*opens Twitter to find out info about Newman* - spamlet Feb 17, 18:53 5
- Yep, it's an utter tire fire of ads, bots, and predators latching onto the keyword ... mixed in with genuine concern. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 18:59 4
  - Then I see someone named Jake Paul post some stupid shit and Twitter is lighting his stupid ass up and it gives me hope. - Bacon Feb 17, 19:27
  - I see a ton of bots spewing sewage. When you see hundreds of follows and 20 or less followers that screams BOT! -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 19:20 1
    - I'm not a bot. I'm a human male! - Krusty Feb 17, 19:51

my mother just made herself an americano with a shot of espresso, cold tap water, and putting the whole thing in the microwave. I'm horrified. -- nm - mafic Feb 17, 18:18 9
- The only good Americano is made from Campari, sweet vermouth and soda with a slice of orange -- nm - Roger More Feb 17, 19:37 2
  - I have a friend with a coffee shop in Vancouver who won't make them. he makes filter/pourovers for anyone who asks instead. tells them first. - mafic Feb 17, 19:50 1

- What are the terms on the invoice? - Mr. Havens Feb 17, 19:41
- When it's over with I am going to ask you some questions about the baseboard removal. We want to do the same in a month or two. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 17:23 7
  - I think I may try to do it myself. should be fine. right?? just get a multimeter and call it a day? - amanda Feb 17, 17:25 6
    - :) the reason I don't want to do it. It's most likely 220 not 110 first. Second you need to take the wires and - Bacon Feb 17, 17:28 5
      - I would pull them out, I think. Isn't that the smart thing? -- nm - amanda Feb 17, 17:33 4

        The power is already there and we do need a heat source. I just hate baseboards as they take up an entire wall. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 17:34

- please video the payment & get a signed reciept if you are giving him cash -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 17, 17:19

- My sports chat group is discussing the use of deisgniated 'openers' since the pitcher will be ejected -- nm - JD Feb 17, 17:03 1
  - Smart—also, Astros batters were hit 66 times last year...and additional 17 bops seems easy...unless Manfred comes down hard on teams/pitchers -- nm - Flavorize— Feb 17, 17:07
- I can see once per initial series, vs every team,question comes from retaliation plunks...which could lead to more plunking. If a game is a blowout. - Flavorize— Feb 17, 17:01
- Under -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 16:55

      - That’s not good. That’s the death protocol. - spamlet Feb 17, 17:26
      - Yeah, the more they are talking about it the worse it sounds. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 17:20 1
        
        Jeff Gordon looked like a ghost. -- nm - Remlik Feb 17, 17:22
  - I don't understand a sport where you can intentionally wreck a guy like that. -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:01 18
    - If you don’t want that wreck, don’t block the faster driver and just accept the 2nd or 3rd place. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 17:23 3
      - If you don't like blocking, penalize it in the rules. -- nm - Max Feb 18, 00:48
      - Meh. -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:24 1

    - What is really funny to me as someone that doesn't know shit about Nascar. Nascar drivers HATED Days of Thunder, because they said - Bacon Feb 17, 17:08 6
      - I have been to one Nascar race in person. Sears Point in California. It's a road course and that was fun in person. - Bacon Feb 17, 17:11 5
        
        See, a road course would actually be interesting. Watching cars run around in a circle, not so much. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 17:15 4
        
        Yup. Left turns for four hours is not something I find entertaining. -- nm - Krusty Feb 17, 17:34
        
        Bristol is hella fun. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 17:27
        
        On a short track it’s great. -- nm - spamlet Feb 17, 17:27
        
        Well in person the road course is harder to follow. You basically pick a spot and you see them come through and then leave your vision. - Bacon Feb 17, 17:17
    - You have to be partially crazy to drive. -- (edited) - Strongbad Feb 17, 17:05 5
      - Yep, Newman was blocking the faster car. It’s his ‘fault’ and his decision to block. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 17:22
      - He hit the guy's car *three* times. -- nm - David Feb 17, 17:05 3
        
        He was faster as the draftee and Newman blocked him. - spamlet Feb 17, 17:13
        
        Yeah. Happens... 5000 times a race? -- nm - Strongbad Feb 17, 17:07
        
        Only because the first two didn't wreck him. -- nm - The Dirty Driver Feb 17, 17:06

As a person that never watches Nascar, seeing lapse chewed up at the end of the race under a caution is lame lame lame shit. -- nm - Bacon Feb 17, 16:12 7
