  - This, sadly. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 09:40
- Isn't that partially on you? Mebbe? - JD Mar 5, 09:26 5
  - Maybe. I arrived.. exactly at the pickup time. I've never had cold food there before today. -- nm - Strongbad Mar 5, 09:31 3
    - They probably made it at the time of order, instead of the agreed upon time -- nm - Flavorize Mar 5, 09:32 2
      - thats what used to happen to me. -- nm - tRu Mar 5, 09:33

Anybody using an Nvidia Shield TV? Thoughts on it? - colin Mar 5, 08:58 4
- Not technically. I have the Tivo Stream 4K which is very similar I think. I use it for services that lack good apps on the Fire ecosystem (like - oblique Mar 5, 08:59 3
  - i have an older android TV that i was using to run plex, but both it and the tv don't handle it well. i only can cast from my phone and that works. - colin Mar 5, 09:03 2
    - I've heard that as well. It is pretty well regarded in that space -- nm - oblique Mar 5, 09:09 1
      - i guess it's a good sign you can't find them used.. people hang on to them. -- nm - colin Mar 5, 09:25

Health overshare inside. - Mop Mar 5, 08:24 14
- I have the same issue with higher sugar in the morning. Sometimes I’ll eat and my sugar goes down. Google “dawn effect” or wiki link inside. - Dano Mar 5, 08:52
- A fasting morning glucose of 114 is pre-diabetes. - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 5, 08:38 1
  - I got a 5.5% or 111 mg/dL in 2015, and 5.1% or 100 mg/dL in 2019. - Mop Mar 5, 08:42
- If you're having those symptoms you should probably get a check up and a blood/urine test to see if something's wrong. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:27 10
  - Probably a semen sample, as well. - Spawn Mar 5, 08:36
  - To be fair, most of those symptoms may be the consequence of being in lockdown for 12 months. -- nm - Mop Mar 5, 08:30 7
    - I'd still recommend a doctor visit. - Dark Callisto Mar 5, 08:34 6
      - (I think I told this story before) Got myself a regular doctor a couple of years ago. His name was Max Keiser. - Mop Mar 5, 08:38 5
        
        I would suggest calling your insurance to get some recommendations. I just did this a few weeks ago. They gave me a few options, I looked - Krusty Mar 5, 08:41 4
        
        Your insurance website should also have a list. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 08:42 3
        
        Max Keiser was the guy in 2019. I assume there's a new "guy" around here. But finding a doctor around here is like online dating. Slim pickings. -- nm - Mop Mar 5, 08:43 2
        
        That sucks but you gotta pick someone over no one. *shrug* Maybe the new guy/woman is better than Dr. Keiser. -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:45 1
        
        Oh, I’m picking someone for him if he doesn’t do it. -- nm - Dark Callisto Mar 5, 09:02
  - agreed, that's a lot at once and seems like it could be an issue. -- nm - colin Mar 5, 08:29

I’m not going to click on his conspiracy-bait bullshit, but my “blue lives matter” cousin posted an article claiming the media is lying - znufrii Mar 5, 08:02 5
- You should tell him that the truth is three officers were actually born in the riot. -- nm - Spawn Mar 5, 09:14
- blue lives matter was always a way of saying Black lives do not matter. -- nm - colin Mar 5, 08:20 1
  - Well, yeah. Unless maybe you’re talking about Blue Man Group. :) -- nm - znufrii Mar 5, 08:23
- The officer that died was not the one that was hit with the fire extinguisher, as was initially reported - Reagen Mar 5, 08:06 1
  - Not nearly conspiratorial enough of an explanation, I think. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 5, 08:10

- I'm giving it a bit longer to see if I receive corrected 1099s but I've already filled everything out and am ready to file. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:54
- Still need to file federal and local, will owe for both so not in a rush. Getting a refund for state so that’s already done. -- nm* - znufrii Mar 5, 07:52 1
  - I owed the least amount in years. I wonder why. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Mar 5, 08:24
And the clean energy stock market rout continues. Eesh. -- nm - znufrii Mar 5, 07:47 1

Could our governor make it any clearer how reluctant he is to actually help urban areas? - spamlet Mar 5, 07:36 5
- Seriously - fuck this guy. -- nm - Johnny Lawrence Mar 5, 09:04
- The chances of surviving two visits to an urban area are astronomical. -- nm - Reagen Mar 5, 08:08
- I mean, he could, but then he would actually have to say that outloud, and he is trying not to. - tRu Mar 5, 07:39 2
  - KC and STL vote blue - I really think that's a good chunk of it. nm - Johnny Lawrence Mar 5, 09:04

- Yeah, our Onward anniversary was the 29th. -- nm* - David Mar 5, 07:51 1

new AP-NORC poll: Biden job approval: 60%, Biden covid approval: 70% -- (link) - decline Mar 5, 07:15 3
- Biden should have run with COVID rather than Harris? -- nm - Mop Mar 5, 07:24 2
  - No way, not with his risk profile. -- nm - Fozzie Baron Mar 5, 07:27 1
    - And we all thought that Harris agreed to be VP because she just was waiting for him to die! - Mop Mar 5, 07:46
Shaun news network: Developers had to patch the demo for Outriders because players were exploiting a bug to farm legendary items -- (link) - decline Mar 5, 07:08 5
- Big demo update is happening right now. I played thru it, but didn't really farm. It's pretty fun. A bit rough around the edges though. -- (edited) - Shaun Mar 5, 07:11 4
  - they should nerf the items to piss off the farmers :) -- nm - decline Mar 5, 07:17
  - Same here. Not quite my kind of game, as I'm getting worse and worse with shooters as I age (hah!), but it's a fun change of pace.. (NM) - Marlowe Mar 5, 07:16 2

dumbdumbdumb Detroit mayor declines Johnson & Johnson allotment, saying the other vaccines are better -- (link) - ty97 Mar 5, 07:01 6
- Can Detroitans ask for another mayor, since others are better? (NM) - Marlowe Mar 5, 07:15
- So what's going to end up happening is Biden will be right in that there is enough vaccine to immunize all adults by whatever date. But actually.. - IAmQale Mar 5, 07:09
- really? the article I read on that earlier said he declined because they said they had enough supply -- nm - oblique Mar 5, 07:08 2
  - And honestly, if you have enough of the tier one, why get the tier two? -- nm - Spawn Mar 5, 09:04
  - This article says that as well. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 5, 07:09
- *smh* -- nm - znufrii Mar 5, 07:01
So, if the Dems remove the filibuster now, could they just vote it back in October of next year? - Inigo Mar 5, 06:55 17
- I've read a couple articles that say the Senate should flip it from 60 votes to stop to 40 votes to continue -- (link) - oblique Mar 5, 07:13
- It’s the precedent that it sets. There would be nothing to stop the gop from removing it again next time they are in charge. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 5, 06:56 15
  - The GOP will most likely remove it either way if they gain power back. - Inigo Mar 5, 06:58 9
    - I mean they’ve had every chance to do it and haven’t. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 07:09 8
      - They haven't needed to, and where they did, it was removed: Judges -- nm - TWuG Mar 5, 07:16 1
        
        And then they removed it for the Supreme Court. -- nm - pmb Mar 5, 07:27
      - It would have done them no good when they had the Senate but the Dems had the House. -- nm - Inigo Mar 5, 07:11 5
        
        2017-2019 they had the House, the Senate, and the Presidency -- nm - crash davis Mar 5, 07:13 4
        
        And what got stopped by the filibuster during that time (nothing IIRC) -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 07:14 3
        
        And all sorts of stuff got kicked out of the tax cuts by the Parliamentarian. -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 07:19
        
        You don't think they would have passed all sorts of crazy shit with the chance to? -- nm - spamlet Mar 5, 07:16 1
        
        Why would they bother with legislation when their main focus has been cementing their ideological control of the courts? - znufrii Mar 5, 07:28
  - The GOP will do it themselves eventually. The question really is only when. -- nm - IAmQale Mar 5, 06:57
  - The GOP's gonna do it the first time they need/want anyway. -- nm - ty97 Mar 5, 06:57 3
    - Honestly I don't care. Use the advantage you have to institute the changes and policies you want in place. If they change them, they change them. -- (edited) - Volnelk Mar 5, 07:14
    - Except Dems will probably just manage to roll over anyway so Mitch won’t actually need to go that far. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 5, 06:59
    - Yes. We've moved past the point of realizing they're not just opportunistic and craven, but truly vile and dangerous. So, thanks Trump? -- nm - IAmQale Mar 5, 06:58
Pippy: Let Me Tell You A Story sounds like something I'd be interested in. Let me put it on my Paramount+ watchlist. OH WAIT. I CAN'T. - IAmQale Mar 5, 06:52
