Is Google Calendar broken for anyone else right now? -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 07:13 5

  - i track everything on my google calendar. -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 07:17

    - Big Meat needs to solve lab/vat-grown meat. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 07:03 6
      - Big Straw needs to solve Paper Straw aftertaste - budice Jun 18, 07:15 1
        
        It's not taste that bothers me, it's texture and that sometimes paper fibres can slough off. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 07:24
      - "it tastes like despair." -- nm - amanda Jun 18, 07:12
      - that just sounds gross -- nm - decline Jun 18, 07:07 2
        
        It's the only shot they've got, long term. Assuming that it has a lower greenhouse gas profile than actual moo cow meat. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 18, 07:09 1
        
        I'd eat lab meat. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 07:12

- And it's too late to move it so they're not playing on the surface of the sun or during Christmas. *smh* -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 05:43
- The scales, they have fallen from my eyes. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 05:36

Boy George thinks Sophie Turner could play him in his biopic, and the Thrones star is up for it. -- (link) - budice Jun 18, 04:46 14
- If done right, a true Elvis biopic would be gigantic. Although it might need to be 2 movies. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 05:46 1
  - But the second one would be quite bloated -- nm - zork Jun 18, 06:49
- Do we really need a Boy George biopic? -- nm - ty97 Jun 18, 04:49 11
  - There's already been one on TV. -- nm - LMS Jun 18, 05:55
  - Nope. I have no beef with the guy but we don't need his biopic -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 05:44
  - After Bohemian, the three on the fast track per studios were Michael Jackson (doubtful after the doc.), Madonna, and Meat Loaf. -- nm - MDH Jun 18, 05:27 4
    - That last one would bomb ... so hard. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 05:29 3
      - Agreed. Here's an interesting tidbit about the Meat Loaf/Bat musical and why I think it is now on the backburner. - MDH Jun 18, 05:46 1
        
        it played here. a few people I know saw it, basically the reviews were "well, it was sort of fun." -- nm - Andie Jun 18, 06:18

- You have these all in a spreadsheet or stored somewhere, right? -- nm - Inigo Jun 18, 05:20 4
  - Yep, though we haven't done classifications for a long time -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 18, 05:23 3
    - This is great. But I have to assume there are some more details somewhere in regards to how the information is presented? -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 06:10 2
      - yeah, I give her flashcards with the term on one side and a brief definition on the reverse -- nm - prayformojo Jun 18, 07:31 1
        
        Solid. I don't suppose the definitions you use are able to be added to the sheet? It's a brilliant idea, and we may want to borrow it for our oldest. -- nm - Shaun Jun 18, 07:34

I'm in St. Louis and went to the Cardinals game tonight. Matt Carpenter bunted against an extreme shift for a stand up double. - pmb Jun 17, 21:39 11
- Yeah, you can't pull that extreme shift garbage in the home of Whiteyball. We'll slap it around all day. -- nm - Baron D. Chastain Jun 18, 06:02
- 😍 -- nm - JD Jun 17, 21:42 9

    - that's a big ol' FU -- nm - decline Jun 18, 05:53
    - Haha! -- nm - Krusty Jun 18, 05:38
    - If hitters would just do this more, the shift would end for them. - Inigo Jun 18, 05:24 4
      - If they get more than a single that might be enough for teams to shift less. Might. - Krusty Jun 18, 05:39 3
        
        Even the best HR hitters are only gonna hit one every ten at bats. - Inigo Jun 18, 05:50 2
        
        The shift stops a lot of hits but my point is that when he bunts against the shift he's not trying to hit a HR and the other teams are happy -- (edited) - Krusty Jun 18, 06:29 1
        
        Again, that's BS. They're saying that for the hitter's ego. - Inigo Jun 18, 07:01
    - That was a thing of beauty -- nm - Flavorize Jun 17, 21:49
Here's a riddle ... well, not really. It's just something that baffled me about Mission Impossible's parent guide on IMDb. - Beryllium Jun 17, 21:32 5

- My guess would be (spoiler) - Meg Jun 17, 22:07 1
  - exactly. (spoils) - Beryllium Jun 17, 22:38
- Some of those stunts are scarier than any language--the bathroom fight scene, in the last one, was brutal. Was it Jawns? - Flavorize Jun 17, 21:47
"Boys, you got to learn not to talk to nuns that way." -- nm - Max Jun 17, 21:15 1

A Kentucky distiller's rickhouse collapses, 4,000 barrels maybe lost (cries) out of 20k -- (link) - zeitgeist Jun 17, 20:03 12
- "If we don't do something, all that bourbon will be lost!" "Hold my beer!" -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 21:44
- I feel like that happened last year, too. -- nm - Flavorize Jun 17, 20:41 5
  - I had that same thought - some kind of winery or distillery disaster? -- nm - Meg Jun 17, 20:44 4
    - Almost exactly a year ago. Over double the loss :( -- (link) - Meg Jun 17, 20:46 2
      - Nice! I thought so! --I like how you linked to the insurance journal--Yours+Berys articles make it smell like fraud. -- nm - Flavorize Jun 17, 21:02 1
        
        thing is, the feds get their tax money, approx $1,000 per barrel as soon as they finish filling it from the still, much more than the grain cost. -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 21:31
    - Yeah, it was a double collapse - several weeks apart. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 17, 20:45
- Almost like the great molasses flood 100 years ago! -- nm - Max Jun 17, 20:08 4
  - One key difference: Ain't nobody missed molasses. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 20:09 3
    - Also, the molasses flood killed 21 people. -- nm - Ender Jun 17, 20:41 1
      - In fairly horrific fashion. -- nm - Reagen Jun 18, 05:37

Interesting bet for the 19/20 NBA Season. Who wins the title? A California team (Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Kings) or the Field? - Volnelk Jun 17, 19:42 7
- Depends on what Kawhi and others decide -- nm - zork Jun 18, 00:29
- Being a 'homer', I'm going California - JD Jun 17, 21:15
- The Clippers have moved up to 6-1 in some places (10-1 in others)--thats the books protecting themselves from Kawhi going to the Clippers. -- nm - Flavorize Jun 17, 20:25 3
  - Lakers literally have no backcourt--If I told you the names of their "starting guards," as of now, you'd laugh. Nuggets are the deepest team - Flavorize Jun 17, 20:27 2
    - Who needs guards when LeBron and Davis are above average ballhandlers for their size 😏 -- nm - JD Jun 17, 21:17
    - Houston, Philly and Milwaukee have better shots than GS. What if Philly can get a shooting PG and move Simmons to the 4. Giannis gained some good - Flavorize Jun 17, 20:33

T-Mobile Tuesday might finally get me to the ballpark to see the Astros. -- (link) - Qale Jun 17, 19:36
OK, math question that should amuse some (put your answers behind spoiler tags). It helps if you're f***ing exhausted after a long day. - Beryllium Jun 17, 19:33 14
