  - I really need to figure out which are the rare Pokemon versus the garden-variety. It's like y'all are speaking a different language sometimes. - ReluctantCynic Jul 13, 10:20 1

For making a website on GoDaddy--Is it better to use WordPress or Website build? -- nm - Flavorize Jul 13, 09:42 6
- I like using Weebly for quick sites. Wix I think is another one that I've heard people like. I wouldn't touch wordpress, so many security issues. -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 09:43 5
  - and it just loads up your code with extraneous crap you don't need -- nm - decline Jul 13, 09:47 1
    - yeah, sure, but for something quick and dirty that's easy for a non-tech to maintain, it works. -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 09:48
  - Can I use the site I bought from Go Daddy on Weebly? -- nm - Flavorize Jul 13, 09:46 2
    - yeah. I do this for my wife's site. Domain is via GoDaddy but I use Weebly for the site creation -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 09:48 1
      - Ok, cool--Thanks! -- nm - Flavorize Jul 13, 10:22

Mueller/Rosenstein indict 12 Russian Military officers (GRU) with meddling in the 2016 election - decline Jul 13, 09:15 7
- IIRC, Comey told us that the Trump Campaign and the RNC were also targeted but the difference was they were not successfully hacked. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 13, 10:19
- the document includes this tasty tidbit: A candidate for US Congress contacted Guccifer to obtain stolen documents about their Democrat opponent -- nm - decline Jul 13, 09:27 2
  - and The 12 indicted Russian Military officials were in touch with "a person who was in regular contact with senior member of the presidential campaign - decline Jul 13, 09:40 1

- Yeah, I've been reading more about it and it looks like a good deal for us. - Krusty Jul 13, 09:04 3
  - Granted, the Nets having a 1st round pick is a new way for them to fubar the franchise. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 13, 09:11 2
    - We might have two as we get our own again. - Krusty Jul 13, 09:26

Groiny: Carl's Jr #9. I'll spoil the rest: 4 Sonic, 5 DQ, 6 Jack in the Box, 7 Whataburger, 8 Hardees -- nm - MDH Jul 13, 08:47 14
- I don't think I've ever eaten anything other than ice cream from DQ -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 09:20 4
  - They have the best chicken strips in fast food. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 10:02
  - they have a jalepeno burger that is pretty good. -- nm - groiny Jul 13, 09:37
  - I like their mushroom swiss burger and poutine. Cheeseburgers are good, too. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 09:22
  - I might have had a hot dog there before -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 09:21
- Hey, I got DQ right. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 09:19 1
  - (Although technically I posted it after this, but I didn't see this, because I was backboarding) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 09:19
- Whataburger is amazing -- nm - Capstern Jul 13, 09:12
- Separate entries for Carl's Jr and Hardees doesn't seem right. -- nm - Ender Jul 13, 09:09 5
  - I don't know why they don't just merge those two brands at this point. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 09:23 4
    - I figured there were some menu variations between them. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 09:24 3
      - Is there? This is interesting; I thought Hardees was the original, not the other way around. -- (link) - JaxSean Jul 13, 09:33 1
        
        I knew they introduced items, just did not realize the assimilation was complete. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 09:36
      - I'm pretty sure there's not, I think it's just "Hardees has more brand recognition on the east coast, and Carl's Jr has more on the west coast". -- nm - Ender Jul 13, 09:30
Booking $17.49 Dolby Cinema tickets under AMC A-List feels like I'm totally scamming them. That one ticket alone basically pays for my month - oblique Jul 13, 08:45 16
- Buy some snacks from them to make you feel less guilty, it's where they make their money in any case. -- nm - LMS v RUS Jul 13, 08:58
- That's nice! -- nm - Capstern Jul 13, 08:54
- So can you buy additional tickets when you book it? -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:47 13
  - Yes. But my wife and I both have subscriptions so I actually book everything for us now using two browser windows or two phones at the same time to - oblique Jul 13, 08:48 3
    - Oh, that kind of sucks. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:50 2
      - Yeah, I'm hoping they "enhance" it later with a family plan where I can combine our subscriptions and buy things all at once. -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 08:52 1
        
        ST Family. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:52
  - Yes, but not for free. -- nm - MDH Jul 13, 08:47 8
    - Well, yeah, I figured that. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:48 7
      - Hmm. Does the ticket buyer have to be the one with the account? Just wondering, could like, I buy tickets for my mom even if I am not going to go? -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:50 6
        
        For the A-List ticket, they check ID. It has to be you. For tickets you buy additionally, no. -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 08:51 5
        
        Figured. This thing is what has driven my mother to finally get a smart phone. -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:52 4
        
        You can do it all via their website and print the tickets at the theater, but it is easier to show the code off your phone -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 08:52 3
        
        Hmm. Print them at home? -- nm - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:53 2
        
        Yeah, It's just a code they scan and it is in the email you get. -- nm - oblique Jul 13, 08:54 1
        
        Okay, this might get her started. You just earned your raise! - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:56
George W. Bush yesterday. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 13, 08:42 17
- I've heard this called the Strange New Respect Phenomenon. - Babarón Jul 13, 09:03 15
  - I think some of it is recency bias - Strongbad Jul 13, 10:28
  - Can you give any other examples though? - Roger More Jul 13, 09:32 5
    - Mitt certainly had some of that shine before he reentered the game. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 09:36 4
      - Though that's against the Trump mirror, and Mitt never led the country. - Roger More Jul 13, 09:47 3
        
        I think Mulroney got a raw deal, but this is a minority opinion - Reagen Jul 13, 10:02 2
        
        Yeah, I wish I wish Airbus wasn't out there because his record deserves serious retro-consideration by the masses. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 10:03 1
        
        I'd laugh my balls off to hear a conservative go "now, Pierre Trudeau, there was a leader" - Reagen Jul 13, 10:05
  - Or Trump is just that bad, and anyone compared to him is better. -- nm - Inigo Jul 13, 09:25
  - On some level I think it's that the person out of office is freed from the shackles of his party's politics to a greater degree to where he can say - pmb Jul 13, 09:13 4
    - Compare that thought though with Bush's normal word salad. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 13, 09:53 1
      - He used Therefore and Alleviate properly in a sentence! At no point did Dubya ever indicate he could use words like that. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 13, 09:54
    - It's also freeing for the political opponent because there is no consequence for their "support". - Name Withheld by Request Jul 13, 09:36
    - A little bit of this, yes. He was still a pretty bad president, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 09:18
  - Lets see that happen for Trump. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 09:08 1
    - I don’t want to see the person we’d need to have in office to make me respect Trump by comparison. -- nm - znufrii, not outraged Jul 13, 09:14
- "Well, you loser, the lesson I learned in 9/11 is that Muslims and Mexicans suck." (NM) - Scumpf Jul 13, 08:45

  - No clue. There are many points along this path where her plan will fall apart :) - oblique Jul 13, 08:48 1
    - oh wow -- nm - Epiphany Jul 13, 08:49

- "That's right, and get ready for me to haunt the crap out of you until you fix this." -- nm - Max Jul 13, 09:01
- ... That’s the very real message a British man received three weeks after informing PayPal of his wife’s May 31 death from cancer at age 37. - Spawn: Blood Feud God Jul 13, 08:41

- my condolences on your recent death -- nm - decline Jul 13, 08:28
- Wow...Paypal doesn't fuck around with DTM. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 13, 08:28
