Carrie Fisher once gave a cow tongue to a Hollywood producer who sexually harassed her friend -- (link) - Remlik Oct 16, 10:29 5

- See, I would have used cow testicles - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:33 1
  - but enough about your friday nights. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 10:35
- That is awesome -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 10:33

I've currently got films in production in the Balkans, Louisiana, Wales and Malawi and I've had zero set visits. - LMS Oct 16, 10:25 4
- This sounds like the weirdest rap boast ever. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 10:26 3
  - ~my junk takes me round the globe, Maylay ports to Barcelone~ -- nm - Max Oct 16, 10:34
  - This is the weirdest rap boast ever -- (link) - LMS Oct 16, 10:29 [youtube]

As tempting as it was, I did *not* vote for "Stan the Man" for mayor today. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 10:11 3
- You’re leaving. Burn bridges! -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 10:18
- did you vote for Gary Bettman? -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 10:15 1
  - I booed out of habit while marking my X. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 10:17
PSA: If you have future reservations on any airline, check them every Monday. And I mean every Monday. The reservation may have changed. -- (edited) - ty97 Oct 16, 09:43 43
- btw, Travel Advisor ty97. I booked two tickets via Chase and two via United for the same flight. Both are in my United reservations on the website - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:17 6
  - Not familiar with the combining reservations option, but would totally do it - ty97 Oct 16, 10:20 4
    - Looks like it made a "Trip Plan" tying the two together - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:21 3
      - I expect it probably notated the PNRs in each other behind the scenes (hopefully). - ty97 Oct 16, 10:22 2
        
        What kilbo heard: blah blah notated blah blah notes - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:23 1
        
        hahahaha, I'm just regurgitating terms I've heard and know a little about. - ty97 Oct 16, 10:31
  - Depends on what they mean by combine. It's probably just a note in the file which is meaningless. - spamlet Oct 16, 10:20
- They changed my 9:15am flight to 9:30am! -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:15
- Kim just had this happen, too. She's now supposed to spent five hours at The Worst Place on Earth on Christmas. - David Oct 16, 10:08 6
  - Dubuque, Iowa? -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 10:11
  - How significant was the change in itinerary? - ty97 Oct 16, 10:09 4
    - I just looked. She had a layover of 94 minutes. Now, it's almost exactly four hours. -- nm - David Oct 16, 10:11 3
      - And I assume this is DL, though that should matter, but DL tends to be good about this. Nonetheless, she should get a free change. - ty97 Oct 16, 10:17 1
        
        Alternatively, she is probably eligible for a full refund of the round-trip itinerary if you want, but then she'd have to book something new - ty97 Oct 16, 10:18
      - Is there another flight she could get on? - spamlet Oct 16, 10:17
- I’m flying delta this week. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 09:58 2
  - Delta seems to make changes all the time, though most of the are minor, but every airline is making changes, and they are dreadful at notification. - ty97 Oct 16, 10:01 1
    - Thanks for the heads up. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 10:17
- [deleted] 11
  - I would escalate that one to a DL supervisor or customer service to find out why AM canceled it. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:02 10
    - [deleted] 9
      - That would be super illegal, I'm sure. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:05 8
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        DL site, DL flight number? Keep pushing and escalating, this is their problem to fix. Keep going up the line. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:07 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        I would keep pushing to have them reinstate you on AM b/c thats what you were confirmed on and it still exists - ty97 Oct 16, 10:12
        
        [deleted] 3
        
        Right, that's why I would push DL (and escalate) until they reinstate. You booked, you have confirmation, you did not change anything, it's DL's job - ty97 Oct 16, 10:07 2
        
        (assuming you booked the DL code?) -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:07 1

- We charge you $10 every time you want to check your flight, and $15 dollars on Mondays. -- nm - Spirit Airlines Oct 16, 09:55
- Got one for our flights in June this weekend but so far just a flight number change! -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 09:46 11
  - AA was making major changes to the January schedule over the weekend so you've got a while before they really screw up June :) -- nm* - ty97 Oct 16, 09:47 10
    - I had a flight number change as well, for January. - ty97 Oct 16, 09:48 9
      - Worse, it's on Delta. - spamlet Oct 16, 09:50 8
        
        Where are you flying into? Delta doesn't seem to fly to the island? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:04 5
        
        PLN. You still have to take a ferry but it's 2 hours closer than Traverse City (AA). - spamlet Oct 16, 10:05 4
        
        And you get to go through DL's DTW terminal, which is pretty nice. - ty97 Oct 16, 10:08 3
        
        Is it? Haven't been in DTW since 2010. - spamlet Oct 16, 10:16 2
        
        The Delta terminal at DTW is nice, don't think I've been in the other terminal. - ty97 Oct 16, 10:21 1
        
        Nah, was just there. Maybe time to run for pommes but I don't need to get contact high again. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 10:23
        
        oh, it will change at least 5 times between now and June - ty97 Oct 16, 09:52 1
        
        Yup. "Are we still on the flight? Do we still have seats? Ok, we're fine" -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 09:54
LYC: Caught up on the last two Orville. It's improving. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 09:42 15
- It's trying to be Star Trek but with some straightforward humor. It's...OK. I'm warming to it, but don't love it, either. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 10:27 2
  - I'm still critical of the extensive use of pop culture references. It is funnier when (spoilers) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:29 1
    - I liked that whole back and forth. But (spoils) - JaxSean Oct 16, 10:32
- It is doing what ST Discovery is not. - Spawn Oct 16, 09:43 11
  - The correct abbreviation for Star Trek: Discovery is “DIS”. - Mop Oct 16, 10:16
  - I'll never know. *gives middle finger to CBS All Access* -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 09:47 7
    - Wait for the season to end, sign up for a free month, watch it all. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 10:16 1
      - aka what Strongbad did for 7 seasons of GOT. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 16, 10:21
    - eliminate eating fast food or qdoba at least once a month and it's paid for. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 10:04 4
      - Or just wait until they offer you a free month and binge it. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 10:04 3
        
        very possibly. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 10:09 2
        
        That's how we watched Good Fight. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 10:17 1
        
        right on. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 10:23
  - incorrect. -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 09:46 1
    - Yes. -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 10:11
Destiny 2: Iron Banner joke. -- (link) - Shaun Oct 16, 09:34 15
- *exchanges Hero's Burden and Iron Banner for Uriel's Gift and Crucible* -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:36 14
  - Do you have a Uriel's Gift? If not, bummer, but if so, definitely use it. - Shaun Oct 16, 09:53 13
    - and if not, a Jiangshi AR4 is a suitable replacement. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 09:57 5
      - Is that a blue or purple? I just checked DIM and I don't have it, but if it was a blue I may have dismantled it. - JaxSean Oct 16, 10:16 2
        
        It's a purple. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 10:20
        
        no, I do not use anything blue except maybe theacking rockets I have. It is purple, you get it from gunsmith or engrams -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 10:20
      - I just got that gun on the weekend for the first time. Haven't used it. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 09:58 1
        
        ithas a perk to buff range, and a perk for stability buff. Uriels is better, but it is not that much better -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 10:21
    - Yes, I have it. I've gotten used to Lincoln's Green and Last Hope as my primaries in IB. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:56 6
      - Try running UG for awhile. While I *love* Lincoln Green and the Time-Worn Spire, they are *much* less forgiving if you aren't landing headshots. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 10:04 3
        
        I tried it but think I got used to this. I also swap for Better Devils and Manannan. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 10:26 2
        
        Do you also have a kinetic counterbalance mod to help with LG's recoil? -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 10:29 1
        
        YEs -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 10:32
      - yeah, if you get the IB pulse, I would recommend it over Lincoln's Green. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 09:58 1
        
        Agreed. It's just a touch better overall, I've found. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 09:59
B2 WH - Annie Hall had a non-linear timeline that didn't focus on the Allen-Keaton relationship until it reached the editing room -- nm - Roger More Oct 16, 09:27
"And when the meeting began to focus on gay rights, Trump reportedly pointed to Pence, joking, “Don’t ask that guy — he wants to hang them all!” - MDH Oct 16, 09:27 3
- THIS IS FINE -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 09:40
- In any other Presidency....... -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:35
- Mike, I expect you to call me Mother going forward -- nm - Trump Oct 16, 09:29
In case you are getting Destiny 2 on PC, here's the Launch Trailer. -- (link) - Shaun Oct 16, 09:25 [youtube]
This was pretty predictable: with ISIS getting wiped out, get ready for the Iraqi-Kurd Civil War -- (link) - Reagen Oct 16, 09:22 10
- It’ll be a very short war. The Kurds are organized and skilled. I’m more concerned about an incursion by the fucking Turks. - Mop Oct 16, 10:19
- I am sure Trump has planned for this. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 09:24 8
  - has a 20 day plan to fix it! -- nm - Remlik Oct 16, 09:41
  - you're arming both sides, so... -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 09:25 6
    - maximizing profit -- nm - decline Oct 16, 09:32
    - Um it's Your -- nm - Trump Oct 16, 09:26 4
      - Yeah! Reagen is arming both sides! - ty97 Oct 16, 09:34 3
        
        How else will he afford to upgrade it to sell? -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 09:49 2
        
        Lots of people haven't contemplated what having their face averaged out entails. -- nm - Reagen Oct 16, 10:11 1
        
        Hell, for me that'd be an upgrade! -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 10:22
The oldest Google Doc in my drive is from July 14, 2009. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:17
I realize once people aren't interested in a place they stop filling out details on home feedback, but: AVERAGE CONDITION? - Reagen Oct 16, 09:17 1
- yeah, those people are stupid -- nm - Epiphany Oct 16, 09:26
ty97 - recognize it? :-) -- (pic) - Meg Oct 16, 09:17 [Attachment] 1
- No joke, that road looks familiar - ty97 Oct 16, 09:20
Joni Mitchell: Fear of a Female Genius -- (link) - Beaker Oct 16, 09:16
Jax, from B2, it is not a problem. If you are better at crucible, it is better for us as a unit. - groiny Oct 16, 09:14 7
- (It's still way better [for me] than Destiny Crucible play.) - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:38 6
  - I use 2 for my sensitivity iirc. -- nm - Shaun Oct 16, 09:39 5
    - Really? I was fairly comfortable on 3, but figured my looking around was too slow. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:41 4
      - mine is set to 4, I may bump to 5, but overall, I think 4 is fine for me -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 09:48
      - I don't need to look around fast. I need to aim accurately. - Shaun Oct 16, 09:46 2
        
        Interesting. I thought I was behind the curve on that one, so was trying to get used to "faster." -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 10:28 1
        
        it is a trade off, too much sensitivity, you could turn and end up past where you want to aim. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 10:34
Apple iphone is going away -- nm - Mopsy Oct 16, 09:14
Most boring poll in ST history. How much of your Google Drive capacity are you using? - ty97 Oct 16, 09:13 15
- 1.53gb -- nm - CQ Oct 16, 09:41
- 12.35 of 17GB -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 09:33
- no clue; how do you check? -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 09:30 2
  - on drive.google.com, it says on the left hand side (below 'backups') -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:33
  - on desktop, below the left hand settings menus - Reagen Oct 16, 09:32
- 14.2 of 17gb. Most of that is Gmail. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:23
- which one? -- nm - amanda jones state university Oct 16, 09:23
- Mop told me it is going away so I have been deleting everything I have there. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 09:17 1
  - Delete faster! They’re going to bill you for anything that’s left, starting at 5 pm! -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 10:23
- I use Microsoft One Drive mostly, but I have a couple things on Google Drive maybe 500mb? -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 09:17
- 38 of 102 GB -- nm - ReluctantCynic Oct 16, 09:17 1
  - uuuuummmmmmm -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:39
- 4 of 15 (99.9% of it gmail) -- nm - decline Oct 16, 09:15 1
  - My Gmail is 10.5 of my 11 GB -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 09:18

JaxSean went loco on B2 -- nm - decline Oct 16, 09:11 6

  - OK OK, I'll change my grade for The Bourne Idenity from a meh to a meh+ -- nm - JaxSean Oct 16, 09:41 1
    - Your daughter is probably better at movie grades, too. -- nm - David Oct 16, 09:58
