- And per CBO insurance premiums up 20% and 15 million more uninsured. -- nm - pmb Jul 26, 09:23 7
  - Skinny repeal has been CBO'ed? -- (edited) - ty97 Jul 26, 09:24 6
    - I read those numbers somewhere. I assumed it was CBO. I can double check. -- nm - pmb Jul 26, 09:26 5
      - You may be right, I'm asking seriously b/c I just can't keep track at this point. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:27 4
        
        My assuption is that the skinny repeal consists of only 2-3 provisions, and each has been assessed by the CBO as part of other bills. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 09:27
        
        Yes, it looks like they did. -- (link) - pmb Jul 26, 09:27 2
        
        Ah, they scored it last year, interesting -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:28 1
        
        (and thanks) -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:29
- I don't get the logic of this. If they vote to kill the ACA (which skinny repeal does), they own that. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:23 3
  - Dono is only worried about his base. They hate Obamacare because of the name. I think they've calculated if he just holds the base, he can win the - jnine Jul 26, 09:37
  - Its not dying, of course, they are just slowly trying to kill it right now -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:24

Speaking of English cussing, I love how Red Dwarf used smeg all the time. -- nm - zork Jul 26, 09:20 2

- And Firefly's Chinese. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 09:21
I'm kind of surprised at McCain's statement. I think I would have expected any GOP president to issue a similar order. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 09:19 3
- At this point, I'm convinced he has a 3-ring binder of lightning rod explosive EO-type issue - Strongbad Jul 26, 09:24
- [deleted]
- I don't know that I agree. I would never have expected a GOP president to order trans people to be allowed in the military, but I think a lot of them - pmb Jul 26, 09:22
TY! What is going on with healthcare? Jeebus, I don't keep you around for your insight on sports movies. -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:08 28
- Bernie and the other Oregon Senator are currently speaking -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:23
- Try this. -- (link) - mara Jul 26, 09:17 1

    - This is a real vote; they didn't even bother last week when so many people said, "NOPE." - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:18 4
      - Trump and the GOP are so desperate for a "win" they will screw the entire nation for it -- nm - Amoxy Jul 26, 09:23 3
        
        I love how Trump has said that he will sign any bill put in front of him. He literally just screams "I have no principles and care about nothing - pmb Jul 26, 09:25 2
        
        I look the most presidential when I am signing bills! -- nm - SCPOTUS Jul 26, 09:28 1
        
        Or when you have a bill signing ceremony and leave without signing the bill. -- nm - jnine Jul 26, 09:39

- It's the bottom of the fourth and healthcare is down 51-49, but a spry upstart is ready to spread his wing and save the day. - ty97 Jul 26, 09:10 5
  - Bottom of the 4th...so we're not even halfway done? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:11 4
    - an official game is 5, innit? -- nm - mud Jul 26, 09:17 2
      - If it's a rain-out. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:18 1
        
        [lightning crack] .. ha ha ! -- nm - nelson Jul 26, 09:21
    - Well, some innings are a lot shorter than others, but the Senate has a lot of voting ahead and something would still need to happen in the House. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 09:13
- Roger More has seen fewer sports movies than my three-month-old grand-nephew. -- nm - David Jul 26, 09:10 8
  - that list of what he hasn't seen was quite impressive -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:15 7
    - Link? -- nm - zork Jul 26, 09:21 1
      - right here -- (link) - crash davis Jul 26, 09:23 [Backboard]
    - I can keep going! Mighty Ducks. Angels in the Outfield. Space Jam. -- nm - Roger More Jul 26, 09:20 4
      - Okay -- what sports movies have you seen? Let's go with the shorter list. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:22 1
        
        Rocky 1, III and IV, Creed, Karate Kid 1 & 2, Raging Bull, Cinderella Man, Million Dollar Baby, Tin Cup, - Roger More Jul 26, 09:27
      - What about Goon?!!?!? -- nm - Shaun Jul 26, 09:21 1
        
        No. I've seen Les Boys though. And The Rocket -- nm* - Roger More Jul 26, 09:22
Destiny 2 preorder bonus revealed. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 26, 09:03 2
- That's a great clip. -- nm - David Jul 26, 09:05 1
  - Hopefully it's half useful. It may just turn out to be a trash exotic. - Shaun Jul 26, 09:18
DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 26, 08:58 1
- Again... or still? -- nm - Mop Jul 26, 09:10
The President Who Kicked The Hornet's Nest. He's an expert at throwing chaff. - Beryllium Jul 26, 08:56 1
- Worst. Prez. Ever. he is less than zero in every catagory -- nm - mud Jul 26, 08:58
Krusty alert: Best Pizza in NYC for every budget. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 26, 08:54 26
- New Park Pizza looks like Ellio's. -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 09:15
- Everything above the $2 slice isn't worth it. Man, that's some awful looking pizza -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 09:09 2
  - Troll harder. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 09:16
  - Joe's is *great* you heretic -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:10
- That L&B and Totonno's aren't on the list but DiFara is twice makes me very angry. This list is now a complete fail. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 09:08 2
  - three times!!!! -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:08 1
    - A lady -- nm - Lionel Richie Jul 26, 09:18
- DiFara is on the list not once, but twice. Krusty gonna tear you apart -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:04 3
  - Three times!!!! -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:06
  - I just don't get the love. I despise their sauce. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 09:06 1
    - I want to try both of those cheap slice, but that 0.99 slice actually looks...good. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:07
- Dollar pieces place are an abomination* but that slice doesn't look bad -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:02 5
  - Yup. I really want to try that cheap joint in East Harlem. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 09:04
  - you should have lunch there today -- nm - decline Jul 26, 09:03 3
    - none of these are near me, alas. My neighborhood is known for gays, not pizza. -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:06 2
      - business idea! you can open a gay pizza shop in your neighborhood! -- nm - decline Jul 26, 09:08 1
        
        [deleted]
- this person really doesn't like a lot of toppings - I suppose that allows you to better evaluate the crust, sauce and cheese but still.... -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:00 5
  - If you're evaluating pizza places I'd say it's all about the regular slice. If they make that well that's all that matters. - Krusty Jul 26, 09:04 4
    - a pepperoni slut wants an evaluation of pepperoni, I've had some bad ones....but I defer to The Pizza & Hot Dog King -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:06 3
      - I get that and I guess I just haven't had bad pepperoni to worry about it. It can and will make the slice greasy. - Krusty Jul 26, 09:29
      - The odds of getting bad pepperoni in NYC (outside of a $1 place maybe) is quite low -- nm - ty97 Jul 26, 09:13 1
        
        that is good to know -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:16
- Krusty should go to each of these places and get the suggested slice and give us a review -- nm - decline Jul 26, 08:56 2
  - Youtube channel reviews! -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 09:10
  - I've eaten at a few and they're mostly right expect for that horrible, disgusting pizza from DiFara. I'd eat nearly all of the others -- nm* - Krusty Jul 26, 09:02
This is a hate move. There is no explanation but hate. How does pulling a few thousand Americans out of the military make our country safer? -- (link) - Beaker Jul 26, 08:53 1

Mandy I ship via stamps.com app and use Media mail a lot. -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 08:49 7
- media mail would have been way less costly. but it's not media I'm sending. -- nm - amanda jones state university Jul 26, 08:55 1
  - *psst* I don't send media in it either. -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 09:13
- I was a bit bummed when I played the Destiny 2 beta. No vehicles, and I remembered how much you liked riding with me -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 08:51 4
  - There are vehicles in Destiny, but alas, solo. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 08:52 3
    - a real bummer, groiny and remlik always wanted to go for rides with me -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 08:54 2
      - I miss that Halo map with the big circle. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 08:58 1
        
        I miss that rat something? square one. It spawned one of my all time favorite Halo comments (spoilers) - crash davis Jul 26, 09:02
The translation on the Trump LGBT statement always was "Muslims!" anyway. -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 08:48
What are you reading? - Amoxy Jul 26, 08:48 24
- Friend gave me a Jack Reacher to read (Night School). Never read his stuff before. Does the crew who likes Cussler/Reilly, etc. enjoy these? -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 09:00 10
  - I like Cussler, Thor, Flynn, Clancy --- I found the actual writing of Reacher to be terrible. There is no flow -- hard to believe he earns money. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:05 8
    - Okay good to know. I read the same authors my father does, and he always skipped the Reacher books. Maybe this is why. -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 09:12 1
      - I found one or two to be painful to attempt to read. - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:15
    - who is thor? - crash davis Jul 26, 09:09 5
      - A gorgeous Norse God with long flowing locks and an abnormal attachment to a metal hammer - Epiphany Jul 26, 09:12 1
        
        :) -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:17
      - Brad Thor -- it's generic super-soldier stuff...but it's written a helluva lot better than Reacher. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 09:11 1
        
        ah thanks, I actually hadn't heard of him -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:18
      - Brad Thor I believe? -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 09:11
  - love Reacher. read them all. -- nm - Beaker Jul 26, 09:03
- Listening to Anne of Avonlea on my commute. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 08:57
- I am looking to pick up Red Sparrow by Jason Matthews -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 08:53
- Rachel - some trashy vampire novel that I am going to delete half way - its horrible. next: Haunting of House Hill - Epiphany Jul 26, 08:50 5
  - House Hill or Hill House? -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 08:51 4
    - oh shit, I don't know. its from 1959. I remember that. which one did ST recommend. the new TV series coming one? -- nm - Epiphany Jul 26, 08:53 3
      - haunting of hill house -- nm - decline Jul 26, 08:54 2
        
        okay. yes, this is the one I bought. - Epiphany Jul 26, 08:55 1
        
        I think you'll really enjoy it -- nm - decline Jul 26, 08:56
- Kings of Ruin -- nm - decline Jul 26, 08:50
- Seveneves. -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 08:48 3
  - ooh, how is it? -- nm - mud Jul 26, 08:49 2
    - It's not the best thing he's ever written but it reads fast. - Reagen Jul 26, 08:52 1
      - I had trouble with the trilogy, but I could dive right into that. Thanks. -- nm - mud Jul 26, 08:54
Kaspersky's antivirus is now free. It is supposed to be aces, as long as you aren't worried about the FSB having access to your computer -- (link) - crash davis Jul 26, 08:44 5
- Kaspersky shares data with Russian government, FYI. -- nm - Mop Jul 26, 09:03 1
  - that would be the FSB -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 09:04
- That dude is criminally insane. And a criminal. -- nm - David Jul 26, 08:48 2
  - Kaspersky or McAfee? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 08:52 1
    - Kaspersky, who is an old KGB guy. McAfee's homicidal, too, just not as scary. -- nm - David Jul 26, 08:55
19. I still suck at house names. That was a really fun quiz. - David Jul 26, 08:40 13
- 19. I missed part of a scene while making dinner. -- nm - nubby Jul 26, 09:02

- 19. I muffed the - mud Jul 26, 08:44 4
  - uh, that isn't the correct answer inside -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 08:45 3
    - ? you mean the quiz is wrong so I got 20/20? wooHoo! -- nm - mud Jul 26, 08:48 2
      - nope, I'm saying its not spoilers - crash davis Jul 26, 08:49 1
        
        oh ...now I forget what I ...right, ok -- nm - mud Jul 26, 08:51

Wow... this David Price/Eckersley story is disturbing. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 26, 08:38 11
- Disturbing how? - Will Hunting Jul 26, 08:59 3
  - That professional athletes would bully an employee of the team (broadcaster) like that? And ownership is letting it happen? -- nm - Strongbad Jul 26, 09:12 2
    - Price needs to put his big boy pants on, learn how to pitch better and shut his fucking mouth. -- nm - Jovian Jul 26, 09:21 1
      - He also will never ever come close to being the pitcher Eck was. -- nm - Jovian Jul 26, 09:22
- Price not working out well in Boston was quite possibly the most predictable baseball outcome of the last few off-seasons. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 26, 08:42 2
  - He's been fine this year. And the story's about Price defending another pitcher that Eck slagged during a game. -- nm - David Jul 26, 08:45 1
    - I read this yesterday. But anyone watching would see that Price has had a prickly relationship with Boston media that he didn't have elsewhere. - Name Withheld by Request Jul 26, 08:47
- ESPN link -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 26, 08:40 3
  - Announcers shouldn't fly with the team. It creates issues like this. - David Jul 26, 08:41 2
    - Add in the Boston sports media, which from every account seems like the worst sports media in the US. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 08:53
    - I remember when beat writers used to be on team planes... that's even worse! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 26, 08:44
Weirdest. Board. Ever. - Spawn Jul 26, 08:38 [Attachment] 2
- WTF NSFWed that? -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 08:51
