Someone tried to intentionally put me out of LDB with an email link. I told her it doesn't work like that. - BW-8 Dec 7, 12:50 7
- I don't think I was officially in the game, but I'm out too. Co-worker was listening - sycor Dec 7, 12:55 1
  - Everyone is officially in the game. - Krusty Dec 7, 13:04
- send them a lump of coal -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 12:53
- did Diva tell you all what she did? She knows what she did. She should have to tell you. -- nm - Mel Profit Dec 7, 12:52 1
  - She told us, but not that she "did" anything. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 13:01
- That reminds me. I'm out. Stupid Pentatonix Christmas special that my wife had on in the background. - pmb Dec 7, 12:52 1
  - sorry, but thanks for the heads up, I was hoping to watch on demand. (at least you went out with a good version. :) -) -- nm - b. Dec 7, 12:55
I bet this means Apple will move manufacturing to the US and lower prices on all it's products: Apple to reap $47B benefit from the new tax plan -- (link) - decline Dec 7, 12:42 4

So here is my current thinking on my personal Bitcoin investment strategy. -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 12:40 11
- sfek, here - crash davis Dec 7, 12:49 8
  - if you are going to go all evil genius, power your cray from your own nuclear generator you salvage from a sunken sub, install it in a hollow volcano -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 12:55 5
    - Well, there are numerous old volcanoes where I live, but very few oceans. So finding the sub may take time. -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 12:57 4
      - Look here -- (link) - znufrii Dec 7, 13:03 1
        
        heh, I'd totally forgotten about that place. I drove past it a few years ago and was like "What the hell?" -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 13:06
      - geothermal heat exchanger? get some sasquatches hooked on meth and a dozen bicycles to power a generator, yeah that's the ticket -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 13:01 1
        
        that might just work, except I'd lay awake at night feeling real guilty about getting them on drugs -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 13:03
  - If you had just taken out the 30M loan and bought bitcoin yesterday you would have made 6M today and been done. -- nm - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 7, 12:53 1
    - I get real scared trying to anticipate crap like that. Fake money I can take a beating like I did with BLAIR, real money not so much -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 12:54

Trailer for Lifetime's "Tale of Two Coreys" -- (link) - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 7, 12:37 15
- yeah, I don't think I can watch this. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 12:37 14
  - Yeah, I don't see any reason why I would even think about it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 13:03 3
    - I know it is a messed up situation, but keeping it in my mind only, makes it kind of less real. - groiny Dec 7, 13:05 2
      - I'd say that I don't want to hear the names that Feldman has but at this point, so many actors/movies/etc have been completely ruined for me by these - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 7, 13:07
      - If they were both dead I might think a little differently about seeing it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 13:07
  - just the one scene in the trailer where the guy is leading him to the trailer - ty97 Dec 7, 12:44 1
    - although, I will say, that with Feldman on board with it, it should at least stay close to the facts. - groiny Dec 7, 13:07
  - other than Lost Boys, I don't think I've seen a two Coreys movie -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 12:39 7
    - it is not even about them together in movies, Lucas is a personal favorite, and Haim's demise is about as sad as anything in Hollywood. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 12:41

        yup. and Blown Away wasn't to bad either -- nm - Remlik Dec 7, 13:07
        
        Yes to both of these. -- nm - Krusty Dec 7, 12:45
        
        yeah, and Meredith Salenger. -- nm - groiny Dec 7, 12:42
eep, my sister who lives in oceanside sent me texts of a fire that's near her. 7-10 acres 45 minutes ago. nm but: -- (link) - b. Dec 7, 12:36 1
- this is such scary stuff. I'm glad people all seem to be getting out without pushing it too close to the limits... -- nm - AndIe Dec 7, 12:44
Josh Brown: Here's how to buy bitcoin, but realize it could be one giant bubble - crash davis Dec 7, 12:36 2
- That's really helpful research. - psilotum Dec 7, 12:54
- I post this not for the Bitcoin stuff, but for the fact that Giants fans know this financial analyst has a bad name to have right after #metoo is big -- nm - crash davis Dec 7, 12:37
[deleted] 1
- Ironic that the same ruling could also stop states from forcing doctors to tell lies about it though. -- nm - znufrii Dec 7, 12:47
LIR: mud. I probably would have also said yesterday Jackson was a child molester but there seems to be quite a bit pointing to facts that he was - oblique, SuperFeud Champion and Tenth Astronaut Dec 7, 12:31 2

- hmm. ok -- nm - mud Dec 7, 12:37

Anybody here use vacummable bags for out-of-season clothes storage? They work OK? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 7, 12:27 6
- mom did, the vacuum did not hold very long but did help getting a lot of stuff into a box -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 7, 13:04
- I just used them for moving. They feel like I'm creating modern art. -- nm - Reagen Dec 7, 12:44
- they work fine, but be wary of wool, it'll get weird. -- nm - colin Dec 7, 12:28 3
  - huh. how so? -- nm - prayformojo Dec 7, 12:30 2
    - wool will eventually stay permanently creased in the way it's stored. you'd have to wash and re-block to get it back to it's old self. -- nm - colin Dec 7, 12:37 1
      - I did not know this. Thx! -- nm - prayformojo Dec 7, 12:39

- You...do not have an iron? -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 12:35 4

  - I buy clothes that don't need an iron. Khakis and polos. -- nm - sycor Dec 7, 12:44 1
    - I don't steal clothes but irons are still handy on occasion! -- nm - ty97 Dec 7, 12:45
  - Of course not. He is a hetro male. -- nm - Spawn Dec 7, 12:36
- put them in the bathroom when you take a steamy shower. -- nm - colin Dec 7, 12:31
- just hang 'em up and the wrinkles will eventually smooth out -- nm - decline Dec 7, 12:29 1

  - Kicks RC in the nads - Amoxy Dec 7, 12:36
  - I have no idea. Amoxy randomly kicked me. At first I thought it might be that August Ames was a personal fave of his - crash davis Dec 7, 12:31
- nmbCrash - Epiphany Dec 7, 12:25 2
  - honestly, I got so busy with little day to day projects that I've forgotten to email them. It occurred to me last night before bed. I thought - crash davis Dec 7, 12:30 1

ST Poll: 6 restaurant brands have taken spots on GM's new in-auto commerce platform. Can you name them? -- nm* - MDH Dec 7, 12:21 41

  - so like denny's, but not 24 hours. hmm. -- nm - b. Dec 7, 12:48 3
