Florida Gov. Scott delcares state of emergency in advance of speech racist Richard Spencer is giving at Uni of Florida... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 16, 11:30 13
- Why is the University of Florida giving this guy a forum to speak? I'm obviously in favor of free speech and opposed to the violent opposition - pmb Oct 16, 11:48 8
  - they said as a state institution they must allow all points of view to be expressed... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 16, 11:51 7
    - I understand the free speech arguments, but I don't understand why a university even public, is obligated to rent space to a non-student. - pmb Oct 16, 11:59 5
      - [deleted] 2
        
        Right. I understand that if they want to go Gainesville and meet somewhere that's permitted. For me it's about the University giving the forum. -- nm - pmb Oct 16, 12:05 1

  - I played like crap in my first Iron Banner on Friday. -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:30 7
    - Give it time. You will eventually go from playing like crap, to having occasional good games. - Spawn Oct 16, 11:34 2
      - my last 25 games, I am sit a 1.34 K/D, yesterday I was closer to 2.0 -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 11:36 1
        
        I had forgotten about look sensitivity until ST today. I think mine is still set at 6. I may need to dial that down to 5. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 11:40
    - it takes time. There are a lot of tricks and tips to get better. -- nm - groiny Oct 16, 11:34 3
      - also a lot of it is just instinctive. -- (edited) - tRuMaN Oct 16, 11:48 2
        
        sure, but since there are some variables in Destiny that are not there in Halo, it is good to have someone check out your loadout setup. - groiny Oct 16, 11:52 1
        
        that too, I keep forgetting that not everyone understands the complexities of the current setup - tRuMaN Oct 16, 11:59
  - in IB, kills dont matter. what matters is how long, and how many, control points you hold. - tRuMaN Oct 16, 11:30 4
    - the killer game I had last night, the rando team I was on controlled 2 to 3 points at all times. it was crazy...we were decimating them - Remlik Oct 16, 11:33
    - well, it does, but it depends on how many zones you control at the time of the kills. - groiny Oct 16, 11:33 2
      - true, I just mean it isnt a kills focused game. teams that work together to consistently hold two points - tRuMaN Oct 16, 11:37 1
        
        it annoys me to no end when there are multiple people capping a zone. - groiny Oct 16, 11:40
- If I set it too high it's too hard to aim. I end up moving it past where I want it because it moves so quickly. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 11:22 2
  - oh I understand, its just I've been in the 8-10 range since halo 3, everything else just feels slow. - tRuMaN Oct 16, 11:24 1

- Yeah it was 89 Saturday, rained like hell Sat night and woke up to 54 Sunday. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 11:34
- Yeah, we woke up to that. Crazy. I mowed Saturday and was *hot*. Yesterday was chilly. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 11:24 2

- This weekend was like summer. That's an abrupt change. -- nm - Max Oct 16, 11:19
Can someone give me a quick/simple breakdown on this Movies Anywhere thing, and what I need to be doing? - IrishStephen Oct 16, 11:12 5
- What David said. Also right now this appears to be an advantage to us with UV sharing because the link between MA <- Vudu -> UV allows purchases on - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 11:33
- Burn all your DVDs and Blu Rays. Gather the ashes and use them to watch your movies anywhere. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 11:14
- For right now, the only thing you need to do is create a Movies Anywhere account. - David Oct 16, 11:14 1
  - Ok, thanks! -- nm - IrishStephen Oct 16, 11:19
- It sounds like a shell game of digital rights to me! -- nm - Max Oct 16, 11:13

Heads up on a Vudu thing... - David Oct 16, 10:59 9
- FWIW,I bought BR Final Cut from Amazon last week and it shared to our group. - spamlet Oct 16, 11:23 6
  - We've run several experiments. Thus far, stuff may transfer to Vudu but not Movies Anywhere. -- nm - David Oct 16, 11:43 5
    - *shrug* This did. -- (link) - spamlet Oct 16, 11:48 4
      - I will note, I see Blade Runner in my Vudu library but not my MA or Amazon -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 11:52 3
        
        Right, that's what I mean. PFM and Kim can see movies in Vudu but they're not in MA. - David Oct 16, 11:54 2
        
        So it went to my MA but not theirs? That I didn't realize, they just said they could see it. -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 11:56 1
        
        It seems to stop at Vudu. Vudu picked up my MA linked purchases from Amazon in the shared UV group. It does not, however, seem to circle back to -- (edited) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 12:03
- So what would you suggest we... oh Dark Tower, Nevermind -- nm - Bacon Oct 16, 11:21

I mean the *whole* thing... averaged out over a face - Reagen Oct 16, 10:59
Hmm, I've never created a skymiles account. I wonder if it would let me add miles from previous flights? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 10:53 9
- I think Delta lets you claim credit up to nine months from the past, and I think that applies to new accounts as well. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:55 8
  - and Delta miles don't expire so might as well claim them. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:56 7
    - Hmm, I added the two previous trips to my new account and it says "0 miles". Should be 885 miles each. Weird. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 11:06 6
      - What's the reason code? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 11:13 5

        They are normally letters, I think? -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 11:15 2
        
        Regardless, whatever letter or number it shows, above the letter or number will be 'Reward Method' which is clickable - ty97 Oct 16, 11:18
        
        Code: Artichoke -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 11:16
        
        Note: Delta miles are price (before taxes) times a multiplier, not miles flown. - ty97 Oct 16, 11:14
Re: That controversial call yesterday in the Pats/Jets game. -- (link) - Diva Oct 16, 10:49 17
- That's crap, the ruling was crap and it was a TD. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 11:20
- at the very least, I would review that rule in the offseason - I think it should have been a TD -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:04 2
  - Yep. It's in the video. "This is one of the massive problems with this league and how it's officiated." -- nm - volnelk Oct 16, 11:15 1
    - it happened once in 100 years. I think they overstate the problem just a tad -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 11:15
- Then it's a dumb rule. If you ask 100 people that watch football & saw the replay what the result would be, how many say touchback? 1? -- nm - volnelk Oct 16, 11:04 6
  - I asked Trump, he asked what Obama thought. -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 11:06
  - I asked 100 people in Boston - 99 said touchback and then there was Dave -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 11:06 4
    - 99 touchbacks and a Gronk ain't one -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 11:15
    - this is so untrue. - Diva Oct 16, 11:06 2
      - Naw, it was my pal Sully. Here, let's ask im. Hey SuLLLLLLLLLYYYYYYY! -- nm - prayformojo Oct 16, 11:08 1
        
        effin Sully... -- nm - Diva Oct 16, 11:10
- FWIW, I think the refs got it right. - David Oct 16, 10:53 4
  - That's crap, the ruling was crap and it was a touchdown. I don't know what a catch, a fumble or a TD are anymore. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 11:18 1
    - I have more of a problem with Ty Montgomery's TD overrule. - David Oct 16, 11:42
  - IMO, he didn't lose possession unless ball touches the ground or is taken from him. - pmb Oct 16, 11:04 1
    - The ball's in the air, not in his hands. That's a fumble. - David Oct 16, 11:09
- makes sense. He lost it in air before crossed goal line./ -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 10:52
NCAA fans, would you like a good laugh? - David Oct 16, 10:48 3
- What is this baseketball you speak of? did I pronounce that right? basecatball? -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 10:53

spammy, it's exhausting, but I kinda like long layovers in a foreign gateway hub - ty97 Oct 16, 10:38 2
- I need to do a super long one at Narita again. This one is only 5 hrs so not enough time. -- nm* - spamlet Oct 16, 10:45 1
  - I wish there more connection options at HND because it is so much closer to Tokyo -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:53

Pres. Trump: "Obamacare is finished, it's dead, it's gone...There is no such thing as Obamacare anymore." -- (link) - budice Oct 16, 10:35 5
- I don't ever wish bad things on anyone but awful thoughts about him cross my mind daily. -- nm - Krusty Oct 16, 11:21
- The bigot is looking... older. -- nm - Spawn Oct 16, 11:14
- It's now TrumpCare, Donnie Jon, and you're going to be the man of the hour for the next decade -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 10:42

This has been Travel Talk. -- nm - ty97 Oct 16, 10:34 3
- Next I'm trying to decide if I need to rent a car in HI or do we think that hotel shuttles and/or Uber/Lyft is sufficient these days -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Eighth Astronaut Oct 16, 10:38 2
  - you should get 2 cars - one for you and the misses, and one for Crash -- nm - decline Oct 16, 10:41
  - I've never been to HI, so this is only general advice. - ty97 Oct 16, 10:40
