  - That right there is quality. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 09:33
- When it's French Canadian, it's spelled Levis. Well ok, Levis is the name of a small city. I never met a person with that as a first name, whatever that's worth. -- nm* - loosilu Jul 24, 09:32

- I know of multiple Harrisons. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 09:30 8
  - Harrison has had a decent run, not as much as Luke though, but there's no "book of Harrison" in the bible either so... -- nm - rollo Jul 24, 09:31 7
    - Some popular names are DEFINITELY from movies. Best example is Jennifer. -- nm - loosilu Jul 24, 09:34 6
      - Anglocized version of Guinevere, but I will humor you - which movie are you claiming introduced Jennifer to the world? -- nm - rollo Jul 24, 09:39 2
        
        Love Story caused a major spike. -- nm - spamlet Jul 24, 09:40 1

Red Bull doesn't only give you wings...it gives you immunity from prosecution for killing somebody too! -- (link) - decline Jul 24, 09:25 4
- That's a real interesting variant on the Twinkie defense. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 09:32 1
  - I think it's less the Twinkie Defense and more the "Here Is a Pile of Cash" Defense. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 09:33
- I look forward to the new ad campaign. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 09:27 1

July's not even over and there's only 21 movies left on the release schedule for 2020. Some have already been slotted for streaming. -- (link) - Mop Jul 24, 08:45 6
- The next thing studios will accept is that 2021 can’t support all that theatrical content. -- nm - David Jul 24, 08:46 5
  - Which is probably for the best since I assume production on new content has come to a near stand-still. - Mop Jul 24, 08:51 2
    - well at least a standstill in the US -- nm - decline Jul 24, 09:08 1
      - I just heard somewhere yesterday that the Matrix sequel had resumed filming in Germany. -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 09:11

    - 11 things a week! -- nm - Tim Jul 24, 08:46 1
      - :) -- nm - prayformojo Jul 24, 09:06
    - We have all failed you in those polls. -- nm - David Jul 24, 08:46 1
      - I just figured it was common knowledge! -- nm - ty97 Jul 24, 08:52
- It is known. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:26 4
  - did you know they almost made an ALl Star guest record. With Pete Townshend and others playing on songs for a record. -- nm - Remlik Jul 24, 08:27 3
    - I did not know it was "almost made". I know the idea was floated, though. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:29 2
      - well they got as far as 5 people saying yes. And Eddie had the music ready... - Remlik Jul 24, 08:48 1
        
        Okay, I will give you that then. I would call it "in development" at least. More than an idea. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:50
spamlet and Volnelk, ygm. -- nm - kelly Jul 24, 08:15
Bought an external SSD for my son's computer. They're tiny! - Mop Jul 24, 08:14 3
- (1 TB SSD for about $115) -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 09:22
- Sons? Yes, they are, but they get larger. Then they start eating everything. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 08:15 1
  - But that's not important right now. -- nm - Max Jul 24, 10:11
Plumber checked obvious things, but since the landlord won't let him access the unit (tenant not home), there's nothing more he can do. - Tim Jul 24, 08:10 2
- Is the implication then that the leak isn't coming from your place? - Mop Jul 24, 08:16
- We had two condos side by side where this happened. Had 4 plumbers, nothing found. We finally had a leak detection company come out. Twice. - Spawn Jul 24, 08:15
I just made one of Jamie Oliver's Fast Five recipes with only two of the specified items (improvised the rest). - LMS Jul 24, 08:02 4
- is it good? -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 08:22 2
  - Pretty good, I was able to make it in 15 minutes so suitable for lunch. I'll try it again with the correct sauce once I've used up the other one. -- nm - LMS Jul 24, 08:30 1
    - yum. I like that show. Got some good ideas for fish cakes there. -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 08:34
- My mom loves watching his Fast Five show :) -- nm - decline Jul 24, 08:03
So... Hanna. We thinking minimal hurricane at landfall? I think I’m missing out on this one as if flies to my south. -- nm* - Qale Jul 24, 07:58 3
- I don't think it will even get to hurricane strength - gonna be a lot of rain though -- nm* - decline Jul 24, 08:00 2
  - Modeling keeps underestimating it. They label them according to winds, rather than millibars of pressure. I think it’ll get there on the latter. -- nm - Qale Jul 24, 08:25 1
    - You may be right but it's still pretty disorganized -- (link) - decline Jul 24, 08:56
amanda, you're a splash of blue in a sea of red :) -- (link) - decline Jul 24, 07:50 2
- I'd have to be able to zoom in to see whether I'm Blue or Red. I'm probably right on the border of the blue/red line just west of Harrisburg. -- nm - Dano Jul 24, 08:09 1
  - I'm definitely in a darkest blue region -- nm - decline Jul 24, 08:15
Prime Video New Release: 'Radioactive' about Marie Curie(Rosamund Pike). One of the first Nobel-winning scientists on radioactivity. - the ice Jul 24, 07:49 19
- Marie Curie carried bottles of radioactive isotopes in her pockets and died of radiation poisoning - decline Jul 24, 07:53 10
  - Her husband was basically her lab assistant but he was awarded the Nobel Prize alongside her because... c'mon, she's a woman! -- nm - Mop Jul 24, 08:08 1
    - Women don't science. It is known. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 08:18
  - But really, not to carry radioactive isotopes in your pockets or you will die of radiation poisoning is not a bad lesson to remember. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 07:55 7
    - her remains were sealed in a lead lined coffin because of the radioactivity - decline Jul 24, 07:56 6
      - I am 14 episodes into season 13 of Supernatural and still waiting for them to travel to France. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 07:59 4
        
        I refuse to start on Supernatural as it's just too much of a commitment. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 08:15 3
        
        I have more-or-less enjoyed the last two months. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:19
        
        I'd never make it to the end. I get bored to easily -- nm - decline Jul 24, 08:19 1
        
        I am 278/320. I admit, my viewing has slowed down a little. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:23

  - :O -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 07:54 6
    - what are you imagining right now? -- nm - colin Jul 24, 07:55 5
      - Rosamund Pike singing Imagine Dragons. ~ :O ~ -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 24, 08:36 3
        
        *ding* -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:44
        
        Or the one by The Firm... -- nm - Beryllium Jul 24, 08:43 1
        
        My opinion of her is not quite that high. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:45
      - Standard Rosamund Pike emoticon. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 24, 07:59
Time for another round of What Song Did I Just Hear - Reagen Jul 24, 07:47 28
- Wasn’t that 1989? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 24, 08:38 1
  - Jan 13, 1990. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 08:40
- U Can't Touch This -- nm - Roger More Jul 24, 08:23 17
  - ding - one set of Hammer pants for you -- nm* - Reagen Jul 24, 08:25 16
    - Fashion fad was a *terrible* clue. ~Fresh new kicks, and pants.~ does not count! -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:28 15
      - Fashion fad, West Coast - both technically correct, and speaking as a bureaucrat that is the best kind of correct. -- nm - Roger More Jul 24, 08:33 4
        
        the west coast thing I knew was doing Krusty dirty. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 08:36 3
        
        It was the fashion part that got me. I thought the song title or the song itself mentioned a fashion fad. - Krusty Jul 24, 08:41 2
        
        that's a good note, actually - Reagen Jul 24, 08:44 1
        
        It was a good and tough clue. I have no complaint other than my not getting before Roger More. :-) - Krusty Jul 24, 08:58
      - I was worried it was too much! -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 08:33
      - It's not terrible but I don't remember people were wearing those parachute pants, just him. -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 08:31 8
        
        You must have blotted it from your memory. Wish I could! -- nm - spamlet Jul 24, 08:38 7
        
        NYC people in the 90s were not wearing parachute pants. We wore baggy jeans, large tees, Jordans and Timberland boots. Hockey jerseys were big - Krusty Jul 24, 08:44
        
        I wouldn't be shocked if they were more popular in places that didn't have a good rap scene than where they did - Reagen Jul 24, 08:39 5
        
        If you watch an east coast rap video from the 90s you can see exactly what we were wearing. The rappers weren't rich yet so they were wearing the same - Krusty Jul 24, 08:47 3
        
        In the middle Whiteness we were all trying to figure out things with only music videos to help us - Reagen Jul 24, 08:50 1
        
        Haha! The internet closed the gap on how long it took for things like fashion trends and styles to reach outside their area. - Krusty Jul 24, 08:54
        
        For example... -- (link) - Krusty Jul 24, 08:49 [youtube]
        
        I can picture ML wearing them -- nm - Roger More Jul 24, 08:45
- (spoilers) - ReluctantCynic Jul 24, 08:21
- Is it a well known song or more of a b side? -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 08:12 4
  - It is extremely well known. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 08:15 3
    - Huh. I'm not coming up with anything. Nuthin but A G Thang? -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 08:18 2
      - The fashion fad part has me stumped. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:19 1
        
        Me too -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 08:22
- This is pretty much the opposite of Glass Tiger. - Spawn Jul 24, 08:10
- Can you hum a few bars? -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 24, 08:00
Indiana mask order starts Monday. 4 sheriffs will not enforce. Of course, one is where I live/Amy works. - Spawn Jul 24, 07:40 12
- If the sheriff's are elected maybe a quick note they lost a couple of votes. -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jul 24, 08:24
- Greenwood? They still have to enforce trespassing requests -- nm - Remlik Jul 24, 08:09 1
  - Yeah, but expect they will just escort from the building and let them go. Not much of a deterrent. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:11
- Two unintentional firsts the last two days. Ugh. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 07:44 8
  - Ruiner! - ReluctantCynic Jul 24, 07:47 7
    - Since there may be no BF, I need new horizons. - Spawn Jul 24, 07:49 6
      - I'm sorry ... whut? - ReluctantCynic Jul 24, 07:53 5
        
        No NFL = no Blood Feud. -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 07:55 4
        
        Like we couldn't switch to the CFL? Or Australian Rules? - ReluctantCynic Jul 24, 08:19 1
        
        David, have you started looking into this? -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 09:36
        
        but we should draft anyways, just to annoy david. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 24, 07:59 1
        
        Agreed. START THE DRAFT!!! -- nm - Spawn Jul 24, 08:00
