        Also annoyed at their tendency to run out of things to show me and tell me to add friends to see posts because I would refresh my news feed too often. - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 28, 07:20 1
        
        Hahaha! :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 07:29
        
        I’m not fond of the site, but it’s not for this reason. I never let my friends list grow past actual people I like. And I love ‘slice of life’ posts. - Qale Jul 28, 07:11 1
        
        I miss seeing posts like you mentioned. - Krusty Jul 28, 07:33
- Twitter and Facebook trying to draw lines about what is acceptable and what is not. 1) I don't envy them 2) It can be dangerous. - ty97 Jul 28, 06:49 6
  - I am furious that it’s taken this long to reach this point. Great power, great responsibility and all that. -- nm - Qale Jul 28, 07:08 1
    - me too. -- nm - Diva Jul 28, 07:11
  - I think it's more that Twitter and Facebook have had these rules for a long time. They're just now enforcing them with the Trumps. - Inigo Jul 28, 06:53 3
    - Yep. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 28, 06:58
    - agreed -- nm - mud Jul 28, 06:57

Happy real life NHL games Day!!!! -- nm - Shaun Jul 28, 06:21 23
- So we'll have NHL for a week or so before it's shut down? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 06:33 18
  - i haven't paid THAT much attention. In terms of strict bubbling does it go NBA - NHL - NFL - MLB in order of strictest to basically nothing? Yes? -- nm - Andie Jul 28, 06:34 15
    - NHL, NBA, MLB, NFL in my mind. - Will Hunting Jul 28, 06:41 4
      - Are NHL players & coaches confined (bubbled) and can't go home or travel? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 06:48 3
        
        tightly-monitored hotels inside the Toronto and Edmonton bubbles, where they will be separated from the general population by security fencing and - Beaker Jul 28, 06:57 2
        
        interesting -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 07:18
        
        And in Canada where it's much safer. -- nm - pmb Jul 28, 06:59
    - It feels like the NFL and MLB are about the same with strict guidelines. The tougher part for the NFL is they at least double the amount of people. -- nm - Inigo Jul 28, 06:39 1
      - And football requires close contact while baseball is a fairly socially distanced sport. -- nm - Dano Jul 28, 06:44
    - the NBA just had a guy show up at a strip club who would of likely gotten away with it to if not for a rapper posting a pic...so I'd flip NHL and NBA - Beaker Jul 28, 06:36 7
      - (on the technical level, NBA is stricter with just one location and fewer people) -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 06:40 3
        
        But on a technical level, they’re still in Florida. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 07:09 1
        
        My suggestion to hold all pro sports in Canada for the next year still stands. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 07:10
        
        Counter-point - location is in Florida :) -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 06:41
      - "Edmonton strip club" is not a positive phrase in anyone's vocabulary. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 06:39 2
        
        My boss at the first diamond company I work for took me to one near the airport. It was *uncomfortable*. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 07:10
        
        “Take it off baby!” *slides parka off slowly* -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 06:42
  - I think they'll have a decent chance. Just 2 locations, no travel will make a massive upgrade over MLB's handling -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 06:33 1
    - With all the physical contact of the NHL, as soon as one person gets it, it'll run like wildfire. - JaxSean Jul 28, 06:45
- I don't trust the Flames not to try fucking up McDavid or Drai. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 06:22 3
  - Signing Ogie Olgilthorpe is a bad sign... -- (link) - Beaker Jul 28, 06:30 [youtube] 1
    - "And that country's refusal to accept him" always cracks me up. -- nm - Reagen Jul 28, 06:38
  - Everyone cough on him! -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 06:23

- And we still don't have the tests results from the Phillies which may force them to cancel games today. What a shit show -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 06:04 3
  - Even with results they should cancel games today. 40% false negative four days after exposure. - mafic Jul 28, 06:13 1

  - I'd pay if the content is really good. I'll wait and see what it's like but I will say the cost is a little steep. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 06:05 4
    - The comments are the best part. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 28, 06:47 3
      - And it'll be $100 a year to comment. That's expensive. -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 07:00 2
        
        can you really put a price on "FIRST!" though? -- nm - Beaker Jul 28, 07:02 1

Vacation packing poll: for maximum space efficiency, all clothing should be Rolled, or Flattened. -- nm - Max Jul 27, 23:57 17
- i tend to combo. i use packing cubes a lot for various things, so that changes it up. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 28, 06:23
- Don't pack anything and just buy all new stuff when you get there - makes traveling a breeze -- nm - decline Jul 28, 06:06
- If it's a long trip, rolled. It's definitely most efficient space-wise I think (other than using those vac-bags like JenBro mentioned). -- nm - JaxSean Jul 28, 06:06
- folded on its end, kon mari style. -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 28, 06:01
- I learned a cool trick - get giant zip lock bags and put clothing into them separately, remove all air, zip closed and pack into the bag. It not only - JenBro Jul 28, 05:26
- Do you iron your clothes when you get to the hotel? -- nm - Krusty Jul 28, 05:12
- about 5 years ago on a trip to italy, 30 minutes before leaving, I crammed 50% of the clean laundry into my suitcase and hoped for the best. - loosilu Jul 28, 04:37 1
  - The best packing doesn’t start before midnight the night before. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 05:07
- I get more stuff in my suitcase by rolling my clothes. -- nm - Diva Jul 28, 03:21 3
  - I get *way* more stuff in by rolling, but I think I may try Andie's packing cubes for the next trip. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 28, 06:42 2
    - it mostly keeps stuff you only need for a specific purpose out of the way of general stuff. Or if you are in a time crunch for some reason everything -- (edited) - Andie Jul 28, 06:46 1
      - Yeah, I like to be organized, so it would help me, I think. -- nm - Judge Bane Jul 28, 06:57
- I mostly fold. in theory your rolled clothes might be able to pack tighter without wrinkling much, but it's such a marginal gain. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 01:49
- in theory, yes. There are always a few exceptions. and I only pack men stuff. -- nm* - Peglegpete Jul 28, 00:14 3
  - No Yes! Or! -- nm - Max Jul 28, 00:15 2
    - depends on what you are packing and what you are packing it in....roll up suits? a wedding dress? tshirts and swimsuits, socks and jeans? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 28, 00:21 1
      - everything should be stuffed in like a sleeping bag. especially suits. -- nm - mafic Jul 28, 01:48
