CTTP roll poll: I normally pay under a dollar for a 90-day supply of a generic RX. I just had it refilled and the pharmacy doesn't know my insurance. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:28 4
- $30.00 -- nm - zunk, man of means by no means Mar 2, 07:35
- I'll go with the obligatory $312.50 ... -- nm - call me Ishmael Mar 2, 07:32

Aaaaaand we're red. -- nm - S&P 500 Mar 2, 07:22 8
- A lot of trading left today, but I'm surprised we haven't really seen a bounce yet. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:26 7
  - now try to time it! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:28 5
    - I've had a 401k for 20 years and won't be touching withdrawals for *at least* 20 more. I'm not in the least bit worried about letting it ride. -- nm* - ty97 Mar 2, 07:29 4
      - I've actually seen very little in the way of 'panic moves' in the accounts we handle -- nm - decline Mar 2, 07:38
      - I'm quite amused about my two friends who on Wednesday told me they were really worried because they'd "bought in cheap" on Tuesday. Folks - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:33 2
        
        I....don't have a financial adviser -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:36 1
        
        I wasn't referring to 401K, sorry (though probably a good idea). - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:38
  - I'm not dead yet. -- nm - Cat Mar 2, 07:27
SCOTUS To hear third challenge to entirety of Obamacare -- (link) - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:07 8
- you'll have the WH actively arguing to end the ACA completely, right before election day - with no decision until after the election, right? -- nm - decline Mar 2, 07:12 1
  - Right, something like that--it's likely for the October argument session, perhaps November but briefs due before -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:13
- I ask this in all seriousness - at what point can the court say - Turd Ferguson Mar 2, 07:12 5
  - SCOTUS already rejects to hear plenty of cases. They chose to hear this -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:16
  - As long as they keep getting challenges that would overturn it at the appeals level, they gotta take it. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:15 2
    - like with the abortion case being heard this week--it's identical to the 2016 case. They can just issue one line: "Reversed summarily in light of [Ci - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:19
    - Well, there is a summary reversal order they can employ to tell the lower courts to stop it -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:18
  - It exists but there's four of them that want it dead -- same as Roe v. Wade challenges -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:14
Re-upping from yesterday. If you want to understand how the delegate math will work, this is a good read. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:03
Well, that's a lot in one week. I have an interview for the co-op we are trying to finally move into tomorrow. And for a new job. In Mexico. On Thur - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:55 7
- Would you buy the place if you go on assignment? -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 06:57 6
  - My issue with the job is that it's not an assignment, since it's a different agency, I'd lose this spot and not have a guaranteed position (I think). - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:59 4
    - that's gonna be a tough call to make -- nm - decline Mar 2, 07:13
    - nope -- nm - Pippy -with a tin foil hat Mar 2, 07:01
    - Eww, yeah, that part stinks. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:59 1
      - yeah it's a huge resume builder--my mentor who did this exact thing but in Italy somehow just got put by Trump on the Second Circuit!?! but he was IN - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:01
  - Yeah I guess we'd sublease it. UGH. Adulting is really hard. -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:57
weekend viewing: The Magicians S3 A-. -- nm* - mud Mar 2, 06:50
Wendy's relaunches breakfast menu starting today. Wait, those are breakfast sammiches? -- (link) - Bardi Gras Mar 2, 06:45 4
- That’s why egg McMuffins are free this morning. - spamlet Mar 2, 06:47 3
  - Wife and I saw the Mcmuffin thing and were like that's look then saw you had to download the app and said fuck that shit. -- (edited) - Bacon Mar 2, 06:54 2
    - They actually have decent deals on the app. - spamlet Mar 2, 06:55 1
      - Yeah, I don't eat fast food that much anymore for more healthy choices. Aaah wifi didn't think of that. Yeah her phone has that -- nm - Bacon Mar 2, 06:57
Jack Welch has died. -- (link) - Will Hunting Mar 2, 06:42 1
- They’ve already fired 10 % of his pallbearers? -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 06:43
U.S. Stocks open higher -- (link) - oblique Mar 2, 06:40 5
- Foreign markets were higher so not a huge shock. Hope you didn’t sell some of those options this weekend. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 06:46 2
  - I haven't made any changes to my portfolio. I do need to figure out how I want to manage it. -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 06:50 1
    - Honestly, I wouldn't do a lot right now unless you have to. - spamlet Mar 2, 06:54
- It's happened a couple of times in the last five days. They still ended up red. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 06:45
- Trump !! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:44
Wow the polls DO suggest that Biden could get close to wiped out in California. That would be the end for him no? Looks like it’s Bernie’s to lose - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:30 23
- If Bernie wins, we all lose -- nm - Bacon Mar 2, 06:56 1
  - meh -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:05
- Biden going to run to the end regardless I expect. Bernie is still the odds on favorite to have a plurality of delegates. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:55
- How much of a surprise is this really? He got 46% vs. Hillary in 2016. -- nm - con_carne Mar 2, 06:44 1
  - True, but in recent polls, he's trouncing the field. - ty97 Mar 2, 06:58
- Those polls don't really factor in what happened in South Carolina. If polls were right to this point Biden wouldn't have won by 28%. - Inigo Mar 2, 06:39 1
  - Yes naturally -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:41
- I expect Bernie to win but closer than the polls suggest. I say Bernie +7. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 06:34 15
  - Seems a safe bet yeah (and guarantees no majority) -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:41 14
    - And if Biden somehow wins CA, watch out. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 06:55 13
      - I would be stunned if he won California. Absolutely stunned. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 06:56
      - At his polling level it seems close to impossible. I can't decide which of those two worries me more. -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 06:55 11
        
        Biden cracking 25% = Game On - Reagen Mar 2, 06:58 10
        
        Those Republicans are pretty much doing what Republicans always do, which is throw tantrums, and should be ignored - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:00 9
        
        I mean, I get their concern - if Bernie is the nominee and wins, their gig is up. -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 07:01 4
        
        They ‘lose’ for two years. By 2022, they rout the Democrats. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:11 3
        
        Nah. -- nm - David Mar 2, 07:28
        
        Not much different from what would happen with a Biden presidency though -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:17 1
        
        Biden isn’t a shock to the system like Bernie. Biden does lose Democratic votes as a matter of course. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 07:37
        
        To your IM: I have zero clue which candidate is the better option for that. Just no clue. -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 07:01 3
        
        I feel like predicting BP thinking about. Change my mind every 30 seconds about. Ultimately I'm slightly more concerned re: Bernie but yeah -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:03 2
        
        Part of me is thinking I'll try to just put the predicting out of my head when I vote. - ty97 Mar 2, 07:05 1
        
        Yeah, I'm definitely voting for who I like more that is left, I can't not do that. -- nm - JackDawson Mar 2, 07:07
decline, latest rumours have the PS5 reveal event coming tomorrow, March 3rd. -- nm - Shaun Mar 2, 05:54 7
- Looks like the rumored PS1-3 backwards compatibility may not be true. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 06:28 5
  - I expect most people will be fine with that. People who want to play those old games simply use PS Now -- nm - decline Mar 2, 06:38 4
    - I agree. It's a niche and a lot of people who say they want it, would never use it. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 2, 06:39 3
      - It's be cool to have, but in all honesty, I can't think of a single PS1-3 game that I'd actively fire up to play. -- nm - Shaun Mar 2, 07:06 2
        
        I bought an old PS1 to play Intelligent Qube. Love that game so much! -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 07:21
        
        yup -- nm - decline Mar 2, 07:19

If I'm interpreting his position right, it looks like an Iranian cabinet minister has died from covid-19. -- (link) - Reagen Mar 2, 05:47 6
- Don’t worry. It’s a western plot to bring down the regime. Nothing to see here. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 05:47 5
  - "who said it, Trump or an Ayatollah?" -- nm - Reagen Mar 2, 06:09
  - It's really just a cold and the media is using it to bring down Trump. -- nm - Dumb Limbaugh Mar 2, 05:52 3
    - No see, it’s a Trump plan to cancel the election. -- nm - mafic Mar 2, 06:14
    - Semi-related. I could see the shit really hitting the fan if/when people in any official capacity in the US start contracting it -- nm - oblique Mar 2, 06:06 1
      - I'm not convinced The Pope doesn't have it. - Pippy -with a tin foil hat Mar 2, 06:32
I’ve had this very mild cold for about two weeks so now of course I assume it’s CoronaVirus. -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 05:33 7
- If there is sore throat, it is unlikely not COVID-19. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 06:52
- Me too - it incubated two weeks and then SM caught it too -- nm - Pippy -with a tin foil hat Mar 2, 06:31
- It certainly could be, just not _that_ coronavirus. There's more than one. -- nm - Bardi Gras Mar 2, 05:55
- I found this helpful -- (pic) - oblique Mar 2, 05:50 [Attachment]
- Every time I sniffle, I worry if I should be self-quarantining. *sigh* -- nm - ty97 Mar 2, 05:42
- same. I contracted mine in the big city of columbus, too, so my virus is much more cosmopolitan than a simple state college virus. -- nm - amanda Mar 2, 05:38 1
  - The tricky thing is that it’s how it would most likely present in me. Just an annoyance. -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 05:53
Happy birthday, Shades/Secretstalker! Woo hoo!!! -- nm - Krusty Mar 2, 05:31

Reagen re: Hart, the only other argument I'm seeing is for MacKinnon, but assuming nothing drastic happens, it should be Leon's. -- nm* - Shaun Mar 2, 05:07

- My God, he wrecked the neighborhood. I know what I'm doing if I ever get an AirBNB -- nm - Mop Mar 1, 22:13

If you're a baseball fan, this is worth the 2 minutes. Stealing strikes -- (link) - Flavorize Mar 1, 20:56 3
- Yadi Molina is amazing at this. Saw an article that just on outside pitches alone one season, he stole like 750 strikes. nm - Turd Ferguson Mar 2, 05:50

CBS doesn’t get this whole streaming thing. For example... - Mop Mar 1, 19:58 3
