Slate: Yes, the MLK Jr. Estate Approved That Ram Trucks Super Bowl Ad -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 6, 09:06 10
- Wait, this was in question? I doubt the network would have aired it without knowing this. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:09 7
  - Given the social media backlash and freakoutery, I guess an explanation was required? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 09:11 6
    - And the statement from the foundation that they were not involved probably served to confuse things. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 09:13 2
      - It might not be national knowledge, but there has been a TON of legal battles over the years between members of the King family. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 6, 09:16 1
        
        That is completely unsurprising. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 09:18
    - It was still a ridiculous ad, regardless of the approval. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 09:13 1
      - It was no, "Baseball, hot dogs, apple pie and Chevrolet." - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:15
    - Ah. People *do* like to look for things to bitch about. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:12
- yes, the estate put out a statement pretty quickly afterward saying so. The MLK foundation nor Bernice King manage the estate though AFAIK -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 09:07 1
  - Correct. That is explained in the article as well. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 09:09
Variety - Quentin Tarantino Defends Polanski in Resurfaced Interview: 13-Year-Old Girl ‘Wanted to Have It’ -- (link) - LMS Feb 6, 09:01 7
- Without looking is this the one where he is talking about it being "statutory" rape vs rape? -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:08 2
  - Pretty much, although his context doesn't help him get out of the hole. -- nm - LMS Feb 6, 09:12 1
    - Yeah, (especially for a writer) he does tend to say the wrong thing, rather often. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:13
- ... -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 09:05
- It will be interesting to see if he's kept on for Star Trek 4 -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 09:03 2

Josh McDaniels Coaches The Colts Now -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 08:48 12
- So the Patriots are getting cherry picked. - JaxSean Feb 6, 09:02 5
  - This is like the 3rd time this has happened to them - Will Hunting Feb 6, 09:12 4
    - Honestly, if I had to handicap the AFC next year (right now), I'd say Pats 40% / you guys 35% / Steelers 20% / rest 5% - Will Hunting Feb 6, 09:17 3
      - I wonder where his 58.3% completion rate ranks in his career. - Shaun Feb 6, 09:21 2
        
        In playoff games, he's had 9 out of 37 games worse %-wise. 71 out of 253 regular season worse - Will Hunting Feb 6, 09:31
        
        Oh, he's clearly had better accuracy games, but it seemed like every pass he missed badly, he'd pick up the first down the next one - Will Hunting Feb 6, 09:28
- Somebody get this man a Colts visor. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 08:50 5
  - I wouldn't wish this on David's Falcons. Hopefully he's learned something from last time. -- nm - Jim Feb 6, 09:02 4

      - I see it going one of two ways. Perfect or Disaster. - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:37
    - Yeah, I am not thrilled. But I am hopeful he gets the right people around him. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:04

I'm Amazon Prime. Just placed an order and it said guaranteed two day free delivery Thursday, which makes sense. But - ty97 Feb 6, 08:39 8
- So if we kill you, do all the other Amazons die? -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 09:10
- I don't think so as it appears to depend on where you are. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 08:42 4
  - There's a distribution center in town here, I wonder if that's why? -- nm* - ty97 Feb 6, 08:44 3
    - When they built the one here in Jax, we got the 1 day option too. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 6, 09:01
    - I think this is the answer. I get it occasionally for certain products -- nm - decline Feb 6, 08:47
    - Have you given them your key yet? -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 08:45
- maybe related to accounting standards? Have to show the revenue and the discount separate rather than offset one against the other -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 08:41 1
  - gah, misread. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 08:47

I like how that SpaceX live stream works in all browsers. But Apple's event live streams don't. If only Apple had SpaceX tech. -- nm - Mop Feb 6, 08:28

  - next you will be eating steel oats -- nm - Epiphany Feb 6, 08:36 5
    - I still don't know the difference between steel cut oats and, like, oats -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 08:49 4
      - steel cut takes longer...usually see it in slow cooker recipes for overnight -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 6, 09:47
      - steel cut are circumcised. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 08:54
      - Regular oats are rolled flat. Steel cut oats are...cut. With steel. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 08:53 1
        
        They both end up with the texture of a sinus infection, so I don’t get it. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 6, 08:56
- spinach and feta, being best friends. together forever the fun never ends. solving mysteries one egg at a time. spinach and feta, two of a kind. -- nm - amanda Feb 6, 08:30 7
  - I'm not sure I like feta. - ty97 Feb 6, 08:31 6
    - it's very salty, but good because a little goes a long way. also, if you do corn, I recommend getting roasted corn. -- nm - amanda Feb 6, 08:32 5
      - was thinking the same. -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 08:33 4
        
        I am thinking of making chicken tortilla soup in my IP for lunches for next week. roasted corn 100%. -- nm - amanda Feb 6, 08:35 3
        
        here, this. kelly, have you tried similar? -- (link) - amanda Feb 6, 08:51 2
        
        I've only made that kind of soup in a slow cooker. I love it, so I'll definitely try an IP version. I tried adapting my favorite soup recipe for the - kelly Feb 6, 09:04 1
        
        this is what I wonder -- how much extra water and time to offset dried beans. I prefer dry because they're easier to store honestly. - amanda Feb 6, 09:10
- I...won? - ty97 Feb 6, 08:28 5
  - it's a win for omelette eaters everywhere. -- nm - colin Feb 6, 08:31
  - Don't think I could do this every day though, I'get sick of eggs -- nm - ty97 Feb 6, 08:29 3
    - yep, it gets old, but the protein you get from it is pretty fantastic. -- nm - colin Feb 6, 08:31
    - Very easy to mix up flavours with eggs though. Also, it's one of the things worth up-spending on. Organic/free-range = more flavour -- nm - Roger More Feb 6, 08:31 1
      - We got farm fresh organic eggs from our CSA this summer. So good. -- nm - znufrii Feb 6, 08:42

Conan tv series coming from Amazon... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 6, 08:22 7
- of all the dumb characters that doesn't need a TV show. -- nm - colin Feb 6, 08:28 5
  - eh...it could work. Lots of rich history to mine from the classic books and the 50 plus years of comics. -- nm - Remlik Feb 6, 08:30 4
    - yeah, could easily become a GOT type show. -- nm - Beaker Feb 6, 08:58 3
      - Kind of the opposite, though. GoT works because there is no main character. -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 6, 09:05 2
        
        I was thinking more as a world builder; he'd still be the main but develop good characters around him - Beaker Feb 6, 09:07 1
