Universities begin considering the possibility of canceling in-person classes until 2021 -- (link) - Mop Apr 15, 13:01 2
- I've also seen reports of a few class action lawsuits concerning the tuition and fees people were charged for this semester -- nm - decline Apr 15, 13:08 1
  - We've frozen tuition and waved certain fees. -- nm - Mop Apr 15, 13:13
They fucking cut José. After having him fly in a pandemic to job. - Will Hunting Apr 15, 12:55 3
- It's like people being outraged by Trump's actions. Are you even surprised? - Mop Apr 15, 13:06
- I think I'm done with WWE. - David Apr 15, 13:06 1
  - Yeah, fuck them. I can watch Adam when he guests on Up Up Down Down. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 15, 13:07
Disturbing how America's death cult is so keen on triggering the Don of the Dead -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 15, 12:46 20
- a GOP dominated protest of the stay at home requirements in Michigan, led by the DeVos family, blocked traffic today - - decline Apr 15, 13:01
- Does Biden have hats yet? -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 13:00
- Between that and the protests in Michigan it’s not inconceivable that Democratic Governors have done the right thing, saved lives, and will be blamed - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:00 14
  - Yeah totally disagree here. Opening things up puts everyone at risk, not just the idiots. I think you're viewing the fact that there are idiots out - pmb Apr 15, 13:08 1
    - Well if they are indeed passing the virus to each other they’ll know that soon enough I suppose ? -- nm - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:09
  - Except that when things go wrong, Trump will just blame the Governors who re-opened the states, and his flock will agree with him. -- nm - Inigo Apr 15, 13:07 2
    - It’s never about his flock. It’s about making a point to the moronic undecideds -- nm - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:10 1
      - maybe Im crazy, but I dont think there are too many undecideds any longer. - Jovian Apr 15, 13:14
  - public sentiment is overwhelmingly on the side of staying the course. Don't confuse this for anything but a loud, tiny minority. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 13:04 5
    - That’s true and fair, my point is that he is a master of blame shifting - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:07 2
      - Yes he is. But this time, I don't think it's sticking (widely). The reality here is most people are actually following this. It's everywhere and so - pmb Apr 15, 13:11 1
        
        Good point -- nm - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:14
    - exactly. these are small scale Charlottesville's. Nothing more -- nm - Jovian Apr 15, 13:06 1
      - The GOP approach effectively says: we don’t want to do anything for you. You work or you die. Can the Dems realize this and sell it as for what it is? - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:08
  - I would agree except you open things up and employees have to go back to work. I mean, I guess they can quit but few have the option to do so. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 13:01 2
    - Yes I agree I worry about that too. It’s the same worry with repealing healthcare. Some innocents will suffer - JackDawson Apr 15, 13:04
    - Yeah, I worry if they do that my work makes us go into the office. - JaxSean Apr 15, 13:02
- good grief -- nm - mud Apr 15, 12:56
- What. The. F*ck is wrong with these people? -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 12:52 1
  - it is a cult. -- nm - Jovian Apr 15, 13:06

- the whole wing...its not that hard..bbq smoked -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 15, 13:38

- Boneless only. -- nm - kelly Apr 15, 12:52
- Flat > Drum > Boneless -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 12:46

  - This is the correct answer. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 12:58
  - Yup. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 15, 12:50

  - my vote too -- nm - Pippy-boogie bear Apr 15, 13:02
- Boneless > Drum > Flat. -- nm - Krusty Apr 15, 12:42 6
  - This -- nm - Strongbad Apr 15, 12:49 5
    - yeah, this is the obvious correct answer. everyone else is … I dunno. something wrong with you folks ... -- nm - call me ishmael Apr 15, 13:07 4
      - Without bones, they're just chicken nuggets. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 13:08 3
        
        With bones, they're bones that you just... throw away? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 15, 13:09
        
        Mmm, spicy nugs -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 13:08 1
        
        I mean, I love me some nuggets, esp. with mac n cheese, but they're not wings. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 13:09
- boneless -- nm - oblique Apr 15, 12:40
Oh, btw. Apple announced the new iPhone SE today -- (link) - oblique Apr 15, 12:35
Do not pay, a free service to avoid traffic tickets not helps process unemployment claims, apparently faster than DIY -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 15, 12:34 1

WWE cut the Kanellis’s, Mike Chioda, Primo and Epico -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 15, 12:28 4
- Is Drake Maverick new to wrestling. I totally get that it’s hard. But never say never is the industry way. They sign and fire and resign folks so much -- nm - Qale Apr 15, 12:37
- stop making up names -- nm - Beaker Apr 15, 12:28 2
  - Don't they make up *all* the names? -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 12:41 1

  - On the twitters. -- (link) - B-A-ron Apr 15, 12:59
Should I keep numbering the podcasts the way I do now, or change them to how they’re listed at the top of this board? -- (edited) - Mr. Havens Apr 15, 12:21 5
- Keep it the way it is -- nm - Krusty Apr 15, 12:26 3
  - Yes, this, I was just being silly. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 15, 12:36 2
    - It's fine how you have it up top, looks good to me, but I don't think it would work as well on the podcast apps. -- nm - Krusty Apr 15, 12:41 1
      - nor when he gets up into the 100's of episodes -- nm - decline Apr 15, 13:05
- No. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Apr 15, 12:21

Yes! I got through the IRS dialogue. Shoe money tonight! -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 11:32 8
- Nice! Had you got the message I had before that? About trying too many times? -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 11:39 7
  - Nope. I had not achieved that level of success prior to this. The one time I made it to entering bank info, it bombed. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 11:43 6
    - It is still showing me locked out. - Spawn Apr 15, 11:44 5
      - Same for me. I tried for Theresa and it gave me the first error page that they couldn't give me any info. It seems those that are told they're - Krusty Apr 15, 11:53 4
        
        Has she filed 2019 yet? Anecdotal evidence the “can’t tell you anything” means it’s based on 2018 and it’s not loaded yet. -- nm* - spamlet Apr 15, 11:57 2
        
        They really should have broken down for those that have and those that have not. Would have saved their system a lot of work. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 12:17
        
        No, we haven't filed yet for this year. Holding off because her salary increased and it would lower the check amount. -- nm* - Krusty Apr 15, 11:58
        
        I would stop for today and try again tomorrow afternoon. -- nm - Krusty Apr 15, 11:54
WWE releases Kurt Angle and Aiden English along with producers - Remlik Apr 15, 11:32 3
- Wait, they got rid of IRS too? - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:34 2
  - Ahh, David edited his post below. I thought they canned Bo Dallas -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:35 1
    - Yes, that was the first report, sorry. They haven't said anything about Axel or Dallas yet. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:36
Newsweek, shut the AC, open the windows -- (link) - zeitgeist Apr 15, 11:32 9

- I don't remember the last time I worked anywhere that the windows could be opened. -- nm - GregW Apr 15, 12:26
- In DC, I'll take my chances with AC. -- nm - loosilu Apr 15, 12:01 1
  - This is all I needed to see to know I'm not being crazy. The humidity and heat would kill us first. -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 15, 12:06
- Come July that's just not an option. -- nm - Krusty Apr 15, 12:00
- That's what environmentalists want you to believe!!! -- nm - Mop Apr 15, 11:58

  - Heh. We had our one day of Fool's Spring yesterday. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 12:10
  - Build an igloo! -- nm - Max Apr 15, 11:37
Lol French Court orders Amazon to stop shipping non essentials because of course -- nm - JackDawson Apr 15, 11:31 6
- Including dildos? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 15, 12:09 2
  - No! -- nm - the ladies of SNL Apr 15, 12:24 1
    - YOU DID THIS -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 12:27
- But in France they deem deodorant non-essential, so who are they to judge? -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 11:33
- I feel like they're doing a better job at this. Non-essential stuff gets an expected arrival of 2-3 weeks out...Essential stuff gets 1-3 days. -- nm - Flavorize Apr 15, 11:33 1
  - Why is non essential...essential? -- nm - JackDawson Apr 15, 11:59
This day gets better and better. California Climate Credit hit my electric bill. Nothing to pay this month and a $5.57 credit for next month :-) -- nm - Meg Apr 15, 11:30

Massive explosion at a paper mill in Maine -- (link*) - ty97 Apr 15, 11:14
LIR: PFF has a mock simulator--I put this in, and Kinlaw was there...but trading up only 2 spots (to 14) had the same result and didn't have to give - Flavorize Apr 15, 11:13 [Backboard] 5
- If you're going to use this, the real way to go is to trade down to #20 and then to #23 and then to #26. - David Apr 15, 11:21 4
  - Agreed--Ideally, that's the way to go for optimal drafting...but, trading UP for a certain player (as speculated by the NFL reporters tweets) - Flavorize Apr 15, 11:30 3
    - I personally like the move (up) for the Falcons, for selfish reasons...frees up a quality OT, which the Broncos badly need to run the Shurmur Offense -- nm - Flavorize Apr 15, 11:32 2
      - I give all rumors this week the same weight as the one that we were going to trade Matt Ryan for DeShaun Watson. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:38 1
        
        I see any Ryan trade rumors as ridiculous, because of his dead cap #.Falcons do need defensive help,but majority of their visits have been Edge players -- nm* - Flavorize—father of Kraken Apr 15, 12:02
Qale, that car scared me six years ago. Can't believe it lasted this long! -- nm - Meg Apr 15, 11:07 2
- I’m kind of impressed I owned something that scared you, Megs! -- nm - Qale Apr 15, 11:14 1
  - Heh, Houston traffic in general scared me, couldn't believe you were risking it in *that* ;-) -- nm - Meg Apr 15, 11:25

- Wasn't #8 already announced in their NXT CW Tournament? -- nm - Strongbad Apr 15, 12:00 1
  - Yes. Warning: This is pretty hard to watch. -- (link) - David Apr 15, 12:03
- I feel like #1 is a typo on someone's part. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:21 7
  - now we know how he got those scars. -- nm - Reagen Apr 15, 11:26
  - Holy fuck, they cut Fit Finlay and Lance Storm. - David Apr 15, 11:24 5
    - They needed to clear out a lot of producers but holy shit. AEW could make a good run with just the scraps here. Lance Storm is just mean -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:31 1
      - Pat Buck had also sold his wrestling school. He's the one who had to choke out Big Cass at his retirement show back in the fall. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:38
    - Oh, here's a good one. They had IRS on The Bump this morning and then fired him at lunch. -- nm* - David Apr 15, 11:28 2
      - Kurt Angle reportedly fired. So, this is still ongoing. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:29 1
        
        Sarah Logan cut. So much for that six-person tag match with Bianca Belair. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:43
- Heath Ledger's got kids! -- nm - pmb Apr 15, 11:21 1
  - Slater! -- nm - pmb Apr 15, 11:24
- Gallows and Anderson is a mistake. The rest are fodder. EC3 was wasted. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:13 4
  - EC3 got punished by Vince for Vince being a total moron. -- nm - David Apr 15, 11:22 3
    - I’m surprised only by Gallows and Anderson. You just gave them 1.5mil a year total. - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:33 2
      - This hints that they've screwed up their financing again and are in disastrous shape. - David Apr 15, 11:36 1
        
        Yeah, this is bad for them. - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:39
McCartney had written Hey Jude lyrics sells for $910,000 -- (link) - Peglegpete Apr 15, 11:03 6
- I would've written them up a copy for half that. -- nm - B-A-ron Apr 15, 11:04 5
  - But they would probably pay you in filthy disgusting cash. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 11:15 4
    - Hire a money launderer. Duh. -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 15, 11:16 3
      - I heard money launderers will no longer accept cash. -- nm - Spawn Apr 15, 11:16 2
        
        I can remove all those unsightly ones from your bitcoins! -- nm - Electronic money launderer Apr 15, 11:21
