Got an email from WWE announcing NXT’s move to USA. Will be available on demand on the Network 24 hours later, which is good. - Tim Aug 20, 07:14
Fun Twitter game I found the other day: Endless Jeopardy. Silly answers that you post silly questions for, and vote by liking other entries. -- (link) - mara Aug 20, 07:07 3
- Not my cup of tea - but WAY better than the dumb "wrong movie" caption game or whatever it is. -- nm - Uncle Six Aug 20, 07:09 2
  - It was fun for a while, but now it is tiresome -- nm - Amoxy Aug 20, 07:19
  - Yeah, the wrong answers only for the movie thing is pretty dumb. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:15
Robert De Niro's company has filed a $6 million lawsuit against a former employee after she allegedly watched 55 episodes of “Friends” in four days -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 07:04 9
- The One With The Embezzlement. - Tim Aug 20, 07:19 1
  - yup -- nm - decline Aug 20, 07:37
- What was she meant to be doing in 4 days that was worth $6 million? -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 07:10 2
  - She was on a break! -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:36
  - right? I mean, sure, fire her. Get on with it. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 07:27
- that's around 9 hours/day of straight up friends. - decline Aug 20, 07:06 3
  - I mean, just fire her and be done with it. Unless she was somehow also laundering money whilst doing the Friends watching. -- nm* - Shaun Aug 20, 07:10 2
    - Apparently that's more what was happening....it's a terrible headline. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 20, 07:14 1
      - Yup -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:24
Jeffrey Epstein executed a new will just two days before he was found dead in his New York City jail cell this month, according to probate documents -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 07:01 2
- to a secret trust with unknown beneficiaries -- nm - decline Aug 20, 07:05 1
  - Wow, that was very convenient timing. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:36
When you sleep do you like it cool? Energy Star says 82F is where you should set your thermostat for bed time. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 20, 06:59 16
- I pretty much keep ours at 76° all the time. - JaxSean Aug 20, 07:24 3
  - The joys of central AC. I have different settings for each unit in different rooms. I have three separate air conditioners going at one time. - Krusty Aug 20, 07:27 2
    - the planet thanks you. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 07:29 1
      - I know, it's terrible. And it's actually two not three. I forgot that we turn off the bedroom AC when we get up. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:33
- I’m barely able to sleep comfortably with it at 69 and a light blanket. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 20, 07:16
- Yeah, no. That's the temp you set the A/C at when you leave the lake house and go back home. -- nm - Uncle Six Aug 20, 07:08 1
  - Save all the AC money. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:37
- I'm not really on the 'cold' side but I'm certainly not sleeping in the desert side either at 82 degrees -- nm - Pippy, screen eater Aug 20, 07:06
- 82F? JFC, that's almost 28C. They are on dope. -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:04 7
  - Seriously! Way too warm to sleep. I'd end up sweating plus I need a blanket to sleep so it needs to be cool in the room. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:06 6
    - I mean I get what they are getting at. "Here's the best way to save money on AC during the summer: Don't use AC." -- nm - Shaun Aug 20, 07:09 1
      - I know they're just suggesting the optimal temp to save funds but those temps aren't good for living comfortably. Also, they assume no one is -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:14
    - I can do it if there's a ceiling fan. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 07:08 3
      - 82F with a ceiling fan? I'm not sure I could do that. I don't run warm either, just the opposite but I need a cool room to sleep. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:15 2
        
        Yup. I seem to lose heat very easily when I sleep. -- nm - mara Aug 20, 07:21 1
        
        Nice bonus for the summer months. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:24

- Beastie Boys - Live at P.J.'s -- (link) - Krusty Aug 20, 07:05 [youtube]

- Well it's a good job Johnny can sing as he looks nothing like him. -- nm - LMS Aug 20, 06:48
Reasonably informed football fan. As god is my witness I've never heard of 3-time super bowl winner Ryan Allen and could not pick him out of a lineup. -- nm - rollo Aug 20, 06:30 1
- Also not sure if people could recognize brady from his Combine pic -- (link) - budice Aug 20, 06:37
In 2014 a school in FL did a dance performance about the 2000s. It was 10 minutes long and included a routine about 9/11. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 20, 06:28 2
- It's tacky, but I don't get the outrage. -- nm - Inigo Aug 20, 06:50 1
  - Yeah, it's not something that made me angry. They didn't mock it or anything but it was a poor decision to do it and as you said, tacky. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 07:00
Sloppy police work is sloppy. -- (link) - Super Daddy Princess Aug 20, 06:25 1
- “There are times it has been appropriate to make those small subtle changes. ..." - Will Hunting Aug 20, 07:06
An outdoor 'Bed Cinema' event sounds really cool, right? -- (link) - decline Aug 20, 06:23 1

Death Stranding will not have Norman Reedus' penis in it -- (link) - decline Aug 20, 06:06

Spider-man: Far From Home getting a Labor Day re-release with 4 extra minutes. -- nm - MDH Aug 20, 05:58 1
- Thank you. Remlik has been replaced. - Spawn Aug 20, 06:01
LOL. Remember when I said yesterday I was going to see Come From Away again before it leaves Chicago. Nope. I didn't notice that we were buying - oblique Aug 20, 05:46
NY is letting the people vote on our new license plates. Not one good option in the group. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 20, 05:29 22
- The torch hand is best, I have this graphic pin for the ICE protests, -- (link) - zeitgeist Aug 20, 12:24
- I like the background image on the last one. but the stripe and font on it are pretty bad. -- nm - Andie Aug 20, 06:50
- Of the choices, I agree with the designer quoted in that the liberty hand between the characters is most symbolic - JaxSean Aug 20, 06:25 1
  - I agree. The excelsior motto has been a part of the state forever, long before Stan Lee. Though it's obvious why someone would connect it to him -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 06:40
- They did that here a few years ago. I just voted for the one I like the colors most on. -- nm - Spawn Aug 20, 06:02
- Wisconsin: Smell our dairy air -- (link) - oblique Aug 20, 05:47 1
  - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 05:49
- Top Right is the only mildly decent one. -- nm - Qale Aug 20, 05:39 1
  - I like that one the most but the bridge is an issue. It's the Tappan Zee Bridge which Gov. Cuomo renamed after his father. No one not in his pocket - Krusty Aug 20, 05:46
- Lower left is probably my favorite, but it's a weak favorite. - Will Hunting Aug 20, 05:37 2
  - That your state being shaped like a chunky dash makes it work better. I think the Statue of Liberty arm with the torch might work well as the divider -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 05:40 1
    - But get rid of that Latin and any other writing. It can't be read unless you're up close and just works to clutter things up. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 05:42
- Platey McPlateface? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 20, 05:35
- I don't really like the current plates but none of these new ones are really good either. - ty97 Aug 20, 05:34 8
  - I like the one with the Tappan Zee Bridge but I'm not voting for that one because of the name change and that Cuomo likely wants that one. - Krusty Aug 20, 05:38 5
    - [deleted]
    - I think I like the last one because it at least has the falls on it and isn't 100% NYC related. - ty97 Aug 20, 05:43 3
      - It does have a mix of upstate and the city but is still so ugly. They should go back to the drawing board with this. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 05:47 2
        
        I liked the plates they but out in the 80s -- nm - ty97 Aug 20, 05:51 1
        
        The white ones with the Statue of Liberty in the middle? They were okay. I'm a big fan of the throwback yellow/orange ones we have now but would -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 06:12
  - wait wait wait - ty97 Aug 20, 05:36 1
    - Yup. See my post above. I like that one but not with that bridge. Of all the bridges in the state that's the one they chose? Shady! -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 20, 05:39
NYC tourism is up 2 million people this year to 67 million visitors. A new record and the 10th straight year of increased tourism. - Krusty Aug 20, 05:07 4

I don't think this is a national story to the level of Flint and water quality yet, but this is happening in GA right now. -- (link) - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 20, 04:52 8
- Flint isn't a national story either. -- nm - Roger More Aug 20, 06:40 3
  - It isn't? I remember seeing stories on CNN and NYT. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 20, 06:44 2
    - (more a wry observation than a serious post) - Roger More Aug 20, 07:18
    - Forget it Jake, it's Canadiantown -- nm - con_carne Aug 20, 07:15
- I'm confused -- EPA limits are 100 cancer cases out of 1million? - Will Hunting Aug 20, 05:23
- Yeesh, not good. I'm sure people are thinking of moving away from there despite the assurances. -- nm - Krusty Aug 20, 05:01
- Sounds similar to what happened in Illinois a few months ago -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 20, 04:55 1

Another Life, the Netflix series, has an interesting idea. - David Aug 19, 21:24 3

- UNLESS - peglegpete Aug 19, 21:58
"Earthquake or train", now there's a game I haven't played in a while. About 9 years. (Tonight's answer, as it was then: Train.) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 19, 21:10 1

        We were told to offer asking because the comps in the area were between 380-410k so it was priced aggressively - Bacon Aug 19, 20:17 2
