To clarify, Vudu's UHD upgrade of WB movies is *ONLY* for movies bought directly from Vudu. No D2D titles, no digital code titles, no MA transfers. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 10:00 2
- I haven't had anything happen with my account yet. -- nm - David Feb 4, 10:06 1
  - The titles I've bought directly from Vudu are a minuscule fraction of my entire collection. I don't expect any to qualify for this promotion. - Mop Feb 4, 10:11
Florida men have a bag with "Bag Full of Drugs" on it when stopped by police...guess what is inside.... -- (link) - Beaker Feb 4, 09:59
Bery can you put this up on the Recent News - Diet Bet Group - wording inside - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:54 6
- With regard to letting kim know: I assume the project626 email is a good way to do that? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 10:13
- OK. We're in it this time. No, really. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 4, 10:09 3
  - I'm in as well. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 10:10 1
    - Yeah, I think I'm in. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 10:11
  - :) -- nm - prayformojo Feb 4, 10:09
- Done :) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 10:07
Any time I can make more money it is good for Jacksonville and the fans. It's just science. -- nm - Jags owner Feb 4, 09:53 3
- I mean, it just makes sense. Now make the monorail we have actually *go* somewhere. - JaxSean Feb 4, 10:02 1
  - At least it's operating unlike our $51m boondoggle that closed after one year -- (link) - spamlet Feb 4, 10:19
- That's why you can't impeach me! -- nm - Jags owner Feb 4, 09:54
Sources: Knicks part ways president Steve Mills, target Raptors' Masai Ujiri -- (link) - Beaker Feb 4, 09:50 2
- Toronto is going to hate it, but it's probably a good move for Masai if he wants to scale up his Africa work. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 4, 10:35
- Finally a good move by the Knicks! -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 10:02
The more I am thinking about this Iowa thing, it’s a bunch of adults whining like children. - Qale Feb 4, 09:47 2
- Qale has the conch! -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 10:17
- Sucks to your assmar! -- nm - Ender Feb 4, 09:50
"New Hampshire, we will get this right." -- (link) - mud Feb 4, 09:38 1

Well, at least Melania didn't have Marla murdered. -- (link) - Mop Feb 4, 09:33 3
- You can see it on their faces! -- nm - Max Feb 4, 09:56
- I figured she'd get Ivanka first -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 09:53
- Day's not over yet -- nm - rollo Feb 4, 09:42
Nothing major quite yet, but there's an official PS5 webpage now. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 4, 09:30
Thanks to Mahomes' kneel downs at the end of the SB, *a lot* of people lost money on the over for his total rushing yards. -- (link) - Shaun Feb 4, 09:27 7
- *respect* -- nm - Kaep Feb 4, 09:33
- And, as I read earlier, a lot of people made money betting the under. -- nm - zunk lake county Feb 4, 09:31
- Meh. If you're betting stupid props like this, you have to expect crazy things. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:28 4
  - And, frankly, you should factor that kind of shit into your bet. What percentage of NFL Games end with a QB kneeling for 1-3 plays to run out clock? - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 09:30 3
    - for 3 yards, not running backwards 3 times for 15 though -- nm - Beaker Feb 4, 09:32 1
      - Capped off with a 7 yard loss on his last kneel down - JD Feb 4, 09:48
    - Exactly. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:31
Iowa Dem chairman: results by 4:00 CT -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:26 3
- Reminder, this was a mess in 2012 also. -- (link) - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:28
- "mostly" -- nm - mud Feb 4, 09:27 1
  - Yes, Troy Price says "about 50%" He won't say when the rest are coming. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 10:09
Impeachment finale: I think Rand Paul just publicly used the suspected whistleblower's name on the Senate floor. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:22 16
- He's such a prick. And unamerican. -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 09:54
- What? Rand is a dick?! -- nm - Ender Feb 4, 09:52 2
  - It's genetic. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 10:05 1
    - Or Kentucky. - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 10:15
- He should be held in contempt. Mitch will set this right! -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 09:42
- Christ, what an asshole. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:40
- I don't get why saying the name is such a thing for them. - Inigo Feb 4, 09:29 6
  - because Dear Leader wants them to. -- nm - Jovian Feb 4, 10:46
  - I think you answered your own question there; #MobbedUpPresidency -- nm - mud Feb 4, 09:49
  - They know the crazies will make their lives Hell and the next person will think twice about it. -- nm - spamlet Feb 4, 09:47
  - It's like Bettlejuice. - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:32
  - Uhm, so others will not come forward. This is textbook. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 09:31 1
    - Yep. Ten other people corroborated, but would any of them have spoken up is this guy hadn’t gone through the appropriate whistleblower channels? -- nm - Roger More Feb 4, 10:13
- Of course he did. He couldn’t get someone else to do it. -- nm - spamlet Feb 4, 09:23
- Lock Him Up! -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 09:23
- Because of course he did. -- nm - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 09:23
I think we just had an earthquake. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 09:21 3
- Not seeing it on the map. Less than 2.5? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:26 1
  - Maybe it's just our building collapsing. Either way... that was stressful. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 09:32
- oh shit... -- nm - Diva Feb 4, 09:22
So I'm guessing this delay will end up helping Biden and hurting Buttgieg the most - eag Feb 4, 09:08 10
- What I read this AM: this delays the narrowing of the field, which helps Bernie. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 4, 09:23
- Buttgieg should bear the brunt since a lot of this is his mess. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:11 6
  - How so? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 4, 09:18 5
    - It's more than the app fishiness. A lot of the mess happened because of requests his campaign made. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:22 2
      - That's Bernie apparently , wanting more data. - Will Hunting Feb 4, 09:24 1
        
        I mean the pre-vote changes. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:52
    - He paid for the app. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 09:18 1
      - No he didn't. He's a customer of the company, same as Biden and Gillibrand are/were. - Will Hunting Feb 4, 09:19
- I dunno. Isn't the "Biden did super crappy" narrative sorta set in on the engaged crowd? Why wouldn't his crowd start considering their options? - Name Withheld By Request Feb 4, 09:10
- The delay is good news for both Biden and Pete. Tweets from individual precincts seemed to indicate both should just drop out now. -- nm - Tim Feb 4, 09:10
Aw fuck. Ars Technica has a new series of videos, "War Stories", about the making of classic video gaming. Like I needed a new channel to subscribe to -- (link) - Mop Feb 4, 09:04 [youtube] 4
- Randomly, I watched the Ultima one yesterday. I didn't realize the series was new. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:11 3
  - New? I don't follow. I played Ultima Online at launch in '97. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 09:21 2
    - War Stories, Mop. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:23 1
      - Ah, I guess it's new to me. The Ultima episode is from '17. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 09:32
I know I've mentioned this before, and it's rather small compared to others here, but one of our faculty used to be in a band. -- (link) - Mop Feb 4, 09:00 4
- Kind of like when Art Alexasis from Everclear played a teacher on some Nickelodeon show I watched with my kids. - zunk lake county Feb 4, 09:29 1
  - Which is as legitimate as James Franco teaching film class at USC. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 09:36
- I adored that entire Information Society album. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 09:26
- oh that's cool....What's on Your Mind was a favorite of mine.... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 4, 09:06 [youtube]
Filed under "uh oh": Beyond the abyss: The mission to drill through the Earth's crust -- (link) - Mop Feb 4, 08:56 1

Something for our frequent fliers to mull over during their next multi-hour flight - JD Feb 4, 08:49 8
- magnets. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:05
- as my aerospace brother said "you put a big enough engine on it, anything will fly" -- nm - colin Feb 4, 09:05 3
  - Pontiac En Fuego -- nm - Max Feb 4, 09:57
  - He plays Kerbal Space Program doesn’t he? -- nm - spamlet Feb 4, 09:14
  - Relevant image -- (pic) - JD Feb 4, 09:08 [Attachment]
- No try explaining why bicycles stay upright! -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 08:55
- I can explain - decline Feb 4, 08:51 1
  - Terrence Howard knows. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 08:55
Gizmo is okay! "Just very old" -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 08:43 7
- Awesome! -- nm - Krusty Feb 4, 09:50
- whew -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:45
- Excellent! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 4, 09:39
- Good. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:30
- :-) -- nm - mud Feb 4, 09:17
- nice. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:52
- Yay! -- nm - JD Feb 4, 08:44
Jags are going to play two home games in London next year. Six in Jacksonville. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 4, 08:36 2
- "however Khan made it clear that the ultimate goal — for the team and for Jacksonville — is to reinvigorate downtown Jacksonville." - JaxSean Feb 4, 09:28
- Thanks Brexit! -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 4, 08:37
Trump approval rating jumps to 49% - Jovian Feb 4, 08:34 8
- He was at -9 last time, which was two weeks ago. Gallup's polling is so infrequent now that it's irrelevant. - David Feb 4, 08:41 5
  - I wish I could have your optimism about this shit. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:43 4
    - This isn't optimism. It's just data study. -- nm - David Feb 4, 09:13 2
      - That's true. I wish I had your optimism about what the takeaway from these numbers should be. nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 09:17 1
        
        I actually don't have a strong opinion about what will happen next. All we know at the moment is that people really despise Trump. -- nm* - David Feb 4, 09:20
    - like seriously. -- nm - Jovian Feb 4, 08:45
- I marvel at how America hasn't hit rock bottom yet. -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 08:40 1
  - we are working on it -- nm* - Jovian Feb 4, 08:45
Behold: The Gronkiest party that's ever Gronked. -- (link) - Beaker Feb 4, 08:21 1
- I'm going to the Super Bowl! My wife's company got her tickets! -- nm - JJ Watt Feb 4, 08:32
lol. Pippy was complaining about ticket prices. Look at this. -- (link) - Spawn Feb 4, 08:18 21
- HOLY SHIT -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:46
- Do people actually sit in their seats during these concerts? -- nm - Max Feb 4, 08:29 12
  - I am always up and around, and rarely sit in my sit when I'm by myself -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:48
  - at the guns show Spawn and I went to in 2018 it was standing room just about the whole time. -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:57
  - For $3500, you can damn well bet I'll be at my seat and no one else will fuckin be there. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:33 8
    - Oh. I hadn't even thought the question on that basis. Same. If I've paid a seat, I'll be there. Though annoyingly, some of the best seats go to - JD Feb 4, 08:43 7
      - I was thinking more in terms of % of the concert spent seated vs standing. -- nm - Max Feb 4, 08:50 4
        
        Ah. Depends on the venue. Everything from 100% standing for small venues to 10-15%? seats for a converted theater that is primarily GA with a seated - JD Feb 4, 09:00
        
        Oh, gotcha. I'm at the point now where the bands I see have crowds that skew older - almost everyone in seats most of the time. nm -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:52 2
        
        They don’t want to fall and break a hip. -- nm - spamlet Feb 4, 08:54 1
        
        Damn right. I like the Beach Boys, but they ain't worth a trip to the ER. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:56
      - I was just thinking that if people aren't sitting in their actual ticketed seats and trying to get near my $3500 paying ass - - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:49
      - The Mix Islands seem to be parties unto themselves. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 08:44
  - Not typically but there can be an advantage to having a certain area of the venue reserved for you vs the tradeoff of being closer but having to live - JD Feb 4, 08:32
- That's fucking insane and why I don't do many concerts anymore. I sat 3nd row center for the GnR riot way back - ticket price was $28.50. -- (edited) - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 08:23 2
  - It's because bands used to make money other ways then. Now it's only from the road, so they have to maximize revenue. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 4, 08:24 1
    - and an act like Guns and Roses has large pool of potential buyers who barely go to any shows and have lots of disposable income - JD Feb 4, 08:26
- and they're not even on sale yet. Fan club went onsale today -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:19 3
  - The ability to sell tickets (or anything) you do not have in hand should be illegal. -- nm - Qale Feb 4, 08:24
  - $150 for straight across, far-end balcony. -- nm - Spawn Feb 4, 08:22 1
    - oh I expect them to be insane. This show is going to be a homecoming show... -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:38
ST Diet Bet reminder! This time we are running it ourselves! - Dark Callisto Feb 4, 08:17 2
- I think I may be in for this. TBD. -- nm - Shaun Feb 4, 08:40 1
  - come on! put down that Twinkie and do this! -- nm - Pippy - fruit fly collector Feb 4, 09:47
If anyone is interested, have a link to Stash. It’s a nifty little investment site I use. - Dark Callisto Feb 4, 08:01 5
- Not a fan of a monthly fee for getting such a relatively small amount back on purchases. -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 08:16 3
  - I pay $1/month. But YMMV. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 4, 08:18 2
    - It’s a neat idea for someone just starting out investing, probably. And if it works for you, that’s great. - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 08:24 1
      - And just for shits and giggles I calculated how much you’d have to spend at Amazon to end up with one whole share of AMZN -- (edited) - znufrii, human scum Feb 4, 08:44
- Cool. I'll check it out later. - Krusty Feb 4, 08:05
Soundgarden: Battle between the widow and then band is getting uglier.... -- (link) - Remlik Feb 4, 07:56 4
- I wonder if the politics of this kept them out of the Hall of Fame. -- nm - David Feb 4, 08:02 3
  - that's my guess. The hall doesn't want fighting groups anymore. The Blondie induction was ugly as were others. -- nm - Remlik Feb 4, 08:06 1
    - The Steve Miller induction was hilarious. "Your band? No! This is for all your solo achievements, Steve!" -- nm - Mop Feb 4, 08:43
  - Sounds more like something for the Country Music Hall of Fame. -- nm - con_carne Feb 4, 08:06
Word. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 4, 07:54
