      - As if we're not also down our own cultural cleavage path. - Name Withheld by Request Dec 8, 08:52 1
        
        oh, we are. but you can't even pretend the divide is as deep or damaging as it is in the US right now. -- nm - Andie Dec 8, 08:55
      - I'm closer, and our crows are much bigger than yours -- nm - mud Dec 8, 08:50

    - despite the broken gun, I am pondering giving trials a go at some point this weekend. -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 08:39 7
      - I think I got the rocket launcher last night you mentioned. Tracking. DIM gives it a low percentage but man, I zipped through the end of the campaign - Spawn Dec 8, 08:42 4
        
        no, the one I like does not track. I still need the Morrigan D which does track, but I may still use the new one, it is fun. - groiny Dec 8, 08:44 3

  - did you sic your minions on them instead? -- nm* - Beaker Dec 8, 08:12 2
    - Should we round them up first, then stab them or should we just start stabbing right away? -- nm - Bo-Bo Dec 8, 08:14 1
      - and which end should I stab with? One way really hurts my hand. -- nm - Bo Bo Dec 8, 08:15

  - And they have been doing this for years, now. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 08:00 2
    - So for 2 years now? They're like 12. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 8, 08:10 1
      - And incredible. -- nm - Spawn Dec 8, 08:14

- Poor persecuted racist white girl. *smh* -- nm* - znufrii Dec 8, 07:23
- "and lynched by your community" We have so many white people hanging from trees in Oregon. It's horrific. smh - Bacon Dec 8, 07:22 1

Resolved; I need to stop trying to understand Russian intonation. Wife and MIL sound like they’re yelling at each other, then: “I was just telling her - mafic Dec 8, 06:50 4
- I have that issue as well and not only with Russian speakers but they're definitely hard to read when they talk. - Krusty Dec 8, 07:08 3
  - this is also big with the Haitians I know. -- nm - Diva Dec 8, 07:34 1
    - Some Asian people as well. The Japanese often seem angry when they're really not. -- nm - Krusty Dec 8, 07:38

  - Is Chubs fireplace electric? cause if so, it is going to 11 every day when you go to work. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 8, 06:54
  - Our heat's gas. The only time we use a lot of electricity is during the summer when the AC runs -- nm - prayformojo Dec 8, 06:52 1
    - I have oild heat but an electric HWH. that's got to be it. I wonder how much my new timer will do for energy consumption. -- nm - amanda jones state university Dec 8, 06:59

    - I didn't know you had solar.sexy. -- nm - amanda jones state university Dec 8, 07:02 7
      - I want more. It’s a good spot for it. I’ll probs go battery when the government subsidy on selling back to the grid ends in 2020. - mafic Dec 8, 07:12 6
        
        I need a new roof and want to look into solar. I only have really good sun on one side of the house, though, so it might not be worth it. -- nm - amanda jones state university Dec 8, 07:17 5
        
        Time to go play with the Tesla calculator. -- nm - znufrii Dec 8, 08:19 3
        
        I just re-ran it. Costs us a net $10k over 30 years. - spamlet Dec 8, 08:42

        Similar economics here. - znufrii Dec 8, 08:40
        
        Yeah, I'd love to do it but our roof is east/west and on a hill so it never pays for itself. - spamlet Dec 8, 07:30

  - And I hope he goes to the Yankees - eag Dec 8, 07:30 2
    - We're in the same position. Good young team that played well together. We were one game from beating the eventual champs. - Krusty Dec 8, 07:35 1

  - Who cares? You'll just write it off, and pick up the next big free agent if it doesn't work out. -- nm - Inigo Dec 8, 06:50 3
    - Signed, 2009 -- nm - Diva Dec 8, 07:50
    - The Steinbrenner kids aren't as willing to do that as dear old dad was. They've worked for the last three years to get under the luxury tax. - Krusty Dec 8, 06:56 1
      - Besides, there's at least 1 better free agent next year worth that money. - Will Hunting Dec 8, 08:24
- [deleted]
- $$$$$ -- nm - budice Dec 8, 06:40 5
  - Winning. He wants to play for a playoff bound team. He's never seen the playoffs and is likely tired of watching October baseball from home. - Krusty Dec 8, 06:47 3
    - then he should have listed Cleveland as a team too. -- nm - groiny Dec 8, 08:48
    - He'd help other Yanks in the lineup too. Look at how well Bautista and Donaldson performed when they batted ahead of Encarnacion. -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 06:50 1
      - I don't have any doubt that he'd make the lineup better and scary good. Judge, Sanchez and Stanton in a row is a nightmare for even the best pitchers. -- nm - Krusty Dec 8, 06:59
  - He already has all the money. There's not much they could do to change his mind. -- nm - spamlet Dec 8, 06:40
I get that people want to bring their babies to work to show off. but if said baby cries bloody murder for 30 minutes in a suite - amanda jones state university Dec 8, 06:38

$650 Million expansion fee for the potential Seattle NHL team...$150M more than Vegas paid. I like that this will round it out at 32 teams - Beaker Dec 8, 06:12 2
- So only 50% of the teams will make the playoffs now! -- nm - Shaun Dec 8, 06:14
- it is still too many teams, but once they got up there might as well have a nice number and even it up -- nm - Beaker Dec 8, 06:13
