Chicago area STers should probably avoid the Grant Park area on the 22nd. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:58 6
- What's the significance of an "event"? Will there be something special to be had there that cannot be had elsewhere? -- nm - Mop Jul 13, 11:09 3
  - I can't remember if there will be exclusives, but there will be interesting things going on (not just for those in Chicago). - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 11:21
  - P.A.G.A.N. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 11:10 1
    - i wonder if pokemon furries will show up -- nm - decline Jul 13, 11:18
- Grant Park is nice, but definitely in a touristy area. Locals will have no issue avoiding. - ty97 Jul 13, 11:04 1

A black driver was pulled over for 'really dark' windows. It was the state attorney -- (link) - crash davis Jul 13, 10:44 11
- Also, I'm bothered by this characterization. I'm supposed to believe they would have ignored a weird tag for a white driver? -- nm - Max Jul 13, 10:50 7
  - Would they have run the tag on white driver? I doubt it. -- nm - pmb Jul 13, 11:11 5
    - If the windows were tinted that dark how would they have known the race of the person driving? -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 13, 11:18 2
      - I didn't see a picture of the tinted window to determine if that is a legitimate argument. It was apparently not tinted beyond what is permitted at - pmb Jul 13, 11:21 1
        
        The article headline is basically saying nothing else is needed to determine that "because she was black" is a legitimate conclusion. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 11:25
    - You doubt that the tag runs automatically? - Max Jul 13, 11:14 1
      - If your sticker is out of date they can ticket you. In this case (as I read the article), they ran her license plate to determine if the car was - pmb Jul 13, 11:17
  - No, not at all. The police always treat blacks and whites equally. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 11:03
- "The license plate, while confidential was and remains properly registered." What does that mean? - Max Jul 13, 10:49 2
  - It means that ordinary people can't look up the registration # and identify who it is registered to, that it's a valid registration etc. Only certain - Roger More Jul 13, 10:57 1
    - but traffic cops can pull that info, so why couldn't they? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 11:12
I've had to contact Vudu support for only the second time ever - prayformojo Jul 13, 10:39 4
- F you Vudu and you're seemingly enhanced country restrictions that are making it very difficult for me to watch my content - J Jul 13, 11:21
- Their customer service is pretty lousy. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:52
- kill a chicken and look at the entrails.......oh Vudu.... -- nm - Beaker Jul 13, 10:43
- That's about what I'd expect from Vudu support. -- nm - Mop Jul 13, 10:42

Looks like shoulder charge may not be a one hit kill in Destiny 2. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:29 26
- unrelated: I took down a gym this morning with a blissey in it. I had to battle six times. come on! nmbco - windows jones Jul 13, 10:59 1
  - Was someone feeding it berries or did you have trouble killing it? - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 11:07
- There may be an exception. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:49 3
  - Makes sense as shield bash/charge is a OHK. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 10:51 2
    - How about shield throw? - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:53 1
      - I didn't see for sure, but it should be. Supers should still be OHKs in PvP. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 10:55
- question...if you pre-ordered Deastiny 2 from amazon is there a beta code? -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:40 3
  - Should be. You may need to ask them about it thru customer service. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 10:41 2
    - Right on thanks. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:45 1
      - I just had to do the exact same thing, get the code, enter it on Bungie website -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 10:49
- Also, thoughts on the changes to Control? - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:32 1
  - I'll likely play a bunch of control in the beta. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 10:33
- Suck it, Remlik! -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 10:31 1
  - oh you'll fall easily. -- nm - Remlik Jul 13, 10:39
- Thank God. It's the cheapest part of the game. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:31 11
  - after a nerf on shoulder charge a while back, I rarely see it used. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 10:53
  - I think it has some competition from sticky grenades and invisibility. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:37 9
    - A sticky grenade should kill at least one person. Running into someone with your shoulder...not really. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:53 5
      - I would agree if they hadn't nerfed tripmines. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 11:10 3
        
        Yeah it was a garbage nerf, especially as a Gunslinger main. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 11:11 2
        
        I still get a TON of kills with tripmines - groiny Jul 13, 11:18 1
        
        Most people do, but you shouldn't be getting kills on full health opponents. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 11:23
      - I don't mind a sticky killing the person it's stuck to. Being able to curve them around corners is the real problem. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 10:56
    - I hope Blink is dead. Any ability that makes a player invincible, even for minute amount of time, should not exist in PvP. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 10:40 2
      - They reduced the power of blink a while back. It's nowhere near as dominant now. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:53
      - I don't know about hunters, but warlocks apparently still have blink. - thewrongelement, bad guy Jul 13, 10:46
Hellmann’s Introduces New Meat-On-The-Bottom Mayo Cups -- (link) - ty97 Jul 13, 10:28 6
- New food idea: Bacon cups with breadstick dipping sticks. -- nm - Mop Jul 13, 11:08

- Jesus H. - prayformojo Jul 13, 10:34 2
  - (realizes something very important about this article, many minutes later) -- nm - prayformojo Jul 13, 10:37 1
    - There's onion in the mayo cups? -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 10:40
Was McKean at least nominated? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 10:18 7
- Of course not. It's the Emmys. -- nm - David Jul 13, 10:20 2
  - What was he not nominated for? -- nm - prayformojo Jul 13, 10:23 1
    - Better Call Saul -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 10:29
- no. It's a travesty -- nm - mud Jul 13, 10:19 3
  - ridiculous that he was snubbed. should have won. -- nm* - Beaker Jul 13, 10:22 2
    - but there's crazy snubs every year, with every legitimate awards -- nm - mud Jul 13, 10:24 1
      - This is a boycott-the-Emmys level snub. - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:19

These Coloradans say Earth is flat. And gravity’s a hoax. Now, they’re being persecuted. -- (link) - crash davis Jul 13, 10:17 5
- Too bad they're not being prosecuted. -- nm - Mop Jul 13, 10:41
- I put it up for entertainment value. But I have to say its a real bad headline since the only place gravity is mentioned is the headline. -- nm - crash davis Jul 13, 10:25 2
  - Also, persecuted? -- nm - Roger More Jul 13, 10:35 1
    - yeah, the article didn't make a case for persecution (at least to me) -- nm - crash davis Jul 13, 10:37
- see what happens when you legalize weed ? -- nm - decline Jul 13, 10:21

White Cop Who 'Defensively' Shot Daughter's Unarmed Black Boyfriend When He 'Reached Out to Shake His Hand' Has Third Mistrial -- (link) - Mop Jul 13, 10:06 3
- Awful. Dude has zero defense except "I'm a cop", and they won't convict. -- nm - Inigo Jul 13, 10:30 1
  - This line could apply in a lot of cases. -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 10:30
- That story is a lot darker than I expected -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 10:11
In May, when the 180-day deadline to turn in the bets passed, more than 30 percent of the tickets on the Cubs had not been cashed. -- (link) - Beaker Jul 13, 10:06 2

        but what kind of condiments? cheese? are there tomatos? - Epiphany Jul 13, 10:54 3
        
        Fresh mozzarella and balsamic vinegar. -- nm - znufrii Jul 13, 10:56 2

  - I agree that it's not unique, but maybe you're defining it differently, because I don't see it as a quintessential human trait at all. - znufrii Jul 13, 10:12 2

There are really not words for how skeptical my wife was of my suggestion to watch GLOW. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 09:52 8

Lindsey Graham just stabbed McConnell in the back -- (link) - crash davis Jul 13, 09:43 12
- “I am sitting in the Oval Office with a pen in hand, waiting for our senators to give it to me.” Doesn't it need to pass the House? -- nm - mara Jul 13, 09:47 8

    - Huh, I thought the reconciliation rules just meant it could be passed in the Senate with a simple majority. -- nm - mara Jul 13, 09:53 6
