so I checked and yeah. Mnuchin, I deem you the least worthless of the people who stuck it out with Cheeto In Charge -- nm - crash davis Jan 1, 09:09
I’ve decided that 2021 is going to have to earn the right to require pants. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 09:08 1
- Fair. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 09:10
WW84 hits $100 Mill -- (link) - Remlik Jan 1, 09:02 5
- I still tilt my head when I re-read that the third one was greenlit because of the "record BO returns of the latest film". I mean, yeah, but huh? (NM) - Marlowe Jan 1, 09:28
- Hrmmm, the first did 800+ worldwide and profited 250mil for a cost of 550mil. This one is likely to not get to 150mil worldwide and cost more - Will Hunting Jan 1, 09:18 3
  - It’ll be at $150 million by this time next week if not this Monday. Was that a typo? -- nm - David Jan 1, 09:23 1
    - Isn’t this week 3 worldwide? It was 86 after week 2. If not, I’d revise to 225mil total worldwide where it would needs 25million months of HBO Max - Will Hunting Jan 1, 09:33
  - Especially because a lot of the HBOMax subscribers get it free with other AT&T services. - spamlet Jan 1, 09:22
Oh, huh, so the $600 per person includes dependents? Nice. -- nm - znufrii, stimulated Jan 1, 08:50 10
- Yes, I went through a 180 in feelings on that the other day - crash davis Jan 1, 09:00 3
  - Yup. - znufrii, stimulated Jan 1, 09:16
  - Yang Gang agrees. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 09:11 1
    - I'm not sure I totally get Yang but sometimes I felt I did -- nm - crash davis Jan 1, 09:13
- Yay, 'Pending,' and the full $600 so they did use the 2019 return :) -- nm - Meg Jan 1, 09:00
- And they put a 1/4 date on the deposit, so a number of people have pending $$$ -- nm* - budice Jan 1, 09:00 2
  - I thought it was now illegal to float or post-date a check :) -- nm - Meg Jan 1, 09:01 1
    - For all I know, banks are advancing the money because it cuts down on the calls they have to answer. -- nm - crash davis Jan 1, 09:04
- Children but not adult dependents, iirc. -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 1, 08:54 1
  - Now I have to go update my spreadsheets again. -- nm* - znufrii, stimulated Jan 1, 08:55
Jan. 1 Birthdays: Frank Langella (83), Don Novello (78), Jacky Ickx (76), Richard Edson (67), Grandmaster Flash (63), Carlos Gomez (59), -- (edited) - Max Jan 1, 08:47
I've never been a fan of fireworks, but last night turned me into a deadset opposer. - Marlowe Jan 1, 08:44 [Attachment] 2
- Jack had a terrible night too. Just glad it stopped around 1:30. -- nm - jnine Jan 1, 09:19
- Aww, such a cutie! -- nm - Meg Jan 1, 08:47
Why is living room two words while bedroom is only one? -- nm - crash davis Jan 1, 08:34 9
- Living is two syllables, bed/bath are one each. -- nm* - Will Hunting Jan 1, 09:20
- I didn't expect intelligent responses. I was just feeling I was nice in 2020 because I was afraid and now I will call out sh!# that bugs me - crash davis Jan 1, 08:49
- Bathroom and boardroom too. I get the feeling that "living" is also being treated differently somehow. - Max Jan 1, 08:45 1
  - "That's fine, just pee wherever." is worth 1 crash point -- nm - crash davis Jan 1, 08:48
- Living and dining are verbs, bed and bath are nouns. - Cuzzin Tauld Lang Syne Jan 1, 08:42 2
  - Stop making sense! -- nm - Mop Jan 1, 11:01
  - Another intelligent response - 2 crash points -- nm - crash davis Jan 1, 08:47
- Probably because the word bedroom has had way more time to evolve. Shakespeare used it (and it replaced bedchamber). -- nm - mara Jan 1, 08:36 1
  - And with that, mara earns the first crash points of 2021, 5 of them in fact. Keep track, they might be redeemable for sand or sagebrush or some such - crash davis Jan 1, 08:41
SITWAP: The Space Needle put on a show for New Year's Eve. -- (link) - mara Jan 1, 08:30 3
- The whole thing here: -- (link) - mara Jan 1, 08:34 [youtube] 2
  - that's incredible -- nm - 🦌sleighformojo🛷 Jan 1, 09:04 1
    - Except for some spot lights, NONE of that actually visible, it is just an arty cartoon/graphic imposed on a static image of the space needle -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 1, 12:08
Happy and Healthy New Year to my virtual family. Looking forward to a 'stravaganza before to long. Maybe Portland in the fall?? - Meg Jan 1, 08:20 1
- Unless I start working, and assuming I got a vaccine, I will join whatever STravaganza there is. Probably. (NM) - Marlowe Jan 1, 08:29
Happy New Year ST! Thank you all for the laughs, cries, thoughts and opinions. This year should be better but nothing is perfect. - zunkskunk+ Jan 1, 08:11
Happy New Year folks and did anybody else get stimulated on the fist day of the year - eag Jan 1, 08:06 2
- Nope and not pending. 🤷‍♂️ -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 1, 08:13
- Pending (like the rest of the year). -- nm - zunkskunk+ Jan 1, 08:07
NHL planning two outdoor games at Lake Tahoe -- (link) - Reagen Jan 1, 08:00
Streaming on the HBO: 12 Oz Mouse, another brand of wtf from Adult Swim from the mid-2000s. -- (link) - Qale Jan 1, 07:19 [youtube]
Broadchurch Season 2 question... - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 1, 07:06 2

  - Thanks! -- nm - Krusty - Diamond Dog Jan 1, 07:16
Last night was wonderful for me but this morning I received this email titled: - Diva Jan 1, 06:39 1

Wait a second. There's a New Year's version of Slowpoke, but he's wearing 2020 glasses. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 06:19 3
- Yes and then he evolves to have 2021 ones. -- nm - spamlet Jan 1, 06:57
- Slow Loosi! -- nm* - Qale Jan 1, 06:25 1
  - Ohhhhhhhh. -- nm - loosilu Jan 1, 06:36
holy crap, that dude that wrecked those vaccines was worse than I thought -- (link) - Reagen Jan 1, 05:54
I don’t have a weight loss goal for 2021. Instead my goal is to track what I eat at least 5/7 days per week. No calorie counting. Just tracking. -- nm - Dano Jan 1, 05:22 4
- I started doing this with grocery expenses in Nov. and just visualizing how much sugar I was buying made me cut back. - Max Jan 1, 08:01
- Very good. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jan 1, 07:19
- What I learned from tracking foods for about two months is that I don't really have to track them anymore. And I tend to eat the same things. A lot. -- nm - Qale Jan 1, 06:14 1
  - Exactly, I still follow Weight Watchers guidelines but don't really have to think about it. I do read nutrition labels and calculate points but I - Meg Jan 1, 08:55

- stay inside and stay safe -- nm - crash davis Dec 31, 22:22 6
  - I’ll never quite understand. I’ve never shot a gun so maybe that is it. But ammo ain’t as cheap as fireworks, right? -- nm - Qale Dec 31, 22:26 5
    - actually when you break it down to unit cost, ammo is cheaper unless you're talking a string of firecrackers -- nm - crash davis Dec 31, 22:29 4
      - Ammo is probably harder to buy, -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 31, 23:34 1
