Sometimes, features of the parliamentary system make sense to me. Other times, I look at places like Australia right now and say "no thanks" -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:45 5
- The way I see it, every democracy is under constant siege from fringe minority views and a good test of the system is the extent to which it allows - Roger More Aug 24, 11:09
- tbf, this could absolutely happen with the Speaker of the House. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 10:53 3
  - (Who doesn’t have any executive power) -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 11:00 1
    - Yes, but for funsies. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 11:04
  - Yeah, but it doesn't. What is this for Australia? 5th PM in the 2010s? They've been Italian this decade. -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:57
Last night was a total shut show. New form of meth is around, I was up most of the night dealing with crazies. But I got some good news just now. - Amoxy Aug 24, 10:32 7
- Great! Even if you don't get a copy, I would like to see some pics of your doggy. -- nm - jnine Aug 24, 12:01
- that's awesome! -- nm - Diva Aug 24, 10:38
- that is so great. So proud of you! -- nm* - Andie Aug 24, 10:38
- Very cool. Proud of you and really like your willingness to share your story. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 10:35
- that's very cool (the second part - the first part is not so cool) -- nm - decline Aug 24, 10:34 1
  - Yeah, students are back and they brought a different strain of meth. Need a Heisenberg in town -- nm - Amoxy Aug 24, 10:55
- That is great. I've said before that I'm proud of you and the work you've accomplished, but I've never complimented your dog. So WTG doggie! -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:34

NWBR, Thanks for handling those draft cards for me. -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:25 1
- Second -- nm - Amoxy Aug 24, 10:26
This WholeFoods 'Lemonade' Nutrient Enhanced Water Beverage is just awful. Looks at ingredients: WTF is Monk Fruit Extract? and why is it in lemonade? -- nm - decline Aug 24, 10:15 1
- To answer your last question: because it is Whole Foods -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:18
Learned a new term today. "cheeking" - Amoxy Aug 24, 10:14 1

  - *Tacks on a 4 paragraph essay about the dangers of moral censorship in a repressive society just to make Mop happy* -- nm* - crash davis Aug 24, 10:31
- ...wow. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 10:26 1
  - Yeah, I would like a live chicken and 100 eggs for telling people "don't do it in the butt". Seems like easy money, or easy eggs, or over easy eggs.. -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:28
“File number of any other [affiliated company]” really means “...of all other [affiliated companies]”, right? - znufrii, promoted Aug 24, 10:09 2
- yes -- nm - decline Aug 24, 10:11 1
  - Then why don’t they just say that? *grumble* -- (edited) - znufrii, promoted Aug 24, 10:21
Sorry Jack, enormous study finds there is no safe amount of alcohol to drink -- (link) - oblique Aug 24, 10:06 2

- Fake News! -- nm - decline Aug 24, 10:11
David, I know Soto's down right now -- but I'll take his 3 months of solid play over Acuna's 2 weeks of absurd play (at this moment) - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 10:01 13
- You're forgetting that the -only- reason Acuna slowed down was he injured himself in a way that looked like a season-ending ACL tear. - David Aug 24, 10:14 12
  - We'll see...so far, Acuna's a very good player riding a ridiculous 14 day streak. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 10:31 10
    - let's recall the first month and a half Albies was on another planet too. -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 10:36 1
      - Albies also has 3.1 WAR but in 50 more games. - David Aug 24, 10:55
    - WAR: 3.1 for Acuna, Soto 2.0. It's not close, and it's only going to get worse. -- nm - David Aug 24, 10:35 7
      - We might have a couple guys ending up in this discussion before the year is out. nm - NiKlaus Aug 24, 10:53 5
        
        I was thinking about this just this morning, look how well many of the "new" managers are doing.... - groiny Aug 24, 11:01 2
        
        This team has gotten fun to watch again. I can tell you that a month ago, there's not a chance in hell I stay up to watch a west coast game. nm - NiKlaus Aug 24, 11:05
        
        Kapler started off god-awful...has he gotten better or is it a case he's just not bad enough to stop them from doing okay. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 11:03
        
        I'd be surprised if you had anyone who approached Soto in the vote. He's special, too. He's just not Acuna. I presume you mean Flaherty. -- nm - David Aug 24, 10:58 1
        
        Flaherty is one. But don't sleep on Bader. He's the rookie leader in WAR right now. If he can get that OPS up, he could end up in the conversation. nm - NiKlaus Aug 24, 11:04
      - I've finally come around to accepting WAR. I wish there was something in football I could accept as well as WAR -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:37
  - that guy sucks! -- nm - decline Aug 24, 10:16

2019 Dodge RAM 1500: First Hybrid US Pickup - crash davis Aug 24, 09:50 7
- Nice. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 10:07
- not as pretty as that Russian car -- nm - decline Aug 24, 09:57 1
  - There is not much in the auto world that can match that Russian car -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:29
- (~10% better fuel efficient and 2 mpg difference vs. non-hybrid Ram) -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:52 3
  - I taking it as its not that the dog speaks poorly, but that the dog can speak at all. -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 10:08
  - buwhaaa -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:59 1
    - nailed it -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 10:00
"If we can hit that bullseye, the rest of the dominos will fall like a house of cards. Checkmate." -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 09:49
Sausage Party was on FX last night. Just think about that for a moment. -- nm - David Aug 24, 09:43 4
- Was it 12 minutes long? -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 09:48 1
  - for reals -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:49
- *thinks* Now I'm hungry. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 09:46
- yeah -- nm - prayformojo Aug 24, 09:44
So there's a portion of 1AU Redux that's not joke, either... - IrishStephen Aug 24, 09:42 2
- That is easily the worst one. - the wrong element, bad guy Aug 24, 09:50 1
  - I just watched a guy run through that part in like 5 minutes (on a PC). - IrishStephen Aug 24, 10:00
New Suspiria trailer -- (link) - LMS Aug 24, 09:38 [youtube] 1
- yup -- nm - budice Aug 24, 09:46
FYI - Ticketmaster/LiveNation are having a $25 ticket sale for a bunch of shows. Here's all of them: -- (link) - JaxSean Aug 24, 09:35 3
- my options in there are pretty shitty. -- nm - groiny Aug 24, 09:52 1
  - Yeah, nothing nearby me is worth it. And by "nearby" I mean 2 hours to Orlando. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 24, 10:37
- I love how T-Mobile made it seem like they were the ones giving these out. Sneaky bastards. -- nm - Qale Aug 24, 09:41
It’s amusing to me that I know all about Beto’s policies. But didn’t know he could skateboard. I’ve let Kalki down. -- nm - Qale Aug 24, 09:35 3
- I got my bumper sticker. Anything you can tell me about his stance on the police? I got to convince a neighbor and she's very 'back the blue' -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:50 2
  - He hasn’t anything listed specifically for police, but he’s no fan of the prisons for profit thing we got going on. He’s only mildly 420 friendly. -- nm - Qale Aug 24, 09:56 1
    - gracias -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 10:00
Reality Winner's mother has gone to Twitter asking Trump to pardon her daughter. Earlier, Trump referred to the 63 month sentence as "unfair" -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:34 8
- 63 months is unfair. Petraeus got 2 years' probation on a misdemeanor. - David Aug 24, 09:37 7
  - She agreed to the 63 months, though, yes? -- nm - NiKlaus Aug 24, 09:48 3
    - Her negotiating leverage was non-existent. -- nm - David Aug 24, 09:55
    - My understanding was that she had a plea agreement for 63 months but the judge had the option to accept or go longer. -- nm* - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:50 1
      - That's what I thought as well. nm -- nm - NiKlaus Aug 24, 09:52
  - And that's the wrong thing? - Cuzzin Todd Aug 24, 09:40 2
    - Just count the number of poor decisions you've made that involved it! -- nm - David Aug 24, 09:41
    - fish in the office microwave -- nm - prayformojo Aug 24, 09:40
Why would Steve Earle's grandpappy need to buy 100 pounds of yeast to make moonshine? That is insane overkill on yeast requirements. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 09:33 2
- Only come to town about twice a year. -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Aug 24, 10:14
- The song doesn't mention that they also made bread for everyone in the holler. -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 09:40

Elections 2018 - Lyft providing free rides to voting locations -- (link) - budice Aug 24, 09:28
I've mentioned it before. This scene in Mr. Robot is basically Mueller. It must be pretty iconic. It's been uploaded multiple times to YouTube. -- (link) - Mop Aug 24, 09:22 [youtube] 5
- Why was it reversed? -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 09:26 4
  - To keep YouTube's content ID system from recognizing it as copyrighted video. -- nm - Mop Aug 24, 09:32 3
    - devious -- nm - decline Aug 24, 10:13 1
      - It's a pretty basic yet surprisingly effective hack. I'm surprised YouTube hasn't adapted to it. It's lazy of them, frankly. - Mop Aug 24, 10:27
    - Ah. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 09:32
Robin Leach and his show were a major contributor to the cult of celebrity early in the career of Trump. -- nm - Mop Aug 24, 09:18 4
- The first times I remember hearing about Trump - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:20 3
  - Bloom County. -- nm - Reagen Aug 24, 10:19
  - Those who haven't seen it should really watch ESPN's 30 For 30: "Small Potatoes: Who killed the USFL?" -- nm - Mop Aug 24, 09:25 1
    - Agreed. It was really good. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:26
B2: Good. (Randolph County) -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:15 11
- One tidbit of information I learned today, just to add to the conversation. - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:25 10
  - The county voted for Clinton +11, so I'd have to see a source for this info. -- (link) - Roger More Aug 24, 09:34 9
    - Found it... the by polling booth location results at least. I don't know which ones faced closure except that one of them is Cuthbert Middle School -- (edited) - Roger More Aug 24, 09:38 7
      - OK, I have the data now. - Roger More Aug 24, 10:00 4
        
        Thanks, and I agree with the bottom part of your IM. - Strongbad Aug 24, 10:09 3
        
        80% of people under the poverty line there are African American (1600 people out of 8000 total) so there’s probably not much “if” there. -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 10:48 2
        
        I don't think it's fair to apply a national data point like that to a rural Georgia precinct where 86 people voted. - Strongbad Aug 24, 10:53 1
        
        Sorry, what national data point? -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 11:20
      - Good info. Still looking for the complete list of closures - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:48
      - So, it's exactly what it sounds like. People who try to disenfranchise legal voters have committed treason and deserve imprisonment. -- nm - David Aug 24, 09:44
    - I'm looking for it too. Will post what I can find. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:37
Here's your damn sandwich! Will that make you stop crying!? WILL IT?...I *knew* I should have picked Damon! -- nm - Jenny G. si Aug 24, 09:05 14
- This makes me very sad. Moreso because it was photographed. -- nm - Mop Aug 24, 09:33
- For all the crap he deserves, Affleck must have done one incredibly good thing in his life to have crossed paths with her. - crash davis Aug 24, 09:12 12
  - DareDevil? No. - Spawn Aug 24, 09:27
  - You'd think so, but they met when filming Daredevil and got together filming Elektra. -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 09:19 5
    - [deleted] 3
      - You're not only right, you're proving my point! -- nm - Roger More Aug 24, 10:02
      - They were both in it? Huh. I have never seen it. -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 09:31 1
        
        It's got 45 great minutes. - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 09:35
    - that's funny -- nm - prayformojo Aug 24, 09:21

    - I saw her on Colbert last year. They were old friends as she used to babysit for the Colberts - crash davis Aug 24, 09:37
  - Let's not overlook the possibility that she's secretly a bad person. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 09:14 2
    - What, like, a spy? -- nm - Spawn Aug 24, 09:28 1
      - With a possible assassin slant. -- nm - Will Hunting, King of Blood Feud Aug 24, 09:35

- Did you ever try the Quest bars? What did you think? - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:16 3

    - I use them for breakfast occasionally. - Strongbad Aug 24, 09:22 1
      - Yeah. I've had the cookies and cream one also. That was good. -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 09:23

  - I've eaten a couple fast food burgers bunless. It's ok. I will say I stopped at Taco Bell and got their breakfast mini skillet with steak added and - oblique Aug 24, 09:23 1
    - Interesting. I'm going to keep this in mind since I will be traveling and I may need to do this. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:27
- Oh. And I have these in my Amazon cart for my next order -- (link) - oblique Aug 24, 09:02 4
  - those look great! I'm trying Quest bars & Quest chips next. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:04 3
    - My wife is all over them. With her being vegetarian, protein was always an issue and she loves them so much more than protein shakes. I've been - oblique Aug 24, 09:06 2
      - One more item for you to take a look at - Strongbad Aug 24, 10:11
      - great idea in the IM - I'm going to try that. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:10

  - I ate pizza and chicken wings and onion rings for dinner last night -- nm - decline Aug 24, 08:58 4
    - If I have time this weekend I'm going to make a "fat head" pepperoni pizza at home. It's been on my list but haven't gotten around to it. -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 08:59 3
      - Yes!! I'm going to do the same. I made another mushroom cap pizza and it was fine but I'm ready for pizza. -- nm - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:03 2
        
        Eating out has been mostly fine. I just order steak and veggies. But yeah, pizza is really a killer :) -- nm - oblique Aug 24, 09:05 1
        
        oh shit!! the newest news - I put in an order for someone to make me meal prep boxes. She had a menu and I ordered 5 of the boxes. I won't do it all - Epiphany Aug 24, 09:12
