  - I don’t know since I’m not getting a payment and they have my information already. Try going through it and see what happens. -- nm - spamlet Apr 10, 09:40

    - But the point is to help people who need it *now* isn't it? -- nm - ty97 Apr 10, 09:39 2
      - Not as much as the unemployment expansion. This is more about providing a broad-based economic stimulus - znufrii Apr 10, 09:41

- :( -- nm - prayformojo Apr 10, 09:21
- ugh, good thoughts for you guys -- nm - Beaker Apr 10, 09:20
- sorry to hear this -- nm - Pippy-with a cotton tail Apr 10, 09:19
- Sucks, man. Was 10 years low on the seniority level there? - GregW Apr 10, 09:19 1
  - Not really. But the station had next to no air talent left to run all 4 stations. This isn't a surprise, just unpleasant. - TWuG Apr 10, 09:30
- Sorry man. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:18

Which countries and states have lockdown orders with an end date furthest in the future? (this could be a quiz but I don't have the answers) -- nm - Max Apr 10, 08:55 6
- I’m just assuming anyone who is pretending this has a known end date is full of shit. -- nm - znufrii Apr 10, 09:14 2
  - I didn't mean predicted 'end' of the crisis, I meant dates that have been specified in orders. -- nm - Max Apr 10, 09:24 1
    - I know what you meant, just making a tangential general statement as to their utility. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 10, 09:26

  - Virginia looks like the only state with an end date in June. -- (link) - Max Apr 10, 09:04 1
    - gov also said "or until further notice" so it was put out as being very flexible. -- nm - colin Apr 10, 09:11

Newegg's Xbox Live/Ultimate Game Pass deal is back. Buy 3 months for $40, get 3 more months for free. -- (link) - Mop Apr 10, 08:25 1
- Amazon has this as well, for $45, but it says you can only get 1 bonus per account/household. Is this any different? - JaxSean Apr 10, 08:51
LYC all my watch batteries are flat so I'm wearing my wind up Snoopy watch I had as a kid. -- nm - LMS Apr 10, 07:53 11
- Impressive. -- nm - loosilu Apr 10, 07:56

One thing I've learned working from home: I need to invest in a better office chair. -- nm - Dano Apr 10, 07:40 6
- I had weird back and hip pains within *days*. - Reagen Apr 10, 07:42 1
  - My back has definitely been affected. -- nm - Dano Apr 10, 07:46
- Yup -- nm - Mop Apr 10, 07:40

- yup -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 10, 07:40
Nice to see these vendors step up but if this doesn't highlight the need for better government tech infrastructure... -- (link) - oblique Apr 10, 07:39 1
- That’s assuming government wants to solve a problem. - Will Hunting Apr 10, 07:45
We watched Charlie's Angels last night. It was fine. It's not memorable or anything but it's fine as a fun action movie. -- nm* - Shaun Apr 10, 07:21 5
- I am binging Love is Blind on Netflix - divine trash TV -- nm - Pippy-with a cotton tail Apr 10, 09:35
- It was a perfect popcorn movie. The only lasting result was I like one of the actresses now. -- nm - Spawn Apr 10, 09:20
- Yep, surprising cameo at the end. -- nm - LMS Apr 10, 07:54
- We watched Molly's Game on Netflix last night. B+ -- nm - oblique Apr 10, 07:27
- Saw it last week, and had the same reaction. -- nm - MDH Apr 10, 07:24
If we want to talk about surprise posts: someone uploaded the long rumored proshot version of Madonna's Blond Ambition Tour from New Jersey -- (link) - MDH Apr 10, 07:21 [youtube]
Watched Parasite last night. Didn't love or hate it but I am astounded it got universally adopted enough to win Best Picture. - Volnelk Apr 10, 07:15 4
- Yeah. I had a similar reaction. It was good, very different but it wasn't like OMGWTFBBQ -- nm - oblique Apr 10, 07:20 3
  - i enjoyed it, but as i watched more about how the movie used position, color, etc.. it's really incredible visually. so detailed. -- nm - colin Apr 10, 08:51
  - It’s no Green Book -- nm - Roger More Apr 10, 08:41 1
    - I hate you -- nm - JackDawson Apr 10, 09:19
I think I found it... -- (link) - Krusty Apr 10, 07:12 [youtube] 2
- Much like any service, you can probably find just about anything pirated you want if you search hard enough -- nm - oblique Apr 10, 07:19
- interesting -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 10, 07:15
Diva: I did a search on YouTube but don't see it. -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 07:06 11
- Someone uploaded all of Dear Evan Hansen (with Platt) as well -- nm - MDH Apr 10, 07:15 1
  - ohhh -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 10, 07:40
- Me neither. -- nm - mara Apr 10, 07:10
- How did you learn about it? Is there another site with info that you would feel comfortable linking? -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 07:07 2
  - It was on my friend's FB. I just went back there and the video has been taken down. -- nm* - Diva Apr 10, 07:11 1
    - Thanks for checking. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 07:14
- I watched 10 minutes of it this morning. -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 07:07 4
  - then had to go to work. -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 07:07 3
    - All I see is the soundtrack and short videos. :-( -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 07:10 2
      - it's been taken down. Someone name Liz something had put it up and Youtube said it has been there for 7 days. -- nm - Diva Apr 10, 07:12 1
        
        Thanks! I think I found a different upload of it. :-) It looks like it's from a cell phone. -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 07:14
LIR: Yes, they are open. I went with the Sage. -- nm - oblique Apr 10, 07:04 2
- I luuuuurve sage. That's going to be pretty in the bathroom. :) -- nm* - Diva Apr 10, 07:17 1
  - Yeah, great choice for a bathroom. I'm a big fan of the color as well. -- nm - Krusty Apr 10, 07:19
No. No more WWE rejects on AEW!! -- nm - Qale Apr 10, 06:56 5
- I would look at them less as WWE rejects and rather people who reject WWE. - Dark Callisto Apr 10, 07:19 4
  - I was being melodramatic. Seriously though, if they keep hiring those guys, when are we ever going to see new talent get grown? -- nm - Qale Apr 10, 08:27 3
    - They’ve been around 6 months and want to make it many more. They’ll grow new talent when they have a deep foundation. - Will Hunting Apr 10, 08:57 2
      - They’re contracted for 4 years. This isn’t about sticking around, this is about making sure everyone still knows they are the not-WWE. - Qale Apr 10, 09:26 1
        
        FWIW, literally the first thing Cody said on Being the Elite was... - David Apr 10, 09:30
Marlowe, buy the PS4. Buy some cheap top tier exclusives. Enjoy! -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 06:47 18
- *sigh* Yeah. - Marlowe Apr 10, 07:02 3
  - Go for it! If you tell me your preferred genre/s, I can recommend some games, if you like. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:06 2
    - Well, two of my favorite games of the recent past in Xbox were The Witcher 3 and AC: Odyssey, so I guess open-world RPG-ish adventure? (NM) - Marlowe Apr 10, 07:20 1
      - So you'd want to get Horizon Zero Dawn and God of War. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:22
- i guess I am stuck on the question of do I wait for ps5? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 10, 06:59 13
  - sub question, is it worth the extra for a pro? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 10, 08:42
  - Are you planning on getting it launch day? If not, I'd say get a PS4 now and enjoy the games it already has. - Shaun Apr 10, 07:04 11
    - hmm, not a bad idea, also so many ps4 games I wanna play -- (edited) - tRuMaN Apr 10, 07:10 10
      - Solid list to start with. Also, in case it's not well known here, the FF7R is Part 1. It's not the full story. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:18 9
        
        oh i know about that. will there be a special edition bundle for it? -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 10, 07:20 8
        
        Who knows even when Part 2 will even be announced, let alone released. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:23 7
        
        so then I should get this. -- (link) - tRuMaN Apr 10, 07:42 6
        
        This would have been a great bundle for me, but the one on sale is GT Sport (which is fine, I like driving games), Death Stranding (meh) and - Marlowe Apr 10, 07:48 4
        
        To the IM, that Metacritic's game of the decade. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:58 3
        
        It's more a general statement that I don't do Horror. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 10, 08:13 2
        
        I wouldn't necessarily classify it as a horror game, if that makes sense. It's more like survival stealth. - Shaun Apr 10, 08:49 1
        
        Fwiw, I typically don't do horror games either. Resident Evil? Hell no. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 09:02
        
        Yup. That's one hell of a starter pack. -- nm - Shaun Apr 10, 07:46
