- I'm doing my part! *Starship Troopers gif* -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 08:49
I love Mondays. "Your hours are ridiculous" says the renter that I am evicting that has not had a job in over 5 years. - Spawn Jul 29, 08:40
Noticed a couple of TV shows available to rent from my local library - season 1 of Star Trek: Discovery and Jack Ryan - are they worth my time? - LMS Jul 29, 08:23 3
- Yes. THough Disco is better than Ryan...though I am looking forward to Ryan season 2 -- nm - Remlik Jul 29, 08:40

- We liked Jack Ryan quite a bit. -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 08:34
every AOC Reply Guy massively self-owns every single time, it's hilarious. -- nm - Tim Jul 29, 07:57 8
- If 12% of men think they can score a point against Serena Williams, imagine how many think they can do the same against AOC. -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 08:08 7
  - The serena thing really gets me, because the dudes are too daft to realize it would be like that scene in The Quick and the Dead. -- (link) - Beryllium Jul 29, 08:35 [youtube]
  - The only way I could maybe score a point off Serena would be if she just stood still and didn't move or swing. Even then I have to get it in bounds. -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 08:11 4
    - Double fault! Double fault! -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 08:21 2
      - That's honestly what would likely happen. -- nm - MDH Jul 29, 08:23 1
        
        Yeah, only an abject fool would legitimately think they'd take a point from her. - Will Hunting Jul 29, 08:40
    - I could do it, but the game would have to be during an electrical storm and she'd have to play with a copper racket. -- nm - Roger More Jul 29, 08:20
  - I give it 50/50 odds I could score a point against Serena - ty97 Jul 29, 08:09

  - Thanks. -- nm - Shaun Jul 29, 08:01 2
    - Along those lines are we sticking with the same formula for keepers? (Cavemen) - Volnelk Jul 29, 08:06 1

- Obama and HRC got their worst dings for not being politically correct - Reagen Jul 29, 07:20 3
  - The argument that the right is now making to "defend" Trump (I use quotes because it's this sort of "I don't agree with Trump but (excuse)") is that - pmb Jul 29, 08:43 1
    - Good article. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jul 29, 09:02
  - [deleted]
- It's easier to conclude they are racist / sexist / religious fanatics. (NM) - Marlowe Jul 29, 07:20 3
  - If they support Trump, they support racism. If they support racism, they are racist. It's that simple. But if you call them racist.. hoo boy -- nm - TWuG Jul 29, 07:48
  - [deleted] 1
    - They are playing a nice game of realpolitik. - Marlowe Jul 29, 07:33

  - I believe him as well but as a pro athlete he knows he can't take anything without checking that it's allowed under the rules. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 07:24 2
    - hence why I don't believe him. -- nm - Trumper Jul 29, 07:36
    - he just wants a baby, Krusty -- nm - decline Jul 29, 07:34

Tangential to that discussion, Idaho and Montana were basically equal in population until 1970 when Idaho took off and Montana stayed flat - Reagen Jul 29, 06:46 6
- Idaho population follow the river, Montana is spread out for hours -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 29, 19:40

I’m so upset about Milan Lucic. Neal was disappointing, but Lucic is the absolute worst. He’s like Marchand but not talented. -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 06:14 1
- the absolute best part of this trade is that we don't have to protect him for the Seattle expansion draft. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 06:15
Amazon has a 4K version of "Serenity" that is 238 minutes long. Is this just the 2005 version with added scenes? It was only 119 minutes. -- (link) - GregW Jul 29, 06:08 4
- I'm more concerned about Summer Glau's left leg being about 8 inches longer than her right. Feel like we should have noticed that previously. -- nm - Reagen Jul 29, 06:14
- 2 discs and double the runtime? My bet is just two copies of the 2005 version in different resolutions. -- nm - mafic Jul 29, 06:12 2

  - Jack's "factual truth" is hyperbole, but to his point what happens when liberals talk about, say, Alabama or West Virginia? - Roger More Jul 29, 06:37 3
    - Ohhhhh.... now I understand. I shouldn't have interpreted factual truth as factual truth. Ok. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jul 29, 06:43 1

        OK good. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jul 29, 06:59
        
        He's using the wrong metric to judge this. The South routinely rates lowest in key factors for long-term success - Will Hunting Jul 29, 06:46
  - dont most, if not all of those, have exceptionally low state taxes? arent most of those some of the better job markets as companies have - tRuMaN Jul 29, 06:25 4
    - Six are also popular destinations for retired people to settle as they have low state taxes and warm weather. -- nm - Krusty Jul 29, 06:28
    - [deleted] 2
      - also true, population growth with NY or CA could be a tiny %, but a huge number, based on their populations. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 29, 06:34 1
        
        Agreed. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jul 29, 06:37
