- WCW = AAF ; WWE = NFL -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 13:36 2
  - You’re more optimistic about the AAF than anyone else on the planet. -- nm - David Jan 31, 13:40 1
    - I just meant they'd die :) -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 13:57
Unilever and other companies are stockpiling products due to the impending Brexit. -- (link) - Mop Jan 31, 13:21 2

- Brexit Chips! -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 13:24
yo, jones...Wigler's posted all of the new FOO at this link, if you want to get it before Rob posts it all up. - Usnavi Jan 31, 13:06
So apparently Porzingis was unhappy at a meeting with the Knicks and 5 minutes later they trade him to Dallas... -- (link) - decline Jan 31, 12:57 14
- Judas Priest, Dallas is one piece away from contention. - David Jan 31, 13:08 1
  - Cuban gets his revenge on DeAndre Jordan, too. -- nm - David Jan 31, 13:09
- Knicks get Dennis Smith Jr...which is huge. He can be Knicks legit PG for next 10+ years. Dallas eats some crappy contracts (Hardaway+Lee) -- nm - Flavorize Jan 31, 13:08 2
  - If they had anyone this wouldn't be terrible but with guys like Knox not living up to their potential they're in trouble for years to come. - Krusty Jan 31, 13:26
  - That was supposed to be Mudiay or Ntilikina. It’s a cyclical mistake. -- nm - David Jan 31, 13:11
- Clearly Dallas is in the pocket of Big Dieresis. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 13:01
- Porzingis + Doncic is a pretty solid duo to build around. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 31, 13:01
- WTF? The Knicks deserve this mess. What a crappy franchise. -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 12:58 6
  - complete dysfunction. I thought Porzingis would get them out of the hole, and instead they spent no time screwing this up - prayformojo Jan 31, 13:00 5
    - With Dolan and this front office they won't win for many years -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 13:04 4
      - Being able to offer three max contracts doesn't help them when no one wants to play for them. They won't get any of the big free agents -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 13:05 3
        
        Durant has to prove himself once he leaves GS--Knicks might be perfect spot -- nm - Flavorize Jan 31, 13:09 2
        
        he's gotta have 2 other guys. It takes 3. -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 13:42
        
        No chance he comes to the Knicks. There's no one here for him to play with. I can see Brooklyn being a legit option but not the Knicks -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 13:13
wap?/wow! Mavs deal to get Porzingis -- (link) - prayformojo Jan 31, 12:57
Montreal police: Body cameras? Nah, man. We're good. -- (link) - Mop Jan 31, 12:49 2
- The body of research is inconclusive still. There was a major study in 2017 and found it had no measurable difference in behaviour. - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 12:56 1
  - How does it do at providing evidence of bad behavior? That's the more important question. - TWuG Jan 31, 13:49

So - have any of y'all heard of, or remember, Ron Clark of the Ron Clark Academy? -- nm - Usnavi Jan 31, 12:42 5
- Yes, they're pretty well known still here in Atlanta. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 31, 12:49 2
  - Ok, cool. I ask because he's one of the new Survivor players. -- nm - Usnavi Jan 31, 12:51 1
    - Oh wow, I didn't even catch that. -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 31, 12:53
- Sure, it was near the Ron Clark Hut on Ron Clark St, in the Ron Clark District. -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 12:45 1
  - There was also the Ron Clark Story tv movie. nm - Usnavi Jan 31, 12:46
poll: An exec retires from a company without a replacement, so the admin assistant is let go. Would you expect a severance pmt for the assistant? - Max Jan 31, 12:18 24
- To top it off, I asked what her plans are. She has no job lined up, plans to go off healthcare because she can't afford it. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 18:26
- I would expect some kind of bumping down the food chain. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 12:43
- addl info (post first, then read) - Max Jan 31, 12:26 14
  - I would bite someone’s face off if they did that. -- nm - David Jan 31, 12:33 4
    - You're awful bitey lately. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 12:37 3
      - Like Gunnar! -- nm - David Jan 31, 13:12
      - Applebees has started a menu of bath salts appetizers. -- nm - Roger More Jan 31, 12:39
      - Whell, there are plenty of bite-me worthy things going on in DC lately. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 12:38

    - There was where my mind went, too. -- nm - David Jan 31, 12:34
  - inside - Andie Jan 31, 12:29 6
    - Well, F - Max Jan 31, 12:30 5
      - More: - Max Jan 31, 12:37 1
        
        Asst: "So, uh, which one of you lawyers can I hire to sue these people for being bumblefucks?" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 12:48
      - What about some form of hug-related compensation? -- nm - Max si Jan 31, 12:34
      - Yikes. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 31, 12:33
      - eek -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 12:31
- hell yes. I would say 3 months, minimum. -- nm* - Andie Jan 31, 12:24
- yes - how many years was she there? -- nm - Epiphany Jan 31, 12:19 5
  - 12 years. Given six weeks notice. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 12:20 4
    - 12 years would mean 12 weeks of severance here. -- nm - Inigo Jan 31, 12:23
    - I would have thought double that, but I’ve seen worse. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 31, 12:22 2
      - It was a mix really. June retirement, "you'll stay on and admin this contract through Dec" and in Dec was told Jan. 31. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 12:25 1
        
        In that case there should have been a retention bonus to keep her until then. And then salary continuance while she was job hunting. - Meg Jan 31, 12:41

DML: I have a Citibank credit card I've had since I started college. It is as basic a basic card as you can find and has no rewards or anything. - oblique Jan 31, 11:55 5
- Card for the kids? -- nm - budice Jan 31, 12:11
- Length of credit (average age of accounts) is part of credit score. If no annual fee, keep it and don't use it. Or use it once a year to keep it active -- nm* - ty97 Jan 31, 11:57 3
  - Good point. Maybe the < $500 a month that I charge to it isn't worth dealing with rewards to keep it alive. -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 11:58 2
    - Switch to some Citi card with rewards. You will still be a member since... -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 12:10

Here is how to do the Disc to Digital thing Mop is talking about WITH NO DISCS. you use the website he linked and the Vudu app..it's SUPER EASY - Remlik Jan 31, 11:10 13
- I’m surprised you can get these to work. They never do for me. -- nm - David Jan 31, 12:41 2
  - The website indicated is a catalog of only valid barcodes. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 12:43 1
    - I’ve tried everything you have linked and several from others. D2D is a myth as far as I can tell. -- nm - David Jan 31, 12:56
- Wait, so you don't even have to own it - you can just use the barcode on the website? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 11:25 9
  - YES! scan it with your Vudu app AT HOME. -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 11:27
  - Still illegal, Joe -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 11:27 7
    - Yeah, that seems super duper sketch. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 11:27 6
      - it is...just like buying codes from the UV sites that sell the codes only...it's a decision you have to make for yourself. -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 11:29 5
        
        Seems a bit different to me. - JaxSean Jan 31, 11:38 3
        
        Maybe what's happening is that we own the discs but we don't want to take them off the shelf. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 11:41 1
        
        or, you're just stealing -- nm - decline Jan 31, 11:47
        
        I totally get what you're saying. -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 11:40
        
        I'm not sure I'd make that logical leap but to each their own. - oblique Jan 31, 11:32

It's summer in Antarctica. Why is it surprising that parts of it are warmer than where it's winter? -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 10:46 3
- Its not. But remember, almost half the country thought Trump was the second coming of Christ, so.. -- nm - Jovian Jan 31, 12:08
- If you love Antarctica so much why don't you just go there and marry a polar bear! - Max Jan 31, 11:09
- Stop with your logic -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 11:02
MMA Things I thought I would never say - Strongbad Jan 31, 10:45
NWBR, have you followed any of the Kenney stuff from Alberta? - Reagen Jan 31, 10:44 3

  - and donations and residency. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 10:58 1
    - Haven't followed, but it does look like he was trying to juke his claims. The Ontario PC donation is just capital D dumb if so. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jan 31, 11:01
Mop, so that hoses me, because I shit can the boxes and just keep the DVD's in an album. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 10:40 13

    - I am at home -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 11:10 4
      - is your billing address on Vudu your home address? -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 11:11 3
        
        I had to change it, it was still my old address. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 11:22
        
        He's still scanning the discs. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 11:13 1
        
        ah... -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 11:15
  - Paging on FB. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 11:07
  - We'd be better of swapping share groups on UV through July if they really do permanently register with Vudu -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 11:06
- maybe not the best plan in hindsight -- nm - decline Jan 31, 10:44 1
  - I can store 200 DVD's in a binder, or take up half a wall -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 10:57
- Doesn't matter. You're looking at this the wrong way. - Mop Jan 31, 10:43 1
  - so I can go to the library and check out a ton of movies and add them! -- nm - Remlik Jan 31, 10:54
Follow up on the D2D thread from B2: There's plenty of *VERY* recent titles that qualify for D2D. Just check the list. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 10:40 5
- You're missing the point. I'll bet none of us have bought a DVD for as long as we've been in the UV clubs. We're mostly all talking about our old - oblique Jan 31, 10:44 4
  - Speaking of: I just bought Bohemian Rhapsody for our Vudu group. -- nm - Inigo Jan 31, 10:47
  - And I'm telling you it doesn't matter if you're still holding on to the physical media. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 10:47 2
    - Still not the issue... -- (edited) - oblique Jan 31, 10:48 1
      - That's certainly your prerogative. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 10:56
