What are the meats of choice for July 4th? Is that burgers, hot dogs, and ribs? Wondering what might go on special :) -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 22:02 11
- Meats. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 22:43
- I’m not feeling very July 4th these days. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 22:21 4
  - No, but I only have enough in the freezer for about another two months ;) Need to shop the specials. -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 22:25
  - Hopefully things pick up. There's going to be, like, a whole century between now and then. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 22:25 2
    - That’s true. It is only March after all. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 22:47
    - I just bought a ticket for a live performance on June 30. Feeling very adventurous. -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 22:27
- that, plus pulled pork maybe? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 22:08 1
  - Hmm, already have pork cushion on the list. -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 22:10
- Any thing that can be grilled. -- nm - . Jun 12, 22:07 2
  - Yeah, if I had a grill :( There's one out on the deck but I'd be afraid to use it. -- nm - Meg Jun 12, 22:11 1
    - I meant that's what will be on sale. Grilling is optional. -- nm - . Jun 12, 22:16
Would you say that The Commitments, The Full Monty, and Billy Elliott would make a good trilogy? -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 21:56 3
- Yes -- nm - . Jun 12, 22:08
- I haven't seen any of those. Would Spinal Tap, Still Crazy, and That Thing You Do make a good trilogy? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 22:01 1
  - Not quite -- nm - . Jun 12, 22:08
Did this rebel florida covid stats site get posted? -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 12, 21:53 2
- Well, she doesn't have to worry about paying her bills next Friday. - David Jun 12, 22:18
- Nice! -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 22:11
Needless to say, the unemployment numbers were manipulated and are much worse than reported. -- (link) - Mop Jun 12, 21:49 2
- The Household Survey has always been very methodologically finnicky anyway. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 12, 22:08
- This is so stupid that ... I can't help but read it in the voice of Alex Horne. "The numbers said 13.3% but after checking the replay, - Beryllium Jun 12, 21:55
Rocketlab Lauch Attempt 2 happening soon (maybe) -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 12, 21:45 [youtube] 1

All of that to rank Wrong Turn movies as follows 4-1-6-5-3-2 - JD Jun 12, 21:39
"President Trump, bowing to pressure, said he would delay a rally in Tulsa, Okla., planned for Juneteenth, a holiday honoring the end of slavery." -- nm - David Jun 12, 21:29 6
- More likely that he just couldn't get the venue than anything like "bowing to pressure" is my guess. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 21:35 4
  - I actually think the polls and protests have shaken him. The divisive tactics have backfired, and he's reassessing. - David Jun 12, 21:44 3
    - Unpossible! -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 22:54
    - From this day forward, I swear to you, he will be a uniter, not a divider! -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 22:44
    - Or Juneteenth and the Massacre aren't quite as obscure as they thought they were. -- nm - . Jun 12, 22:10
- Rats! -- nm - Stephen Miller Jun 12, 21:33
Dano's right - Wrong Turn 6: Last Resort is interesting. I'm going with that's the stylish, horny one of the franchise *spoilers* -- (edited) - JD Jun 12, 21:28
Pippy!! Tonight's episode of Cocktail Hour at the Gem. Relevant scenes are at 4:00, 31:50, and 51:10. I got a shout out around 26:20 but - Meg Jun 12, 21:06 [youtube] 3
- Awwww -- nm - Epiphany Jun 12, 21:20 2
  - Tad, on tonight's show is also their theater and box office manager. He's the one who knows exactly which seat I like and - Meg Jun 12, 21:28 1
    - He knows he’d better! -- nm - Epiphany Jun 13, 06:26
An upcoming issue for all those internet-enabled devices folks have ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 12, 21:01 1
- That’s next generation’s problem. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 21:31

So have we come to a consensus on Space Force yet? three episodes in and it's kind of all over the place. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 20:19 4
- I literally have not heard one good thing about it. -- nm - Ender Jun 12, 20:22 3
  - some of everything works some of the time, but I've haven't seen a part where everything is really working all of the time, and overall it's just a bit of a mess. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 20:29
  - I have heard lots of disappointment, and apparently it kind of pulls together at the end ... -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 20:24 1
    - The best thing I've heard, though, is because they were first to use the name, they might win a copyright battle over the actual Space Force. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 20:24
The governor of any state that goes back into lockdown looks like the biggest idiot in the country, right? (nm) - Tim Jun 12, 19:52 11
- It just doesn't seem like someone would go back on lock down. Most people think we are all good, who cares about the numbers or other people. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 12, 22:06
- WA hits 25,000 cases and 1,200 dead -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 12, 20:37
- Yeah. I just don’t see anyone going back into lockdown. At this point, it’s just let ‘em die. It’s fucking tragic but it’s become socially acceptable. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 20:28
- That will be Santis. or de Santis. Florida man. -- nm* - loosilu Jun 12, 20:08
- no. the governor who did not go back on lockdown and gets really high, like 40% death rates looks worse. -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 12, 19:57
- To a person, everyone has said they won’t. -- nm - David Jun 12, 19:55 4
  - whole lotta people bout to die. -- nm - Tim Jun 12, 19:57 3
    - This is exactly what we said a month ago. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 20:09
    - Why don’t you care about the economy, Tim? -- nm - David Jun 12, 19:57 1
      - if everyone dies, there is no economy -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 12, 19:59
- I think we’re open now almost no matter what happens at this point. -- nm - Dano Jun 12, 19:55
Movie I enjoyed very much in the VHS era but haven’t seen in a long time: Moon Over Parador. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 19:40 1
- moonstruck -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 12, 20:09
Don't Racist Open Inside? -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 12, 19:37 7
- Wait, what? - JaxSean Jun 12, 19:47 6
  - Africa and India both suffered mightily under Churchill, and he wasn’t shy in his opinions about races he thought inferior. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 20:31
  - Would it be surprising that a white British man who lived during the heavy colonization of Africa was racist? -- nm - Dano Jun 12, 19:53
  - Before WW2 he was a nasty dude. And he believed in race-based hierarchies -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 19:49 3
    - See also the Bengal Famine of 1943, brought on by oppressive British policies meant to prop up the “home front”. -- (link) - Mop Jun 12, 20:32
    - Presumably he was nasty in WW2 too but was able to focus it on the enemy :) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 19:50 1
      - He was a fairly mediocre prime minister for any time except the war. -- nm - mafic Jun 12, 20:30
Whoa, the Missouri Chamber of Commerce comes out for the Medicaid for All initiative in Missouri in August. The GOP says it will ruin our state 4 evs. -- (link) - spamlet Jun 12, 19:36 7
- This sounds like expansion under the Obamacare/ACA, not M4A? Am I misunderstanding? -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 20:53 5
  - It's the ACA-funded Medicaid expansion, not Medicare for All. -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 20:56 4
    - Ah. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 21:18
    - The closest connection I can find to that name is the main supporter of the initiative is named Missouri Health Care for All -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 21:00 2
      - CAN NO ONE MAKE A GOOD, ACCURATE SLOGAN ANYMORE?! -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 21:04 1
        
        I'm not even sure it is a slogan, I cannot find substantial references to the initiative being called such, even as a colloquialism -- (edited) - znufrii, silly old man Jun 12, 21:11
- Has any state actually implemented this yet? Vermont? Massachusetts? Wouldn’t it be wild if Missouri was the first? - Mop Jun 12, 20:43

        New theme for Splash Mountain? -- nm - Dano Jun 12, 20:14 1
        
        Seems more appropriate for the Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, unless I've drastically misread the franchise. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 20:21
- 6 is.... interesting. I think in a good way. -- nm - Dano Jun 12, 19:36 1
  - Oh no, JD. Stop while you still can. -- nm - spamlet Jun 12, 19:45
- Whoa. Regency as a production company? What happened to Summit? -- nm - JD Jun 12, 19:24 2
  - .aaand time. Boobs at about 2;30? 3 minutes? -- nm - JD Jun 12, 19:26 1
    - and we're back to detestable characters - JD Jun 12, 19:47
Just cooked a big bowl of stir fry rice, took two bites, then dropped a big bowl of stir fry rice on my carpet. - Max Jun 12, 19:19 2
- Can I recommend a carpet stain cleaner? -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 20:15
- The carpet hairs are just added fiber -- nm - Krusty Jun 12, 19:26
Well that ended on a bleak note. ummm...that's kind of eh...but at the same time... Wrong Turn 5 *spoilers* -- (edited) - JD Jun 12, 19:15

- So... America... what are we going to do about Stone Mountain? -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 19:02 11
  - If you mean the carving, I mean... it kind of should stay. Maybe put less emphasis on it during the laser show. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 19:52
  - We gladly offer America our expertise. We've have plenty of experience in blowing up ancient sites and ruins. -- nm - ISIS Jun 12, 19:38 1
    - Shut up. We were better. -- nm - The Taliban Jun 12, 20:12
  - There was a serious proposal to put an MLK Memorial on the top of it. - Reagen Jun 12, 19:10
  - Or Rushmore. It's on stolen land. -- nm - TWuG Jun 12, 19:05 5
    - So’s your house. -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 19:38 4
      - It is and that's something to reckon with. Just because it happened in the 1800's doesn't mean it isn't relevant today. -- nm - TWuG Jun 12, 20:12
      - So's your house. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 12, 19:44 2
        
        So’s all our houses. That’s the point. If we decide we’re going to do something about Mt. Rushmore because it’s on stolen ground... - Mop Jun 12, 21:17 1
        
        Solutions for one need not be solutions for the other. -- nm - TWuG Jun 12, 21:49
  - One Mountain at a time, Mop. -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 19:03

- Why do you like Nazis? -- nm - Mop Jun 12, 19:03 1

  - Legolas not a bad consolation prize -- nm - budice Jun 12, 18:54

    - The playlist will be 4-5 songs. And it will play in repeat over. and over. and over. -- nm - ty97 Jun 12, 18:33 1

- A fun game you can play in America on a long drive is “Prison or School” where you look at a government facility and have to guess which one it is. -- nm - Qale Jun 12, 18:45 2
  - Doesn't work in the northeast. -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 20:17

  - :-) What actually intrigues me about this post is how long you've lived in one place. How many years is it? -- nm - mara Jun 12, 17:57 7
    - I think 14. I love it. I am in a high rise, it's a pretty place, I have a great view of DC -- nm - loosilu Jun 12, 17:59 6
