On James Corden, after the Biden interview, the musical guest is the one and the only Sporty Spice -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:38 1
- Except for that duet she did with Bryan Adams, she’s been the most “off the radar” Spice Girl, IMHO. - Mop Apr 21, 23:57
ST! What are you the deity of? - David Apr 21, 23:33 3

  - they do here too -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 23:48
- LOLOLOL -- nm - loosilu Apr 21, 23:29
We were discussing sleep today! I'm not feeling tired but it's 2:19 am. This is how it goes! I wonder when is the next tine I will hallucinate -- (edited) - loosilu Apr 21, 23:20 2
- You're not hallucinating. Its just David haunting the old world's fairgrounds -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:26 1
  - hah! I can imagine better - loosilu Apr 21, 23:29
On the James Corden show, Biden just said Julia Louis Dreyfus would be his running mate. As long as she stays in character, I'm down with that -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:12 2
- I mean ... even out of character I'm sure she'd be a fantastic Veep. - Beryllium Apr 21, 23:18 1

My conspiracy theory about Covid-19, though it is so logical I'm sure someone else has come up with it - crash davis Apr 21, 22:34 11
- So by lab Labs? -- nm - . Apr 21, 23:58
- Double Cross--It's actually bunnies. Cats+dogs get all the attention and blame--also why it started to snowball when Lent started -- nm - Flavorize Apr 21, 23:07 1
  - You may be on to something. Anya did try to warn us. -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:08
- nope, dogs get it too, don't know if they can transmit to humans though -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 22:36 7
  - the CDC links a source saying cats are the most susceptible and dogs are less affected than ferrets or cats, so not immune..but hey they're dogs - crash davis Apr 21, 22:45 1
    - and given the number of socially distant music videos I've seen lately, I think the dogs' research was funded by acoustic guitar manufacturers -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:48
  - But, dogs enjoy humans being home, and cats couldn't care less. Our cats in particular are traumatized by now. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 22:40 4
    - cats roam the neighborhood, cultivating 2nd and 3rd homes, much betterto spread the virus even as we shelter in place -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 23:51

Thing I just learned that everyone already knew: "quarantine" originates from quarantena, the Venetian language form, meaning "forty days" - Max Apr 21, 22:03 1
- another word from the Venetian language is gondola, which means "get me out of this water, the city uses it as a sewer" -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:05
A few days ago the Swiss projected an American flag on the Matterhorn for coronavirus solidarity. That is really nice, but our flag means we own it. -- (link) - crash davis Apr 21, 22:01 [Image] 13
- Perfect for Trump Matterhorn Resort with the Ivanka spa. -- nm - jnine Apr 21, 22:21 4
  - Does the Ivanka Spa have an Ivanka Sauna? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 22:36 2
    - and a weed dispensary that carries Kushner Kush? -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:37 1
      - And a water fountain that is labelled Miller Time -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 22:39
  - though I'd prefer a resort operator who could provide a decent restaurant -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:27
- That's an homage to your flag, not your actual flag. The stripes are wrong. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 22:09 7
  - Nope, we own the Matterhorn. No take backs. -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:12 6
    - Though I could be persuaded to trade it to Alberta for Banff. -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:15 5
      - Alberta already has a Matterhorn on the border with BC. -- (pic) - mafic Apr 21, 22:39 [Attachment] 4
        
        btw, I've seen Assinibone before and it is spectacular -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:14 2
        
        I spent a lot of time there as a kid. my dad used to climb with the guy that runs the lodge. -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 23:43 1
        
        that is pretty cool -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:46
        
        but they wouldn't have to share this one with BC -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 23:01
So, here's a weird credit card anecdote from today. - David Apr 21, 21:40 23
- I had something a little like that back when companies were sending you cards and convenience checks with no warning. I received a new card from - Meg Apr 21, 22:05
- I had a similar scenario when asking for a lower rate. I think their goal here is to force people off [obsolete] products for new ones - Max Apr 21, 21:51 3
  - I think this. they want to kill the card, either in general or specifically for you. -- nm - mafic Apr 21, 21:59
  - Discover was the easiest to negotiate with. They gave me 0% for a year. So they won front of the wallet. -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 21:53
  - I definitely weighed your last comment before canceling. My quick math suggested that my credit history will actually increase. - David Apr 21, 21:52
- It's possible that the fee to you went up because their cut of any SkyMiles you would use is going to be zero. - TWuG Apr 21, 21:49 1
  - That's an interesting perspective. My presumption is that SkyMiles is an ironclad contract with Delta. I'll have to research this now. -- nm - David Apr 21, 21:51
- It means they won't be getting the kickbacks that made the deal lucrative in the first place. Fish or cut bait - they choose to cut. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 21:46
- I have a feeling the same situation is going to happen with my Southwest Chase card. - Qale Apr 21, 21:45 4
  - The funny thing is I just paid an annual fee for a shittier card *yesterday* without hesitation. - David Apr 21, 21:49 1
    - Fortunately this is my newest card. I could cash in the points for gift cards to places that I also don’t want to go! -- nm - Qale Apr 21, 21:51
  - They've extended the miles that would have expired and A class and companion status, if you havethose. They know no one is accumulating any miles. -- nm - jnine Apr 21, 21:48 1
    - Hmm, they did make a big deal about my companion vouchers that I never use. I wonder if that's the hidden calculus here. -- nm - David Apr 21, 21:49
- Credit card companies lose money on people who pay off their balance monthly. This may be a way to force those folks out. -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 21:43 9
  - I guess I should add that I do have four different AmEx cards. Maybe they would rather me have less. - David Apr 21, 21:45
  - I thought you had to pay Amex off every month, you aren't supposed to carry a balance? -- nm - jnine Apr 21, 21:44 7
    - That was the case back in our day but AmEx is different due to all these punk Millennials. - David Apr 21, 21:47 5
      - I had a gold card through Fidelity, but they paid the fee and when I used it the money was automatically paid from that account. Unfortunately, - jnine Apr 21, 22:10
      - So you would have gotten away with it if it wasn't for those meddling kids? -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 21:48 3
        
        I think it's more that *they* would have gotten away with it if not for that penny-pinching old guy. -- nm - David Apr 21, 21:50 2
        
        I prefer to think of you as haunting an old World's Fair building. Keep an eye out for Great Danes. -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 21:51 1
        
        Haunting the 1964 World's Fair doesn't seem so bad. -- nm - David Apr 21, 22:42
    - You're right, I was thinking Visa and MasterCard. -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 21:46
I wonder if this is true. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 21, 21:40 6
- I saw this earlier and was going to post it, but as I lost the fb link, googled and found it dated March 6th, so why is it going around now? -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 22, 00:00
- This is the Silicon Valley area so it's possible there's a Chinese connection. They suggest he hadn't traveled recently but there could be contact. -- nm - Meg Apr 21, 22:14
- I've usually found Axios to be reliable -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 21:41 3
  - Well, that's good. A contaminated sample could have caused it. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 22:06 2
    - The full story mentions three different bodies. That tends to make lab error less likely -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 22:09 1
      - True, true. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 21, 22:35
Need help with updating a trope: the angel and the devil on my shoulders. - crash davis Apr 21, 21:38
sitwap - Fans sue MLB, teams over ticket money, ask for class action -- (link) - crash davis Apr 21, 21:18 4
- I'm not all that happy with this. I want my Dodger money back and in a class action, the lawyers take it all. I would have got it eventually. -- nm - jnine Apr 21, 21:42 1
  - That thought crossed my mind. People who don't need the cash right away should be given an option to opt out (and maybe get a discount on 2021 ticket -- nm - crash davis Apr 21, 21:45
- I’m still waiting for my NHL tickets to be refunded. -- nm - Mop Apr 21, 21:24 1

Better Call Saul season finale end of episode spoilers - David Apr 21, 21:15
God dammit, Costco! No more catalogs? What am I supposed to read on the sofa? -- nm - Mop Apr 21, 21:07 1
- Yep, none of the stores are pushing much in the way of specials right now. They just want you in and out as quickly as possible. -- nm - Meg Apr 21, 21:13
If we were told that “liberating” America would endanger Alex Trebek, everyone would just stay the fuck home and not bitch about it. -- nm - Mop Apr 21, 21:05 1
- liberals watch jeopardy, republicans watch wheel of fortune, they would be more concerned about pat sajac and vanna -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 21, 21:22
we have met the enemy. and he is us. -- (pic) - Peglegpete Apr 21, 21:04 [Attachment]

      - That's really nice. -- nm - David Apr 21, 21:12

  - Good job, Shaun. You should have texted me, but I'll let it slide. The rest of you: annoyed gaze. nm - ralph wiggum Apr 21, 20:47

My recommendation as an excellent counterpart to Monty Python docuseries is Monty Python Conquers America - JD Apr 21, 18:40 6
- Where would you find it? -- nm - spamlet Apr 21, 19:18 5
  - Netflix. I'm apparently on Monty Python kick as now watching Monty Python Live (mostly): One Down Five to Go - JD Apr 21, 19:28 4
