Does ST have any experience and/or recommendations for portable Bluetooth speakers? We may be in the market for one. - Shaun Jul 31, 06:02 4
- We have a couple of these (well, older versions) but the JBL Flip has real good sound... -- (link) - Johnny Lawrence Jul 31, 06:07
- you can find them cheaper new on ebay. I just bought two for $65 each. google home isn't portable though. do you want actually portable? for what uses - amanda Jul 31, 06:06 1
  - Whoa - it's like you know me. Super user? I don't know..I probably have more BT speakers than David has Tivos - does that make me a super user? -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 31, 06:11
- We have one of the version 1 models of this that I really like. -- (link) - oblique Jul 31, 06:04

  - That is fantastic. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Jul 31, 06:07
Alright. Stage 7/8. Use 50 berries and make an Excellent Curveball throw -- (edited) - oblique Jul 31, 05:50 18
- ALWAYS throw curveballs. - ty97 Jul 31, 05:57 11
  - I've perpetually been light on pokeballs until this whole gift thing. Now I have more than I need. I can definitely pick up my curveball game - oblique Jul 31, 06:01 9
    - you'll get better at curveballs with practice too so you won't go through as many pokeballs once you are used to it -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 06:10 8
      - LYC: My top IV pokemon are a Wailmer, Sealeo, Kabuto, Golduck, and... Rattata (Alola) at 96% - oblique Jul 31, 06:12 7
        
        LOL I don't even assess rats or pidgey or other common trash. - ty97 Jul 31, 06:17 6
        
        I had it marked favorite because it is Alohan. I haven't gone through and set the appraisal for all of them yet -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 06:22
        
        I think I have 2 100% - Magmar and Poliwrath. But, I'm strongly in the camp of "IVs don't matter". -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 31, 06:19 4
        
        I was less curious about IV overall and moreso interested in the features where it gives you an overall rating for how it will perform in a fight - oblique Jul 31, 06:24
        
        Hundo or trash it. - ty97 Jul 31, 06:21 2
        
        And IVs do matter, but not nearly as much as some folks make out. -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 06:22 1
        
        I like to say that just to annoy the IVers. The way I play, it means next to nothing. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 31, 06:27
  - I've gotten to the point where I have a hard time throwing a straight ball anymore. nm - Johnny Lawrence Jul 31, 05:59
- It's good to practice - but pick your 'Mon wisely. Some commons/sorta commons that are easier to Excellent: - Johnny Lawrence Jul 31, 05:54 5
  - Yeah, Wailmer is a great for that. Other not mentioned (but they aren't overly common) are Onix, Pontya, Nosepass. - ty97 Jul 31, 05:58
  - I also installed PokeMeter last night (iOS) and imported all my starred pokemon (best possible IV). Very interesting seeing the detailed stats, etc. -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 05:56 3
    - Does pokemeter use your PoGo login details to automatically import? If so, DON'T do that. - ty97 Jul 31, 06:12 2
      - No, it was all screenshots and then manual fixing -- nm - oblique Jul 31, 06:14 1
        
        okay, good. I use PokeGenie for same (and it uses screenshots as well) -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 06:17

Extinction - C-; I don't think I've seen a madeforNetflix movie that was close to being any good - prayformojo Jul 31, 05:23 6
- Didn't Mudbound and Okja get good reviews? - LMS Jul 31, 06:08
- I really liked "I don't feel at home in this world anymore", super dark comedy -- nm - Guigue Jul 31, 05:32
- A Futile and Stupid Gesture is good. Completely different type of movie, but good. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 31, 05:29
- I watched that set up one. it was fine. it was like a C- 90s rom com. (I miss rom coms so much. I can't wait for the spy who dumped me. I wish I could - amanda Jul 31, 05:27 1
  - Watch Kissing Booth! -- nm - Epiphany Jul 31, 06:26
- When We First Met is pretty good -- (link) - oblique Jul 31, 05:27

- ... why were the bombs there? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 21:17 4
  - somehow, 50 years ago despite both President Johnson & Nixon saying we never have and we never will bomb Cambodia, ……….. -- (edited) - peglegpete Jul 30, 21:22
  - I mean ... I guess Vietnam is the obvious answer. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 21:17 2

Adam Duvall to the Braves for three guys. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 30, 20:44 3
- Tucker has a ton of power but not much else. Wisler has had flashes but is unreliable. Sims is just...bad. -- nm - David Jul 30, 20:45 2
  - Duvall is hitting .194 away from cincinnati. So sounds like a barn burner all around. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 30, 20:49 1
    - Yeah, I don't really want him, but that's two spots we clear on our 40-man roster. - David Jul 30, 20:51

  - Even more provocatively that they loved the finale. -- nm - Reagen Jul 31, 05:27
- spoilers? - Tim Jul 30, 20:13 1
  - Right. It’s about impact. Not just whether the script was good. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 30, 20:35
- Let’s all agree never to post a list from Rotten Tomatoes or The Ringer ever again. - David Jul 30, 19:13 3
  - I know. Not a single episode of Search Party. -- nm - Dano Jul 30, 19:31 1

    - And ... a young Burton Guster? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 17:13 7
      - Of course. He was a regular. Its all the actors in bit and single episodes that are getting me. -- nm - crash davis Jul 30, 17:15 6
        
        you should listen to the West Wing Weekly podcast -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 17:19 5
        
        I made it 3 episodes in. That show was terrible for my tastes. - Will Hunting, God of Blood Feud Jul 30, 17:25 4
        
        that was how it started...they get to that pretty quick and the get Sorkin on there a few times -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 17:28 3
        
        ? So did they improve on actually talking about the show? -- nm - Will Hunting, God of Blood Feud Jul 30, 17:29 2
        
        at times yes. At times they talk about the topic of the episode and get policy wonks on there to discuss it... - Remlik Jul 30, 17:31 1

Next week, I expect the arrival of a new service called FilmPass. - David Jul 30, 16:32 10

- BOPass! -- nm - Remlik Jul 30, 16:44
- Just set the subscription price higher. - Will Hunting, God of Blood Feud Jul 30, 16:44 1
  - Problem is they've set expectations price wise. It would have to be a different company now (like AMC's). -- nm - MDH Jul 30, 16:52
- I wonder how AMC is doing - JD Jul 30, 16:42 3
  - I read that AMC is only paying 40% of each ticket's price. With it costing $20 a month, that makes their model way more viable. - Inigo Jul 31, 06:15
