- Or as I call that "not even breaking a sweat" -- nm - Reagen Sep 5, 14:43 1

STIS: anyone know a good book on the French Revolution? (covers the highs points, timeline; but not too wordy or detailed) -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 13:42 7
- Revolutions podcast does a great job of cutting through the spaghetti webs of it. -- nm - Reagen Sep 5, 15:04

is anyone else enjoying the Rick Wilson/Seb Gorka "feud" as much as I ? -- (link) - mud Sep 5, 13:32 3

IT is still tweeting about his Alabama map. -- nm - Jovian Sep 5, 13:26 13
- I'm dumbfounded. I mean, you can SEE the black loop around Alabama. What's it supposed to indicate other than his utter ignorance, vanity, and hubris? -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 14:03 1
  - His inability to be wrong. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 5, 14:09
- The best part, he's posting a map that shows a 5% chance of Tropical Storm speed winds... not even the real storm. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 5, 13:29 9
  - And why does he hate Tennessee? -- nm - decline Sep 5, 14:23
  - I haven't followed this....whatever it is...closely, but I can't help but be mesmerized by how he just keeps going -- nm - ty97 Sep 5, 13:31 7
    - I think the saddest part of this is there are people literally in mortal peril due to this storm and he's still - Will Hunting Sep 5, 13:42
    - or, I guess, by how much this really seems to bother him, causing him to keep going. -- nm - ty97 Sep 5, 13:32 5
      - As I said yesterday, the narcissism meets power has made him believe that he is literally the arbiter of reality. I'm honestly not sure he even knows - pmb Sep 5, 14:50
      - reposting: "People who repeatedly exhibit this kind of behavior are, by definition, psychologically fragile." -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 5, 13:39
      - There are no longer any guardrails on him. He is just freewheeling at this point. ie His death spiral - Jovian Sep 5, 13:37 2
        
        i totally agree, but, dude, maybe focus some attention on the states that ARE going to get hit? -- nm - Andie Sep 5, 13:40 1

  - thanks! and, sorry, I forgot you work in the city. I'll check menus, I forgot to mention two gluten-free folks will be there. -- nm - b. Sep 5, 13:16 5
    - there goes the neighborhood. -- nm - groiny Sep 5, 13:19
    - Most should have a gluten free crust option. My wife gets the one from Lou's all the time. -- nm - oblique Sep 5, 13:17 3
      - giordano's shows a 10" thin crust that's gf; so it's that or a couple of salads for options. (they also say they can't guarantee actually totally gf.) -- nm - b. Sep 5, 13:25 2

  - Sadly, this is the work phone. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 13:14
Hey guys, why should I get a full size Switch instead of a lite? - spamlet Sep 5, 12:26 13
- Additionally: If you decide to get the regular Switch, make sure you get the one without the mysterious hand on the box. That is original version. -- (edited) - Qale Sep 5, 13:03 2
  - Thanks. I'll keep an eye on that -- nm - spamlet Sep 5, 14:09
  - Thanks. -- nm - spamlet Sep 5, 13:57
- The only thing I didn't like about it compared to the Switch is the smaller screen. But I'm old and have to wear reading glasses now :) -- nm - oblique Sep 5, 13:00 2
  - It’s very marginally smaller. 0.7 inches smaller to be exact. But that makes it lighter. 0.27 pounds lighter to be exact. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 13:02 1
    - Yeah. I already think the Switch is a bit too small when playing some games like Diablo III so it seemed to be a reason I'd avoid it. -- nm - oblique Sep 5, 13:04
- $100 isn’t enough to make me think the Lite is worth the downgrade. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 12:57
- I'm told you need both. -- nm - David Sep 5, 12:38 1
  - Plus, it is best to have an odd number of them. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 12:47
- Wow - we almost exclusively use ours on the TV. To each their own, I guess. But Breath of the Wild should be seen on the biggest screen possible. nm - Chamberlain Sep 5, 12:35 2
  - I also use mine mostly on the TV. My sister uses her mostly undocked. (NM) - Marlowe Sep 5, 13:19
  - It’s been a common complaint that text is hard to read at times using a Switch as a handheld for Olds. -- nm - Qale Sep 5, 12:58

- but did he dig up anything new about you? and more imortantly...does this guy own any guns? -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 5, 12:32
- Yikes -- nm - Diva Sep 5, 12:09 1
  - Typically it never goes this far. He is a foreign gentleman which might have made some things worse but he understood what was going to happen. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 12:10
- but did he tell you about his trip ? -- nm - decline Sep 5, 12:06 1

  - Ugh. -- nm - Spawn Sep 5, 12:20
- ugh. sorry you had to go through that -- nm - prayformojo Sep 5, 12:03 2
  - No worries. The part that I don't think I have mentioned here is that the guy is friends with the property owner. - Spawn Sep 5, 12:09 1
    - :-[ -- nm - mud Sep 5, 12:14
- He has his own rental properties, yet he can't pay rent? -- (edited) - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 5, 12:03 8
  - Oh, he was going on about being a business owner and the millions he has made! - Spawn Sep 5, 12:05 7
    - Jesus Christ, why doesn't he just stay in the God Damn White House?!! -- nm - Mop Sep 5, 12:38
    - Just how expensive was that trip to Italy? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 5, 12:07 5
      - There is a component of him *wishing* he was as rich as his friend the owner. - Spawn Sep 5, 12:13 4
        
        A Guy who Lives in a Pizza Place...I'd watch that -- nm - Beaker Sep 5, 12:16 3
