ST DML: Quarantine Hotel Edition - ty97 Nov 19, 06:50 25
- Personally it comes down to your use of the kitchen. - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:56 2
  - oh I should be clear. Both rooms have the kitchen. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 06:57 1
    - Sorry, I misread. I'd definitely pick studio. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 06:58
- King size bed... -- nm - zunkskunk+ Nov 19, 06:56 1
  - I’m used to sleeping in a queen with my wife and two dogs. Even when I have a king it does me no good. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 06:57
- Treat yourself. -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 06:53
- I'd go with the 1bd room. I want the space to move around and I like sleeping in a separate room from the one I just spent the whole day. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:52 9
  - This is certainly my approach to apartments, I needed a 1BR since I WFH, but the hotel is only for two weeks. -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 06:54 8
    - Two weeks in one room is not ideal, for me, but if you think you'll be comfortable then go for the savings. - Krusty Nov 19, 06:56 3
      - he's in florida. he can go outside. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 19, 06:56 2
        
        He's quarantining in the hotel. I don't think going outside is an option -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:57 1
        
        It's a personal choice quarantine, so I won't be locked down in the hotel 24/7. I'll have a rental car - ty97 Nov 19, 07:01
    - do you still have a sitting area for TV and one for dining? if so, studio. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 19, 06:56 3
      - View from next to bed -- (pic) - ty97 Nov 19, 07:00 [Attachment] 2
        
        I’ve stayed in enough Marriotts to immediately recognize that room. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 07:12
        
        that's the studio, and you can go outside whenever? save the $$, take the studio. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 07:05
- What hotel? And I'd save the $280. But I'm also cheap. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Nov 19, 06:52 6
  - and yeah it's 280 + tax, so it adds up -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 06:55
  - It's a TownePlace Suites by Marriott -- nm - ty97 Nov 19, 06:54 4
    - Bruh - you just said the M word. I can't believe it. nm -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Nov 19, 06:58
    - Just built within the past few years so great condition. - ty97 Nov 19, 06:54 2
      - Clearly the IM is why you picked it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 19, 06:55 1
        
        I primarily picked the hotel back in June because it was the only suite hotel in the area I could find with an *actual* kitchen. - ty97 Nov 19, 06:57
- studio -- nm - decline Nov 19, 06:51
- can I get photos? -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 19, 06:51
*breathlessly runs in from 20+ boards back* "The Snyder cut is just 4 additional minutes of cat's buttholes!" ... *runs out* -- nm - rollo Nov 19, 06:47 1
First Trailer for Chaos Walking with Spiderman and Rey -- (link) - decline Nov 19, 06:37 2
- Pretty cool concept. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 19, 06:48
- So many Brits in that stealing American jobs. :P Oh, and also Nick Jonas. -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 19, 06:45
Meanwhile in Asia: Tokyo set a new record of 534 daily cases of Coronavirus since the start of the pandemic -- (link*) - budice Nov 19, 06:37
The two Wayne Co canvassers rescinded after Trump called them? - mara Nov 19, 06:29 5
- We may need to poll on how many states file criminal charges against him. - Will Hunting Nov 19, 06:50
- I read it's too late. The certification has already been sent to the state -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:46 1
  - Yeah, well, the next step is for the statewide Board of Canvassers, which similarly has 2 Democrats and 2 Republicans, to decide whether to certify. -- nm - mara Nov 19, 07:03
- I believe the official response from the Secretary of State of Michigan should be “tough titties.” That’s a legal term, right? -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 06:44 1
  - Indeed. It's covered in early on in 1L Contracts. -- nm - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 19, 06:48
Anybody looking for Xbox series S currently avaliable at the Microsoft Store -- nm* - eag Nov 19, 06:20
sitwap. Tiny owl found inside Rockefeller Christmas tree. - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 19, 06:17 2
- There's a kid's book in that. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:42
- Couple of solid awwww pics here. Looking no worse for wear. -- (link) - Apple Baron Betty 🥧 Nov 19, 06:32
I'm going to channel Krusty this morning. Because reasons, I'm going to try to get a pair of the Miles Morales Adidas Superstars. -- nm* - Shaun Nov 19, 06:10 17
- 🤞 Can I help out? -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:18 9
  - Probably not. I don't want them bad enough to have to deal with paying for shipping from the US, in the case that you got a pair and I didn't :) - Shaun Nov 19, 06:21 8
    - If you don't get them let me know and I'll ask around about them. - Krusty Nov 19, 06:25 7
      - Cool cool. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:35 6
        
        I'm not seeing a lot of posts about them on sneaker Twitter so I'm thinking you have a good chance to get them. Everyone's talking about - Krusty Nov 19, 06:41 5
        
        Also, prices on StockX are flat so they won't be resold for anything over retail. -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:45 4
        
        And even here in Canada, I have a feeling these aren't super duper in demand. I think I'll be fine. We'll see in 9 minutes. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:51 3
        
        the anticipation is killing me!! -- nm - decline Nov 19, 06:51 2
        
        Ha! -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:52 1
        
        There's also a big release by Nike at 10 so people will be mostly going for those as they'll resell for at least double their retail price -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 06:54
- where you been, Boo-Boo? Playing video games? -- nm - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 19, 06:12 6
  - Not all the time :) But I do realize my post count has been low recently. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:15 5
    - well, I missed you. There was an entire thread about the Snyder Cut costing too much money, pearls, rain and Martha. - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 19, 06:19 4
      - Also who is going to post Chris Evans info for me? - Pippy Nov 19, 06:22
      - I missed a perfectly good reason to post "DEM. PEARLS?" Dammit. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:20 2
        
        in SLO-MO! - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 19, 06:21 1
        
        I will watch the Snyder Cut and can't wait. Slo-mo...oh man. -- nm - Shaun Nov 19, 06:22
Naya Rivera's ex-husband and estate file wrongful-death suit on behalf of the actress' son -- (link) - oblique Nov 19, 05:58 4
- Money, money MONEY!! -- nm - Pippy Nov 19, 06:09 3
  - I was prepared to knock the suit but it has a reasonable point. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 06:10 2
    - agreed -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 06:23 1
      - I’m jaded as f*ck -- nm - Pippy Nov 19, 06:27

- Cost+ aka World Market -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 19, 12:03
- These are pretty cool. -- (link) - VMan Nov 19, 06:02 2
  - likey. -- nm - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 19, 06:20
  - Those are very unusual. I love them. - Pippy Nov 19, 06:07
- Mmm...ouzo.... -- nm - znufrii Nov 19, 05:44
- Props places like Alfonso's sell this stuff - might be pricey. Or you can make sugar 'candy' glass. (there are recipes on the innernets.) -- nm - Diva🦃🦃🦃 Nov 19, 05:34 1
  - Thanks Doll. - Pippy Nov 19, 06:09
Things are worse than ever from what I'm reading and the NFL is still having fans in stadiums and I'm pretty sure the NBA is going to play -- (edited) - Krusty Nov 19, 05:07 3
- I'm beginning to doubt whether college football is going to make it to the end of their season with an actual championship game. - Strongbad Nov 19, 05:10 2
  - None of this is really surprising considering we never got the virus under control. It's worse than before but we're more open than in the spring -- nm - Krusty Nov 19, 05:31 1
    - I agree. Not surprising. - Strongbad Nov 19, 05:46
TV PSA: NFL, Supernatural (series finale), Jersey Shore, Station 19, Naked and Afraid, Superstore, Young Sheldon, Flip or Flop, B Positive, L&O SVU, -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 04:36 4

- Grey's Anatomy, Total Bellas, Mom, Unicorn, A Million Little Things, Miz & Mrs, Adventure Time: Distant Lands—Obsidian (HBO Max), -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 04:39 2
  - The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Reunion (HBO Max), Star Trek: Discovery (CBS All Access), I Hate Suzie (HBO Max), Gangs Of London (HBO), other stuff -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 04:40 1
    - Wait, wait, wait; Gangs of London is from Gareth Evans (he of The Raid movies)? Now I'm mad I don't think we are getting it here -- (link) - Beaker Nov 19, 04:58
Cheeky newspaper joke, 1922 -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 19, 00:36 1

Mid-pandemic TV is weird (This Is Us, Grey's) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 22:17 4
- Prime hooked me for a month and I'm in the middle of a pretty solid documentary series called Warrior's Way -- (edited) - con_carne Nov 19, 04:02 1
  - oh this sounds interesting. Thanks! -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 05:39
- I watched the pilot episode of Big Sky so y’all don’t have to. Opening scene was interesting and ending scene was unexpected. -- nm - Pippy - Nov 19, 02:02 1
  - So, worth checking out? -- nm - sycor Nov 19, 06:46
Is the new Alex rider series OK for a 10 year old? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 21:52 2
- yeah I think so. no sex or anything and the violence is fairly subdued. a little suspenseful -- nm - Beaker Nov 19, 04:27 1
  - Just don’t accidentally put on Alex Ride Her. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 05:45
So I fired up the PS4 to watch...Cats. That was.. a lot..extra or something - JD Nov 18, 21:33 [youtube] 1
- I think Phantom in L.A. was my first stage show since field trips as a kid in Australia. Bill bought tickets as a birthday surprise. I loved it !! - Megberry Sauce 🦃🥧🏈 Nov 18, 21:45
from Trump's PA court filing: there was no fraud. -- (link) - mafic Nov 18, 21:17 1
- That's an insane document. -- nm - David Nov 19, 05:53
Pretty sure legally this means nothing, but my god what just happened behind the scenes to lead to this? -- (link) - Jovian Nov 18, 21:02 5
- The FOIA requests must be *flying* in -- nm - Strongbad Nov 19, 05:29
- Wait, what? -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 18, 21:16 2
  - A. can they rescind their vote? b. i think it means they can hold off for 10 days to 'recanvas' -- nm - ⌚👻🦃🏈 Nov 18, 21:21
  - oh not what Im saying at all - Jovian Nov 18, 21:20

For David mostly but all are welcome. Another Challenge season is upon us. -- (link) - Volnelk Nov 18, 20:53
30 years ago today, "Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)" by C+C Music Factory was released. -- (link) - Remlik Nov 18, 20:37 [youtube] 2
- That video stands up incredibly well. There’s a number of style choices that are clearly “1990s” but otherwise, that video could have been made today. - Mop Nov 18, 21:13
- I'm just a squirrel, Remlik. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 21:03
Bobby Brown Jr has died at age 28 -- (link) - Remlik Nov 18, 20:29 3

A bit of local pandemic humour -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 18, 19:51 2
- Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 20:16
- :-] -- nm - mud Nov 18, 19:53
I want ice cream but it's so cold in my apartment I'm afraid it would give me hypothermia. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 19:37 4
- It's 68 in the house and I'm all wrapped up. *brr* - JaxSean Nov 18, 19:40 3
  - I have no idea what the temperature is in here but I'm wearing a hoodie with it up and fleece blanket on and I'm still chilly. No heat right now. - Krusty Nov 18, 19:48
  - Is it on the street? -- nm - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 18, 19:47 1
    - I think mostly inside his head. -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 22:25
the cities crash didn't guess in his shotgun approach: Copenhagen(9), Caracas(130), Lusaka(130), Tashkent(132). terribly formatted list inside. - mafic Nov 18, 19:31
The Knicks traded the 27th pick and the 38th pick for the 23rd pick, then traded the 23rd pick for the 25th pick and the 33rd pick. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 19:30 2
- That’s some Volnelk-playing-Madden type of witchcraft there. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 20:20 1
  - Ha! Costner in Draft Day thought it was a slick move -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 20:29
My kid got a new iPhone. That means 1 free year of Apple TV+. I’m coming for you, Ted Lasso! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 19:10 2
- I had a free trial, one week, and I think I already saw all I care to see. - Marlowe Nov 18, 20:47 1
  - Incidentally, for the streaming news crowd, this is the week that Disney + got released in Latin America, I believe. At least here. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 18, 20:48
If a bomb hit Ohio, killed everyone in Cincinnati and made everyone in the state sick, that’s where we are at right now with COVID, nationally. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 19:01 15
- I was just reading a comment that all deaths get reported as COVID even when they're not. - David Nov 18, 19:19 6
  - "He posted, to a website that consists solely of a comments section." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 20:47 1
    - *giggling like a loon* - Pippy - Nov 19, 02:10
  - that's the argument the nutters are taking in the UK. "only 1400/50k didn't have an underlying condition!" - mafic Nov 18, 19:48 1
    - I hate that thinking. -- nm - Andie Nov 19, 06:07
  - That’s a huge right wing talking point. They say it’s a scam so doctors get paid more if it’s a COVID death. -- nm - MDH Nov 18, 19:24 1
    - Yeah! Screw those doctors! We should nationalize all health care so the doctors can’t take advantage of us any more! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 20:04
- I mean...it's just, Cincinnati. So...*shrug* -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 19:13 7
  - Chili immediately improves 73% -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 19:24 2

      - And the AFC North -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 19:29
  - Fine. Madison, WI? Buffalo, NY? -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 19:23 3
    - "dig *up*" -- nm - JaxSean Nov 18, 19:36 2
      - Reno? Jersey City? -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 19:44
      - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 19:38
Two unpopular Star Wars opinions, but no spoilers. (or I hope no spoilers) -- (edited) - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 19:01 20
- The best line in Star wars wasn't from a movie or TV show but from a comicbook. - Beaker Nov 19, 04:35
- (also 3PO and R2 have both been in more movies than Chewie) -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 19:40 1
  - Exactly. Remember, Lucas originally was going to end all 9 with the reveal that it was Threepio telling the entire story. -- nm - ♤Spawn♤ Nov 18, 19:51
- I mostly agree on point 1, except too much stupid stuff on "how Han got his [whatever]". I think I'd put it 6th or 7th behind in no particular order - mafic Nov 18, 19:27
- it's been canon for decades C3P0 is telling the story to people in the future. Star Wars is all flashback as he saw it. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 19:18 2
  - That certainly explains george lucas's writing. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 19:23 1
    - then they wiped his brain in the last film. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 20:32
- #2 seems like the whole "Xander was the central character in Buffy the Vampire Slayer" argument all over again. - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 18, 19:13 1
  - That ... wow. That's a great analogy. -- nm - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 19:14
- Rogue One spoils - Will Hunting Nov 18, 19:11 5
  - Totally agree with this. (maybe more spoilers) - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 19:14 4
    - Nope--He was pulling the same move he did in Episode IV (spoilers) - flavorize Nov 18, 22:21
    - powerful idiot is kind of his entire story arc. -- nm - mafic Nov 18, 20:12
    - spoil - mud Nov 18, 19:21 1
      - unpopular opinion, I guess -- nm - mud Nov 18, 19:58
- I agree 100% with #1. Hope Howard gets the sequel he wants to do -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 19:07 1
  - last I read about Solo sequel is that it might be a Disney + series -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 19:14
- Spoilers (not really) - Beryllium Nov 18, 19:07
- #1: duh, #2: huh? #3: yea -- nm - mud Nov 18, 19:06 1
  - Allow me to elaborate (and this time, there are definitely spoilers) - ReluctantCornucopia Nov 18, 19:12
AEW: THunder Rosa vs. Sareena Deeb was *fantastic* -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 18:56 1
- I wasn't crazy about the finish, but I looooved everything up until then. -- nm - David Nov 18, 18:59
