NPR interviewed Left Shark from Katy Perry's Super Bowl performance a few years ago. And it's a pretty good interview. -- (link) - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 31, 10:17 1

So ... I guess smart meters are the new chemtrails? -- nm - ReluctantCynic - Eagles Fan (at least this year) Jan 31, 10:01 1

Shopping center shooting began with argument in Vape shop. -- (link) - spamlet, no longer adequate Jan 31, 09:36 32
- finally we'll get some traction on banning vaping. -- nm - colin Jan 31, 09:37 31
  - I'm all for it. Our tailgate group has a bunch of smokers in it. I'd 100% rather they vape. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 09:51 25
    - oh, I would have to throat punch them all -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 09:55 24
      - For quitting smoking? -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 10:04 23
        
        i'm confused by everything here... jax wants vaping banned because he wants the smokers in his group to vape, groiny just wants to punch them. -- nm - colin Jan 31, 10:06 22
        
        I meant, "I'm all for vaping." -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 11:05
        
        Jax group all smoke, he would prefer them to vape..... - groiny Jan 31, 10:08 19
        
        my initial sentiment was anit-vape, hence all the confusion. -- nm - colin Jan 31, 10:21 2
        
        no confusion. I don't understand vaping in general. - groiny Jan 31, 10:23 1
        
        it was mostly a joke.. i'm fine with vaping, but i hate it inside... replace smoking, but still outside to vape. - colin Jan 31, 10:27
        
        I have zero issues with vapers. Smokers though? Seriously, why aren't you vaping? -- nm - Shaun Jan 31, 10:09 15
        
        not a smoker but I know some issues they have: convenience - time/money - Epiphany Jan 31, 10:17
        
        Vapping is a step up from smoking for smokers. But it's just as damned annoying for non-smokers. - TWuG's windchimes like you Jan 31, 10:11 13
        
        vapers annoy me bc it looks stupid. Smokers don't annoy me, they're so scarce and I like the smell. - mud Jan 31, 10:18 12
        
        and the smokers should die soon enough anyway. - groiny Jan 31, 10:19 11

        I agree. Please tell my stubborn mother - Epiphany Jan 31, 10:34 2
        
        Or my dad that watched his father die slowly from lung cancer. - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 10:48
        
        believe me, I know how frustrating it is. - groiny Jan 31, 10:37
        
        I may get that some day, hope not -- nm - mud Jan 31, 10:23 3
        
        if you quit, hopefully you will avoid it. - groiny Jan 31, 10:24 2

    - i'm all for it, really. -- nm - colin Jan 31, 09:48 3
      - There may be some arguments to ban guns to be made somewhere, I think.. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 31, 09:53 2
        
        like guns start arguments. they just end them. - colin Jan 31, 10:00

- I am utterly baffled as to why people think a fucking memo proves anything. -- nm* - Reagen Jan 31, 09:49 7
  - *reading.....* Ted Koppel *is* a robot! -- nm - prayformojo Jan 31, 09:59
  - It doesn't. It just obscures the issues and redirects the attention. It serves that purpose well. -- nm - pmb Jan 31, 09:56 4
    - After talking with my Dad over the weekend, it's pretty clear that critical thinking skills are in short supply among GOP supporters, so, yeah, it does -- (edited) - TWuG's windchimes like you Jan 31, 10:01 3

- eh, the national security apparatus screams about jeopardizing national security every time something embarrassing comes out. - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Jan 31, 09:45 1
  - They're actually not arguing national security at the moment, but just saying it omits material facts. - pmb Jan 31, 09:53
- I am guessing they won't release it. TRUMP will look good and the GOP can have their talking points without having to defend the details -- nm - Amoxy-2017 Caveman ChampE Jan 31, 09:44 3
  - This was my argument yesterday. -- nm - pmb Jan 31, 09:54

- Depends...in a salad or on a sub sandwich, but especially on a burger...delicious! -- nm* - IrishStephen Jan 31, 09:44
- Raw onion, in general, isn't good. I avoid it. But cooked? Sauteed? Love 'em. -- nm - TWuG's windchimes like you Jan 31, 09:39
- i used to think that, then i grew up. they're great in sandwiches, fresh salsa.. so much tang, man. -- nm - colin Jan 31, 09:36

        huh. now it's working. that was weird. i got a NYT page that said it wasn't present, not an un-loaded page. -- nm - colin Jan 31, 09:49

Andy Dalton - David Jan 31, 09:15 14
- This is the actual definition of single data point and you excoriate anyone trying to pass this off against you for it's uselessness. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 31, 09:25 6
  - See below. Bacon has heard for years about how well Smith grades out. And his QB record the past few years is near the top of the league. - David Jan 31, 09:28 5
    - Yeah we did -- we gave $20mil a year to a 35yr old game manager - Will Hunting Jan 31, 09:36 4
      - I thought wins are what mattered, not "Rating" or "actual yards or TDs". - David Jan 31, 09:52 3
        
        Then maybe we should re-evaluate the Flacco deal -- 1 ring = 1 more than 90% of the league - Will Hunting Jan 31, 10:04 2
        
        He already had the ring when they made the deal. What happened with Brock Osweiler is the best way to bargain. - David Jan 31, 10:40

  - I just don't get how these happen. - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 09:09 3
    - That assumes the driver wanted to get out. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 31, 09:11 2
      - When ty said "those" I figured there were passengers. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Jan 31, 09:12 1

Reagen, saw your question from last night this morning. It's a longer discussion for an evening or weekend sometime. -- (edited) - Name Withheld by Request Jan 31, 08:55 3
