      - "Sir, this is just 20 pages of your signature." -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:59
- That's a really specific job position -- nm - JD Jul 13, 12:40 2
  - He usually only works 3-4 weeks every 4 years. But he's about to get REALLY busy. -- nm - Mop Jul 13, 12:43 1
    - Maybe there's a lot of burnout over all the "Pardon me..." jokes. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 12:46
- i want to know who wrote in the day and month for him, no way he can see or write that tiny. -- nm - colin Jul 13, 12:35 3
  - Opposite, for me. It is clearly him as he filled them in with his stupid Sharpie. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:36 2

    - Gosh I am so behind work has been brutal. Dua Lipa's new album is solid, but beyond that, IDK -- (edited) - MDH Jul 13, 12:56 1
      - I sort of get that. WFH has given me the freedom to do spoken word as much as possible so while I'm all caught up on podcasts and made serious - JD Jul 13, 13:01
  - Morbid fascination that there is no bottom to what these people will do? -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 13, 12:47
  - Responses to it popped up on my twitter feed. It’s topical. I’ve got nowhere else to be. Didn’t take much of my time. Didn’t seem like an issue. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 13, 12:41
  - It's this or finding out things are cake. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:41 1

- See, Redskins merchandise gives you brain cancer. - Will Hunting Jul 13, 12:30 4
  - who the fuck's mind does he think this would change? -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:31 3
    - It’s not about changing minds. It’s about keeping people on your side. -- nm - spamlet Jul 13, 12:45
    - It’s changing some, if you read the replies, but not in the way he thinks. -- nm* - Volnelk Jul 13, 12:37 1
      - Like is he secretly working for Biden? It would be a more rational explanation. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:40
- "Oh, this might be the kid that went on to do drugs so it's OK to attack a loving moment he had as a child" - what a place to find yourself in. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:29 3
  - Yep. Except it isn’t. It’s the other one. -- (link) - Volnelk Jul 13, 12:31 2
    - Right, that's what I was referencing - hey, let's put it in the best possible context he could imagine - he's still a shithead. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:32 1
      - Sure. At best, he’s an asshole. At worst, he’s one of the worst people on earth. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 13, 12:38
Car talk- Have a question, or rather would just like some input. - sycor Jul 13, 12:23 27
- I was going to ask if you tested a subaru, but instead I will just say, in your weather situation it probably doesnt offer a ton more - tRuMaN Jul 13, 12:51 1
  - I'm actually not sure about that for the Honda. If it's a designated percentage or just as needed. - sycor Jul 13, 12:55
- You might also want to see what FWD vs AWD does to the value of the vehicle when it comes time to sell/trade in. nm - Daniel Prime Jul 13, 12:50 1
  - I'm honestly not sure. I'll check on that. - sycor Jul 13, 12:57
- AWD is great for rain as well. The downside is that when one tire needs to be changed, they ALL need to be changed. - colin Jul 13, 12:32 1
  - We do get lots of rain. But yeah that tire thing is a big draw back. -- nm - sycor Jul 13, 12:51
- Have you test driven the Mazda CX-5? - JaxSean Jul 13, 12:31 5
  - GF has a Mazda and we hate it. Had to have the transmission rebuilt at like 40K miles and Mazda wouldn't cover it. - sycor Jul 13, 12:50 3
    - Interesting. I did pay for the extended warranty up to 100k so HOPEFULLY that doesn't happen, but I get that. - JaxSean Jul 13, 13:03
    - Okay, you are the second I have heard (similar to this). Noted. -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:56
    - Plus the Mazda dealership/ service dept sucks. - sycor Jul 13, 12:54
  - I second the suggestion for the CX-5 -- nm - znufrii, silly old man Jul 13, 12:48
- I mean, Canada, but AWD is a must for me. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:29 1
  - IMO he doesn't need it. I don't need it in NoVA. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 12:31
- I've got an SUV with automatic AWD; it's only ever activated one time that I'm aware of. Prevented fishtailing. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 12:29
- You can probably get away with FWD. That being said, I'll never not get AWD again - decline Jul 13, 12:29 3
  - Yeah like I said, we get winter precipitation maybe 2-3 times a year. Usually ice. And it lasts maybe 2-3 days when it happens. - sycor Jul 13, 12:47
  - So how do you like your Subaru? -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 12:29 1
    - I mean I love mine, but you didnt ask me -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 13, 12:48
- If it's not cost-prohibiting, get the AWD. -- nm - Shaun Jul 13, 12:27
- Roads, FWD is ok -- nm - the ice Jul 13, 12:24 6
  - I say the opposite. You can't steer with FWD. Oh, I just saw you're in NC. If not much snow don't get AWD, it reduces fuel efficiency. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 13, 12:27 4
    - Speaking as a northerner, I'd never buy any car that doesn't have antilock brakes. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 12:29 3
      - Is that even an option? I thought all cars had that these days. -- nm - sycor Jul 13, 12:46 2
        
        Do they? Good. -- nm - loosilu Jul 13, 12:51
        
        Probably some very baseline cars, and even then I'd be surprised. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 13, 12:49
  - This is like Coronavirus saying you don't need a mask! -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:25
Finally connected with my Podiatrist's office. No office visits yet but they can schedule a telephone appt(!?!) on July 30th to discuss. - Meg Jul 13, 12:16 5
- Dr. Tarantino will see your feet now. -- nm - Max Jul 13, 12:18 4
  - Seriously-It's a bit much, but I'd probably take a blade to a podiatrist if they told me to wait 3 weeks, just to talk too -- nm - Flavorize Jul 13, 12:20 2
    - Wouldn’t it be easier to just take the blade to the offending foot? -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 12:22 1
      - Easier, but less satisfying. Plus, Meg has a reputation to maintain. -- nm - Flavorize Jul 13, 12:23
  - ... why is this a zoom meeting? -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:19
"when you test, you create cases. So we've created cases." -- (link) - mud Jul 13, 12:11 13
- Dammit. I told them they should use a different swab for every test! -- nm - Mop Jul 13, 12:25
- Man, that leadership from wearing a mask. Don't know how Biden can compete with it. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:24 1
  - It's over, Biden is toast -- nm - ty97 Jul 13, 12:31
- "super radical left .. they're the ones whose city is burning." -- (link) - mud Jul 13, 12:23 9
  - It has never been more dangerous than it is now to give Trump any airtime -- nm - JackDawson Jul 13, 12:25 8
    - On the one level I absolutely agree, on the other, it only sinks him further in approval ratings. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:26 7
      - I can't get behind a strategy that elevates the results of a political election, as critical as this one is, over keeping clear and level heads to sol - JackDawson Jul 13, 12:27 6
        
        I'm finding the silver lining in the shit cloud, is all. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:28 5
        
        Oh sure. Still, the morally responsible thing to do at this point is ignore his statements and try to fix the shit cloud regardless of what he thinks - JackDawson Jul 13, 12:31 4
        
        so it's okay for EVERYONE on ST but me to constantly talk about the shit coming from him or the GOP .. -- (edited) - mud Jul 13, 12:34 3
        
        I regret that you took a post that I explicitly said was not about anyone here so personally and that it caused this enraged reaction. I suggest you - JackDawson Jul 13, 12:36 2
        
        these specious arguments from you about "giving him air" only come when I join in. -- nm - mud Jul 13, 12:49 1
        
        you're paranoid, I make these arguments all the time. -- nm - JackDawson Jul 13, 13:04
Okay, what should the new Edmonton team name be? Edmonton Endrunners? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 12:11 6
- "We named the dog Ash-pen." That and "SkineMax" (by Budice) were great. -- nm - Flavorize Jul 13, 12:22
- Empire was the front running suggestion when this was last thought about. -- nm - Reagen Jul 13, 12:19 1
  - Colonialist! -- nm - Protestors Jul 13, 12:44
- Eagles -- nm - mud Jul 13, 12:15

"We are moving back into a modification mode with our stay-at-home order but using a dimmer switch, not an on and off switch," CA Gov Newsom says -- nm - the ice Jul 13, 12:04 4
- Governor Newsom requiring all counties in the state to close all indoor operations. In LA , Orange, Ventura, San Bernardino Cpunties, Gyms, fitness -- (link) - the ice Jul 13, 12:09
- That's an amazing explanation 8-) -- nm - JD Jul 13, 12:05
- ... this feels like an unnecessary metaphor -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 12:05 1
  - Alright, I take it back then. 😂 -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 12:07

  - Me too. Couldn't think of anything but You're So Vain. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 13, 12:02 3
    - Yeah, I went there first too, but then it hit me. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 12:04 2
      - Carly is no JGARN! -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:05 1
        
        I mean, the last horse does look like he's walking onto a yacht. -- nm - Baron Burr Jul 13, 12:07
  - Confession....I had to Google 'top hits of 1972' :/ -- nm - Meg Jul 13, 12:01
  - 'cause there ain't no one for to give you no pain -- nm - Spawn Jul 13, 12:00
Shut down my AC... hmm. Temperature right now is 96 feels like 108. Nope. -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 11:55 2
- We are going to have to charge you for damages! -- nm - Landlord Jul 13, 11:57 1
  - I’m sure. Get a real job! -- nm - Qale Jul 13, 12:17
In case you need a quick laugh. -- (link) - Volnelk Jul 13, 11:54
Of course he has the pulse. The best pulse. Everyone tells him what a great pulse he has. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:54 1

- But what would, though? A mesh of a certain thickness and spacing and material? - Beryllium Jul 13, 11:57
Papa was a rolling stone Wherever he laid his hat was his home And when he died, all he left us was alone -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 13, 11:51
