- U.S. Snowboard Team! -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 20:11

  - I love that they have Bode Miller on commentary. -- nm - David Feb 7, 20:09 1

- WHAT?? Already? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 20:02 4
  - Curling starts early so they can finish all of the curling events before the end of the Olympics. They do that with soccer in the Summer Olympics. - Krusty Feb 7, 20:09 3
    - Also, downhill skiers get three days to practice on the course. And from what I just read the Super-G skiers get no practice runs. They get to inspect - Krusty Feb 7, 20:21

- sure! -- nm - mud Feb 7, 20:05
Synology, got back to me, seems the 6TB drives should work which mean I can get brand new ones :) - Karl_S Feb 7, 19:51 11
- 6TB drives? Are you operating an off-site backup site for the NSA? -- nm - Mop Feb 7, 19:55 6
  - Virtual machines require a lot of space as do backups. - Karl_S Feb 7, 20:04 3
    - Docker, Kubernetes, or VirtualBox/VMWare? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 20:07 2
      - Due to space restrictions only vmware currently. But will be adding nutanix and docker -- nm - Karl_S Feb 7, 20:08 1
        
        Hmm. Well, depending on use cases ... maybe consider destructible VMs with automated orchestration tooling? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 20:26
  - Dude, you do video. 6TB isn't that big -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:56 1
    - Seriously. When we get to talking about petabyte drives, then I'll start paying attention. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 7, 20:54
- I put you in the facebook investing club fyi -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:55 3

Would driving from Portland to Calgary in 2 days (thinking August) be brutal? Was thinking 1 day to spokane, next day to Calgary. Spokane I get easy - Bacon Feb 7, 19:21 23
- It would not be leisurely, but that's possible. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 19:31 12
  - That wouldn't bother me, the leisurely driving/time would be spent in Banff, Jasper, Lake Louise, then push 2 long days back home -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:38 11
    - So I am seeing 2 days up, 3 days in those areas, and 2 days back for a week long trip -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:38 10
      - doable, but it would be hurried. I'd probably throw another day in if you could. would give you more of a chance for stuff like Radium, or - mafic Feb 7, 19:41 3
        
        8 days, that's do able. Thx guys. I just have no idea how fast you can go in those mountains. On the map it looks easy -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:42 2
        
        Don't listen to mafic. Madam Curie died from radium poisoning -- nm - crash davis Feb 7, 19:48 1
        
        her lab notes are still highly radioactive! -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 20:04
      - August can snow be an issue? -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:39 5
        
        it's unlikely to fall in August, and if it does unlikely to be an issue, but it's not impossible. -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 19:43 4
        
        I figured. I might see if fall in a rare case but probably not sticking to the roads. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:52 3
        
        Oh question. I have a memory of seeing a glacier and a snowcat going onto it with people getting out. - Bacon Feb 7, 19:53 2
        
        yep. Columbia Icefield. between Banff and Jasper. -- (link) - mafic Feb 7, 19:59 1
        
        Thx! I would have never figured this out based on that foggy memory -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 20:03
- Spokane to Calgary is doable in a day, but it's a long day. for the rest, what do you want to do? hiking, general sightseeing? - mafic Feb 7, 19:28 2
  - My Parent's, Aunt's Uncles Cousins Grandparents all took multiple RV trip up there when I was around 6 or 7 years old. I haven't been back since. -- (edited) - Bacon Feb 7, 19:36
  - And if you want to see Moraine Lake, it's best to go early - Reagen Feb 7, 19:33
- It says 8 hours from Spokane to Calgary which seems doable. - spamlet Feb 7, 19:28 3
  - Okay cool. I don't need to go to Calgary I was just using it as a reference point. Skipping it saves time that's cool. -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 19:34
  - That leaves out the three hours of Canadian officials staring at him suspiciously at the border. -- nm - crash davis Feb 7, 19:29 1
    - “So that’s why we’re thinking we should call you American Bacon while you’re in Canada.” -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:35
- Seattle to Calgary seems like too much for one day... -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 19:24 2
  - That would be I think as well -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 20:31 1
    - Twelve hours? That's not terrible. Be ready to hit the road by 7:00am and you're there by dinner. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Feb 8, 07:34
I just typed "french food" into Google. At the top of the results they give me a map and three restaurants. Guess what restaurant #3 was -- nm - crash davis Feb 7, 19:17 6

      - I blame Nihilist Arby's -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 7, 19:33
Amazon’s solution to only mailing half an item is for me to mail back the half that did arrive. Does that seem right to you? - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:03 12
- They never have me mail back anything damaged. That's weird. It costs them more to have it mailed back. - Bacon Feb 7, 19:08 7
  - It’s free to mail it back, yes -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:10 6
    - (Not counting the time and effort involved. I fecking hate shipping.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:11 5
      - (And soon I’ll have to report a lost item because it never feckinng arrived.) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:17 4
        
        (Are they going to make me mail back air?) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:17 3
        
        Last time I didn't get an item, they resent it and then the first item showed up too and they told me to keep it. - Bacon Feb 7, 19:19 2
        
        We already bought a replacement for the one that got lost in the mail. I don’t want multiples. Not planning on buying additional kindles to go with it -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:37 1
        
        2018 is turning out to be a poor showing for Amazon in this household. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:37
- but it doesn't even work as fraud prevention. you could just keep the item you're claiming you never got. -- nm - mafic Feb 7, 19:06 1
  - I suppose that’s true. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 7, 19:07
- Meet at the middle of a bridge and exchange? -- nm - Spawn: Six Time Blood Feud Champion Feb 7, 19:05 1

New shingles vaccine more effective than older vaccine, new age recommendation is age 50 now instead of 60. - Bacon Feb 7, 18:53 2
- My doctor told me all about this last week. It's great news since my father and grandmother had Shingles. -- nm - David Feb 7, 18:58 1
  - I have heard it is one of the most painful things a person can feel. The old vaccine only gave 5 years of protection and only 18% effective aged 80+ -- (edited) - Bacon Feb 7, 19:00

- Your face is not particularly compelling. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 18:11 1
  - your face, absolutely compelling - colin Feb 7, 18:15
I assume the players that miss the first couple of questions are bots, right? -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 18:08 4
- Also, lag causes misses. - David Feb 7, 18:28
- I missed the first question once because I wasn't really paying attention and didn't notice the switch from inane banter to question. - mafic Feb 7, 18:26
- I fat figured question one once. -- nm - Dano Feb 7, 18:17
- you don't believe in stupid people? -- nm - colin Feb 7, 18:16

- it's a bit.. something. what in particular didn't you like? -- nm - colin Feb 7, 18:04 2
  - for me: it tried to cover too much, and a lot of things ended up getting lost. also: Sam Rockwell. he was good, didn't appreciate his arc. (spoils) - mafic Feb 7, 19:05 1
    - We said it was like pieces of three separate good movies cut together. And too much happens that - Andie Feb 7, 19:27
Thank you, county Democratic Party for emailing me about an event three whole days before it happens. I'd never appreciate a one or two month headsup -- nm - crash davis Feb 7, 17:59 3
- Did Hillary ask you to vote for her 3 days after she lost? -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 18:06 2

My 4 first round picks sucked. BUT! I was smart enough to get 4 first round picks to begin with. SMART! -- nm - Bacon Feb 7, 17:55 2
