- i mean, it all depends on whose data it is. -- nm - tRuMaN May 1, 11:59 3
  - I'd say he thinks Data is an android, but there is no way he is aware of ST:TNG. -- nm - VMan May 1, 12:01 2
    - I mean Data could mean Fox News. -- nm - tRuMaN May 1, 12:06 1
      - Or "many people are saying". -- nm - VMan May 1, 12:11
- "I'll never lie to you..." that's a great question. Next. -- nm - VMan May 1, 11:59
~tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies♪~ -- nm - mud May 1, 11:44 2

  - All is well. Come July we will be rocking! -- nm - VMan May 1, 11:50
Sounds like honking protesters are back around the White House. -- nm - Max May 1, 11:39

- first in 417 days apparently -- nm - mud May 1, 11:30
- She made me want to throw the remote at my tv when she was a panelist on CNN, more than Santorum or the others. - Max May 1, 11:30 1

“I will never lie to you - you have my word on that,” -- (link) - mud May 1, 11:25 4
- she then answers the first question by ignoring it and repeating the talking points of the WH...that's when I turned her off -- nm - zeitgeist May 1, 11:33
- I can kinda believe she believes that, just that she'll announce everything as amazing because that's an opinion. -- nm - Max May 1, 11:26 2
  - (also I expect she'll be fired within six months if she intends to stick with that promise) -- nm - Max May 1, 11:27 1

- I'm sorry, NO. - ty97 May 1, 11:26 5
  - I assume this was planted by someone in their world. But honestly if they do this Dawson is right and we should just dissolve the Democratic Party. -- nm - spamlet May 1, 11:27 4
    - There is 0% chance that this will happen. - Jovian May 1, 11:50 1
      - I'd go as low as -5%. -- nm - Open Baron May 1, 11:52

- Ah, congrats to them! -- nm - Andie May 1, 11:27
Judging from what we are seeing today, people are just going to pretend like there isn’t a pandemic. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 1, 11:21 5
- I've noticed traffic is back to normal despite the fact that we still have five weeks to go. -- nm - Max May 1, 11:25 2
  - Where are people going? Isn't almost everything closed? -- nm - ty97 May 1, 11:58 1
    - No idea, but it was lunch time, maybe they were all going to the drive thru. -- nm - Max May 1, 12:03
- It'll be amazing if you're not at 100k official reported deaths by the end of May. -- nm - Reagen May 1, 11:24

- cgi - mud May 1, 11:21
- Slightly different angle -- (pic) - Reagen May 1, 11:21 [Attachment] 3
  - very nice -- nm - JaxSean May 1, 11:57
  - really like that backsplash -- nm - prayformojo May 1, 11:29 1
    - That's certainly no slapdash backsplash! -- nm - Open Baron May 1, 11:36
sitwap: Marvel comics to resume releasing new comics beginning on Wednesday, May 27. -- (link) - mud May 1, 11:12 8

NB: 2 active cases. Almost there. -- nm - Shaun May 1, 10:43 1

I have a 20x PC Optimum Points offer in the app, so I'm going to stop in at a SDM to see if I can fluke into a Switch. - Shaun May 1, 10:43 2
- Double check that it applies to "general merchandise". Usually does, but you never know. -- nm - VMan May 1, 10:44 1
  - There's been tonnes of threads in the past in regards to these offers on RFD. They deifnitely work on consoles. -- nm - Shaun May 1, 10:47
Lockdown in Ireland extended to 18th of May. -- nm - Loyola May 1, 10:40
Surely we can squeeze in a cameo role for DMac when ST: The Movie gets made. -- nm - Open Baron May 1, 10:36 2
- Maybe a bigger role...like the dad in Footloose -- nm - Flavorize May 1, 10:50 1
  - FSK. -- nm - Open Baron May 1, 11:00
So my take on Borderlands 2 so far is that is fun but luckily not super engrossing / creepy like BioShock. So I let myself play on work nights - JD May 1, 10:35 4
- There is no throwing under bery. He literally made me throw up a couple of times. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 1, 10:39 1
  - Well, I think I could match that. There's times that I was just holding down both triggers (had vehicle with rockets and MG) and bouncing around - JD May 1, 10:42
- I love just driving around shooting stuff. Except the Raks (flying dragon like thingies) - JaxSean May 1, 10:37 1
  - Just hold down the trigger(s) and vaguely aim at the sky 8-) -- nm - JD May 1, 10:39
heh this meme -- (link) - Jovian May 1, 10:27 1
- perfect. -- nm - mud May 1, 10:28
Oh, no, what will become of us when HSX is gone? - Marlowe May 1, 10:20 17
- Not sure if anyone has DMac's info, but it'd be nice if he was invited here. -- nm - Inigo May 1, 11:18 2
  - He dropped his email in his farewell post on the Movies board. -- nm - Shaun May 1, 11:18
  - I think a number of us have him on Facebook -- nm* - ty97 May 1, 11:18
- We could pull over some of their regular posters...at its core, ST is still movie/TV based...get some fresh blood 🩸 -- nm* - Flavorize May 1, 11:12 1
  - yes -- nm - mud May 1, 11:14
- Streaming Stock Exchange -- nm - budice May 1, 10:50
- I haven't played the game in forever, but I'd be awfully sad to see it go honestly. But most importantly, sorry for D Mac. -- nm - ty97 May 1, 10:39
- Wait... what? -- nm - Mr. Havens May 1, 10:35 1
  - B2 -- nm - mud May 1, 10:43
- We'll just get Bery to code a replacement like he did with TT. - ReluctantCynic May 1, 10:33 5
  - Stream Exchange. It's a combination predictive market and Nintendo switch marketplace. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 11:44
  - The bummer to me is some other site's going to swoop in and do the same thing six months from now and DMac will still be out of a job. -- nm - Max May 1, 11:41
  - I mean, really, he should have it done by Monday, right? -- nm - oblique May 1, 10:35 2
    - I give him until 4pm -- nm - ty97 May 1, 10:39 1
      - Oh it's already coded. Bery was just waiting for an opportune time to launch. - Open Baron May 1, 11:25
- I miss their music game. I found a flaw and exploited it to the max. nobody ever cashed out and I was playing to get the lowest port value ever - Peglegpete May 1, 10:27
- HSX Ronin -- nm - Max May 1, 10:22
Poll: If a customer/client told you to "shut up" during a phone call with them what would your response be? - Walt_Disney May 1, 10:20 11
- Thanks everyone for your opinions :) -- nm - Walt_Disney May 1, 11:11
- "No, I am not your wife." - Spawn May 1, 10:52
- "Okay." - ReluctantCynic May 1, 10:40 2
  - I need to print this out -- nm - Pippy- inky spot on your desk May 1, 11:59
  - Yes, this is how it's done. Although in my experience the last part wasn't necessary. - zunkskunk May 1, 10:44
- “Goodbye” *click* -- nm - Mr. Havens May 1, 10:38
- I'd shut up. Let them finish their rant then move on to solve the issue. - zunkskunk May 1, 10:37
- Yeah, that's an insta-hangup for me. -- nm - Shaun May 1, 10:25
- I had that happen to me before, in a conference call. - Marlowe May 1, 10:23
- "Shut up? If I wanted to be talked to like that, I'd go home to my wife. Do you want to continue this conversation like adults? Or are we done here?" -- nm - Uhtred Ragnarson May 1, 10:22
- Realistically this is driven by their value to the bottom line. -- nm - Max May 1, 10:22
Liz Phair: Welcome to the thunderdome -- (link) - mud May 1, 10:16
Michael Caputo: Grosser than originally thought... -- (link) - Diva May 1, 10:15 1
- pig -- nm - mud May 1, 10:27
Can anyone confirm if the SEC has a live feed of Elon Musk's twitter on a giant screen? -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:12 2
- (A coworker suspects this is the case) -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:13 1
  - NO COMMENT -- nm - JackDawson May 1, 10:21
Bwahaa. This new game looks hilarious. -- (link) - Shaun May 1, 10:09 3
- The tone is very Kung Fu Chaos. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 1, 10:22 1
  - Ohhhhhh.... That was one of the first games that I played multiplayer with my brother and his friends. Good times - JD May 1, 10:38
- Haaaaah. Not my kind of game, but definitely my kind of trailer. -- nm - Beryllium May 1, 10:12
Somehow this seems worse than a disgruntled employee doing it. -- (link*) - Shaun May 1, 10:05 6
- What is the game play / mechanics like for the original? That's another game that I read was fantastic from a story point - JD May 1, 10:19 5
  - It's a third person perspective. I would highly recommend it. It was metacritic's Game of the Decade. Should be fairly cheap on PS4 now. -- nm* - Shaun May 1, 10:22 4
    - Third person and then what? Some type of combat? -- nm - JD May 1, 10:48 2
      - I'd call it stealth suvival. There are melee weapons and guns for combat. -- (link*) - Shaun May 1, 10:52 [youtube] 1
        
        Thanks and hmmmmmmmm -- nm - JD May 1, 10:56

The Terror has been renewed for a third season at AMC -- nm - Beaker May 1, 10:04 1
