Welp, the Weinstein trial sure went off the rails this afternoon -- (link) - decline Jan 31, 11:28 9
- nm just gif of the dolly zoom on Jaw's Chief Brody -- (link) - zeitgeist Jan 31, 11:58
- She must have been groping around the wrong fat folds. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 11:48
- Someone just won a Vegas bet for the ages. -- nm - David Jan 31, 11:34
- Ummmm -- nm - Jovian Jan 31, 11:32
- Big if... -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 11:32
- ... is she committing perjury just to force a medical examination? -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 11:30 2
  - Assuming this is untrue (?) I find it infuriating. His defense will use it to paint all accusers as liars. However - Andie Jan 31, 11:33
  - (If no, then it's salacious ... if yes, then it's brilliant) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 11:31
- oh dear... -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 11:29
Search is hard. -- (pic) - Beryllium Jan 31, 11:26 [Attachment]
Amoxy - Lafarrow Jan 31, 11:23 2
- Good stuff, and glad to see you! (NM) - Marlowe Jan 31, 11:29
- here here -- nm - Spawn Jan 31, 11:26
Hey Bery, because the BC Ferries site sucks... are there any ferries on the Pacific Coast of Vancouver Island? - Mop Jan 31, 10:49 5
- No. You can sometimes take the MV Lady Rose from Port Alberni to Ucluelet & a bus to Tofino, or you can fly by sea plane. Or drive. - Beryllium Jan 31, 10:51 4
  - MV Lady Rose / MV Frances Barkley are a bit seasonal and apparently sometimes only go to Bamfield, not Ukee ... so it might depend on when you go -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 10:53 3
    - How odd. That sounds highly unreliable. -- nm - Mop Jan 31, 10:59 1
      - Welcome to the coast. Weather is a thing here. And it's not BC Ferries. - Beryllium Jan 31, 11:02
    - (Passenger ships, I might add, not vehicle.) -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 10:56
Oh, I also wanted to ask you all. Does anyone here have one of those "premier" travel credit cards like the Sapphire Reserve? I'm curious at what - oblique Jan 31, 10:47 16
- We have one. After we got it, AmEx changed the benefits. So, now we've paid an annual fee for something less valuable. Tread carefully. -- nm - David Jan 31, 11:06
- It's worth it when you get more benefit than it costs. - spamlet Jan 31, 10:52 14
  - correct answer -- nm - Lafarrow Jan 31, 11:04 6
    - I've never been more proud of myself in my entire life. - spamlet Jan 31, 11:08 1
      - snatch the pebble from my hand - sensai Jan 31, 11:17
    - Congrats to your LSU Tigers sir -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 11:06 1
      - that is how 2011 should have ended -- nm - Lafarrow Jan 31, 11:24
    - Technically correct, which is the best kind of correct -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 11:05 1
      - i love you you pedantic bastard - Lafarrow Jan 31, 11:30
  - I have the Reserve, was definitely worth it when I got it, have to evaluate if that still holds true of my patterns. - ty97 Jan 31, 10:55 6
    - Plus he'll need two and there's an extra fee per authorized user. - spamlet Jan 31, 10:56 5
      - I think from my reading that Chase doesn't have the extra fee per card holder but I'm not sure how many of the benefits extend to guests (like lounge) - oblique Jan 31, 10:57 4
        
        Fact is I probably don't use the benefits as much as I should. The Priority Pass membership is nice at rando international airports though. -- nm - ty97 Jan 31, 10:59 3
        
        Chase is adding DoorDash and Lyft soon (if not already) as extra perks I read -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 11:05 2
        
        Usually you have to jump through hoops with that stuff. My AMEX Gold has random $10 benefits every month we never use. - spamlet Jan 31, 11:08 1
        
        I have the Amex platinum and get a fair amount of use out the perks. - pmb Jan 31, 11:19
Also, LYC. I legally purchased edibles yesterday while in Peoria. What a surreal experience I'm not sure I ever thought I would be able to do. - oblique Jan 31, 10:40 13

- I bought some gummies when I was traveling. They gave me heart burn. - sycor Jan 31, 11:13
- My sister actually stood in line on day one. It was 90 minutes long. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 31, 10:43 2
  - my first thought = they should have fast passes available for that! - prayformojo Jan 31, 10:52 1
    - You'd have to call it something else for pot though. -- nm - spamlet Jan 31, 11:12
- "Big deal. So they have grocery stores in Peoria now." ... oh, mari-jah-wanna edibles. Never mind. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 10:42
- be careful, start with a half of one, and give it time to kick in. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 10:42 6
  - I bought two kinds. One is like 2mg per edible. The other is 20. Figure we'll start with some of the 2 (most places seem to think 10mg is - oblique Jan 31, 10:44 5
    - still, smoking you take in the amounts gradually, so you have time to settle into a nice place. - groiny Jan 31, 10:46 4
      - Yes. 100% was not going to eat, then wait, then eat more. It was more like "maybe take 6mg and see what happens" -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 10:47 3
        
        My wife took one for a migraine headache, it was a pretty big one, and I thought I was going to have to take her to the ER. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 10:49 2
        
        My son was like - oblique Jan 31, 10:52 1
        
        I suppose you have to factor in tolerance as well. -- nm - groiny Jan 31, 10:52
i have prosecco left over from the holidays that i didn't drink. would mimosas and cashews qualify as a balanced dinner tonight? -- nm - Andie Jan 31, 10:38 5
- As long as you don’t put down the glass or stop grabbing more nuts. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 31, 11:02 1
  - last 5 words of this subject line - Lafarrow Jan 31, 11:26
- absolutely -- nm - decline Jan 31, 10:41
- I don't know the WW score, but the ST score says yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 10:39
- Sure. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Jan 31, 10:39

- I chuckled remembering Amoxy and I walking into an Irish Pub at 8:30 am in Vegas and ordering up some Guiness. - groiny Jan 31, 10:22
B2: that PETA add is the funniest thing I have seen today. I'm fairly sure it wasn't meant to be humorous... -- nm* - Beaker Jan 31, 10:10 1

And because why not, Elon Musk just dropped an EDM track on SoundCloud -- (link*) - znufrii, human scum Jan 31, 09:52
I just heard. I'm so sorry. - nubby Jan 31, 09:44 8

Clickbait headline aside, do we care about these thousands of micro satellites perhaps messing up our view of space? -- (link) - Mop Jan 31, 09:41 9
- Cost/benefit. The cost is a more complicated view of space from Earth. Benefit is internet access for unserved/underserved areas. - TWuG Jan 31, 10:40 1

      - To be frank, I expect that the profitability of space exploration will result in solutions to this. -- (edited) - Mop Jan 31, 10:17
    - From a SAILBOAT! But it does me a fat lot of good if I can't take space photos. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 10:07
