Thread: interesting biblical perspective on our cultural gun fetish -- (link) - znufrii, human scum Feb 5, 08:52
Today f*cking suuuuuuuucks. - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:52 3
- i had a rock smash into my car windshield this morning, it might be cracked now. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 5, 08:55 1
  - Put some super glue in it, that will stop it from fully cracking -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 5, 13:18
- that does suck -- nm - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 08:53
I'd watch this show (Coyote and badger encounter hijinks while hunting together) -- (link*) - Beaker Feb 5, 08:44 1
- Come along, now. I'll need to eat you later. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 08:56
heh, a local radio show (93.1) here has banned Madonna songs from his show for calling Canada boring -- (link) - Beaker Feb 5, 08:42 4
- Madonna Shocks Seven -- nm - Perfect Onion Headlines Feb 5, 08:45
- BURN HER! BURN THE WITCH! Or at least write her a strongly worded letter. Then burn that. Wouldn't want to hurt her feelings. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 08:45
- Compared to New York? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:44 1
  - New York is definitely not boring. You could get shot, mugged, party all night, and be bankrupted in the morning by healthcare costs. Helluva place. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:50
That 4-way NBA deal is horrible for Houston. Yeah, winning in the short term, without a true center is fine, but not advancing in the WC playoffs -- (edited) - Flavorize Feb 5, 08:41
So maybe Pelosi is a strategic genius after all. No one is talking about his speech last night. Just about her tearing it up. - Jovian Feb 5, 08:35 17
- It's red meat for the broken glass voters on one side and bulletin board material for those on the other. Net value: ASCII shrug. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:46
- Someone posted she should get 3 years in jail for destroying government documents -- nm - Flavorize Feb 5, 08:42 1
  - Yea that'd be Turning Point scumbag Charlie Kirk -- nm - Jovian Feb 5, 08:44
- (tactical) -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 08:37 4
  - Logistical? -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:40 3
    - Mystical? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:41 2
      - Physical -- nm - Roger More Feb 5, 08:41 1
        
        Sapphistical! -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:42
- I mean, she's always after viral moments. And in case no one has noticed, she is actually pretty good at them. -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 08:37
- I was a bit surprised that ST thought it a bad idea. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:37 7
  - I thought it was brilliant (in terms of political gamesmanship). And probably necessary in light of that SOTU. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 5, 08:44
  - I saw it live and after list -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:39 3
    - oops ..after listening to an hour and whatever of appalling lie after lie it was like "YES!" -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:40
    - Settle down, Francis. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:39 1
      - ha! you knew that's my middle name didnt you -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:41
  - I saw it live and after list -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:39
  - I saw it live and after list -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:39
Memo to Self: get some storm beers tonight -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:26
Are there two ways to pronounce homogeneous? - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:25 3
- Yes, there's the right way, and the way everyone says it. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:31 2
  - The second way I listed is technically the right way, right? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:47 1
    - Yes, contrast with heterogeneous. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:54
effin' renters. My newest applicant... ST Poll: How many evictions has she had? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:13 13
- 4 1/2. That one was totally not her fault so it only counts half. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:15 2
  - Actually, 3 is all I found before I stopped looking so there could be more. And yes, she claimed 2 of those were not her fault. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:17 1
    - the rentor said "pets allowed" so the beastiality wasn't really her fault -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:19
- Oh Jeebus I will stop this, 3. - Spawn Feb 5, 08:15 6
  - respect her honesty! -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:17 5
    - Uhm, she did not mention them until I brought them up later. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:17 4
      - everyone deserves a fourth chance, Spawn -- nm - decline Feb 5, 08:18 3
        
        Triple her security deposit and/or ask for 4 months worth of rent, in advance -- nm - Flavorize reading CNN Feb 5, 08:20 2
        
        Yeah, she was begging me to *lower* the normal SD as she is nearly broke. - Spawn Feb 5, 08:22
        
        heh -- nm - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 08:21

Spotify is buying The Ringer. Ohhhhkaaayyy... -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:09 38
- Is this part of their podcasting play? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:12 37
  - I'm old. I really don't get podcasting. - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:22 32
    - Recorded episodes of talk radio. Period. -- nm - Mop Feb 5, 08:44 1
      - If I'm listening to something, it's music. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:50
    - I actually have been to the recording of a couple. - Spawn Feb 5, 08:33 1
      - SM is hooked, I mean obsessed with My Favorite Murder - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 08:50
    - They've been around since the 90s... take their name from the old iPod -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 08:32
    - They are very specialized. Listening to some that are specific to a passion of yours, instead of recommended ones, by others, is key. -- nm - Flavorize Feb 5, 08:31
    - I listen to podcasts all day, I love them. I enjoy a good historical story, funny stories and crime stories to name a few. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 5, 08:30 10
      - Yup. I have them on in my office all day. A mix of news, tech, and other stuff. - spamlet Feb 5, 08:38
      - This is where I'm at. Sadly, most music podcasts can't actually play the music because it runs afoul of fair use. -- nm - con_carne Feb 5, 08:34 1
        
        Hmmm... I didn't think of that issue with the music -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 08:52
      - I like some of the YouTube shows that do historical battles. I need the images to keep my attention -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:33 4
        
        Those are awesome! I get where you're coming from but if the narrator isn't dry and adds some wit the podcasts can suck you in. - Krusty Feb 5, 08:39
        
        I could see listening while commuting, maybe. But yeah, if I am just sitting, there better be a screen. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:34 2
        
        I'm walking and listening or commuting and listening but I'll throw them on while I clean, cook, shower, etc. -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 08:40
        
        yep -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:38
      - True crime is my favorite -- nm - decline Feb 5, 08:31 1
        
        That's easily the subject I listen to the most followed by history and sports. My favorite is still Doug Loves Movies which is a comedy game show -- nm - Krusty Feb 5, 08:32
    - I love them, but that's me. - Dark Callisto Feb 5, 08:27 1
      - *Fist Bump* This Week In Tech was my gateway but I love podcasts and I think it could be their multitasking friendliness - JD Feb 5, 08:42
    - I "get" it, but it doesn't appeal to me; when I had a long bus commute it was OK, but that was a decade ago. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:26 2
      - I mean, yeah, I *get* it. They just are not even on my radar for anything. -- nm - JaxSean Feb 5, 08:29
      - Now, vlogs and internet shows, that's another kettle of surstromming -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:28
    - Like anything with a billion of them, some are great, some are awful. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:26
    - I'm not a music guy so they're great for me on my nightly walk with my dog -- nm - decline Feb 5, 08:25 1
      - yeah, some on ST like them for commutes -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:26
    - I like the short ones. Slow News Day on The Ringer I find entertaining and I like TSG and Sal guessing the lines; but otherwise I'm with you - Beaker Feb 5, 08:25
    - yeah I still don't know what they are and where they are. - mud Feb 5, 08:24 4
      - You can listen to them in Spotify. They're like old radio shows. You can search by topic and you'll find hundreds of shows. - Krusty Feb 5, 08:35
      - Some of them are literally just public radio shows you can download - Reagen Feb 5, 08:28 2
        
        you should do one, with all the work you did on Canadian ♫ those 2 or 3 weeks !! -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:33 1
        
        I'm not nearly knowledgable enough for that. I do think BOP's MMQB would have worked as one though. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:34
    - They seem to be great for putting me to sleep. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:23
  - To me that is the only thing that makes sense -- nm - JD Feb 5, 08:12
  - Yes. They’re buying Simmons. -- nm - spamlet Feb 5, 08:12 2
    - That's what they think! Well this sportswriter can't be b... Oh, wow that's a lot of zeros. -- nm - Bill Simmons Feb 5, 08:39
    - I was thinking that he might have one of the most Internet careers ever which made me look up his history which is crazier than I knew - JD Feb 5, 08:26
Received a call on my office phone with the ID of "GA ST GOVT." Why is Strongbad pranking me? -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:07 1
- If the App don't fit, you must acquit -- nm - budice Feb 5, 08:11
Doug Jones is a yes - mud Feb 5, 08:03 11
- With Collins a no, it'll take a minor miracle to get a conviction of any sort -- nm - budice Feb 5, 08:12 4
  - Considering it takes 2/3, it would be a much bigger miracle than that. -- nm - Ender Feb 5, 08:21 2
    - We. Are. Due. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:23 1
      - ~ all we need is a ... ~ -- (link) - mud Feb 5, 08:26 [youtube]
  - of course. We're merely concerned with future use of the term "bipartisan" at this point. -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:16
- Tell me ... is he gangly? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:12 2
  - not that one, bub! :-] -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:13
  - :) Bonus points if he wears the Abe Sapien outfit. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:13
- But Manchin is proposing censure, right? So probably no. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:07 2
  - hmph -- nm - mud Feb 5, 08:10 1
    - At least he was earlier in the week. Hopefully still a maybe. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:11
Done with jury duty for 3 years. Was impaneled, but released. Not questioned or voir dired. -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 07:55 12
- I'll never forget the first time my voir got dired, I'll tell you that -- nm - prayformojo Feb 5, 08:03
- I'm 2-for-2 on jury duty which must be a crazy low percentage. Sat on cases both times, both were a couple of days long. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 5, 08:02 7
  - I'm 0/3. Excused from one because I was away at college, my group wasn't called to report for the other two. -- nm - Ender Feb 5, 08:23
  - I’ve only been called twice both within six months of one another (Fed and state). Never got on jury for Fed but was juried for state. -- nm* - spamlet Feb 5, 08:11
  - I'm 0 for not sure, 8 to 10? Somewhere in that range? -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:11 3
    - "Your honor, I can spot a guilty person like *that*" -- nm - Baron on the Stand Feb 5, 08:13 2
      - That's not enough. You need to find a reason for the prosecutor to hate you too. - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:27 1
        
        *points to the prosecutor*... HE IS GUILTY!!! -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:32
  - "As an engineer I'm an expert in all disciplines..." -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 08:05
- They don’t know what they’re missing. -- nm - spamlet Feb 5, 07:58 2
  - :) -- nm - Diva Feb 5, 08:03
  - On the contrary, those lawyers knew she wouldn't take any guff. -- nm - Beron Cherry Feb 5, 08:00
Pete Rose asks MLB for reinstatement, cites no punishment for Astros players for electronic signs-stealing. -- (link) - budice Feb 5, 07:55

- Sir, why don't you take a seat over here. -- nm - Chris Hansen Feb 5, 08:47
- way LIR - my single My Chemical Romance ticket was $ 256 after taxes, fees, service charge and FU cause we can Ticket Master $. - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 08:12 4
  - and Yay!....uh wow - JD Feb 5, 08:57
  - At least they were not $3,560 + fees. - Spawn Feb 5, 08:14 2
    - a shit ton -- nm - Pippy - Blessed Trinity Feb 5, 08:19 1
      - ummm...probably not that much more than what you paid for service fees..if they even were more - JD Feb 5, 08:46
- (quick google search) Shaun better show up with a big bow in his hair -- nm - decline Feb 5, 07:58 1
  - He always does! -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:03

- embargo lifts in a couple hours per Ed -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 08:17 2
  - I saw a tweet from him panning it. -- nm - Flavorize Feb 5, 08:21 1
    - Yep. And I saw a tweet from someone else saying that Margot was happy with the early positive reviews. Like she'd be upset by it? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 5, 08:27
- That's too bad. 2nd trailer had a vibe like, "The Professional"--Harley Quinn, protecting a kid, while doing her thing. The baby spec from SS would - Flavorize reading CNN Feb 5, 08:10
- Someone told me the first comments were positive? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 07:55 3
  - No I didn't. I said IGN has the 1st round of comments that were positive. -- nm - Remlik Feb 5, 08:11
  - Was this someone tall and bald - eag Feb 5, 07:57 1
    - I did change my mind and am seeing it Friday night. The comfort of Dolby Cinema might offset some pain. -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 08:08
TSLA is now back to where it was on Monday. -- nm - Reagen Feb 5, 07:49 1
- Not in my port? -- nm - Spawn Feb 5, 07:50
Reagen I figured you would enjoy that Simpsons related link. No reaction? -- nm - mud Feb 5, 07:49 1
- I mean it's all said in the story - Reagen Feb 5, 07:51
March 5 = Castlevania’s third season will hit Netflix. -- nm - Beaker Feb 5, 07:43 1

  - If he is gonna give a medal of honor to Rush then give one to Pete -- nm - eag Feb 5, 07:51 1
