  - Yeah, but it doesn't matter because he'll still go to the next rally and say the same thing. "People are saying". - pmb Oct 23, 13:44 8
    - I think it does matter, because previously the headline would be something like "President Trump says there are Middle Easterners in migrant caravan" - Roger More Oct 23, 13:48 7
      - I hope so. -- nm - Jeremy Bearimy Oct 23, 13:51
      - That headline was out there this morning. It was followed by journalists challenging it. That matters to those of us who don't believe the news is - pmb Oct 23, 13:50 5
        
        People like you and I and Trump rally-goers have made up their minds, but lots of people barely follow politics, accept that the President tells the - Roger More Oct 23, 14:00 2
        
        I completely agree that they should do that. And I'm not saying it has zero effect. I just don't think it meaningfully moves the needle (at least - pmb Oct 23, 14:05 1

So, you guys are pretty smart. What do you think the possibility is that my boss would go for the idea of me buying Nintendo Switches for my team - oblique Oct 23, 13:01 16
- I've been considering either bringing in my xbox 360, or getting an Xbox for the office. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 23, 13:55 1

- I like it. We have an arcade game thingy here. -- nm - Jeremy Bearimy Oct 23, 13:50
- So, they'd remain in the office? -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 13:13 4
  - I wasn't quite sure on that. I could see maybe letting them go on the weekends but ultimately we'd want them in the office for when we use them either - oblique Oct 23, 13:15 3
    - I think the key will be in how they're presented. - Ender Oct 23, 13:23 1

    - There are game places you can rent networked machines for the night, weekend -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 13:18 3
      - yeah, this was definitely more along the lines of "here's something we're going to have all the time" - oblique Oct 23, 13:20 2
        
        And I can see the bosses thinking what a productivity disaster having gaming machines around the office will be -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 13:22 1
        
        Yeah. This is my thoughts also but we already have a ping pong table in another department and his comments around the Xbox in the training room make - oblique Oct 23, 13:35

- First you would need hundreds of machines, a warehouse full of pre marked tix, I suppose some 7-11 franchise could do it - zeitgeist Oct 23, 13:14 3
  - I'd arrange with the lottery corporate offices to wire the $605M, and for them to issue the ticket stating I have of everything -- nm* - peglegpete Oct 23, 13:23 1
    - Then nobody else will play knowing any of hundreds of billionaires can just buy the pot. They do not want that -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 13:28

If an island nation *doesn't* come up with some fish-based specialty, I'd wonder what the hell is wrong with them. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 12:43 8
