Yay. Google Drive is going away. Who do I murder today? -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 09:02 10
- Say what now? The name right, not the actual product. -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 09:07
- "The desktop application of the Google Drive storage platform will cease to exist in March 2018. " - ty97 Oct 16, 09:06 4
  - here, PopSci article. They deprecated one service, the Drive isn't going away -- (link*) - decline Oct 16, 09:07 3
    - Yeah, huge difference between 'Drive going away' and 'desktop app going away'. - ty97 Oct 16, 09:09 2
      - they're replacing it too... so no worries. -- nm - colin Oct 16, 09:10
      - P.S. I'm going to smack Mop -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:09
- Uuummmm.......huh? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:04
- What? Where did you see that? -- nm - decline Oct 16, 09:04
- huh? -- nm - colin Oct 16, 09:03
- Wait ... what? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 16, 09:03
Let's test PFM's theory: Give a letter grade to these Doug Liman films: - David Oct 16, 08:58 17
- B, n/a, A+, A+, n/a, A+, n/a -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:13
- meh, meh, meh, meh, meh-, meh+, n/a -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:09
- N/A, N/A, A-, B-, C, A, N/A -- nm* - Beaker Oct 16, 09:07
- A at the time/B now, A+, A+, A+, C+, A+, A+. Dude's really fucking good. Edge of Tomorrow is his best, though. - David Oct 16, 09:05 1
  - Agree on Swingers--hasn't aged well. -- nm - Flavorize Oct 16, 09:07
- B-. C-, A, B+, C, A, n/a -- nm - Flavorize Oct 16, 09:03
- B+, B, A, C+, C-, A, N/A (but looks terrible). -- nm - colin Oct 16, 09:03
- A- , B, B+, B, B, N/A -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 16, 09:03
- N/A, N/A, B+, B-, C, B+, A- -- nm - MDH Oct 16, 09:03
- N/A, N/A, A (but not Liman), B-, N/A, B+, N/A - Will Hunting Oct 16, 09:01 2
  - That's an ongoing thing with him. He doesn't run a good set, but the work he gets out of actors is sublime. - David Oct 16, 09:03 1
    - WE don't know what he shot though - Will Hunting Oct 16, 09:10
- B,B+,A,A,B+,A,N/A -- nm - decline Oct 16, 09:00

I have entered "can't put it down" mode with Good Omens - con_carne Oct 16, 08:57 5
- I'm halfway through -- nm - LMS Oct 16, 09:04
- I should reread that soon so it's not fresh in my mind when I watch it. -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 08:58 3
  - Did you ever post your thoughts on Replay? -- nm - David Oct 16, 08:59 2
    - Just that I loved it. -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 09:00 1
      - Okay, good. I'd hate to have to despise you. - David Oct 16, 09:01
Some cool shit RE: gravitational waves -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 08:52
"Teddy Bridgewater has been cleared to return to practice" - David Oct 16, 08:52 1

I've heard of (practiced?) the idea that running can be therapy but this is new to me: Therapy while running -- (link*) - JD Oct 16, 08:44
Random headline: "Pathologist transporting human organs while drunk gets probation" -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:37
The Jets were good enough to beat the Pats yesterday but not them *and* the refs. - Krusty Oct 16, 08:33 4
- Terrible call--Jets would be 4-2 and in first place in their division. Jets have to decide: Is this season about winning or tanking? - Flavorize Oct 16, 09:02
- You got jobbed by the Pats just like the Raiders did with that tuck rule crap. -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 08:34 2
  - *drinks all your tears* -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 08:35 1
    - Funny thing I hate the Raiders more. I loved it at the time even though I knew how wrong it was -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 08:36
Bergdahl has pled guilty to desertion. Says he can't get a fair trial under Trump administration. -- (link*) - zork Oct 16, 08:30 3
- well pleading guilty certainly solves that... - Beaker Oct 16, 08:36
- He's pleading guilty because he's fucking guilty. Fuck that guy!! Put lives in danger -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 08:32 1
  - Take it to Twitter like any good rant. -- nm - qATLe Oct 16, 08:44
My sister-in-law reporting on Hurricane Ophelia - she lives just south of Gatwick Airport. - Meg Oct 16, 08:22 [Attachment] 6
- My favourite thing about current technology might be this - real time images and videos from everywhere. -- nm - Andie Oct 16, 08:23
- Crawley area? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 08:23 4
  - Exactly! About 15 miles south of there. Strangely enough I was born about 15 miles north. - Meg Oct 16, 08:45 3
    - Ha! What are the odds! - ty97 Oct 16, 08:46 2
      - Hee, her address is (street) Shermanbury, Nr. Horsham. - Meg Oct 16, 08:52 1
        
        So basically I probably drove past her house for three weeks - ty97 Oct 16, 09:07
Power saw kicked back and got me in the finger yesterday -- (pic) - zork Oct 16, 08:18 [Attachment] 5
- Oof! Went for stitches? -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:21 4
  - Yep. Xray also to check if the bone got chipped but got lucky there also because I had set a shallow blade depth -- nm - zork Oct 16, 08:28 3
    - *whew* Glad to hear it was just a bad cut. Chicks dig scars! -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:32 2
      - Have a reunion next weekend so I have one story to tell anyway. -- nm - zork Oct 16, 08:34 1
        
        "and here is where I almost cut off my finger to join this cult." -- nm - qATLe Oct 16, 08:48
heh, last year I submitted a hockey pool picksheet the day I got it (day season started); this year I waited till the day it was due (Friday) - Beaker Oct 16, 08:16
Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Martavis Bryant has requested a trade -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 08:13 2
- Just when you think all the weird names have been used - zork Oct 16, 08:16 1
  - ... ? -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:16
Big, if true. -- (link*) - Spawn Oct 16, 08:11 3
- Madden Curse. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 08:21 2
  - Maybe the two canceled out. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:34 1
    - Or compound! -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 09:03
"I thought you could only see college guys get pounded like that on PornHub?" - ReluctantCynic Oct 16, 08:10 1

Destiny / Iron Banner thoughts - groiny Oct 16, 07:53 26

  - oh, I was a wrecking ball last night. - groiny Oct 16, 08:55
- My LYC Iron Banner story that groiny and J missed last night - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:49 1
  - Solid way to earn a full package. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 08:52
- the armor drop rate brings up another issue about d2 (maybe issue is a strong word). - tRuMaN Oct 16, 08:40
- I haven't played IB yet. I was on Sunday but mostly played Oxenfree. - Krusty Oct 16, 08:01 17
  - and also honestly, you have to message someone if you get on and we are playing something. - groiny Oct 16, 08:53 1
    - Or if there's an opening in the fireteam, just jump in. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:06
  - What time do you get on? I like doing the daily challenges on each of the planets, so I'm usually up for that. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:39
  - to be fair, you are only playing missions and running the same strikes, it is going to get boring. - groiny Oct 16, 08:02 3
    - It is more fun with the group but I don't often see you guys. - Krusty Oct 16, 08:08 2
      - I played with Jax and J for a couple hours last night, - groiny Oct 16, 08:10 1

        Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 08:27 6
        
        It lasts one week and each day there are specific challenges that help you get rewards faster. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 08:34 5
        
        Absolute worst case scenario is 10 matches to get a package. - Shaun Oct 16, 08:40 4
        
        I suck at it, so the daily challenges I only got once or maybe twice. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 08:51 2
        
        give yourself some credit, you have gotten much better in a week. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 08:53 1
        
        Oh, I'm better, but I still am not "good." - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:08
        
        I wonder how many games I lost on to get the level 10 bonus. lets see, 10 levels is 200 tokens. - tRuMaN Oct 16, 08:42
- Like I said on B2, I only played each day to get the milestone and got gloves, armor, 3 bonds, pistol, scout and grenade launcher. I did hit the 10. - Spawn Oct 16, 08:00 1
  - I think I have all the guns. I am missing gauntlets and legs for my hunter (still). - Shaun Oct 16, 08:07
- another gear issue....... - groiny Oct 16, 07:57
I wish I owned a piece of Blumhouse. They know how to turn a little bit of money into a movie that makes lots of money. -- nm - Baronnosaurus Rex Oct 16, 07:51 4

  - It's probably impossible to lose money long term keeping budgets at $10M like they do - Reagen Oct 16, 07:54 2
    - Especially in the horror genre because you're going to get hits out of nowhere. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 07:55 1
