- The airplane wasn't invented in North Carolina, it was just first flown there. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 15:09 1
  - ^THIS^ -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 16:11
- I heard some of this on the radio yesterday. illinois was.. interesting, compared to so many of the others. -- nm - b. Jun 27, 13:45
- The credit card? Booo. We invented air conditioning and toilet paper. I live just fine without a credit card but without the other two life would suck -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 13:43 8

    - The article I read left out the part about inventing commercially available TP. - Krusty Jun 27, 13:53

  - Damn CNN for giving him a few teeth in this. -- nm - Epiphany Jun 27, 13:37 1

- Yet ANOTHER movie where she's not playing Amanda Peet's sister. Unbelieveable. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 13:02 12

    - Bell has an utterly spectacular rack - Reagen Jun 27, 13:14 9
      - sure, but from the neck up, Daddario is miles ahead of Lake. -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 13:17 8
        
        Bell is gorgeous by any normal standard. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 13:22 7
        
        I'm not sure about that. In 90% of the pictures I see she's not attractive but there are a few where she's really cute. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 13:34 1
        
        I never find her pictures attractive. On occasion, her video is. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 13:57
        
        90% of th time I find her generally unattractive. Occasionally when the light hits her just the right way . . . - pmb Jun 27, 13:23 2
        
        I didn't read your post until I was posting. I agree completely. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 13:35
        
        I agree with this. I saw her in something, where I was like, hmmm and then 5 minutes later, I was all nah. -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 13:25
        
        in Hollywood, she is meh -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 13:22 1
        
        I said normal. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 13:23
  - She... upgraded sisters. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 13:03
- People of Earth... Blunt Talk... -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 13:01
They added a lot of gyms in the re-work, didn't they? -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 12:56

- Wow, that's nuts. I've never heard of something like that and I'm sure it's been a scary time for everyone. -- nm - Krusty Jun 27, 12:54
- man, that's extra crazy. not hit by a pitch nor hit ball. :/ -- nm - b. Jun 27, 12:43
Aw -- (link) - con_carne Jun 27, 12:41 1
- Cutie -- nm - zork Jun 27, 12:53
heh. looks like one of the WH reporters finally had enough of Sarah Huckabee Sanders bullshit and totally ripped into her. -- nm - Jovian Jun 27, 12:39 8
- quick link -- (link) - Remlik Jun 27, 13:02 1
  - The reporter is Brian Karem -- nm - decline Jun 27, 13:04
- the whole presser this afternoon was just crazy. 45 min of Rick Perry rambling and then this -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:42 5
  - details, man... -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:42 4
    - Perry defended CO right to legalize pot, he stroked SHS's shoulder walking to the podium. Describes the French as "...different" -- (edited) - decline Jun 27, 12:46 3
      - right. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:47
      - want's to make nuclear energy and cocaine 'cool again'. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:47 1
        
        Man, it really is the 80s again. -- nm - Reagen Jun 27, 13:13
isn't ansel elgort like a heartthrob? also what do we think of the house? -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 27, 12:36 6
- He's got Elijah Wood Syndrome, just looks too baby-ish always -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 12:47 1
  - Agreed -- nm - Epiphany Jun 27, 13:31
- [deleted]
- I know nothing about it. -- nm - groiny Jun 27, 12:40
- I'm pretty sure ansel elgort is an anagram like setec astronomy - but right now all I've got is rot leg leans -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 12:39
- i think The House looks generic. It will do middling-fine. I feel like the audience that loved Elgort from TFIOS isn't going to be super-drawn to -- (edited) - Andie Jun 27, 12:39
What should I have for lunch? Clear fluids only. - Beryllium Jun 27, 12:28 33
- you're kinda young to be getting a colonoscopy -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 13:16 1
  - ... tell that to the polyps. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 28, 06:12
- What have I missed? -- nm - zork Jun 27, 13:10
- vanilla milk shakes -- nm - Beaker Jun 27, 13:03 2
  - that's not even a fluid! -- nm - oblique Jun 27, 13:05 1
    - Depends on the blender. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 13:09
- Apple Juice, Lemonade, Jello. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 12:38 10
  - lemonade isn't clear, unless it's faux. I was going to say apple juice, and some tea (no milk, of course). -- nm - b. Jun 27, 12:42 4
    - Mayo Clinic says it is. -- (link) - Ender Jun 27, 12:43 3
      - that's for the faux. "fruit flavored beverages." :) - (may have to avoid the fruit punch listed there, if red avoidance is also in the mix.) -- nm - b. Jun 27, 12:48 2
        
        If it doesn't have pulp what would make it not clear? It's fruit juice, sugar, and water. -- nm* - Ender Jun 27, 12:50 1
        
        note that not all juices are included - the goal is to avoid anything with particulate-type texture. - b. Jun 27, 13:06
  - A bowl full of sugar. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 12:38 4
    - I already had Sprite. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 27, 12:45
    - Gatorade. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 12:44
    - will help ALL the medicine go down -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 12:42 1
      - In the MOST delightful way. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:46
- Vodka -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 27, 12:34 4
  - I'm pretty sure the clear liquids need to be non-alcoholic -- nm - ty97 Jun 27, 12:35 3
    - Coors -- nm - peglegpete Jun 27, 12:50
    - Fine, Bud Light. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 12:42
    - ok, gin -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:36
- last week, I saw that rerun of a NCIS episode where McGee and DiNozzo were on a cleanse - water, lemon juice and a little cayenne -- nm - crash davis Jun 27, 12:33
- whiskey -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:31 1
  - Clear. - Spawn Jun 27, 12:32

  - Bery could have the same thing as my cat! -- nm - David Jun 27, 12:30
  - yeah, i mean, that's basically all i can think of. Or miso soup. -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:30 5
    - Miso soup counts as clear? -- nm - JD Jun 27, 12:32 4
      - for these purposes? I would think so. (just don't eat the tofu bits.) -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:33 3
        
        but i googled, and apparently not. -- nm* - Andie Jun 27, 12:34 2
        
        It would probably be fine if you strained it. -- nm - Ender Jun 27, 12:41 1
        
        8-) then you'd have miso-less miso soup -- nm - JD Jun 27, 13:08
Oscar Mayer Adds 'WienerDrone' to Wienermobile Fleet -- (link) - GregW Jun 27, 12:28 3
- and the WeinerDrone will fly around and drop hotdogs on people -- nm - decline Jun 27, 12:34 2
  - Who will then sue Oscar Mayer for injuries asociated with the drop - eag Jun 27, 12:47 1
    - as gawd is my witness, I thought turkey dogs could fly -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 27, 13:24
this so *very* LYC... my phone has been charging so slowly lately. I have chargers both at work and at home, no difference. - Andie Jun 27, 12:26 5
- Weird. My (old) phone gives me a slow charge warning if I use one of the "crap" cables. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:27 4
  - yeah, the cables i had were actually good ones, just old i guess. the new one is a cheapie! -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:30 3
    - yup, old cables get tired and the little robots inside the cables that carry the energy drops from the wall to your phone move slower -- (edited) - decline Jun 27, 12:33 1
      - :) -- nm - Andie Jun 27, 12:33
    - Weird. -- nm - Spawn Jun 27, 12:30
