    - We have watched it 3 times. Its okay. Do I want to see another one in the franchise? no. -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 08:46
    - The problem wasn't necessarily with the Mummy's quality as much as it was with expectations. -- nm - Mop Nov 8, 08:45

- So each iPhone X will be sold with a complimentary sheep -- nm - prayformojo Nov 8, 08:29

      - how about the dirt road? -- nm - groinY Nov 8, 08:35 1
        
        *snort* -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 08:43
  - Me too. That's a really tough situation, especially when you can't ID the cause. Hope this resolves itself fast. -- nm - prayformojo Nov 8, 08:23 1
    - it is a challenge for sure, as he is a fantastic kid otherwise. - groiny Nov 8, 08:24
- Does his teacher not email? We talk to Logan's teacher rather frequently via email. It is a great way to keep up with him. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:20 6
  - yeah, she does, but I think I would feel better about a sit down, in this case -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 08:21 5
    - Ah. I was thinking the email might be a good starting point and then if they respond with anything you could ask for a sit down. But I could see - Spawn Nov 8, 08:25 3
      - his teacher for 90% of his classes is very nice, and different. - groiny Nov 8, 08:26 2
        
        Very cool, and good to hear. Good thought on the dairy. Hopefully it is that or something like that. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:40 1
        
        A couple months ago, I got some kids probiotics to see if that helped. - groiny Nov 8, 08:44
    - good starting point. -- nm - Remlik Nov 8, 08:21
Offsite work lunches always vex me. I'm never sure whether they expect me to be at the restaurant at the start time, or to leave work at the start time... -- nm - Ender Nov 8, 08:15 1
- ?? Whenever I’ve been involved with one, there was either a reservation time at the restaurant, or a muster point/time at the office. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 08:16
Poll: Surnames that can be changed slightly to become somewhat common nicknames: eg Sullivan -> Sully, Fitzgerald -> Fitzy, Jones -> Jonesey - prayformojo Nov 8, 08:07 8

I think its 90+ degrees right now. - Jovian Nov 8, 07:54 [Attachment]
So far I’ve seen 3 requests to eliminate the auto expanding HTML textarea box and go back to the old teensy HTML input box. - Beryllium Nov 8, 07:54 17
- The new way is a vast improvement. Especially with the Android browser -- nm - TWuG, neck model Nov 8, 08:33
- No. -- nm - Mop Nov 8, 08:28
- hell yes! -- nm - mud Nov 8, 08:16
- How about a sticky post? -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 08:13 4
  - That’s kind of what the news area is meant to be for (including user contributions, which I haven’t gotten to yet) - Beryllium Nov 8, 08:15 3
    - It would be a persistent post at the top, like a regular post only maybe a different color and can’t be replied to. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 08:26 2
      - And what would the primary purpose be? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 08:42 1
        
        Replace the sliding news box completely. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 09:41
- No, I never liked the previous subjects popping up anyway. -- nm - GregW Nov 8, 08:08
- What I may end up doing, however, is converting ST’s templates into user-selectable skins. Then the problem goes away. - Beryllium Nov 8, 08:08 1
  - That'd be nifty -- nm - prayformojo Nov 8, 08:09
- What is the objection? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 8, 08:08 1
  - People want access to their subject histories. And for some, it may not be rendering the box itself correctly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 08:09
- I prefer the new way -- nm - Roger More Nov 8, 08:07
- I like the new textbox -- nm - decline Nov 8, 08:05

- Hell no! -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 07:58
So just an FYI. Avatar Flight of Passage is the best attraction in Florida. - Jovian Nov 8, 07:34 17
- Just an FYI: Strongbad will be visiting Harry Potter world next month for the 1st time. - Strongbad Nov 8, 07:50 8
  - Diagon Alley is amazing. If you buy an interactive wand, they have different places set up where the wand will animate things. It's very cool. -- nm - Inigo Nov 8, 07:53 6
    - Yea Diagon Alley is very impressive. And the interactive wand stuff is fantastic. -- nm - Jovian Nov 8, 08:04 5
      - and the butterbeer is amazing. -- nm - Inigo Nov 8, 08:09 4
        
        The frozen one. I've heard very mixed reactions on the non-frozen kind. -- nm - Shaun Nov 8, 08:11 3
        
        I loved them both. The un-frozen kind is just butterscotch cream soda, but that is amazing to me. -- nm - Inigo Nov 8, 08:13 2
        
        yeah, it was pretty damn good. -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 08:54
        
        Cool, good to hear. We had the frozen ones and they were incredible. -- nm - Shaun Nov 8, 08:14
  - I still like the original HP sim ride over the new one. I think that's an unpopular opinion. -- nm - Shaun Nov 8, 07:51
- I look forward to David's review -- nm - Remlik Nov 8, 07:48
- So just an FYI. Avatars on ST would be the best improvement bery could make. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 07:47 6
  - He's saving that for the pay version of ST -- nm - Bacon Nov 8, 07:51 5
    - I did start building one a few years ago. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 8, 07:55 1
      - With avatars!! -- nm - Bacon Nov 8, 07:56
    - Nope, I sent bery a three month payment last week. -- nm -- Spawn Nov 6 '17, 12:28 -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 07:54
    - Micro transactions and loot boxes -- nm - eag Nov 8, 07:52 1
      - hell yes -- nm - Bacon Nov 8, 07:53

Destiny : The Token farm glitch works awesome, but man is it boring. -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 07:26 23
- Why do it? They are *plentiful* just playing the game. I got 28 of them last night from our crucible games and running in the EDZ for 10 minutes. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 07:49 22
  - I am level 9 in FWC after about an hour of farming a bit, doing public events. - groiny Nov 8, 07:56 12
    - Do you have to do it solo? -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 07:59 11
      - nope -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 08:01 10
        
        Okay, guess I need to figure out how (more like where) to do it. I ran one last night but could not see where it would work. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:08 9
        
        if you are on tonight, I will hand hold you through it. - groiny Nov 8, 08:16 2
        
        (that was why I asked if you have to solo it, so you would benefit as well) -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:17 1
        
        for sure. I get bored with it after a few minutes though. - groiny Nov 8, 08:20
        
        You were active in the thread! -- (link) - Shaun Nov 8, 08:10 [Backboard] 5
        
        Last night I could find no place in that cave to leave/come back. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:16 4
        
        it is RIGHT ABOVE THE CHEST!!!!! -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 08:20
        
        Well that's your problem then! -- (edited) - Shaun Nov 8, 08:17 2
        
        I don't watch video. That is what we have David for! -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:26 1
        
        *does flip out emote* - Shaun Nov 8, 08:37
  - I got 302 in 30 mins. It's boring, but a billion times more efficient. -- nm - Shaun Nov 8, 07:50 8
    - Well, especially with the two toons now, guess I should look into it. They can pledge different factions? - Spawn Nov 8, 08:00 7
      - I like the NM shaders, but I am into the silver and maroon and gold. I use it on my warlock. -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 08:02 5
        
        I picked up a ton of shaders from Eververse last week. Golden Trace has become my Titan go to. - Spawn Nov 8, 08:06 4
        
        I am a big fan of my titan shaders - groiny Nov 8, 08:11
        
        Monochrome. -- nm - Shaun Nov 8, 08:06 2
        
        WAY too much white in them. A few pieces work okay with them, but just like in D1, we need evolution. What we really needed was a Halloween event. - Spawn Nov 8, 08:09 1
        
        I actually went with Metroshift for my Warlock as they are just too bad. -- nm - Spawn Nov 8, 08:11
      - Yes. -- nm - Shaun Nov 8, 08:01
Snack Report - my 1st A+, Malteasers. Get them at Walmart now. Amazing. - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 07:19 10
- Great, now I want Malteasers -- nm - LMS Nov 8, 07:26 5
  - *snicker* if they made them in dark chocolate, I'd never leave the house. -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 07:33 4
    - *leaves a trail of dark chocolate candy leading into the bedroom* -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 07:33 3
      - this would totally work on me. If I come up missing, this is how the kidnappers got me. - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 07:40 2
        
        just be a good hostage and do what you are told. -- nm - groiny Nov 8, 07:44 1
        
        heh heh -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 07:44
- I'm a Whoppers loyalist. -- nm* - Krusty Nov 8, 07:23 3
  - I'm hearing what you are saying, but the quality has gone down for them - have you ever tried the Malteaser? Cause I can make that happen for you. - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 07:26 2
    - We have them here. I've just never seen a reason to switch to them but I'll give them a try since you love them so much. -- nm - Krusty Nov 8, 07:27 1
      - Just give them a sample try - she said *knowingly* -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 8, 07:33
"VA in 2017 (response to Trump) is very similar to VA in 2009 (response to Obama)" -- nm - Strongbad Nov 8, 07:14 6
- This is why Virginia and New Jersey matter (the only reasons) in terms of their Year 1 elections. - Will Hunting Nov 8, 07:31 1
  - I did not know that about the VA governorship. I wondered why it was always so interesting. -- nm - Baronnosaurus Rex Nov 8, 07:40
- Source? - znufrii Nov 8, 07:22 3
  - Just something I grabbed on Twitter. - Strongbad Nov 8, 07:24 2
    - Based on how comprehensive the turnover was in legislatures, and how quick Trump turned on Gillespie - Will Hunting Nov 8, 07:37
    - Interesting, thx. -- nm - znufrii Nov 8, 07:26
