My interest in Fallout 76 is gone after everything I've read about the game. It's not the bugs that bother me, it's the game itself. - Krusty Nov 15, 12:44 12

      - The ST Charter states, "Same week, same poll". -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 12:55 4
        
        Debates over the ST Charter are going to go down like that Greek fraternity conference in Nerds in Paradise. -- nm - Max Nov 15, 13:09 1
        
        I am equally fascinated and repulsed by the idea of all of us meeting in a big conference room to discuss and debate the ST Charter. - ReluctantCynic Nov 15, 13:13
        
        Mop rules also apply. -- nm - Roger More Nov 15, 12:59

  - Heck, I know folks here in Canada who have been buying more guns recently. NRA coffee coffer troubles are probably not linked to gun sales. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 13:52 4
    - just saying, that depending on what picture you are trying to paint, it may or may not mean anything. -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 14:05 3
      - True that. I hope it means that an anti-American organization is on the way out the door. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 14:27 2
        
        I have been saying for years that I do not subscribe to the NRA shitshow..... - groiny Nov 15, 14:31 1

  - that is a good deal, depending on the Ruger -- nm - crash davis Nov 15, 13:29 2
    - Ruger EC9S 9mm -- nm - groiny Nov 15, 13:54 1
      - I don't know much about guns, but that sounds like a good deal. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 14:28
  - Does the NRA own your local gun shop? -- nm - David Nov 15, 12:40
- My memory might be faulty but I thought the NRA kept insisting earlier this year that their lobbying division was entirely separate. -- nm - Max Nov 15, 12:31 1
  - putin might get annoyed if his money is being used for employee perks and not the propaganda he's paying for -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 15, 12:45
- Man, that's the *last* group of people I'd want to be on edge. -- nm - Reagen Nov 15, 12:21
Just cleaned out the fridge. We had 6 bottles of Mustard in various amounts. Consolidated down to 1 - amoxy Nov 15, 12:19 2

- I dont know what the rate is like here, but i don't think it is very high and having to vote might help limit the impact -- nm - Karl_S Nov 15, 15:02

October 11, it was still in the 80s and still muggy as hell. Today it's snowy and wintry -- nm - prayformojo Nov 15, 12:17 1

- Wow. :( Instead of seeing FB2 maybe we will see Ralph 2 instead. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 15, 12:56 1
  - Yeah, that many votes against staggers me. -- nm - Spawn Nov 15, 13:02
- How much of that 50% is depp-hatey, vs how much is offset by buying votes? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 15, 12:29
