My friend Karen's house is for sale. Listed for under a million! Total bargain here. -- (link*) - Andie Jun 16, 10:07 15

- won't the water get everywhere in that shower? -- nm - decline Jun 16, 10:09 9
  - it's a wet room. it's designed for that. (The floor is actually slatted) -- nm* - Andie Jun 16, 10:12
  - and your prices are crazy stupid -- nm - decline Jun 16, 10:09 7
    - in April, the average price of a detached house was 1.6 Million. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 10:14 5
      - and yet, almost 90% of Canada is uninhabited... -- nm - decline Jun 16, 10:17 3
        
        Well, sure, but that's because it looks like this. Nowhere to put a house. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 16, 10:21 [Image] 1
        
        I once had a lengthy argument with someone who couldn't understand that you can't build on the side of a mountain or create New Toronto out - Reagen Jun 16, 10:24
        
        Here's an axe and a bottle of water. *Salutes* have at it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 10:20
      - *smh* - znufrii Jun 16, 10:15
    - sigh. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 10:13
It's kind of tragic that Agents of Shields isn't more popular. Its consistency is Breaking Bad-ish. -- nm - David Jun 16, 10:04 18
- the first season was a snoozefest, I never went back. -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 10:09 17
  - once Winter Soldier hit it turned the corner. -- nm - Beaker Jun 16, 10:15 2
    - The show easily ranks higher than the Thor* movies for me. - Spawn Jun 16, 10:19
    - And this last season with Ghost Rider ... that was good TV. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 10:19
  - yeah - we dumped it half way in the first season and feel like maybe we missed something. I'm glad ST keeps everyone on this. If not for this sort of - Mel Profit Jun 16, 10:12 1
    - right, I might go back and rewatch it at some point, but there is so much good stuff out there. -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 10:14
  - it actually got very good - decline Jun 16, 10:11 1
    - Once they no longer were responsible for keeping Winter Soldier's secret. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 10:12
  - Truly your loss. -- nm - David Jun 16, 10:09 9
    - People expected a Marvel movie each week, not realizing season one was basically setting the stage. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 10:11 7
      - a full season is WAY too long to "set the stage", no one has that kind of time. -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 10:14 6
        
        But there's been some fantastic long running series that had to work their way through the first season like Buffy and ST:TNG - JD Jun 16, 10:18 2
        
        I do not disagree with you, but IIRC Agents of Shield was in danger of being cancelled for bad numbers - groiny Jun 16, 10:19 1
        
        That is because it is on one of the Big Three networks. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 10:24
        
        People that like good tv do. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 10:17 2
        
        STFU, people give things 3 or 4 episodes, if it puts you to sleep you move on. -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 10:18 1
        
        iirc, episode 5 hooked us. We haven't watched this season yet though. -- nm - Shaun Jun 16, 10:21
    - I can live with it. -- nm - groiny Jun 16, 10:11
Whoa, the Oregon State pitcher who's a child sex-offender did not get drafted at all. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:58 2
- And he's not even going to the College World Series. -- nm - David Jun 16, 10:02
- who drafted 2B Steve Scalise? - crash davis Jun 16, 09:59
Per Katy Tur, Trumps private lawyer has hired an attorney for himself -- (link) - Amoxy Jun 16, 09:49 26

  - Jimmy McGill also needed a lawyer. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 10:11
  - there is a big problem with your doctors vs lawyers comparison....you can't help getting sick for the most part, and - crash davis Jun 16, 10:03 12

      - Whatever, Trumpista! -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 10:09 1
        
        [deleted]
    - Meh, hiring a lawyer is not an admission of guilt. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 10:06 2
      - The fuck it isn....wait. I'm being advised by counsel to shut my mouth. -- nm - Michael Flynn Jun 16, 10:07
      - of course not, but it might mean that you are becoming a focus of an investigation -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 10:07
    - I mean this isn't news because he hired a guy to redo his will. -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 10:05 5
      - [deleted] 4
        
        okay, we don't know he got a subpoena but that would be newsworthy, ergo hiring an attorney is newsworthy -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 10:11 3
        
        to correct the above, looking at the news, he is going to testify in front of House Intelligence and the FBI wants to talk to him -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 10:19 1

  - he's creating jobs! -- nm - Tim Jun 16, 10:14 1
    - Ha! -- nm - David Jun 16, 10:20
  - It's like he's building a Legal Wall.... -- nm - JaxSean Jun 16, 10:01

  - I'd say attorney bar for the mathematical symbol, but bar has two more common meanings with lawyers -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:53
  - All being paid by yours and mine tax dollars -- nm - eag Jun 16, 09:53 1
    - actually, they don't -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:53

- Attorneys, all the way down. - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:50
as you know, I live in one of the reddest of red states. Since last August 240 MW of solar energy projects have gone online - crash davis Jun 16, 09:40
At what point does it become more reasonable to take the money you'd spend on a renovation and just look for a new house instead? -- nm* - znufrii Jun 16, 09:27 4
- probably before you start the renovations -- nm - decline Jun 16, 09:37
- Nothing wrong with looking at listings. -- nm - mara Jun 16, 09:28 1
  - I like to keep an eye open in a few areas we're interested in. It's also helpful for determining whether a reno would add much value. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:30
- at the beginning, I guess? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:28
I'm leaving in a few minutes to go help run Field Day at Abby's school. I'm running the Mummy Race. This sounds fun - prayformojo Jun 16, 09:26 2
- Please take video. -- nm - David Jun 16, 09:29
- Be 'that' judge: I think he can still breathe. Keep wrapping -- nm - JD Jun 16, 09:28
Bloomberg predicts solar energy will be cheaper than coal in 4 years. -- (link) - GregW Jun 16, 09:17 7
- until the sun goes out -- nm - decline Jun 16, 09:27 2
  - That's one of the few times where I am totally ok with pushing the problem further along in time to future generations -- nm - JD Jun 16, 09:29
  - Thank you, gov. Johnson. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 09:27
- Imagine if he was our president. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 09:23 1
  - horse racing rises in popularity, basketball decreases -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:25
- It's basically here now under the right conditions. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 09:20 1
  - indeed, the next target is cheaper than natural gas -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:24
Probably covered, but I cannot believe there's no Cosby verdict yet. With the defense offering, basically, no defense, doesn't this mean that - prayformojo Jun 16, 09:16 6
- This one has always been considered a tough case to prove. The only reason they did now was because his deposition was unsealed and allowed to be - jnine Jun 16, 09:23 1
  - hmm. thanks -- nm - prayformojo Jun 16, 09:27
- Jury bias was unavoidable. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 09:23
- Not the whole jury, but yes, it means at least one person on the jury doesn't think he's been proved guilty. -- nm* - mara Jun 16, 09:19
- There's probably a bit of "We don't buy her story" and also a "But it's Cosby!" factor. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:17
- That does seem to be what it is. Maybe jury selection paid off bigly. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:17
These thieves are geniuses. More so than even the wet bandits. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:16
Cool Cubs cap for Fathers Day -- (link) - budice Jun 16, 09:14 1

Decide my crappy free movie - i have ROE passes for both The Mummy and Baywatch. Which should I see this weekend? - Andie Jun 16, 09:14 3
- If you liked the Baywatch trailers at all, you should enjoy it. -- nm - Shaun Jun 16, 09:17 1
  - Except for, you know, walking out. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 09:42
- Kill the hostage. -- nm - mara Jun 16, 09:15
i.... kind of agree with Trump. - Andie Jun 16, 09:09 14
- The memo doesn't explicitly recommend that he be fired. -- nm - mara Jun 16, 09:21 8
  - No, it doesn't. But it certainly gave support to Trump to do so. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 09:30 7
    - But Trump said publicly that it wasn't the basis of firing him. He was going to do it anyway. This is just Trump looking for a scapegoat. - pmb Jun 16, 09:42 6
      - oh i'm not denying any of this. But, Rosenstein shouldn't have written it if he didn't believe in it. - Andie Jun 16, 09:51 3
        
        I think he will have to recuse himself from the investigation and it will be because he will also be a witness. As for whether he should have written - pmb Jun 16, 09:56
        
        also - he initially did say it was the basis, didn't he? so, he's said both (like usual.) -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 09:52 1
        
        he said it was the memo, he said it was C was running the FBI poorly, he said it was the Russia thing, he said what about Crooked Hillary, he said ... -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:56
      - he really has tried at least six or eight different arguments on this, hasn't he -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:46 1
        
        He would have been a good plaintiffs' attorney. Keep throwing it out there and hope one of the theories sticks. -- nm - jnine Jun 16, 09:47
- Okay Andie Ford. - ty97 Jun 16, 09:14
- would you still believe him if you found out that Sessions ordered R to write that memo on direction from Trump? -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:13 2
  - oh, i think he was instructed to write it, but he did it, and signed it. so, that's on him. -- nm - Andie Jun 16, 09:14 1
    - fair enough, but I have a differing view point as there was nothing in that memo I objected to (I'm not a big Comey fan) -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:21
- An intentionally wrong clock can occasionally be almost right. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 16, 09:11

has LeBron ever said he wants to play in LA? I see a bunch of media stories that want to move him there -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:00 20
- Probably not after this. -- (link) - jnine Jun 16, 09:10 1
  - I saw that. There are too many morons in the world. -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:15
- ~I'm gonna take my talents to Long Beach~ -- nm - Tim Jun 16, 09:10
- I don't think so, but someone planted a story in the media (or the media just made it up) and now, Embrace Debate! - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:05 10
  - This Bleacher Report article says the Clippers can't afford him and keep Paul, Griffin, and Jordan. They say the Lakers can, but who the hell else - crash davis Jun 16, 09:11 9
    - Easy -- he's not going to LA for a better team. He's going for more money. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:16 8
      - It makes too much sense not to have a little smoke behind it. Apparently his "empire" is based there, whatever that means. - Name Withheld by Request Jun 16, 10:07
      - I think he's going for the weather. -- nm - jnine Jun 16, 09:18 6
        
        and the football -- nm - JD Jun 16, 09:36 5
        
        Technically, he has college eligibility left on the gridiron. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:37 4
        
        His reach would be perfect for someone like Hackenberg. -- nm - jnine Jun 16, 09:44 1
        
        Let's not go that far. He can only catch about 12ft off the ground. - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:46
        
        I missed the promotion where I could have acquired him as a TE in Madden -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:41 1
        
        Not Madden Crash -- NCAA...ya know, LA's real football. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:46
- Well, he got the low boy so he is ready for change. -- nm - Spawn Jun 16, 09:03
- He has a home there -- nm - eag Jun 16, 09:01 4
  - but he hasn't said anything? -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:03 3
    - He's under contract in Cleveland. To talk would be bad. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:26 2
      - yeah, I just was wondering why the hell they would report that other than half the basketball writers seem to be disgruntled Lakers fans -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 09:28 1
        
        We're talking about it. Thus, they did their jobs. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Astronauts Jun 16, 09:30
Although AP has him at 35/64 so maybe there just are no fence sitters any more. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 08:59 6

      - Or a farce. -- nm - jnine Jun 16, 09:25
