Looking at B2, please splain me sumtim - Why is/was Parler posting about Kraken? -- nm - crash davis Nov 28, 08:59 9
- They're huge fans of the movie Clash of the Titans, obviously. -- nm - Qale Nov 28, 10:06
- I was curious about that too. -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 09:50
- Because they are unimaginative and overwhelmingly overconfident (presumably as a result of a terminal case of dunning-kruger). -- nm - Beryllium Nov 28, 09:36
- Big hockey fans -- nm - JD Nov 28, 09:33
- Steal the Kraken! -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 09:09

You all know I embrace my love of my Tesla, but it's on a solid foundation. This experience in England is why I'd still avoid other brands -- (edited) - TWuG Nov 28, 08:52 2
- I hope people who read the article get that. - Mop Nov 28, 09:03 1
  - I should note that avoiding other brands removes incentive for legacy makers to embrace EVs, but they're in a tough position. -- (edited) - TWuG Nov 28, 10:03

  - I love joy! It's not my fault that y'all are playing a joyless game in 2020. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 28, 08:31 4
    - Please. We drive with the holiday channels on XM. I prefer live ammo to make the game fun. -- nm - David Nov 28, 08:34 3
      - XM Holly did me in 2 years ago - that Bing/Bowie collaboration everyone says is the "most popular" version. A dubious distinction. - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 28, 08:53
      - Yes. It became much more fun when I stopped trying. -- nm - prayformojo Nov 28, 08:39
      - Same though without the driving. We throw on holiday music and just go about what we're doing. It just hasn't come on in the time we're listening. -- nm - Krusty Nov 28, 08:38

      - Don't tell them! -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:55
  - Heh. :-) I haven't heard the song in years. I was hoping we'd add a new song to make it more challenging but it seems to be tougher this year. -- nm - Krusty Nov 28, 08:27 5
    - OK, then for you the All I Want For Christmas Is You challenge has begun! - Cuzzin Todd Nov 28, 08:59 1
      - Ha! -- nm - Krusty Nov 28, 09:21
    - A couple of years ago it was used as the opening song for some TV show. Maybe the Psych movie? -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:30 2
      - Correct. It was used in Psych but I believe David gave us a warning -- nm - Krusty Nov 28, 08:35 1
        
        Knocked me out early that year. -- nm - loosilu Nov 28, 08:39
Sitwap, but I think many of us would think this guys work is pretty cool. -- (link*) - Volnelk Nov 28, 08:19

  - If wonder if this person started to sell them who would sue first? Nike or Nintendo? -- nm - Qale Nov 28, 08:26 3
    - Nike is fine with customizers, not people that make bootleg sneakers. Nintendo seems very litigious though. - Krusty Nov 28, 08:34 2
      - Nintendo it is then! -- nm - Qale Nov 28, 08:46 1
        
        They'd watch as they made the person cut the shoes up. They're so mean! -- nm - Krusty Nov 28, 08:53

- "More than 66" - What kind of headline is that? Soooo... 67? -- nm - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 28, 07:51 8
  - They don't know what the total will be. "He said the couple continues to find more bottles." -- nm - mara Nov 28, 08:07 3
    - Then that's "at least 66" not "more than 66." -- nm - Green Bean Cuzzinrole Nov 28, 08:20 2
      - No, more than 66 means at least 67. -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 09:01 1
        
        {x|x>66,x∈I} -- nm - Reagen Nov 28, 09:02

      - It's 18 + the alien number! -- nm - Ender Nov 28, 08:54 1
        
        Of course. What else could it possibly be? -- nm - znufrii Nov 28, 09:04
- Fool me once, shame on you. -- nm - Spawn Nov 28, 07:49
Seriously, though. That’s not my email address. -- nm - David Nov 28, 07:45 1
