Deadspin desperation, after yet more people resigned in recent days - reportedly republishing old freelance pieces with today's date. nm but: -- (link) - b. Nov 1, 16:38 3
- I understand there is no more editorial staff, but the tech staff still seems to be there. -- nm - Mop Nov 1, 16:43
- would they have to pay the writers again for republishing there works? or does the site own them in perpetuity? -- nm - Boooker Nov 1, 16:39 1
  - I'd think not having to pay is why they're doing it with freelancer pieces. they're just re-dating something already paid for/published. -- nm - b. Nov 1, 16:52
Seahawks claim receiver Josh Gordon off waivers -- nm - Boooker Nov 1, 16:26 4

Airbnb question / validation request. I'm coming to New York in a couple of weeks and - Roger More Nov 1, 15:36 32
- I would go slightly more berserk over this. I'd point out to AirBNB that it is still listed. They're supposed to protect against it - JackDawson Nov 1, 15:59 10
  - Definitely read the link I posted below (and was already posted yesterday). The FBI is more responsive than AirBNB on this topic. -- nm - Bery Delecto Nov 1, 16:20 8
    - I don’t think so. I’ve had them respond both times by sending a nasty email and then calling customer support etc etc -- nm - JackDawson Nov 1, 16:21 7
      - Both times I didn’t relent until I had a more expensive booking in the same area at their expense -- nm - JackDawson Nov 1, 16:23 6
        
        Ah!! I’m sure! They’re a Silicon Valley company remember they’re above all laws -- nm - JackDawson Nov 1, 16:30 4

        well that's weird, this should have gone one up and looked like it was. -- nm - b. Nov 1, 17:32
        
        All true -- nm - JackDawson Nov 1, 17:17
        
        (in terms of responding to a journalist about the problem) -- nm - Bery Delecto Nov 1, 16:26
  - I think I'll write a follow-up to my message to customer support, but I just wanted to have a secure booking so it wasn't eating at me. -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 16:16
- Also New Yorkers, my dates are Sat Nov 18 to Sun Nov 24 -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 15:43 14

        Do you mean like nightclubs or cocktails? I was shocked to find out yesterday that a bar Diva and I went to literally 15 years ago is still there - JackDawson Nov 1, 16:25 7
        
        Cocktails. Death &Co, etc... - Roger More Nov 1, 16:28 6
        
        A great roast beef sandwich will be easy to find from lots of places. For a chopped cheese you'll want to go uptown to Harlem. -- (edited) - The Bleaken Nov 1, 16:35 4
        
        I have a specific place in mind for the roast beef - in Hoboken! (Sorry Krusty) -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 16:50 3
        
        What place in Hoboken? - The Bleaken Nov 1, 16:55
        
        (Me in Harlem is pretty much like a scene from Live and Let Die) -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 16:51 1
        
        I don't know Bond films but Harlem isn't anything to worry about and is a great neighborhood to wander around. Your other option for a legit chopped - The Bleaken Nov 1, 16:57

- Remind me again: How do I gain access to an airBNB apartment that I've rented? I.e, how do I get the keys? -- nm - Mop Nov 1, 15:40 2
  - You can meet the host, or maybe the keys will be in a lock-box or something. -- nm - Roger More Nov 1, 15:41 1
    - Someone had to pick their keys up from the corner bar. :-) -- nm - The Bleaken Nov 1, 16:37
- Sounds like a scam. Welcome to Nopetown, population not-you. -- nm - Bery Delecto Nov 1, 15:40 2
  - If you're off the hook from AirBNB's perspective, I'd lean toward ghost. -- (link) - Bery Delecto Nov 1, 15:41 1

Fonts and typefaces: do STers have strong or informed opinions about which fonts on web pages and spreadsheets? -- nm - Max Nov 1, 15:28 3
- Oh Dear God yes. -- nm - spamlet Nov 1, 16:56
- For example, Open Sans vs. Roboto? -- nm - Max Nov 1, 15:28 1
  - I’m not overly familiar with Google Docs fonts though. -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 1, 16:58
I turned 21 in prison doing life without parole no one could steer me right but Mama Tried. Mama tried to raise me better but her pleading I denied .. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 1, 15:19 1

Bye bye Beto. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Nov 1, 14:31 16
- I lost a lot of respect for him in the past couple of months. taking a tack from your gfb/g/stans vs. other candidates is not the way to get broader -- (edited) - b. Nov 1, 14:49 4
  - speaking of the pete rally, they're saying 2300 people showed up in the rain. - b. Nov 1, 15:47

    - Both of them. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Nov 1, 15:06
- He should have said "F#@& it, I'm out." -- nm - Max Nov 1, 14:33
- RUN FOR THE SENATE DAMNIT -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 14:32 9
  - I think it's too late for that. He could have made a real run at that seat, but I think he has no chance at this point. "We're going to take your - pmb Nov 1, 14:35 8
    - hes done as a political candidate for any office -- nm - Jovian Nov 1, 14:40 6
      - I wouldn't go that far. he has still been getting good numbers in texas. -- nm - b. Nov 1, 14:56 5

        huh, I really don't see that at all. people have appreciated his passion, it's the right wing/gun nuts that have been the most against him. -- nm - b. Nov 1, 15:39 3
        
        We kill children repeatedly in gun violence yet there are no laws to stop it. It’s not a right wing gun nuts minority. - Will Hunting Nov 1, 15:59 2
        
        I'm totally with you about that sound bite, but that doesn't end his chances of ever being in office again. he was within a handful of points vs trump - b. Nov 1, 16:08 1
        
        although, gotta say he may have lost some goodwill with his timing for some supporters who traveled to iowa/were there for the event today. - b. Nov 1, 16:15
    - Yep. He probably did more damage to the Democrats with that than anything anyone else has done this cycle. -- nm* - Will Hunting Nov 1, 14:39

  - The case against it is that it's being used as a punitive measure, rather than an equitable one to right the wrong - Roger More Nov 1, 13:56 4
    - That’s the superficial argument - the crux is that the statute says we can get “injunction, penalties, and all other equitable relief the court seems - JackDawson Nov 1, 14:31
    - But... we try to get money back from bank robbers, right? Drug dealers? -- nm - Reagen Nov 1, 13:57 2
