Kiss Pam. -- nm - Diva Jan 31, 07:12
Slow Sunday ST Poll: If your life was a movie, who would be the studio or distributors? For mine it's tempting to say A24 and call it a day. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 07:02 6

- Same here, we got a ton of it already -- nm - colin Jan 31, 07:10
Random things found on YouTube. Someone put together all of Betty whites appearances on Fergusons - tRuMaN Jan 31, 06:49
I don't say this to be flip or diminishing, but all these people need to be checked for schizophrenia. -- (link) - Reagen Jan 31, 06:46 1
- In a lot of ways, it being Biden in the White House is worse than anyone else it could have been for them because it keeps the Obama thing going. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 06:56
Ha! -- (link) - LMS Jan 31, 06:33 1
- I wonder -- nm - budice Jan 31, 06:34
I had missed these being released: Amazon Echo eyeglass frames? -- (link) - JaxSean Jan 31, 06:25
Bit of overreaction to the Goff-Stafford deal in my opinion. I don’t think the Watson price changes much. - Volnelk Jan 31, 06:18
Dang. Security guard at a quarantine hotel got COVID, so now we’re in lockdown. He might also have been an Uber driver, which seems bonkers. - mafic Jan 31, 05:34 1
- Two professions even more so. Especially when you're a possible vector between a safe group and a potentially unsafe one. -- nm - . Jan 31, 05:50
TV PSA: Batwoman, Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Charmed, Card Sharks, Shameless, American Gods, Desus & Mero, The Lady And The Dale (HBO), -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 04:21 4
- The Long Song on Masterpiece, Real HW, Rookie, Your Honor, other stuff -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 04:22 3
  - The Long Song is excellent and Hayley Atwell gets to be loathsome in it. -- nm - LMS Jan 31, 06:09
  - From what I'm seeing The Rookie is off two weeks and back on Valentine's Day. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 05:05 1
    - yeah, EW had that and Your Honor; but none of the other places did. -- nm - Beaker Jan 31, 05:37
They’ve lowered our forecasted snow amount quite a bit, but it’s all about how far west the Nor’easter moves. -- nm - Dano Jan 31, 04:02 2
- DC looking like less than 4 today which gets melted over night and less than 2 tomorrow. I can probably wait until Wed to use the car and not shovel. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 05:08
- I'm still getting mixed reports as they're unsure if we'll get 6" or 12". I'm rooting for at least 12" -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 04:41
Freaky is the most I've laughed at a movie in years. Period. -- nm - Ender Jan 31, 01:34
I am tempted to get this rice cooker. I've heard good things. -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 31, 00:19 14
- A unitasker? Alton Brown will judge you. -- nm - Hibernating Baron Jan 31, 07:12
- If it's going to cook something at least make it look like a pot or a box. -- nm - Max Jan 31, 00:33
- $210?! Have you tried just putting rice and water in a covered pot and cooking on low for 17 minutes? -- nm - Ender Jan 31, 00:23 10
  - My Japanese friend swore by his rice cooker. Just sayin'. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 07:04 1
    - I'm just having difficulty imagining the quality and quantity it would take to justify a $200 device for rice -- (edited) - Reagen Jan 31, 07:08
  - I've wondered this as well but people that eat rice often swear by their rice makers and like to keep the burners free for cooking the things -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 31, 04:43 3
    - Minute rice? You’re an even bigger monster! And yeah, rice cookers are great if you eat a lot of rice. Haven’t had one in ages, but I want one. -- nm - mafic Jan 31, 05:30 2
      - *shrug* I hate sticky rice and Minute rice is a texture I like. It tastes good to me and I don't taste much difference with the rice from a Chinese - Krusty Jan 31, 05:47 1
        
        Sticky rice is a matter of variety and rinsing. - . Jan 31, 05:55
  - 15 you monster. -- nm - mafic Jan 31, 02:51

- On the other hand, this one is much cheaper ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jan 31, 00:21
Our Arch.Soc. has had a FB page for over 5 years. We're suddenly getting a run of 'likes' 4 or 5 a day. I'd love to know what's generating them. - Meg Jan 30, 22:06 1
- sometimes FB features, or suggests you may like this since you liked that -- nm - zeitgeist Jan 30, 22:36
Still a Winter Storm Watch here. Amanda has a Winter Storm Warning. -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 22:01 9
- MUG is gonna be one busy... mug. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 07:04
- Been watching it snow since 4pm. -- nm - . Jan 30, 23:50 1
  - How much are you expected to get? Over a foot? -- nm - Krusty Jan 31, 06:30
- I'm disappointed by the snow far, and it looks like if it doesn't switch to rain it's going to be a dry slot... -- nm - Ender Jan 30, 22:10
- looks like we're getting up to 16" here, and I didn't get to the grocery store today. F*ck. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 22:07 4
  - But did you get to the liquor store? -- nm - Dano Jan 31, 03:58
  - Doesn't start here until sometime between 8 and 10 tonight (though earlier for you I'm sure) - ty97 Jan 30, 22:08 2
    - looks like it'll start about 4pm here, but no significant accumulation until the overnight. Grocery stores will be crazy-go-nuts, I'm sure. - znufrii Jan 30, 22:13 1
      - They probably were already like that today I figure -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 22:27
Threats against Gov. Newsom, his family, and businesses are being investigated :( -- (link) - Meg Jan 30, 21:41
They forgot Ruprecht's sweaters. -- nm - . Jan 30, 21:40
I don't remember the promise being $2,600. Thus the push for $1,400 in relief payments. - Tim Jan 30, 21:35 9
- They need to do $2000 now. I know, and you know, they meant an additional $1400 to get to $2000 total (when added to the $600). -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 30, 21:43 8
  - I agree. A lot of people don't understand the situation and are expecting the next stimulus to be $2k. - Krusty Jan 30, 22:01 7
    - Your IM is true as well. - ty97 Jan 30, 22:04 6
      - I just wish they could do that or more for the people who *really* need it, but I guess the logistics of figuring that out would be way more than $2K -- nm - Meg Jan 30, 22:09 4
        
        I think using the old tax data is problem and they need a way to address it. - ty97 Jan 30, 22:11 3
        
        Because if there's anything people love, it's the government giving them money only to take it back later. -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 22:15 2
        
        Oh, I see you've met the Affordable Care Act's subsidy assistance program. -- nm - Qale Jan 31, 07:06
        
        I think it's better than leaving out people who need it. - ty97 Jan 30, 22:29
      - Exactly. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 22:05
The lip syncing on Machine Gun Kelly is odd. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 21:14 3
- ... might have been lag in my internet. -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 21:16 2
  - The poor attempt at a drum riser jump was ludicrous -- nm - Pippy Jan 30, 21:24 1
    - I was hoping his guitar toss would injure him like when Nirvana did it on the MTV Music Video Awards. -- nm - Max Jan 30, 21:31
Justified appears to be leaving Prime Canada tomorrow. Harumph. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 21:12 1
- "Outlaw life's hard, ain't it?" -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 21:55
Nice stat from Twitter: Rams haven’t had a 1st rd pick since 2016 and won’t again until 2024 👀 -- nm - Flavorize Jan 30, 21:05
DALE! -- nm - Spawn Jan 30, 21:03
This feels like an idea that an STer already had—Jimmy Woo show -- (pic) - Flavorize Jan 30, 20:52 [Attachment] 3
- FBI Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. -- nm - Max Jan 30, 21:00
- With Darcy Lewis -- nm - eag Jan 30, 20:55 1
  - Yes! 💯 -- nm - Flavorize Jan 30, 20:57
Has any STer ever been in an SNL audience, or known someone who has? Any anecdotes? -- nm - Max Jan 30, 20:39 8
- My sister did make-up there for a year, back in the late ‘90s or early oughts. - landbeck Jan 31, 06:19
- 1993 or 4. George Clooney host. a good friend was a writer there before he went to work on Seinfeld -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 30, 20:52 1
  - Sweet! -- nm - Flavorize Jan 30, 20:59
- I went twice. In '98 I saw Ray Romano host, I forget the musical guest. In '00 I saw Sean Hayes with Shaggy as the musical guest. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 20:47 4
  - I think the period you went was when my cousin was a writer there -- nm - ty97 Jan 30, 21:49 1
    - That must have been an interesting/cool job. I tried going often and would wait outside for standby tickets. -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 22:03
  - Nice! -- nm - Flavorize Jan 30, 21:42
  - I've also waited outside to try and get autographs for the Beastie Boys -- nm - Krusty Jan 30, 20:48
I'm starting to think Walton Goggins in Justified was a pretty good casting choice. -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 20:14 9
- That whole show had great casting choices. -- nm - . Jan 30, 21:13
- Have you made it to Bulletville yet? -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 20:17 6
  - No but - con_carne Jan 30, 20:37 3
    - Sounds like you're getting close to it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 20:39 2
      - I never knew nervous rednecks could be this entertaining. -- nm - con_carne Jan 30, 20:43
      - When in Harlan County, you're always close to Bulletville. -- nm - Max Jan 30, 20:40
  - one of the 10 best TV episodes in the last 25 years -- nm - prayformojo Jan 30, 20:20 1
    - I'll agree with that -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 20:21
- Heh -- nm - Pippy Jan 30, 20:17
Promising Young Woman was excellent. I may watch it again before the 48 hour rental window is up. -- nm - Dano Jan 30, 19:53 11
- It looks really good. I also want to see 'The Dig' on Netflix. -- (link) - Diva Jan 31, 06:00
- I'm thinking of doing a VOD search for Grizzly II -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 19:54 9
  - Prime has it for rental. That search led me to Cruel Jaws which is included with Prime and from the description and trailer is an absolute must see. -- nm - Dano Jan 30, 20:02 2
    - !!! that sounds amazing -- nm - prayformojo Jan 30, 20:09
    - hmmmm, quick search shows Cruel Jaws is all the way up to 3.2 at IMBD. I hope it isn't a hoity-toity art film. -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 20:07
  - I was thinking of doing that, but wasn't sure I'd be able to follow it having never seen Grizzly 1. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 30, 19:57 5
    - That would be like seeing Empire without having seen A New Hope. It is doable. -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 20:03 4
      - then i'm gonna hate seeing the Grizzly prequels -- nm* - prayformojo Jan 30, 20:14 3
        
        but how else would you know how a promising young cub went bad? -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 20:16 1
        
        it woulda made sense if they only left out the Grizzlichlorians -- nm - prayformojo Jan 30, 20:19
        
        There's probably an important end credits scene in there too. -- nm - Max Jan 30, 20:16
I'm getting too old for this sh!t -- (edited) - znufrii Jan 30, 19:42 2
- pull yourself together -- nm - prayformojo Jan 30, 19:52 1
  - I'm trying - znufrii Jan 30, 20:29
Zendaya is so captivating on camera. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 19:42 5
- Mmhmmmm -- nm - amanda jeans Jan 30, 20:15
- Emmy Award Winnjng Zendaya! -- nm - Qale Jan 30, 20:07
- A young Audrey Hepburn. I cannot look away when she's onscreen. -- nm - David Jan 30, 19:53
- I concur. -- nm - Max Jan 30, 19:47
- agreed -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 19:43
Just based on Twitter, comments, and FB; the consensus seems to be the Lions won this trade by a laaaaaaaaaaarge margin -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 19:32 2
- Now—to steal from Darius Butler—if Stafford is worth this, what do you get for Watson -- nm - Flavorize Jan 30, 19:34 1
  - eaxactly. like 8 first rounders? (I kid, but do i?) -- nm - Beaker Jan 30, 19:34
Greene lost it on twitter.... -- (link) - Remlik Jan 30, 19:24 10
- And, really? That's the best retort LP could come up with there? -- nm - znufrii Jan 30, 21:55
- Meh. -- nm - Ender Jan 30, 21:38
- She'll have her chance at redemption when SNL portrays her tonight! -- nm - Max Jan 30, 19:59
- "Lost it?" That's possibly one of the most cogent statements she's ever made. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jan 30, 19:38
- Greene made one post on Twitter. We live a post-45 word. That's far from losing it.* - David Jan 30, 19:29 5
  - Parkaaaaaaay! -- nm - Qale Jan 30, 19:41
  - Her, Hawley, Cruz, and the other ones need to be shown the door ASAP. Allowing them to linger in government is just asking for the end of the nation. - Beryllium Jan 30, 19:36 2
    - It's another hole with the legal system where there doesn't appear to be a viable method to get Hawley and Cruz out. She might be different. - David Jan 30, 19:54 1
      - Since they have absolutely zero shame, probably can't unearth details that would cause them to resign, either. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 30, 20:09
  - eh...yeah I mean it's not a full on meltdown, but she was cleaning up her social media this past week... - Remlik Jan 30, 19:33
Bruce, Dylan, Miles, Coltrane...some artists I call by their first name and some by their last. Louis Armstrong is Louis but Thelonious is Monk -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 19:21 5
- In that case order it based on where you'd look for it if you wanted to grab the album. If that means some are by first name and others by last name I don't -- (edited) - Krusty Jan 30, 19:37 2
  - makes sense, but it also seems a bit like anarchy :) -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 19:41 1
    - Anarchy is sorting by throwing them all in a big box. - Krusty Jan 30, 20:28
- I need an inside guy at the Library of Congress. -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 19:22 1
  - anyways, lyc, I bought my February treat early tonight: What's Going On by Marvin Gaye -- nm - crash davis Jan 30, 19:27
Pushing Daisies is now streaming on HBO Max -- nm* - Beaker Jan 30, 19:20
NFL: Stafford for Goff LAR-DET deal done (lir) -- (link) - budice Jan 30, 19:15 14
- To recap—that’s 4 1sts for Stafford and Ramsey—basically pushing their chips, all-in, to hit their title window -- nm* - Flavorize Jan 30, 19:23 13
  - Broncos were engaged in Stafford talks. -- (link) - budice Jan 30, 19:32 12
    - If I was the Lions, I’d rather have the Broncos pick, this year (top 10) and package with Lions pick (#7)for a top 2 or top 3 pick. Lions must ... -- (edited) - Flavorize Jan 30, 19:38 11
      - The Lions had to take back Goff in the deal. He's why they got the compensation. It's like the Brock Osweiler deal a few years ago. - David Jan 30, 19:52
      - They get a stop gap at QB so they don’t need to draft a replacement this season. - Will Hunting Jan 30, 19:47 9
        
        Yeah—I think they will. Goff has never been a Manning type/student of the game—McVay basically makes all his reads, in advance. Never developed - Flavorize Jan 30, 20:00 8
        
        If you draft a kid and Goff turns it around, you wasted a bounty pick. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 30, 20:08 7
        
        I hear your logic, but Rookie QBs buy new GMs 3-4 years. Selling Goff as a reload and missing is too risky. - Flavorize Jan 30, 20:25 6
        
        No, the Colts GM had it right. If you draft a QB and miss, you just fired yourself. -- nm - David Jan 30, 20:27 5
        
        If you have a top 10’ pick, the best thing you can do is get a qb. No other position, in a single pick,will help you turn a franchise around, faster. -- nm - Flavorize Jan 30, 20:48 4
        
        Less than half of recent top 10 QBs have been worth the pick. -- nm - David Jan 30, 21:18
        
        The 10th best QB isn't worth a first round pick. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 30, 21:01 2
        
        Yeah—Lions have the #7 overall pick. Which might get them the 3rd or 4th best rookie qb , not saying that player will be great but that pick buys time - Flavorize Jan 30, 21:34 1
        
        The problem with that is it's drafting to not get fired, not drafting to win. - the wrong element, bad guy Jan 30, 22:27
