LOFL -- (link) - Spawn Jun 3, 09:36 3
- So... he WANTS Mueller to bring charges against Trump? -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 09:39 1
  - Yes, frankly. Because as soon as he does, Barr shuts it down and leaves the House no option but to impeach Trump, which is exactly the fight they want -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Jun 3, 09:42

Warriors should invite Obama to game 3 -- nm - Amoxy Jun 3, 09:18 3
- They definitely earned that win. Although the Raptors failing to capitalize late in the 4th when they stymied the Warriors' offense was the dagger. - Shaun Jun 3, 09:36 2
  - Yup. GS only scored once in last five minutes but Toronto didn't capitalize, like you said. - Krusty Jun 3, 10:23
  - Zero points in the first 5 minutes of the 3rd is unacceptable - J Jun 3, 10:04

- it sold out that fast? -- nm - decline Jun 3, 09:16 2
  - It didn't look like it was headed for a sellout. I think too many people pointed and laughed. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:47
  - Trump ordered it banished. Because AMERICA! -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 09:16

- noice -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:36
- That sounds great! Congrats! -- nm - David Jun 3, 09:15
- nice! -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 09:13
- Woot! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 3, 09:10
- cool - hope it works out -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:54
- woot! -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:53
won't lie, would try. -- (link) - amanda Jun 3, 08:49 2
- OK, I'm in. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 09:00
- Are they not IHOb anymore? -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:50
David, did you post your impressions of Galaxy's Edge anywhere? Given your opinion of Star Wars, I'd like to see what you thought. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 08:42 15
- I won't see it until either August or November, but it's an unqualified success for Disney. - David Jun 3, 08:50 13
  - (aka Pandora) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 08:56 4
    - That thing is still on? -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 09:02 2
      - It's the best thing at any of the Disney parks. - JaxSean Jun 3, 09:33 1
        
        That makes as much senses as an insanely popular water flume ride based on a movie property that has been concealed by the studio for years. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 09:37
    - I'm got a thing or two to say about Pandora! -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 09:01
  - Sounds very much like the Potter parks at Universal. nm - Hercules Mulligan Jun 3, 08:56 1
    - It's like that taken to the nth degree by much better designers. - David Jun 3, 09:08
  - I think we may be going in October. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:51 5
    - You should hurry up with your plans. A lot of dates are sold out. -- nm - David Jun 3, 08:56 4
      - Thanks. The idea was not mentioned until yesterday, but yeah, going to get on it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:57 3
        
        nice! let me know when I need to pack -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 09:09 2
        
        You shall be baggage man and line stander! -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 09:10 1
        
        oh no that's Logan. CJ and I are fast passing! -- nm - Remlik Jun 3, 09:13

Detective Pikachu: C; Saving Private Ryan: A+ - Mop Jun 3, 08:41 2
- I was curious how they determined which 'Mon to feature and which to leave out....there are 800+ to choose from -- nm - SyrDragon Jun 3, 09:13 1
  - They used many, including some very recent ones. - Mop Jun 3, 09:16
Always Be My Maybe: A-. Deadwood: A. -- nm - David Jun 3, 08:35 5
- I’d heard so much about Always Be My Maybe on Twitter that I was surprised it didn’t make the top ten. Didn’t realize it was Netflix. -- nm - Tim Jun 3, 08:59 1
  - it's cute. it's a pretty standard rom-com, but, charming. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 11:03
- I thought Deadwood was good, but also realized I would have been fine without it -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:38 2
  - I get that, but I also thought that I'd happily watch another full season of the current cast...or a new group following on their heels. -- nm - David Jun 3, 08:39 1
    - I also kept expecting Walkers to show up. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:40
Captain Marvel spoils from B2. (You people be cray). - Spawn Jun 3, 08:31 1
- I'm the old non-comicgeek dummy around here, and most of this was apparent to me. -- nm - mud Jun 3, 08:52
Secret Life Of Pets 2 - B - LMS Jun 3, 08:30 5
- It's very sweet, but they just didn't have an idea for a second movie. -- nm - David Jun 3, 08:35 4
  - Of, for that matter, for the first one. - Marlowe Jun 3, 09:05 2
    - I honestly thought I saw the first one but have zero recall of it. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 09:06 1
      - It has an evil fluffy bunny. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:45
  - Yeah, if felt more like a bunch of TV episodes stringed together at the end. -- nm - LMS Jun 3, 08:49
Ecobee releases new SmartThermostat with Alexa integration -- (link) - oblique Jun 3, 08:26 26
- is this better than a nest? I'm totally fine with my nest. (it's alexa-able, right? it's ok google-able.) -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:32 22
  - I need to figure out a way to hook up all my air conditioners to an app. There’s one in each room, entirely independent of each other. -- nm - mafic Jun 3, 08:44 17
    - I was surprised when we put in our Mitsubishi mini splits a few years ago that they didn’t include built-in networking capabilities - Super Daddy Princess Jun 3, 09:02 1
      - also, I do not have air conditioning. at all. (I'm thinking of putting one in the attic this year but in the end I'll decide against it.) -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 09:14
    - I am thinking of switching to hydronic heat (but $$$) so I can control zones via an app. it's so civilized to onsider. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:50 8
      - My mom had the unzoned version of this in her old house. It was nice. I have no furnace, so no thermostat except the ones on each a/c. - mafic Jun 3, 08:55 7
        
        I have forced hot air and electric now. I can't even imagine how nice life would be with competent heat. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 08:57 6
        
        I have excellent cooling, but only a wood stove and inefficient reverse cycle a/c heat (that we never use). I want to put a system in the ceiling to - mafic Jun 3, 09:03 5
        
        I have a propane fireplace in the living room that heats that quite competently but like you, bedrooms are always chilly.I *hate* my heat. -- nm - amanda Jun 3, 09:13 4
        
        This thread reads like the dark ages. - Spawn Jun 3, 09:14 3
        
        Yeah, but my house was built in 1905, and it almost never drops below about 10C outside. - mafic Jun 3, 09:26 1
        
        I get the why of it, but still sounds like a nightmare. If I am cold, I want to switch the thermostat to "Heat" and be done with it. - Spawn Jun 3, 09:28
        
        in theory I have central heat. in practice it's forced hot air and I like my skin *and* my upstairs is converted loft space (so electric heat) - amanda Jun 3, 09:19
    - buy a bunch of smart plugs -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:45 5
      - They’re all hardwired. I mean each one has a remote, so it’s not like it’s difficult to use them. Just be nice is all. -- nm - mafic Jun 3, 08:48 4
        
        Obviously you should build a robot to control the remotes. Then you only have to control the robot. -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 09:29 1
        
        Easier said than done. - Spawn Jun 3, 09:30
        
        cut holes in the walls to get to the wiring, un-hardwire them and splice on plugs using some electrical tape and then plug them into smart plugs -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:54 1
        
        The perfect solution at last! I’ll get my brick saw. -- nm - mafic Jun 3, 08:56
  - I think it is bascially the next step in the overthrow of humans. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 08:38 1
    - "Ecobee, please turn up the heat." -- "I don't think so Spawn, it'll make it too hot for you and I know what's best" -- nm - decline Jun 3, 08:40
  - I think this is ecobee catching up to the Nest. - JaxSean Jun 3, 08:37
  - It is basically a Nest + Echo Dot -- nm - oblique Jun 3, 08:37
- grr -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 08:29 2
  - If only there was some way to retroactively upgrade the software on their devices so that it had new functionality... - Mop Jun 3, 08:30 1
    - right? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 3, 08:31
I've got jury duty tomorrow. Not just *any* jury, though. A GRAND jury! - Mop Jun 3, 08:25 4
- GRAND jury? How will you ever get your ballgown fitted in time?? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:45 1
  - darling, crimes didn't get bigger, it was the prosecutions that got small.... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 10:30
- Wear your Princess Leia hair buns. - Spawn Jun 3, 08:32 1
  - Done and done! -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 08:35
There be Jeopardy rumors out there about today's show so be wary if you like surprises -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 3, 08:18 4
- He finally gets the Jeopardy! theoretical single game max of $352,800. -- nm - mafic Jun 3, 08:42
- spoilers - GregW Jun 3, 08:34 1
  - What time does it air in your town? -- nm - David Jun 3, 08:37
- THAT'S KEN JENNINGS' MUSIC! WHERE'D HE GET THAT FOLDING CHAIR?! -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 08:23
