CNN trying desperately to make Hurricane Dorian happen. CGI for a Tropical Storm -- nm - budice Aug 28, 07:00 1
- Current forecasting has it hitting the peninsula as a hurricane, with intensity uncertain. - ML Aug 28, 07:11
I have Truman's draft card. Do others have it as well because I have to run to go do some walks in a little bit and may not be around each time - Krusty Aug 28, 06:58 3
- message me at - Beaker Aug 28, 06:59 2
  - Done -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 07:05 1
    - just posted his pick. -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:10
JFields, Truman, Brian (best player remaining from Yahoo per his ST message) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:58 2
- Truman's on a draft card too. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 07:02 1
  - and up now -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:04
538 attempts to find the silver lining in Brissett for the Colts -- (link) - decline Aug 28, 06:56 3
- they probably could have stopped after a dozen attempts or so -- nm - ML Aug 28, 06:57 2
  - Brissett’s value to the Colts might be highest as air cover for a front office and coaching staff trying to lose as many games as possible. -- nm - decline Aug 28, 07:01 1
    - Tumble for TUA -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 07:02
Picked. Julio Jones -- nm - CQ Aug 28, 06:56
Related to below, ST Poll: How much do you think automation/robotics/BOTs, etc. will influence your industry or job? - MDH Aug 28, 06:54 5
- I mean, there is a lot of impact, but what we see in my industry is that bots/AI don't have the level of sophistication needed to understand nuances. - Dark Callisto Aug 28, 07:10
- Already is. Not as much in my area specifically, but more broadly across the company. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 07:05
- robots : slim to none. - decline Aug 28, 07:03
- The bots obey me -- nm - oblique Aug 28, 06:55 1
  - for now -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:57
SITWAP: Disney+ for $4/mo if you subscribe for 3 years -- (link) - oblique Aug 28, 06:46 19
- FYI. Hulu standalone is $6/mo. Disney+ with Hulu is expected to be $13/mo. The decision point is whether you think that ESPN+ is worth $3/mo. - oblique Aug 28, 06:57 4
  - With the bundle having ads on Hulu I think the only good option is to get the $4 a month deal. I pay $12 for Hulu alone right now. -- (edited) - Krusty Aug 28, 07:01
  - It all comes down to whether ESPN+ will show the cornhole championships -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:58
  - Or if you're like me, and already pay for Hulu Live as a cord-cutting alternative. -- nm - ML Aug 28, 06:57 1
    - Tivo + OTA FTW -- nm - oblique Aug 28, 07:00
- I am patiently awaiting my email. "Up to 36 hours" -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:49 13
  - I didn't get my email, but it was available when I logged into my account a few minutes ago. - ML Aug 28, 06:54 8
    - See below. I am a "new" D23 member. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:54 7
      - So was I. -- nm - ML Aug 28, 06:55 5
        
        Oh ffs: "Valid for US residents with US payment method only." - Shaun Aug 28, 06:57 4
        
        Disney hates Canada -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:59 1
        
        because they had the Popeye's Chicken sandwich before us -- nm - Bacon Aug 28, 07:04
        
        yeah, I didn't think we'd get it here. May get something similar eventually I bet though -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:59
        
        Canadians are just second-tier Americans. -- nm - ML Aug 28, 06:58
      - Why weren't you already a member? Why do you hate Mickey? -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 06:55
  - You just need to go to D23.com and follow the link. -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 06:50 3
    - Oh wait. Is this in order to register as a D23 member in the first place? -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 06:52 2
      - Duh. -- (pic) - Shaun Aug 28, 06:54 [Attachment] 1
        
        Ugh. -- nm - Mop Aug 28, 06:54
Car update: SlackerTalk once again proves it knows everything. The answer was the alternator. Thanks for playing! -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 06:45
Canadians: EBates (now Rakuten) has 15% cashback with DELL for the next 15 hours if looking for a new computer or laptop or anything -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:36 2
- and 15% cash back from ALOT of different stores actually -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:37 1
  - It also seems like it might be a rotating door of stores daily with 15% cash back. Hopefully something useful pops up for us. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:38
CQ, JFields, Truman, Brian, Baron, Beaker -- nm* - Beaker Aug 28, 06:33 3
- Are we not adding our own players in Yahoo for SuperFeud? -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 06:38 2
  - can't yet till all teams are signed up I believe (CQ having problems and not sure if Baron is back yet). -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:39 1
    - Working on it now. When it goes live, I'll post on the board. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 07:03
ST is Funny: Peloton files for IPO on NASDAQ. Give me your best potential ticker symbols (4 or 5 letters). [corrected egregious typo] -- nm* - Baron Universe Aug 28, 06:30 2
- BECKY is the obvious field to farm. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 06:31
- NASDY. obvie. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 06:31
Krusty back up -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:30 4
- God damn!. I just hit the post button! -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 06:30 3
  - and I'd be even faster but my work computer takes 10 seconds to load BF Boards for some reason (it is a piece of shit) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:34
  - my Budget is done and I am off Friday so not starting too much at work till next week :) - Beaker Aug 28, 06:32
  - SuperFeud ain't beanbag. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 28, 06:31
3rd debate will be down to 10 - Reagen Aug 28, 06:17 28
- I'm 100% fine with this list. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 06:27 11
  - I wished Beto wouldn't be on the list so he would run for the Senate> -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 06:45
  - I need to look into Andrew Yang a bit more I guess. Isn't he the 'give people money' guy? -- nm - ty97 Aug 28, 06:33 4
    - Yang's delivery is not good. But he's the only one talking about job automation which is big. The only issue is people don't want to talk about it. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 06:45 2
      - I think he’s also the only one that’s saying MATH! -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 06:47 1
        
        Considering at least 2 of the 10 don't understand math, Yang is winning on that. No one wants to be told their job won't exist. It's tough. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 06:53
    - yup -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:36
  - [deleted] 4
    - I will vote for any of them if they are the nominee. I still am not sure who I support in the primary. -- nm - MDH Aug 28, 06:44 3
      - I will vote for any of them if they are the nominee. Will hold my nose for a couple of them but that's okay. -- nm - Diva Aug 28, 07:10
      - [deleted] 1
        
        nods - decline Aug 28, 07:04
- [deleted] 10
  - No Tulsi, no Williamson. Should be less nonsense. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 06:21 9
    - Gabbard's campaign is complaining about which polls are included and which aren't and I think there is a point there - ty97 Aug 28, 06:22 8
      - Economist isn’t on the list of approved pollsters. CBS News is. -- nm* - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 06:27 7
        
        YouGov is the pollster in both cases...... -- nm - ty97 Aug 28, 06:33 6
        
        Also not on the list, which doesn’t make a distinction between a polling organization or a poll’s media sponsor. *shrug* -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 06:35 5
        
        Or rather, the list appears to be in regards to the poll’s publisher, not who actually conducted it. -- (edited) - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 06:41 4
        
        And the complaint is about that weird decision. -- nm - ty97 Aug 28, 06:44 3
        
        and only being made because she didn't make the list -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:51 1
        
        Right. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 06:52
        
        Doesn’t seem weird to me. *shrug* -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 06:45
- *outside* chance someone else qualifies by today's deadline but highly unlikely -- nm - ty97 Aug 28, 06:18 3
  - who's on the cusp? -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:20 2
    - Steyer needs one more qualifying poll. No qualifying polls are expected to release today but it's not impossible. -- nm - ty97 Aug 28, 06:21
    - Tom Steyer, the billionaire -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 06:20
- "The Tribe has spoken." -- nm - budice Aug 28, 06:18
Picked. Davante Adams -- nm - CQ Aug 28, 06:16 2
- I know Krusty is around and I see amoxy on BF Boards too so stay close -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:26 1
  - and amoxy is up :) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:26
Amazon's Ring has partnered with 400 police department to provide your door cam videos to the gov't creating a whole new police state -- (link) - decline Aug 28, 06:16 1

  - You wish! -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:12
Come on Disney, send me my D23 Disney+ email already so I can sign up. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:06
SF: CQ, Me, Amoxy x2 and back to me. -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 06:05 1
- You're up -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 06:21
Hot on the heels of his Mixer deal, Ninja has signed a deal with Adidas. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:03
TIL there is a cheetah crisis -- (link) - oblique Aug 28, 06:02
Did something happen to the Yahoo listing for SuperFeud, or was I removed for being a too sexy distraction? -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 28, 06:00 5
- yeah, there is a post you were removed, not sure why (also need CQ to sign in) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:04 2
  - I was trying an experiment on my phone app to get CQ in (he keeps getting an error message) and I accidentally dropped Baron. Be fixed shortly. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Aug 28, 06:24 1
    - What I don't understand is why I need to send a dick pic to unlock access. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 28, 06:25
- Huh. You were there yesterday. Email NWBR -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 06:03 1
  - All will be corrected soon. I will add Chubb to my roster when it is. -- nm - Baron Universe Aug 28, 06:21

Hahahaha! Christian Yelich used the song "Roxanne" by The Police as his walk up music last night. -- (link) - Krusty Aug 28, 05:23 1

Bercow is fucking *pissed*. -- (link) - Reagen Aug 28, 05:15 11
- Wait, we can do that ? -- nm - Trump Aug 28, 06:23 2
  - If only you had a parliamentary system. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 06:28
  - oh, sure! -- nm - Stephen Harper Aug 28, 06:26
- That seems like something he shouldn't be able to do. -- nm - Todd Manning Aug 28, 06:02
- The irony being one reason some people voted for Brexit was they perceived it was giving control back to the British parliament. -- nm - LMS Aug 28, 05:30 6
  - It's freeing, albeit discomforting, to realize that they don't hold to any principles. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 06:15
  - but isnt there still time before Oct 14 for a no-confidence vote? -- nm - mud Aug 28, 05:48 4
    - oh, parliament suspended *until* then. I misunderstood -- nm - mud Aug 28, 05:54 3
      - They're in session next week before parliament gets suspended again so there's a (small) possibility it could be done in time. -- nm - LMS Aug 28, 06:06 2
        
        Question - the Queen has to approve it, right? What are the chances she doesn't? Which would be seen as being more involved -- (edited) - Andie Aug 28, 06:20 1

Rather significant change in Tropical Storm Dorian’s track thanks to a re-centering. Friday night’s forecast determines who in Fla needs to prepare. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 05:11 7
- TD 6 is now TS Erin - heading to Halifax -- (link) - decline Aug 28, 05:51 [Image] 2
  - yeah, we were a little worried about all the rain but it has veered off to the East more towards NS and NF -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 05:53
  - Yup, Thursday/Friday is going to be interesting. -- nm - Reagen Aug 28, 05:53
- New track has it aiming for the somewhere around Orlando as a Cat 2 -- (link) - decline Aug 28, 05:49 [Image] 3
  - I just can’t trust that forecast until a disturbance between Dorian and the Bahamas moves west first. -- nm - Qale Aug 28, 06:08 1
    - the spaghetti models are pretty consistant -- (link) - decline Aug 28, 06:13 [Image]

The NB Conservative Govt's vaccine stance has me really on board with them right now. Have had no issues with almost everything they've done so far -- (link) - Beaker Aug 28, 05:09 3
- Yeah it's so weird. When I first heard of it I just assumed they were against it, but then was pleasantly surprised that they were pushing for it. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:02 2
  - and pushing hard too. He pretty much called all the anti-vaccine folks a bunch of fucking lunatics yesterday (which they are). -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:28 1
    - Cool, and yes they are. -- nm - Shaun Aug 28, 06:29
HMS Terror's 'incredible' condition may offer new clues to Franklin Expedition mystery -- (link) - Beaker Aug 28, 05:02 2

Groiny, ZNU for 2, groiny, Stephen in CAVEMAN -- nm* - Beaker Aug 28, 04:50 2
- anyone have a contact for groiny? (although I think it would only be 8 AM where he is, so still early) -- nm - Beaker Aug 28, 06:12 1
  - How long do we want to give him? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Aug 28, 06:50
Brian, Truman, JFields in SUPER FEUD -- nm* - Beaker Aug 28, 04:50 9

  - He sent a draft card and I spoke with him on text and made his pick for him. He doesn't have access to BOP -- nm - Krusty Aug 28, 05:54 4
