    - Which is to the west of Berlin, DEU. (NM) - Marlowe Feb 3, 06:53
  - Georgia the State or Georgia the country? -- nm - Beaker Feb 3, 06:28 1
    - The state, obvs. The one that matters. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 06:34
  - Texas has Paris, London, Athens, I think Moscow, and more. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 06:27 5

- Full list here. -- (link) - David, Troll Summoner Feb 3, 05:43 12

  - By almost a full point. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 05:52 9
    - Yup. That’s a worrisome sign for his campaign. -- nm - David, Troll Summoner Feb 3, 05:54 8
      - I don't buy that -- it was a terrible ad for his stuff...mainly because - Will Hunting Feb 3, 06:33 2
        
        That was the attempt. “I’m not a racist, see?” The numbers suggest the ad imploded. - David, Troll Summoner Feb 3, 06:39 1
        
        I'm not saying it's a bad ad-score result ... I'm just not drawing any conclusions to his campaign - Will Hunting Feb 3, 06:41
      - I wouldn't read much into it. Political ads by their nature are divisive. Beer and car ads are not. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 06:13 4

        Most people don't have an opinion of the next guy yet. Everyone's opinion of Trump is set. -- nm - ty97 Feb 3, 06:21 2
        
        Yes, and it’s lower than pretzels. - David, Troll Summoner Feb 3, 06:23 1
        
        Yeah but those pretzels were making me thirtsy. -- nm - Qale Feb 3, 06:36
  - cant argue with the top 6 to me, though maybe my order would be different. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 3, 05:47
That's a bad beat. Mahomes rushing yards total was 36.5. He had 44 when they got the ball back with 57 seconds left. -- (edited) - Volnelk Feb 3, 05:20 6
- Yeah, but imagine the glory if you took the Under. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 3, 06:35
- That did not look like the same 49ers team that won the two previous games. - Reagen Feb 3, 05:25 4
  - i think he felt the momentum change and was trying to be more aggressive. if he had - tRuMaN Feb 3, 05:41
  - I turned it off at the start of the 4th. - Will Hunting Feb 3, 05:28 1
    - I can't argue with that too much. It's an enormous time commitment. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 05:32
  - 12 runs 11 passes in first half; 10 runs and 20 passes in second half -- nm* - Beaker Feb 3, 05:27

- I’d say ‘okay boomer’ but the artists themselves aren’t spring chickens. (They’re Gen X though.) -- nm* - Qale Feb 3, 05:24
- Counterpoint: those acts don’t have to do the medleys. -- nm - spamlet Feb 3, 05:00 9
  - If you don't have 3-4 songs to play total, you shouldn't be the Halftime Show. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 3, 05:25
  - Like, I remembered those songs but if you asked me to name three Shakira or Jennifer Lopez songs ahead of time, I'd have been drawing blanks. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 05:06 2
    - I think this is where you tell us whether they play much Latin pop in Canada anyway -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 05:57 1
      - I mean, our pop stations are as homogenized as everyone else's at this point. They probably do, I just don't listen to top 40. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 06:08
  - Plus: those acts would look damn foolish with a stripper pole - prayformojo Feb 3, 05:01 4
    - I bet Prince could of used it -- nm - Beaker Feb 3, 05:07 2
      - I'm going to take a meeting now - THANKS A LOT. -- nm - Pippy -Colonel Hootin Nanny Feb 3, 07:49

LIR "too many directions at once" Bery, what can I tell ya. I mean, it's a major live television production in America, and now with Latinos -- nm - con_carne Feb 3, 04:29 1
- But if that's what they were trying to get across... Way too busy. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 05:26
I remember seeing The Black Mayors of Iowa open for Boards of Canada back in '02. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 04:20 1
- That was their breakout when everyone wanted them as an opener... All-American Rejects, All Our Exes Live in Texas, Alabama Shakes all had them. -- nm - rollo Feb 3, 07:20
fyi....bitcoin is back over 9,000 -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 3, 01:28
This is pretty fun--Every character you can think of vs. Oscar (yes, the golden one) - Flavorize Feb 3, 01:17 [youtube]
Did we see this Birds Of Prey trailer (Bjork song)? I love this one so much more than the other ones - Flavorize Feb 3, 00:56 [youtube] 2
- Having Ewan and Mary Elizabeth trying to kill each other in this has to lead to some fun discussions off camera. -- nm - Reagen Feb 3, 02:27 1
  - As well as perhaps some non verbal interactions --nm - JD Feb 3, 06:27
Some will win, some will lose Some were born to sing the blues -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 3, 00:48 1
