I’m surprised these AR-15 modifications are legal. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 14, 12:52 2
- I think pretty much anything that does not impact fire rate is. -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 12:54 1
  - I think some of the later ones would substantially affect the fire rate. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 14, 12:54

- nicely said, very clear. -- nm - colin Nov 14, 12:43 2
  - I just hope it's enough. The nightmare scenario is this troll in office without any - Will Hunting Nov 14, 12:45 1
    - Me too. He's a piece of trash and shouldn't be in office of any kind. -- nm - colin Nov 14, 12:49
LYC: When Logan was very little, every superhero was [blank]man. Not just Spider-Man and Batman. I still think of Barry Allen as Flashman. -- nm* - Spawn Nov 14, 12:32 1
- His name isn't Phil Spiderman -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 14, 12:43
Oh no! Compuserve is shutting down forums -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 14, 12:32 3

WWE’s India “tour” is now just one show, and Jinder ain’t getting a title match. -- (link) - Tim Nov 14, 12:22 9
- So, that was a wonderful 6 months of wasted storylines. - Will Hunting Nov 14, 12:35 4
  - I forgive the latter if they keep the title on Styles and build towards AJ/Nakamura at WrestleMania. -- nm - Tim Nov 14, 12:36 3
    - They need to bust their asses to rebuild Nakamura in 4 months. - Will Hunting Nov 14, 12:39 2
      - Nakamura Plaza? -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:40 1
        
        That too! - Will Hunting Nov 14, 12:40

  - Z-pack Steroids? You mean antibiotics? -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:30 2
    - No. I mean steroids. You take 6 the first day, then 5, then 4...etc. -- nm - Qale Nov 14, 12:37 1
      - Huh. I googled and it did not come up. The times I have been on roids they had me take two per day for a week, then one per day for a week. - Spawn Nov 14, 12:39
hey groiny, re: destiny 2 from yesterday (just catching up) - tRuMaN Nov 14, 12:17 10

    - he is part of a clan, they always have a full team for trials. - groiny Nov 14, 12:47
- Dude, you were gold last night. At worst you were laughing with us about ourselves. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:21 5
  - maybe, but trying to direct Jax out of the "Basement" area was something something. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 14, 12:23 4
    - I really had never been there. I had always jumped on to the top level, I guess. - JaxSean Nov 14, 12:29 1
      - Exactly. There are times not being first person would be helpful. That might have been one. Except it was pitch black. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:30
    - I think it was worse because I had done the *exact* same thing earlier. So you had to do it twice. But you were still cool about it, I thought. - Spawn Nov 14, 12:25 1
      - i should have screen captured the nightfall completion with 1 sec left. -- (edited) - trUmAn Nov 14, 12:54

    - Yup. -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 12:05
I don't really like Kaldi's coffee, but their mocha is fantabulous. -- nm - Butterbaron Nov 14, 12:00 2
- *takes your STL hipster card* - spamlet Nov 14, 12:02 1
  - *sniff* I never qualified for one due to my lack of beard growing skills. -- nm - Butterbaron Nov 14, 12:17
Oh fuck yeah! -- nm - CQ Nov 14, 11:51

- There is no way the House and Senate can come up with one together. The two are opposite on so many factors. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:13
- P.S. This would mean your premiums would rise. -- nm - ty97 Nov 14, 12:12 1
  - P.P.S. this would also mean 13 Million people will most likely lose insurance next year -- nm - decline Nov 14, 12:14

        No one. ever. -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 14, 12:00
        
        that should not be the measuring stick. -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 11:46 8
        
        Why? The Avengers are basically a lot of B-List Marvel characters. The Justice League is the A-List of DC. -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 11:47 7

        Spawncumber is right. -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 12:00 3
        
        I wasn't using "comic sales" as my measuring stick. But you'd know for sure. -- nm - Shaun Nov 14, 12:07 2
        
        Name rec for Captain America and Hulk were A list to the public. And *maybe* they heard of Iron Man... -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 12:13
        
        Name rec, as well. How many Iron Man shirts did you ever see before the movies? Now, how many Batman, Superman, Flash, Wonder Woman and even Aquaman? -- nm - Spawn Nov 14, 12:11

- you know it is gonna be a gang bang with actors wearing Trump wigs. -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 11:23 3

Wes you can buy the sauces. Or are they still to sodium rich for you? -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 11:10 11
- I really can't do the sauces, I am off the sodium watch, but I can't see 2000mg for an oz of sauce. - groiny Nov 14, 11:12 10
  - this is what a tablespoon of sauce is (spicy garlic) - groiny Nov 14, 11:14 9
    - Good Lord! I didn't realize the sauces had that much salt. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 14, 11:19 8
      - They're horrible. I also have mentally blocked out the calories in a Culver's concrete mixer - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 14, 11:20 2
        
        I think if you find yourself in a Culvers, you probably should not be counting calories -- nm - groiny Nov 14, 11:21 1
        
        Their pot roast sandwich isn't bad at all. - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 14, 11:25
      - yeah, it was an eye opener, after the hospital trip in Feb, I figured out that my bi-weekly trip to BWW...... - groiny Nov 14, 11:20 4
        
        plus all the sodium makes you thirsty so they sell more beer -- nm - Remlik Nov 14, 11:42 3
        
        There must be a lifehacker article of low-sodium recipes out there, to make at home, I’d think. -- nm - znufrii Nov 14, 11:45 2
        
        You need a lifehacker article to know how to have less sodium in your diet? - con_carne Nov 14, 12:19
        
        Of course there are. You can buy them too -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 14, 11:50
