I am currently rewatching Parks and Rec. Some things are eerily similar to real life when Leslie tries to get elected - Guigue Aug 11, 11:42 4
- I'm watching Newsroom and the run they did about Tea Party and an uninformed electorate is eerily familiar. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 11, 12:20
- fun fact: he was supposed to be way more of a Dubya analog! -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:43 2

Quick! Name the slot receiver with the most receiving yardage the last three seasons! -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:34 22
- i'm sorry I read it as SLUT reciever. -- nm - peglegpete Aug 11, 12:00 2
  - Dawson? -- nm - MDH Aug 11, 12:05
  - definitely Edelman -- nm - Beaker Aug 11, 12:03
- Landry? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:34 18
  - I shouldn't even make this a quiz. On any other day, it's impossible to guess. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:35 17
    - given that any other day hint, I'll say Jordan Matthews -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 11:38 16
      - Yup. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:39 15
        
        Here's the top 5... - David Aug 11, 11:41 13
        
        This appears to be only the yardage they gained while lined up in the slot position. Not overall yardage for the receiver. -- nm* - Inigo Aug 11, 11:59 1
        
        Of course. -- nm - David Aug 11, 12:01
        
        Surprised not to see Edelman -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:50 1
        
        They don't use him in the slot as much these days. He gets cleaner releases against DBs than LBers. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:55
        
        my initial reaction is that the Bills had a good day -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 11:45 4
        
        my initial reaction is they have no confidence in Tyrod and are tanking for 2018 draft. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:50 2
        
        to get past the Patriots, they probably need another year -also Sammy is mercurial due to health, Matthews is consistent -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 11:55
        
        sure sounds like it -- nm - decline Aug 11, 11:51
        
        It's kind of a strange situation. - David Aug 11, 11:49
        
        I agree, but the Eagles were desperate. - decline Aug 11, 11:44 1
        
        The problem is that Darby's wildly overrated. - David Aug 11, 11:46
        
        also doubles as the list of players who won't remember their own names in 20 years. -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:42 1
        
        :( - David Aug 11, 11:44
        
        I would not have got that without the hint -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 11:40
That draft report on climate change by government scientists that the Trump admin is gonna bury but the NY Times discovered? - Mop Aug 11, 11:27 19
- A TL;DR of what the NYT actually did wrong would be appreciated - con_carne Aug 11, 11:48
- That's horrible reporting and researching. -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 11:36
- i *hate* when this stuff happens. It's justifiable fuel to the right about the left wing media 'conspiracy.' -- nm* - Andie Aug 11, 11:32 3
  - Yep. It's fake news instead of just bad reporting. -- nm - pmb Aug 11, 11:46
  - [deleted] 1
    - thank you -- nm - mud Aug 11, 11:50
- Don't worry, I'm sure they issued a 2 sentence retraction on page 492. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:31 12
  - [deleted] 11
    - Surely you realized I was being sarcastic with "page 492" -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:52 10
      - [deleted]
      - Sarcasm doesn't really work when it is directly contradicted by its target. -- nm - znufrii Aug 11, 11:54 8
        
        If WaPo wasn't behind a pay wall, I might have been able to click the link. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:55 7
        
        I was able to read it without being bothered by a paywall. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 11, 11:56 6
        
        Whenever I click on WaPo links - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:58 5
        
        Incognito mode (I know, there are good reasons for this to not be allowed at work) -- nm - Roger More Aug 11, 12:00 2
        
        Ah! Thanks. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 12:02 1
        
        FYI, I use this to get around my monthly limit of NYTimes articles as well. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 11, 12:03
        
        not on my phone it doesn't. - znufrii Aug 11, 12:00 1
        
        Yes. *opens window* -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 12:01
This is the coolest thing ever -- (link) - decline Aug 11, 11:26 8
- $12 for that? 3d printer to the rescue! -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:37 5
  - That's some Amy Thinking right there. -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 11:40
  - can you print us all up some ? -- nm - decline Aug 11, 11:37 3
    - I mean, if *i* had one. - Reagen Aug 11, 11:38 2
      - can you go buy a 3d printer and then print us all up some? -- nm - decline Aug 11, 11:40 1
        
        I would guess the plastic used would cost more than the dino thing -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 11, 12:00
- I wonder how well it will do with soft shells. Because that looks to be full of win -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 11:34
- *smashes your taco dinosaur* -- nm - my taco dinosaur Aug 11, 11:29
DuckTales. Tomorrow. What are you doing to celebrate? -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 11:20 3

    - What happened to you as a child to make you so jaded? -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 11:42
So I keep having this itch to write but without any kind of like lightbulb moment idea or anything. I'm tempted to gear up for Nanowrimo - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 11:18 3

Alexa Bliss was absolutely adorable on Sports Center. - David Aug 11, 11:17
So. China says they will defend N Korea if the US attacked first. - Jovian Aug 11, 11:14 20
- This is really why all this "We have to be tougher on North Korea" stuff carries no weight. - Inigo Aug 11, 11:23
- This is basically China trying to ratchet down the rhetoric. Them simply telling Trump to "Hey! Simmer down!" didn't work. -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 11:22
- The US attacking first would be stupidly playing into their paranoia. -- nm - Max Aug 11, 11:22
- what if the South kicks off first? Japan may get tired of their bullshit soon too -- nm* - Beaker Aug 11, 11:20 5

- back down like a puss, like he does for everything when pressed? -- nm - Reagen Aug 11, 11:17
- I thought I had heard this morning that they would be neutral. Something change since then? -- nm - amoxy Aug 11, 11:17 3
  - Only if we acted in response to an attack. - TRuMaN Aug 11, 11:19
  - *record scratch* You're probably wondering how I got into this mess -- nm - Li Xin Ping Aug 11, 11:18
  - only if they fired on us first. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 11:18

  - Per Google: Zenyatta is a retired American champion Thoroughbred racehorse, winner of 19 consecutive races in a 20-race career... -- (link) - Spawn Aug 11, 11:44
- Similar to Mumble, TeamSpeak, Ventrilo -- nm - Strongbad Aug 11, 11:12 1
  - Basically if Slack and Teamspeak had a love child -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 11:13
- I believe it's the game chat app my son uses. -- nm - Mop Aug 11, 11:12
- It's a game-chat app similar (though better) than TeamSpeak or Ventrilo. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 11, 11:11 2
  - *blink* *shrugs* - JaxSean Aug 11, 12:02 1
    - It's like a conference room for gamers to talk in. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 12:10
- Are you familiar with Slack? - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Twelfth Astronaut Aug 11, 11:11
- Think of it like IRC, yet it isn't. -- nm - TRuMaN Aug 11, 11:11
- UROLD -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:10 4
  - (I actually was checking top be sure it was not the name of their guild.) -- nm - Spawn Aug 11, 11:28 3
    - Discord ascended in popularity so quickly and dramatically that it's actually a popular choice for podcasts these days. -- nm - David Aug 11, 11:34 2
      - I'm on Discord almost daily. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 11, 11:40

  - It's the only one I would be interested in, so I will skip until vudu prolly then. - TRuMaN Aug 11, 11:17
