I saw this ad yesterday and sorta had the same reaction -- (link) - ty97 Jun 27, 08:34 4
- The ad is comparing him to Obama. Beyond that, I dunno. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 08:40 2
  - Except it's totally a false equivalence. He's from South Africa and Obama is from ... - Beryllium Jun 27, 08:41 1

- The CFL takes advertising from Bet365. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 27, 08:12 1
  - They'd probably take ads from ISIS if they thought it would get attention. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 08:33
- DFS in Fanduel and DraftKings is still around. I could see expansion. -- nm - budice Jun 27, 08:00 5
  - NFL is publicly anti but they are smart enough to realize how much of their sport's interest is tied to DFS, weekly FF and gambling. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 08:06 4
    - 1/2 the owners in the NFL are invested in the 2 DFS companies -- nm - decline Jun 27, 08:21 2
      - Exactly. They're smart enough to know it's increases their business. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 27, 08:39
      - eek! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 27, 08:33

krusty, San Diego has a well regarded zoo! -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 07:51 16
- Three's Company can't be wrong! -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 08:00 7
  - Everything I've read about San Diego is that the weather is paradise but that there is zero culture. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 08:01 6
    - Same. I've read it's the best weather in the U.S. But there's little culture which is surprising for a city with such a large population. -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 27, 08:11 5
      - The museums are right next to the zoo. The Air and Space one is really good. -- (link) - jnine Jun 27, 08:54 3
        
        This is good to know, I'm going to SAN in the fall -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 09:01 1
        
        They're small, but user friendly. -- nm - jnine Jun 27, 09:40
        
        Their baseball stadium is nice too. No football anymore. You're right next to a foreign country. You'll be able to see the wall from your apt. -- nm* - jnine Jun 27, 08:59
      - This reminds me of San Antonio. Large city, but nothing to do -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 08:13
- I know because it's better than ours, from what I've heard. - Krusty Jun 27, 07:53 7
  - I feel like you'd like Seattle. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 07:55 6
    - One of my clients said that as well. It's not a place I'd ever considered. - Krusty Jun 27, 07:56 5
      - Portland is lovely... -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 08:22
      - Eh, it's just a coffee shop. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 07:58 2
        
        I was just kidding. It's not a reason to avoid the city. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 08:13 1
        
        It's one of the small handful of cities in the US I'd consider moving to (although that won't happen for multiple reasons) -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 08:37
      - Too grunge. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 07:57
Thank God I never have to look for an apartment in NYC ever again. -- nm - znufrii Jun 27, 07:49 3

It's Tuesday so: subway tweets -- (link) - ty97 Jun 27, 07:46 18
- The order they list those in is infuriating... -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 07:53 8
  - Heh. :-) I didn't think about it but if you don't use the subway I could clearly see why. - Krusty Jun 27, 07:55 2
    - definitely looks wrong, though I also didn't even register it until Ender said it -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 07:56 1
      - Same. Didn't notice it until he said it. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 07:57
  - heh, there's a logic to that! The A and C are part of the same trunk line. The B and D are part of the same trunk line. -- nm* - ty97 Jun 27, 07:54 4
    - Though the B/C terminals were originally switched. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 27, 08:01
    - A/C -- (link) - ty97 Jun 27, 07:54 2

    - Oops, Andrew. 😂 -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 08:05
  - that's not a derailment, that's a hungry alligator trying to get into a train -- nm - decline Jun 27, 07:49
