in pokemon go, is there a way to see whether gyms past my "near me" are having raids. I'd like to go for a walk but I'd like to do a raid while on it -- nm - amanda Aug 12, 13:54 2
- Not unless your area has a map (which are not sanctioned by Niantic) -- nm - ty97 Aug 12, 13:55 1

  - whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa. "hatch chile brauts?" -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 14:05 1
    - they are spicy but not too spicy. I was brough up on beer brauts and all others are disappointing to me *shrug* pic inside - Epiphany - ant bit Aug 12, 14:11 [Attachment]
- nachos. -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 14:03 3
  - that's your answer for everything! did you see the " nacho table" making the rounds on FB? - Epiphany - ant bit Aug 12, 14:05 2
    - no...what is this?? -- nm - Diva Aug 12, 14:11 1

- it is zucchini season. i bought coconut last night so i could make this today (a summer favourite): -- (link) - Andie Aug 12, 13:58 5
  - looks yummy -- nm - Epiphany - ant bit Aug 12, 14:03 2
    - Not sure if i ever made the dipping sauce. I either use something we have, or don't bother at all. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 14:08 1
      - I bet you could buy something similar seems like a lot of work for a dip sauce. though it looks divine -- nm - Epiphany - ant bit Aug 12, 14:13
  - Yay Kitchen Treaty! (though I can't see zucchini and coconut going together) -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 13:59 1
    - zucchini is one of those things that just tastes like whatever you cook it with, really. -- nm - Andie Aug 12, 14:00
- I like dinner. I think I'm having a skirt steak with roasted potatoes tonight. -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:56
- I generally start thinking about it roughly 15 minutes after lunch. -- nm - pmb Aug 12, 13:55

- Not sure. I have to meet with the trainer at the gym today after work. Probably will have some tacos again but I had that last night. - oblique Aug 12, 13:52
- It's a meal in the evening. -- nm - the ice Aug 12, 13:51
awww....looks like actor Wings Hauser passed away -- nm - Remlik Aug 12, 13:50 1

I'm supposed to be writing up my annual reviews for my department but there are people being wrong on the Internet I must attend to - oblique Aug 12, 13:48 1

Indianapolis Colts offensive line coach Howard Mudd, 78, passed away this morning from complications from injuries sustained in a July 29 accident - Remlik Aug 12, 13:28 2
- That's a shame. He was a great coach and obviously beloved by his players over the years. -- nm - David Aug 12, 13:36
- Oh no. -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 13:29
Smoking gun: live corona virus pulled from air in a hospital setting, confirming air transmission -- (link) - zeitgeist Aug 12, 13:23 6
- collected at a distance of seven to 16 feet from patients hospitalized with COVID-19 — farther than the 6 feet recommended in social distancing... -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 13:28 5
  - I always thought 6 feet was kind of bs. If it is in the air it will travel further than 6 feet easily. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 12, 13:34 4
    - I always viewed it as sort of the minimum where there is some benefit. Helps with the droplets and I assume as it spreads it becomes less dense so - pmb Aug 12, 13:54
    - You've gotta start somewhere, and also balance what people will acknowledge - Reagen Aug 12, 13:36 2
      - Right I get that. But it is sort of silly when people think they are all safe because they are 7 feet away. - James Bond (aka Igor) Aug 12, 13:56
      - and very few would have accepted initially being told we have to be 15' apart or more -- nm* - Peglegpete Aug 12, 13:50

  - OH COME ON, I just faked my death for this! -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 13:28 1
    - Try to use that degree to get a job Dead-Spawn! - Will Hunting Aug 12, 13:38
- How many people are going to fake their deaths & then get it reversed, to get a free degree, I wonder? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 12, 13:21 2
  - Dead Man's Curve 2! -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 13:22
  - Hmm. I wonder how many times I would have to die to become an expert in *everything*? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 13:22

  - stealing this -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:55 3
    - It was trending on twitter today. It's all I can think of for the acronym from now on. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:58 1
      - (KFC has even changed their Twitter handle to it today.) -- nm* - Judge Bane Aug 12, 13:01
    - it's not real -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 12:57

I'm still getting used to Instagram. One thing I don't get: why do people post some the things to their stories and others to their time line -- (edited) - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:47 36
- I hate stories, and try to go through them as fast as humanly possible. I only did my first one yesterday because Biffy Clyro was reposting them. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 13:11
- thanks, gang -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 13:00
- Stories are for people on the mari-ju-ana -- nm - con_carne Aug 12, 12:59
- It really annoys me that this isn't intuitive on the app and I usually don't know to which one I'm posting. -- nm - Max Aug 12, 12:55 11
  - Really? - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:56 10
    - And what's the deal with these TickyTack videos? - David Aug 12, 13:04
    - Did you see them ranting about Spotify earlier? :) -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 12:57 8
      - Yeah, I didn't get that either. :) -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 13:00 7
        
        Some of the annoying stuff, I get why it is the way it is, it's just encouraging a way to listen to music that I hate. Some of it, there's no excuse - Reagen Aug 12, 13:06 6
        
        (I don't even know what a "queue" is on Spotify.) Make a playlist and listen to it, or listen to an album. - JaxSean Aug 12, 13:13 5
        
        Yeah, I listen to albums or playlists. No issues. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 13:16 4
        
        When I click play on an album from the artist page, it loads *every single successive album* from that artist into queue - Reagen Aug 12, 13:22 3
        
        They obviously need a Canadian Spotify, because that's just weird. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 13:46
        
        Huh. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 13:35 1
        
        I realize it's a bit Rob Gordon of me. :) -- nm - Reagen Aug 12, 13:48
- I think one thing disappears after 24 hours? -- nm - Spawn Aug 12, 12:48
- Stories only last for 24 hours -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 12:48 19
  - right, so why post there? It seems most people put the majority of their content in stories -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:49 18
    - Think like Snapchat. That's what they were mimic-ing. -- nm - JaxSean Aug 12, 13:14
    - If you’re trying to tell a story, it works well. You can save highlights if you choose and put them on your profile. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:50 15
      - Right. It's meant for one post to run into the other but people don't often use it that way. It works well with longer videos. - Krusty Aug 12, 12:52
      - I guess that I'm surprised that people don't put more of their content somewhere that isn't so temporary -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:51 13
        
        You can save it to your page so it's viewable by people anytime but yeah, it won't be up top after 24hrs. - Krusty Aug 12, 12:54
        
        snapchat generation -- nm - decline Aug 12, 12:54
        
        It’s more about getting people to engage. Also offers a LOT more room for creativity. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:53 1
        
        Yup. You can add polls, question boxes and other things to engage with your friends and audience. You can do more in stories than you can in - Krusty Aug 12, 12:56
        
        Weird thing for me is I almost never look at stories. I think I've clicked into them maybe 3 times ever. -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 12:52 8
        
        this maybe explains my other question, which is why some people post the same content in both places -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:55 4
        
        There's also a weird thing (I think) that people can see if you clicked into their story. In the back of my head I don't want people to know when I'm - oblique Aug 12, 12:56 3
        
        Do you not click like on photos either so they don't know you were looking? -- nm - Krusty Aug 12, 13:00 1
        
        Sure. If I like it. But that's different. I can't even view the story without someone knowing. It's weird. -- nm - oblique Aug 12, 13:01
        
        huh. really? that's weird -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:57
        
        I love them. -- nm - Judge Bane Aug 12, 12:54
        
        I'd say the story:profile content ratio is at least 4:1 -- nm - prayformojo Aug 12, 12:53 1
        
        I also don't ever have audio on with my phone so I totally don't understand stories, snapchat, and tiktok where audio is supposed to be prevalent - oblique Aug 12, 12:54
    - It's basically snapchat. It's supposed to be for quick content, meme-y type things. -- (edited) - oblique Aug 12, 12:50
