      - nope. i think this is more migraine then sinus. - tRuMaN Feb 17, 08:02 1
        
        Sorry, man. I have had a bad enough headache before that I didnt realize that my sinuses had also started in. Only realizing when the drainage ... - Spawn Feb 17, 08:04
SpaceX launch this morning. Looks like they failed to recover the booster. Would have been recovery #40. -- nm* - TWuG Feb 17, 07:56 2

  - maybe it was a gremlin -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 17, 08:03
"The Cleveland Cavaliers and John Beilein have discussed the possibility of the coach stepping down before the end of the All-Star break" -- nm - David Feb 17, 07:55 1
- Ever since LeBron left. -- nm - budice Feb 17, 08:01
Finished my Tony Stark saga rewatch last night. A+ (of course). It will really be interesting to see how Marvel does moving forward. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 07:24
For those of you following along, Biffy Clyro posted a teaser video this morning. Still no other updates. -- (link) - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:18 3
- I’m assuming that’s the same shade of blue? -- nm - spamlet Feb 17, 07:20 2
  - I believe so, yes. Fun sidenote: - JaxSean Feb 17, 07:22 1
    - Nice. -- nm - spamlet Feb 17, 07:26
decline/Shaun: Control is great. Reminds me a lot of Bioshock. - Strongbad Feb 17, 07:17 3
- It's got a little Silent Hill thrown in too. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 07:23 1
  - ...the most Hitchcockian video game I have ever seen -- nm - SyrDragon Feb 17, 07:30
- Nice. It's on my list. I finally started the 2nd Batman Telltale game on the weekend. Only thru Episode 1, but it's great so far. - Shaun Feb 17, 07:20
I'm cleaning out the DVR and watching the Jeopardy GOAT stuff --- I'm most struck by how quickly they do the combo categories -- no real spoils - Will Hunting Feb 17, 07:12 1
- Yeah, those fall into the brain teaser realm, but they're fun. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 07:42
Dreams, the remarkable sandbox PS4 game, has allowed some talented folks to make a Fallout 4 game. -- (link) - Qale Feb 17, 07:03 5
- Or... just buy Fallout 4. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 07:09 4
  - I think this is more of a shock of what Dreams is capable of. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 07:46 1
    - Dream big. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 07:54
  - Dreams version is probably a lot less buggy though! -- nm - Shaun Feb 17, 07:18 1
    - [everybody hated that] -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 07:45
Meanwhile I have an indelible Return of the Mack ear worm - 72 hours and counting. If I say “you lied to me” in court Wednesday it could be...bad -- nm - JackDawson Feb 17, 07:00 5

VA Senate fails to pass assault weapons ban -- (link) - spamlet Feb 17, 06:55
I started Bad Blood (the Theranos book) this weekend. As bad as you thought the company was, it's actually worse. - Beron Cherry Feb 17, 06:47 1
- Fake til you make it is accepted in Silicon Valley tech culture, but not acceptable healthcare practice. Theranos needed to act more like the latter - rollo Feb 17, 07:51

We really really need to stop buying the woe is democrats they don’t have a good candidate narrative right now - JackDawson Feb 17, 06:23 22
- The plus side of our toxic information ecosystem is if you don't like a particular narrative, just ignore it and pick another one! - znufrii Feb 17, 07:55
- I won't panic until polls show a Trump win the week before election day. I'm anxious enough in general to not need the borrowed trouble that worrying - TWuG Feb 17, 07:43 1
  - It's the Bridge of Spies line. "You don't seem worried." "Would it help?" -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:59
- FWIW, I'm not seeing a lot of "we hate our candidate” - Strongbad Feb 17, 07:43
- Since we're in the up for grabs stage, people are still aggressively supporting their candidate. - Dano Feb 17, 07:04 1
  - That’s not the phenomenon I’m referring to— I love the impassioned support. I’m more talking about the “woe is us our primary is dumpster fire we can’ - JackDawson Feb 17, 07:18

  - There’s things I like and hate about each, to varying degrees - like in every fucking presidential primary I’ve ever participated - I’ve never had a m - JackDawson Feb 17, 06:53 11
    - I think part of the problem is that there's this undertone of "he's gonna win again" no matter who the Dems put out there. - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 06:56 10
      - Possibly true— but that’s another stupidity. I can make persuasive arguments both ways and this far out we know little. People who like to give up the - JackDawson Feb 17, 06:58 9
        
        I think it's also important to remember that Politics Twitter is 1000x more engaged and 1000x smaller than the public at large. -- nm - Reagen Feb 17, 07:00 8
        
        And, I feel like Politics Twitter is a 50/50 split between Trumper MAGAts and angry Bernie Bros. There's very little representation for anyone else. - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 07:01 2
        
        So true -- nm - JackDawson Feb 17, 07:02 1
        
        Seriously - the next Bernie supporter I see say, "Look, I love Bernie the most, but I'll vote for whoever the Dem is" will be the first. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Feb 17, 07:04
        
        Very aware of that but to completely dismiss its influence is factually wrong (not saying that you are) -- nm - JackDawson Feb 17, 07:01 4
        
        I think it's all a little bit of transference - Reagen Feb 17, 07:07 3
        
        Good outline -- nm - Pippy-with a side eye Feb 17, 07:44
        
        Whatever the reasons (you outline plausible ones) it needs to end -- nm - JackDawson Feb 17, 07:13
        
        Though I would say that while it doesn't reflect reality of what is happening, I do think it influences the narrative and the coverage media gives, - pmb Feb 17, 07:12
- I'm feeling this narrative starting to turn, FWIW - Reagen Feb 17, 06:47 2
  - Granted what do I know I pop into and out of Twitter (ugh) but like seriously people— wasn’t I supposed to be the pessimistic one? -- nm - JackDawson Feb 17, 06:49 1
    - I was gonna say. I follow politics pretty closely, but am not on Twitter. I always feel like I never know "what we're yelling about" - con_carne Feb 17, 06:57
One of the drives on my NAS has failed. Between Carbonite, an external and the laptop's own HDD, I should probably just call it on using that - Reagen Feb 17, 04:11 10
- I have internal hdd, external hdd, and cloud for data. Key data i have 3-5 storage copies of. -- nm - budice Feb 17, 05:33
