"I'm just a bit shorter than you." *ed. note: ha, no* "I'm 5'11. Wait, is 5'12" six foot?" "No, dummy, you have to go to 5'13"." - Classroom Transcripts Dec 10, 05:59 3
- But aren't they used to metric? -- nm - Dano Dec 10, 06:01 1
  - Heights and weights are still commonly done in imperial here. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 06:03
- And you can’t teach that. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 06:00
Theresa May reportedly cancelling Brexit deal vote in parliament to avoid humiliating defeat -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 05:48 12
- Unfortunately not just cancelling Brexit. If she lost the vote there would be a leadership challenge - LMS Dec 10, 06:01
- If I wanted to oversimplify Brexit in a completely outrageous way, it’s all about racism right? -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 05:59 3
  - For some sure, the irony being it would allow more non-white Europeans into the country instead. -- nm - LMS Dec 10, 06:03 1
    - I appreciate the replies. -- nm - Qale Dec 10, 06:36
  - I'm far from a Brexit expert but that's an interesting question. My understanding is that a big part of Brexit - ty97 Dec 10, 06:02
- I’m sure humiliating defeat will catch up with her someday though. -- nm - Roger More Dec 10, 05:59
- I'm not clear on what would happen it it's voted down -- nm - prayformojo Dec 10, 05:58 5
  - No one else is, either. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 06:01
  - From what I understand, it could topple her government. Sure, pulling the vote could as well - ty97 Dec 10, 05:59 3
    - Not directly. At any time the Parliament could call a no confidence motion in May, but that’s unlikely as it would probably trigger a general election - Roger More Dec 10, 06:08 2
      - Oh hey super dumb question: I now elections can be triggered, but is there also a set time window where elections have to happen anyway? -- nm - ty97 Dec 10, 06:11 1
        
        Yes - the UK introduced fixed terms for Parliament a few years back. - Roger More Dec 10, 06:14

It is insane how many parents text their kids during class and try to have conversations with them. -- nm - Reagen Dec 10, 05:03 5
- I text my kid regardless of when their class schedule is but I expect them to respond when it is appropriate. It is kinda on the kid to not be using - oblique Dec 10, 05:43 3
  - and then when they don't answer do you activate the gps tracking and launch the drones ? -- nm - decline Dec 10, 06:03
  - Exactly. I have to say what I have to say - and I say it when I have time. They should follow the same guideline. -- nm - Mayor of Slamtown Dec 10, 05:58
  - heh - I can't trust my kid not to have a Pavlovian response and to stop whatever she's doing to at least look at it. -- nm - Epiphany Dec 10, 05:55
- Ugh -- nm - zork Dec 10, 05:16

Both defenses played well but this Bears squad is really something. - zunk xometimes Dec 9, 20:40 2

      - They would be in jail. -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 19:35 1
        
        Nah, they'd just be all like "Sorry" and "Won't happen again" and nothing would come of it. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 19:36
    - yeah, I figure they wouldn't have stopped at 'attempted break-in'. CFO of a megacorp (and daughter of the founder) probs has really good security tho. -- nm - mafic Dec 9, 19:31

Refs have been fucking terrrrrrrible all day today. that was obviously a first down. -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 18:23 2
- In real speed it didn't even look close to not being a first. -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 18:25 1
  - only thing I can figure is they thought his knee was down before he did the stretch to make the first -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 18:26
Challenge -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 18:23
Goff seems off. that is almost 2 more INTs he's thrown... -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 18:21 1
- This is the coldest game he's played in his entire NFL and College career I heard today. -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 18:21
I think Goff really missed having his security blanket Kupp -- nm* - Bacon Dec 9, 18:20
Wait, Harold Baines got in the Hall of Fame? What a joke. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 18:18 1

  - How gracious of you -- nm - zork Dec 10, 05:15
- he's do just about anything to not spend 5 hours next to his wife on the flight :))) -- nm - peglegpete Dec 9, 18:31
- Also watch: A flight was delayed for 2 hours because off-duty pilots demanded first-class seats -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 18:19 2
  - Clearly the solution here is to make all the seats first class and eat the rich. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 18:38 1
    - a fair and reasonable solution. -- nm - mud Dec 9, 18:50
This Netflix movie looks awesome -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 17:58 9
- this was almost directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starred Tom Hanks, Wil Smith, Tom Hardy, Depp and Tatum. -- nm - Remlik Dec 9, 18:14 1
  - Wow, I would say Hanks would be out of place, but he was money in Saving Private Ryan -- nm - Bacon Dec 9, 18:15
- Which one - Outlaw King? The Night Comes for Us? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 18:03 6
