- You need to do what is right for you and Diet Dr. Pepper tells me that I have no frame of reference as to what that might be. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 07:17

  - Right? - znufrii Nov 13, 06:57 3
    - A couple months ago, I saw something about a grade across a PA mountain pass that was essentially built entirely by hand by Irish labor. - crash davis Nov 13, 07:02 2
      - Neat. Will have to look that up. - znufrii Nov 13, 07:03 1
        
        It was nerdy useless information, so I'm guessing I got it from PBS? -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 07:05

- Shocker! -- nm - Strongbad Nov 13, 06:35
- In other news, water is wet. -- nm - MDH Nov 13, 06:35
- 9 months into this and they're telling us things we already know. - Krusty Nov 13, 06:34 7
  - CDC itself is fine. This is aimed at the maskholes who say their "choice" to not wear one affects only themselves. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 06:36 6
    - I'm sorry but in my eyes they're not fine. I don't feel like they've done even a decent job during this pandemic and have allowed politics to - Krusty Nov 13, 06:43 5
      - They've been hijacked by you know who. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 07:12
      - Agreed. The rank and file science folks and egg-heads got their reputation shattered by the folks at the top cow-towing to the White House. - Qale Nov 13, 07:03 3
        
        It hasn't affected their science. that's separate from the public facing side, which has been hijacked. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 07:12 2
        
        I agree. But how do you get people to trust their science when their public facing side was compromised before and now will feel partisan for while? -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 07:13 1
        
        Agreed. That's the real damage he did. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 07:16

- Yes. Crazy. Crazy that you don't have it already. -- nm - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 13, 06:01
- We have it but rarely use it even without a garage. We’re close to two highways though and every year cars get stolen warming up. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 05:55 2
  - Does the remote unlock the car as well? I may change my mind. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 05:59 1
    - Depends on how it works. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 06:12

US will pass 11million today -- nm - prayformojo Nov 13, 05:29 5
- it is so weird. Here in Canada the Provincial Govt's in power during the pandemic have been destroying in their elections while Trump is out - Beaker Nov 13, 06:02 1
  - I've kind of come to the conclusion that the effect on the US election was a wash, scarily enough - Reagen Nov 13, 06:09
- Thanks, Biden -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 05:42 1
  - IKR, he never did anything specifically to address Covid-19 when he served with Obama. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 05:44

Watching Morning Joe, it is becoming apparent that Tommy Tuberville is going to be the gift that keeps on giving. -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 05:03 3
- Just reading about this. Rocks are smarter than this guy -- nm - decline Nov 13, 06:21
- I mean he’s just a simple football coac... oh, right. -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 05:06 1
  - Evidently he is a genius who knows things I do not. For example, Al Gore was actually president for 30 days until SCOTUS took it away from him. I did not know that! -- nm* - crash davis Nov 13, 05:09
I'm not going to make a big deal of it but DJ LeMahieu was more valuable to his team than either Abreu or Ramirez. -- nm - Krusty Nov 13, 05:00 2
- I honestly doubt it. Abreu is basically a dad to all the kids on the team and was top 5 in the league in most offensive categories. - spamlet Nov 13, 05:06 1
  - He's deserving of the award and I'm not trying to say he didn't earn it. If it's all about stats then Trout should win every year. - Krusty Nov 13, 05:14
Johnny Depp should give his PR people a bonus. Both daughters refuse to watch Aquaman cause Amber Heard is in it -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 04:56 2
- I fully support the idea of not watching any more Beasts... movies either. Not because he was let go, but because they are Beasts... movies. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 07:08
- That's among the several reasons they shouldn't. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 05:09

- If they ask you anything about the 100 Years War, I'm going to get you those sneakers. - crash davis Nov 13, 04:58 3
  - Ha! I'm guessing you spent last night watching some doc about the war. The question will likely be about something related to Thanksgiving. - Krusty Nov 13, 05:02 2
    - Actually went to bed early last night. It is just an obscure subject that fascinates me. I'll try to be up early tomorrow and on my Thanksgiving game -- nm - crash davis Nov 13, 05:05 1

Other filmmakers have bitched at Chris Nolan about his sound design -- (link) - Reagen Nov 13, 03:11 10
- Chris, look at it this way. Remember the end of Lost in Translation where everyone wanted to know what Bill Murray said? - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 13, 07:05
- I feel his comments suggest he just doesn't get it. -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 05:42
- It's conservative to want to understand what's being discussed in the scene? Maybe he should do music videos. -- nm - Krusty Nov 13, 04:17 6
  - Conservative as in “this is the way it’s always been done”. He thinks he’s breaking boundaries. - spamlet Nov 13, 04:51 3
    - Quentin seems to function well enough to know we should hear the dialogue. - Krusty Nov 13, 05:07 2

        Ha! -- nm - Krusty Nov 13, 05:16
  - There's times when I wonder if he has some, like, benign sociopathic personality disorder. -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 04:33 1
    - It's called being a stubborn ass. -- nm - Krusty Nov 13, 04:39
