- we drove through a massive* trump roadside rally this weekend and I actually felt uncomf at being in the presence of so much ignorance. - amanda Sep 21, 10:15 2
  - It's not a sure thing, but my area is closer to purple than your area and it's noticeably more Biden and less Trump than it was in 2016. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 10:37
  - There was probably a shy Trump voter effect in 2016. They’re not shy anymore. I think there’s a small shy Biden voter effect in some places. -- nm - Tim Sep 21, 10:21

Lmao ... that conference that contacted me a few weeks ago about in-person speaking in Montreal in February just emailed to say they are going hybrid. - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:04 1
- Now, if I were considering such an engagement (which I kind of am, but mostly am not) what would I talk about, I wonder? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 21, 10:05
I pay for ad free peacock and I think it's well worth the net $5 per month I pay. there is *so much* content. -- nm - amanda Sep 21, 10:01 8
- I really couldn't find that much on there other than a bunch of old movies I'd like to see, like Abbott and Costello stuff. -- nm - sycor Sep 21, 10:04 3

It's been a heck of a weekend. My car died so I had to buy a new one. Got moved this weekend while dealing with that. Now just have a few odds and -- (edited) - sycor Sep 21, 09:56 8
- back to work after a week of staycation. This desk is a dumpster fire. - Epiphany -Therapist of Shock Sep 21, 09:57 7
  - That's what I keep telling myself. At least I had the money for a new car, at least I have a job, at least I have the luxury to move to a larger place - sycor Sep 21, 10:00 6
    - 8-) What's the car? -- nm - JD Sep 21, 10:02 5

        Nice. While timing could have definitely been better, it might have just been the Accord's time -- nm - JD Sep 21, 10:06 1
        
        Yeah. 12 years old, had an oil leak, and then the starter went out. No point in trying to save it. - sycor Sep 21, 10:23

Spawn's best gift came from the Colts. - crash davis Sep 21, 09:43
NeverTrumpers are skewering Mueller after a new book's come out indicating his missteps during the investigation. -- (link) - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:36 6
- Mueller is a man of rules and regulations. The instructions he was given set him up for failure. -- nm - crash davis Sep 21, 09:45 4
  - While I think that was true to an extent, I still think he was a coward for not being clear on what they meant in their report. They wanted people to - pmb Sep 21, 09:53 3
    - "clearly Senate Republicans will be as troubled by these allegations as I... Why are you bringing in those shredders?" -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 10:02
    - Sometimes,when I can set aside my anger and disbelief,I am amazed at how much of our society depends on norms,customs,unwritten rules,etc. - crash davis Sep 21, 10:02 1
      - Yes. But there was no reason not to state conclusions. They didn't. They just implied them. That was always going to be a recipe for disaster. -- nm - pmb Sep 21, 11:28
- Mistakes were made. -- nm - Mueller Sep 21, 09:39
Hmm, haven't seen this version yet. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 21, 09:33 [youtube]
if you had "need new pilot light assembly; cats pissed for two more weeks" in the sage of my fireplace, you win! - amanda Sep 21, 09:31 6 1
- Can't you light it manually in the meantime? Or is safety interlocked or something so it is fundamental to the operation of the fireplace? - JD Sep 21, 09:43 2
  - it's child-proofed. it won't fully ignite without the glass shield being on and safety-connected. -- nm - amanda Sep 21, 09:45 1
    - just drill a small hole in the safety glass you can stick a match through -- nm* - decline Sep 21, 09:48
- didn't you just have that fireplace installed like a year or two ago? -- nm - decline Sep 21, 09:37 1
  - it's been four years. it's under warranty. just a pain in the ass. -- nm - amanda Sep 21, 09:42
- Achoo, lady. Achoo I say. -- nm - Max Sep 21, 09:32
CDC says it erroneously posted guidance that said coronavirus spreads through air and and travel beyond six feet -- (link) - budice Sep 21, 09:25 9
- CDC in a week: We erroneously reported the existence of the Coronavirus. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 09:32
- At this point can we trust anything come out of these agencies? - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 21, 09:30 6
  - They have been compromised to protect one dude. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:04
  - isn't that a terrible way to feel? -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 10:00 3
    - It scares the shit out of me. What happens when the next public health crisis hits, even if Trump loses? - loosilu Sep 21, 10:05 2
      - The thing is, if there is NO source that is both scientific and trustworthy, that leaves things wide open for people to disbelieve everything. -- nm - Andie Sep 21, 10:14 1
        
        Yup -- nm - Krusty The Anarchist Sep 21, 10:19
  - Fuck No. -- nm - Epiphany -Therapist of Shock Sep 21, 09:57
- "Sir, this is what the science says." "But their panics." -- nm - Max Sep 21, 09:27

- just go full haz-mat suit -- nm - decline Sep 21, 09:26 3
  - like so -- (link) - budice Sep 21, 09:28 2
    - I'd wear one of these if I could go to a concert -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 09:30 1
      - I am sure it would make it sound *awesome*. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:31
- You’re really wearing goggles... -- nm - MDH Sep 21, 09:26 3
  - He does live in Florida. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:08
  - Yup -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 09:27 1

    - You got the Falcons to please me, but mud got two of my favorite actors together. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:25
  - props to mara for the tweet -- nm - mud Sep 21, 09:20 1
    - :-) -- nm - mara Sep 21, 09:40
Bery, billionaire Ron Perelman is apparently strapped for cash and is selling a bunch of stuff, including his yacht - you can probably get it for a steal -- (link*) - decline Sep 21, 09:16 3
- A very nice yacht, but I think I'll pass on it at this time. -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 21, 09:19
- Wow, losing Hellboy must have been harder on him than I thought. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:17 1
  - I had the same thought -- nm - crash davis Sep 21, 09:29
I hadn't realized the parent company to Bethesda had bought id Software. That explains Prey, Doom, Quake, and Wolfenstein. - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:14 2
- Prey Doom Quake is the sequel to Eat Pray Love. -- nm - Spawn Sep 21, 09:15 1
  - One I would watch. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:18
RB Christian McCaffrey is out 4-6 weeks with a high-ankle sprain. This is following his MRI. -- nm* - budice Sep 21, 09:10
So why would I need the new Xbox/PS5? - JaxSean Sep 21, 09:10 10
- Personally, I'm more likely to get a new GCU than a new console. -- (edited) - Marlowe Sep 21, 09:50
- he next Forza will be new-gen/PC only. The new Xbox has 3D spatial sound as a feature, but I don't know if that's all games. -- nm - Max Sep 21, 09:24
- as with all previous consoles eventually there will be games that are exclusive to the new gen -- nm - decline Sep 21, 09:13
- There aren't a lot of PS5/XSX exclusives at the moment, to be honest. Unless you really want the new hardware, hold off for a bit. - Shaun Sep 21, 09:13 3
  - this is what I'm doing. I'm not gonna stress over trying to get one - decline Sep 21, 09:14 2
    - yeah, definitely after the new year (this should be below) -- (edited) - decline Sep 21, 09:25
    - Yeah, if you're not keen on early adopting, just wait til Q4 2021 or next summer or whenever. -- nm* - Shaun Sep 21, 09:17
- In a console generation, virtually all releases become exclusive to the upgraded system(s) after two or three years. - New, Better David Sep 21, 09:13 1
  - Cool. I'm usually a year or two behind and wait for a decent sale, so sounds like this is the plan again. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 09:16
- If you have an Xbox, you don't. All the new Xbox games should play on the old Xbox, although at lower resolutions. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:12
Saquon: Torn ACL - season over. -- (link) - Shaun Sep 21, 09:08
If not for the creepy carvings that would summon the undead, I'd love to live in that house. -- nm - New, Better David Sep 21, 08:57 3
- sand em off. They suck. -- nm - loosilu Sep 21, 10:07
- I love it. -- nm - Judge Bane Sep 21, 09:41

Streaming Into the Void episode 9, wherein we advocate breaking down the walls built on lies that are subscriber numbers!!! -- (link) - Mopsy Sep 21, 08:56 1

- Behold, my powers!!! -- (link) - Spawn Sep 21, 08:59 2
  - Well, there went any chance of your getting birthday wishes from me... -- nm - New, Better David Sep 21, 09:01 1
    - In my defense, I ALWAYS hope for these to succeed. - Spawn Sep 21, 09:02
Its a sad day in the Disney house. Its now cold enough in our house that we needed to turn the heat on. Pray for us :( -- nm - Walt_Disney Sep 21, 08:56 4
- I refuse. It's warmed up to 63 in my house so far today. -- nm - Dano Sep 21, 09:07
- mine kicked in last night -- nm - decline Sep 21, 09:07
- You can always put more clothes on. But you can never take more than what you’re wearing off. -- nm - Qale Sep 21, 08:59
- We've had ours on for a few days :( -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 08:58
Alan Alda, folks. -- (link) - Mopsy Sep 21, 08:55 2
- I bet RGB's ERA for the 1970s would make Greg Maddux jealous. -- nm - Inigo Sep 21, 09:20
- You scared me for a moment. - Spawn Sep 21, 08:57
It was student move-in this weekend on campus. 1697 students tested. 26 confirmed COVID-19 cases. - Mopsy Sep 21, 08:51 2
- ha ha ha have you seen Penn State's numbers? Our curve is a hockey stick. -- nm - amanda Sep 21, 09:14 1
  - Yeah, well, give us a minute to have some unsanctioned frat parties! -- nm - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:14
So we went to the NASCAR races at Bristol, TN, this weekend. Three observances/things. - JaxSean Sep 21, 08:43 5
- It’s B. No one cared about Bubba enough to boo him prior. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 21, 09:40 2
  - Yep. -- nm - Judge Bane Sep 21, 09:43
  - Yeah, apparently they cheered when he crashed too. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 21, 09:41
- Were they successful in banning the Confederate flag? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 21, 08:49 1
  - I didn't see it anywhere. - JaxSean Sep 21, 08:54
ty is an Antichrist. ty is an anarchist. Don't know what he wants but he knows how to get it. He wanna destroy the passerby. - Spawn Sep 21, 08:36 3
- ty? - - I bet this is a NYC ref -- nm* - mud Sep 21, 08:39 2
  - I have never wanted to live in NYC before, but an official Anarchist Jurisdiction? - Spawn Sep 21, 09:04 1
    - sex-ay -- nm - mud Sep 21, 09:08
Bery, thanks for sharing that link. That's *FANTASTIC*! This guy's been doing it for years! -- (link) - Mopsy Sep 21, 08:32
Here's the Xbox console preorder article with link to All Access upgrade info. Also, Taco Bell is starting a promo this week to win one. -- (link) - Max Sep 21, 08:24 11
- Yeah, I read all that info but my issue is that it will sell out before you can go through the steps to get approved for the payment plan. - Krusty Sep 21, 08:31 10
  - There's probably a batch of them set aside for XAA. Scalpers/bots aren't in the market for these, I would assume. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 08:48 5
    - I like what I'm hearing here now. You three have given me more hope. Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 08:51 4
      - It makes sense those are kinda bot proof -- nm - eag Sep 21, 08:55 3
        
        Bots are the bane of my existence. They've ruined sneaker collecting for me and many others. They will ruin gaming if given the chance. See what they - Krusty Sep 21, 09:06 2
        
        bots would go away right quick if people just stopped buying products for more than the retail price on secondary sites -- nm - decline Sep 21, 09:09 1
        
        Preach! People need to have the latest and most hyped items so they pay whatever it costs. - Krusty Sep 21, 09:19
  - The Walmart form for the existing One S has a top of page notice that your XBox All Access console is being held for 15 minutes - JD Sep 21, 08:46 1
    - Hmmm...good to know. Thanks! I didn't see that on Target or Best Buy. - Krusty Sep 21, 08:50
  - I'm guessing they might hold some back for those who are doing the payment plan - eag Sep 21, 08:44 1
    - I doubt it but I gotta hope they do -- nm - Krusty Sep 21, 08:49
Bethesda news is big. I will be disappointed if Starfield shifts to XBOX exclusive. -- nm - Strongbad Sep 21, 08:21 5
- I figure Microsoft was going to drop some coin on Bungie and then decided that they get more from Bethesda. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 21, 09:11
- I would be surprised if any big titles shift to exclusive, but we will see -- nm - decline Sep 21, 08:31 3
  - huh. Phil Spencer has said Microsoft will honour the PS5 exclusivity agreed for Deathloop and Ghostwire: Tokyo, and future Bethesda games will appear - decline Sep 21, 08:35 2
    - Yup. It's a great acquisition to gain Game Pass subs, but they aren't dumb enough to give the middle finger to 125M gamers. -- nm - Shaun Sep 21, 08:45 1
      - Phill has no problem with spreading and sharing the wealth - eag Sep 21, 09:20
Rasmussen is crazy. Given that, their last Ohio poll had Joe up by four. -- nm - crash davis Sep 21, 08:18 2
- A Rasmussen +4 is a Real World +10. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 21, 08:28 1
  - Although it seems to be just their national polls that are crazballs. -- nm - Reagen Sep 21, 09:29
