- 10 episode run - King is super excited about it. nm - Usnavi Jan 31, 10:04 1

- great, so I can spend a few hours being told that my movies do not exist. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 09:50 7
  - so frustrating -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 09:58
  - I'm saddened that no one seems to be reading my updates in the Facebook group where we're all members. See my post to Kilbo below. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 09:55 5
    - I think the question is, did they add older catalog items since we went through our entire collections? - JaxSean Jan 31, 10:01 2
      - TONS. You want to find the Bluray title so it transfers to HDX for $2. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 10:26
      - See: True Lies - oblique Jan 31, 10:01
    - are these barcodes on the DVD's or on the boxes? -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 09:56 1

  - Psst... - Mop Jan 31, 09:54 5
    - So if it is on that site, it is eligible? -- nm - GregW Jan 31, 10:08 2

      - I just used the Vudu app to scan a few. -- nm - Abby Normal Jan 31, 10:24

    - I haven't bought a DVD in forever now. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 09:59

Washington Post with some sweet photos of Lake Michigan (the one with the dog staring at the city is grrrrrrreat) -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 31, 09:30 9
- Those are great. Was going to get a haircut today at lunch but the Great Clips was closed but Chipotle was open so my standard Thursday lunch is on - oblique Jan 31, 09:35 6
  - maybe the good folks at Chipotle can give you a trim? -- nm - mud Jan 31, 09:44 5
    - Truth is, I should just start doing it myself. I don't have that much hair and I just use the razor/clippers anyways -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 09:45 4
      - Got 2-3 places that are still $5. Get the same as a $20 place does. -- nm - budice Jan 31, 09:50
      - I think the last time I paid to get my hair done was before my brother's wedding in 2009. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 09:47 2
        
        me = 1990? -- nm - prayformojo Jan 31, 09:48 1
        
        I thought I told you to trim those sideburns! -- nm - Max Jan 31, 09:49

  - This. He doesn't take himself too seriously either. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 31, 09:34
- C- -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 09:18 2
  - Yeah, I might downgrade. He is way too much of a fratboy. -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 09:33 1
    - He didn't get Mojo Rawley over either. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 09:34
- B- -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 09:17
That Reddit mom painting thing is still going and has more offshoots than most alternate reality stories -- (link) - Beaker Jan 31, 09:12 5
- I love reddit sometimes -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 10:10
- heh. I had thought of the loop closer. -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 09:23
- I can't wait for the Black/Mirror version of this. -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 09:15
- Has anyone painted The Nun standing behind a previous painter? -- nm - Max Jan 31, 09:14 1
  - evil, pure evil genius -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 10:08
David News: Fuller House Renewed for Fifth, Final Season: 'We Saved the Best for Last' -- (link) - Remlik Jan 31, 09:06 3
- Fox instinctively tried to cancel it thinking it was a Bryan Fuller show. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 09:35
- Apparently it turned out to be pretty decent, although I haven't paid much attention to it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 09:12 1
  - my kids couldn't watch it as it was so bad and they like watching youtubers play Minecraft so... -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 09:34
Trump said to be considering Herman Cain for the Federal Reserve Board. (Remember 9-9-9?) -- nm - MDH Jan 31, 09:02 12
- Worth remembering that Cain dropped out of the primaries due to sexual harassment allegations. (And huh, Cain was in the board of the KC Fed 1992-96) -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 09:26 1
  - Sexual harassment claims AND pizza? He's my kind of guy. -- nm - Trump Jan 31, 09:28
- Uz-becky-becky-beckystan? -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 09:19

  - It's... almost like he's done this before? -- nm - Strongbad Jan 31, 09:15 2
    - Yes - though that said, it's not as though he hasn't made some insane choices. -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 09:24 1
      - Maybe if I throw out the 10 on the batshit crazy meter first, they'll think the 8 isn't as bad. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 31, 09:25
Sweet merciful F. *Nothing* can go smoothly this week. Here's an example: - prayformojo Jan 31, 08:53 3
- Refund? If so, use that money to take her somewhere fun. -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 09:20

Holy cow! It's like 30 degrees out there! -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 08:35 6
- As mind boggling and the 100 degree variance between the outside and my house is, it is just as weird to think that the edge of freezing will be 50 - oblique Jan 31, 08:40 2
  - I'm frequently astounded by the concept of "indoors". How alien that must have been to our ancestors. - Mop Jan 31, 09:04
  - And Monday we will apparently complete a 75 degree shift to hit 50F. -- nm - pmb Jan 31, 08:53
- Be careful, saying this might be as risky as saying "Jehovah" in front of a bunch of ladies carrying a giant boulder. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 08:40
- said the upper midwest people as they dance in shorts in the street and prepare to open their pools -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 08:38 1

- "Your #1 source for satirical Sioux Falls news!" Is there a lot of competition in that market? -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 09:06 1

- but what does science or scientists really tell us? -- nm* - Beaker Jan 31, 08:36
- Supposedly Genghis Khan did the same. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 08:34
Local Man Arrested After Cosplaying Mr. Freeze And Yelling Cold Weather Puns At People -- (link) - Remlik Jan 31, 08:33 6
- It's hilarious even though it's the satirical. -- nm - Inigo Jan 31, 08:41
- "Your #1 source for satirical Sioux Falls news!" - Reagen Jan 31, 08:40 1
  - It seems like every frustrated writer who has made an unsuccessful submission to the Onion is starting their own local version -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 08:44
- "Let's put this guy on ice." -- nm - The arresting officer si Jan 31, 08:35 1
  - "...I’m really thinking about suing him!” said one woman we spoke with who was actually wearing too much make up. - Spawn Jan 31, 08:36
- Allow me to break the ice: My name is Freeze. Learn it well, for it's the chilling sound of your doom. -- nm -- Spawn Jan 30 '19, 00:33 -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 08:34
Mainstreet Polling with another enormous miss. Off by 25 pts in the Nanaimo by-election - Reagen Jan 31, 08:33 6
- I thought this was about the bars..... -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 08:41
- which way were they leaning? or was it all over the place in each case? -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 08:36 3
  - Both of these missed in the more conservative direction. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 08:37 2
    - I think the key is the use of small-c conservative there. Their MO is to predict a dramatic event that doesn't pan out in practice. (Incumbent holds.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 08:39 1
      - Yes. It's a small sample size though! - Reagen Jan 31, 09:34
- Brandon-Souris by-election too. They're idiots. While they were upfront on some of their sampling issues, why even put out obvious bullshit? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 08:34
LIR: Jax. Regarding UV shared libraries. Our shared libraries propagated to Movies Anywhere and thus iTunes/Google/Amazon via Vudu. My gut says - oblique Jan 31, 08:31 6
- I believe it's been determined that once it's shared, it's yours. People have broken from their sharing groups and still own the titles. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 09:36 2
  - So you're saying we should all change groups between each other and max out the movies? -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 09:37 1
    - It's no longer possible to add/remove members to sharing groups, unfortunately. Even in the old days, there was a cool-down period. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 09:45
- Time to redeem those codes while u can -- nm - budice Jan 31, 08:32 2
  - I do wonder if some of those code sites will have sales on them now to get rid of the stock. Doesn't really change much going forward on my buying - oblique Jan 31, 08:35 1
    - Vudu/MA still redeem the codes, so I can't see that changing. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 09:09
Parliamentary Budget Office: The Trudeau Gov't may have overpaid for TransMountain by up to $1B - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 08:30 5
- the word that I focused on right away was "may". such good reporting. I may think they didn't. - Beaker Jan 31, 08:35 3
  - That's what the PBO said. It's still a relatively new office but it is generally pretty credible. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 08:37 2
    - yeah I kinda thought something like that when it went through so fast -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 08:38 1
      - Which...probably makes sense considering the seemingly lack of dollar control with the gov't?* - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 08:40
- Trudeau is just the pretty face -- nm - budice Jan 31, 08:31
Palabra. -- nm - Usnavi Jan 31, 08:23 6
