I haven't been out to a steakhouse in the city in a while. Holy sticker shock! - Krusty Aug 27, 14:58 3
- Have to figure $200 at most nice restaurants for two with a modest wine for 2. El Gougoh, fancy old school $300 and we still had to watch the budget -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 27, 17:10
- Sounds about right. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 27, 15:31
- Cost of everything has gone up (probably more in the past year or so in the US than here in Canada, because of tariffs), and salaries/wages have not. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 15:29
Why is Darkseid vs Thanos trending. - Jovian Aug 27, 14:53 4
- only if he had the Infinity Gauntlet. Otherwise Thanos would wreck him -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 14:55 3
  - CBR says Darkseid wins. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 27, 15:04 1
    - Also with the caveat that Thanos doesn't have the Infinity Gauntlet because that makes it an easy win for Thanos. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 15:05
  - yup -- nm - Beaker Aug 27, 15:04
Vamps: Baron, Budice and NWBR -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 14:53 2

The D23 website is back up. Disney+... SUBSCRIBED. -- nm - Mop Aug 27, 14:49 11
- I'll be curious to see how this works wit the Hulu/ESPN bundle -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 14:50 10
  - That's why I'm not jumping on it yet. If what I was told recently, that it'll be $13 or so for the bundle, makes me want to wait for that. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 14:55 9
    - Yes, the three-channel bundle is $12.99 per month. However, it's Hulu with commercials. - David Aug 27, 14:57 8
      - Really? Ugh. No deal, Howie! -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 15:33
      - Isn't it also the ESPN lite? Not the real ESPN right? -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 15:12 3
        
        It’s ESPN+, their streaming service. -- nm - David, Earth’s Mightiest Hero Aug 27, 15:41
        
        it's the Ocho - so you'll see a lot of dodgeball and cornhole -- nm - decline Aug 27, 15:14
        
        IE no Monday Night Football -- nm - Bacon Aug 27, 15:13
      - Oh, right. That's a tough pill to swallow. I really don't want to deal with commercials. So it's $4 a month for 3 years for Disney+ or did I read that - Krusty Aug 27, 15:07
      - same -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 14:58
      - light commercials or full commercial load? -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 14:58
Tru, Brian, Beaker, Nudie down and then back. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 27, 14:41 1

  - I'm the worst person alive! -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 15:16 1
    - and knowing is half the battle -- nm - GI Joe Aug 27, 15:19
- Hey, I always said he was the elite player in last year's draft. - David Aug 27, 14:37 7
  - Hey...I picked Baker. - Will Hunting Aug 27, 14:39 5
    - Yeah, your guy's going to be an embarrassment for years to come. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:40 4
      - Like Saquon? -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Aug 27, 14:44 1
        
        No, he's never been a problem child. - David Aug 27, 14:47
      - Who’d spawn think? -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 14:42 1
        
        I'm just using Spawn synonymously with wrong. Don't overthink it. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:47
  - Spawn is never right -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 14:38
Sampling New Orleans ala Homer. - zunk xometimes Aug 27, 14:32 1

        Ugh ... throws in towel -- nm - rollo Aug 27, 15:12 2
        
        I will just say that the inclusion of Gus Frerotte worked way better than I thought it would. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 15:14 1
        
        You are breaking my brain - rollo Aug 27, 15:29
- OK then... - Baron Universe Aug 27, 14:38 4
  - 4 white -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 14:43 3
    - Clearly I am no true Vikings fan! -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 27, 14:46 2
      - I expect most true fans have obliterated the memory of that era with booze. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 14:47 1
        
        Oh poo, I missed the whole "Since 2005" qualifier. That explains why my first choice is not first. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 27, 14:54

  - 1 red, 3 white -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 14:33
- It's like history has been rewritten where Mastermind is more popular than Connect Four. -- nm - David Aug 27, 14:31 1
  - Well, you try turning connect four into a forum trivia thread and see how you do. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 27, 14:32

Decline, the Sharknado thing is exactly what Kim said to me when she told me the story. - David Aug 27, 13:37 5
- Great minds :) -- nm - decline Aug 27, 14:45
- or until one of his flimflam men (hi Tom Cotton) writes up an op-ed and takes the blame for giving him the idea. -- nm - Jovian Aug 27, 13:48
- I was reading about this. No doubt he may have gotten it from there...but the idea does date back to the Eisenhower administration... -- (link) - Remlik Aug 27, 13:45

Look at this highlight reel of this lump of sh*t -- (link) - Jovian Aug 27, 13:36 10

  - Meh, that's the look of a person who'd rather be doing anything else but knows he can't. He's the shopping husband. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 27, 14:00 3
    - You combine that look with being isolated and repeating himself. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 14:02 1
      - There is also the obviously easy to fact check statements he makes. That enviro meeting hasn’t happened yet. I was with so and so instead. - Qale Aug 27, 15:32
    - That is EXACTLY how I look sitting on the bench outside the changing room. lol -- nm - Uncle Six Aug 27, 14:01
