How many different bad things should I contemplate doing to the asshole pickup that is parked since last night in the spot I had shoveled? -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 07:03 4
- my answer will always be the same: valve stem puller tool. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:03 3
  - I was thinking more along the lines of shoveling out our other car which is in the spot next to it and piling it all behind the asshole truck. -- (edited) - znufrii Feb 15, 07:16 2
    - how much more are you getting this week? maybe dump a bunch of water on the asshole truck over the course of the day so it freezes solid? -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 15, 07:18 1
      - I don’t think much, might get some ice overnight tonight, but mostly rain. Think it’s going to be snow changing over to rain on Thursday. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 07:20
i JUST left a completely iced over Virginia to arrive in Alabama in time to get iced in. we're also supposed to switch airbnbs tomorrow... soo... ugh -- nm - colin Feb 15, 06:46 2
- oh. boy. the place we're supposed to get into tomorrow is saying the guests "can't leave" due to weather until Thursday. place here says we gotta be - colin Feb 15, 07:16 1
  - Ugh! Definitely contact Airbnb and have them get involved. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 07:19

- Meanwhile Rotating Blackouts across TX as demand exceeds supply of electricity -- (link) - budice Feb 15, 06:37 8
  - Shoulda gone to solar. No, wait.... -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 15, 06:39 7
    - i saw a family member posting on FB that the blackouts are because all the wind turbines are frozen solid - tRuMaN Feb 15, 06:52 6
      - plenty of very cold climates have wind turbines and don't experience this. i think this goes into the same reason Texas only has 24 plow trucks - colin Feb 15, 06:55 5
        
        we were talking about this yest. a lot of states that have very few plow trucks have plow attachments for garbage trucks, so the numbers are often - amanda jeans Feb 15, 06:57 4
        
        Most of our plows are garbage trucks with plow attachments. -- (edited) - Krusty Feb 15, 07:06 2
        
        the tiny sidewalk plows in Maine always cracked me up. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:07 1
        
        I don't think I've seen them. We have a few small ones that look like the vehicles used to move small pallets. We need many more but there's an issue - Krusty Feb 15, 07:12
        
        ah -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:01

Musical artist I feel like I should like more than I actually do: Tame Impala -- nm - Dano Feb 15, 06:05 13
- The name always makes me think it's a hip hop artist. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 06:54 7
  - They're (relatively) huge within that community. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 07:06 6
    - I've heard of them but I don't think I know the music. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 07:07 5
      - this is their biggest hit -- (link) - Reagen Feb 15, 07:10 [youtube] 4
        
        another good one -- (link) - Reagen Feb 15, 07:12 [youtube] 3
        
        Very much a retro sound. A mix of the 70s and 90s, imo. Pretty good sound. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 07:15
        
        This one gets into the vibe a bit -- (link) - Reagen Feb 15, 07:15 [youtube] 1

- I know I've heard then on wxpn over the past couple years, but I couldn't name any of their songs. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 06:48
- Their most recent isn't that good compared. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 06:12
- I prefer Wyld Stallyns. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 15, 06:09 1
  - Bill & Ted were right about bringing World Peace -- (edited) - budice Feb 15, 06:11

Entire state of Texas under winter storm warning. All 254 counties. First ever wind chill warning issued for North Texas (DFW and surrounding area). Expecting -18F and could go lower. -- (link*) - GregW Feb 14, 23:23 15
- When TX secedes they can handle it on their own. -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 07:14
- the wind chill here is -30, where is our disaster relief? - tRuMaN Feb 15, 06:03 8
  - but that's why it's an emergency there. an earthquake in PA is a way bigger deal than an earthquake in CA. I get that you are upset because - amanda jeans Feb 15, 06:53 2
    - I understand that, but lots of the country dont typically get this level of cold. its not the snow, its an issue of the cold really. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 06:54 1
      - "First ever wind chill warning issued for North Texas. Expecting -18F and could go lower." first ever. I'm sure your first wind chill - amanda jeans Feb 15, 06:56
  - They can go buy scratchers and see if they get lucky and get some help that way. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 06:18
  - Mahomes already had surgery. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 15, 06:16 3
    - hmm, will we also get some decent o-linemen? -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 06:17 2
      - That's a state issue. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 15, 06:18 1
        
        seems unreasonable. -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 06:53
- They want disaster relief? Cornyn can go fuck himself. I didn't forget that he voted against disaster relief for Hurricane Sandy. He can dig into his - Krusty Feb 15, 05:57 2
  - I thought they wanted to secede? -- nm - Volnelk Feb 15, 06:34 1
    - I bet it seems like a great idea today. -- nm* - Krusty Feb 15, 06:55

Bah, stoopid online surveys. "How many nights have you spent in a hotel in the last 12 months?" "None" "Sorry, you don't qualify for this survey" -- nm - Meg Feb 14, 23:17 4
- I’m close to 40, because the mine camp I went to was technically open to the public. -- nm - mafic Feb 15, 02:08

Israeli study finds 94% drop in symptomatic COVID-19 cases with Pfizer vaccine - ty97 Feb 14, 23:01 7
- Which is amazing. I wonder if more vaccines in the future will be mRNA based. It seems the older methods aren't coming close. -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Feb 14, 23:20 6
  - From what I've read, yes. And from this process they think they can produce them with lightning speed. Weeks (not months or years). -- nm - pmb Feb 15, 06:27
  - I think it's an excellent bet. It has the chance to be revolutionary tech. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 05:23
  - I wouldn't want to get that third one. (Johnson & Johnson I think? Like 65% effective?) -- nm - Ender Feb 14, 23:23 3
    - 65% is a lot better than nothing. -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 06:14
    - It's still more effective than the flu shot is most years. -- (edited) - Fozzie Baron Feb 15, 06:07
    - but...nobody who got this shot needed hospitalization, much less died, so that sounds effective to me, since it works differently get it first then... - zeitgeist Feb 15, 02:10
I'm not used to watching a season of Below Deck where I can't peek ahead at imdb to see who gets fired... -- nm - Ender Feb 14, 22:40 8

- The local groundhog predicted early spring. We have over a foot of snow and it's zero without the windchill. - . Feb 14, 23:05 3
  - This is why you need an experienced groundhog. Punxsutawney Phil got it right. -- nm* - Ender Feb 14, 23:09
  - That *IS* Spring in Chicago -- nm - ty97 Feb 14, 23:06 1
    - Still Winter. Spring is the w5 minutes of 50 degrees between 30 and 80. -- nm - . Feb 15, 01:03

  - Nope. Logano, the leader at the time did a late block. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 05:51
As promised and yet still not listened to, Houston roads are done. Are these the same who don’t wear masks? -- (link*) - Qale Feb 14, 20:59 4

Completely random timing, but Chef is a pretty good movie. Also dig the Chef Show. Both on Netflix. - Volnelk Feb 14, 20:02 5
- We leave Chef on whenever we notice it. The last half-hour is so entertaining. -- nm - David Feb 14, 20:27

Let's say that with WWE coming to Peacock I wanted to give wrestling another shot... What should I be watching? -- nm - Ender Feb 14, 18:30 9
- AEW. -- nm - Dark Callisto Feb 15, 02:37
- Catch me up. Hulk Hogan beat Andre the Giant. And then what happened..? -- nm - Mop Feb 14, 22:07
- Look for men's matches from Cesaro, Nakamura, Kevin Owens, Adam Cole, and Johnny Gargano. Sasha, Bayley, Candice LeRae and Io Shirai top the women. -- nm - David Feb 14, 20:29
- Not WWE. -- nm - Qale Feb 14, 19:10
- NXT overall has the best wrestling. Smackdown has the best story right now with Roman Reigns. -- nm - Remlik Feb 14, 19:05 2
  - Did you see Taya Valkyrie from Impact signed with WWE? -- nm - eag Feb 14, 19:48 1
    - I did. Going to be interesting to see how she fits in there. -- nm - Remlik Feb 14, 21:06
- Raw is a three hour waste of time. Smackdown tries, somewhat. NXT is hurting from lack of real crowd but still decent. -- nm - Tim Feb 14, 18:35

    - Only problem with that is he's self pwning in the process. -- nm - . Feb 14, 19:21 3
      - And why should that matter to him, when the only people that care are the people who hate him anyway, so now he gets to play the martyr as well. -- nm - znufrii Feb 14, 19:33 2
        
        He's getting laughed at more than hated. He's heading more towards irrelevance than anything. -- nm* - . Feb 14, 20:01 1
