So I've heard of 3-alarm, 4-alarm, 5-alarm etc fires and then all-hands fires. What's the latter? - ty97 Jun 30, 09:10 5

- its when ............................................~ somebody call 911, shawty fire burning on the dance floor~ -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 09:14
- oh interesting. The all-hands going on right now is at the building that houses the Appellate Division, First Judicial Branch, Supreme Court of NY. -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 09:13
- They'll evaluate accordingly, but until ordered, it's all-hands on deck for this. - Will Hunting Jun 30, 09:12
- I expect it is more of a coloquialism than an actual designation. Probably stems from a naval or military type call for "all hands on deck" -- nm - oblique Jun 30, 09:12

- Well then, how are the child slaves getting to the Mars colony? (I'm looking at YOU, Elon...) -- nm - Ender Jun 30, 09:02 1

    - [deleted] 1
      - that is neat - you've got a contact at NYU if you ever want to teach -- nm - crash davis Jun 30, 09:01
- Sure thing, here you go. "Not Trump, majority of Americans who voted in 2016, 123 Anywhere USA" -- nm* - Qale Jun 30, 08:52 1
  - "Then we'll look for the house NEXT to the house with no numbers." -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 09:00

If you play Pokemon Go, how many raids have you done? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 30, 08:34 11
- The only raid I've succeeded in is the Magikarp. I've failed in two others. I probably could have beat the Chikorita one but I didn't walk over. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 08:42 5
  - Which ones did you fail on? - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 30, 08:52 3
    - Blastoise was both of them. I'm level 25. There were 2 people with me the first time, 5 the second. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 08:54 2
      - I don't know if that's doable with 3 people. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 30, 08:58 1
        
        I'm not really built for battling too much anyway. I do like the new gym system. Let's me get in there for at least some gold from time to time. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 09:00
  - *flashback of Logan singing the Magikarp song* - Spawn Jun 30, 08:43
- I raided every day this week except today (today, my gym's raid is level 3, no thanks). I *really* like the raid system. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:41 1
  - Some level 3 raids could be soloed by someone your level. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 30, 08:47
- Zero. It won't let me. I hit "battle" then it kicks me right back to the previous screen. (i've tried two separate gyms). - Andie Jun 30, 08:35 2
  - That is weird, and the first I've heard of it. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 30, 08:37 1
    - yeah, i get raid passes, and it lets me in, it just doesn't let me battle. Here's a thread on it... -- (link) - Andie Jun 30, 08:40
Who here has experience moving all your possessions to a city more than a day's drive away? - Max Jun 30, 08:33 31
- Not I. In fact, I think I've only been on one road trip longer than a day's drive. - Beryllium Jun 30, 09:01
- Back in the day...but those were company paid moves. Stand back and let the movers pack, load, and gone. -- nm - Meg Jun 30, 08:49
- I think it's wonderful you're relocating to Mexico City with your company. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 30, 08:46

  - I was thinking more Tornoto. - Spawn Jun 30, 08:42 1
    - How many days do you think it takes to drive from DC area to Toronto?! -- nm - ty97 Jun 30, 09:04

  - How'd you deal with the old furniture? -- nm - Max Jun 30, 08:39 7
    - Craigslist - ty97 Jun 30, 08:40 6
      - which is also how you *buy* new furniture once you get there. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:47
      - I think an amazing chick max knows suggested this to him yesterday. he must not trust her. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:47 4
        
        babe. my brain. But I started taking your advice last night! -- nm - Max Jun 30, 09:17
        
        Maybe he thought her cat was typing the message -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 09:00 1
        
        chubbers would never lead anyone astray! (oliver though....) -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 09:03
        
        she's not very reliable, you know -- nm - decline Jun 30, 08:48

    - Wow -- nm - prayformojo Jun 30, 08:45
    - Time to have a massive yard sale. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 08:44 4
      - the question is always "will this be worth your while?" I think for single people, the answer is usally no. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:46 3
        
        That's true. And there's a lot of other stuff to do in those weeks. A reddit classified for one's area is probably better than craigslist though. -- nm - Qale Jun 30, 08:51
        
        i won't do them anymore. furniture=craigslist. Other stuff=donate. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:48 1

    - I'm mulling the idea of being a remote landlord for six months and selling in the summer after reno - Max Jun 30, 08:38 1
      - your best selling time would be to list in spring, actually. so be a landlord for nine months? I don't love this. -- (edited) - amanda jones state university Jun 30, 08:44
    - to where? selling your condo? tell us details. -- nm - Andie Jun 30, 08:36

    - Yeah, we missed part of The Lumineers, too. I didn't mind at all. I thought U2 had way more energy then when I saw them in 2009. - Inigo Jun 30, 08:19 1
      - We got lucky, too. They had been sticking to the history order and finishing with a new ballad. - Spawn Jun 30, 08:24
