  - Today started week 3, which in retrospect was probably 2 weeks later than it should've been. -- nm - Shaun Mar 30, 10:18 1

  - I've avoided the park for this reason (I don't know if the park is still crowded, but not chancing it) -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 10:09 2
    - I’ve still run. I see other people but not a lot and we just give each other plenty of space when we pass. -- nm - Dano Mar 30, 10:11 1

  - I just don't get why it isn't statewide. - ty97 Mar 30, 10:01 2
    - Because DeSantis is terrible at his job; and is trying to be as non-intrusive as possible while abdicating his authority. - Will Hunting Mar 30, 10:02 1
      - I've honestly been a bit OK with some of the things he was doing. - JaxSean Mar 30, 10:09

- sell sell sell .. already -- nm* - budice Mar 30, 10:04
- I doubt it? Seems many would go before them. Since stores are closed, furloughing workers is no surprise -- nm - ty97 Mar 30, 10:00

    - You had to ruin it for me! -- nm - loosilu Mar 30, 08:58

- To paraphrase West Wing: The second brick cost 'em four cents [to make]; the first brick cost 'em four hundred million dollars. -- nm* - Ba Baron Ron Ron Mar 30, 08:51
- The sets are quite remarkable. I've had a few Avengers sets over the last 2 years or so and I'm in awe that people thought these up. -- nm - Shaun Mar 30, 08:50
The bearded guy in the TD Ameritrade ads really fucking annoys me. Does he come across as insufferable to anyone else? -- nm - TWuG Mar 30, 08:44 5
