  - A dumpster fire. - ty97 Jun 10, 08:41 11
    - It reminded me of, I'm not joking, the Nairobi airport. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 08:47 3
      - I thought it was worse than most third world airports I've been in. Not kidding either. -- nm - pmb Jun 10, 08:53 1
        
        right? The only real difference between it and Nairobi was no chain stores. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 08:55
      - LGA Terminal B was (partly still is) a dump. A conveniently located dump. -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 08:53
    - Newark+ or Newark-? - Reagen Jun 10, 08:43 6
      - Which Newark terminal? I'm guessing not Terminal C? - ty97 Jun 10, 08:45 5
        
        Terminal A, looks like. -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 08:47 3
        
        Yeah sounds about right. They are mid-construction on a new EWR Terminal A. -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 08:51
        
        Newark I remember for the Yellow/Black signage. I thought they had made improvements on it. -- nm - budice Jun 10, 08:48 1
        
        It really depends on which terminal you are in. United's Terminal C is more modern. Terminals A/B are ancient -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 08:52
        
        here's a glimpse -- (link) - ty97 Jun 10, 08:46

    - I thought the Torture Racks were still at Baggage Claim? -- nm - budice Jun 10, 08:42
The last voter in Georgia cast a ballot 5 hours and 37 minutes after polls were supposed to have closed. And then the police were called. -- (link) - Mop Jun 10, 08:36 3
- The pictures I saw yesterday of the juxtaposition of empty polling places in GOP heavy districts vs the insane lines in Dem districts was crazy -- nm - decline Jun 10, 08:38 2
  - i had to block someone on facebook today who replied to an article about that issue saying it wasnt voter suppression, is just that - tRuMaN Jun 10, 08:41 1
    - JFC -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 08:48

- aww, my old neighborhood. Like literally around the corner from my apartment. -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 08:31
This is ... something: Pope Francis sends strong message to U.S. Catholics after George Floyd death. -- (link) - ReluctantCynic Jun 10, 08:24 4
- “We cannot close our eyes to any form of racism or exclusion, while pretending to defend the sacredness of every human life.” -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 10, 08:26
- Oh boy, I've already seen Catholics bite back at that. Feeling guilt for their vote, basically. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 08:26 2
  - Oh, I'm seeing it too. But I just adore the Pope putting ultra-conservative Catholics in such a tizzy of cognitive dissonance. - ReluctantCynic Jun 10, 08:27 1
    - Oh, I know. Of course they just call him liberal. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 08:32
We are doomed. At the post office and who do I see with no mask? UPS guy. I come back to the office and am telling that story and the board member - Spawn Jun 10, 08:22 1
- UPS is trying to kill the postal service! -- nm - Mop Jun 10, 08:37
(Edited to add link) these numbers are pretty staggering, if true, regarding the effectiveness of various responses to COVID-19 -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 10, 08:00 4 1
- So, at the known death rate, that's 3.5 million lives saved. -- nm - Inigo Jun 10, 08:08 3
  - We would expect it to be higher because hospitals would have been overwhelmed. That always raises the death rate. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 10, 08:14 2
    - Which the loosely state is why they didn't try to estimate the death rate -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 08:22 1
      - Yeah, they would have had to factor in at what point each country's medical infracture would fail ... and it varies inside the country. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 08:24
Additional Gallup #. Trump's economic approval rating dropped from a high of 63% in January to 47% -- (link) - decline Jun 10, 07:55

        *sigh* While in general fresh is better. Pickled, sliced jalapenos with industrial concessions cheese. There's always going to be a part of me that - JD Jun 10, 08:16 [youtube]

- "until at least 2021"? So... 2020, so far. *shocked face* -- nm - Mop Jun 10, 08:16
- Interesting. The post uses the word "cancelled" - JD Jun 10, 07:40 4
  - I mean, if you postpone it for a full year, it's pretty much been cancelled. -- nm - pmb Jun 10, 08:05 2
    - I say they just postpone it for a year but keep calling it ‘Coachella 2020’ then make every future version off by a year. - mafic Jun 10, 08:17
    - Practically but financially it has been proven there's a pretty major difference -- nm - JD Jun 10, 08:08
  - Lolla cancelled yesterday so I wonder if they were waiting for that. -- nm - spamlet Jun 10, 07:55
"a Yahoo! YouGov poll finds just 16 percent of those polled support providing less funding to police while 65 percent oppose it." -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 07:28 8
- Did they poll whether supporters think it means they'll have less government spending while still getting all the services they want? - Max Jun 10, 07:57
- This will take a while to change minds on but hopefully people keep pushing it. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 07:29 6
  - In the meantime, Biden puts an anchor around his neck by embracing it. So his op-ed makes sense -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 07:30 5
    - This and the discussion on B2 helps me realize it does make some sense despite my disagreeing with it. -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 07:43 3
      - I think it all goes back to being a terrible slogan. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 07:45 2
        
        I think it is too because -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jun 10, 08:03
        
        Right. It is extremely confusing. Because in my mind this money would be used for current policing functions, but that doesn't mean they remain in - pmb Jun 10, 07:53
    - Right. It has already been labeled "extreme left". -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 07:34
Woot! Logan gets to take Honors Biology next year. More HS credit! -- nm - Spawn Jun 10, 07:26 14
- Sheesh, seems like just last week when the early TT/ST babies were born. The first I remember was Hawthorne's oldest. - Meg Jun 10, 07:56
- Stellar!—He can also use the “I’m an expert in biology” line when he’s making moves -- nm - Flavorize Jun 10, 07:37

- Have you considered putting a brick on his head so he doesn't grow up so fast? -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 10, 07:27 1
  - This one really pleases me. All I had was they let me be a TA my 8th grade year and then - Spawn Jun 10, 08:38
What’s the regular price for a full Nintendo switch console supposed to be? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 07:24 4

- $300 -- nm - Krusty Jun 10, 07:26 2
  - Ok so that’s what Best Buy is quoting -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 07:39 1
    - Finding one actually in stock could potentially be challenging. -- nm - Shaun Jun 10, 07:41
