Classic. Work sends out a notice today of parking lot restrictions due to paving that started this morning - oblique Jul 9, 08:52 2
- I do feel silly paying for my monthly parking pass right now. At least it's pre-tax. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 9, 08:53
- ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm* - the ice Jul 9, 08:52
A Zendaya and John David Washington movie? Yes, please! -- nm - David Jul 9, 08:46 2

- Yeah! -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 08:48

"Babe, do you want breakfast?" "Nah, I'm not hungry." *makes food anyway and puts it in front of Babe* *Babe eats food in 2 minutes* - Diva Jul 9, 08:40 14
- Why climb a mountain of eggs? Because it's there. -- nm - Max Jul 9, 08:51 5
  - I wonder if this would work: "Honeys, you have to wear a mask." "We don't have to." *quietly places a pile of delicious smelling masks marked "Free"* -- nm - Max Jul 9, 09:03
  - I wonder how high you could pile eggs until they cracked under their own weight. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:52 3
    - If you somehow stacked them end to end, infinity. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:53 2
      - But there's an ultimate structural integrity you'd eventually surpass. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:54 1
        
        Never!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 09:01
- Waste not, want not -- nm - JD Jul 9, 08:41 7
  - If not hungry, it can be stored in fridge. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 08:42 6
    - Your cooking is irresistible? 8-) - JD Jul 9, 08:47 1
      - there it is. :) -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 08:48
    - Reheated won't be as good. And you made it anyway. May as well eat it. - sycor Jul 9, 08:43 3
      - see, he hadn't eaten since yesterday. and breakfast is healthy egg whites and veggies. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 08:46 2

Americans today if on the Titanic -- (link) - Beaker Jul 9, 08:37 11
- You do what you want to do, I'll do what I want to do - lets see what happens - Epiphany-screaming in my heart Jul 9, 08:55
- Haha! -- nm - Dark Callisto Jul 9, 08:46
- heh-heh. -- nm - Diva Jul 9, 08:45
- Meme seen yesterday: "Imagine if during the Blitz people had said 'I will not turn my lights off! That is inconvenient and you can't make me!' " - Andie Jul 9, 08:44 3
  - people did do that, though. -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:45 2
    - and was it stupid? -- nm - Andie Jul 9, 08:47 1
      - So stupid they employed wardens to compel compliance -- nm - TWuG Jul 9, 08:49
- I just sent this to my mother and she had already seen it! ST is getting slow!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:43 2

    - Well, the rest of ST. But not you, so thanks. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:52
- RTed. Good stuff. -- nm - Shaun Jul 9, 08:42
why can't i find any place to recycle all my batteries - laptop and AA/AAA batteries. supposedly lowes? -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:35 13
- CVS was taking them here but not sure if they're still doing it today. - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 08:58
- I admit I'm a bad person I throw my batteries away. I should get a box and keep them until the box is full and then recycle them. - sycor Jul 9, 08:38
- My county has a hazmat collection day once a week. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:36 6
  - once a *week*?!? I thin ours are so sporadic, like once every 6 months. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:38 5
    - Hmmm, I have to look it up now. They don't pick up, you have to drop off. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:38 4
      - Huh, you can apparently drop off every day at the main facility, but you can drop off batteries at certain fire stations. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:41 1
        
        It's been a while since I looked, but I've seen plastic containers for batteries (like dog park receptacles), outside stations, you don't even go in -- nm - Max Jul 9, 08:53
      - And I take back my statement. Apparently both counties here you can drop off any normal weekday. - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:40 1
        
        Yeah, I have not done it in a while. It's where I drop off painting materials. The pigments are toxic. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 9, 08:41
- Staples? -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:35
- lowes or home depot are my usual go-tos for batteries and CFLs -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:35 2
  - i'll have to peek in and see. i also contacted the county, they have no info on batteries specifically. -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:45 1
    - The two local Lowe's keep their recycle areas by the returns desk, if that helps -- nm - TWuG Jul 9, 08:48
WTF can't gmail contacts *work*? I added an owner to contacts and to a label. I do an email and add the group, they are not there. - Spawn Jul 9, 08:33 1
- no. reason: google doesn't care. - colin Jul 9, 08:33
Wait, those rants are the best he can do? Those rants are pretty weak sauce IMO. Hopefully this isn't what has gotten people worked up? -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:28 7
- If I could feel sorry for him, I'd feel sorry for him. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:30 1
  - This -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:32
- people are worked up? -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:28 4
  - I haven't seen anybody, I'm saying hopefully no one will -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:28 3
    - Seems like a pretty easy political drum to bang against him. “Look how upset he is to have to tell the truth”. - Volnelk Jul 9, 08:39 2
      - Yeah, Dems will f*ck that up for sure. -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:41
      - Absolutely -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:40
wife's coworker is buying a house - the one they got top bid on had *22* offers. - Reagen Jul 9, 08:27 3
- The seller's market is red hot here too. Realtor signs go up and it's not very long before the SOLD sign gets added. -- nm* - Shaun Jul 9, 08:31 2
  - our neighbors' house was on the market for probably 3 or 4 days, tops. Didn't even have to put up a sign. -- nm* - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:32
  - Yeah houses around here on the market less than a week before they go under contract. It's crazy town. -- nm - sycor Jul 9, 08:32
Did you know that if you refresh the UPS tracking page over and over, the truck drives faster? - loosilu Jul 9, 08:18 16
- I have something out for delivery but the question is, will I hear the bell with the A/C running? - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 08:33 1
  - Hehe I don't trust my delivery people to even ring the bell. I have everything go to a UPS store and I pick it up there. - sycor Jul 9, 08:37
- nmb xkcd -- (link*) - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:20 [Image] 10
  - Effin Memphis. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:32
  - My package has been stuck for over 2 weeks in another province. I just set an email notification if ANYTHING happens, and kind of gave up -- nm - Guigue Jul 9, 08:31 7
    - Old Navy? They are having epic issues with UPS. Packages have been sitting for well over a month with no movement. - Andie Jul 9, 08:34 3
      - Speaking of Old Navy, I need new shorts. Covid shrank my shorts. -- nm - sycor Jul 9, 08:35 2
        
        We need to set up an exchange where the COVID fitness people and the COVID baking people can swap clothes. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:37 1
        
        That's actually not a bad idea. - sycor Jul 9, 08:42
    - you should just drive over there and pick it up -- nm - decline Jul 9, 08:33
    - My mom had flowery handwriting. She once sent a package to CANADA ... it got routed through PANAMA. -- nm - loosilu Jul 9, 08:33
    - if you had states this wouldn't happen *america flex* -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:32
  - truth -- nm - the ice Jul 9, 08:22
- ...in the opposite direction. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 08:20
- it is known. -- nm - mud Jul 9, 08:19 1
  - so say we all -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:20
Pelosi: House will continue to look into “the President’s Russia connection that he is hiding.” -- (link) - mud Jul 9, 08:15
I have an 1898 wall map of NA that still has "Indian Territory" marked out on it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:12 10
- With wildly scrawled permanent marker circles and strings connecting pushpins? -- nm - Max Jul 9, 08:17
- I'm jealous. Not being snarky. I love maps. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 9, 08:16 3
  - me too! -- (link) - mud Jul 9, 08:18 [youtube]
  - yeah -- nm - prayformojo Jul 9, 08:18
  - should check out the last mapmaker. he's really good, does old-style maps. -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:17
- of course you have an 1898 wall map -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:15 4
  - I also have a 1949 globe! -- nm - Reagen Jul 9, 08:20 3
    - I've never thought about collecting globes, but that would be pretty cool -- nm - prayformojo Jul 9, 08:21 2
      - I think I'll eventually get more maps - globes are pretty space filling - Reagen Jul 9, 08:26 1
        
        Nest them like matryoshka. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 9, 08:30
Joined a softball league for the summer. First game is tonight! Hopefully I don't suck. Also hopefully I don't pull a quad or something. -- nm - Shaun Jul 9, 08:09 7
- never heard someone refer to a home run as a quad, but good luck! -- nm - colin Jul 9, 08:17
- Whoa - I have my first volleyball game tonight. So, I might not be around tomorrow. -- nm - Daniel Prime Jul 9, 08:12
- co-ed? slo-pitch? fast-pitch? -- nm - Beaker Jul 9, 08:10 1
  - All dudes. Slo-pitch. -- nm - Shaun Jul 9, 08:12
- My season starts tonight as well! Good luck! -- nm - Guigue Jul 9, 08:10 2
  - Same to you! -- nm - Shaun Jul 9, 08:13
  - Nice! Have fun, guys! - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 08:10
ty: I still haven't read but this is from NYTimes confirming my initial instinct - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:08 1
- Interesting, thanks -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:08
LOL We just tried to do an oral argument in a court in a relatively high profile case using a conference line. So many people dialed in it crashed an - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:07 10
- Outdoor court rooms for public proceedings. ;-) -- nm - Marquis de Krusty Jul 9, 08:12
- In the private law world litigation is basically on hold. Nobody is doing depositions, court hearings, etc. We expect it to change at some point, - pmb Jul 9, 08:10 7
  - I've got litigation going full strength in other venues - all video depos, zoom calls etc. Motions filed, answers filed -- nm - Epiphany-screaming in my heart Jul 9, 08:22 2
    - Interesting. -- nm - pmb Jul 9, 08:40
    - Are people in video depos just as sassy as the regular ones I see on tv shows? Because I've got a few zingers lined up, ready to be depo'd. -- nm - Max Jul 9, 08:28
  - These are their stories. -- nm - Qale Jul 9, 08:12
  - We have a lot of pressure to keep the markets working and are doing video/phone depos and arguments remotely. it is absolutely ridiculously -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:11 2
    - Bring in some twitch streamers to run it -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 08:13 1
      - Or, on a more serious note, hire Mop and Colin -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 08:14
- Court tech infrastructure has never been the greatest -- nm - the ice Jul 9, 08:10
Florida: 8936 cases, 18.39% positive rate, 120 deaths. Most daily deaths since the virus started. Ruh-roh. -- nm - Inigo Jul 9, 08:04 17
- Also, the U.S. death rate had been going down since April 20th (for 3-day and 7-day averages), but the past two days has made it go up. - Inigo Jul 9, 08:09 2
  - It's almost like deaths as an indicator lags behind other indicators... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 9, 08:13 1
    - almost - Epiphany-screaming in my heart Jul 9, 08:24
- I saw 48 deaths not 120? -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:07 8
  - That was the day before. -- (link) - Inigo Jul 9, 08:10 7
    - This is where I got the numbers for today -- (link) - ty97 Jul 9, 08:14 2
      - It looks like they have the correct overall death total of 4009, but have switched today's death total for yesterday. - Inigo Jul 9, 08:23 1
        
        FYI, CNN has the 120 death number. Most since the virus started. -- (link) - Inigo Jul 9, 08:47
    - they must be spreading those across the previous daily's for the past 2 weeks. The ones reported for 7/8 is only 15. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:11 3
      - Those number don't align with what I'm seeing. Granted, Florida in particular, is being confusing about the data. - Inigo Jul 9, 08:17 1
        
        FL (and other states) are "backfilling" deaths, so you'll see daily death data changing from, say, May still (possibly). - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:24
      - (June 5 deaths were 113, so still not hugely out of the box) - JaxSean Jul 9, 08:13
- That was always the fear right? Even if the death rate is lower than it was before it was always going to catch up slowsly -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:06
- ty97, avoid your mom! -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:05 3
  - She texted me a few minutes (I'm on a conference call) whether we have the numbers yet or not - ty97 Jul 9, 08:08 2
    - RUN TOM, RUN! -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:11 1
      - Train is tomorrow -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 08:13
If you ever wanted a Funko Pop of Chip blowing bubbles, today's your day. -- (link) - Shaun Jul 9, 08:02
I guess Paul Revere and the Raiders were right, Cherokee Nation will return. -- nm - jnine Jul 9, 08:00
Spamlet: On the Missouri state prosecutor. The prosecutor will have to have a good basis to convene a grand jury. - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:00 4
- Yeah: From Kavanaugh's concurrence - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:12 3
  - That’s good. -- nm - spamlet Jul 9, 08:20 2
    - Note that 5 Justices said Vance met that standard here -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:22 1
      - So Vance _can_ dance! Fogerty was wrong. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 9, 08:34
Maybe this will get people to take it seriously. -- (link) - spamlet Jul 9, 07:56 2
- Whoa. -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 07:58
- That's like taking away religion. -- nm - jnine Jul 9, 07:58
Is he already ranting on Twitter? I figured there would be a bit of a delay -- nm - ty97 Jul 9, 07:55 8
- This is about PROSECUTORIAL MISCONDUCT. -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:07 1
  - No, it's about ethics in gaming journalism! -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 9, 08:10
- You know he's insisting that he should be allowed to fire Gorsuch and Kavanaugh. -- nm - Inigo Jul 9, 08:00 3
  - Gorsuch and Kavanaugh - both knowing they stole seats on the Court - couldn't actually live with themselves voting for Trump -- nm - JackDawson Jul 9, 08:04
  - But they're MY Justices! -- nm - Trumpty Dumpty Jul 9, 08:02 1
    - ASKED AND ANSWERED!! -- nm - Kavs si Jul 9, 08:29
- yup Law & Order president being judgemental -- nm - the ice Jul 9, 07:56

"I heard his niece wrote a book?" "Yes, but what is there to learn about him? What would you be surprised to know that he did?" - Reagen Jul 9, 07:55 2
- LOL -- nm - Mop Jul 9, 07:59
- Hug a person, or one of his children, in a not-creepy way. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 9, 07:56
so the fascist is taking it well I see. - Jovian Jul 9, 07:54 4
- BUT NOT ME!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 9, 08:00
- "OBAMA AND BIDEN SPIED ON MY CAMPAIGN, AND GOT CAUGHT ..BUT NOTHING!" -- nm - mud Jul 9, 07:58 1
