One knows that the MCU is sprawling when they can have a series that I think is going to be a clip show to catch people up on characters -- (link) - JD Dec 15, 12:25 2
- ... but Wanda and Vision? I know it is to make it easy for those that decide to watch the series but they have only had what, 4 movies? And the same - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 13:09
- If they are smart they will use extra footage on some. Like the Thanos vs Doctor Strange fight that was not included in IfWar is one of my favorite. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 12:43

- My Christmas cards haven't gone out yet. I know I suck, but it's the Dodgers' fault. I was going to use my fan cut outs of my dog and I for my cards. - jnine Dec 15, 13:14 1
  - No worries. I'm not Beaker so no pressure. ;) - Cuzzin Fa-La-La-La-Todd Dec 15, 13:22

Overlooked fact: We are getting a serious upgrade to the First Gentleman of Transportation here -- nm - decline Dec 15, 12:12 9
- I've neve seen Pete's other, but I have seen Elaine Chao's so I immediately agree. -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:16 8
  - Yes you have -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 12:20 7
    - Sorry, I don't remember. I probably have -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:22 6
      - it's mitch m. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 15, 12:25 5
        
        He is with Pete too?!?!?!?!? -- nm* - crash davis Dec 15, 12:27 4
        
        sorry, I just came back after a quick ollie break so my reading comp is bad. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 15, 12:32 1
        
        No problems, I figured it was something like that so I didn't get grossed out on Pete's behalf. -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:34
        
        Pete should be head of the CIA, he hid that well. -- nm - jnine Dec 15, 12:30 1
        
        indeed -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:32
FWIW: Buttigieg’s infrastructure plan during his campaign -- (link) - Dano Dec 15, 12:09 6
- Cool. -- nm - Strongbad Dec 15, 13:53
- Thanks for this -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 12:16
- Is it finally going to be Infrastructure Week? -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 12:11 2
  - “But that trick never works!” -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 12:12 1
    - Do a barrel roll? -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 12:12
- Just like Elaine Chao's. -- nm - jnine Dec 15, 12:11
I. Hate. This. Walmart posted Xbox available at 3pm. Went out of stock in 1 second. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 15, 12:07 18
- Make them click all of the stoplights! -- nm - Dano Dec 15, 12:20

  - For me. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 15, 12:21 1
    - At least you won't be ruining anyone's Christmas (other than your own). ;) - Cuzzin Fa-La-La-La-Todd Dec 15, 12:47
- Best Buy apparently has a staggered system. I have one clicked but it makes you wait to put it in your cart. I'm sure it will go poorly. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 15, 12:18
- That is mathematically impossible. It takes at least 10 seconds to get something in your cart and run it through checkout. -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:09 11
  - Not if you run a bot that loads it and checks out in about 3 seconds -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 12:17
  - Read a couple articles about people running scripts that can do it in a flash. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 15, 12:11 9
    - Just like concert tickets on ticketmaster. *Poof* -- nm - jnine Dec 15, 12:12 2
      - If it's similar, then check back every 5 minutes to see if someone's payment doesn't go through and they release it -- nm - JaxSean Dec 15, 12:25 1
        
        And then around 1 am every night. A few are always released. -- nm - jnine Dec 15, 12:50
    - That's the thing. Wal-Mart should know that's not possible and cancel every order. -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:11 5
      - why should they care to? They're getting paid either way -- nm - decline Dec 15, 12:13 4
        
        Angry customers. -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:14 3
        
        You should check Twitter after sneakers get released. The people curse and scream about it week after week but we all continue to try to buy the next - Krusty Dec 15, 12:19
        
        they could care less. - decline Dec 15, 12:17 1
        
        While Apple's a manufacturer as well as retailer so they may not count but they seem to have figured it out - JD Dec 15, 12:36
- there has to be some sort of shopping app or script that people are using -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:08
How I never saw this D&D commercial last year is beyond me. -- (link) - Baron the Bluenose Reinbear🐻 Dec 15, 11:56 [youtube] 1
- Because Renault is part of that fantasy world? -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 11:59
One thing he could turn around fairly quickly is the reduction in fuel economy standards - Reagen Dec 15, 11:51
Slight Irony: coming home to see a board with people excited about a Mustang EV that will need a nationwide charging network and people disappointed that a ST fave has been named to Transportation -- nm* - crash davis Dec 15, 11:48 40
- I’m disappointed not in the appointment, but in the fact that SOT hasn’t been a political stepping stone. I know he’ll do well -- nm - flavorize Dec 15, 12:04 1
  - I'm saying Transportation is going to be a front line on the climate change issue. It is not necessarily a backwater anymore. -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:06
- I’m not disappointed. And am ambivalent about the car news too. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 11:58 1
  - ditto -- nm - mud Dec 15, 12:11
- This is an unresolved problem the Democratic party faces. - David Dec 15, 11:52 35
  - we should also bear in mind that Rahm Emanuel was supposedly the early choice, which *would* have been a bad choice. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 12:02 1
    - He's a virus like Anthony Wiener, and he needs to be removed from all party discussions. -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:13
  - This aligns well with my observation on B3, I think. -- (link) - znufrii Dec 15, 11:57
  - Diva and I just talked about it. We eat our own. -- nm - MDH Dec 15, 11:55 8
    - Caring too much is a wildly positive characteristic, but it does leads to some unexpectedly negative consequences at times. -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:11
    - Care about ALL THE THINGS!!! -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 11:59
    - I think it's possible to overstate the consequences from this - Reagen Dec 15, 11:58 5
      - Right -- nm* - Krusty Dec 15, 12:02 4
        
        He'll do fine. And he needs experience for the future. Let me put it in Krusty terms: It is now time to sit Mark Brunell and start Mark Sanchez. - crash davis Dec 15, 12:05 3
        
        When are the Buttfumble Hyperloops getting here? -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:10 2
        
        Hopefully never! They're a boondoggle. -- nm - Reagen Dec 15, 12:12 1
        
        Just for the Jets. The Patriots love them. -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:14
  - I think most of us simply were unhappy as we expected him to have a bigger role, though. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 11:53 22
    - This. I want Fox News to have to talk to him because he's important and then have him own them again and again. -- nm - jnine Dec 15, 12:16
    - that is where I fall. I like how he talks, he is intelligent and relatable. I want someone like that in a high place - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 11:59
    - I don't really care what role he gets, that's for him to fight for, I just don't see this match *shrug* -- nm* - ty97 Dec 15, 11:58
    - I think this is just the wrong place for him and that there are likely 20 people with better credentials in transportation to lead us forward -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 11:56 14
      - Hey! His favorite game is ticket to ride - so he's got that going for him -- (link) - decline Dec 15, 12:01 2
        
        Ha! -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 12:20
        
        Sold. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 12:02
      - Expertise matters, but there are different kinds of expertise than policy credentials that might serve someone well in the role. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 12:01 3
        
        And mayors have more transportation expertise than foreign policy experience -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:03 2
        
        That too. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 15, 12:03 1
        
        I'm down with it. Joe promised me 500,000 charging stations nationwide. The dude who pulls that off will have some serious DC cred. -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:07
      - Credentials don't matter any more. New rules. -- nm - loosilu Dec 15, 11:59 5
        
        They do to me and I hope to hold people to a higher standard than the recent leadership -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 12:01
        
        We're trying to get back to the *old* rules -- nm - ty97 Dec 15, 11:59 3
        
        Uhm, 20 people better than him *is* the old rules. - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 12:04
        
        I don’t know that that’s possible. Maybe we should instead be trying to build *better* new rules. -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 12:02
        
        ~maybe its time to let the old ways die~ - Pippy Bells Dec 15, 12:01
      - He is a former mayor of a town famous for football. Every place in the federal government will have people with better credentials than him -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 11:57
    - I think this one's fine for him. -- nm - Yuletide Callisto 🎄🎄 Dec 15, 11:54
    - If you are going to make a stand against climate change, Transportation is the place to be. -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 11:54 2
      - *reverses previous admins requirement that cars remove smog devices and they begin making coal burning stanley steamers...done... -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 15, 12:07
      - Secretary of Get Us There, indeed. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 11:56
For spawn: Federal bike project funding -- (link*) - znufrii Dec 15, 11:45 6
- Nice. Thanks. There is some. Not sure why that should be the major focus of choosing who holds the job, though. -- nm - 🎅Spawnta🎅 Dec 15, 11:49 5
  - It's not the major focus which for me would be public transit expansion across the country. But we need the federal government to help invest in -- (edited) - Krusty Dec 15, 11:53 2
    - He’ll have policy wonks to take care of that for him, and he’ll be smart enough in the role to actually care about what they’re saying. I hope. :) -- nm - znufrii Dec 15, 11:56 1
      - I've heard that before in the past and it never pans out the way we hope it will -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 11:56
  - Not saying it should be, but it’s one area that might be indicative of expectations to an overall policy approach to the position. - znufrii Dec 15, 11:52 1
    - plus Pete is big on the climate crisis -- nm - decline Dec 15, 11:53
I have been most magnificently stalked! - David Dec 15, 11:43 6
- very cool (the HEY KIM! QUIT STEALING DAVID"S PEPPERMINT BARK nm) -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 11:50 4
  - He gave it to me! -- nm - Yuletide Callisto 🎄🎄 Dec 15, 11:56 3
    - LIAR!!! - David Dec 15, 12:00 2
      - does the song have a beat you can dance to? -- nm - crash davis Dec 15, 12:14 1
        
        No, but it's quite catchy and mentions me by name! -- nm - David Dec 15, 12:15
- Very nice stalking! -- nm - Krusty Dec 15, 11:44
