If my friend crash is looking for some feel good entertainment, can I recommend Ted Lasso? You should be able to get a free trial of Apple+. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 25, 17:02 3
- I keep seeing Ted Lasso mentioned. I might have to check it out -- nm - crash davis Nov 25, 17:05 2
  - It is extremely warm hearted, which I've found to be very soothing in these stressful times. nm - ralph wiggum Nov 25, 17:07 1
    - I had never seen it mentioned, but it sounds like I need that myself. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 17:08
Now playing (by virtue of it being an answer on Jeopardy tonight and it being free on Prime): - prayformojo Nov 25, 16:59
VP-elect Harris's Cornbread Dressing recipe -- (link*) - budice Nov 25, 16:55 5
- I went to her feed to look at the rest of the recipe. I should have quit scrolling at the recipe. Some deluded people out there. -- nm - crash davis Nov 25, 16:59 3
  - I know, some crazy people out there asking for vegetarian dishes. -- nm - Reagen Nov 25, 17:10
  - She triggers the Trump crowd for all the reasons you already know. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 17:07 1
    - She won. 'Nuff said :) -- nm - crash davis Nov 25, 17:09
- I saw! I think it sounds delish. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 16:58
We've seen this bit of the President-Elect saying a bit of what needs to be said today before Thanksgiving, right?... well in case not -- (link) - con_carne Nov 25, 16:49 [youtube]
ok correct link to Liam Gallagher talking about maradona..w/photo of the night... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 25, 16:49

COVID Morbidity is a huge concern, really wish people would stop quoting the 99% survival rate without truly understanding the disease. - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 25, 16:44 [Attachment] 9
- JB, is your hospital making preparations for the inevitable post Thanksgiving surge? -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 16:53 2
  - The ER tents are going up again similar to March -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Nov 25, 17:04 1
    - I am really scared. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 17:08
- It's a far right talking point to diminish the seriousness. In other words, making excuses for Trump. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 16:49
- The 99% survival rate isn't even accurate. And they will never concede to my follow up point that the results of getting COVID aren't live/die. -- nm - Qale Nov 25, 16:48 3
  - As of yesterday, case fatality rate is 2.1%. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 16:49 2
    - Yeah. And that's a US national average, I believe? So it could be even *less* accurate for a troll's particular location. Mexico? 10% I think. -- nm - Qale Nov 25, 16:55 1
      - It's the OVERALL US national average. Our CURRENT national average is 0.9%. That's good. WE are getting better at treating it. It's still very bad, ` - loosilu Nov 25, 16:57

  - doh! here's the correct link w/ photo of the night.... -- (link) - Remlik Nov 25, 16:49 1
    - Without being able to access your history, I assume you breathed a sigh of relief when you saw what it was. -- nm - loosilu Nov 25, 16:51
  - No, but it IS amazingly funny :) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 25, 16:44

this is a short thread specifically for crash. -- (link) - mafic Nov 25, 16:02 2
- I went to the thread and it blocked the photos of the Edmund Fitzgerald saying "potentially sensitive content". Are people that easily upset now? - crash davis Nov 25, 16:10 1
  - huh, didn't do that for me, but I suppose the church bell did chime 'til it rang twenty-nine times. -- (edited) - mafic Nov 25, 16:15

  - It looks Diablo-ish? -- nm - Qale Nov 25, 16:37
- that is a great deal. Skylines is excellent. And Stellaris is even better, if you like 4X games -- nm - Jovian Nov 25, 16:09
- I still have free codes for the base games and some expansions if anyone wants them! -- nm - Guigue Nov 25, 15:54
- Stellaris is on sale with it. -- (link) - spamlet Nov 25, 15:42 3
  - that can be a hard game after a while. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 25, 16:12 2
    - turn off the late game events. They are very difficult to combat. Especially if you have Fallen Empires in the mix as well. -- nm - Jovian Nov 25, 16:16 1
      - yeah, those suck. i dont own the Federations dlc, may pick that up. -- nm* - tRuMaN Nov 25, 16:17

Please don't feel any need to read this. I've just got to vent a little as I've spent the last two weeks in a tremendous amount of pain - crash davis Nov 25, 14:38 46
- It shouldn't be up to the patient and her family to diagnose the patient. When you have more physical and mental strength, the two of you should - jnine Nov 25, 19:48
