- The only way that would be more awesome was if it was in the USFL. -- nm - Blake Baron-tles Oct 18, 17:15 1
  - It was. -- nm - budice Oct 18, 17:16
Also from backboards: Fallout 76 being a quasi-MMO feels like the more 'wait and see' purchase. Personally, I'm not in the market for new games. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 17:07 1
- Yup. I'm not sure if I'll like what they're doing so I'll wait and see what people are saying before buying it. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 17:23
Let the record show that I win Singo *twice* tonight. - David Oct 18, 16:57 1
- Nice!! Buy our winning Mega Millions ticket now -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:58
I see no reason why WWE shouldn't go through with Crown Jewel. It's not like they give a shit about putting out a decent product or care about fans. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 16:55
OMG, Good Place is being pre-empted locally to show the McCaskill/Hawley debate. Who can I bribe to reverse that programming decision? -- nm - Blake Baron-tles Oct 18, 16:44 9

- The real Bad Place is Baron’s wasteland -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:47
- WE are going to pass a law that makes it mandatory to watch all political debates. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:45
- One of these things is important to the fate of humanity. The other is a political debate. -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 16:44 1
  - Precisely, Robot Mop. -- nm - Blake Baron-tles Oct 18, 16:46
Is it just me, or is there not a single glimpse of Lucas in that entire Empire Strikes Back documentary? -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 16:43
Pie Effers Wife posted a pic on Insta -- (link*) - budice Oct 18, 16:24
Ugh. Disappointed that Prime charges for episodes of a show that is free through the show channel's app - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:20 20
- If I'm understanding correctly... - Mop Oct 18, 16:31 9
  - No, it's a show on CMT. - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:34 8
    - Scientists have recently discovered that CMT is actually different than Amazon Prime. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 18, 16:44 7
      - Do not take CMT if you are allergic to the ingredients in CMT. CMT is not for use by people with digestive issues or by women who may become pregnant. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 16:49 2
        
        Why is CMT taunting me? -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:52
        
        Latimer is down! Looks like they're starting the CMT protocol. This could be bad, folks. -- nm* - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:51
      - Being double charged is not what I would expect to.be competitive in the marketplace... but *shrug* oh well. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:47 3
        
        I guess I don't understand how you're being double charged. Maybe I didn't follow. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 18, 17:00 2
        
        Yes, I thought there was a chance that paying for Prime would allow me to use it to watch a show that I could otherwise watch for free. - Strongbad Oct 18, 17:06 1
        
        That's not how this works. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 18, 17:16
- I don't understand exactly what this means. Is it related to Prime Video? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:22 9
  - Yes. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:24 1
    - I haven’t seen prime charging for individual episodes. But maybe that’s a different feature than what’s available in Canada. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:30
  - NO, the transformers. Optimus Prime won't let the other Autobots watch some shows, but the Decepticons watch them for free -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:23 6
    - Did you see how much I got for my Transformers and He Man toys from the 80's? - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:25 5
      - No but I bet it was a lot. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:26 4
        
        Spoilers - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:27 3
        
        How many? -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:27 2
        
        I am guessing... maybe 15 of each? Plus some vehicles and many of the accessories - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:30 1
        
        CHA CHING! -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:41

- So God does not play dice with the universe but he does play lotto. -- nm - Blake Baron-tles Oct 18, 16:17 3
  - Even wrote a book about Numbers *ba-dum-tiss* -- nm - budice Oct 18, 16:18 2
    - I appreciate your effort to bring Levity, cuz. -- nm* - Blake Baron-tles Oct 18, 16:44 1
      - All these puns is just a testament to just how old you are. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 16:51
- We Won!!!! -- nm - 105,657,871 people that all picked the same number Oct 18, 16:07 1
  - if you play 'rings' with another number then you would hit a bunch of 1m winners...which iirc are not aggregate -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 16:20
Top Chef returns Dec. 6. here is an article all about it. -- (link) - peglegpete Oct 18, 15:58
Rihanna says no to SB in support of Kaep -- (link) - mud Oct 18, 15:50 1
- nice...so...they'll get Kanye instead? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 15:52
"Another 20-year-old said that she would have forgotten about voting, if not for her attempt to learn more about the Davidson-Grande breakup." - crash davis Oct 18, 15:32 67
- But does she know where to get the stamps to mail in her ballot? -- nm - Blake Baron-tles Oct 18, 16:12
- Talking with the CNAs who work 12 hr shifts at Trish's hospital. The polls open and close before the day shift can get to the polls - crash davis Oct 18, 15:45 5
  - mail in/absentee ballots -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 15:47
  - obviously a hospital would stay open, and they can all do absentee ballots, but still the concept is valid -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 15:46 3
    - IIRC, aren't there laws that say time must be allowed for voting -- nm - budice Oct 18, 15:48 2
      - I believe so -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 15:50
      - maybe, but a suit finding in favor of an employee over an employer will have to be initiated in a state other than this one -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 15:50
- I love the national holiday idea. Been talking about it here on ST for years. - Strongbad Oct 18, 15:36 54
  - Could do voting on the weekend, that would make it easier too -- nm - Karl_S Oct 18, 16:32
  - we could easily trade Columbus day for national voters day -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 15:41
  - We need to do it where people only get the day off IF they vote. -- nm - David Oct 18, 15:39 50
    - no. the point of having it on the day of the vote is to allow everyone to have the opportunity to vote. its not a reward for voting. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 18, 15:44 48
      - Voting should be a mandatory part of citizenship. -- nm - David Oct 18, 15:58 25
        
        Mandatory reverence is not reverence. -- nm - CQ Oct 18, 16:06 1
        
        turn in blank ballots, honestly that would wake some of the local organizers up...as it is, areas with the most turn out get the most services -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 16:22
        
        no no no no no no no no no no no no ! -- nm - mud Oct 18, 16:04
        
        among the things I don't quite fathom about the US is why registering to vote is made so hard - Reagen Oct 18, 16:02
        
        There is where I disagree. I don't want a bunch of idiots checking boxes to just GET IT OVER WITH. NO NO NO - Bacon Oct 18, 16:01 20
        
        You already have a bunch of idiots checking boxes, but it's because they're motivated voters. -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 16:19 1
        
        people voting for Trump because he's "a Godly man" are objectively dumber. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:21
        
        if voting is mandatory, it's harder to justify bullshit reasons to kick people off the rolls. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:11 11
        
        I will never support mandatory voting. We would end up in worse shape not better. If anyone thinks Trump is the worst President? Oh we can do worse -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:14 1
        
        I really believe the only reason he's not Kim jong Un, putin, hitler, sadam, is that we still have a few believers in the constitution and pesky rules -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 16:24
        
        If voting is mandatory, we have the 7% of people that think chocolate milk comes from brown cows voting. - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:14 8
        
        right - who says they're not? -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:14 7
        
        Well instead of half or 4/5ths of them voting all 7% would be. Yeah us! - Bacon Oct 18, 16:16 6
        
        and they're swamped by the remainder of the 93%. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:18 5
        
        (i mean, if we're picking people not to vote, those bad at statistics top my list) -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 16:18 4
        
        People bad at statistics would ALL be voting!! -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:20 3
        
        I'm not picking and choosing, is the point. - Reagen Oct 18, 16:22 2
        
        I don't want mandatory voting. If people don't WANT to vote, I would just assume the do not vote. - Bacon Oct 18, 16:27 1
        
        Regarding the IM: That's what I want, too. No more gerrymandering, no more state-sponsored voter suppression. - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:50
        
        I would rather have that than property owners being the only ones with enough ID to vote. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 16:06 5
        
        Whew your Canadian, you can't force this horrible idea on us. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:09 4
        
        by the way -- (link) - crash davis Oct 18, 16:11 3
        
        Did you think my suggestions were going to make voting 100%? People don't fucking care, every idea on ST so far won't change that. We are just - Bacon Oct 18, 16:13 2
        
        ....screwed. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 16:15
        
        I'm going to have to get ready to go. I'll tell you about the other parts of my plan tomorrow (if you remind me) -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:14
      - I agree with this. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 15:44 21
        
        Everyone here knows that a National Holiday does not force business to give their employees the day off right? People work Thanksgiving, Christmas, - Bacon Oct 18, 15:49 20
        
        Sure but the vast majority are off on federal holidays. It's still an improvement over what we currently have. -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 15:52 7
        
        Extending the amount of days people can vote is the fix. Not trying to get everyone to the polls on a single day. see my post below -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 15:53 6
        
        as I said on the inside below, I like OR's system...but I think a federal holiday is easier to pass than get 49 states to agree with OR -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:00 1
        
        I say we do both. Three weeks to vote, they are still counted on the close of election day, and a National Holiday. Cover both bases -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:02
        
        A holiday would be nice, but I agree the key should be extended voting. It's been open here for about 2 weeks and I can vote any day before the - pmb Oct 18, 15:56 3
        
        It was, and may still be, to some extent, in Chicago. -- nm - . Oct 18, 16:06
        
        Your last sentence in the IM is why I want a national holiday -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:02
        
        We are waiting for our ballots to show up any day now. Wife and I will sit down and talk about them, then vote. We won't mail it but drop it off at - Bacon Oct 18, 15:58
        
        its not a cure all, but I bet it is an improvement -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 15:51 11
        
        I think it has the opposite effect. I would predict voting rates would fall. Maybe not the first election but sooner than later. - Bacon Oct 18, 15:52 10
        
        FWIW Australia has had compulsory voting since the 1920s and turnout at its last election was 94% -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 16:22 3
        
        My comment was in response to a National Voting Holiday, not David's horrible idea of mandatory voting. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:25 2
        
        This thread is too long and confusing! (I still think you're wrong) -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 16:28 1
        
        Get in line, everyone always thinks I am wrong. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:28
        
        Did you see the report on millennials not voting because they don't know where to buy stamps? :) - crash davis Oct 18, 15:56 5
        
        We have MANY sites to drop off ballots to avoid mailing them. I know of three places 2 miles or less from my house. Drive up and drop are common too - Bacon Oct 18, 16:00 4
        
        again, not the point...post a video of the Governor of Alabama saying "We should do things like OR" and I'll go along with you -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:01 3
        
        National Holiday doesn't force employers to give people a day off. You know who works on National Holidays? Big Business votes typically how? - Bacon Oct 18, 16:06 2
        
        A National Holiday is the easiest thing to achieve on my three part plan. Just hush and support me. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 16:07 1
        
        Like I told Krusty. Help me get rid of daylight savings time, and I will support your idea. -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 16:18
    - DING! -- nm - Bacon Oct 18, 15:40
  - If I get the day off I am going to the mountains or taking a monday off too for a 4 day weekend and going someplace else. fuck voting -- nm - Americans Oct 18, 15:38
- Woohoo! What are we all drinking for Voting Day Break? -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 15:33 2
  - hell, I've been drinking liberally for two years now -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 15:40
  - straight everclear. -- nm - Reagen Oct 18, 15:38

Picky eaters, lunch bag edition: Peanut better? Jelly? Salami? Turkey cold cuts? Ham cold cuts? -- nm - Mop Oct 18, 15:27 8
- Butter, peanut butter with just peanuts, raspberry jam on cinnamon raisin bread. - . Oct 18, 16:04
- PB only. No jelly touching! I have no idea what Salami even is. Like turkey and ham is okay but both need a piece of cheese. -- nm - Spawn Oct 18, 15:40 2
  - Pepperoni is a salami -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 15:49
  - No idea what Salami is? - amoxy Oct 18, 15:46
- salami..salumi...sopressa...found these almond flour crackers at Costco and all is right with the world (except all the WTF is going on in the world) -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 15:39
- I like pb&j but light on the j and lots of pb. Love Genoa salami, hate turkey, like ham and love pastrami. All sliced paper thin - Krusty Oct 18, 15:35
