- My CrossFit Gym, for the record, posted a "Floyd Memorial" workout that had workouts in intervals of 8:46 -- nm* - JackDawson Jun 10, 10:18 5
  - Shouldn't it be "Floyd"? This seems less offensive than the I Can't Breathe one, but still feels a bit vulgar. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 10:22 4
    - Sorry, typo. Is it vulgar? Under the "people grieve in different ways" rubric? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 10, 10:48 3
      - I don't think there's a "corporations grieve in different ways" rubric -- nm - Beryllium Jun 10, 10:53

- So I guess when people are out of work they don't buy overpriced coffee? Makes sense. -- nm - sycor Jun 10, 09:45

  - Yup. I've definitely had more success with that. -- nm - Mop Jun 10, 09:47

        You gave it an A-! -- nm - David Jun 10, 09:16 1
        
        eh...time changes the grade, story is ok, cast is actually good, and some great effects. But the director didn't give a shit. - Remlik Jun 10, 09:32

    - Well, it includes Zaire and Angola. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 09:05 2
      - Angola's still a thing. Eritrea and South Sudan are the big markers - Reagen Jun 10, 09:07 1
        
        Oh, duh. Well, it has Eritrea but not SS, which was up to date when I bought it. -- nm - loosilu Jun 10, 09:18

Seriously, JD. Wrong Turn 3 is really bad. So is 5. I do like 4 and 6 though. -- nm - Dano Jun 10, 08:58 5

  - Though there's not even a working prototype to support that stock's value. - TWuG Jun 10, 09:06 3
    - I'll amend. They seem to have a couple working trucks. - TWuG Jun 10, 09:15
    - And yet it's been bid up to match the value of Ford. -- nm - Ba'rona Beast Jun 10, 09:10 1
      - "Oh no, it's worse than we thought!" -- nm - NKLA Jun 10, 09:11

- Oh man, you just got the ERB GRRM/Tolkien song stuck in my head again. That's OK, though, b/c it's pretty great. -- nm* - Ba'rona Beast Jun 10, 09:11
- I am debating. But if I wait another week or two I will simply have long hair. - Spawn Jun 10, 09:00 6

    - If not for the convertible, there would be no debate. - Spawn Jun 10, 09:04
- Same! -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 08:57 6
  - Why do you have an appointment to get Shaun's hair cut? -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 08:58 5
    - I probably shouldn't have spoiled the surprise. -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 08:59 4

LGA was *definitely* better than Delhi domestic terminal and Chennai domestic terminals I was in. - ty97 Jun 10, 08:56 1
- That's a low bar. -- nm - Mop Jun 10, 08:59
I've said this before, but taking off from Newark and landing in Montreal was like taking off from a bus station and landing in a space ship. -- nm - Reagen Jun 10, 08:55 1
- Pretty much. LGA (Terminal B) and Newark (Terminals A/B) are just so old, they are from a different age, and they show it. -- nm - ty97 Jun 10, 08:57
