ST: Joker is at $277M domestically (~19 this weekend); will it have the legs to catch Passion of the Christ's $370M R rated domestic crown of thorns? -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 09:15 5

  - more pearls and Marthas? -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 09:33
- No. From that weekend, it's probably got another 60-75mil in it...so 350mil is it's outer limit. - Will Hunting Oct 28, 09:17
- Definitely not, but it should make a billion worldwide. -- nm - Inigo Oct 28, 09:17 1

- Hey you, look at the electric MINI link below. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:02 12
  - why? -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 09:05 11
    - Doesn't someone still want one? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:06 10
      - oh...yeah...but as I was looking at that it's mentioned the tech for that one is last gen... - Remlik Oct 28, 09:10 9
        
        you will look like a Fisher Price toy with your head sticking out of the sunroof. -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:13 8
        
        MINI's have a surprising amount of headroom. - Spawn Oct 28, 09:22 6
        
        STOP HARSHING MY VISUALS!!!!! -- nm - groiny Oct 28, 09:23 5
        
        Actually, Remlik rode in Nightwing for the first time and when I put the top up his head crashed through the roof. - Spawn Oct 28, 09:25 4
        
        Nightwing? that car is more like the Todd. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 10:00

Google owner Alphabet Inc has made an offer to acquire U.S. wearable device maker Fitbit Inc -- (link) - decline Oct 28, 08:49 3
- In acquisition rumors, it would make sense for Facebook to buy Twitter (they're nearly down to IPO price) but it wouldn't pass regulators. - Mop Oct 28, 09:05
- hopefully this means better quality fitbits. I went through 3 of them and was done. -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 09:02
- YES!!! -- nm - David Oct 28, 08:53

  - there are like...2 shots that it works...the others...not quite there yet -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 09:50
Did people do Halloween this past weekend? I keep seeing pictures on Facebook of kids in costumes so I'm assuming some towns did trick or treating? -- nm - kilboooooo Oct 28, 08:28 26
- The clubs had costume contests etc this saturday, I was too out of it to go anywhere. besides ween isn't till thursday, that messed it up -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 10:58
- I was a Victorian vampire. -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 09:09
- Our town does it on the correct date. I think a lot of bars had events and stuff over the weekend. -- nm - zunkskunk scared stupid Oct 28, 08:49 4
  - Bars giving kids candy seems odd. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:06 3
    - whiskey pods -- nm - decline Oct 28, 09:08 2
      - Ah, that makes more sense. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:10 1
        
        avoid the laundromats. -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 09:12

- Some of the malls do Trick or Treating on the Saturday before. Not sure if they did it here this year -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 08:33
- We usually host a party for the girls and their friends. Our costumes were pretty solid this year even if mine wasn't new. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 08:33 6
  - Pic! -- (pic) - Shaun Oct 28, 08:40 [Attachment] 5
    - Awesome! you guys look so cute! -- nm - Pippy - chicken kisser Oct 28, 08:51

    - awesome -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 08:42
    - Very nice! Everyone looks great! -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 08:41
- There were a lot of trunk or treats scheduled this weekend here. -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 08:31
- Me too, nothing local outside Disneyland -- nm - budice Oct 28, 08:30
- Trick or Treating on days other than October 31st is essentially stealing (or begging) -- nm* - Boooker Oct 28, 08:29 5
  - This is how I have always seen it. We don't even buy the candy until a couple days before so we know the weather/# to expect. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:39 3
    - It's actually supposed to rain hard this year here, so we'll see how that goes. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 08:41 2
      - gross, Thursday and Friday. -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 08:43
      - Yup. Not that I am opposed to having candy left over... -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:42
  - Okay Ron Swanson. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:38
I wanna thank those of you who gave me some input on the negotiating my promotion offer.... - groiny Oct 28, 08:20 15

LYC: Started playing No Man's Sky: Beyond this weekend. Definitely enjoying the update so far but I've been playing on Permadeath mode - kilboooooo Oct 28, 08:18
All electric Mini Cooper SE priced at $29,900 in the US. Range of 146 to 168 miles. -- (link) - kilboooooo Oct 28, 08:13 36
- So the Tesla supercharger stations are only Tesla-compatible, correct? - JaxSean Oct 28, 08:23 34
  - Correct. There are other third party chargers. The PlugShare app helps locate them - TWuG Oct 28, 08:42
  - Fundamentally the difference is you fill up every night. Where I have issues is that we regularly drive 3+ hours to visit family/kids/etc. - kilboooooo Oct 28, 08:27 32
    - Yup this is literally the last negotiating point on an M3 with the wife. - spamlet Oct 28, 08:32 8
      - If you decide to get a 3 don't order till you get a referral code. That'll get you some free Supercharging. I have a code I can share - TWuG Oct 28, 08:52 2
        
        Thanks! I will definitely hit you up for the code. - spamlet Oct 28, 08:59 1
        
        Email me if you are driving through - TWuG Oct 28, 09:01
      - How far is the trip? I have no issues going from Springfield IL to Columbus OH with a stop in Indy to charge and eat - TWuG Oct 28, 08:44 4
        
        It would be about the same but there’s nowhere to charge once I get there. - spamlet Oct 28, 08:46 2
        
        I literally have no range anxiety after a year and a half with my 3. - TWuG Oct 28, 08:49 1
        
        Oh I know that. It’s different and change can be difficult. - spamlet Oct 28, 08:57
        
        That is the key. It is not like 20 years ago when you were using a Road Atlas to plan you trip. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:46
    - Yeah, I think a lot of people have long trip fears for EVs. - JaxSean Oct 28, 08:32 14
      - The stop isn't a big deal. You stop for gas and a charging stop doesn't take much longer. -- nm - TWuG Oct 28, 08:45 2
        
        You can fill up a tank in < 2 minutes. A full charge takes about 30, even at the supercharger. - JaxSean Oct 28, 09:02 1
        
        Tesla has the edge on charging, for sure. -- nm - TWuG Oct 28, 09:03
      - I have a serious question every time I see this stuff. Do people not have two cars in their families? -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:34 10
        
        One for us. The need for another just isn't there right now. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 09:04
        
        we have one. it would take me longer to drive to work than to take the subway. -- nm - Andie Oct 28, 08:51
        
        Zero cars. 😉 -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 08:40 3
        
        I honestly wish this was an option. My 15 minute drive to work would be 2.5 hours via public transit. -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 08:59
        
        I would die! Even though I had an SUV to use while we were in Florida I was still excited to get in my car when we got home. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:54 1
        
        The only reason I'd want a car is to travel around upstate on the weekends but that's not reason enough to pay for a car plus -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 28, 09:47
        
        Right now we have one. Our youngest uses the other. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 28, 08:37
        
        We have two cars. I would love to replace one with an EV, but in truth ... - Bery Delecto Oct 28, 08:36 1
        
        Ah. Amy works close but still drives and even when she finally retires I cannot imagine her not driving some amount. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:39
        
        This is basically our plan once the kids are both out of the house. I'll probably look at getting an EV for myself (70+ miles per day driving) and my - kilboooooo Oct 28, 08:35
    - Agreed. As I said, with my commute I drive about 120 miles per day, 5 days per week. My weekend drives are never more than that unless it is an event. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:31 7
      - (actually, I drive a hair over 600.96 miles per week) -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:33 6
        
        So, 600.97? - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:37 3
        
        Well... 600.96154 -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:44 2
        
        But what if you need to get in the right most lane after turning left? Won't that add a .002 more? -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:46 1
        
        You gotta make it up somewhere else. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:47
        
        driving that much you should get a monster truck so you could just drive over any road obstacles. -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 08:34 1
        
        Nah, I am more Bat Pod than I am Tumbler. - Spawn Oct 28, 08:36
- I have been keeping my eye on this. My commute is 52 miles, one way. -- nm* - Spawn Oct 28, 08:18
Yankees have discussed making a change at pitching coach and moving on from Larry Rothschild. -- nm - budice Oct 28, 08:02 1
- The fans will be very happy if that happens. -- nm - Krusty Oct 28, 08:13
Peace was never an option. -- (link) - Spawn Oct 28, 08:00 1
- I've seen this movie (the tactics are brilliant though) - Boooker Oct 28, 08:03
This weeks episode of Would I Lie To You was hilarious as always, plus it had a dog! -- (link) - LMS Oct 28, 08:00 [youtube]

- Fun fact: The Pats D has scored more points than they've allowed. - Shaun Oct 28, 08:02 8
  - *glares at Carolina* -- nm - kilboooooo Oct 28, 08:16 1
    - But you still beat David! The best way to feel better about losing to me is beating David. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 09:00
  - I like how he starts with basically, where the hell did this come from?! -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:15
  - Barnwell did a deep dive (allowed 43 pts, 5.4 per game)... -- (link) - Boooker Oct 28, 08:05 3
    - Ok, I guess Scott Hansen on Red Zone was full of shit then. Gosh. -- nm* - Shaun Oct 28, 08:23 2
      - Depends on what they call Defensive scoring. I count 6 TD's from the defense in some form - Will Hunting Oct 28, 08:36 1
        
        Ok, that makes sense then. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 08:55
  - I guess D really does win games. -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 08:03
- We've got our own problems. -- nm - Da Bears Oct 28, 08:01 1
  - you guys should have a kicking competition to settle it -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 08:02
Also, how awesome is this wallpaper? -- (link*) - znufrii, human scum Oct 28, 07:58 1
- I like -- nm - mud Oct 28, 08:22
Disney plus promo featuring Simpsons -- (link) - budice Oct 28, 07:42 5

- Still no sign up options for us. LAME. -- nm - Shaun Oct 28, 07:54 3
  - let me know when if spot something (I will do likewise). Haven't seen their shows pop up on Space here so they obviously plan to offer something -- nm - Boooker Oct 28, 07:57 2
    - This is all we have so far. -- (link) - Shaun Oct 28, 07:59 1
