    - They didn’t have one. That’s the whole point. - David Jan 31, 09:03 1
      - That you think he's an Andy Dalton makes me question your entire football knowledge. It's that bad a take. - Will Hunting Jan 31, 09:07

YDC: I get irrationally mad when someone sends an invite to confirm a meeting already scheduled that is in 10-15 minutes. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 08:04 3
- The only possible way that would be acceptable is if they are simply trying to create a "paper trail" of who was at the meeting. - volnelk Jan 31, 08:14
- In my experience, those tend to mean they will be running late. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 08:05
- That's not irrational. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 08:05

        My meeting ran way late. Then the adrenaline high wore off. I checked the app and you had a team of four. Will play tonight, with bells on. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 08:20
Did SOTU shed any light on whether or not Dundee is a real movie? - prayformojo Jan 31, 07:58

- SDM points get a sight bonus in the merge. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 07:57 2
  - 15 instead of 10 per dollar. I just hope that both PC Plus and SDM keep the personal coupons coming. - Shaun Jan 31, 08:01
  - do they? after the backlash on the bread thing, i guess they decided to not risk another media tirade. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 08:01
- i had $85 to spend, so i bought a bunch of groceries about a week ago. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 07:56
STIS: I have a form I need to upload to the NYS health dept. I had to print it out and sign it but don't have a scanner. Is there - Krusty Jan 31, 07:47 18
- Free app called "Genius Scan". Take a picture, converts it to a PDF which you can then email or use. It's great. - volnelk Jan 31, 08:16
- Are Kinko's still around? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:52 3
  - This is what I do, go to Fed Ex Kinkos or whatever they call it now, or the UPS store. They have office sections. -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 07:54 1
    - I just use my work resources. "I need to *fax* something?" *looks around office* "Do we even have a fax?" - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:57
  - Yeah, FedEx bought them. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 07:53
- Your public library, or Office Depot, or Kinko's/FedEx. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:50 3
  - I can scan a document at the library? I thought they only had printing. Thanks! - Krusty Jan 31, 07:51 2
    - Call first, or check their website, but many public libraries have scanners. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:53 1
      - Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 08:01
- There are a bunch of iOS apps that scan so I'd imagine there are Android ones as well. -- (edited) - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 07:48 8
  - Thanks. I'll look for an app recommendation. -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 07:50 7
    - This looks like an app that does it and has good reviews. -- (link) - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 08:14
    - Google Drive lets you scan documents and convert them to pdf. -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 08:12 5
      - Oh, that's helpful to know. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 08:14 4
        
        You click the little plus symbol on the bottom right and one of the options is to scan. It worked just fine for me. - Krusty Jan 31, 08:20 3
        
        It must be an Android only feature. iOS doesn't have it :/ -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 08:29 2
        
        Sorry. That sucks. -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 08:32 1
        
        It happens with Google apps. Silly tit for tat. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 08:52
"Good morning! You may see a change in your net pay, as the new tax tables for 2018 have been loaded into our system......." - volnelk Jan 31, 07:38 12
- $27.36 for me! Time to renovate the kitchen, or buy a new car! - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 07:51
- Yup, my FIT went down from the last check so our processor must be using the new tables as well. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 07:41 6
  - Mine has not changed yet, curious to see how much it does. -- nm* - ty97 Jan 31, 07:44 5
    - mine updated as well (I think most payroll providers have) -- nm - decline Jan 31, 07:48
    - Huh. We use a major processor that a lot of companies use so I figured they all switched over at once. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 07:47 3
      - Unless my company was ahead of the curve and it was in my 1/15 check? - ty97 Jan 31, 07:48 2
        
        I doubt that. The tables were released just about then. -- nm - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 07:49 1
        
        I paid $8 change less in my 1/15 check vs 12/31, not sure what that's about. - ty97 Jan 31, 07:51
- add it to your 401k! -- nm - decline Jan 31, 07:40 3
  - or hookers and crack -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 07:44

Michael Mosley: 'Forget walking 10,000 steps a day' -- (link) - LMS Jan 31, 07:35 25
- I’ve never officially figured out how many steps my curbside job gets me, but I imagine it’s well over 10k. It’s 7.5 hours of walking. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 08:37
- Forget might be the wrong word. There's nothing wrong with hitting 10k steps/day, but thinking it's an indicator for being active isn't quite accurate -- nm - Shaun Jan 31, 07:47 2
  - if you are not breathing heavy or your heart is not pumping faster, you are not doing optimal work for burning calories. - groiny Jan 31, 07:57 1
    - Yup. So 10k lazy ass lollygagging steps, while better than just sitting on you ass, is mostly worthless as far as measuring activity. -- nm - Shaun Jan 31, 07:59
- [deleted] 11
  - The only people saying "do crossfit" are crossfit people. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:49 1
    - and masochists -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 08:00
  - Yeah, those arguments have never made sense to me. Some activity is better than no activity. -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 07:46 8
    - [deleted] 2
      - he says "you can get similar, perhaps greater, benefits from a few brisk walks a day." - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:51 1
        
        [deleted]
    - right, but people also need reachable goals to shoot for. - groiny Jan 31, 07:49 4
      - I agree with groincumber -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:52 3
        
        I can do that in my walks to and from the train every day, and it does not eat up my limited personal time. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 07:53 2
        
        Yeah, but what about us? -- nm - groiny's knees Jan 31, 07:58 1
        
        I can easily do 1500 at a brisk pace. 10,000 not so much. - groiny Jan 31, 08:00
- That's interesting. - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:43
- Since I got my puppy, I've been walking 12k-15k steps per day. I've also lost 12 lbs - decline Jan 31, 07:39 7
  - Exercise does not equate to weight loss. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 08:53
  - that's great! -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 07:44
  - what were you walking prior to? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:43 3
    - last summer (after I stopped going to the gym) I was down to probably 2-4K - decline Jan 31, 07:45 2
      - But as the article suggests, getting your heart rate up is key. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 07:46 1
        
        that is true, when I take the dog out, it's not a slow/casual walk. we are moving -- nm - decline Jan 31, 07:47
  - whoa. good on ya. -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 07:40
So two key takeaways from last night from what I've read so far - ty97 Jan 31, 07:22 8
- I'm concerned about his gutting of civil service tenure, he wants to fire, wholesale, all the complainers blocking destruction of their purpose -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 31, 13:47
- #2. He didn't say anything new last night. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 07:53
- I didn't watch - can you explain # 2 in more detail? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 07:34 5
  - I didn't watch either, but here's one summary that echoes many others I've seen -- (link) - ty97 Jan 31, 07:36 4
    - f*ck - Epiphany Jan 31, 07:42 3
      - No we're not. IF we somehow make Kim lose face to his people actually in North Korea then maybe something will happen. -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 08:27
      - [deleted]
      - We are not going to war with N Korea. Period. End. Stop. - Jovian Jan 31, 07:48
Today in "kids R dum": school wifi is down, and multiple kids are confused as to why their Chromebooks won't log in. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 07:16 4
- We're watching ER on Hulu. It is kinda astounding how fast things have changed. Zero cell phones, pay phones, computers, pagers, no sign of the - just oblique Jan 31, 07:30 1
  - One thing I got a kick from in American Made was (not really spoilers) - prayformojo Jan 31, 07:32
- This is a perfect opportunity for a reference to hills, snow, walking, and bidirectionality. -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 07:17 1
  - I like to blow their minds by telling them I was 25 before I had a cell phone. - Reagen Jan 31, 07:18
What an SNL sketch from 1986 can teach us about the ongoing battle between superfans and the people behind the TV and movie franchises that they love -- (link) - Beaker Jan 31, 07:13
You see on her face, the reality of a person who didn't want *this* life, nor expected *this* life, and can't change *this* life. - Will Hunting Jan 31, 07:06 15
- There's no easy or pleasant way to change it, but she can certainly change it. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:31
- Poor Barron too. I mean, really. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 07:26 8
  - I feel way, way sorry for Barron than Melania. I have a hard time feeling sorry for grown women with agency and money. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 07:30
  - Poor Tiffany too though that pre-dates the Presidency. I'm glad that people have at least (mostly) left Barron alone, as they should. -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 07:28 5
    - sure, after calling him a future serial killer that is. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 07:28 3
      - or was it something else, equally insulting? -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 07:30 2
        
        It was that (by a Fox Sports writer). There was also a tweet by an SNL writer. But like ty said, "mostly". - Roger More Jan 31, 07:38 1
        
        right, and the :he looks autistic" shit from Rosie. - groiny Jan 31, 07:40

- One makes one's bed, then they have to sleep in it. -- nm - budice Jan 31, 07:10
- Oh she's definitely stuck. But you're exactly right, that divorce isn't going through until he's out. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 07:07 3
  - he should divore her and marry Stormy Daniels! -- nm - decline Jan 31, 07:25
  - for sure. -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 07:08 1
    - They aren't living together, they don't see each other, it's so obvious. Granted I'm sure the evangelical crowd doesn't care since they're a crock. -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 07:11
My co-worker just said that 'she isn't going to talk about what happened.' with the crazy guy. And, she looks mad about it. - Andie Jan 31, 07:06 1
