- Lost wages? Mental anguish? Really? -- nm* - znufrii Jun 16, 17:24 1
  - I'd be anguished if I thought I'd rightfully won 43 million and I received $2.25 -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 17:42
- Though it is a glitch and technically they didn't even have to pay her the dinner -- (link) - JD Jun 16, 16:29 2
  - BBC News has the selfie she took that disproves the last sentence. And if the $6,500 max was posted, the casino should have offered that. - crash davis Jun 16, 17:48 1
    - Alternately that screen showing it is printing the millions ticket on $6500 max machine clearly shows a malfunction -- (edited) - JD Jun 16, 18:07

- who is the consensus #3 pick -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:23 13
  - Likely Josh Jackson if he fits the team's needs. He could go second to the Lakers which I would both hate and love. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:30 11
    - The reason why a pre-draft deal wouldn't make sense for Boston is that... - David Jun 16, 14:32 10
      - I know Fultz is considered the #1 but the Celtics don't need another point guard. They need a 3 but there isn't one worth taking early at that spot. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 16, 14:38 9
        
        Jackson actually fills a better role for the Lakers - eag Jun 16, 16:26
        
        What I suspect is that Ainge saw that Cleveland couldn't match up with Durant. - David Jun 16, 14:39 6
        
        tough to match up with Durant when you also have to worry about the others as well :) -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:56
        
        I'm still hoping they'll see Jimmy Butler as the answer to that. Smaller, but top level defender. - pmb Jun 16, 14:49 3
        
        I think Paul George makes more sense. -- nm - David Jun 16, 14:53 2
        
        And no one is giving the Pacers much given he's already forwarding his mail to LA -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 14:54 1
        
        Exactly. And Butler is on a decent contract with the Bulls. -- nm - pmb Jun 16, 15:02
        
        Good point. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:40
        
        This is me assuming Jackson can't play the 3 in the NBA -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:39

Spieth just missed a 3-footer. Big names not good this week cept Fowler -- nm - budice Jun 16, 14:07 9
- I heard yesterday that it's about 5 hours to get through the 18 holes. 1st - HOLY FUCK! 2nd - Is that normal? -- nm - Mop Jun 16, 14:20 8
  - For the US Open, yes. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 16, 14:33
  - Sounds right to me. It would be faster if they used carts instead of walking the course but that's not happening. -- nm - Krusty Jun 16, 14:24
  - that doesn't seem out of line to me at all -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:21 5
    - In that case, see my 1st point. -- nm - Mop Jun 16, 14:23 4
      - I'm not sure I understand. -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 14:24 3

  - Scared the shit out of me! -- nm - Mop Jun 16, 14:04
I don't think HEB really ever considered Whole Foods a big competitor. We've been tops in Houston ever since I arrived. Not sure AMZN changes that. -- nm - Qale Jun 16, 13:52 19
- I mean, Kroger is right across the street but if Amazon/Whole Foods delivered, I'd do that. - Callisto Buffalomeat Jun 16, 14:33 2
  - Whole Foods delivery would be excellent. I currently go to Whole Foods maybe monthly for unsalted Kettle Chips and Apple Cider Vinegar salad dressing - JD Jun 16, 14:40
  - I'm happy to go shop but it has to be a store that caters to my tastes (my needs!!). They're all so focused on natural, organic, and - Meg Jun 16, 14:37
- My closest Whole Foods is about 8 miles away. Can't see this affecting our little local food desert right now. - Meg Jun 16, 14:24 3
  - my closest one is about 40 miles away -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 15:09 2
    - Well yes, but you're in Idaho...... - Meg Jun 16, 15:12 1
      - the amazing thing is I never go there, not after I discovered the Boise Co-op -- nm - crash davis Jun 16, 15:15
- Central Market is a Whole Food competitor, the main HEB brand is not really. -- nm - ty97 Jun 16, 14:02 4
  - It's about having grocery distribution centers in every metropolitan area. - Mop Jun 16, 14:06
  - Related: There is an HEB Plus near my brother. Always packed. They opened a Wal Mart Supercenter across the road. - ty97 Jun 16, 14:04 2
    - Yeah, we finally toppled Wal-Mart here in sales. Randalls is a joke. Kroger is starting to become one. I'm really anxious about my interview Monday. - Qale Jun 16, 14:08 1
      - I'm surprised Randalls survives there at all. - ty97 Jun 16, 14:52
- This is Amazon going *all in* on the grocery/Amazon Pantry market. Every grocer in the nation should be terrified. - Mop Jun 16, 13:57 4
  - I don't think Costco's going anywhere. -- nm - Reagen Jun 16, 14:26
  - Amazon now has brick n mortar presences in most upscale markets, Walmart has, well walmart shoppers -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 16, 14:03 1
    - And Amazon is angling for Walmart shoppers with that new discounted Prime offering -- nm - JD Jun 16, 14:41
  - I'm sure my top level bosses are concerned, but terrified, I doubt it. Our company is positioned so that if Texas ever actually does succeed, we're - Qale Jun 16, 14:02

- As is the case with all the mass shooting incidents that come to my mind. - Roger More Jun 16, 15:09
- No reason not to have. -- nm - znufrii Jun 16, 13:57
