    - One of the biggest issues is that Season two is THE WORST. So you have to have a lot of faith to stick with it. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 10, 07:32
- FNL is the bomb. My daughter enjoyed watching it but never got hooked like we did. -- nm - oblique Oct 10, 07:26

How do you feel about the idea of eliminating drive-thrus to reduce carbon emissions? - Beaker Oct 10, 06:46 45
- The real solution to this is a combination of electric cars, and the newer cars that turn themselves off when they're stopped. -- nm - Ender Oct 10, 07:56
- It's more likely we'll see greater EV doption before that happens -- nm - TWuG Oct 10, 07:54
- You could try it. Personally I almost always park and go in as often that's a shorter wait. An action that probably doesn't have an emissions impact - JD Oct 10, 07:46
- Civilian transportation is one of the smaller fractions of the pollution pie. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:19 15
  - I wouldn’t say one of the smaller. Transport emissions are about 1/4 of Canada’s total, and half of those are from cars, SUVs vans and light trucks. -- (link*) - Roger More Oct 10, 07:31
  - but there is no one magic bullet. no matter what you pick someone can say "but that won't fix EVERYTHING, there is no point doing it." -- (edited) - Andie Oct 10, 07:20 12
    - Yes, but it’s like budgeting: when you need to make room for something, you don’t belt-tighten on thumbtacks, you reduce travel on the corporate jets. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:25 10
      - sure. that needs to happen. a LOT needs to happen though. and everyone wants to pass it on to someone else to deal with. we have to start taking - Andie Oct 10, 07:30 8
        
        “100 corporations are responsible for 71% of emissions” is the slightly-misleading headline I’ve seen the past couple weeks. Not sure if McDonalds - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:35 7
        
        I assume McDonalds would be because the environmental impact of its supply chain is enormous. -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 07:37 6
        
        The list of 100 corporations is pretty much all Coal and oil companies. -- nm - Ender Oct 10, 07:43 1
        
        Thanks -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 07:56
        
        But would that even count drivethru emissions, or just cow farts? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:40 3
        
        I wouldn’t expect it to include drive thru emissions, but companies like McDonalds can still make decisions that would reduce drive thru emissions. - Roger More Oct 10, 07:46 1
        
        McDonalds has enabled app-based ordering which can speed things up. I’m not sure if their two-lane drivethrus reduce emissions. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:52
        
        (I’d have to read the actual study, but I’m guessing vehicular emissions got attributed to Shell et al) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:41
      - Or maybe “you don’t just ...” -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:26
    - The search for the perfect solution is gonna kill us all. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 07:23
  - The Rock likes pie. Spawn likes strudel. -- nm - Shaun Oct 10, 07:19
- I'd only allow high-speed drive thrus -- nm - decline Oct 10, 07:09
- I can only imagine the chaos that would ensue around certain Tim's locations if drive-thrus were gone. -- nm - Shaun Oct 10, 07:08 5
  - Side note: would they be as popular if they used his real name - Reagen Oct 10, 07:13
  - More chaos than they already cause? -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 07:09 3
    - There's next to zero parking at two that I'm thinking of so probably. -- nm - Shaun Oct 10, 07:14 2
      - the King Street one would be in.sane. or moreso than it already is -- nm - Beaker Oct 10, 07:21 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Shaun Oct 10, 07:22
- B, I'd put more restrictions on cars in general, and there would be an effect on drive thrus anyway - Guigue Oct 10, 07:07
- Less drivethru = more demand for parking which will have its own issues. A better solution is to charge for drive thru and put the money into a fund - Roger More Oct 10, 07:04 4
  - I will agree with the idea that "but it's convenient for *me*" is an attitude that we're going to have to get over. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 07:08 1
    - yes, yes we do. suck it up, prince and princesses. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 07:11
  - But if you charge for drive thru, people will park their cars, so in essence it's pretty much the same thing - Guigue Oct 10, 07:08 1
    - There’s be a different equilibrium. People would want to avoid the longer lines inside the store, so they migh prefer to pay the charge -- nm - Roger More Oct 10, 07:13
- 3 or 4 - I'm not really for or against - Epiphany Oct 10, 06:57
- I'd want to see a more detailed study showing what the effects are. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 06:55 4
  - yup, is the 1 minute saved from eliminating it offset by the extra waiting for a parking spot and restarting your car for example -- nm - Beaker Oct 10, 07:20 1
    - Researching this, ten seconds seems to be the cut off point. - Reagen Oct 10, 07:49
  - This -- nm - Strongbad Oct 10, 07:03
  - [deleted]
- Seems silly. If you want to deal with car emissions, mandate electric -- nm - oblique Oct 10, 06:49 1
  - This is where I’m at. But also, reduce parking everywhere & invest in public transportation. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 07:43
- 1. People are too f*cking lazy. - JaxSean Oct 10, 06:49 1
  - word. -- nm - Mandy 94% Oct 10, 07:14
- this is a local news poll. I added 4 as they only have the first 3 options to vote on -- nm - Beaker Oct 10, 06:49
- I think we need to start taking about a thousand small steps to reverse things. So, sure. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 06:48
- *ponders* ... ... 2? -- nm - rollo Oct 10, 06:47
REB2: Yeah, accuweather and weather.com are interminably slow, even on good days. I use Dark Sky, like maj. -- nm - Ender Oct 10, 06:37 2

  - the toy drum is just creeeeeepy -- nm - decline Oct 10, 07:00
- Look at the kids from the 2019 and 1989 versions of the movies. This is pretty good casting (spoilers - the image kinda reveals a bit of the plot) -- (pic) - oblique Oct 10, 06:54 [Attachment] 9
  - I'm not down with any of it - too much change. - Epiphany Oct 10, 07:01 8
    - I'm a big fan of the original so I totally get what you're saying. Hard to beat Herman Munster :) -- nm - oblique Oct 10, 07:04 7
      - :) Big Gray Cats always make me think of Church - Epiphany Oct 10, 07:06 4
        
        My mother named one of our cats Gunslinger after a line in that book describing Church as "walking like a gunslinger." -- nm - Chez Baronnaise Oct 10, 07:13 3
        
        I got my cats right after seeing the movie and named one Pascow (his student) and her brother was Rembrandt. The new Church looks just like Remie. -- nm* - Spawn Oct 10, 07:44 1
        
        Pascow is a great name too! cat names are important. -- nm - Epiphany Oct 10, 07:55
        
        that is also a very cool cat name. - Epiphany Oct 10, 07:17
      - And the two yoots. -- nm - Chez Baronnaise Oct 10, 07:06 1
        
        heh -- nm - Epiphany Oct 10, 07:07
- Is that how it's spelt? -- nm - LMS Oct 10, 06:42 5
  - It's a deliberate childish misspelling. -- nm - Reagen Oct 10, 06:45 3
    - I never knew. -- nm - LMS Oct 10, 06:49 2
      - In the book, the implication is a young child made the sign. -- nm - groiny Oct 10, 06:51 1
        
        creepy murderous young child. -- nm - Beaker Oct 10, 06:56
  - Yeah -- nm - oblique Oct 10, 06:43

- Free flu shots at county libraries this month, mine is on the 29th -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 06:45 1
  - You can also generally find no-copay flu shots at pharmacies and the doc-in-a-boxes inside grocery stores. -- nm - Ender Oct 10, 07:07
- No. Should I? -- nm - colin Oct 10, 06:37 5
  - No. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 10, 06:47 2
    - You do know that all the people who get the shot are protecting you and your family. You should be part of that. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 06:48 1
      - I want to become part of the zombie side first before all you. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 10, 06:50
