  - Hey, Nathan loved your “ORGANized” joke. :) - kelly Jan 24, 21:11

Hadn’t really been paying attention, but I see The Wall is back on NBC, with Hardwick hosting. I remember he got “Me Too”ed but I guess he survived. -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 20:03 3
- OMG, The Wall may be the worst show on TV. Perhaps this is Hardwick’s purgatory. -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 21:03
- But didn’t survive well enough to have @Midnight end up on Paramount+ -- nm* - Qale Jan 24, 20:41 1
  - He quit that before the incident. I think he quit it to do The Wall, which is too bad. That show was rapid fire humor. -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 20:50

        I agree that usu it's nice to check off the box, but this year the smart play is to wait. -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 24, 20:07 1

- H&R Block isn't participating in the Free File program anymore and that's who I used so now I'll need - Krusty Jan 24, 19:58 4

    - Thanks! I'll check them out on Feb. 12th. I want to do Theresa's taxes asap this year. - Krusty Jan 24, 20:02 2
      - there is some chatter that if biden gets stimulus through in jan, it could be 2020 relief, not 2021 relief. watch the news carefully. - amanda jeans Jan 24, 20:07 1
        
        *sigh* That is so bad for so many people that have had their financial situation get crushed over the last year but were fine the year before. - Krusty Jan 24, 20:09

- I guess I missed something today. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 24, 19:17 2
  - Here. (Who’s the animated guy on the right who kinda looks like Archer but definitely isn’t Archer?) -- (link) - Mop Jan 24, 19:39 [youtube] 1
    - "This video is not available" - from context I'll assume it's an ensemble of Paramount properties -- nm - Beryllium Jan 24, 19:41
I like it when a TV show inspires me to read a book. The Expanse did it. Lupin just might, aussi. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 24, 19:03
that Buffalo dude can kick a great onside ball -- nm - Beaker Jan 24, 18:54 1
- It's the football equivalent of a knuckleballer. - Hibernating Baron Jan 24, 19:18

thats one -- nm - Beaker Jan 24, 18:43
The thing about bad maskers I don't get -- wearing it below your nose feels several times worse than wearing it properly. Just wear the thing right! -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 18:40 6
- Yup. Makes no sense at all and it looks ridiculous too. -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 18:55 5
  - Makes sense if you're wearing glasses. Also, if the purpose is to avoid passing on an infection to others, you're not gonna do that out of your nose. - ori-o Jan 24, 19:36 4
    - "It spreads through respiratory droplets or small particles, such as those in aerosols, produced when an infected person coughs, sneezes, sings, talks - Krusty Jan 24, 20:18

      - I've never heard of anti-fog wipes, but I could check with some local shops. I tend to wear contact-lenses when I go outside, so that I both avoid - ori-o Jan 24, 20:17 1
        
        Honestly, the wipes aren't made of anything magic but they work well in my experience. The ingredients are rubbing alcohol, detergent and deionized - Krusty Jan 24, 20:22

- Cable's not coming back. It's in the death spiral. -- nm - David Jan 24, 20:28

Random gripe: Even though I haven't really cared about football for a few years, my favorite articles of clothing are Bucs items. - Tim Jan 24, 17:39 3
- One of my most comfortable hoodies is a Yankees hoodie but the t-shirts are terrible. Neck lines too wide or too large on some, poor cuts so they're - Krusty Jan 24, 18:21 2
  - I wouldn't mind having a couple shirseys if they fit better. -- nm - Tim Jan 24, 18:22 1
    - Hockey jerseys look great but they make everyone look like they weigh an extra 40lbs. They need to make some where they know I'm not putting - Krusty Jan 24, 18:24
Any Wes/Groiny updates? -- nm - Pippy Jan 24, 17:25 6
- COVID no, blood clots yes. -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 17:27 5
  - Yep his wife posted a few hours ago seems like blood thinners will do the trick no surgery -- nm - eag Jan 24, 17:32 4

Asia Argento raises new sexual assault allegations against xXx director Rob Cohen -- (link) - Beaker Jan 24, 17:08
Having been to several so far, it's amusing to see the wildly varying conditions of nursing homes and LTC facilites. - Tim Jan 24, 17:03 11
- When you say "billing" ... - Andie Jan 24, 17:10 10
  - Nope, nobody pays anything. - Tim Jan 24, 17:19 9
    - Thanks! -- nm - Andie Jan 24, 19:38
    - Base Medicare does not cover LTC to my understanding, but they could have a supplemental plan -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 24, 17:48 6
      - I've got no idea what covers their stay in the LTC place, but we're provided the Medicare B info as that's what is paying for the vaccine. - Tim Jan 24, 17:49 5
        
        Medicare will cover up to 100 days each year in skilled nursing following hospitalizations, and it's often the same type of facility. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 24, 18:00 4
        
        There was no mention of insurance at the county facility today. "You're over 75? Right this way" -- nm - Meg Jan 24, 18:15 3
        
        Since this is See Vee Ess providing the vaccine, we're probably billing for the administration fee. - Tim Jan 24, 18:35
        
        The insurance is only to charge for the administration fee, maybe they are forgoing it. But the registration website I think takes the insurance info. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jan 24, 18:33 1
        
        I don't believe so, I certainly didn't give them Kaiser number or anything. Just name and birthdate I believe. All they wanted today was ID. -- nm - Meg Jan 24, 19:10
    - This is all very interesting -- nm - Pippy Jan 24, 17:47
I can start drinking before applying the second coat of paint, right? I mean what can go wrong with the second coat? -- nm - Dano Jan 24, 16:57 3

- Eli Manning: 2 -- nm - Dano Jan 24, 16:58
I don't pay attention to football until post-season. This Mahomes guy seems unfazed by distractions like impending sacks. -- nm - Max Jan 24, 16:50 2

That Paramount+ commercial is *AWFUL* but it's got the right message. -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 16:29 14
- Didn't you guys last week talk about Real World not being streamed? I see it on CBS All Access. Not every season, but a lot. I don't know... - Qale Jan 24, 16:50 2
  - Yeah, our point is that CBSViacom is a reality TV powerhouse. They’ve got Survivor, TAR, Big Brother, The Real World, etc. - Mop Jan 24, 19:13
  - I think we mentioned that they have it, and how they should lean in on having all these reality shows. - Tim Jan 24, 17:04
- I think it's fun. -- nm - Remlik Jan 24, 16:45
- New Streamed Hams this week? -- nm* - Krusty Jan 24, 16:31 9
  - Soon! -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 16:35 8
    - *taps foot* -- nm - Krusty Jan 24, 16:37 7
      - Editing should have been easy for Mop this week since it doesn’t include any of my stammering. -- nm - Tim Jan 24, 16:38 6
        
        For a guy who wasn’t in the podcast this week, he sure was referenced a lot. “Like Tim said...” “I wish Tim were here, because...” etc. -- nm - Mop Jan 24, 19:04
        
        But then David forgot how words work. -- nm - Reagen Jan 24, 16:47 4
        
        Me podcast talk good -- nm - David Jan 24, 17:53
        
        Are those important on a podcast? -- nm - spamlet Jan 24, 17:19
