Alabama Shakes drummer Steven William Johnson arrested on multiple child abuse charges -- (link) - Remlik Mar 28, 09:34 1
- Last March, Johnson pled guilty to violating a protection from abuse order in 2019 after his ex-wife accused him of threatening and harassing her, bre -- (edited) - Mop Mar 28, 09:39
Funky! This is the Ericsson Globe in Stockholm, the arena where the World Figure Skating Championships are being held. -- (link) - Mop Mar 28, 09:11
Anyone recommend a beer tracking app they like? I’m picky about beer and can never remember what I like. I’d like to track ratings. - Dano Mar 28, 09:05 2
- Try this -- (link) - TWuG Mar 28, 09:09 1
  - That’s the one. -- nm - Volnelk Mar 28, 09:20
Amanda, how'd you like the ID.4? -- nm - TWuG Mar 28, 08:59 14
- Of the 3 EV SUVs (EUVs?) I'me considering, I'm most likely to get the ID.4 but I hate it. - Mop Mar 28, 09:04 13
  - Volvo discount well and they sell their prior loaner vehicles so I wouldn't rule it out without really trying to see if you can get a good price -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Mar 28, 09:41
  - The Mach-E looks good and interacts seamlessly with Electrify America chargers. - TWuG Mar 28, 09:13 1
    - Yep. It’s telling how bad VW is at technology that they *built* Electrify America and the Mach E has less trouble with their chargers than the ID.4. -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 09:15
  - So....if you hate the car, given it's tens of thousands of dollars, why not go get something you like? -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 28, 09:11 9
    - I hate the entertainment system but it’s an EV that’s large enough for my family and it’s the right price. - Mop Mar 28, 09:14 8
      - if you think its anywhere near the size of an atlas, think again. -- nm - amanda jeans Mar 28, 09:21 2
        
        Fortunately, I don’t need an Atlas. I’m looking to downsize. -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 09:22 1
        
        oh inter. "It has about an extra inch of legroom in the first and second row compared to the 2020 Tiguan." - amanda jeans Mar 28, 09:25
      - I literally never use the entertainment system. I plug in my phone and use CarPlay. Unless you’re using the radio you never would. -- nm - spamlet Mar 28, 09:15 4
        
        It’s just such a bad omen. - Mop Mar 28, 09:19 2
        
        Do the ID.4 or Mach-E have voice commands? - TWuG Mar 28, 09:26 1
        
        Hmm, good question. The ID.4 has a number of voice commands, although I don’t know if they do that. And, from the demos I’ve seen, they don’t work, period. -- nm* - Mop Mar 28, 09:27
        
        Unfortunately, the UI on the screen is how you adjust a lot of settings for driving and charging, so it can't be ignored entirely. - TWuG Mar 28, 09:17
So, the 3 possible outcomes in the Slacker Bracket -- me, Beaker or Krusty with only 2 games mattering left. Michigan/Alabama and Zaga/Baylor. - Will Hunting Mar 28, 08:46 7

is any tech support here? I changed my work password on friday and I can only access one drive from the web, not from a file explorer window. - amanda jeans Mar 28, 08:45 4
- Are you on your home computer? After a password change at work, best to restart whatever computers you're using to sync the password. -- nm - Mop Mar 28, 08:59 1
  - I'm at work, using SSO, wired on the psu newtork (my security is good). I restarted several times on friday to get it to stick. - amanda jeans Mar 28, 09:01

- Ramona's Forever -- nm - Dano Mar 28, 07:07
Baylor, Arkanasas, and Houston? It's like a reunion of the old Southwest Conference. (Not to be confused with the Southwestern Conference) -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 28, 07:03 6

      - And even that was another team from Texas, so partial credit. -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Mar 28, 07:42

Watching Charade from 1963. Twice Walter Matthau has had to explain to Audrey Hepburn who the CIA is. Guess they weren't a household name back then -- nm - crash davis Mar 27, 20:35 13

      - Wow, how does that happen? -- nm - crash davis Mar 27, 21:30 1
        
        I was also curious about this. Apparently, before 1978 you actually had to affix a copyright notice to the work for it to count. -- (edited) - znufrii Mar 27, 21:32
    - We have it on Vudu and Blu-ray. I love this movie. (He’s seen it, he’s just forgotten.) -- nm - kelly Mar 27, 20:47 1

- Also to address the actual argument, there seems to be a school of thought among gun proponents that - Reagen Mar 27, 20:10 3
  - it's a non-sequitur grounded in bad faith. There is no "actual argument", imo. -- nm - znufrii Mar 27, 20:24 2
    - More of a strawman argument - Reagen Mar 27, 20:29 1
      - lightsabers are the way of the future -- (pic) - Peglegpete Mar 27, 20:33 [Attachment]
- I'm definitely through with "just stop fighting" since it ends up with the most unreasonable people leading the conversation. -- nm - Reagen Mar 27, 20:07 3
  - Everyone has their Maslow's hierarchy... Wait. Are you secretly married to Mrs. Beaker too?? -- nm - con_carne Mar 28, 09:28
