Heh, just saw this tweet about Coinbase and BitCoinCash -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 19, 20:01 2
- Looks like it dropped to 16k twice, one bounce to 16.5, now 17k....looks like normal -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 19, 21:05
- What's happening? -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 19, 20:08
We were so proud, we had our Christmas tree up, and lights on it, and then we all got sick and the decorating was put on hold... - IrishStephen Dec 19, 19:26 4
- I completely failed at getting our outside lights up this year. -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 19:46 2
  - Yeah, when I remembered that we had tossed ours after last Christmas I decided not to do any this year. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 19, 19:57 1
    - I had the box out and everything - znufrii Dec 19, 20:00
- LOL, we have our tree up with lights and topper no ornaments. We just decided tonight, screw the ornaments the tree this year will have lights only - Bacon Dec 19, 19:36
Looking for socks in the laundry basket... there’s a math formula in here. - Mop Dec 19, 19:18 5
- I think there is a deeper problem than math :) -- nm - peglegpete Dec 19, 19:47
- answer - znufrii Dec 19, 19:19
- Four -- nm - Meg Dec 19, 19:18 2
  - On second thoughts - how many pairs are there total. Only one pair of each would be 4, more than that and a formula would kick in. - Meg Dec 19, 19:29 1
    - no, you were right the first time. -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 19:52
Guys, guys. My experience working at a pretty large upscale movie theater during SW: TLJ weekend - con_carne Dec 19, 19:12 7
- GFB -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 19, 21:09
- Nice -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Dec 19, 19:38

- Woot!! -- nm - Epiphany Dec 19, 19:19

- Nice! -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 19:14
Yesterday I linked the news flash about our Downtown Grill offering Amazon delivery. Today I heard Doug is selling the business :( -- nm - Meg Dec 19, 19:04 2
- Oh no! I hope they don’t change it. How weird. I wonder if the delivery thing is an initiative from the new owners. -- nm - Mop Dec 19, 19:18 1
  - I don't know that there's actually a deal yet, just that Doug wants out. It's likely to go to an Asian buyer like most other businesses in town. - Meg Dec 19, 19:32
Don't care if TLJ is bad, just happy to see a movie theater packed. This should be fun. -- nm - colin Dec 19, 18:58 2
- I only like theatres with 3 people in them. Crow. Servo. And some dude in a jumpsuit. -- nm - Qale Dec 19, 18:59 1
  - (It's super awkward when Qale shows up and there's already a dude in a jumpsuit. It's such a pain to go back out to the car for his baseball glove hat.) -- nm - Ender Dec 19, 19:10
Mariah Carey has earned $60m in royalties from All I want.... -- nm - spamlet Dec 19, 18:53 1

If there's a delivery fee added onto a food order, a tip isn't necessary, correct? - IrishStephen Dec 19, 18:28 9
- I still tip, but it's generally less than I usually would. -- nm - Ender Dec 19, 19:16
- just the tip -- nm - Beaker Dec 19, 18:43
- I tip -- nm - Bacon Dec 19, 18:42
- I'd still tip. I don't think the delivery charge goes to the driver -- nm - prayformojo Dec 19, 18:30 5
  - Good to know. Thanks, all. -- nm - IrishStephen Dec 19, 19:12
  - sometimes it all does, sometimes a part, sometimes none - it's maddening that it's not laid out at the time of ordering. - b. Dec 19, 18:47
  - Especially at Christmas. -- nm - mara Dec 19, 18:36
  - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Dec 19, 18:34
  - This -- nm - znufrii Dec 19, 18:32
For Comics and collectibles fans I just shared a big auction a guy I buy stuff from is holding right now on FB. A lot of old JLA stuff, Inhumans, Funkos, tons of variants... -- nm* - Beaker Dec 19, 18:28 1

- note: Liv is 40 -- nm - peglegpete Dec 19, 17:54
Charlotte and Gilly just texted me, asking oddly specific questions about Vulcan physiology. - David Dec 19, 17:44
I can think of ST kids who might do this. 5-year-old calls 911 to report the Grinch attempting to steal Christmas. -- (link) - Meg Dec 19, 17:39
I made spaghetti for dinner with Store-bought sauce, and had some veggies on the side. Mushrooms and green peppers. - Beryllium Dec 19, 17:15 8
- you need a good meatball recipe so you can make a big batch and have them in your freezer for occasions like this -- nm - peglegpete Dec 19, 17:44
- hah -- nm - Bacon Dec 19, 17:25
- [blink] ..are you new to this? -- nm - mud Dec 19, 17:20 5

Finally everyone can shut up about the Cheribundi Tart Cherry Boca Raton Bowl. It’s finally here. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 19, 16:10 3
- This will go down in history as among the most unintentionally hilarious bowl names. - BW-8 Dec 19, 17:42 1
  - Word to your IM. It’s branded on my brain. I’m not sure why but it is THE ONE that always comes to mind. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 19, 17:52
- Yay? - znufrii Dec 19, 16:58

      - Perhaps I am. I semi-apologize -- nm - crash davis Dec 19, 17:36
    - I'm pretty sure she'd be the first person Nubby would throw in a fire. Her politics are horrific. -- nm - David Dec 19, 16:15 1
      - I've got a long list of fire thrown before I get to her, but yeah, spamlet sold out his conscience for a semi-pretty face. - crash davis Dec 19, 16:18
- She still has plenty of bubble gum -- nm - amoxy Dec 19, 15:52

  - that post looks sarcastic, trust me it is not - I'm sincere -- nm - crash davis Dec 19, 17:34

- I really liked it -- nm - Remlik Dec 19, 18:20
- I'm on the last couple of episodes. I really like it. -- nm - pmb Dec 19, 16:27

- It's grrrrreat. Especially the actor who plays Ed Kemper. nm - ralph wiggum Dec 19, 15:40 2

  - Creepy AF. -- nm - Reagen Dec 19, 15:41
- Yes a group of us watched it. Very good acting. What is your favorite thing so far? -- nm - Epiphany Dec 19, 15:38 3
  - I kind of started it cold because I saw it on a few ‘best of’ lists, so I’m kind of digging just trying to figure out what it’s supposed to even be. - Volnelk Dec 19, 15:41 2
    - I agree it took a different direction but it worked out. It didn't give into tropes -- nm - Epiphany Dec 19, 19:22
    - It is a highly fictionalized look at the beginning of the Behavioral Sciences Unit, which is the favorite FBI unit of every novelist and screenwriter - crash davis Dec 19, 16:16
LIR: I agree with crash. I have no business playing for the championship in the ML Memorial League. - ReluctantCynic Dec 19, 15:17
is there a difference between chicken fried and country fried? -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 19, 15:15 7
- The difference is in the gravy (according to my late Aunt who owned a small chain of BBQ joints in Florida). - ReluctantCynic Dec 19, 15:19 6
  - I would like to add one exception to this rule. If its chicken, it is always country fried because Chicken Fried Chicken sounds stupid -- nm - crash davis Dec 19, 16:09 2
    - It's the only way we see it on a menu. Though it looks wrong -- nm - Epiphany Dec 19, 19:24
    - That's exactly what prompted the question -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 19, 17:44

    - I am a font of obscure and/or trivial knowledge. - ReluctantCynic Dec 19, 15:28
I really like Knightfall. You know it is going to be good when it starts with an adventurer taking an arrow in the knee. -- nm - crash davis Dec 19, 15:15 2
- I watched my 1st episode of Vikings yesterday. It seems like PG Game of Thrones. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 15:33 1
  - Vikings does help fill in during the long dark winter between GOT seasons -- nm - crash davis Dec 19, 16:23
Because you all practically dared me not to, I rewatched the pilot of Action (note: full series available on Crackle!) last night. The humor is just as biting. -- nm* - prayformojo Dec 19, 15:12
So they simplified it from seven tax brackets to seven tax brackets? When should I get expect my postcard? -- nm - Volnelk Dec 19, 15:07 2
- Maybe you'll get a packet of seven postcards and you fill out the tax for each one that applies to you. -- nm - Max Dec 19, 15:16

- Thanks. I like how the stupid title gets kicked out. - spamlet Dec 19, 15:10
- adding the word Jobs to the bill seems like a bunch of poo to me -- nm - crash davis Dec 19, 15:07 2
  - It's typical Washington BS. "No Child Left Behind" "Patriot Act" etc. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 19, 15:10
