Blue Diamond Bold Spicy Dill Pickle flavor Almonds are not as good as their other flavors. That is all I really have to share right now. -- nm - crash davis Apr 5, 11:46 6
- Of course not. It probably tastes like pickles. - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 12:13
- you should have posted this for the amusing thread below. I would be amused that you thought they would be. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 5, 11:47 4
  - right. Dill pickle flavour belongs on chips, not nuts. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:51 3
    - Dill pickle flavored items belong in the trash. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 5, 12:14 1

- Too much. I should be getting some soon from Progressive. They send them out periodically for your smoke detectors. -- nm - IAmQale Apr 5, 11:53

- So, last night my cat was by the back door... -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 11:37 2
  - I mean, if you were a better cat father, you would have fought off the other cat for your cat. -- nm - tRuMAN Apr 5, 11:39 1
    - Also I would have a better screen door that my cat would just bounce off instead of flying through -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 11:41
Oh, forgot to tell you guys. Last night our cat started howling at the back door. This is not totally uncommon. There is a "stray" cat that comes - oblique Apr 5, 11:30 5
- So it wasn’t a ghost... this time. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:34
- West Side Cat Story -- nm* - stim-mie Apr 5, 11:34
- next time leave a knife by the back door so they can really get into it -- nm - decline Apr 5, 11:33 2
  - This is the same cat that we recently had to have surgery on to remove a giant hairball. He's expensive and shouldn't be getting into patio fights :) -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 11:34 1
    - but what if the hairball was his defensive move and you negated it with surgery and now the rival cat gang is going to win the next brawl -- nm - decline Apr 5, 11:45
I just bought a humidifier in hopes it will help alleviate my chronic sinus issues. I'm a little surprised it wasn't a smart device like MUG. -- nm - IAmQale Apr 5, 11:26

I just sent a tech salesman I needed to talk to a zoom link. "do I just click on the link?" he asked. seems legit. -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 5, 11:11 8
- A salesman is a salesman, not a techie. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:13 7
  - a "tech salesman" -- nm - stim-mie Apr 5, 11:16 6
    - Yes, one of those terms supersedes the other. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:21 5
      - "im all about enteraining the customers: strippers, dinner, drinks. Tech stuff it too advanced for me" -- nm - tech salesman Apr 5, 11:25
      - I mean, if he's trying to sell us on why online testing portal is better than another, he should know how to use "online." -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 5, 11:25 2
        
        I concur. It just seems that the people who *hire* tech salesman view that as inessential. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:28 1
        
        ... I'm not even going to bother pluralizing or gender neutralizing that. heh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 11:29
      - (Bery gets points for spelling "supersede" correctly) -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Apr 5, 11:25

- *licks more doorknobs* -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 11:12 1
  - It's sort of wild when I come across corners of the internet that are doom and gloom about the vaccines and assume nothing is working - Reagen Apr 5, 11:33
Eeeesh Spirit Airlines, thats a reallly bad look. -- nm - Jovian Apr 5, 10:51 16
- I don't think Spirit ever gave a shit how they looked. -- nm - IAmQale Apr 5, 11:04 3
  - Stripper Air, how most get around from place to place -- nm - stim-mie Apr 5, 11:12 2

      - Any number who board out of LA. Are young with the LV/Gucci Bags. Hair and Long Nails done to max. The Heels, jewelry. Usually group per flight -- nm - stim-mie Apr 5, 11:18
- oops link - Jovian Apr 5, 10:53 10
  - More than likely this shouldn't happen, but there are zero instances when arguments with flight attendants will go well for you. -- nm - IAmQale Apr 5, 11:09
  - I thought the rule was under 5 it's not required (because just try making them comply) -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 10:58 7
    - Under 2 is not required. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 11:00 3
      - (I don't know how you get a 2 year old to keep a mask on, but that's the FAA rule) -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 11:01 2
        
        bennett's daughter is pretty great about her mask. she's almost 3, has been mask-compliant since pre-age 2. -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 5, 11:04 1
        
        I think that's great. But there's definitely kids that you won't be able to reason with at that age. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:16
    - Also a Special-Needs child -- nm - stim-mie Apr 5, 10:59 2
      - Reading the thread, I think the special needs child may have been the child on a Frontier flight a couple of weeks back? - ty97 Apr 5, 11:01 1
        
        There's a reference to special needs in this video. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:02
  - flight attendant who ordered the family off the flight was removed, family allowed back on. Passengers are reboarding with a new flight crew. -- nm* - budice Apr 5, 10:55
- ??? -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 10:52

- Remember kids, Dr. Mario is not a real doctor. -- nm - IAmQale Apr 5, 11:20
- I put my vaccination card in my passport, so now my vaccination passport is a passport and vice versa. the hardest part of it - amanda jeans Apr 5, 11:07
- durr... -- nm - Diva Apr 5, 10:55
- international travel to many places requires proof of vaccines. dude. -- nm* - Andie Apr 5, 10:51
- How is he an actual MD? -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 5, 10:47 1
  - I know he is an addiction specialist. -- nm - Spawn Apr 5, 11:07
- Does he not realize you already have to get other vaccinations to go to many countries? -- nm - jnine Apr 5, 10:39 2
  - It's not a total surprise but this pandemic has really exposed how many people are just overgrown toddlers. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:02

"WB made the right call." -- (link) - Max Apr 5, 10:23 8
- Meh. This is missing a lot of numbers that WB (and Disney for their movies) won’t share. - Will Hunting Apr 5, 10:27 7
  - Yep, we can't see the whole picture yet. But the Raya and the Last Dragon data suggests that exhibitors should be worried. -- nm - Mop Apr 5, 11:08 5
    - What data? -- nm - Will Hunting Apr 5, 11:11 4
      - Streaming numbers for Raya indicate a 50-100M "opening weekend" with premium on demand. -- nm - Reagen Apr 5, 11:18 3
        
        Does streaming count multiple people watching from one purchase aka sharing accounts? - Will Hunting Apr 5, 11:40 2
        
        That’s the unknowable variable. Given on the minutes viewed, it can be anywhere between $50mil and $100mil. - Mop Apr 5, 11:50 1
        
        There was probably a few more million from purchases on other digital platforms - Reagen Apr 5, 11:53
  - Hope you don't have net points -- nm - Baron on the Cairn Apr 5, 10:35

kilbo, regardless of which rental agency you go with, just remember - ty97 Apr 5, 10:15 13
- Google Maps seems to think that I can take I-87N over the Willis Avenue bridge and not pay any tolls to get from midtown to purhcase - oblique Apr 5, 10:19 12
  - Make sure they take out whatever toll thing they have. Otherwise, you will get charged for both. - JaxSean Apr 5, 10:39
  - There are certainly ways to get to Westchester without paying a toll. You're not getting to Newark without tolls though. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 10:24 10
    - and I don't know if our tolling systems recognize I-Pass -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 10:25 7
      - it apparently does (also: Google Maps says you're wrong) -- (link) - oblique Apr 5, 10:27 5
        
        give yourself plenty of extra time -- nm - decline Apr 5, 10:34 2
        
        yeah, gonna need an extra couple of days on the car -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 10:40
        
        I figured like Boston tolls would be a pre-requisite. I just want to make sure to avoid any via the car rental agency. They tack on extra surcharges -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 10:36
        
        LOL enjoy that roundabout neverending ride. -- nm - ty97 Apr 5, 10:29 1

  - yogurt or a granola bar? like a normal person? -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 5, 11:07
- Only MUG approved appliances are allowed in the kitchen -- nm - oblique Apr 5, 10:20
- Is it particularly aesthetic? Maybe it deserves to stay on that value alone. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 5, 10:14 1
  - my counters are more beautiful than is my toaster. -- nm - amanda jeans Apr 5, 10:17
