Apparently, the Commission for the Preservation of America’s Heritage Abroad is a thing that exists and is now headed by a racist - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 18, 13:46
This is not unexpected. -- (link) - 🦃 TWuG 🚀 Nov 18, 13:38
California Medical Association officials were among the guests seated next to Gov. Gavin Newsom at the dinner party -- (link*) - budice Nov 18, 13:32 20
- honestly, they are all jerks for doing it. I hate giving the anti-maskers this type of ammo. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 13:34 19
  - Agreed -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 18, 14:05
  - Agreed, though it was outside and that seems not as bad? -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:35 17
    - wasn't it only SORT OF outside? they closed off the plastic sides? And, honestly, you can't tell people to stay home and then do that crap. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 13:37 15
      - We have a ton of outdoor tents set up by restaurants here. They're basically indoor dining at this point being all "sealed" up and such from the cold - oblique Nov 18, 13:40 13
        
        I see different kinds. Some of the tents are closed but they do have some opening at the ground level and are not airtight. I would expect those to - pmb Nov 18, 13:45 2
        
        I'm waiting for the inevitable tent that goes up in flames because of the use of those propane heaters -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 13:46 1
        
        That seems unhealthy too. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 13:54
        
        these people were obvs not bubbled together though. those pods are nice for bubbled people. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 18, 13:41 7
        
        We've never really had rules on dining only with your bubble. People just go out to eat with whoever they want -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 13:42 6
        
        Gee. That seems great. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 13:43 5
        
        This is they kind of stuff we have. It was fine with me when the sides were open and the wind blowing in the fall but now... -- (link*) - oblique Nov 18, 13:44 [Image] 4
        
        Yeah, that seems pretty sealed. I'm seeing more of these. -- (link) - pmb Nov 18, 13:53 2

        yeah, we have those too (indoor dining is currently verboten.) I won't go to one. I would go to a space with PRIVATE spaces like that though, probably -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 13:46
        
        I've noticed a few of those around here and I'm curious how they pass the 'rules'. - ty97 Nov 18, 13:41 1
        
        Dave's birthday is in December - we might go here "Snow Globe" dining.... -- (link) - Andie Nov 18, 13:43
      - oh I agree! -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:38
    - it was outside ish. they wound up closing the doors, though, bc they were so noisy. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 18, 13:36
Google Pay getting a major redesign. Banking integrations -- (link) - oblique Nov 18, 13:29 2
- Yes because google is exactly the company I want my bank to be linked with when they get bored and shutter the service. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 13:34 1
  - Right? They can't even handle people ordering Pixel phones from them. If FedEx steals your phone, Google seems to go out of the way to not help you. - sycor Nov 18, 13:49

Welcome to Barrow, Top of the world! Next sunrise on Jan 22nd -- (link) - decline Nov 18, 13:02 8
- I kind of want to go to Barrow to see the sunset and maybe a few days of darkness just to experience it. I'm not staying the entire time though. - sycor Nov 18, 13:24 1

Amazing what the knowledge of 9 days of vacation does for ones mental outlook -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 12:53 2
- PSA: for those of you still Working from Home, taking days off takes a lot more mental discipline than days off in the past. - Strongbad Nov 18, 13:01
- *tries to look forward to his 2 days... fails* -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 18, 12:59
I don't know what went wrong but that tree at Rockefeller this year looks terrible. It was beautiful before they trucked it down to the city. -- (link) - Krusty Nov 18, 12:51 17
- "Where'd you get that tree?" "It fell off a truck. It literally had fallen off a truck and we were like hey, no upstate drive needed..." -- nm - the mob aint what it used to be Nov 18, 13:30
- I'm wondering if part of it is from being wrapped. Also though, they stood it up in the scaffolding before those storms came through the other night. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:25 1
  - (I think that pic might be from before the storms though?) -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 13:26
- reminds me of Prep and Landing -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 13:08
- are we sure that's the same tree? it looks smaller at the house. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:56 2
  - I think the loss of the bottom leaves and branches makes it look different as well as just different distances and such for each pic -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 12:59
  - spoiler - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 18, 12:57
- Did they.... just nab someone's tree from their yard? -- nm* - Reagen Nov 18, 12:53 3
  - THey're New Yorkers. Of course that's how they do it! -- nm - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 18, 13:20 1
    - Dude. New Yorkers have no yards. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 14:19
  - Yup. That's how they do it every year. There's a guy who goes upstate and scouts for trees years in advance. After they pick one and the owner - Krusty Nov 18, 12:56
- Could the Rockefeller Center Christmas Tree *BE* wearing any less clothes?? -- (link*) Posted by Max Nov 17 '20, 18:47 -- nm - 🦃Spawn🦃 Nov 18, 12:53 1

    - The Mets can push the price on him and force us to possibly pay more for him. I guess you don't need him but it's hard to pass up the - Krusty Nov 18, 13:06 3
      - Don't get me wrong, DJ is a fine player who has thrived in that yankee lineup. - musubi Nov 18, 13:10 2
        
        They're all younger than DJ as well so not worth moving one of them for him. We both need to focus on pitching but I still want DJ in pinstripes. - Krusty Nov 18, 13:17 1
        
        They have Sandy. I have the utmost faith in Sandy. - musubi Nov 18, 13:31

      - tim-mie -- nm - Tebow Nov 18, 12:51
  - Please Jebus, No! - Krusty Nov 18, 12:42 13
    - The Mets have a glut of infielders, signing DJL would be a headscratcher. - musubi Nov 18, 12:59 11
      - Tanaka as a third starter would be a good piece. He can possibly be a #2 -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 13:07 10
        
        Tanaka, Taijuan Walker and Charlie Morton are the guys I hope the mets sign. - musubi Nov 18, 13:19 9
        
        It must be nice to have hope. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 13:27 8

        This was a great season for that team, it's an absolute shame of an off season so far. - musubi Nov 18, 13:36 5
        
        I’ll be honest, Cohen buying the Mets put us alone on dysfunction island. Feels bad, man. - spamlet Nov 18, 13:41 3
        
        Reinsdorf was one of the ones who voted against Cohen. - musubi Nov 18, 13:48 2
        
        That’s cause he’s a cheap asshole. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 13:51 1
        
        "cheap" is probably unnecessary modifier - musubi Nov 18, 13:53

  - Mets also owe him $24 million in both 2022 and 2023. -- nm - budice Nov 18, 12:35 5
    - Maybe they will pay him $1M a year for the next 100 years. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 18, 12:52
    - I’m sure they can figure out how to void the contract. -- nm - Tim Nov 18, 12:36 3
      - 38yo, towards end of a playing career. Someone willing to offer $20M, how many players would be willing to take the needle. -- (edited) - budice Nov 18, 12:37 2
        
        He was chasing the 2 b HR record that Jeff Kent holds. - musubi Nov 18, 13:00
