Holy shit are radio stations annoying today. "Hey, did you know that pot is..." *Batman_slapping_Robin.jpg* YES WE FUCKING KNOW -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 10:47 18
- Honestly, if the audience is “radio listeners”, maybe they don’t know. -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 11:10
- My gripe for the day on this news cycle (it's a minor gripe) is that every article says 'Canada is second country to....' - ty97 Oct 17, 11:06 12
  - Hijack: I understand that legalizing pot has consequences related to international treaties. How is Canada handling that? -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 11:12 5
    - I read that transportation into or out of the country is illegal. -- nm - Meg Oct 17, 11:34
    - like what, specifically? the US threatened stuff, but has already backed down. A Canadian in another country is subject to their laws. Were you - Andie Oct 17, 11:14 3
      - *Somebody* took it upon themselves to learn their pot rights pretty fast -- nm - con_carne Oct 17, 11:20 2

        Right? We're practically carrying around talking point cards in our wallets. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 11:24
  - yeah, that is bad writing. -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 11:10 5
    - Not surprisingly, most of my news comes from US institutions/articles - ty97 Oct 17, 11:12 4
      - even just, Canada is the second country to federally legalize marijuana, after Uruguay." It is TWO additional words! -- nm - Andie Oct 17, 11:15 3
        
        oh yeah, I was adding the South America part for idiot Americans :) -- nm* - ty97 Oct 17, 11:17 2
        
        "There's a SOUTH America? Like, what, Florida?" - Andie Oct 17, 11:18 1
        
        haha (and your IM: yeah :) -- nm - ty97 Oct 17, 11:21
- On twitter I saw an infographic that started it out with "What Is Marijuana?" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 10:49 3

  - Stow it, crash! -- nm - Rebooted Mel Oct 17, 11:04

- If you use the Auto Filter, and select A, then C&P to a new column? Repeat for B and C? or am I missing your question -- nm - SyrDragon Oct 17, 10:44 2
  - Each A and B value is different (C is blank cells), I just used that to illustrate the pattern of data. - Super Daddy Princess Oct 17, 10:48 1
    - Spoils - Super Daddy Princess Oct 17, 10:59

- it is so obvious. It was Hilary and her pedophile pizza murder team. -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 10:39 1

    - 1pm Eastern iirc -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 11:21
- Too bad you don't have a good clan to help with that. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 10:31 6
  - Also, the winning team had more dead weight than yours did. -- nm - Spawn Oct 17, 10:32 5
    - he should be playing to make his team better, instead of killing everything. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:32 4
      - All the power plays the other team had didn't help. -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 10:39 3
        
        see? you should have been shutting that shit down! -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:40 2
        
        I can only be in one place killing things at a time. -- nm - Shaun Oct 17, 10:53 1
        
        be better, Shaun -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:54

Tangentially related to earlier - this article about a female gender studies uni lecturer who role played as the coach from Friday Night Lights -- (link) - Roger More Oct 17, 10:09 6
- The "Once-popular teen drama about football in Texas" Umm excuse me???? -- nm - Volnelk Oct 17, 10:11 5
  - In retrospect, it turns out it wasn’t popular? -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 11:11
  - Now having really read the article, I vehemently disagree with her characterization of Coach Taylor. - Volnelk Oct 17, 10:30 3
    - Maybe, but I think the broader points - that people are more willing to obey people who are blunt and direct, and argue/negotiate with people who show - Roger More Oct 17, 10:49
    - also, I vehemently about having a "dialogical" household when it comes to kids and chores...Coach Taylor is right, she is wrong -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 10:33

    - well, sure, since trish usually has his in her purse. -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:31
  - "How do we know he's not one of them libtards, Verne?" "He's OK, Jethro. Don't you see his nutsack?" -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 10:17
  - how about some tacky mudflaps instead? -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 10:04 18
    - you have to have both to get the full effect -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:04 17
      - not really the sort of effect I want, but I'm glad you're willing to share your love of nutsacks with me -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 10:06 16
        
        it's your truck -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:09 15
        
        down at the bottom of this page is my license plate style, I'd need something to match that -- (link) - crash davis Oct 17, 10:12 14
        
        come on, it would look like you are teabagging the fish! -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:14 13
        
        that's not how truck nuts work. Or are you talking about a decal? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 10:17 3
        
        um.... -- (link) - groiny Oct 17, 10:19 2

        The Ford F100 I had back in the 70s had one of those.I used to hang my purse and coffee thermos on it :) -- nm - Meg Oct 17, 10:20 2
        
        ah, so groiny could use one of those too :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 10:23 1
        
        I do like coffee -- nm - groiny Oct 17, 10:25
        
        (finishes reading two Prey novels in a week) You definitely need a gun rack. It's Idaho! -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 10:18 3
        
        more often than not it would hold a fly rod :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 10:19 2

- Dammit! I picked up Indy in BF in anticipation of that sweet, sweet Peterman meltdown. -- nm - David Lost a Bet to Spawn at Some Point Oct 17, 11:03
- I would say I'm surprised the Bills didn't trade for RG3, but to quote Lethal Weapon 2... - Inigo Oct 17, 10:05
- Is this the time to mention "and Colin Kaepernick isn't talented enough for the NFL"? -- nm - AB-raham Lincoln, Slamtonian Oct 17, 09:45 1
  - No collusion! -- nm - David Lost a Bet to Spawn at Some Point Oct 17, 11:03

  - I was close! -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 09:40 1

  - I didn't see how it was going to go in the bucket -- nm - crash davis Oct 17, 09:55 1
    - Right. No chance. But just the picture with a caption of "This goes in" would be more enticing. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 17, 10:02
So it's a fact now that the push toward video advertising by facebook was a complete fabrication. They overwhelmingly inflated stats to advertisers. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 09:21 2
- I know when I go on, 25% of everything that shows up is a fvcking sponsored ad -- nm - Beaker Oct 17, 09:24 1
  - They're starting to drop the little sponsored from the subject bar so it's hard to tell if it's a friend or a boosted post -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 17, 13:31

    - f- the poor. - Spawn Oct 17, 09:27
