"Q1. What RB in our consensus top 24 should fantasy owners fear the most as a bust candidate?" - ReluctantCynic Jul 5, 11:03 4

    - TV Doesn't share -- nm - JaxSean Jul 5, 11:04 4

- But it did (spoils) - Jovian Jul 5, 11:01
- Really? *THAT* was your main complaint? -- nm - Mop Jul 5, 10:43 4
  - It's hard to find anything wrong with RP1. -- nm - David Jul 5, 10:46 3
    - If I cobbled together a number of Spielberg (and Spielberg-ish) scripts from the 80s and early 90s and used whiteout for the names, I'd have RP1. - Mop Jul 5, 11:03 2
      - OMG. It's Star Wars. -- nm - Mop Jul 5, 11:04
      - FYI: RP1 stands for Ready Player One. I don't know what you're talking about, but we're discussing one of the best movies of the year. - David Jul 5, 11:04

- I will wait for when they make a spin-off with Idris Elba and Charlize.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 5, 10:35 2
  - right? I'm hoping with the spinoff they go harder edged. I will say I guess Statham killing Han is no big deal... -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 10:37 1
    - my guess is that they will "fix" that in a scene - Truman Jul 5, 11:14
- Speaking of Idris. Has anyone seen The Take? It's on HBO and I was curious if it was worth watching. -- nm - not sycor Jul 5, 10:34

  - Canada and most if not all of the Caribbean are part of the North American Numbering Plan. -- (edited) - znufrii, not outraged Jul 5, 10:15 1
    - Interesting. - JaxSean Jul 5, 10:28
  - That’s the UK and maybe Australia. Not sure what Mexico uses. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 5, 10:12 1

      - no, I don't light you on fire. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 10:30

    - I can sleep through most fireworks, but can not sleep through the dog barking. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 09:46 1
      - New dog barked at all. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 5, 10:45
I miss having a car. Borrowed the company car to go to the bank. Felt good driving and getting something done in 20 minutes - Amoxy Jul 5, 09:34 4
- Opportunity for a poll! If you could drive any car you liked every day (like on your commute), what would it be? - Mop Jul 5, 09:40 3

- Now you’ve got me curious how I would do. - znufrii, not outraged Jul 5, 10:19
- indoor or outdoor range? I hate the noise of an indoor range -- nm - Epiphany Jul 5, 10:08 1
  - indoor. I do not think we have any outdoor ones here. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 10:10
- so when trigger-happy police are shooting a black kid running away .. - mud Jul 5, 09:36 1
  - well, the back for sure. - groiny Jul 5, 09:36
- It is a really different experience...did you enjoy it? -- nm - Capstern Jul 5, 09:33 12
  - I did. I rented the gun there instead of using mine, next time I will bring my own. - groiny Jul 5, 09:34 11
    - Pardon, but I'm confused. If you can't aim/shoot well, why do you own one? -- nm - MDH Jul 5, 09:37 10
      - gotta start somewhere. - groiny Jul 5, 09:40 9
        
        Yup. I was surprised at how much I'd lost since the last time I was at shooting range. - ReluctantCynic Jul 5, 10:02 7
        
        I got a groupon for 30 minute session with rental and one box ammo, that was good enough for me. -- nm - groiny Jul 5, 10:04 6
        
        *sigh* - ReluctantCynic Jul 5, 10:16 2

        Excellent! -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jul 5, 10:23
        
        agreed - can't imagine making it an all day event -- nm - Epiphany Jul 5, 10:10 2
        
        If you go outdoor and also do skeet and trap it can be a good half day of fun :) -- nm - Capstern Jul 5, 10:17 1
        
        ha! I am no good with a shotgun. too heavy. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 5, 11:09
