  - If you can fill a table for $50 a hand, why drop the prices to $10 a hand? - Will Hunting Apr 12, 10:34 1

Well, I guess twitter is a write-off for today. Between the pipeline BS and people bashing PHP, I can’t avoid getting sucked into BS. Close window. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 08:48 1

finally caught a damn ditto!!! now for ten raids.... eeesh -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:44 12
- Note: some reports (to be confirmed) that they may have fixed the 'time out the same raid repeatedly' trick -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 08:55 1
  - I tried it yesterday and it didn't work for me. I just figured I was doing something wrong. -- nm* - Ash Apr 12, 08:58
- NICE! Congrats. I still have 8 raids to do for mine. nm - Ash Apr 12, 08:46 3
  - if i see a low raid (Snorunt, Magikarp, Sableye, etc), i always do them alone. and, remember you don't have to WIN 10 raids, just do them. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 08:49 2
    - I know...I just hate that I have to sit in the lobby for a few minutes while the game looks for other people. nm - Ash Apr 12, 09:06 1
      - oh that. yeah. that sucks. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 09:07
- like you care but my play is "raid ten times" and *then* evolve a karp *just in case I get a shiny (not gonna happen). -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:46 5
  - Same here. -- nm - Ash Apr 12, 08:48
  - i still have 3 raids to go and i am waiting to evolve too. just in case. -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 08:47 3
    - I'm also amassing all the karp candy I can in case I get one later. -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 09:07 2
      - Ayup...I'm up to 755 now. Also wondering if they'd put that task - Ash Apr 12, 10:06 1
        
        this one is mew, right? -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 10:06

- that is cool -- nm - Remlik Apr 12, 09:16
- huh -- (link) - decline Apr 12, 09:06 3
  - The next one will have the water above his eye-level. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Apr 12, 09:37 1
    - Yeah, I have to assume they're already planning something like that and discussing what would justify it. -- nm - mara Apr 12, 09:48
  - Ah! -- nm - mara Apr 12, 09:27
- very cool -- nm - Andie Apr 12, 08:23
- what kind of paper do they use to make that happen? -- nm - decline Apr 12, 08:23 3
  - Don't be a muggle. -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 08:33 1
    - RACIST -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 08:34

- It works! - Dark Callisto Apr 12, 08:26 3
  - What is the program? - Will Hunting Apr 12, 08:34 2
    - for me...basically eat something every 2-3 hours that isn't crap. More fruit & veg & protein. -- nm - Remlik Apr 12, 08:54
    - Mine is 80 Day Obsession. - Dark Callisto Apr 12, 08:51
Ok - so anyone watching Survivor this season. Do yourself a favor and watch the Ponderosa video for this week. nm - Ash Apr 12, 08:14 19
- so delusional. (I just started.) -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:17 3
  - Oh - it gets better. Please watch to the end -- nm - Ash Apr 12, 08:18 2
    - can you spoil what happens please (I haven't watched last night yet, but will read later). Thanks. -- nm* - Beaker Apr 12, 08:32 1

        reddit will eat that person alive. how did person think that was a good idea at all?? -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:38 5
        
        NO idea. And the love they're getting on Twitter is epic. nm - Ash Apr 12, 08:50 4
        
        He’s such a dumbass. - Dark Callisto Apr 12, 08:53 3
        
        But did you LOVE the ponderosa video.... -- nm - Ash Apr 12, 08:55 2
        
        I made it through possibly seven seconds before I just couldn’t anymore. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 12, 09:00 1
        
        You HAVE to show it to David though. Don't tell him...he'll especially hate it. lol -- nm - Ash Apr 12, 09:01
    - honestly it is amazing (both that it's still on and that people have remained interested) What year is this? -- nm - decline Apr 12, 08:22 3
      - I had stopped watching, but now the kids love it and the contest I created for us make it really enjoyable to watch -- nm - Beaker Apr 12, 08:26 1

      - year 18. season 36. it's a new show every season. -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 08:25
Groiny, I only realized the other day that I don't get a pop-up or anything for invites and never noticed. - volnelk Apr 12, 08:10 1
- that makes sense. I will shoot a message over when we are on - groiny Apr 12, 08:11
I, for one, welcome my factorio robot overlords. *redesigns his production lines to incorporate the robotic logistics network* -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 12, 08:09
Yes, Andrea, yes that is weird. (The trail thing, not the steak thing) -- nm - ty97 Apr 12, 08:09
Brewer players recreated a scene from The Sandlot during spring training. -- (link) - jnine Apr 12, 08:08

B2: Since I started cooking low sodium and meal prepping, I often eat the same thing for all my meals So 8, I'm lunch type things - JD Apr 12, 07:53
since Fortnite was dead last night, and my Overwatch was updating, I decided to try PUBG....... - groiny Apr 12, 07:46 34
- Fortnite feels a bit more cartoony and fun to me (almost like TF2), whereas PUBG feels more like Battlefield kind of. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 07:53 1
  - PUBG felt real clunky to me, and the controller setup is complicated - groiny Apr 12, 07:54
- woot! -- (link) - Spawn Apr 12, 07:49 31
  - Yeah that's a no-brainer. - Shaun Apr 12, 07:52
  - Nice. We got the deluxe digital so should have this one. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 12, 07:52 27
    - Yup. I am psyched. - Spawn Apr 12, 07:58 26
      - for what exactly? -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 07:59 25
        
        I still love the game. And new content is great. -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 08:03
        
        I love the campaigns, myself. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 12, 08:02 23
        
        don't get me wrong, the game is fun, but I need to be working towards something to stay interested. - groiny Apr 12, 08:03 22
        
        NF has an exclusive weapon! But that is not enough. - Spawn Apr 12, 08:06 3
        
        When was the last time you even did a NF? -- nm - Shaun Apr 12, 08:09 2
        
        Nobody is on when I am (if it all), any more. -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 08:09 1
        
        and there has not been a point to wasting the time on a NF in months. - groiny Apr 12, 08:15
        
        You're not working towards anything in fortnite, but you seem to like that. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 12, 08:05 17
        
        It's not the same type of game. In a game where they boasted about 'a tonne of loot' to obtain, there's just...not. -- nm - Shaun Apr 12, 08:08
        
        that is where you are wrong. Every game is different. - groiny Apr 12, 08:07 11
        
        So, Destiny should take away all your stuff periodically? They did that ONE time and it was the part of the game *I* hate. -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 08:09 10
        
        no, because it is a different game with different goals. - groiny Apr 12, 08:11 9
        
        I am partly joking. That is one of the reasons I do not like Fortnight. - Spawn Apr 12, 08:15 8
        
        there is also a bit more thinking involved in F. IMO - groiny Apr 12, 08:21 4
        
        Plus, building! - Spawn Apr 12, 08:22 3
        
        if you were on a team, you would not have to build. - groiny Apr 12, 08:26
        
        You are so wrongly focused on the building part. -- (edited) - Shaun Apr 12, 08:23 1
        
        that would be a negative, bravo -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 08:27
        
        it is fun to play with a group. I would play anything with a group, if it were free. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 08:18
        
        it is fun to kill someone and loot their corpse. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 08:16
        
        Fortnite has a PvE mode, but I've never tried it and have never looked into it, so I can't comment on how it is. -- nm - Shaun Apr 12, 08:16
        
        Getting better, maybe? -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 08:07 3
        
        and of course there is that too. When I commit to a game, I commit to working towards getting better at it. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 08:08 2
        
        (My point was that at Destiny you had probably nearly maxed.) -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 08:11 1
        
        no, I got your point, and it is true. - groiny Apr 12, 08:13
  - I am not 100% sure I will be purchasing. -- nm - groiny Apr 12, 07:49 1
    - Wait and see what we have to say about it. -- nm - Spawn Apr 12, 07:50
Sends up the Amanda beacon: Today is National Grilled Cheese Day. In her honor, here is the HuffPo making your mouth water -- (link) - decline Apr 12, 07:44 4
- if this is a poll... I'll take Havarti And Arugula Grilled Cheese With Smoky Bacon Jam -- nm - amanda Apr 12, 07:58 2
  - food&wine suggests mixing some grated cheese with the butter before buttering your bread - decline Apr 12, 08:15
  - from the list, I want to try the big popper hot buffalo chicken and bacon grilled cheese -- nm - decline Apr 12, 07:59
- Misread as “the amanda bacon” -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 07:44
If the steak is well-done, then yes, it’s weird. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 07:44
Now I want steak and potatoes right now -- nm - prayformojo Apr 12, 07:41
