      - and her hair isn't moving at all -- nm - decline May 4, 09:32 3
        
        I assume the show will feature a ton of CGI. -- nm - Spawn May 4, 09:35 2
        
        Season 1: Episode 12: "Hey guys, we need Medusa in a ponytail this week. We've busted the CGI budget for this season" -- nm - decline May 4, 09:41 1

  - she's badass too -- nm - Beaker May 4, 09:18
  - she must make the best hairdresser ever -- nm - decline May 4, 09:16 1

    - But at least she got seen. - znufrii, definitely not 40 May 4, 09:01
  - did she get the part ? -- nm - decline May 4, 08:54 1

  - Ah ok cool also - eag May 4, 07:56 14
    - too much. It is the only phone game I play but I probably average an hour + a day. -- (edited) - Spawn May 4, 07:56 13
      - I play probably 1/2 that - but then again, my squads are not nearly as good as yours -- nm - decline May 4, 08:18 8
        
        See below. I play way more than I should. When Logan is doing homework, I even play sometimes in between checking his work. - Spawn May 4, 08:20 7

        I rarely get opinions anymore. I think I accumulated about 40 bucks total using the app -- nm - decline May 4, 09:20 1
        
        Mine slowed way down a while back. I may start lying to make myself more marketable. -- nm - Spawn May 4, 09:23
        
        I think I have ten 7* -- nm* - decline May 4, 08:22
      - I have it on my tablet, which i dont use alot - eag May 4, 08:02 3
        
        Get a bigger phone!!! I can understand that. I actually quit using my tablet because it was not worth the effort of hauling it around. - Spawn May 4, 08:19 2
        
        I have a pretty large screen, I just prefer my tablet for mobile games with the exception of Pokemon Go which is a travel game - eag May 4, 08:24 1
        
        I would love a 7" tablet with phone cababilities (like the rest of the world has). -- nm - Spawn May 4, 08:30

    - Only story I ever saw him in, so I hope to like him again! -- nm - Spawn May 4, 08:54 2
      - he was good in the one where he "killed himself" - Beaker May 4, 09:03 1
        
        Well, yeah. But after DC Rebirth, who knows. -- nm - Spawn May 4, 09:06
Thank you Nate Silver, for legitimizing my rage. -- nm - Spawn May 4, 07:36
The Supreme Court of Canada is going to consider the case of Gerard Comeau, a man who was charged for buying beer in Quebec and taking it home to NB -- (link) - Beaker May 4, 07:34 12

  - "he traded you for 2 cases of beer!" - Mel Profit May 4, 07:38
  - cheap beer (cheaper than here anyway) -- nm - Beaker May 4, 07:37
  - Cinquante -- nm - VMan May 4, 07:37
  - maple syrup flavored -- nm - Epiphany May 4, 07:37
  - dirty illegal beer -- nm - ty97 May 4, 07:36
- could kill inter-Provincial trade barriers...and I'm assuming maybe bringing in booze from the US too? May be a stretch for that though... -- nm* - Beaker May 4, 07:34 5
  - It only deals with inter provincial trade. -- nm - Reagen May 4, 07:44 3
    - While I would love to see this restriction lifted, I am puzzled as to what legal grounds the lower courts used on their decisions. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request May 4, 07:58 2
      - Some further info on the case -- (link) - VMan May 4, 08:04 1

Las Vegas sportsbooks already taking big bets on Floyd Mayweather-Conor McGregor bout -- (link) - Beaker May 4, 07:26 9
- Mayweather is now listed at -900, with McGregor +700. -- nm - Beaker May 4, 07:27 8
  - So 100 on Conor gets me 700? -- nm - J May 4, 09:19
  - Wow. I'd be going huge on Mayweather. -- nm - Strongbad May 4, 08:15 5
    - If he gets cornered and what little I know of MMA is that there's less chance for him to run - he's going to get knocked out. - Mel Profit May 4, 08:22 4
      - They are boxing. McGregor has his boxing license in place. -- nm - Strongbad May 4, 09:07 1
        
        Money has a chance then. He'll flinch and counter punch his way out of any trouble. -- nm - Mel Profit May 4, 09:14
      - But it's a boxing match right? To me it's easy. If it's a boxing match I'll take Mayweather easily. If it's an MMA fight, I take the MMA guy. -- nm - pmb May 4, 08:26 1
        
        ah. yes - if it's a boxing ring I'd probably put money on Money. - Mel Profit May 4, 08:32
  - That's incredibly too low on Mayweather unless he has lost all his speed in the last 2 years. - Will Hunting May 4, 07:39

- I may get him to 6-stars, but 7 will be hard.. - Marlowe May 4, 07:46 1
  - It is sad when you get Vader to 7 stars and then you hit accomplishments that give you Vader shards. - Spawn May 4, 07:49

Think your employer-provided insurance will save you from Trumpcare? - decline May 4, 06:44 8
