Oakland has acquired RHP Homer Bailey from Kansas City in exchange for MiLB IF Kevin Merrell. -- nm - budice Jul 14, 11:32
Random thought: good luck to anyone trying to move this weekend, those corners where the day laborers hang out, yeah probably no one there -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 11:23 3
- Do people commonly do that for moving? I thought it was mostly for gardening and such. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 11:28 2
  - Yes, I don't see it here, but its common in California. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 13:51
  - Yes. There are usually quite a few hanging around the uhaul/truck rentals. They work very hard for whatever people will pay them, sometimes they - jnine Jul 14, 12:21
As cliche as it is, today's a Wimbledon and Nicolas Cage Sunday. Now playing: Drive Angry -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 11:19 4
- I feel the same way about Drive Angry that I do the collective musical works of The Beatles. -- nm - David Jul 14, 11:23 3
  - Amy got me Ringo for my birthday. -- (link) - jnine Jul 14, 12:42

    - another outstanding post! -- nm - mud Jul 14, 11:39
So, the current count if 20 for Federer, 18 for Nadal, and 16 Djokovic. - David Jul 14, 11:17 2
- This match was huge for the eventual GOAT conversation. -- nm - Dano Jul 14, 11:42 1
  - I think it's remarkable that the margin was so thin with Federer days away from turning 38 and Djoker barely 32. -- nm - David Jul 14, 11:46
Headline of the day: Man shot, killed after breaking into tent at Deadman Campground -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 14, 11:11

- It began yesterday with Cashner getting traded. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 14, 11:53
A seven-hour match ends on a mishit. Tennis is brutal. -- nm - David Jul 14, 11:09
(Did he yank that out on purpose?) -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 11:09
hell of a match -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 11:08
Apparently I'm only a 1x developer. Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 14, 11:07 1
- 6 here. Pushes directly to master? That is a total rookie move. I avoided Fridays as much as possible. -- (edited) - GregW Jul 14, 17:10
It's weird how Djokovic looks so much taller and yet he's 6-2 to Federer's 6-1. - Reagen Jul 14, 11:01
Yesterday I replaced a toilet for the first time in my life. Here's a considerations/tip list for anyone doing this job in the future. -- (edited) - Max Jul 14, 10:57 15 2
- That's one heck of a write up. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jul 14, 12:28
- One other tip, I saw the This Old House guys either remove the old one or put the new one in with tank and bowl connected rather than 1 + 1 - Max Jul 14, 11:18
- WTG! I consider replacing 2 low flow toilets on the first try as my highlight of my DIY -- nm - amoxy Jul 14, 11:15
- This post confirms that I am an anti-DIY guy. -- nm - David Jul 14, 11:10 3
  - tl:dr is if you can turn off the water supply and free the toilet from the floor bolts, and don't have back issues... - Max Jul 14, 13:22
  - Yep. Me too. But it's well-written, and I think it deserves to go on a site like Instructibles or WikiHow or something :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 11:12 1
    - it's an outstanding post but I'm with David -- nm - mud Jul 14, 11:13
- Bookmarked. -- nm - MDH Jul 14, 11:04
- this is a quality post -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 11:03
- Bookmarking this. We are literally doing this in the old house. - JaxSean Jul 14, 11:02 1
  - If you got the old one out without encountering snakes or alligators, you're good to go. Installing is easy peasy lemon squeezy. -- nm - Max Jul 14, 11:05
- Good for you bro. With me, I have found I am more likely to tackle DIY projects now with youtube as a guide than I was in the past. -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 11:00 3
  - I nearly paid for delivery and installation but I am thankful for YT and for listening to miss amanda jones telling me to suck it up and be a man. - Max Jul 14, 11:02 2
    - Yes it can -- nm - Bacon Jul 14, 11:04
    - lol -- nm - JaxSean Jul 14, 11:03

  - Will it come down to the 12-12 tiebreaker? -- nm - Dano Jul 14, 10:32 5
    - That really should be called the Isner Rule. -- nm - Baronfiki Jul 14, 10:46 4
      - You know what? Fuck you. -- nm - Mahut Jul 14, 10:46 3
        
        I'm surprised you can type after yesterday's beating, Mr. Mahut. -- nm - David Jul 14, 10:55
        
        *snort* I was going to say Isner-Mahut rule, but Isner also had a 5th set go 26-24. -- nm - Baronfiki Jul 14, 10:50 1
        
        Loophole: they're just going to play advantage back and forth here forever. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 10:52
Between Trump and now this, get ready for an extra racist day on the Internet: Lashana Lynch to be introduced as 007 in next Bond movie. -- (link) - Tim Jul 14, 09:20 22
- I guess that means Idris Elba is out :((( -- nm - peglegpete Jul 14, 10:37 2
  - They should set it up so there's a bunch of people claiming to be 007 and it's at a casino. Can't quite put my finger on the casino's name, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 10:59 1
    - Quarter Pounder without Cheese -- nm - Under the Influence Jul 14, 11:18
- First Dr Who, now this?! The UK hates men! -- nm - Merica Jul 14, 10:09

- *has flashbacks to the Skyfall forecast hate mail* - Tim Jul 14, 09:39 9
  - I am sort of annoyed at the spoiler portion, yes. -- nm - Reagen Jul 14, 09:57 6
    - I think the spoiler portion means that it's going to be insignificant, unfortunately. Like "for the first time ever, there's going to be a Canadian" - Beryllium Jul 14, 10:24 5
      - Best Canadian Bond moment. - Roger More Jul 14, 10:41 4
        
        In QoS - Reagen Jul 14, 10:43
        
        This wouldn't be an issue if Canada would just annex Turks and Caicos already. -- nm - Baronfiki Jul 14, 10:42 2
        
        or at least one of them -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 11:28
        
        We'd be happy to take PR and USVI off your hands. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 14, 10:56

  - he broadened it to include any country of non-white decent this morning I guess. -- nm - Jovian Jul 14, 09:13
- AOC, Pressley and Tlaib were all born in the United States, so yes, their country has a government that is a complete and total catastrophe. -- nm - Tim Jul 14, 08:52 1
  - This -- nm - amoxy Jul 14, 09:33
That 3rd set was really odd. -- nm - prayformojo Jul 14, 08:26 2
- It’s been an odd match - Dano Jul 14, 08:59
- Yep. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 14, 08:27

      - Yeah, I’ve seen her before. That was just an idiotic spot from a debacle of a show. - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jul 14, 09:54
      - I liked her with a bit of polish she has potential - eag Jul 14, 07:23 3
        
        she's got 'it' but she needs a lot of training -- nm - Remlik Jul 14, 07:55 2
        
        After her headline grabbing stunt, I don’t think a major can hire her anyway. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Jul 14, 09:59 1
