Reminder: Miami owns Houston's first and second round picks this year. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:22 6
- I should have given them our 3rd, 4th and 5th too! -- nm - Bill O'Brian GM Extraordinaire Oct 18, 13:31 1
  - he tried, but we were afraid the other teams would veto the trade! -- nm - Miami GM Oct 18, 13:42
- Read an article this morning about what a HOU firesale before the trade deadline might look like. - Strongbad Oct 18, 13:23 3
  - so....like 2 guys then? -- nm - Boooooker Oct 18, 13:26 2
    - Fuller and Cooks would get them a draft pick. They have a few defensive pieces like McKinney. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 13:27 1
      - Fuller just pulled a hammy when you mentioned him :) -- nm - Booooker Oct 18, 13:29
HOU, TEN, MIN, CLE DEF -25 -- nm* - Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 18, 13:13 1
- Coming into today's game, Atlanta was averaging 24.4 points per game. We were tied for 21st. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:14
I'm not used to watching a QB have that little pocket awareness. 3 of those sacks were very avoidable. -- nm - Diva Oct 18, 13:00
Either I’m bad at math or just confused as to why Houston went for 2. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 12:56 8
- Well, it cost them the game. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:18
- It would have put them up two scores. I hate it, but I understand the logic. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 18, 12:58 6
  - As opposed to forcing the opponent to have to score and go for 2 to tie? I suppose it’s a strategy. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 13:00 5
    - The logic is the HC thinks % of his offense scoring 2 is greater than the chance of his defense preventing TEN from driving the length of the field. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 13:25
    - The assumption is that they wouldn't go for two if only down seven. -- nm - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:03 3
      - Right. But they would have had to if they were down 8. Now it only took an extra point to send it into OT. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 13:07 2
        
        Like I said, I hate it, but he went for the win. And he made the right call about Tennessee playing to tie rather than win. - New, Better David Oct 18, 13:11
        
        agreed, as per davids explanation -- nm* - Bud S. Pumpkins 🎃 Oct 18, 13:11

Oh, joy. Someone signed up my work email for some sort of conservative email list. - spamlet Oct 18, 11:43 6
- I got that from someone in Michigan that doesn't know their email address - Reagen Oct 18, 11:45 5
  - That's the issue. I'm afraid if I try to unsubscribe from the Trump stuff it will just verify the email like old time spammers. - spamlet Oct 18, 12:10 4
    - If it's gmail, block the sender. It'll signal the system and impact the sender's reliability score. -- nm* - New, Better David Oct 18, 12:41 1
      - It’s not it’s our own exchange server sadly. -- nm - spamlet Oct 18, 13:00
    - Unsubscribing from one list doesn’t stop them from putting you on another. I’ve stopped even trying to unsubscribe from ancestry.com. -- nm - znoooooooo!!! Oct 18, 12:24
    - They're technically not spam? That's why I felt it might not do what you're describing - Reagen Oct 18, 12:19
Another museum tour this afternoon. Wonder if it's worth opening up? :/ -- nm - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 18, 11:43

TIL - most LED light bulbs can't be used in garage door openers. The installer wouldn't use the ones I had on hand and we had to scavenge one that - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 18, 11:21 3
- Hmm. Have them in mine. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Oct 18, 11:25 1
  - Seems you have to look for ones that are specially shielded against the IR signal. -- nm - 👻MonsterMeg💀 Oct 18, 11:26
- Yeah, the field the LEDs produce apparently interfere with the signal the opener uses. -- nm - 🕸 TWuG 🚀 Oct 18, 11:24
Can't be bothered to care any more. These iPhone ads I'm seeing... are they the new iPhone announced last week or the previous iPhone? Does it matter? -- nm - 🧹 Broom 🧹 Oct 18, 11:18 11
- I may have bought one. I’m blaming David if I did. -- nm - Qale Oct 18, 14:18
- They're focusing on 5G because all 5G to date has been a lie. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 18, 11:20 9
  - They're focusing on 5G because the carriers have a network to sell and you won't get pushed without it. - spamlet Oct 18, 11:44 2
    - 5G speeds are insanely irrelevant with a 6GB data cap - Reagen Oct 18, 11:51 1
      - Right now it doesn't matter. 5G networks are generally *slower* in the US than LTE. In the best case scenario it's maybe 20% faster. - spamlet Oct 18, 12:13
  - 5G for $5Gs -- nm - ⏲👻 Oct 18, 11:33 1

  - I oppose it on principle, even though I do not mourn for Timothy McVeigh or other individuals. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 11:21
- Federal executions have not taken place in nearly 20 years, but Ms. Montgomery’s would be the ninth federal execution since they resumed in July. -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 11:18 2
  - Trump and Barr are way more execution happy than a former governor of Texas -- nm - crash davis Oct 18, 11:19 1
    - I'm surprised donny isn't talking about it constantly on his campaign, seems like something trumpers would be all for -- nm - ⏲👻 Oct 18, 11:39

Flush With Cash, Biden Eclipses Trump in War for the Airwaves - crash davis Oct 18, 11:00 9
- I was happy to see a Biden ad during Helstrom (Hulu). -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Oct 18, 11:29
- Dollar spend shows how healthy the coffers are, but I'd find it more informative to see ad minutes per viewer instead of $ or # of ads. - Max Oct 18, 11:19
- Apparently the Biden campaign has a Brewster’s Millions problem right now that they’re having a hard time spending all of the cash they have on hand. -- nm - Dano Oct 18, 11:15 3
  - I had that thought last month, that campaigns are basically that same setup. -- nm - Graveman ⚰️💀 Oct 18, 12:32
  - Join Lou Williams and make it rain. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 18, 12:13
