      - Mid 60s and rain showers. After triple digits last week we've gone directly to winter ;) -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 31, 21:03 1

This VV reminds me. My car service driver last week told me he also drives for Uber and Lyft. Meanwhile so many passengers have told him he - MonsterMeg Oct 31, 20:39 1

The terrorist was an Uber driver -- (link) - ty97 Oct 31, 20:30 7

- Was it necessary to say he was banned from the app? -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 20:35 4
  - Well, it’s pertinent if he was banned before today. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 20:39 3
    - It appears he was banned *because* of today -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 20:40 2
      - That seems wise, but also useless. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 20:41 1
        
        In practice, it's pretty pointless (he's not going to available to drive) but they have to do it. -- nm - ty97 Oct 31, 20:42
- Among the 8 dead: 5 Argentines, 1 Belgian -- (link) - ty97 Oct 31, 20:33

haha! -- (link) - ty97 Oct 31, 20:27
MyVegas has a number of “2 comp nights” rewards in Vegas this fall. Most expensive is 200,000 at Aria. -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 20:26 4

- I'm hoping there'll be similar deals in the spring. Mlife is also offering deals directly to cardholders/members. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 31, 20:34 2
  - Can you explain Mlife in a single subject line? -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 20:42 1

- Okay. I'm in. - ReluctCynic at home Oct 31, 20:33 1

      - It was great. - hellSpawn Oct 31, 20:36 1
        
        Here you have to be okay with witnessing men doing similar. :) (Also, I do remember one year when it rained lightly. Luckily, that was just one time.) -- nm - con_carne Oct 31, 21:12
So Roberts is going with Jansen for six outs. First three out of the way - JD Oct 31, 20:11 1

- The whole point is to make us afraid, so I refuse to let it. - ty97 Oct 31, 20:24
- I think people are "trained" to use either their lizard brain (amygdala, where fear/fight or flight operates) or a higher part of the brain - con_carne Oct 31, 19:35
- my attitude is this, and that people are basically bad at risk. you are so intensely unlikely to ever be involved in one that changing your life - mafic Oct 31, 19:28
- Same. I don't allow it to change anything about how I live my life or go through the day. - Krusty Oct 31, 19:27
- It’s like in London. Keep calm and carry on and all that. When the terrorism no longer terrorizes, it’s when they’ve lost. -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 19:17
140 so far. -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 19:13 3
- 7 so far. I usually have about 50-60. I think everyone is watching the game instead of taking their kids. -- nm - jnine Oct 31, 19:52
- 217. My record is 223. We’ll best that. -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 19:43

The bulk Twix I bought were ALL left side! -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 19:08

- My neighborhood is all townhouses. -- nm - Mop Oct 31, 19:09 1
  - Mine too, but so far zero trick or treaters. Which is good because the 2yo won’t go the eff to sleep. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 31, 19:13
why do I not watch my local ABC news? they do stupid shit like reporting a 1.6 earthquake -- (link) - peglegpete Oct 31, 19:01 3
- Was that before or after the truck went by? Or the lowrider with the amped up sound system? :-) -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 31, 19:54

    - ty is obviously the old man so... -- nm - Roger More Oct 31, 19:17 3
      - Honestly, I'm not sure either one is the better option. -- nm - Krusty Oct 31, 19:32 2

      - [deleted] 3
