- It's the right move, and they already got my $20. As an aside, almost all UHD Disney titles on Vudu are $24.99. This was one was just $19.99. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:36
According to some Sporcle quiz, the ten countries with multiple time zones ... Go! -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:33 27
- France. If Sporcle is going to say stuff like "France borders Brazil because of French Guiana", they have to be consistent! -- nm - Roger More Mar 20, 11:54

- hell yeah. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 11:42
- agreed -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:31 1
  - *nods* -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:37
- WTF does white bread even exist? Eat whole wheat, at least. -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 11:28 4
  - French toast -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:31
  - I like honey wheat -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:30
  - I don't make Coke floats with Pepsi, and I don't make garlic toast with whole wheat. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 11:30
  - it's hard to make a nice brioche with whole wheat flour.. it's just too funky. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:29
- Rye bread > all bread -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:27 15
  - blech. -- nm - Diva Mar 20, 11:43 1
    - GGGGGAAAAASSSSSSPPPPPP -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:44
  - Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:31 1
    - Cash me outside -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:44
  - Good rye, yes. But it also seems to be more variable than others. -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 11:31 1
    - This is fair, you need a dependable rye -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:33
  - Rye is nowhere near as good as sourdough -- nm* - zork Mar 20, 11:30 2
    - Sourdough is good stuff, I won't knock it! -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:39
    - I haven't had sourdough in a while but it's a very good choice -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 11:32
  - I can't stand rye bread. Pastrami on Italian bread is so much better. - Krusty Mar 20, 11:29 5
    - when you are from san Francisco, sour dough *is* bread and yes I love my reubens on sourdough too -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 20, 11:38
    - Winnipeg rye bread >>>>> rye bread -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 11:32 1
      - First I've heard of it -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:33
    - GGGGGAAAAASSSSSSPPPPPP -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:30 1
      - I tried it a couple of times and wasn't a fan. Italian bread is the best for everything! -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 11:31
- i'm down with this opinion, unless it's a really solid italian loaf. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:27 2
  - Italian bread is my favorite but as for sliced bread potato is where it's at for me. -- nm - Krusty Mar 20, 11:33
  - This -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 11:31
Espn is going to air Wrestlemania’s 30, 32, and 35 to fill programming space in the next few days. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 20, 11:15 1
- Hmm, that's really good news for the WWE. It would hint that Disney's at least contemplating a content purchase. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:19
Starting to look like IL is going to lock down starting Saturday. Announcement pending 3pm -- (link) - oblique Mar 20, 11:10 38
- Still no idea how this is different than the current situation. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 11:17 14
  - For our purposes, it shuts down additional non-essential business and, in theory, adds enforcement -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:27
  - One more question out of you, bub, and you go into the lockbox. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 11:20
  - I would hope they make it crystal clear but to me it means that I stay home. Right now I'm at work because there isn't a lockdown. -- nm - oblique Mar 20, 11:19 10
    - I wonder if this means restaurant pick up and delivery has to stop? -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 11:41 2
      - That would be something, as not even Italy is doing that -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:44
      - It did not in Cali and won't in NYC -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 11:42
    - This is probably the answer. People who are still working in the office have to stop going in. -- nm - pmb Mar 20, 11:27
    - I am going to work even if there is a lockdown. I made the office closed to the public as of this past Monday. There are only two of us here in - Spawn Mar 20, 11:23 2
      - yeah, my office is moving to WFH Monday, but either I or my partner have to be physically here in the office for various reasons. We're switching -- (edited) - decline Mar 20, 11:31 1
        
        I could see us switch off a few days for a break but there is just too much to do not to be here. - Spawn Mar 20, 11:33
    - This is what I'm hoping for Florda. MrsJax's employer won't stop making them go to work sans that order. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:20 2
      - *ding* -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 11:33
      - I gave my bosses 3 days to make that step...they didn't. So I left yesterday. If everyone's essential, no one's essential. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 20, 11:22
  - Because now they *really* mean it!!! -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 11:18
- It's truly remarkable that most states haven't done this already. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:13 21
  - So that would make it California, New York, and Illinois. 3 Democratic Gov states, right? -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:18 11
    - Depending on whether we're just quibbling over terminology here, PA probably counts, too, no? -- nm - znufrii Mar 20, 11:29 6
      - Has PA ordered a state-wide lockdown? That's kind of what I'm asking - I thought only those 2 so far, then 3 including IL -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:33 5
        
        From all accounts, Florida is operating almost normal? Some but not really great restrictions? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:43 2
        
        Yes -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:44 1
        
        I take it that everyone is assumed to be about to die soon anyway due to age, guns, or drugs -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:46
        
        not as such, that I've seen, but all "non-life sustaining business" are required to close as of today. You're still allowed to leave the house if you need to, though. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 20, 11:38 1
        
        In my mind, I'm putting California and NY (an IL soon) into the same category Italy is. Currently, other states aren't "officially ordered" to close. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:41
    - didn't GA just announce? EDIT: i was wrong, just TX... -- nm* - colin Mar 20, 11:28 3
      - GA's entire state senate is in quarantine, so you would think they might. -- nm* - Spawn Mar 20, 11:29
      - and TX? -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:28 1
        
        I don't think this is any different than a lot of other states (like FL) have now. Still no gatherings of 10 or more, food open, etc. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 20, 11:34
  - WV claimed they had zero cases until a day or two ago.. you really think they're going to lock down? -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:13 8
    - If they're smart, yes. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:14 7
      - Federalism. Not a suicide pact! -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:22 3
        
        Randomly, I just used the same phrase with Kim a moment ago. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:29 2
        
        brilliant minds -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:32 1
        
        Righteously furious is how I'd describe it. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:35
      - ah, we've found the key issue. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:14 1
        
        Heh. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:15
      - So, no. -- nm - TWuG Mar 20, 11:14
- yeah, heard that from 2 different sources. -- nm - TWuG Mar 20, 11:12
local transit has 3 drivers with it now, a friend who commutes from an island brings a sleeping bag to work, if ferry crew gets it, no more ferry back -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 20, 11:09 1
- buses now only open back doors, no more front entry, no fare collection -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 20, 11:10

MANDALORIAN season 2. Rosario Dawson cast as Ahsoka. -- nm - Peglegpete Mar 20, 11:04 2
- Recently drive two different people who do special effects for that -- nm - zork Mar 20, 11:29
- I find her immensely watchable in Briarpatch but the show is like a dull Twin Peaks that I can't find connection with. -- nm - Max Mar 20, 11:19
From B2: Not in person. Synched streaming would be the offer - JD Mar 20, 11:03 [Backboard]
Repost for the (largely Canadian) day walkers. -- (link) - Spawn Mar 20, 11:01 [Backboard] 1
- You are supposed to go back in time to tell yourself. You've gotta fire yourself for not doing that. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 11:03
PMB, Fauci's hopefully going to write one of the most fascinating tell-alls ever in a few years. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:01 1

Gas is down to 71.9/L here, and there's a place offering 66.6 paying with cash. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 10:56 3
- It was 1.179 here yesterday when my truck wouldn't start. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 11:00 1
  - (An escape is not really a truck, but I like to pretend it is.) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 11:00
- It was 90.7 yesterday, but I haven't been out or heard about what it is today. -- nm - Shaun Mar 20, 10:59
I’ve been lukewarm on Cuomo (IMO he governed from the center for years because he thought he’d be President), but he’s been pretty great here. -- nm - Tim Mar 20, 10:55 8
- (I voted for Zephyr Teachout in 2014 and Cynthia Nixon in 2018 in the primary, both of whom forced him to move left,) -- nm - Tim Mar 20, 11:06 4
  - Zephyr Teachout's the most ridiculous name this side of Larry Brilliant. -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:10 3
    - Hold my prize -- nm - Reality Winner Mar 20, 11:27
    - Where does Tokyo Sexwhale land on that scale? -- nm - Beryllium Mar 20, 11:12 1
      - No fake names, bery! -- nm - David Mar 20, 11:19
- Its what a real leader sounds like. - Jovian Mar 20, 11:02
- It circles back to the point I was making on b2. A politician generally deals with politics. In a crisis, they must actually lead. - David Mar 20, 10:57 1
  - And unfortunately most governments to do things have to run through the center. I get being pissed he hasn't pushed harder for liberal policies but I - JackDawson Mar 20, 10:59
MLB Trivia #ChrisSale edition: How many pitchers that have had TJ surgery have made the HoF? -- nm - spamlet Mar 20, 10:53 3

  - *ding* - spamlet Mar 20, 10:57
So we are 100% passing China...what, 4/1? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 10:53 11
- We're the best around, nobody's ever gonna take us down -- nm - Strongbad Mar 20, 10:55 3
  - we just need to ALSO stop reporting numbers, then we'll never have any new cases. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:21 2
    - Someone's angling for a job with the CDC. -- nm - Reagen Mar 20, 11:23 1
      - i think if i go on twitter and say enough times i'm in charge of the CDC, i just get to be. -- nm - colin Mar 20, 11:25
- Will it take that long? -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 10:55 5
  - Doubling every four days gets you to 60K by 3/28 -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 10:55 4
    - I think that is conservative. -- nm - Spawn Mar 20, 10:57 3
      - Well, maybe once California actually gets its shit together and tests the climb will be faster? -- nm - JackDawson Mar 20, 11:00
      - Even my most optimistic calcs had us at 80k by next Friday. It's probably going to be over 100k, presuming that we're honest about results. -- nm - David Mar 20, 10:59
      - Dawson is always so conservative -- nm - ty97 Mar 20, 10:58
