We just went out to measure. This year's newly-sprouted crop of bamboo is 16-18+ feet high - prayformojo Jul 8, 14:26 6
- You could do Forged in Fire episodes ... "It will cut" -- nm - zork Jul 8, 14:58
- What are you doing with it? -- nm - rollo Jul 8, 14:38 2
  - Mainly using it as a screen between our yard and the neighbor's. - prayformojo Jul 8, 14:47 1

Band Lady A is suing the Blues singer Lady A -- (link) - Remlik Jul 8, 14:14 10
- Seriously? ... does Lady A have a gofundme for legal costs? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:44 9
  - The band has the trademark already so the singer is kind of SOL. Demanding $10m when you don’t have a legal leg to stand on is ballsy. -- nm - spamlet Jul 8, 15:07
  - Looks like the band is willing to share the name despite claiming a trademark while the jazz singer is demanding payment. -- nm - Mop Jul 8, 14:45 6
    - $10 Million per the band. I don't know if that's too much to ask or not. - zunk takes things literally Jul 8, 14:49 5
      - I'm sure its negotiable. -- nm - Epiphany - with dog ears Jul 8, 14:57
      - I think it is, but I also think, if the opportunity arises, *get paid*, right? The band are the ones trying to save face. - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:56 3
        
        See above. They don’t have to, she does. -- nm - spamlet Jul 8, 15:12 2
        
        True, true, but that's why I was wondering if she has a gofundme for legal costs. Because fuck 'em. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 8, 16:00 1
        
        They tried to share the name.They tried to pay her (when they didn’t have to). They just werent going to pay $10m. - spamlet Jul 8, 16:02

  - “There’s no coming back for these Lincoln Project motherfuckers..." - Name Withheld By Request Jul 8, 15:23
- So the GOP is dominated by big D Demagogues. -- nm - Max Jul 8, 14:11 12
  - It's been my experience that you can easily find capital P partisans in every political organization. It's part of the wiring of those who do this. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 8, 14:19 11
    - "the number one issue for 80+% of Republican primary voters was loyalty to Donald Trump." that's different than partisanship. - Max Jul 8, 14:32 6
      - What do you think they find appealing about Trump? -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jul 8, 14:41 5
        
        Primary voters? Trump says what he thinks, he does what he wants, he supports the things they support and doesn't care about the things they think - Roger More Jul 8, 14:55
        
        he agreed to give them what they want--tax cuts and judges. deal with the devil. it's politics, but, again, there are devils and there are devils - JackDawson Jul 8, 14:53 3
        
        It's also a lot of "He pisses off the people who piss off me." There's a vein of voter who feels lost in modern political culture and.... - Name Withheld By Request Jul 8, 14:58 2
        
        But isn't a huge part of that attention created by Trump to draw the lines? One side says "we need change" and the other says "they want to ruin your - pmb Jul 8, 16:06
        
        There's a lot of that and the pissed off sentiment is 100% understandable (not when it's aimed at brown/black people) but when it's aimed at elites - JackDawson Jul 8, 15:01
    - what proportion are the ones that find it difficult to attribute sincere belief in "the other side" - Reagen Jul 8, 14:25 3
      - Way higher than I like, but frankly I've been arguing about that inability to apply "basic humanity" to more and more politically-minded. - Name Withheld By Request Jul 8, 14:41 2
        
        Wholly agree with you--it's a huge problem...we can't solve anything rationally anymore. I'm seeing this more on the left and it's troubling. THAT sa - JackDawson Jul 8, 14:50 1
        
        It depends. I think there is a strong element of "You're fucking insane" when it comes to Defund the Police extremists, trans in elementary school... - Name Withheld By Request Jul 8, 15:06

    - Well then, that was a pointless exercise. -- nm - David Jul 8, 15:52 1
      - yes -- nm - mud Jul 8, 16:00
I can't quite put my finger on why I dislike that English travel YouTuber, but it's not because he's English or because he travels business class. -- (link) - Mop Jul 8, 14:04 [youtube] 2
- And yet you watch (and post) at least one video per day of him. -- nm - spamlet Jul 8, 15:09 1
  - It's the Howard Stern affect -- nm - Krusty Jul 8, 16:23
Interesting. Dave has been driving me to office but he had to abandon picking me up. All the roads are flooded and impassable. I may have to take... - Andie Jul 8, 13:58 2
- that sounds....counter productive - Epiphany - with dog ears Jul 8, 14:05 1
  - That has happened after some big rains in some parts of the subway but much of the parts Andie uses are not susceptible - zork Jul 8, 14:56

  - The Uptown in DC! -- nm - Max Jul 8, 14:37
  - No. - Beryllium Jul 8, 14:10 1
    - But at the rate things are going, one could potentially get a small one for less than it would cost to build a home theater. - JD Jul 8, 14:30
- they want the tax write off -- nm - Epiphany - with dog ears Jul 8, 13:57 1

    - they're abrasive, for sure. it's an entertaining thread though. -- nm - colin Jul 8, 13:41
    - (not a content comment, just seems to be a pot-stirrer for the sake of it) -- nm - ty97 Jul 8, 13:41 2
      - The book pretty much positions Ron as getting his hackles raised when he thinks Harry might offer money to him or his family. - General Whee Jul 8, 13:56
      - Someone calling themselves Carly Rae Jihad? Nooooo -- nm - spamlet Jul 8, 13:52
