LOL Mets! -- (link) - Mop Jul 23, 11:39
Your batshit crazy story of the day is brought to you by Forbes: Amazon Should Replace Local Libraries to Save Taxpayers Money -- (link) - Mop Jul 23, 11:28 14
- Went to our local library for the first time this weekend, and got myself a library card. -- nm - znufrii Jul 23, 11:49
- why just not pay amazon to give everyone in the US a kindle and $10 a month in free books. - tRuMaN Jul 23, 11:44 2
  - Because libraries are no longer just about books!! In fact ours are cutting back on physical books in favor of other services. -- nm - Meg Jul 23, 11:47 1
    - N9 kidding, our library has about 4 rows left in the adult section. More computer terminals, more audio books cds dvds -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 23, 13:42
- it follows similar logic to "I've never had a fire why should my taxes pay for a fire department!" -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 11:42
- And where would the kids go for their free summer activities? (I didn't read the article) - Meg Jul 23, 11:39 1
  - Occulus Rift! -- nm - rollo Jul 23, 13:04
- So, so, stupid. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 23, 11:33
- It doesn't make sense and the math doesn't add up. Amazon is already a huge drain on taxpayers. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 11:32
- this dude's getting dragged haaaard. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:32 2
  - Yeah, I saw this over the weekend. First response. -- (link) - Roger More Jul 23, 11:54 1
    - response here -- (link) - Roger More Jul 23, 11:54
- 4-0- We can’t find the page you requested but please try: -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:30 1
  - Yeah, I had a lot of trouble getting to the article in the first place. Try copy/pasting the URL. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 11:36
Kin is quite the ol' spin of the Wheel of Movie Genres - "Give me, gritty urban family drama annnnnnnd sci-fi bounty hunter!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:25
Is there a packed meal service that does *basic* foods like burgers and pork chops? - David Jul 23, 11:20 42
- my grocery store seems to have things like this now. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 11:45
- What I really need is the ability to buy just one stalk of celery. -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 11:30 8
  - This is one thing I like about meal kits. If you need three radishes, you get three radishes. You don't get a bunch that goes wilty in the fridge -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:37
  - this is actually true. my biggest problem when I try to cook is that I have to buy a thousand of something when the recipe calls for one. - amanda Jul 23, 11:35 6
    - Totally. It is getting better the more I cook now but that was a huge roadblock to me doing more cooking -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 11:41 5
      - this week for instance I am making falafel and need like a quarter cup of cilantro/parsley/mint mix. what do I do with the extra from the bunches?? - amanda Jul 23, 11:45 4
        
        Freeze them...and throw them out a few months later? - Meg Jul 23, 11:50
        
        reminds me of the thing I saw " I almost left the grocery store without my bag of spring mix that I'll throw away in 2 weeks" -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 11:49
        
        salsa and mojitos -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:47 1
        
        I mean, you arent'wrong -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 11:49
- Isn't the point of meal services that they include all the 'esoteric' ingredients you might no otherwise use? - Meg Jul 23, 11:24 7
  - That's why I'm asking. I'd like a meal service that ships all of those things I *don't* have in my fridge but would gladly eat. -- nm - David Jul 23, 11:25 6
    - Omaha Steaks, but they cost an arm and a leg. Spawnfoods is another, but I am a bit leery -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:26 5
      - with spawnfoods it's just kids menu foods like chicken fingers and fries all in seperate walled off areas in the packaging. -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:29 4
        
        So its a slightly upscale Lunchables? -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:32 3
        
        yes but not ketchup or mustard or mayo or relish or anything that drips -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:34 2
        
        This is quite amazing to me -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:39 1
        
        each food section has a mini force field to protect it from touching other food -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:47
- yeah, you get choices - take a look at Home Chef, I can get you a referral -- (link) - crash davis Jul 23, 11:23 4
  - How many servings is each of their recipes? Is there any flexibility? -- nm - Meg Jul 23, 11:33 3
    - You can pick two or three servings and I believe two or three meals a week. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:33 2
      - Ah, that's my biggest problem with 'formal' recipes. I think Weight Watchers recently publish a cookbook on recipes for one. - Meg Jul 23, 11:45 1
        
        Honestly, I don't think you really can go wrong with that either -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:46
- Some of them advertise as a little more "basic" than say, Blue Apron or Plated - Strongbad Jul 23, 11:23 6
  - We use Hello Fresh (veggie version though), i can't imagine it's more basic than Blue Apron. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 11:24 5
    - Maybe it was just a small sample size, we're pretty picky and didn't really care for Blue Apron's menu options. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 11:28 1
      - right, i'm just saying, i don't think Hello Fresh will be more basic than that. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 11:30
    - Blue Apron has really gone lower denominator on its menu over the past year -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:25 2
      - that's what happens when you have to justify your bottom line to stockholders -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:28 1
        
        *ding* like gym memberships - they can live off the profit of folks who are too lazy to cancel -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 11:37
- Aren't those just picking up a package of pork chops or pre-formed patties from the meat department? -- nm - Ender Jul 23, 11:22 4
  - or even Costco! -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:26 3
    - Aside: Costco is killing their food court hot dogs. Fuck you Costco. - Mop Jul 23, 11:29 2
      - really? where did you see that? -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:30 1
        
        this. love their hot dog and a pop for $1.50 deal -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 11:44
- There are burgers almost every week on Blue Apron and pork chops often. -- nm - jnine Jul 23, 11:21 6
  - I've looked at the menus of all the services. They're always funky ingredients. I need basics. -- nm - David Jul 23, 11:22 5
    - I find myself dropping the sauce a lot. - Strongbad Jul 23, 11:24 2
      - because they are yummy -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:27 1
        
        truth -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:27
    - I'm surprised by how much I scream "THIS!!!!" at this post. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 11:24 1
      - You guys don't have to make the flavorful sauces. You can just cook the steak and add ketchup if that is what you want. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:25
Zinke is giving Pruitt a run for his record and is now up to 11 ethics investigations -- (link) - decline Jul 23, 11:17 1
- Come on Ryan! You can catch Pruitt! I have faith in you! -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:29
We watched RP1 with the kids last night. They think it's the best movie EVER and give it an A+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++. - IrishStephen Jul 23, 11:11 7
- BoxLunch.com has clearance RP1 shirts your kids may like. -- (link) - David Jul 23, 11:22 1
  - Looks like the kids' ones are sold out, but thanks! -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 23, 11:33
- You're doing a great job as a parent! -- nm - David Jul 23, 11:18

  - Buying it? -- nm - Shaun Jul 23, 11:16 1
    - Costco yup. -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 11:32
Sorry To Bother You did *not* go where I was expecting it to. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:05 10
- It didn't bother you? -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 11:05 9
  - More accurately it went a place I never in a million years would have guessed it was going. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:10 8
    - I don't know why... (*Major Spoilers*) - Ender Jul 23, 11:27
    - [deleted] 3
      - that's not exactly right but it's in the vicinity - Reagen Jul 23, 11:21 2
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        he's not (spoils) - Reagen Jul 23, 12:09
    - Well, that would have been a rather long title. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 11:15
    - snuff film? -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 11:10 1
      - clown porn -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 11:17
Did I miss any Comic-Con movie trailers: Godzilla, Glass, Shazam, Aquaman... -- nm - MDH Jul 23, 10:55 4
- Clone Wars, Doc Who, DC Titans -- nm - Budice Jul 23, 11:03
- Fantastic Beasts, Halloween -- nm - Budice Jul 23, 10:59 1
  - Thanks! Saw the former, not the latter. -- nm - MDH Jul 23, 11:00
- Here is everything i09 covered in one easy link! :) -- (link) - Beaker Jul 23, 10:57
Ignore this - date change. -- nm* - MDH Jul 23, 10:53 2
- I guess we're ignoring this thread -- nm* - Strongbad Jul 23, 10:55 1
  - I guess we are not saving the date -- nm* -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 11:05
Sheesh, tried to postpone my quarterly podiatry appt because my callous hasn't built up too badly right now... - Meg Jul 23, 10:51
Colts GM: Andrew Luck will have no limitations in camp -- (link) - Remlik Jul 23, 10:48 4
- The limitation is that he is Andrew Luck. -- nm - I am posting this for David Jul 23, 11:17
- Good. -- nm - Strongbad, TY Hilton owner Jul 23, 11:03
- as long as he doesn't need to throw the ball, he's gonna do great -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:50
- we're ALL using nerf balls. -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 10:49
Guys! Tim Tebow broke his hand and is out for the remainder of the season -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:47 3
- That sucks. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 23, 11:07
- I blame Miss Universe. -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 10:48 1
  - For getting him all worked up and, you know.... -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 23, 10:56
Chick-fil-A is first quick service restaurant to test meal kits -- (link) - crash davis Jul 23, 10:44 5
- This is going to fail "Chicken Parmesan, Chicken Enchiladas, Dijon Chicken, Pan Roasted Chicken and Chicken Flatbread" - MDH Jul 23, 10:48 4
  - Right. -- nm - David Jul 23, 11:20
  - But I sense a theme. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:49 2
    - Nothing friend- which is the only reason they are famous. And waffle fries. -- nm - MDH Jul 23, 10:50 1
      - You'll have to pick up the kits at the store. So if you want fried, you just order that instead. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:21
God. Damn. that Glass trailer is stellar -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 10:41

In addition to Battlestar Galactica, I also watched the Adam West Batman on MeTV. I don't know who was worse at throwing punches, West or Shatner. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:29 25
- West. At least Shatner on TOS could do the big flying kick and double axe handle punch to the lower back -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 10:34 4
  - Shatners double clench punch is the worst designed fighting move in the history of the small screen. But West didn't even look like he was connecting - crash davis Jul 23, 10:41 3
    - oh yeah it was. but it looked dynamic in terms of tv fighting for the 60's -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 10:45 2
      - I remember thinking it had to be the toughest punch, because he used it on the Gorn and everybody else :) -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:48 1
        
        right? But when Khan shook it off you knew Kirk was in trouble -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 10:59
- Any Svengoolie? -- nm - David Jul 23, 10:34
- How is Trish doing ? -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:33 18
  - She is doing okay. The condition she had was much less than what the doctors feared. She'll probably be there till the end of the week though. - crash davis Jul 23, 10:39 17
    - Hope she is able to participate in ML Memorial 2018! -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 10:52 1
      - actually, she has given up on that one so Krusty is taking her place -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 11:18
    - *phew* Glad she's feeling better -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 10:47
    - Big Hugs! glad she is getting out soonish -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 10:43
    - That's great news! Make sure to take care of yourself, too, my friend. -- nm - David Jul 23, 10:41
    - give her all our love and hopes for a speedy recover -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:40 10
      - This. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 10:53
      - Thanks, she appreciates all the good thoughts except from Jim because he mentioned Pennywise. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:42 7
        
        I so want to make a joke here, but I wont -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 10:57 6
        
        let's all pitch in on Spawn's idea to send her a get well clown! -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:14 5
        
        stripper clown or like spawn clown? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 23, 11:15 4
        
        John Leguizamo! -- (link) - Remlik Jul 23, 11:19 [youtube]
        
        Like there is a difference. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 11:16 2
        
        there is a very big difference. - tRuMaN Jul 23, 11:17 1
        
        Dick in a box? -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 23, 11:19
      - this -- nm - Beaker Jul 23, 10:41
    - There is more to the story that I'll post some time when I have time to type more but it doesn't affect her status. -- nm - crash davis Jul 23, 10:40

  - *snort* -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 10:56
  - Heh. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 10:53 1
    - Ha! First line. -- nm - MDH Jul 23, 10:56

    - woot!! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 23, 11:38
    - yay! -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 10:47
- My manager and my manager's manager both have to sit in open plan. It makes zero sense given the sensitive info they deal with -- nm - ty97 Jul 23, 10:31 7
  - Maybe we should organize like car dealerships, big open plan with the decision makers on elevated platforms in the corner of the room -- nm - Strongbad Jul 23, 10:33
  - wait, so they have to go to an office and you get to sit in your living room in your underwear? -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:31 4
    - My manager goes in 1-2 days a week and works from home the rest of the time. - ty97 Jul 23, 10:34 3
      - do you ever have house parties where you all get together and work at someone's home? -- nm - decline Jul 23, 10:40 2
        
        Ummm...or auditors are taking us to a Yankees game next week? - ty97 Jul 23, 10:58 1
        
        can you get me a pretzel with cheese dip, please? thanks! -- nm - amanda Jul 23, 11:03
  - (To my second line's credit, he was offered an office but figured if his team was going to be open plan, so was he) -- nm* - ty97 Jul 23, 10:31
- They really are terrible for productivity. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 23, 10:27
