Samsung/Tizen, or TCL/Roku ... hmm. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 22:48 6

Realtor's card in the front door says Unit 6 just sold for $435K. I think that's the first one to sell in many years. Most of them have gone rental. -- nm* - Meg Feb 19, 21:36 2
- That's a great price for the buyer! $435 is less than one month's rent most places. -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 21:43 1
  - :) Damned decimals :) -- nm - Meg Feb 19, 21:53
Lesbian Spank Inferno -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 21:02 1

I'll say this for the WWE, their production team is top notch. Video, lights, pyro, all impressive. -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 20:57 22
- What’s really fun is when the entrances end up all being longer than the match itself. Which is... way more often than you really want. -- nm - IAmQale Feb 20, 10:23
- So far my favorites are Otis and Alexa Bliss. -- nm - Ender Feb 20, 00:25 3

  - This makes David very happy. -- nm - Tim Feb 20, 06:54 1
    - Indeed. You’ve let the right ones in. -- nm - David Feb 20, 07:09

- Did Miz really steal the Money in the Bank contract from Otis? Because I low-key love what I've seen of Otis... -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 23:02 1
  - Otis’ first half of 2020 was great, he got his girl and won MITB. - Tim Feb 20, 06:57
- Am I supposed to believe they continue wrestling during commercial breaks? -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 22:43 1
  - It’s coming... you love it... It’s Picture in Picture with restaurant quality! - IAmQale Feb 20, 10:22

- Do they ever schedule matches for more than one fall? -- nm - Ender Feb 19, 21:47 1
  - It’s a rare stipulation these days. -- nm* - Tim Feb 19, 21:49

  - *tidying up* -- nm - Mr. Bean Feb 19, 21:46
