Oh wow, there's a special surprise in 2020's hurricane names if enough of them form... -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 3, 12:35 [youtube] 3
- I can't see video so I googled the list. What am I missing? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 13:07
- Nice. Who decides these? -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:37 1
  - NOAA/NHC I believe. Rotating lists, six of them -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 3, 12:39
Richard Sherman with the smackdown on Brees comments -- (link) - budice Jun 3, 12:29 4
- If you have maneuvered yourself so that you care more about a symbol than the actual people it's supposed to represent, your priorities have failed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 12:34 2
  - People need dramatic examples to shake them out of apathy and I can't do that as Bruce Wayne, as a man I'm flesh and blood I can be ignored I can be - Spawn Jun 3, 12:39
  - Yep. So many on the right seem to do that (flag burning, etc.). The reality is it's just a convenient excuse to try to keep others down. -- nm - pmb Jun 3, 12:39
- Good God, I'm agreeing with Richard Sherman over Drew Brees. -- nm - David Jun 3, 12:32
Since John Boyega is in the news, you should definitely watch Attack The Block if you have not. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 12:27 5
- turn on the subtitles -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 12:29 1
  - I recall they showed it without subtitles at SXSW and I laughed (but understood) when I found out the release would be subtitled. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 12:31

a university with which I have some familiarity is contemplating having all workers who can be remote be remote for the foreseeable future. - amanda Jun 3, 12:17 14
- I'd rather be in the office, but our department hasn't lost efficiency during work from home so we will be the last ones back. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 12:29
- Saves on Brick & Mortar costs. Would the Uni compensate for WFH hardware / Internet? -- nm* - budice Jun 3, 12:25 1
  - I'm fine, and work more efficiently from Home. Since some LA Protests were within blocks of my office, I'll likely be WFH for awhile -- nm* - budice Jun 3, 12:32
- the IM first sentence is wow -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 12:24 2
  - Professors having office hours in their apartments sounds... sketchy. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:25 1
    - so instructors are going to be asked to come to work. this gets less dangerous if the vast majority of administrative workers are WFH. -- nm* - amanda Jun 3, 12:40

  - I would prefer 3 days in, 2 days at home. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 12:24 4
    - the problem with this, we are finding, is hoteling. ideally, you would share space with a coworker who is 2/3 to your 3/2. - amanda Jun 3, 12:39 1
      - that's expected to be an issue for us 2 years when we are supposed to move to HVD. My current space is large enough to allow our group - Diva Jun 3, 12:46
    - The biggest challenge for me is not being able to print stuff at home because of data security issues - znufrii, silly old man Jun 3, 12:28 1
      - a lot of my colleagues are having the same issue. -- nm - Diva Jun 3, 12:29
- wow. although this could mean you score a big corner office with a great view if you apply to go into the office -- nm - decline Jun 3, 12:20
- My wife's university is doing that (she hates it and wants back in). -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 3, 12:19
Heh. Is this too far? -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 3, 12:16 2

  - He is putting on his Godzilla suit as we speak. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:13
she's losing a lame Hello Fresh endorsement. Do we think Lea Michele will lose out on performing opportunities once she's ready to go back to work? -- nm* - Diva Jun 3, 12:10 8
- Since Hollywood's pretty racist, I doubt it. -- nm - David Jun 3, 12:19

- Was she swimming in opportunities before? nm -- nm - Marty Byrde Jun 3, 12:11 4
  - she's been a part of 3 network television series in the last 10 years. That's a lot. - Diva Jun 3, 12:16 3
    - Really? I had no idea. Other than Glee, I don't think I've seen her in anything. Wow. -- nm - Marty Byrde Jun 3, 12:17 2
      - The mayor and Scream Queens I believe are the other two -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 12:18 1
        
        We looooved The Mayor. The lead from that and God Friended Me is a talent. -- nm - David Jun 3, 12:20

Too much to post (and too boring to read) but how can opening swimming pools be *this* hard? -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 11:50 16
- Just get a big piece of cardboard and write "NO" with a marker on it. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 12:16 1
  - One of the two let me have all the pool furniture stowed away. I look SO forward to the complaints on that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:34
- You need to start making ultimatums! If they don't stop being a pain in the ass you'll call your buddy with the cement truck and problem solved! -- nm* - decline Jun 3, 12:05 4
  - They had me take bids for a full pool rebuild (tear out/rebuild). When I saw the rates I also worked up a bid for a cement truck to do exactly that. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:15 2
    - I believe you - my buddy has a company that does the rebuilds - it's crazy expensive -- nm - decline Jun 3, 12:18 1
      - We are leaning towards an ongoing special assessment for it. I would love to know what percentage of owners have used the pool in the last year. - Spawn Jun 3, 12:20
  - [snork] -- nm - mud Jun 3, 12:08
- Last summer that's shaking one's head type question. This summer? I can think of so many questions that would make opening a public/semi-public pool - JD Jun 3, 11:53 8
  - The latest, I designed and ordered signage from Office Depot. A number of three different signs. Called this morning, confirming they were ready. - Spawn Jun 3, 12:01 7
    - :-[ -- nm - mud Jun 3, 12:03 6
      - People would have to be STUPID to want to go to a public pool. But from the number of calls I have had, oh yeah, people are STUPID. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:04 5
        
        I can believe. I'm really worried about not seeing Dune in a theater because there won't be a vaccine by Dec. A pool? fuck no -- nm* - mud Jun 3, 12:07 4
        
        Oh, I am very worried about that, the Marvel movies, and others. "Seeing it opening weekend" will never be the same. COVID killed a part of me. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:17 3
        
        Black Widow & Eternals, yeah. That other one isnt til May -there should be a vaccine by then! -- nm - mud Jun 3, 12:21

Drew Brees pulled a Vic Fangio -- (link) - budice Jun 3, 11:45 5
- I agree with Reagen about the tide turning. Brees will eventually fully apologize for these comments. -- nm - Inigo Jun 3, 12:00
- Brees, Brady, and Peyton Manning may be the future of the Republican party. And that's sickening. -- nm - David Jun 3, 11:50 3

  - The Manatee is great more times than not -- nm - Beaker Jun 3, 12:07

    - Sounds really familiar, but definitely not from around here. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 12:18
    - If someone did that around me I'd think they were panicking about something. I'm not sure I'd tolerate driving with someone who did that. -- nm - Max Jun 3, 11:29
    - Also fwiw, I didn't know that this was a thing until I saw that article. -- nm - Shaun Jun 3, 11:28 2
      - That it's unusual, or that anyone does it? -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 11:29 1

A story in 4 parts.... -- (link) - Remlik Jun 3, 11:16 8
- Jesus Christ, that girl has destroyed her own future. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 12:20
- I knew a lot of good people who were ignorant like this at 18. More than anything, I feel sad for how much the educational system has failed her. -- nm - David Jun 3, 11:21 5
  - (She'll either learn from the shame of this or become a MUCH worse, embittered troll.) -- nm - David Jun 3, 11:27 4
    - Yup. I'm afraid she'll come away with the wrong message from this and simply hold a grudge. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 12:22 2
      - The lesson she will learn: Stay of the f-ing internets! -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 12:23 1
        
        I'm sure her reasonable, level-headed parents will have a common sense discussion with her about all this. -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 12:27
    - Yes. Which is why the univ is praying for her. Only she can control her destiny ... and she just learned the terrible power of that. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 11:29

The Wretched definitely seems to be taking advantage of the lack of movies. - Dano Jun 3, 11:04
JD, it is almost definitely due to capacity restraints. - David Jun 3, 11:02 5
- Got it. So kind of like the monorail in WDW? How open is open to everyone going to be? - JD Jun 3, 11:07 4
  - The other option is to go to the front of the park and then switch. It's like the Disneyland/DCA entrance in that regard. - David Jun 3, 11:13 [youtube] 2
    - I wonder how much the AP part of today is warping things cause I kind of see if you can in theory go all the time then you might be willing to wait - JD Jun 3, 11:19 1
