Harry Potter: 10 Richest Actors Who Played Death Eaters, Ranked By Net Worth - ty97 May 25, 21:20 4
- What the... how does Malfoy have a greater net worth than a career leading actor, and together they only equal an Albanian/French actor? - Max May 25, 22:18 1
  - Harry Potter residuals pay the rent. He did a season Flash and I assume does a bunch of Cons (plus young enough not to of blown it all) -- nm* - Beaker May 26, 04:21
- Tom Felton at #3 must irk some others on that list. -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:44
- I'm not sure who Arben Bajraktaraj is, but from his picture, that's perfect casting. That guy probably eats Death Eaters -- nm - Flavorize May 25, 21:35
heh -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man May 25, 21:14 4
- They'll point to the pre-recording account, which states the man implied he'd take the dog. - Flavorize May 25, 21:22
- related... -- (pic) - Beryllium May 25, 21:18 [Attachment] 2
  - I’ve typed and re-typed a post multiple times tonight. Ultimately, that last panel says it best. -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:28 1
    - Although they forgot “I was on medication” and “I was attacked last week and this reminded me of that”. -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:29
Strange bumper to tonight’s episode of Jeopardy. V.O. from Alex Trebek reminding us that this is a new episode, and telling us to stay safe. - Mop May 25, 21:12
Hmm. -- (link) - Beryllium May 25, 21:01 2
- Precisely. - Mop May 25, 21:14
- Lol at the third tweet in the thread, though. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man May 25, 21:07
WHO drops hydroxychloroquine from coronavirus treatment study over safety fears -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man May 25, 20:48 1
- Trump drops WHO from funding plans over re-election fears. -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:03
Where do they make average items? - JD May 25, 20:32 1
- *cat knocks bottle off shelf" -- nm - . May 25, 20:37
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium May 25, 20:24
The Match averaged 5.8M viewers yesterday. Being touted as the largest cable audience for golf ever. -- nm - MDH May 25, 20:08 3
- Really? At 5.8M? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd May 25, 20:21 2
  - Have they ever had half that? -- (link) - Spawn May 25, 21:09 [Backboard]
  - Well where does one typically watch golf on cable? The Golf Network? Seems to me that the biggest viewership has been networks - JD May 25, 20:37
Because Warner can't do anything right, here's what you need to know about HBO Now vs HBO Max - Mop May 25, 20:01 9
- I signed up to get the discount and check it out at launch. If we don’t use it to justify it, we’ll drop it. - Volnelk, Caveman and Survivor # Picking Champion. May 25, 21:02
- And the HBO Now app on your phone will automatically upgrade to the HBO Max app. -- nm - Ender May 25, 20:35 1
  - It’s absurd that it’s taken until a month before launch for them to clarify this. - Mop May 25, 21:02
- Do they think people will keep subscribing to HBO on cable and add HBO Max at that price? - Krusty May 25, 20:31 5
  - This is how I read it, and I'm confused too. -- nm - MDH May 25, 21:22
  - If they're subscribing to cable, they get HBO Go already. If not, HBO Now will sunset, and HBO Max will be for streamers. - JaxSean May 25, 21:00 1
    - Right but there will be shows that are only on HBO Max which cable subscribers won't get. At least that's what I think is happening -- nm* - Krusty May 25, 21:17
  - Or do they just not care about what happens with cable subscriptions because so many people have moved to streaming their TV shows? -- nm - Krusty May 25, 20:32 1
    - I think this. Why bother going through the cable companies when they can just get paid directly? - JD May 25, 20:34
Not sure if we've been keeping up with the lady in the Central park dog/911 call video, but her employer has placed her on leave -- nm - ty97 May 25, 19:56 16
- She has surrendered the dog to the agency she adopted it from. Her world and privilege are being dismantled. - TWuG May 25, 20:14 12
  - I feel kinda bad for the dog right now because it's probably confused and scared and misses her :( -- nm - ty97 May 25, 20:20 11
    - The same dog apparently had multiple "accidents" -- (link) - Flavorize May 25, 20:27 9
      - "She even blamed a black dog." from further in the response. -- (link) - TWuG May 25, 21:15
      - What... the... fuck? -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:10
      - eh, I dunno, those don't seem like injuries from animal abuse at first blush -- nm - ty97 May 25, 20:42 4
        
        Central Park is a dangerous place, yo. -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:10 3
        
        It's really not though, especially where she is. I've walked dogs there for a decade with no issues she's had in just the last few years. -- nm - Krusty May 25, 21:19 2
        
        My post was in jest. I appreciate what ty97 is saying about how those don’t sound like pet-abuse injuries. Yet... c’mon. That’s a lot of injuries. -- nm - Mop May 25, 21:30 1
        
        Exactly. That's too many in such a short period of time. -- nm - Krusty May 26, 07:35
      - That's too many "accidents" in a short period of time. Seems like the dog is better off with the rescue -- nm - Krusty May 25, 20:36 1
        
        She returned and surrended him to the rescue today. -- nm - . May 25, 20:41
    - Yup. :-( -- nm - Krusty May 25, 20:26
- I missed this because it doesn't sound familiar -- nm - Krusty May 25, 19:59 2
  - ahh, appears wiggums posted it on back boards -- (link) - ty97 May 25, 20:01 [Backboard] 1
    - That's awful! - Krusty May 25, 20:05
What's the point of taking temperature and especially thermal scanners given the possible long incubation period and the spread via asymptotic people - JD May 25, 19:55 3
- Great question and one of my big concerns. It is mostly for show. Also it was hot and I was driving and my temp was 99.9 when I came in... nothing was - James Bond (aka Igor) May 25, 20:48 2
  - So for that experience, it really was for show 8-O -- nm - JD May 25, 20:55 1
    - I think mostly those screening are for show. Sure they can catch a few people but overall they don't give me much reassurance hence I wear an N95 and - James Bond (aka Igor) May 25, 21:18
ancient Aboriginal rock art, article -- (link) - Peglegpete May 25, 19:48 1
- Not as good as their prog rock phase. -- nm - Mop May 25, 19:50
Anyone keeping up with Snow Piercer (TV show)? Is it any good? Worth checking out? -- nm - Flavorize May 25, 19:46 1
- They're doing it as a murder mystery, which is a clever take on the premise. The first two episodes are solid. -- nm - David May 25, 20:22
Uncut Gems is now on Netflix in the US. I can’t suggest it highly enough to see how Sandler got robbed. - spamlet May 25, 19:43 10
- I watched their other one too...With Robert Pattinson. Not as good, but same style -- nm - Flavorize May 25, 19:47
- I here he's good, the movie's not? Not sure how accurate that is? I have a personal bias. -- (edited) - ty97 May 25, 19:44 8
  - Meh. Hard pass. -- nm - Spawn May 25, 21:14
  - So we're not going to get consensus on this movie. Noted. -- nm - ty97 May 25, 20:21
  - He’s great. The movie is terrible. It won my “best trailer, terrible movie” award for the year. -- nm - MDH May 25, 20:01
  - He was great and the film was very good. Nerve-wracking watch though. -- nm - Diva May 25, 19:53 1
    - Yes, I would not suggest starting it now. -- nm - spamlet May 25, 20:03
  - I really loved the film overall. - spamlet May 25, 19:46
  - Much like their movie. -- nm - Mop May 25, 19:46

- It's so charming. -- nm - David May 25, 20:22
I mean, they're pretty good. -- (link) - Reagen May 25, 19:00 9
- They don’t even get a ‘not blurry’ premium? Questionable melon sale. -- nm - Will Hunting May 25, 19:57
- The headline says "fruit prices plunge" so... dumb down this tweet for me? -- nm - Mop May 25, 19:48 4
  - today you can buy the fruit for 1 months rent on your house. last year the same fruit cost 3 1/2 years of rent on your house. -- nm - Peglegpete May 25, 19:52
  - Normally they go coco bananas over fruit auctions, but this year is down a significant percentage -- nm - Beryllium May 25, 19:49 2
    - OK, I see. The cutesy language in the tweet made it confusing. I thought “120,000 Yen sounds like a lot but they’re making it sound like a little.” - Mop May 25, 21:18
    - Like, 97% -- nm - znufrii May 25, 19:54
- Some people are reaaaally into Big Naturals. nm - ralph wiggum May 25, 19:46

  - *bookmarks post* - spamlet May 25, 18:49 1
    - They're 70s and 80s Ferrari which isn't what I would want in a Ferrari. The 250 models are the ones I love and would choose over any other cars. - Krusty May 25, 18:51
- In this order: DeLorean (it's a TIME MACHINE, Hello?!), KITT (talking, self-driving car? Yes, please!), ECTO-1, Aston Martin. - TWuG May 25, 18:44 3
  - If the car is actually a time machine then the DeLorean is the easy choice. - Krusty May 25, 18:56
  - Word to the OM. - Spawn May 25, 18:54 1
    - Technically, ECTO-1 is just a boring car with a cool look. Unless it comes with 4 unlicensed nuclear accelerators and some ghost traps. But I'm - TWuG May 25, 19:01

      - It'll look pretty in your driveway -- nm - Krusty May 25, 18:58
  - Same. We had a 66/67 Hemi Charger in 1970. Loved that car. -- nm - Meg May 25, 18:49
  - Yeah, a racist flag beats a smart car or a time machine. -- nm - Spawn May 25, 18:44 1
    - It's not really a time machine, it's just a shitty stainless steel car. - Cuzzin Todd May 25, 18:56

For all the bitching about masks "making you look weak", Biden's jet black mask was legitimately badass looking. -- nm - Reagen May 25, 17:42 8
