  - I really enjoyed Perry Mason and I do want some more -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 19:32 3
    - I got three episodes in and it was far too bleak for what I needed at the time. Maybe I'll try it again. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 22, 19:37 2
      - We stopped at three episodes too. Bleak but also sort of boring. Couldn't they have done one mystery per episode? - MDH Sep 22, 21:04
      - It took its sweet time scene setting and waiting for it to kick in, I'll grant you that. -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 19:40

looking at Entertainment headlines in my news feed, I see Ellen had to apologize for something.....do I need to care what this was about? -- nm - crash davis Sep 22, 19:13 7
- to be fair, she wasn't the one doing the toxic shit, 3 producers got fired, her DJ on set got promoted to replace one -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 22, 20:07 1
  - She's pretty toxic. I have a friend who worked on that show. She left a great job at NBC/Universal where she had won a couple of Emmys to go there. - jnine Sep 22, 22:40
- It’s a pretty big deal. Her show had a toxic work environment. -- nm - David Sep 22, 19:14 4

    - Guys, I really appreciate you answering me and giving me the deets. You're the best. But I'm gonna give this one Melania jacket :) - crash davis Sep 22, 19:24
Watching the Inside the Bubble stuff on NBCSN. There’s a hockey player making cookies for his team with maple syrup and Robin Hood flour. - Mopsy Sep 22, 19:10 3
- maple syrup is a great substitute for sugar in most recipes -- nm - Peglegpete Sep 22, 19:46

- KC in Dec.? -- nm - mud Sep 22, 19:07 5
  - Nah, last time I did that we had a snow storm :) I plan to stay within driving distance. -- nm - Meg Sep 22, 19:13 4
    - I’m pretty sure having snow at Christmas is the underlying premise for a number of movies. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 22, 19:13 3
      - It’s 2020. There’s a good chance Meg will have snow for Christmas there. -- nm - Dano Sep 22, 19:16
      - It's a novelty for a day or so, but then it freezes and walking anywhere is a risk. I've lived that, I'm too old for it now. -- nm - Meg Sep 22, 19:16 1
        
        That’s why they cut that 5th verse from White Christmas. -- nm - Mopsy Sep 22, 19:24

        I don’t think anyone hasn’t made up their mind on Trump. I think there are those that haven’t decided if they will vote. - spamlet Sep 22, 18:19

So at the risk inciting Hunting's ire, it seems to me that the PGA created their own problem that DeChambeau exploited -- (edited) - JD Sep 22, 17:40 9

  - Make the par 4’s 310 yards with trouble long and sides. - Will Hunting Sep 22, 18:19 1
    - You can make use of inclination, break down fairways, do what you said. One of the most famous Par 3's in The Open rotation is 100yds. Pebble Beach - Marlowe Sep 22, 18:39
- Oh and if they really wanted to DeChambeau proof things, they should institute a shot clock, er, swing clock? Stroke clock kind of sounds dirty -- nm - JD Sep 22, 17:46 4
  - yeah, watching him is brutal -- nm - Beaker Sep 22, 17:51
  - They have one. They never use it unless you’re an amateur they can penalize. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 22, 17:48 2
    - Then they should enforce it. I mean isn't this the sport that pros routinely call penalties on themselves? -- nm - JD Sep 22, 17:54 1
      - Part of the problem for them is if they do call it, the players get pissy and then they start looking elsewhere. There is nothing to - Will Hunting Sep 22, 18:03
