Poppy is the 1st ever solo female artist to be nominated for Best Metal Performance for the Grammies. -- nm - Remlik Feb 1, 19:06 1
- Hi, I'm Poppy! -- nm - Qale Feb 1, 19:21
Katie Porter not coming off well in this AOC stream -- (link) - TWuG Feb 1, 19:05 12
- What makes that bad for anyone but the assailant? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 1, 19:14 4
  - Calm, sipping coffee as a coworker fears for their life? That's cold. -- nm - TWuG Feb 1, 19:16 3
    - AOC said that Katie didn't fully know what was going on. It was all happening so fast. -- nm - Remlik Feb 1, 19:18
    - or, cool under fire. -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 19:17 1
      - She also presumably hasn't gotten death threats every day for the last 2+ years. -- nm - Tim Feb 1, 19:24
- Things that dont matter to 99.99% of voters, AOC’s twitch. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 19:09 4
  - Her Twitch streams weren't to convince voters to vote Democrat. They were to persuade people to be voters. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 1, 19:23
  - It presumably will make news though -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 19:19
  - I thought this was on insta, not twitch -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 19:10 1
    - Same difference. -- nm - MDH Feb 1, 19:11
- ???? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 19:08

Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Feb 1, 19:03
Ouch, went 0-3 in a sealed draft. That's a waste of 2,000 gems -- nm - spamlet Feb 1, 18:51 4
- Noooo, don't spend your gems on that garbage! I'm doing the 10,000 gold Premiere Drafts. Today, I went 4-3 with a Shapeshifter/Spider deck. -- nm - Qale Feb 1, 19:22 3
  - If you like to draft, you should go for the prerelease package that includes tokens for them. The 50 packs one is a decent deal too. -- nm - Tim Feb 1, 19:23 2
    - Don't those cost gems? I save my gems for the battle passes. Also: I love this set's draft environment. It's slow like a core set! -- nm* - Qale Feb 1, 19:24 1
      - The preorder deals are each $50, no gems. The mastery pass is fine if you complete it. -- nm - Tim Feb 1, 19:25
My partner and I helped pay and coordinate to put up homeless people as it snowed. Next week with temps, they are going to die. The city doesn't care - colin Feb 1, 18:33 2
- In hotels, to be clear. Is inexpensive but adds up with 10 or 15 folks. - colin Feb 1, 18:34 1
  - You're a good man, Colin. I mean, your partner is better, but you know, you're good too. - Qale Feb 1, 19:23
My parents got their first vaccine shot last week (yay!) and are due for their second late this month (yay!) except..... - ty97 Feb 1, 18:31 9
- It’s a jump, but not a far one, from “the government isn’t saving a shot for me” to “there won’t be a shot available for me to get a second one.” -- nm - znufrii Feb 1, 19:20
- There has been talk of that but I don't think the US is doing it. Last I heard Fauci didn't support it. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 1, 18:45 1
  - But they live in Florida -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 18:57
- Have the talk with her. - Pippy Feb 1, 18:43 2
  - oh it's nor her opting out, she thinks they may skip them to give first doses to others instead -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 18:57 1
    - The administrators will not give them the 2nd dose? -- nm* - Pippy Feb 1, 19:01
- Nice! -- nm - Krusty Feb 1, 18:38
- Yep, as noted below, this will be the dilemma in the next couple of weeks. Double the demand but not double the supply. -- nm - Meg Feb 1, 18:36
- of course, mom could be hearing this from on-line rumors as opposed to actual news so who knows -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 18:33
The life of an Audubon Sanctuary manager - copied from his blog post tonight. (The PTZ cam outside the nest cavity has died.) - Meg Feb 1, 18:26 1

    - or "We'll uncover the shit you did" which is ... *ASCII shrug* -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 18:19

"In the last week, an average of 1.49 million doses per day were administered, a 25% increase over the week before." -- (link) - prayformojo Feb 1, 17:53 2
- That's really reassuring to read. -- nm - David Feb 1, 17:59
- We're getting reports from local counties that they expect a shortage of first doses when the seconds become due. -- nm - Meg Feb 1, 17:56
I'm not saying you want to look at Sunday/Monday's forecast, but you might want to look at Sunday/Monday's forecast. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 17:50 2

- JohnDelorean -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 1, 17:50 1
  - JOhnDeloreanDalorian -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 1, 17:51
- Hmm, disney needs to up the ante on their web interface, building up a watchlist in a web browser is not great -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 17:48 1
  - Never mind, they have TaleSpin, all is forgiven. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 17:49
- Dandelionalorian - Beaker Feb 1, 17:38
- ManDeLorean - Max Feb 1, 17:37 1

  - oooooh, nice -- nm - Beryllium Feb 1, 17:44
Anderson Cooper is a Yale graduate with multiple decades in the news business, and he just revealed he doesn't know what an Oxford comma is. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 17:16 11
- We should all forget it exists. -- nm - David Feb 1, 17:37 6
  - I respect everyone's right to choose the wrong comma use, I just can't respect anyone who doesn't know the right comma use. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 17:38 5
    - If it needs an Oxford comma, it’s probably a poorly written sentence. -- nm - Tim Feb 1, 17:43 1
      - My influence rises! -- nm - Reagen Feb 1, 18:03
    - Or that you should have broken those two sentences with a period. -- nm - David Feb 1, 17:40 2

  - I know I’m an odd bird, but I’m not sure why one of the developers being crazy pants means everyone has to suffer. -- nm - Qale Feb 1, 17:16
So, apparently Go, Dog, Go on Netflix isn’t an abomination hellbent on destroying my childhood. It’s actually pretty good, as far as pre-school shows go -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 1, 17:01
I appreciate David watching Never, Rarely, Sometimes, Always so I don't have to (and I worked on it). -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 16:56 4
- Dawson and Collier both had it in their top 10s for the year. - David Feb 1, 17:00 3
  - I doubt I'll ever be in the mood to watch it. Was originally set in Ireland. -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 17:04 2
    - Spoiler-based question - David Feb 1, 17:05 1
      - Never read the script so no idea. I think the location changed quite early in the development. -- nm - LMS Feb 1, 17:12
Y'all are driving me a bit crazy. Oahu is an island that Honolulu happens to be the most obvious / largest city on said island - JD Feb 1, 16:52 23
- Did someone say volcano? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:15
- Oahu sucks and so does everyone that lives there! - spamlet Feb 1, 17:12
- I just want to see Moli - . Feb 1, 17:12
- the Arizona Memorial is still leaking oil. -- nm - Peglegpete Feb 1, 17:08 3
  - At one point, the floating memorial over the Arizona was in such bad shape that they weren't taking people out to it as it was deemed unsafe - JD Feb 1, 17:56 2
    - It was closed when we went. Is it reopened? -- nm - spamlet Feb 1, 17:59 1
      - That's what I'm wondering. I've been twice. Probably at least a decade between visits and the second (most recent) it was closed as well - JD Feb 1, 18:04
- This is fair -- nm - Pippy Feb 1, 17:04
- So you're saying we need a sequel to Aloha. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 16:57 3
  - No one ever needs that -- nm - Pippy Feb 1, 17:04 2
    - But what if it has Emma Stone in a bubble bath explaining Hawaiian culture? -- nm - Max Feb 1, 17:06 1
      - Keep talking... -- nm - Pippy Feb 1, 17:51
- Also, you can rent DVC points at Aulani and stay for less money. -- nm - David Feb 1, 16:55 10
  - That's a place that's definitely not Honolulu as well. Good thing that it's a self contained resort -- nm - JD Feb 1, 17:53
  - These...look like words? -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:15 6
    - Aulani is Disney's Hawaiian resort. -- nm - David Feb 1, 17:18 5
      - I eventually figured that out. I also figured out that Disney resort pricing is crazy outside of the parks too! -- nm - ty97 Feb 1, 17:19 4
        
        That's why you rent DVC points! -- nm - David Feb 1, 17:24 3
        
        ~$20/point sound about right? Or can I find them cheaper? - znufrii Feb 1, 17:46 2
        
        $20 a point is the average right now. However there are sometimes better deals. - David Feb 1, 18:01 1
        
        I don’t think we’re going anytime soon, but appreciate the offer. - znufrii Feb 1, 18:05
  - *bookmarks* -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 1, 17:13 1

  - Yeah, we have some friends with space for us and goats. -- nm - mafic Feb 1, 17:24 1

  - protect the goats too -- nm - Beaker Feb 1, 16:32
- What is that weird Trump-signature-looking squiggle? -- nm - Max Feb 1, 16:27 3
  - that's the 'active incident area', i.e. it's too late to leave, you'll hamper firefighters and maybe be killed. Red is 'you should have left ages ago' - mafic Feb 1, 16:42 2
    - but... is that the way they typically draw the squiggle? It looks like a half serif / half sans serif script. -- nm - Max Feb 1, 16:46 1
      - yeah, they're not the best at their GIS layers. -- nm - mafic Feb 1, 16:49
As of tonight the US has vaccinated more people than have tested positive for COVID. -- (link) - spamlet Feb 1, 16:20 4
