this weekend, we are getting I Tonya, 3BB, and phantom thread. what?? -- nm - amanda Feb 1, 06:24 2
- I'm all alone Saturday night so thinking of seeing something. - spamlet, no longer an adequate poster Feb 1, 06:49
- I mentioned below a couple are expanding, I guess we can add Phantom to the list too. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 06:26
PA State Senator Scarnati is refusing a court order to turn over map data on the gerrymander case. -- (link) - decline Feb 1, 06:22 8
- (Scarnati’s lawyers said in a footnote that the senator does not actually have the requested data) -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 06:29 6
  - He does not have the data on hand - he has access to it (they used it to gerrymand their maps). What's problematic is he is stating he will refuse all - decline Feb 1, 06:42 1
    - Then why didn't they send the court order to the owner of the data? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 07:21
  - (and the General Assembly lawyer directed the court instead to the state website that hosts files with the 2011 boundaries) -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 06:30 3
    - So he could have gotten the ordered data and didn't. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 06:32 2
      - (or the order didn't need to be issued in the first place, if they had just checked the website) -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 06:35 1
        
        and yet, the plaintiffs, the Dems and the governors office all had no problem providing information and agreeing to the court order -- nm - decline Feb 1, 06:49
- Lock him up -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 06:23

Happy back on the booze after a no discernible difference dry January day! -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 06:11 5
- *lifts a champagne glass in your direction* - Epiphany Feb 1, 06:14
- I kept hearing about this Dry January thing all month. When did this become a thing? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 06:11 3

- I call BS on this so bad. No one pays $16 for Pizza Hut. It's never more than $10. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 06:28 3
  - We tried to get our Papa Johns to deliver something anything that wasn't $ 16 after tax & delivery charge - couldn't be done until we found coupons - Epiphany Feb 1, 06:32 1
    - The CPK frozen BBQ chicken pizza is surprisingly good -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 06:33
  - Maybe they ordered two? Tipped well? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 06:29
- It's not being snobby to prefer quality over low cost. - Krusty Feb 1, 06:20 1
  - If I need a lot, I will go cheap chain every time. -- nm* - Reagen Feb 1, 06:24
- It's a small chain in only 20 states, but our top pick is Jet's Pizza. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 1, 06:11 1
  - Approved. -- nm - volnelk Feb 1, 06:17
- Surprised by the results - ty97 Feb 1, 05:52 6
  - I haven't had new pizza hut, but I would rank domino's highest by far, then pizza hut, then papa johns. - amanda Feb 1, 05:57 5
    - agreed. -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 06:33
    - [deleted]
    - Yeah, it's weird. Domino's was *trash emoji* for so long but, for chain, their thin crust works. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 05:58 2

- "in some Airbus A330-200 planes that are joining the fleet" ..."and extra-private corner suites in the jet's upper cabin. " - ty97 Feb 1, 05:50 4
  - Either this article is referencing a press release that talks about multiple plane types - ty97 Feb 1, 05:59
  - Different story I read it was described as an "upper class cabin". - zunk xometimes Feb 1, 05:59 2
    - Virgin has the 747 which has an upper deck, but yeah their 'upper class' cabin is just their business class branding, not a deck reference. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 05:59 1
      - And I just learned they have the A380 on order, though deferred indefinitely so I bet they never actually buy them. -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 06:14
