  - (I opened the article). Where are these pts going that dr don't know about it. Heck I knew about it as a med student. -- nm - James Bond (aka on phone) Jul 7, 23:02 3
    - That article sounds like bullshit to me. People were using weed heavily long before it became legal in some states. Where are those people and those - Krusty Jul 8, 06:30 2
      - And what are the odds of this happening to someone? Feels like an article to scare people. -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 06:34 1
        
        I think a lot of people weren't admitting they were using when it was illegal so some doctors may not have put it together. -- nm - jnine Jul 8, 10:02
This House Hunter's name is.....Biff. He's a weightlifter who does taxidermy. His husband needs a sewing room. -- nm - Meg Jul 7, 22:15

- havent heard the incubus song, not a bad list, and you are wrong about imagine dragons. -- nm - Truman Jul 8, 04:52 1

- I am 4/5 with you and have not heard your #5, so will check it out tomorrow. -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 23:24
- Fantastic! I hadn't heard any of these--thanks for posting! That Incubus video is hilarious btw -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 21:31 2
  - I'll have to check it out. I like that it's very Incubus, almost flies in the face of that terribad Linkin Park stuff they put out. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 23:01 1
    - Agreed. The radio commercial for the LP concert doesn't play any new song snippets. Heh -- nm - Epiphany Jul 8, 06:26

    - What was the clue? -- nm - . Jul 7, 21:35
I'd seen some stuff about the Nationals "rain delay" but the Braves TV team is epic -- (link) - JD Jul 7, 19:51
Camping. So many mosquitos. It feels like Lilo and Stitch. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 19:45
If you build it, they will come. Works for tennis too. -- (link*) - GregW Jul 7, 19:33
HYPE!!! -- (link) - Spawn Jul 7, 19:08 3

- To be fair, that seemed utterly effortless. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 19:59

        yep -- nm - mud Jul 7, 19:19 7
        
        Aaron sounded exactly like one of the guys from the Frantics. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 19:22 6
        
        I don't know them. -- nm - mud Jul 7, 19:25 5
        
        boot to the head -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 19:31 4
        
        Video -- (link) - JD Jul 7, 19:56 [youtube] 3
        
        He sounded like Ed Gruberman. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 19:59 2
        
        was he going on about trashing bozos? -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 20:00 1
        
        Oh! That boot to the head -- (link) - JD Jul 7, 20:05 [youtube]
I made 2 cents on Youtube in seven years. I have made 16 cents on youtube in 19 days. Cue Jefferson's theme music -- nm - Bacon Jul 7, 18:58 2
- Nice work! Was it the barracuda video that made the breakthrough? -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 20:32 1
  - My old tubing one is cranking up cents and the conch shell dive. I think the barracuda and turtle helped drive traffic to the others. - Bacon Jul 7, 20:36
Judge! -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 18:52 1
- Judy! -- nm - Bacon Jul 7, 18:57
WWE: Austin Aries future endeavored (seems he asked for his release), AJ Styles wins US Title from Kevin Owens at MSG house show. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 18:36 13
- (David, Neville has been the best thing in the cruiserweight division all year.) -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 18:38 12
  - It's like having the best performance in a Uwe Boll movie. Nobody cares. -- nm - David's iPad Jul 7, 18:45
  - You mean that division where they wrestle less than 5 minutes and repeat the same matches over and over? -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 18:40 10
    - They've backed themselves into a corner from day one (which the podcast I listen to called right away) - Tim Jul 7, 18:44 7
      - Don't get me wrong, WWE is doing some stuff I like. Joe vs Lesner! And nearly everything on Smackdown. I'm pretty sure I'd still like NXT if I watched - Qale Jul 7, 18:47 6
        
        There's some okay stuff right now even though Brock holding the title hostage is killing Raw. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 18:52 5
        
        Joe should beat him. He won't, but he should. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 19:06 4
        
        Joe beats him, rematch at Summerslam, Joe wins. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 19:15 3
        
        Excellent. Over on Smackdown, Sami beats Jinder eventually, Baron cashes in on Sami. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 19:37 2
        
        I still think Nakamura beats Jinder at SummerSlam and Corbin immediately cashes in. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 20:08 1
        
        They won't even let Nakamura cut a promo or have a regular match. Eff that noise. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 20:25
    - I mean, I guess there is 205 Live, but I imagine that's like Superstars or what not. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 18:43 1
      - Yeah, and the poor Smackdown crowd sits on their hands for it because they were promised a Cena/Styles/Owens/Whoever dark match afterwards. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 18:48
Reds signed #2 overall pick Hunter Greene with 8 seconds left before deadline. - Volnelk Jul 7, 18:03 3
- Crazy--reminds me of the "fax snafu" that happened with the Broncos and Dumervil--only with a better outcome -- nm - Flavorize Jul 7, 21:39
- What would have been the consequences otherwise? I mean, once you're drafted, your options gotta be limited no? -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 18:10 1
  - Not in baseball. If he didn't sign, he could go to UCLA for three years and get drafted by someone else or go to juco and be in next year's draft. - Volnelk Jul 7, 18:31
Has anybody seen in a movie in Dolby Cinema i know its supose to be like IMAX cause im seeing Spider Man tomorrow on it -- nm - eag Jul 7, 17:57 6
- Dolby Cinema is basically a seal of approval and not exactly akin to IMAX. - Mop Jul 7, 18:04
- Iirc dolby is about sound quality -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 18:02 4
  - Dolby Atmos so an increased number of sound channels including ceiling mounted speakers and well as subs to be felt as well as above average digital - JD Jul 7, 18:57 2
    - They needed to call it "Atmos". The number naming was getting absurd. 5.1, 6.1, 7.1, 9.1, 11.2... -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 22:26
    - Oh and for the one time I was in a Dolby Cinema at an AMC better seating with super stadium for lack of better description - JD Jul 7, 19:01
  - They've moved past equipment manufacture and into brand licensing and certification. It's akin to THX in the early days. - Mop Jul 7, 18:08
I tried a little experiment in Montreal. In Tinder, I could get 2 matches for every 10 right-swipes. - Mop Jul 7, 17:56 1
- :( yeah back in the day I was getting tons of matches in LA. - James Bond (aka on phone) Jul 7, 23:05
Wait, Empire named one of its villains "Whiteman"? That's... not subtle. -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 17:49 1
- I'm fine with this. They're not wrong. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 17:50
ST Poll: Guess how many leans totalling how much are filed against Trump International Hotel in DC by construction firms for unpaid work? spoiler - Spawn Jul 7, 17:45 4
- The rest have either settled for pennies on the dollar or have gone into bankruptcy already -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 18:05
- All of them. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 17:50
- lien. - Reagen Jul 7, 17:49 1
  - Leans are possible too, but generally there's only one. Or zero. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 23:11
I like my new position at work. I come home not hating everyone, but certainly still quite tired. Until we open our department, hours though are bad. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 17:36 6
- $$$ -- nm - Spawn Jul 7, 17:46 2
  - No, the opposite of that. That is, until we open at our own location and get things rolling. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 18:07 1
    - -$$$ -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 18:39
- Nice. Congratulations on this. It's only a matter of time until Amazon snaps you up and makes you an executive. -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 17:45 2
  - No thanks. I'd rather work for a company that gives a shit about me. -- nm - Qale Jul 7, 18:10 1
    - Sadly, those are few and far between. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 19:07
Google Fit regularly reminds me that I'm more active than 90%+ of people in Corvallis. - Mop Jul 7, 17:26
Stephen Baldwin and Max Keiser are producing a show called “The GAP: Great American Pilgrimage”. Not sure how to feel about this one. -- (link) - GregW Jul 7, 17:17 3
- It should be noted that while (S.) Baldwin is a Trump supporter, Max's philosophies are so chaotic that I cannot pin him down. - Mop Jul 7, 17:33
- "Sell crazy someplace else, we're all stocked up here." -- nm - Mop Jul 7, 17:25
- Russian network hosted by a Trump supporter? Nah, no way this won't be a balanced presentation :/ -- nm - Meg Jul 7, 17:24
