The market is closed today. How boring. -- nm - ty97 Feb 15, 08:34
I think feeling left cold by Tame Impala is kind of their m.o., but they are pretty brilliant. Even the less regarded 2020 album is objectively great - rollo Feb 15, 08:25 1
- It definitely must not be as good because they had a song I liked. -- nm - Tim Feb 15, 08:54
TIL: There's a museum called the Baked Bean Museum of Excellence in Wales. - Krusty Feb 15, 08:23 2

FWP, but I am officially over the loud, obnoxious pigeons that live outside by bedroom window. -- nm - ty97 Feb 15, 08:20 3
- FWP: I ran out of bird seed to feed the beautiful pigeons outside my living room window. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:28 2
  - I'll ship my pigeons over -- nm - ty97 Feb 15, 08:30 1
    - Not now, I'm out of bird seed! -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:34
David and Kim rushed back from Disney World to record Streaming Into the Void this weekend. Here it is! -- (link) - Mop Feb 15, 08:20 [spotify]
I hate for Qale and you guys dealing with terrible weather. But I'm still a smidge jealous and want a little bit of snow. We are drowning here in NC - sycor Feb 15, 08:18 3
- Does it have to be a snowman? -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:24 2
  - It could be a snow monster. I'm in a Calvin kind of mood. -- nm - sycor Feb 15, 08:38
  - Snow phallus. -- nm - con_carne Feb 15, 08:25
plant just shut down, everybody is going home. airbnb host here extended until thursday. oof, we're iced in here for a bit. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 08:08 3

- Yikes. -- nm - mara Feb 15, 08:09
Krusty, Arizona's a big state. And yes this wasn't quite an ice storm. This is the motel I mentioned a night or two back. -- (pic) - Meg Feb 15, 08:08 [Attachment] 3
- Cool. Yeah, I guess it's like NM where there are areas with higher elevations that get hit with winter. - Krusty Feb 15, 08:10 2
  - Yep, Flagstaff is one of the snowiest cities in the US -- nm - Fozzie Baron Feb 15, 08:22 1
    - That motel's just down the road in Williams. Snow in winter, monsoons in summer. Wonderful country :) -- nm - Meg Feb 15, 08:53
No power since 2am. And it’s not due to downed lines, but the grid itself as not enough energy is available. - Qale Feb 15, 08:02 15
- oof, stinks, sorry -- nm - ty97 Feb 15, 08:18 1
  - The five warming centers set up in Houston are all without power. 4 out of 5 do not have backup generators. It’s like amateur hour all day everyday. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:29
- Ugh!!! So sorry. Hopefully it comes back sooner. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:10 2
  - And people attacked our county admin judge for comparison to a major Hurricane. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:12 1
    - That's actually not a bad comparison considering that the state isn't set up to deal with issues this extreme. - Krusty Feb 15, 08:16
- ahhh makes sense; your grid likely wasn't made for the peak caused by the freezing temperatures. Here we have to take the cold into account when - Beaker Feb 15, 08:06 1
  - I imagine they didn’t feel like checking that box on the order form and pocketed the cash. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:08
- So no heat? shit -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 08:05 4
  - Yeah. I have yet to leave bed. So not sure what my plan is. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:07 3
    - Is your oven electric? -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:12 2
      - It is. Boogie woogie woogie. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:18 1
        
        Damn. I would have suggested cooking and baking things to heat your home and your belly. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:24
- I'm confused by why the grid is overtaxed and doesn't have enough power? -- nm - ty97 Feb 15, 08:03 2
  - Frozen wind turbines is the answer we are giving. Why no rolling blackouts though? I dunno. -- nm - Qale Feb 15, 08:06 1
    - That's what I read. Frozen turbines along with increased demand -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:08
Former Auburn coach Gus Malzahn will be UCF's next head football coach, -- nm - budice Feb 15, 07:53

- not to mention ... -- nm - rollo Feb 15, 08:19
- "Damn, I hate being a foregone conclusion." -- nm - David Feb 15, 07:45
- We watched Roger Rabbit with the kid. She turned off Among Us halfway through so I think that's the highest compliment it can be given. -- nm - spamlet Feb 15, 07:44 1
  - lol -- nm - tRuMaN Feb 15, 07:48
- Do you want to dance, or do you want to dance? -- nm - Volnelk Feb 15, 07:42
- We watched 'Freaky' and a good time was had by all. -- nm - Diva Feb 15, 07:38 2
  - we watched willy's wonderland. not really recommended. -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 15, 07:42
  - 👍👍👍 -- nm - prayformojo Feb 15, 07:41
- Agreed -- nm - budice Feb 15, 07:32
ST Getting Stuff Done Poll -- What else do I need to get done today? -- nm - znufrii Feb 15, 07:31 2
- Fix that annoying little thing that needs fixing. -- nm - mara Feb 15, 08:00
- Laundry -- nm - JaxSean Feb 15, 07:38
I’m doing it. - znufrii Feb 15, 07:26 8
- r/bodyweightfitness - Krusty Feb 15, 07:28 5
  - I feel like there's a market out there for a "Prison Fitness" book. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 08:13 2
    - Already a thing! -- nm - con_carne Feb 15, 08:35 1
      - Yup. I saw something about "prison" gyms in LA. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 08:50
  - what sucks is that a year ago I was all in on getting back to the gym on a regular basis, back in the before times. - znufrii Feb 15, 07:30 1
    - In this case one of those chain gyms would have worked better for you. - Krusty Feb 15, 07:46
- whoa whoa whoa znu. don't go crazy here. let's just think about this a minnit -- nm - prayformojo Feb 15, 07:28
- i'm sorry for your loss, congratulations on your loss. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:27
pickup trucks do have a bed that shouldn't be wasted. fill it with snow, i guess. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:26
I expect this will turn out to be only a blip. However..... - ty97 Feb 15, 07:25 [Attachment] 13
- "Hear that big sucking sound?" -- nm - Perot Feb 15, 07:27
- "we need an OFFICIAL fascist party, tired of these pseudo-fascists" -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:27 11
  - It's a little from column A, little from Column B. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 07:34 8
    - i think never trumpers want to keep the GOP though... they probably fully support everyone else getting out of their party :) -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:37 7
      - There was a call over last weekend apparently from about a hundred leading Never-Trumpers....investigating the potential of a new party - Will Hunting Feb 15, 07:40 6
        
        Which is suicide and they know it. -- nm - spamlet Feb 15, 07:49 5
        
        That's a short-sighted perspective. If they keep going along with fascists, there won't be votes. -- nm - David Feb 15, 07:57 1
        
        71% of Americans, and nearly half of Republicans think Trump was at least partly responsible for Jan 6. -- (link) - Reagen Feb 15, 08:17
        
        The question would be do you purposely lose 'battles' in order to try to win a 'war'. - ty97 Feb 15, 07:54 1
        
        Absolutely. I've said this for years, but they need to kill this party to save it. They will only abandon Trump when they can't win elections. -- nm - pmb Feb 15, 08:43
        
        They know it's suicide. They also know that being a part of this unfolding disaster is just delayed suicide. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 15, 07:49
  - heh -- nm - prayformojo Feb 15, 07:29 1
    - i wish this was actually a joke.. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:33

  - You were right about Busan, but you quit on Snowpiercer too soon. -- nm - David Feb 15, 09:12
  - mostly bad times with trains. -- nm - colin Feb 15, 07:44
- Chef. A. Big Hero 6. Also A. -- nm* - Volnelk Feb 15, 07:31 4
  - from b2, I too love the chef show. I have mentioned it here and to a lot of my friends. it's so hard to convince people to watch it - amanda jeans Feb 15, 07:42 3
    - When we watched Chef, I fully expected a boring movie...but it was really engaging and fun. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 15, 07:48 2
      - I wanna direct myself in a movie so I can make Sofia Vergara and Scarlett Johansson my love interests. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 08:20 1
        
        I like how the MCU cast just run off and do movies together in their downtime. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 08:45
- Resident Alien: B+; WandaVision: A; The 100 season 5 epis 5-6: B+ -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 07:30
- Berlin Babylon eps.1-4 (of 28!) excellent; Fury (2014 ..! if you'd asked me B4 Saturday I'd said 2017 at the earliest) -- nm - mud Feb 15, 07:22
I understand Texas s not used to this weather, nor has the infrastructure to deal with it (understandable, it never happens there). - ty97 Feb 15, 07:21 5
- Ice weighs down power lines, pulling them off the transformers. -- nm - Reagen Feb 15, 07:56
- I was wondering if it was electric heat (mostly natural gas here) but there doesn't seem to be issues with AC use in the summer so seems odd. -- nm - zunk xometimes Feb 15, 07:32
- transmission lines may be down causing overloads on substations and cutting people off from power -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 07:31 2
  - we have wind up here going all year round; so I'd hope the turbines in Texas didn't freeze up when ours don't... -- nm - Beaker Feb 15, 07:33 1
    - you probably have deicing systems. they exist and work well, but texas probably wouldn't invest for a once in a decade kind of event. - colin Feb 15, 07:48
Uno! 1 day until pitchers and catchers report! -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 07:21 6
- I can't tell if it's Covid, or me being over baseball, but I couldn't care less. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 07:37 3
  - Would you feel this way if the Orioles were a good team and there was excitement about the possibility of playoff baseball and a World Series? -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 07:55 2
    - Yep. Baseball is broken as a sport and the players are doing their best to ignore the fundamental issues. - Will Hunting Feb 15, 08:35 1
      - I don't disagree with you on this. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 09:17
- *drops an ice storms on them* -- nm - ty97 Feb 15, 07:22 1
  - If there's an ice storm in Arizona that would be interesting. -- nm - Krusty Feb 15, 07:26
shazam! -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 15, 07:18 1
