  - i feel the same way....nm - x Nov 15, 11:58
Bery, can you tell why this post didn't wrap? This rarely happens anymore, but it just goes way off the right side of the screen. -- (link) - GregW Nov 15, 11:53 1
- I think I only apply forced wrapping to subject lines, not message bodies. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 12:01
Peacock at Calgary zoo makes a break for it, lands in lion's enclosure. It ends like you think it would. :( -- (link) - Andie Nov 15, 11:49 10
- not really related, but I've been to two zoos in the past year or two, and the flamingos are never fenced in. What keeps them from leaving? -- nm* - ty97 Nov 15, 11:58 2
  - they clip the pin wings...nm - x Nov 15, 12:00
  - the lions -- nm - decline Nov 15, 12:00

Player Level up to 25, Light up to 330 without mods -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 11:34 12
- Leviathan raid level up to 300, making it more difficult on normal. -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 11:50 6
  - Raid Lair, allows you to run part of the raid as a strike for 6 players. Not a full raid. -- nm* - groiny Nov 15, 11:52 5
    - Seems like it's a completely separate raid (overall), with different encounters and a new boss/armour/weapons/cosmetics. -- nm - Shaun Nov 15, 11:54 4
      - yeah, just a short version raid with different enemies, different puzzles. -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 11:55 3
        
        And it's lair, but it sounded like layer for sure. -- nm - Shaun Nov 15, 11:58 2
        
        Layer actually makes more sense, but whatever -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 12:01

        It got some things right and it got some things wrong -- nm - Pippy Pumpkin Nov 15, 12:12
        
        Ultimate Edition was much better too. -- nm - Shaun Nov 15, 11:50 3
        
        yup. the movie has issues no doubt (to much Frank Miller influence) but it's not bad. -- nm - Remlik Nov 15, 11:59 1

- their programming was aces, but they def. had a dirtbag problem... - x Nov 15, 10:57 2

    - [deleted]
    - Really? I think Coco is nearly a Must See. -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 10:55 2
      - It was mostly timing. I'm just life-swamped and it made more sense to keep tomorrow open. But i might try to re-work that. -- nm - Andie Nov 15, 10:56 1
        
        but it's accompanied by Olaf's Frozen Adventure! -- nm mud Nov 14 '17, 10:23 -- nm - mud Nov 15, 11:33

  - my point stands. -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 10:57 1
    - In all honesty, I expect that there will be 50 minutes of really good stuff there. It is the other 69 minutes that I am dreading. -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 11:00

Does anyone have a new Fire HD8? Wondering how it is. - spamlet Nov 15, 10:40 10
- I have the 10. It is a worthy upgrade to my Fire HDX. I have had zero problems with it and getting the Google Play store on it was dead simple. -- nm* - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 15, 10:43 9

    - Pirate! -- nm - Shaun Nov 15, 10:45

      - Can you install an Android launcher to get rid of the horrid interface? - spamlet Nov 15, 10:47 2
        
        I haven't even looked into that. The interface is updated from my HDX and it's fine for what I use. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Nov 15, 10:49 1
        
        yeah, I've never had an issue with the interface -- nm - decline Nov 15, 11:12

  - glazing can cover a multitude of sins, so lets just go plain -- nm - crash davis Nov 15, 10:42 3
    - Then nay. Glazed old fashioned are the bomb though. -- nm - spamlet Nov 15, 10:43 2
      - this -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 11:15
      - especially when paired with a warm beverage. -- nm - Diva Nov 15, 10:45
dear indiana pacers, aren't you glad you re-signed lance stephenson? - x Nov 15, 10:39 9
- Sometimes I think the Pacers are really trying. - Spawn Nov 15, 10:58 1
