Phew. I wasn't sure at first, but I'm definitely liking this season of Longmire. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 22:29
This app I’m playing right now will give you bonuses if you watch ads. Usually the ads are 10 seconds, maybe 30. This one’s 190 seconds. WTF? -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 22:13 3
- I would say bio break, but you are probably already on the toilet -- nm - con_carne Nov 22, 06:16

  - I almost did this last night at Twin Peaks -- nm - Pippy Nov 22, 05:01
- Has it actually settled or is it still pending? -- nm - Meg Nov 21, 21:49 1
  - This because for me it only shows the bill total not the tip which gets added when it posts. -- nm - Krusty Nov 21, 22:04
- I rarely carry cash (only when I know I need to pay for something with cash). It bugs me to think wait staff might not be getting their tips. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 21:34

Say what you will of season 2 of Mr. Robot, Season 3 is *SPECTACULAR*. The Trump pot-shots are delightful. -- nm - Mop Nov 21, 20:34 2
- I quite dislike the fact that they’re using trump, actually. He’s a taint. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 20:58 1
  - He’s an easy laugh line, just like using Obama is a nod to current times. That last episode was STILL one of the best hours of television *ever*. - Mop Nov 21, 21:02
Thinking forward, who would you keep at qb going forward, Derek Carr or DeShaun Watson? - Amoxy Nov 21, 20:31 3
- Watson has more value. If you prefer Carr, see what you can get for Watson. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 22, 05:57
- Carr, primarily because he's done it longer. There's always a chance defenses figure Watson out. - David Nov 22, 01:09
- Carr...I flipped a coin -- nm - peglegpete Nov 21, 20:33

      - Are those....tire treads? - Covington Nov 22, 02:26
  - I had a Ronco 15 years ago? 20 maybe -- nm - Bacon Nov 21, 20:31 2
    - Consumer Reports really panned the Ronco, esp as they were advertising making turkey jerky, the drying power was equal to a 150w light bulb - zeitgeist Nov 21, 20:48
    - Yep, mine was about then. Used to make jerky to take on archaeology class field trips. -- nm - Meg Nov 21, 20:36

  - Cool, thx. This one even has a jerky Gun -- (link) - Bacon Nov 21, 19:48 3
    - I don't count anything that comes out of a tube as jerky. -- nm - Ender Nov 21, 20:10

- you need to give her one of these safety masks as well. -- (link) - peglegpete Nov 21, 19:38

  - In terms of ever being considered edible by me, yes. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 19:32 3

  - I imagine it'd be easier to make any kind of fruited pie using canned goods. -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 19:23 5
    - Not better though -- nm - Roger More Nov 21, 19:28
    - Well, I'm thinking specifically of families that might can their own peaches in aug/sept in order to use them - Beryllium Nov 21, 19:26 1
      - I think they're confusing their holidays. Or being difficult for difficult sake since we don't have any fresh peaches right now. -- nm - Qale Nov 21, 19:27
    - Not apple. -- nm - Reagen Nov 21, 19:23 1
      - What about Cherry Pie? -- nm - Warrent Nov 21, 19:26
  - Were they put there by a man in a factory downtown? - spamlet Nov 21, 19:19 1
    - Even better it is streaming through Prime -- nm - spamlet Nov 21, 19:35
  - Did the Pilgrims have canning? Did the Native Americans? -- nm - Bacon Nov 21, 19:18 2
    - The concept of canning arrived in New York in 1812. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 21, 19:24
