- I clicked the link before I started to remember how long it takes SI to load, thought about it, then closed the tab. While it was still loading. -- nm - Max Jul 25, 09:20

- rough night -- nm - decline Jul 25, 08:27
- yikes. that sounds exhausting. -- nm - Andie Jul 25, 08:26 1

"Your Purple Mattress will be shipping soon." -- nm - Baron Starr, unduly excited Jul 25, 07:54 5
- is that the one that sued a reviewer because of particles left over in the mattress? dont mean to be negative, I just cant keep the brands straight. -- (edited) - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:00 4
  - It is and they won. He was working for Ghost Bed. -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 25, 08:22 3
    - Is that the one where the sexy teen died during coitus or was that Ghost Bed 2? -- nm - David Jul 25, 08:45 1
      - That sounds like Final Destination 6, or possibly 9. -- nm - Baron Starr Jul 25, 08:50
    - ahh, cool. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:43
lyc, but these speakers I got for home office are awesome. - tRuMaN Jul 25, 07:52 2

- hnm, so my question. - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:00 1
  - Still sexual assault, for sure. I think rape probably requires penetration, legally. I could be wrong. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:31

Me: What do you guys want to listen to for our 3 hour drive this weekend? Unanimous response: ABBA's greatest hits!! - Beaker Jul 25, 07:41 22
- There are two songs of ABBA I really like. Waterloo and SO'S. Others are meh or doslike -- nm - Amoxy Jul 25, 08:12
- I would do that but with the 3-CD set, Thank You For the Music. - Covington Jul 25, 07:51 2
  - I did not know about this. There's a four disc version on Spotify that's longer than the 3 hour drive -- nm - JD Jul 25, 08:02 1
    - You made me go check. It is, in fact, 4 CDs. -- nm* - Covington Jul 25, 08:03

        one more. If you haven't read it there is a fun oral history on the making of it I posted a bit ago, well worth a read -- (link) - Beaker Jul 25, 08:24 [youtube]
        
        much like Anchorman it took me multiple viewings to do a 180 on my feelings about this movie -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 08:02 3
        
        It was an instant classic for me. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 08:03 2
        
        I didn't make it through the whole movie. I hated it. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 08:17 1
        
        FOOL. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 08:33

  - epic even -- nm - decline Jul 25, 08:13

Donald Trump's star on the Walk of Fame destroyed. -- (link) - Ender Jul 25, 07:37 8
- Now I'm curious about the history of stars being removed for notorious figures. Does Cosby have one still there? -- nm - Max Jul 25, 08:27 1
  - The Chamber says they never remove stars. -- (link) - mara Jul 25, 08:32
- wow, just dont read the twitter responses. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:06
- I find this hilarious -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 07:39 4
  - It is for sure, but it's also straight up vandalism and hopefully the person gets arrested. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 08:07 2
    - He turned himself in. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 08:34
    - correct. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:13
  - its amazing. -- nm - Jovian Jul 25, 08:04
anyone watch the episodes of Castle Rock on HULU yet? -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 07:37 5
- I need to watch this...but I need to really finish Lost in Space first -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 07:41 2
  - Lost in Space is such a slog. I might give up on it - decline Jul 25, 07:42 1
    - My dad said the same thing but he also said to finish. It apparently is worth it in the end -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 08:01
- are they up? shit! I'll watch them tonight -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 07:38 1

  - ::high five:: - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:53
- The biggest thing to know if you buy one, do not pay attention to their oil change schedule. You need to change it more often and you need to add oil - jnine Jul 25, 08:03 1
  - Awesome. If you could/would note random thoughts you have and let me know. Here or email. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:24
- i wonder if this is smaller than a miata. maybe test drive one of those too. - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:03 2
  - *zoom zoom* -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:12 1
    - exactly. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:14
- Get a Fiat instead. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 07:54 5
  - Fiat is always dead last in brand ratings. Just looked to confirm, and was 34 out of 34 in CR last year. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:58 4
    - My friend has a Fiat and it feels noticeably smaller inside. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 08:00 1
      - Yeah, I really like small cars but they seem a bit much just from looking in their windows. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:07
    - Fair enough. I wouldn't expect quirky little sports cars to rank that highly anyway. -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 08:00 1
      - Yeah, but last is last. I keep hearing about how stiff they are, how bad the seats are, limited visibility, low mpg and vibrations. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:10
- I'm driving my second Mini Cooper S, but hardtop, not convertibles. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 07:44 6
  - I would love the hardtop. I should start looking for one. -- nm - mara Jul 25, 07:50 1
    - I am trying to decide if the convertible is worth it. Amy mentioned that most of my driving *is* highway. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:52
  - Drove a hardtop first. Had dinner and got to thinking about it so went and drove a convertible. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:46 3
    - I do a lot of freeway and highway driving and the convertible was too noisy. If I did mostly street driving, it would be fine. I don't really have - jnine Jul 25, 07:53 2
      - Hmmm (to your OM). I drove the hardtop solo but the convertible was with the salesman, so there was conversation going. Thanks. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:56 1
        
        The prior design of the convertible had the roll bars where they blocked your view backing up. With the back up camera, this probably wouldn't be a - jnine Jul 25, 07:59
- I see a lot of girls driving them -- nm - decline Jul 25, 07:41 1
  - They are the VW Cabrio for a whole new generation of sassy singles -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:43
- Lots of women do -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:40 6
  - The same was said for my Del Sol. Drove two last night. Like driving a go-cart. Total blast. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:44 5
    - You should, of course and as always, do you. If any dude could pull off driving a chick-centric car, I suspect you are that dude. -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 07:48 4
      - More that I don't really think like that. The Del Sol was a blast to drive but this thing is like jet powered go cart. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:50 3
        
        It is great for handling and driving. I get a lot of rental cars and I feel like I'm not really driving in them, just floating. The only car I've had - jnine Jul 25, 07:56 2
        
        Yeah, I had gotten used to the "disconnect" from the road but I think it is time to get reacquainted. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 08:21 1
        
        That would do it! -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 10:06

- gave oldest Bob in Vampire costume yesterday. I owe my youngest two new ones...she gave me Silver Surfer plus one for yard work this weekend -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 07:39 4
  - Your kids reward you for doing yardwork...? - Shaun Jul 25, 07:43 3
    - heh, no her reward. she traded me Silver Surfer for a Funko to be named later. One will be a StarLord for sure - Beaker Jul 25, 07:45 2
      - Moncton has a Hot Topic eh? -- nm - Shaun Jul 25, 08:04 1
        
        yup -- nm - Beaker Jul 25, 08:18
LIR: Pippy. Snacking. I have so many things on my cooking list now but those fathead chips are high up there too - oblique Jul 25, 07:35 9
- yes, I need a grade on those when you make them. Whisps were a game changer for me. # 1 keto item find. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 07:36 8
  - what are whisps? -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:04 6
    - basically fried cheese crisps. sort of like chips but low carbs -- (link) - Epiphany Jul 25, 08:08 5
      - so not for me, k then. thanks. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:14 4
        
        sorry my non dairy friend -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 08:26 3
        
        yeah keto dairy free is a struggle a lot of times. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:43 2
        
        I can imagine. Most of the stuff I see that I'm interested in making has a lot of cheese -- nm - oblique Jul 25, 08:45 1
        
        *grumble grumble grumble* - tRuMaN Jul 25, 08:54
  - Oh, nice. I saw something similar to that at our work snack shop thing but I think they weren't as low carb as that. Must have been only like half - oblique Jul 25, 07:40
pfm B2: I am looking to buy a car. Was at a dealer last night that had just taken in a 2014 Prius with 16k miles on it, owned by an 85 year old man. - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:34 5
- sash bought a 2009 lexus SUV in 2012 that had been owned by old people. it had under 10k miles on it. -- nm - amanda Jul 25, 07:45 2
  - Yeah, I am thinking it was actually a 2012 because the sales guy mentioned, "Not even 3k a year on it". -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 25, 07:48
  - did it smell like old people too? -- nm - decline Jul 25, 07:48
- to the IM - and it was a Prius. heh. -- nm - Epiphany Jul 25, 07:36 1
