  - the grocery store I most often go to for some reason has separate tills for the fish, meat, and everything else. I'll often go to all three. - mafic Jul 31, 20:18 1
    - the meat and fish departments are probably separate businesses. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 31, 21:06

  - Wow, that's blissfully ignorant policy. -- nm - David Jul 31, 20:07 1
    - one guy was basically "it's because I'm Indian isn't it? ADMIT IT!" "Prove to me you're HSBC." "uhhh... how?" -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 20:12

- yum! -- nm - b. Jul 31, 19:44
Bery., did the ST updates you mentioned on a bb impact amazon links showing? at least, I'm not seeing anything at the bottom of pages. -- nm - b. Jul 31, 19:32 4
- Maybe. I think it also affected the new post highlighting feature a bit. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 19:35 2
  - I was wondering about that. My posts seem to be highlighted until a second refresh. -- nm - Meg Jul 31, 19:50 1

        I presume that Baszler is who they'd use, but she's so blah. -- nm - David Jul 31, 20:03 2
        
        I don't really care for her but she's doing fine as a bully champion in NXT. -- nm - Tim Jul 31, 20:04 1
        
        See, that's the thing. - David Jul 31, 20:07

        I think Rousey has the fever. That woman is joyful in her appearances. -- nm - Will Hunting, God of Blood Feud Jul 31, 20:07 2
        
        The best thing she does in WWE is go from smiling, happy to be here fan to turning on the murderface. -- nm - Tim Jul 31, 20:12 1
        
        Murderface was my hero's name in Final Fantasy: A New Empire! -- nm - David Jul 31, 20:16
      - buildup for the 4 horsewomen vs. 4 Horsewomen starts at Evolution I think. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 19:57 1
        
        it will be interesting if they can turn Ronda heel. - Tim Jul 31, 20:02
  - *stifles comment* -- nm - Tim Jul 31, 19:46 4
    - If this was about my girl, you're delusional. She's right there after the four horsewomen. - David Jul 31, 19:51 3
      - Liv has potential (mega points for her great sells of Ember Moon's finisher), Sarah Logan was supposedly legit on the indies. - Tim Jul 31, 19:53 2
        
        Logan and Morgan work very well as a psychotic odd couple. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:55 1
        
        they really really do. CJ has really become a fan of those two. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 19:58
  - I agree. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 19:46
- Also, her accent has started to Kevin Costner. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:29 4
  - she got rid of the accent a long time ago. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 19:42 2
    - She hasn't. It just comes and goes. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:43 1
      - huh for last several months anytime I've seen her talk she hasn't had it...yeah her wrestling is rough for damn sure. -- nm - Remlik Jul 31, 19:44
  - She's so incredibly awkward as a wrestler and they should just can the accent already, we know she's not really Russian. -- nm - Tim Jul 31, 19:33
Last night's power outage at Dodger Stadium was caused by a mylar balloon :/ -- (link) - Meg Jul 31, 19:22
Jose Reyes gave up 6 runs in 1 inning. He did better than Steven Matz. -- nm - Will Hunting, Ruler Supreme of Blood Feud Jul 31, 19:22 1

This game is such a blowout that Bryce Harper has two hits. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:14 2
- He'll get his average up to .248 and win the MVP -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 19:29 1
  - And it *still* wouldn't be as weak as winning it for an 83-win team! -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:30
Ummmmm, Mets? -- nm - ty97 Jul 31, 19:07 1

  - btw, I'm really sorry to hear about it -- nm - crash davis Jul 31, 19:38 1
    - Eh, more just an inconvenience than anything else, all told. -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 31, 19:40
- Gift cards -- nm - Flavorize Jul 31, 19:25
- what the hell are they buying? how much beef jerky can you eat?...oh...beer -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 31, 19:09 3
  - Scratchies. -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 31, 19:34
  - Beer wouldn't be likely to come up as a round number though. I figure either gift cards, or just running it through as a pre-pay for that amount and taking the cash. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 31, 19:11 1
    - Was this debit or credit? My gas station pre-authorizes credit for a round number and settles for the actual amount. -- nm - Meg Jul 31, 19:19
- Shucks.. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 31, 18:51
I’m on a Sam Rockwell kick these days. Tell me, ST, what’s your favorite movie in which he co-stars? -- nm - kelly Jul 31, 18:32 48
- Thanks, all. I’ve seen most of these but I’ll be adding Seven Psychopaths, Lawn Dogs, Snow Angels and Gentlemen Broncos to my list. -- nm - kelly Jul 31, 19:45 1
  - Beware. Snow Angels is not a feel good romp. -- nm - Dano Jul 31, 19:52
- What this thread proves emphatically is that Sam Rockwell is having a damned amazing movie career. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:40 2
  - Also that no one cares about 3 Billboards. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 19:49 1

- Mr. Right -- nm - decline Jul 31, 19:39
- Maybe Hitchhikers Guide. Hard to say. -- nm - Krusty Jul 31, 19:11
- My quick reaction instinct was Seven Psycopaths, but I should watch it again. I think I'd go Way Way Back. -- nm - Max Jul 31, 19:06
- Galaxy Quest and Charlie's Angel's -- nm - J Jul 31, 19:01 2

    - I love the film and especially his character. -- nm - David Jul 31, 19:01 1
      - I don't really hate it. he was great, I was not wild for the rest of it. -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 19:04
    - It's one of my least-favourite MCU flicks, but even I wouldn't want it to burn. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 18:44 7
      - ok, maybe just a ceremonial burning of a single copy to open the festival. -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 18:47 6
        
        Will you allow a short clip of Rockwell's dancing in it? nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 18:48 3
        
        Also: Happy birthday! nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 18:49 2
        
        woo! Imma drink whisky and eat French food! not in that order. -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 18:50 1
        
        joyeux fête! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 18:52
        
        No. Smash it with a Jackhammer. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 18:48 1
        
        And what about cowboys and aliens? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 31, 18:50
  - He's also good in The Way Way Back. nm -- (edited) - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 18:41
- Top 3: Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, Lawn Dogs, Snow Angels -- nm - Dano Jul 31, 18:39 1
  - my brain made this Snow Dogs. Cuba Gooding Jr. at his best! -- nm - mafic Jul 31, 18:45

- Galaxy Quest. Hands down. No others need apply. - TWuG Jul 31, 18:34 3
  - This is the correct answer, but in the interest of adding to the list, I'll say Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. nm - ralph wiggum Jul 31, 18:37 2
    - great film -- nm - peglegpete Jul 31, 18:40

I've tracked my dinner and a beer and still have 16 WW points left for the day?? - Meg Jul 31, 18:28 2
- WW = wine wine -- nm - peglegpete Jul 31, 18:30 1
  - I guess the beer substituted for my regular dinner wine but there will be a nightcap later and dessert :) - Meg Jul 31, 18:36
Thing I don't understand: why half the answers to product questions on Amazon are: "I don't know" - Guigue Jul 31, 18:23 6
- because Amazon probably emails them questions about the product they bought, and they just answer them honestly, not knowing they'll show up on the site? -- nm* - znufrii Jul 31, 18:35 3
  - exactly - they send emails that say something like "can you answer this question about xxxxx?" and give a link. -- nm - b. Jul 31, 19:09
  - Possibly, now I image all these old people opening their email, adjusting their glasses, and answering "I don't know" to all the Amazon emails -- nm - Guigue Jul 31, 18:51 1
    - I should try that for them and any other vendor that asks me to review something I've ordered for the library. - Meg Jul 31, 19:04
- I don't know -- nm - Spawn: I AM Blood Feud Jul 31, 18:28 1
  - WHY?! -- nm - Guigue Jul 31, 18:48

- the first 12 seconds are the hardest -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 31, 19:12
Mop! Do you have archives of articles at The-Trades? -- nm - Max Jul 31, 18:15
