2 weeks ago I saw a sign in front of a Staples store that said, 'Curbside Ordering - Online Pick-up.' And I'm like "Wait, what?" - howie Aug 3, 16:03 12
- 3D printing...go see what they are supposed to look like, then make one of your own...which I imagine is like home made clothes look copied frm Macy's -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 3, 17:49

  - Home Depot works great. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 3, 16:31
  - Home depot and best buy, works great -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 3, 16:22
  - I've done it at Walmart and Outback. Not had any problems. -- nm - Meg Aug 3, 16:14
  - Really well. Even Best Buy can't screw it up. -- nm - David Aug 3, 16:13

        This store is small and old, and the parking lot is likely not conducive to curbside parking. -- nm - Meg Aug 3, 16:37

  - Touring Embry-Riddle we could see why they’re in person. They have so many labs I’m not sure how they’d do totally virtual. - spamlet Aug 3, 16:12 2
    - Ross went there if you have questions. -- nm - amanda Aug 3, 16:13 1
      - Oh, that’s good to know. It was the first and she’s only a junior but it definitely impressed. -- nm - spamlet Aug 3, 16:16
- that's called sanity. -- nm - loosilu Aug 3, 16:04 1
  - It is also called give me a refund. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 3, 16:04
Posted on my IG, I received my masks from Liberty London today, less than a week, arrived via DHL air (free to the US). - loosilu Aug 3, 15:55 5

the NBA refs might want to swallow their whistles a bit. 83% of points scored shouldn't be coming by free throws -- nm - prayformojo Aug 3, 15:40 2

Seeing Trump claim he can prevent vote by mail through executive order. -- nm - TWuG Aug 3, 15:32 19
- Seeing Trump claim he can prevent masks in polling places to prevent voter fraud. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 3, 15:57
- Can we just stop posting every asinine claim he makes? - spamlet Aug 3, 15:53 9
  - There shouldn’t be many restrictions on who is posting what here. As long as it’s marked NSFW and legal. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 16:16 7
    - It's not "and this topic is banned", it's "is it a good idea to post them?" -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 16:21 6
      - It may be therapeutic for them? I dunno. I just would hate to be stricken down for the nonsense I post. -- nm - Qale Aug 3, 16:55
      - This is not a public board, so I see nothing wrong with it. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 3, 16:24 4
        
        Has nothing to do with public or private. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 16:30 3
        
        If I thought there were hundreds of people reading that it might spread the message, I wouldn't want it posted. But just between this group? We can - ♤Spawn♤ Aug 3, 16:34 2
        
        I just think we've long reached the stage of "crazy asshole says some more shit that won't happen" and it's not going to change. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 16:37 1
        
        I get this, but also think every bullshit thing he says has to be called out in some way. - TWuG Aug 3, 17:05
  - I've been saying. -- nm - Reagen Aug 3, 16:00
- He's just trying to create voter confusion. -- nm - David Aug 3, 15:45 3
  - There is much concern among Republicans that Republicans have typically been the heavier users of this and he's only going to succeed in keeping more - pmb Aug 3, 16:37
