NJ Transit refuses service to customer -- (link) - Roger More Mar 20, 13:12 3
- that is amazing -- nm - Jovian Mar 20, 13:24
- *sigh* OK, let's get this guy through... -- nm - NYC Subway patrons Mar 20, 13:17
- have you been to Jersey? It's the only safe way to carry cash -- nm - decline Mar 20, 13:15
so I guess he was at an event in Ohio about tanks (?) and he ranted for over 5 minutes about McCain: -- (link) - mud Mar 20, 12:57 16
- McCain had something to do with the Dossier? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 20, 13:11 10
  - McCain gave it to the FBI. And apparently one of his staffers leaked it to the press (though there is no evidence that McCain authorized that). -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 13:13 7
    - And speaking of the Dossier, I'm amazed at the extent to which it's still discussed (even by mainstream media) as some variation on "discredited". - pmb Mar 20, 13:16 1
      - witch hunt! - Spawn Mar 20, 13:18
    - It was right after election and they probly had a copy anyway -- nm - mud Mar 20, 13:15 4
      - Most likely yes, but practically it still is the exactly correct thing for him to have done. He doesn't deserve any criticism for giving it to the - pmb Mar 20, 13:17 3
        
        McCain was a patriot. He put country first. - Spawn Mar 20, 13:18 2
        
        In that instance yes. Let's not forget that there were plenty of times he should have taken a stand against Trump and would not. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 13:34
        
        McCain was awesome. Except for that time he was running for POTUS as a Republican then we all couldn't stand him. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 20, 13:32
  - IIRC he claims McCain is the one that "leaked" it. -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 13:12
  - or is Trump just playing Trump Mad Libs again? -- nm - Strongbad Mar 20, 13:11
- This is such a weird thing for him to double, triple and quadruple down on. -- nm - The Wardog Mar 20, 13:07 3
  - Various senators were discussing him today, with one republican (Isakson) going so far as directly criticizing Trump for his comments. - Super Daddy Princess Mar 20, 13:28
  - What, a target that can not fight back? Makes perfect sense. -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 13:08 1
    - A real military war hero would have gotten up to salute the president. -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 20, 13:19
- "He *never* thanked me for the funeral. Didn't even send a card!" -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 12:58
NWBR, I'm not as tuned in as used to be for obvious reasons but my sense is that is still mostly a one woman show - Reagen Mar 20, 12:49 2
- I'm pretty close to a former Hill staffer and his Jean take was this: "[My MP] was a drinking buddy with him. Great guy. Wouldn't be a good Premier." - Name Withheld By Request Mar 20, 13:03 1
  - I think that's fair. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 13:20
I really like this tweet. -- (link) - David Mar 20, 12:45 19
- There have been times in the recent past where I thought Cowherd was a tolerable human being. I deeply regret that error. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 12:52 4
  - Not even sure how that's possible. If I could only save one of Skip Bayless or him, well, I'd let them both die. -- nm - David Mar 20, 12:53 3
    - I want to say he took the correct side on some sports-related social issue (guns maybe?). -- (edited) - Reagen Mar 20, 12:55 2
      - The best running gag in sports right now is Stephen A. Smith not knowing anything about sports. - David Mar 20, 12:58 1
        
        and Skip seems to thing everything comes down to wanting it more - Reagen Mar 20, 13:19
- Maybe we pay too much attention to assholes. - they should of tagged Cowherd directly after this comment -- nm - Beaker Mar 20, 12:46
- Who's the current player that most closely matches that image? -- nm - Max Mar 20, 12:46 12
  - Well, it's based on Mike Trout. The closest comparisons in the NFL and NBA are probably Aaron Donald and Steph Curry. - David Mar 20, 12:49 11
    - Except Steph Curry might be the second most famous current basketball player on the planet -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 12:58 1
      - Yes but he's famous for being great at his sport for the best team in his sport. You win three straight, you get noticed. -- nm - David Mar 20, 12:59
    - I mean the a-hole image. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 12:50 8
      - Bryce Harper, Antonio Brown, and Russell Westbrook. -- nm - David Mar 20, 12:50 7
        
        And Neymar. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 20, 13:00 6
        
        Is he the one busted for tax evasion or was that somebody else? -- nm - David Mar 20, 13:07 5
        
        Cristiano Ronaldo -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 13:18 4
        
        Actually, Neymar too, though he won on appeal. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 13:19 3
        
        but Ronaldo seems to be pretty good with fans, from what I've seen. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 13:20
        
        Which one of them was the more famous story? -- nm - David Mar 20, 13:20 1
        
        Ronaldo, and it's the more recent too. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 20, 13:24
What is your favourite current show airing on network television? -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 12:41 24
- Seth Meyers -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 20, 13:20
- Rookie is our favorite too -- (edited) - SyrDragon Mar 20, 13:12
- Currently airing would be This is Us. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 13:04
- Network? The Goldbergs, I think. The Magicians is my favorite currently airing show overall. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 20, 13:02 1
  - Yeah, Magicians is my second. Rookie edges it out for how I feel *after* watching it. - Spawn Mar 20, 13:10
- The Goldbergs probably. Although 9-1-1 is deliciously insane. -- nm - MDH Mar 20, 12:59 1
  - shark doo doo -- nm - SyrDragon Mar 20, 13:01
- n/a -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Mar 20, 12:58

- American Gods -- nm - mud Mar 20, 12:50
- Game of Thrones -- nm - peglegpete Mar 20, 12:49
- I guess it'd be Orville, and though they aren't what they once were, Big Bang and Goldbergs. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Mar 20, 12:47
- The Good Place - TWuG Mar 20, 12:47 1
  - I took the poll to mean something that's airing new episodes right now. -- nm - David Mar 20, 12:49
- The Simpsons -- nm - David Mar 20, 12:46
- the Passage (but it just finished) I think I only watch(ed) 3 network TV shows - decline Mar 20, 12:45
- Goldbergs. If all shows even those not on currently: The Good Place and Legends of Tomorrow -- nm* - Beaker Mar 20, 12:45 2
  - YouTube TV somehow lost the rights to Legends of Tomorrow. -- nm - David Mar 20, 12:50 1
    - if they had included unlimited beer for Mick, they would have gotten Legends. -- nm - peglegpete Mar 20, 12:53
- The Rookie - Max Mar 20, 12:44 1
  - aka Spawn was right -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 13:06
- I guess Schitt's Creek? it's the only one we watch live (because The Good Place is not currently airing.) -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 12:42 2
  - We have to wait for it to show up on Netflix here. Boo! -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Mar 20, 13:16
  - We watched the first couple of those last night! - Spawn Mar 20, 13:07
GOT fans are becoming a watchers on the wall at Hadrian's Wall -- (link) - peglegpete Mar 20, 12:33 1
- "Hey guys! I brought dogs, and they haven't been fed in a while! Come and see!" -- nm - joiner Mar 20, 12:35
Whiskey Cavalier is fun, I like it, but The Rookie absolutely smashes it in every way. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 12:27 8
- Rookie is my favorite show currently airing. -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 12:40 3
  - Did you see the opening that involved the weapon exchange program? - David Mar 20, 12:47 1
    - Heh, yeah. - Spawn Mar 20, 13:11
  - we should poll (look up!) -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 12:41
- Agreed but sometimes Rookie gets a little too heavy. But WC is just a lot of fun. -- nm - sycor Mar 20, 12:38
- I dropped the Rookie when - spoilers - Beaker Mar 20, 12:34 1
  - Kind of - SyrDragon Mar 20, 12:49
- At this time I'd still rank: early Castle > Rookie > WC, but I enjoy them both. - Max Mar 20, 12:31
so, if I am in DC in June (8/9) would there be anyone in the area who would want to grab a bit to eat? - Truman Mar 20, 12:22 2
- That hotel is in Adams Morgan, sort of near the zoo. I'm unfortunately out of the country those days though :-( - MDH Mar 20, 13:00
- Ideally I won't be here at that point but assuming I am, the 8th should work while I'll be focused on E3 on the 9th. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 12:25
another weird allergy relation: peanut is a legume so sufferers have to avoid beans but okay with tree nuts - SyrDragon Mar 20, 12:22 1
- I think I have this allergy. -- nm - Epiphany Mar 20, 12:34
7am call. 6pm call. When do I nap? -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 12:21 1
- now. -- nm - Truman Mar 20, 12:23
Super worm moon coinciding with the equinox will not happen again for another 125 years -- (link) - Super Daddy Princess Mar 20, 12:10 3
- I feel like some of these terms aren't as real as they're made out to be? -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 12:14 2
  - 2 out of every 3 full moons are super rare. -- nm - Ender Mar 20, 12:16 1
    - Dammit Moon Moon. -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 12:48
what a nice normal household the Conways must have -- (link) - Reagen Mar 20, 12:10 17
- To answer her question: Shouldn't he be able to handle his business himself? Why are you talking at all? -- nm - Max Mar 20, 12:32 2
  - I mean, I don't expect her to defend her husband there, but I would expect her to just say it's between the two of them and they can defend themselves -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 12:41 1
    - she just loves that 70+ year old orange dick -- nm - Jovian Mar 20, 12:43
- In normal reality, that would be majorly fucked up - Amoxy Mar 20, 12:29
- Come on, Melania, back George. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 12:24

- Me and Mrs Dragon were wondering about that last night - SyrDragon Mar 20, 12:18
- Either they are punking us or the most masochistic couple ever. - TWuG Mar 20, 12:14 5

  - Mitch McConnell and Elaine Chao. -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 12:17 3
    - Isn't she current DOT head under Trump? -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 12:17 2
      - Uh huh. Though I think they're a much tighter couple than the Conways are -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 12:22 1
        
        true. they are both deplorables. -- nm - Jovian Mar 20, 12:43
- In case you had any doubts whether she had a soul. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 12:13
- that dynamic is absolutely nuts -- nm - prayformojo Mar 20, 12:11
"I then called my friend Gary to tell them how weird it was that the Taliban called. I pushed the redial button by mistake." - Max Mar 20, 12:05
Speaking of the ADU, at least the countertops are now installed ... -- (pic) - ReluctantCynic Mar 20, 11:59 [Attachment] 8
- I'm expected to reach all the way from here to the other side of the counter to wash my hands in the sink?! Terrible! It's not centered at all! - Max Mar 20, 12:27
- love the window! -- nm - Andie Mar 20, 12:23

Which STers are currently Switch owners? And who else is thinking about getting a Switch? - ReluctantCynic Mar 20, 11:53 27

- My kids do. They have Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Party, Mario Kart, Smash Bros. Ultimate... -- (edited) - Inigo Mar 20, 12:19

  - Everyone get new Animal Crossing when it arrives. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 20, 12:08 4
    - Absolutely. I want Yoshi too, but $60 feels high. I can’t decide if I want Final Fantasy 12 on it or XB1. -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 12:41 2
      - Ooh, I may go ahead and do that on the Switch since I can take it with me. That's the selling factor on everything. I don't have to be tied to the TV. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 20, 13:01 1
        
        Oh, and I think I need Chocobo Every Buddy. (New today.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 20, 13:07
    - Without a doubt, we'll have it -- nm - The Wardog Mar 20, 12:15
- We have one and Breath of the Wild is absolutely amazing. Don't have much else right now - the Let's Go Pokemon games, but they kinda suck. -- nm - The Wardog Mar 20, 12:02
- I have one. I am currently not using it actively at this time. Also I’ve heard that it along with my XBOX is now doomed so why care anymore? - Qale Mar 20, 11:56 11
  - The new Pokemon games (Gen 8 - Sword & Shield) are coming exclusively for the Switch -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 12:05 2

    - trailer -- (link) - ty97 Mar 20, 12:07 [youtube]
  - I heard some rumor about Google rendering all console gaming devices inherently unusable. But how else can I play Zelda? - ReluctantCynic Mar 20, 11:57 7
    - ::He puts on his gown and princess crown:: -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 12:00 6
      - Qale, where did I leave my robe and wizard hat? - ReluctantCynic Mar 20, 12:04 5
        
        I dunno, but I sure do like the look of Link wearing the Garudo outfit. -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 12:09 4
        
        Wait, which one? -- nm - The Wardog Mar 20, 12:16 3
        
        spoiler? - Qale Mar 20, 12:40 2
        
        lol - I meant which Gerudo outfit...the Desert Vai outfit that gets you into the city, or the desert Vo outfit that shows you're a man? -- nm - The Wardog Mar 20, 12:48 1
        
        Vai. -- nm - Qale Mar 20, 12:49
