JJ Watt wants Bank Deposit-style drive-thru Chipotle -- (link) - budice May 13, 09:28 3
- Uhm, no. I hate touching the thing when I go to banks with deposits right now. I go through a lot of wipes this way. I tend to wait in the longer line - Spawn May 13, 09:32
- Insert tube in mouth... -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:30 1
  - I laughed and spilt coffee on my lap....actually that would be the gas station method, chipotle by the gallon -- nm - zeitgeist May 13, 11:03
Oh joy! A new login to my PayPal account from somewhere in Germany. I'm sure that's fine. -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:25 6
- I keep getting random calls from the Philippines -- nm - decline May 13, 09:29
- This reminds me I forget my PayPal password again. -- nm - Loyola May 13, 09:28
- I've had someone steal my identity to open bank accounts this past week... :( I was told there's a surge of fraud since the pandemic started. Not sure - Guigue May 13, 09:27 1
  - Somehow my mobile number made it to some email sales list. I get messages from emails now and there is no way to block those. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 09:29
- I had about a dozen pings from the Congo on my google account - Reagen May 13, 09:27
- I needed new lederhosen! -- nm - Spawn May 13, 09:26
I had to go to a certain major brand pharmacy (someone here might be familiar) to get muscle relaxer Rx and it was a comedy of errors. - ty97 May 13, 09:18 6
- Ugh! I hope the meds help you feel better. -- nm - Krusty May 13, 09:39
- how bad did you jack up your back? - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 09:23
- What did you hurt? -- nm - pmb May 13, 09:23
- And all this time you’re like... this just making me more tense guys! -- nm - Qale May 13, 09:20 2
  - for reals -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 09:22
  - maybe maybe YES -- nm - JD May 13, 09:21
Alias on Amazom Prime -- nm - budice May 13, 09:16
It won't matter, but AOC won't be on the WFP line due to an oopsie -- (link) - ty97 May 13, 09:06 1
- Fuck it. I'm voting for Trump, then. -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:17
*thinking I just got a really great deal ordering beer online from a local startup craft microbrewery* -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man May 13, 09:05 4
- I've gone almost completely macro during quarantine. I can't justify paying 100% more for the same volume. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 09:11 1
  - Shaun:Local Brewery = Spawn:AMC -- nm - JD May 13, 09:14
- LOL. So with beer it makes one think as opposed to the people who put 6 bananas in the virtual cart. That's more than I usually pay but.... - JD May 13, 09:09 1
  - I always questioned the 6 bananas orders. For the longest time if you ordered more than 3, I’d only get you one bunch with the number of individual... - Qale May 13, 09:23
Here's what I'm gonna do this weekend -- (link) - prayformojo May 13, 09:04 [youtube] 1
- Weirdly that's just his normal commute. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 09:06
I like the futurism in "Upload", even if it's all just a knock off of Black Mirror. -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:02
Now the drones have flamethrowers. -- (link) - Krusty May 13, 08:50 11
- That's great until the drones decide we are just debris too -- nm* - decline May 13, 09:15 1
  - This is how Logan's Run actually started. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 09:27
- *field catches on fire* -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:02
- "pissin fire" -- nm - budice May 13, 08:59
- Are birds considered debris? -- nm - Flavorize May 13, 08:58 1
  - "grilled chicken" -- nm - budice May 13, 08:59
- bitchin' -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 08:55
- I have a better use for them right now - eag May 13, 08:55
- "You're welcome for the flaming garbage on your field" -- nm* - Reagen May 13, 08:54
- Yeah, they have been around for a while now. - Spawn May 13, 08:52 1
  - I see how useful it is but that's damn scary -- nm - Krusty May 13, 08:59
Announcing Twitch Roulette: Like Chat Roulette, except with less dong. -- (link) - Mop May 13, 08:46 2
- Are we sure about that? -- nm - spamlet May 13, 08:52 1
  - valid question -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 09:17
Last night, I bought two new flavors of potato chips: Pastrami & Rye and Cuban Sandwich flavors - Flavorize May 13, 08:33 16
- on purpose? -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 09:17
- What country are you in? -- nm - loosilu May 13, 09:00
- With Quarantine, Food Companies are reporting people returning to staples from Childhood. Chef Boy-R-Dee, McDonalds, etc -- nm - budice May 13, 08:49
- This strikes me as completely doing it wrong - JD May 13, 08:43 12
  - The WWonka comparison is very apt. Sorta an astronaut pill of flavors. I blame the Canadians w/their ketchup potato chips. They opened Pandora's Box -- nm - Flavorize May 13, 08:49 8
    - Ketchup flavour is for children. Training chips. -- nm - Andie May 13, 09:19 2
      - accurate. If I saw someone over the age of, say, 14 eating ketchup chips, I would stage an intervention. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 09:22 1
        
        ? ! -- nm - mud May 13, 09:26
    - ~come with me/and you'll be~ -- (link) - Reagen May 13, 08:53 4
      - The lime & habanero kettle tortilla chips are awesome. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 09:21
      - Whoa! I'm down to try all of those...except, maybe hot dog flavor -- nm - Flavorize May 13, 08:55 2
        
        the kettle malt vinegar ones are top shelf. -- nm - Reagen May 13, 08:56 1
        
        This I accept as this is just a preparation method and seasoning. If it was fish and chips with malt vinegar flavored potato chips..... -- nm - JD May 13, 08:59
  - Exactly. Potato chips should not be flavored as anything but potato chips. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:44 2
    - BBQ -- nm - mud May 13, 09:03 1
      - Okay. Not my thing but I will allow it. - Spawn May 13, 09:07
Disney Parks will likely require face masks when they reopen -- (link) - Remlik May 13, 08:25 22
- It's interesting, Carrie was telling me just last night that a lot of the travel industry seems to be waiting on Disney - Malcolm Bright May 13, 09:03 3
  - F she needs to know anything, just have her email me. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 13, 09:04 2
    - Will do. Right now, she's just trying to get through the next week or so without being furloughed. nm - Malcolm Bright May 13, 09:13 1
      - Good luck for her! -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 09:21
- After COVID-19, face masks will be a universal fact of life. There will be more pandemics and we'll only stop them like this. - Mop May 13, 08:49 9
  - I am 100% confident that mask use will rise. I am also 100% confident that two or three years from now will revert to "normal". - Name Withheld By Request May 13, 09:37
  - I think you're reaching with that last example. Businesses that far more people go to are restaurants and bars. Ever try to eat or drink with a mask? - JD May 13, 08:57 5
    - *tries to figure out how to eat satay skewer* -- nm - Bane May 13, 09:03 3
      - I ordered the beef well in advance. -- nm - ST Draft Analyst May 13, 09:04 2
        
        Is that how you wanted it done or a reference to the time you ordered? -- nm - JD May 13, 09:22 1
        
        Don’t interrupt our thread quotes, JD. - ST Draft Analyst May 13, 09:30
    - Force field masks! The slow blade penetrates the shield, JD! -- nm - Mop May 13, 09:01
  - The masks have already become fashion accessories. I've seen people have matching masks for each outfit. -- nm - Flavorize May 13, 08:53 1
    - Last time I was at a grocery store I saw a beautiful kids Cinderella mask on the floor. Made me very sad (for numerous reasons). -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:55
- We talked about it last night because we've been budgeting for a 2021 trip. Won't go until that's lifted. - Name Withheld By Request May 13, 08:41 4
  - Uhm, Even if they say "no masks required" I would not plan on going until you can be immunized. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:43 3
    - We'll see. I'm far more risk tolerant than many so it would depend on what the conditions of the disease were in a year from now. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request May 13, 09:01 1
      - Even so, Disney? A place where you are guaranteed the biggest mix of travelers is to be respected. Lets not make memories of *that* sort. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 09:05
    - this -- nm - Beaker May 13, 08:54
- Pretty much a given -- nm - budice May 13, 08:34
- Good idea, but I can not imagine going. Especially in heat. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:26 1
  - It's been only a week -- (link) - JD May 13, 08:41 [Backboard]
Unreal Engine 5 Real Time PS5 demo. -- (link*) - Shaun May 13, 08:11 1
- That looks like garbage - Guigue May 13, 09:30
LA Rams’ new uniforms -- (link*) - budice May 13, 08:04 3
- Alot better than Atlanta's. -- nm - Strongbad May 13, 09:11
- A little plain but they look good. I like the ombre in the numbers. -- nm - Krusty May 13, 08:14
- Technically, these should just be pajamas. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 08:08
MLB19 update: Almost thru May 2020 with the O's. I've asked my agent to get me out if he can. I'm still getting pinch hit for, which is ridiculous. - Shaun May 13, 07:57 8
- Perhaps you shouldn't have hit on the manager's wife -- nm - JD May 13, 09:03
- "Trade me right fucking now! *slam*" *ring* "Hello?" -- nm - Reagen May 13, 08:10
- That seems like a fault in the programming. There's never a reason to pinch hit for a guy hitting nearly .500 That would be the greatest hitting - Krusty May 13, 07:59 5
  - It'll only happen if I'm batting 6th-9th, which is still stupid with my stats. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:01 4
    - Yup. You should be batting 3rd and never get a day off or be taken out of the lineup. -- nm - Krusty May 13, 08:25 2
      - Bat 1st. The O's have already shown they can't put anyone on base. -- nm - Open Baron May 13, 09:02 1
        
        Ha! -- nm - Krusty May 13, 09:39
    - I told you to trim those sideburns! -- nm - Open Baron May 13, 08:23
Last thing I 'shopped' for and purchased: new router - JD May 13, 07:53 2
- looking for a new quiet dehumidifier currently (50 pint or so) - any suggestions ST? -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:57
- Friday I was driving home in the wind storm, passing a semi doing 88 and a (previously loose) chrome trim piece flew off of Nightwing. Ordered one. -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:55
GWAR! -- nm - prayformojo May 13, 07:46
Purchases: 15 Funkos either on the way or on the way shortly - Beaker May 13, 07:43 20
- You reminded me that my most recent purchase was actually two Garbage Pail Kids cards off eBay. - Krusty May 13, 07:57 [Image] 4
  - I may have a bunch of those cards from when I was a kid still. -- nm - tRuMaN May 13, 08:22 1
    - Nice! I loved them when I was in elementary school. I had a hard time deciding between them and baseball cards on which to spend the few bucks I had. - Krusty May 13, 08:27
  - weirdo ---- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:59 1
    - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 13, 08:00
- You... might have a problem. - Spawn May 13, 07:52 4
  - 314 with these... -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:52 3
    - bookmarking this so my wife can't say I have a problem with my 32 Pops. -- nm - JaxSean May 13, 08:00 1
      - "I don't have a problem!"? - Spawn May 13, 08:15
    - Ditch one and the head of another! -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:53
- I ordered fancy summer sandals. not browsing for anything. - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 07:50
- G-Dammit! -- nm - Mrs Beaker May 13, 07:49 1
  - LOL -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 07:50
- Are you getting deals or are these mostly retail-ish prices? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:47 6
  - varies. Not as good deals as local Buy and Sells or Kijiji, but the majority are super rare -- nm* - Beaker May 13, 07:47 5
    - Cool. I almost bought Thor 438 and Cap 573 from a local guy last week. Didn't bother, even though the price was decent enough. - Shaun May 13, 07:50 4
      - yeah, local I usually try to keep it 50% or lower of the pop Guide prices -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:51 3
        
        That huge FB CDN group is mostly crap. They all expect to sell their stuff at full PPG. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:55 2
        
        yeah, I dropped out of it -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:56 1
        
        Good idea. Left. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:58
Summer Game Fest reveal in about 20 mins. I'll watch and report back so you don't have to! -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:39 2
- New stuff in the Unreal Engine. Currently showing a demo running on PS5. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:02 1
  - Officially Unreal Engine 5. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:09
Marlowe, how's Spider-Man going? -- nm - Shaun May 13, 07:38 2
- It's fun. I think I'm 40% done with the main campaign. - Marlowe May 13, 07:59 1
  - Nice, glad you're enjoying it. -- nm - Shaun May 13, 08:21
Well, that's an unwelcome development. Jeans that were comfortable a month ago are now a bit snug. So, I guess I'm fat now. -- nm - TWuG May 13, 07:35 27
- My weight hasn't changed but then again neither has my diet or exercise for the most part -- nm - decline May 13, 08:47
- I've gained back everything I lost during the February diet bet. - znufrii, silly old man May 13, 08:11 2
  - I'm holding steady at the moment, but trying to get lower. Diet bet was good for me, but I'm trying not to push it too hard ... - Beryllium May 13, 08:34
  - ~When times get rough, you can fall back on us.~ -- nm - Cheez-It May 13, 08:13
- We're all passangers on the Axiom in Wall-e. -- nm - Mop May 13, 07:50
- I put on a few pounds in the last two months but less than I expected. I walk so much less than normal but I'm also eating more junk food than - Krusty May 13, 07:46
- I’ve actually lost 5 pounds or so during quarantine. - spamlet May 13, 07:38 18
  - I'm down about 8lbs, but my measurements are a lot better with more muscle. Slow going, but good progress - colin May 13, 09:08
  - 7 for me. All weight I had put on through the holidays and post-holiday vacation have now come off. - pmb May 13, 08:28
  - Yeah, we've lost weight too. Not doing take out. No real snacks. Long remote hikes on the weekend. I even jogged at 7:30am yesterday - before people - Andie May 13, 08:17
  - TWuG found 'em. -- nm - Mop May 13, 07:51
  - we need crib notes on how to do this - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 07:45 11
    - That moving day I had was a real workout. It's saved my quarantine. I'd get almost no exercise, otherwise. -- nm - Mop May 13, 08:50
    - I am down 8 as of this morning. - Spawn May 13, 07:53 5
      - Your IM.. Huge for me. Nothing to snack on, not running out to get something. - colin May 13, 09:09
      - nice job! -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 07:55 3
        
        We are in the candy dead zone! -- nm - Spawn May 13, 07:55 2
        
        the cookie/candy intake in this house is alarming - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 08:03 1
        
        Just saying, we are in holiday candy dead zone. - Spawn May 13, 08:09
    - Walking every day and trying not to eat a ton of junk. I really think it’s eating in rather than out. - spamlet May 13, 07:51 3
      - yep. -- nm - Andie May 13, 08:17
      - yep, me too. I know basically everything going into my food. When I eat out - not so much. -- nm - Diva May 13, 07:57
      - woot! -- nm - Pippy - not Jake Jortles May 13, 07:55
  - Sorcery!! -- nm - Bacon May 13, 07:42
  - LIAR! -- nm - Beaker May 13, 07:40
- this should have a hastag, like #quarantineass -- nm - tRuMaN May 13, 07:37 1
  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 13, 07:46
