I didn't notice this for a long time because she always has heavy bangs, but I have a student with a forehead piercing. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 14:26 3
- Look closer, you may have missed some writing on their eyelids. -- nm - Max Oct 17, 14:30
- Like little horns sticking out? A bar? -- nm - sycor Oct 17, 14:30 1
  - ring through forehead "wrinkles". -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 14:31
JaxSean, that was a horrible groaner you posted on Facebook - amoxy Oct 17, 14:21 2
- Well, you posted it yesterday, just saw it - amoxy Oct 17, 14:28 1
  - Yeah one these days you need to have Suzanne tell you her Barry Gibb story -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 14:47
I figured out what Batman villain Paul Dano actually looks like. - Beryllium Oct 17, 14:19
I’m sorry for my outburst earlier. I apologize to y’all because I’m not normally like that. That being said, it wasn’t because of what he was watching - Qale Oct 17, 14:06 14
- Is this the one where Cartman called out LeBron's tweets verbatim? Because that's hysterical to me. -- nm - David Oct 17, 14:37 1
  - It was. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:39
- weak episode anyway -- nm - mud Oct 17, 14:15
- its very very rude and that kind of sh*t bothers me more than anything. - Jovian Oct 17, 14:15 1
  - I wanted that MLM to rope in their prey! And I wanted that kid next to us to get that job! And I was trying to write sexy time stuff! -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:17
- Tis OK. I was gonna ask if you had addressed him as a cis, white male, boomer. Cause Immmma gone guess he wouldn't have understood ;-) -- nm - JD Oct 17, 14:13 2
  - It would be unlikely. I probably ought not have confronted him, even as nice as I did. People do brandish guns here. I tend to forget that. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:14 1
    - Don’t ever forget that. - Pippy- Oct 17, 20:16
- Eh, people suck. Sometimes you need to complain about sucky people. No worries. - sycor Oct 17, 14:10 5
  - I'm currently on the El listening to some mediocre rap on soemone's phone half a car away. -- nm - . Oct 17, 14:16 1
    - And that person should have their phone taken away and the speakers disabled. -- nm - sycor Oct 17, 14:20
  - I do find it interesting that it’s almost always older people doing these things. The kiddos, they’re way more respectful. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:13 2
    - ageist -- nm - mud Oct 17, 14:17 1
      - Oy! -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:21
How quickly things change. Exactly one week ago my area was showing 41% support for Liberals, and next was 32% for NDP, today... - Andie Oct 17, 14:06 2
- I saw a People's Party sign on my street today. (There was also a vandalized People's Party sign leaning against the side of the house) -- nm - Roger More Oct 17, 14:18
- There's no way 338 has that level of precision on races. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 14:09
Finance question. Capital One just sent me an email about opening a bank account. If I deposit X amount of money I get a bonus $200. - sycor Oct 17, 14:00 5
- what is the amount required? What are the fees after 90 days? - Reagen Oct 17, 14:08 4
  - Interest is 1.9%. No monthly fees. - sycor Oct 17, 14:14 3
    - No, I mean there's an implied interest rate you earn from the bonus based on how much deposit is required. - Reagen Oct 17, 14:18 1
      - Ah. Well right now the money is just sitting in my credit union account. - sycor Oct 17, 14:22
    - They typically require you to deposit a large amount and/or have direct deposit. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:15
AEW remained steady at 1.014 million after 1.018 million last week. NXT dropped 12.3% to 712k. - David Oct 17, 13:56 20
- AEW needs to be more tight on the reffing though. From episode 1 it’s been super loose with ‘the rules.’ -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:30 1
  - They joked about that on Being the Elite this week. - David Oct 17, 14:37
- AEW aftershow, kid cosplayed as Orange Cassidy (freshly squeezed) and got a match with Cody! -- (link) - Remlik Oct 17, 14:21 3
  - (Don't look at this, Kim! I had it saved to show you tonight!) -- nm - David Oct 17, 14:22 2
    - Kim an OC fan? -- nm* - Remlik Oct 17, 14:25 1
      - She loves that kid. It's either his second or third time at ringside. -- nm - David Oct 17, 14:29
- AEW is the more exciting show, NXT is the better pro wrestling show. They need to get out of that venue into a bigger one. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 13:59 13
  - If NXT leaves Full Sail, this ‘war’ is over. They’ll have tarps covering arenas within months. They only can produce big crowds when it’s a TakeOver. - Qale Oct 17, 14:08 3
    - They could move to a bigger place down there in Florida that can hold more than 300 people. But they don't need to tour and shouldn't - Remlik Oct 17, 14:13 2
      - Sure, but then they’re abandoning another reason why the are at Full Sail: Students there get involved in the technical side of the business, yes? -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:20 1
        
        if they stay in town they can still use the students. But yeah I get that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 14:24
  - I don't see it that way *at all*. I found last night's NXT extremely boring. Meanwhile, Scorpio Sky's getting a tennis shoe over. - David Oct 17, 14:03 8
    - You're talking presentation which I agree, I'm talking in terms of ability - Remlik Oct 17, 14:12 2
      - I'm pretty sure you didn't watch both shows last night from the way you're talking. -- (edited) - David Oct 17, 14:21 1
        
        We have to watch NXT tonight. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 14:43
    - How much do you think AEW is benefiting from just being new? - Will Hunting Oct 17, 14:10 4
      - I think that's a good question that's hard to answer. So far, the story angles and match selections/set-ups are very good. - David Oct 17, 14:29
      - When I watch, I see the hunger in the wrestlers’ performances I don’t see in the WWE. There is a sense of urgency and of purpose. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:12 2
        
        I agree...outside of the NXT crew. I do see that there for that roster. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 14:14 1
        
        Other than some very obvious things, I don’t think they’re even necessarily wrestling in a more dangerous way. The combinations are unique. -- nm - Qale Oct 17, 14:17
ssssoooooo . . . I've been gone for a while... - call me Ishmael Oct 17, 13:55 4
- good morning! Losing my religion - amoxy Oct 17, 14:19
- hey there sir! -- nm - Jovian Oct 17, 14:16
- *waves* same as it ever was -- nm - JaxSean Oct 17, 13:58 1
  - damnit. now i have a Talking Heads earworm... -- nm - call me Ishmael Oct 17, 14:01
Upper deck seats for the world series are $650 each. That's insane! -- nm - Krusty Oct 17, 13:26 13
- Do you ever bring any props to games, like distractor faces, foamy fingers, giant hats, a personal t-shirt cannon? -- nm - Max Oct 17, 13:47 1
  - I wish they'd let me bring in a personal t-shirt cannon. I'd shoot so many people with a shirt or a can of soda. 🤷‍♂️ - Krusty Oct 17, 14:02
- How can you possibly say no? -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 13:44
- So I figured it out and thereby jinxed us beyond repair, sorry. My package was below the threshold for guaranteed list price tickets. Fixed that. Go - JackDawson Oct 17, 13:42 3
  - That's a fair price despite the blackmail -- nm - Krusty Oct 17, 13:44 2
    - (I'll be in Europe through the 28th) -- nm - JackDawson Oct 17, 13:53
    - Yeah I mean the chances that there is a WS Game 6 at Yankee Stadium this year has to be, right now, in the low teens? Lower? -- nm - JackDawson Oct 17, 13:52
- Supply and demand, I guess -- nm - JD Oct 17, 13:29 5
  - It's a nice fuck you to the blue collar fans and those that aren't season ticket holders. - Krusty Oct 17, 13:47 4
    - For the NFL (Jags), if we make it to wild card, price is $236/per. - JaxSean Oct 17, 13:55 1
      - That's just wrong. Either the fans get gouged or they sell to someone who might not be a fan of the home team or either team. - Krusty Oct 17, 13:59
    - I got Giants/As WS tickets by buying 4 and selling 2 for double...ta dah.... -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 17, 13:51 1
      - That's what we did with our Hamilton group order too -- nm - kilboooooo Oct 17, 13:52
"Please listen to all our menu options because they have changed" is just a delay tactic, right? They don't expect anyone to actually have memorized t - JackDawson Oct 17, 13:25 6
- Not memorized but I do have the phone tree buttons noted on my contact list for certain places to make it faster. -- nm - sycor Oct 17, 14:01
- its still press uno primero for english and two for drunken -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 17, 13:44
- We've had people continue to try to quickly dial the extension for former employees, so technically that message would be accurate. -- nm - Max Oct 17, 13:30
- They say it so that you'll pay more attention to the robots, requiring them to hire less humans. -- nm - David Oct 17, 13:29 1
  - this -- nm - budice Oct 17, 13:51
- I used to call my cable and phone company so often I had the menu memorized. -- nm - Krusty Oct 17, 13:27
Rick Perry: Out -- nm - znufrii Oct 17, 13:14 2
- He's gay? Not surprising -- nm - Amoxy Oct 17, 13:15 1
  - I mean... -- (link*) - znufrii Oct 17, 13:16 [Image]
Trump's lawyer: "Prank caller, prank caller!" -- (link) - Reagen Oct 17, 13:12
Another one of those tempting-on-name-alone boats: "5th Element". A bit pricey, though. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 17, 13:08 2
- She's a beaut! -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 13:10 1
  - I dislike that the traveler goes across the cockpit that way. Gets in the way. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 13:13
Ok kids...fantasy question that seems a little crazy. But looking at matchups...do I dare - Chamberlain Oct 17, 13:03 1
- Yep, although it’s a better matchup for Fournette, but Mishnew should have good stats -- nm - Flavorize—Stat nerd Oct 17, 13:39
No live organism can continue for long to exist sanely under conditions of absolute reality; even larks and katydids are supposed, by some, to dream. - decline Oct 17, 12:56
Juul to stop selling several flavored products in the United States -- (link*) - Mop Oct 17, 12:44 2
- Smh -- nm - Krusty Oct 17, 13:05 1
  - I don't get it either -- nm - rollo Oct 17, 14:31
Elizabeth Hurley joined Runaways.... -- (link) - Remlik Oct 17, 12:41 2
- oh alright I'll continue watching. Isn't there a Cloak & Dagger crossover too? -- nm - mud Oct 17, 12:43 1
  - on the way. -- nm - Remlik Oct 17, 12:54
Elf worship! -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 17, 12:26 1
- UNHOLY -- nm - Pippy - Makeup Hoarder Oct 17, 12:38
Ten pound turkey in my counter-top roaster oven. ~2 1/2 hours and it's almost overcooked :/ - MonsterMeg Oct 17, 12:24 6
- you must be really hungry -- nm - decline Oct 17, 12:37 3
  - Really have no immediate plans for it but it's been in the freezer since last November and I had this morning free. -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 17, 12:39 2
    - take a couple of lbs and make turkey pot pies :) -- nm - decline Oct 17, 12:45 1
      - mmmmmm, pie -- nm - homer Oct 17, 12:47
- To show America's displeasure for Turkey, we're all going to come together on November 28th and EAT them! -- nm - Mop Oct 17, 12:27 1
  - Starting now! ;) -- nm - MonsterMeg Oct 17, 12:38
Did the Kurds and Syria agree to these terms or just Turkey? - pmb Oct 17, 12:21 6
- After Pence said they agreed to a ceasefire, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says, “This is not a ceasefire. - Remlik Oct 17, 12:39 1
  - "..., it's a fox hunt, and we generously gave the Kurds a 5-day running start." -- nm - Max Oct 17, 12:41
- It's more of a 'Turkey will not massacre any more Kurds for 5 days, but only if they all run away' type of deal -- nm - decline Oct 17, 12:34 2
  - coincidentally, in 5 days Erdogan is set to meet with Putin - decline Oct 17, 12:35 1
    - but that's just a coincidence! You just said it yourself. -- nm* - mick Mulvaney Oct 17, 12:39
- I don't know if you can count but Syria + USA = 2, duh. -- nm - Mick Mulvaney Oct 17, 12:23
What are the odds? The G7 conference will be held at Trump National Doral. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ -- nm - Volnelk Oct 17, 12:19
Serenity (2019): I....didn't think it was awful. B-. Vague spoils - prayformojo Oct 17, 12:14 2
- You are generous kind sir - Pippy - Makeup Hoarder Oct 17, 12:15 1
  - I was a little let down that I didn't find it as such. I was kinda in a mood for a spectacularly bad movie when I watched it -- nm - prayformojo Oct 17, 12:17
so i get to stay tomorrow night near the Cincinnati airport. I cant remember if there is anything fun in that area - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:10 23

  - Horseshoe casino is right in Cinci -- nm - Jovian Oct 17, 13:11
  - Yeah, I would go to Shawnee Lookout and then hit Hollywood Casino -- (link) - Max Oct 17, 12:30
  - *ears perk up* -- nm - Pippy - Makeup Hoarder Oct 17, 12:26

- The Montgomery Inn - Jovian Oct 17, 12:14 2
  - Meh. -- nm - Ender Oct 17, 12:24
  - Also good. They have two places. The original is further north, but they have a second location called the Boathouse, on the east side of downtown. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 17, 12:16
- There is not. Not even close. Go downtown to the OTR district. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 17, 12:13 9
  - If you want more specific suggestions, let me know, but Vine Street between Central and 15th is awesome. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 17, 12:15 8
    - I haven't been to Cincy said we moved away from Milford back in 1993, so ok then. -- nm* - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:19 7
      - I was just in Milford and Dayton and I'd go back to the Carillon park next time I'm in the area. -- nm - Max Oct 17, 12:33 2
        
        Carillon has nothing on the Air Force Museum. -- nm - Ender Oct 17, 12:56 1
        
        I haven't been since the 90s, but since we have one of those in DC, given the choice, I wanted to see old cars and history in the park. -- nm - Max Oct 17, 12:57
      - Very very different down there than it was even 10 years ago. It's a super cool area. -- (edited) - Volnelk Oct 17, 12:24 3
        
        thanks guys. I may just wander around then, all depends on how my day goes. - tRuMaN Oct 17, 12:31

- "total capitulation" -- (link) - decline Oct 17, 12:17 3
  - Although I agree with this as an assessment, I'm not sure it qualifies as a fact check if you don't name the "experts". -- nm - Max Oct 17, 12:40 1
    - Fred & Bob -- nm - decline Oct 17, 12:46
  - "... of the heart" -- nm - Beryllium Oct 17, 12:26

  - It's too lucid, I acknowledge. -- nm - Reagen Oct 17, 12:17
HBO has set a January premiere date for drama series The Outsider, based on Stephen King’s bestselling novel -- nm - decline Oct 17, 12:09 1
