 08:22 4
    - He hasn't though - he lent some indirect support to LePen. -- nm - Reagen Apr 24, 08:28 3
      - yes, but not since Sundays results. -- nm - Jovian Apr 24, 08:35 1
        
        give him time -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 09:21
      - He really can't help himself. Especially with Obama on the other side. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:31
I didn't mean for clothing :) I am thinking of hanging some art in one bathroom, and it has yellow walls with a dark red/maroon countertop. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 24, 08:10 1
- not red/maroon art? -- nm - groiny Apr 24, 08:14

- fun stuff. I thought everyone already understood the one about the Hubble -- nm - crash davis Apr 24, 08:32 15
  - That one is kind of dumb. All telescopes "look back in time" to at least some extent. With binoculars, you're looking a few microseconds back in time. -- nm - mara Apr 24, 08:36 2
    - kid, your eyes look back in time! -- nm - crash davis Apr 24, 08:43 1
      - Exactly.. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 24, 08:55

      - This freaks me out, lots -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 09:12 1
        
        What'd freak you out more should be the other aliens are only now watching us nuke Japan. - Will Hunting Apr 24, 09:15
    - The light emitted or reflected from something still takes some time to reach us - Reagen Apr 24, 08:39
    - shirley you aren't serious -- nm - crash davis Apr 24, 08:37 4
      - I think ty's brother took over his ST account. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:41 3
        
        physics and ty97 are like oil and vinegar - ty97 Apr 24, 09:03 2
        
        It is just odd that you have never heard about it. I literally heard it yet again on the radio this morning. -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 09:06 1
        
        sounds like one of those things I probably did hear once and then quickly forgot -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 09:11
    - The farthest-away galaxies are 13.2 billion light-years from Earth, meaning their light has taken 13.2 billion years to travel to Hubble's cameras. -- (link) - mara Apr 24, 08:37 1

- Yeah, the Alaska one is cool. -- nm - volnelk Apr 24, 08:16 1
  - if a stretch based on a technicality -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:34
- What a time to be alive, when facts need to be classified as true. -- nm - Shaun Apr 24, 08:12
Without looking, can you guess what movie finished 2nd in the box office this weekend? Answer inside. - volnelk Apr 24, 08:09 3
- sure -- nm - Diva Apr 24, 08:12
- yes -- nm - Spawn Apr 24, 08:11
- I saw it posted yesterday, is the only reason I knew. Never would have guessed it -- nm - ty97 Apr 24, 08:09
