apparently he's "Pinned" his Tweet suggesting the changing of Election Day -- nm - mud Jul 30, 12:21 4
- you know he doesn't really know how to do that right? -- nm - Epiphany- Loathsome Cur Jul 30, 12:21 3
  - This made me laugh. - zunk takes things literally Jul 30, 12:29
  - whether he or someone he has do it does it is irrelevant. It is done from time to time. -- nm - mud Jul 30, 12:26 1
    - He's got co- conspirators in this Tweet Game. He's a nasty man. -- nm - Epiphany- Loathsome Cur Jul 30, 12:29

This is probably a silly question, but - does Converse make actual sneakers? Not the thin fabric ones, but ones that are more like Nikes/Skechers etc? - kelly Jul 30, 12:04 7
- Those look like they have a nice collar around the ankle. Nike owns Converse and that's the only model they make. I haven't worn them but - Krusty Jul 30, 12:11 5
  - What, the ones I linked? - kelly Jul 30, 12:14 4
    - Yeah, I like the thick collar by the ankle which isn't on the thin high tops. - Krusty Jul 30, 12:19
    - Oh, wait. These are slip-on shoes. Never mind. Back to the drawing board! -- nm - kelly Jul 30, 12:15 2
      - Vans have a lot of fun styles and colors. They're really comfortable. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 30, 12:29

Koepka has birdied each of the first four holes to begin his title defense at the WGC-FedEx St. Jude -- nm - the ice Jul 30, 11:55
The Bubba Gump Shrimp Company was spawned from a movie. What other commercial products have done the same? -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 11:53 15
- You could also count the Machete movie which was just a fake trailer within Grindhouse before becoming a real movie. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 30, 12:24 2
  - though it's technically a Spy Kids spinoff. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 12:26 1
    - I knew that not! -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 30, 12:26
- Who Killed The Electric Car? -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 12:11
- Quidditch? (sp?) -- nm - Krusty Jul 30, 12:04
- Soylent -- nm - decline Jul 30, 11:58 1
  - I have a box of Soylent Green crackers. They were a novelty thing from Thinkgeek back in the day. - sycor Jul 30, 12:03
- Spawned = the movie makers turned it into a product? Or just inspired by? - Roger More Jul 30, 11:58 1
  - I could be wrong but I have a feeling he is just making it up as he goes. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 12:00
- Wonka? -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:58
- Wonka Candy. -- nm - Blue Punch Baron Jul 30, 11:58 1
  - heh -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:58
- Murray Bros. Golf (maybe). -- nm - zunk takes things literally Jul 30, 11:57
- Disney World? -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:53 1
  - Maybe. I don't know what the criteria is for this poll. Does a replica lightsaber count? -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 11:55
School decision here in Ontario - Elementary back in class full time. High schools, either half time for more populated schools, full time for less - Andie Jul 30, 11:43 22
- A's preschool just sent out another questionnaire asking parents to confirm whether or not we are sending our kids back. -- (edited) - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 30, 11:58
- I'm looking forward to C losing her mask as frequently as she loses her mitts, which is... daily -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 11:47
- That sounds like a bad idea. -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 11:45 19
  - Didn't she say yesterday that out of 26k tests they had 76 positive? -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:49 14
    - Which is great for them. Maybe I'm just jaded because of how badly the US is doing. - sycor Jul 30, 11:53 12
      - Uhm... - Spawn Jul 30, 11:54 11
        
        Just curious, where did you pull those numbers from? - sycor Jul 30, 12:01 1
        
        I just google, "Indiana Covid" after noon each day and the Top Stories has the news reports of the numbers for the day. - Spawn Jul 30, 12:05
        
        I can't belive they are really reopening. -- nm - loosilu Jul 30, 11:56 1
        
        I think Indy just switched. If only these really were dominoes falling all around us. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 12:01

        I mean... -- (link) - Reagen Jul 30, 11:58 5
        
        Well, I almost said, "Canada" but I heard Toronto is an awful place. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 12:06 2
        
        it is! (10 cases in Toronto past 24 hours.) -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 12:16 1
        
        it's the story we tell our kids to keep them acting right! "Scream one more time and I'll send you to Toronto!" "No, we'll be good, we'll be good!" -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 12:20
        
        Hotspot!! -- nm - decline Jul 30, 12:01 1
        
        I'm going to PEI this weekend, which if the US had the same case rate per capita, you'd be sitting at ~75000 cases, total. -- nm - Reagen Jul 30, 12:08
    - yeah, today's numbers below. Under a 100 every day. -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 11:50
  - not sure. we have *far* less cases per capita than you guys do. but, i can see outbreaks happening easily. -- nm* - Andie Jul 30, 11:46 3
    - Yeah that was my thinking as well. And kids, especially young kids, are not known for their good hygiene. - sycor Jul 30, 11:48 2
      - Ontario today - 89 new cases, over 27,000 tests. We are at a trace and contact point. but again, i feel no certainty this will work. -- nm - Andie Jul 30, 11:49 1
        
        The number will not hit zero until we have an immunization. - Spawn Jul 30, 11:51
Damnit. Someone else already put in an application on the place we wanted to move to. - sycor Jul 30, 11:40 1
- Damn! If it doesn't cost much I say put in an application anyway. The other applicant may fall out for some reason and you'd hopefully be next in - Krusty Jul 30, 12:14
This is a white guy holding a BLM sign in Harrison, Arkansas. It goes about liked you'd expect. - TWuG Jul 30, 11:29 14

- "Find Jesus" - Spawn Jul 30, 11:47 7
  - That's a good idea. He'd put his foot up some asses. -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 11:51 5
    - It is sad that if Jesus reappeared today, none of those people would believe it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:52 4
      - to them he already has and he lives in the WH -- nm - Jovian Jul 30, 11:57 1
        
        He could appear in black face one day instead of orange face and I bet none of his people would comment. - Spawn Jul 30, 12:08
      - Yes because they probably think Jesus is white. -- nm - sycor Jul 30, 11:54 1
        
        "I'm Jesus!" "That's your opinion." -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 11:56

The SCA, a group that knows a thing or two about plagues, has suspended all in-person gatherings until January 31st, 2021. -- nm - Qale Jul 30, 11:26 2
- Society for Creative Anachronism or Student Conservation Association? -- nm - Spawn Jul 30, 11:28 1
  - The former. The latter is probably saying open the schools! -- nm - Qale Jul 30, 11:32
Winanses! -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 11:25

And now the Blue Jays/Phillies games this weekend have been postponed. I think the league is done for this year -- nm - decline Jul 30, 10:47 4

- Bery can speak to this probably, but there is an code editing program that makes it easy to rewrite tweets and social media posts. I’ll see if I can - Flavorize Jul 30, 10:54 2
  - Anyone can use the Inspect Element option on their browser to rewrite tweet content. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 11:30 1
    - (But that's different than deleting a tweet, and sometimes a deleted tweet can be recorded elsewhere to prove it existed) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 30, 11:31
- There's a twitter feed that shows old, uninformed tweets from people who later died of COVID-19. More than anything, it makes me sad. - David Jul 30, 10:48
- Rewriting history. -- nm - Mop Jul 30, 10:47
Barack time -- nm - con_carne Jul 30, 10:40 3

Has the Lincoln project already put out an ad on what Trump tweeted - eag Jul 30, 10:28 11
- They'd do a better job memorializing Herman Cain or talking about today's economic data. That's why the distraction is happening. -- nm - David Jul 30, 10:31 10
  - I think you give Sir Tweets a Lot far too much credit on the 'distraction' angle. - ty97 Jul 30, 10:35 8
    - To a degree this is true, but I think his brain works like "why is everybody focusing on that when this is happening?" -- (edited) - pmb Jul 30, 10:38 7
      - "Enough about you, let's talk about me..." -- nm - TWuG Jul 30, 10:41

        Also, has anyone checked to see whether voting by mail was a topic on Fox & Friends this morning? -- nm - znufrii still hasn't gotten a haircut Jul 30, 10:47
        
        Yeah, but I just think that the more he gets annoyed about criticism or things that aren't going the way he wants, he automatically starts ranting - pmb Jul 30, 10:44
        
        There's a reason I reference much of his political strategy as a DDOS attack on the truth. -- nm - David Jul 30, 10:43 1
