Remlik; Ronda didn't break any borders by her size. She broke barriers because she was legitimately one of the handful baddest women on the planet. - Will Hunting Jul 22, 11:53 1

Science guys? Help me out with this? - prayformojo Jul 22, 11:49 8
- LEss for 78 to 76, by a barely measurable amount - Reagen Jul 22, 12:37

  - What are you using for an outdoor temperature? -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 12:49

- Nah, Bill Nye didn't vote for Trump -- nm - ty97 Jul 22, 11:49
Hutch, then Starsky would kick his ass. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 11:48 6
- I was thinking about Cap3: Civil War. Wouldn't Stark be more likely to than Rogers? -- nm - mud Jul 22, 11:53 5
  - After Iron Man 1 he'd give that decision over to Pepper. - Max Jul 22, 12:11
  - Stark thinks America is greater now than it ever was before. He would not fall for what Trump was selling because he knows better. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 12:04 3
    - yeah, they're both too smart probly -- nm - mud Jul 22, 12:08 2
      - The border thing alone would lose him Rogers. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 12:12 1
        
        Rogers never picks the bully, and Trump is nothing if not that. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 13:08
Meriadoc Brandybuck, then Pippin, Sam & Frodo would kick his ass. -- nm - mud Jul 22, 11:45

- For the record. -- (link) - Ender Jul 22, 11:50 1
  - The weird thing is, the Willie write in came to mind. -- (edited) - Spawn Jul 22, 12:16
- Uncle Rico -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 11:50
- Not the slightest chance in hell - Reagen Jul 22, 11:39 8
  - as long as his running mate is not named Tammy. -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 11:44
  - It's possible Ron doesn't vote at all, on principle. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 11:42
  - Yeah, he's a Johnson voter. -- nm - Ender Jul 22, 11:40
  - (funny suggestion I saw was Jerry Grgich (by accident)) -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 11:40 1
    - heh, that is funny (and I could totally see an episode built around that entire premise) -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 11:41
  - aren't most of the Libertarians in the States Republican votes? -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 11:40 2
    - many are but some are true believers - Reagen Jul 22, 11:41 1
      - true true -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 11:42
cool, luckily got into the doctor tomorrow. stupid ear has been plugged with water (which makes enjoying swimming very very difficult) - Beaker Jul 22, 11:38 22

  - but that is where I shower -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 12:07 4

      - Are you sure it is not a hot tub? -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 12:19
      - try keeping your head above the water -- nm - decline Jul 22, 12:08 1
        
        what a newb -- nm - Pippy, pickled left over toast Jul 22, 12:09
- man I've had to go twice in 3 weeks to get crap pulled out of my left ear. sucks. -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 11:45 15
  - I haven’t been able to hear much out of left ear for 3 weeks now due to fluid. 3 rounds of antibiotics and a round of steroids...still clogged. - kelly Jul 22, 12:03 8
    - go to an urgent care and have them clean you out. -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 12:12 7
      - also...since Will loves you a lot he can help you with this...get this kit... - Remlik Jul 22, 12:13 6
        
        Its not wax buildup though. It’s fluid in my middle ear. -- nm - kelly Jul 22, 12:59 4
        
        Ah. Yes, then antibiotics. The flushing systems are just for wax. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 13:18
        
        is it actually infected - hence the antibiotics? -- nm - Andie Jul 22, 13:16 1
        
        It was red and inflamed on week 1, not infected, but because of the diabetes they erred on the side of caution. - kelly Jul 22, 13:32
        
        ah! man that's awful.... -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 13:07
        
        Strongbad recommends this. It's basically the same thing an RN or Urgent Care would use. Some of the local drug stores will stock them also. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 22, 12:42
  - maybe if you had some hair to protect those ears? -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 11:49 3
    - you'd think but ever since I was a kid I've had to have my left ear cleaned out every so often for whatever reason -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 12:14 2
      - did you ever get the tube implant? -- nm - groiny Jul 22, 12:21 1
        
        no I wasn't quite bad enough for that option -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 12:24
  - *endless colorful handkerchiefs* -- nm - Dr. M. Agic Jul 22, 11:48 1

I don't get the Cheers guys. They are all too nice to vote for that racist shitbag -- nm - Beaker Jul 22, 11:28 8

  - I'd go more off Suffolk County going 77-15 for Clinton. -- nm - Reagen Jul 22, 11:36
- Cliff Clavin is the only one I could see. - Max Jul 22, 11:30 4
  - I could see Sam voting for him. -- nm - Spawn Jul 22, 11:36 2
    - maybe at the beginning but not once the All Access tape got released -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 11:38
    - Romney yes, Trump no. -- nm - Max Jul 22, 11:38
  - I agree...but he'd regret it a year later and wouldn't live it down from crap Carla gives him over it -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 11:31
- and yet...most of us know very nice people who voted in real life for that racist shitbag - Pippy, pickled left over toast Jul 22, 11:29
ouch! -- nm - Remlik Jul 22, 11:27
