WAIT! Peacock is doing a Dan Brown show about Robert Langdon (Tom hanks' movies)?? -- (link) - Beaker May 18, 11:57 [youtube] 8
- Do people not listen to our podcast? -- nm - Mop May 18, 12:16 6
  - I did! But I'll be honest podcasts are not for me. I get distracted reading something and miss a bunch, then have to relisten and a 30 minute pod - Beaker May 18, 12:18 4
    - nm -- nm* - decline May 18, 12:20
    - if I had a commute I'd be all over it -- nm - Beaker May 18, 12:19 2
      - That's when I listen to them most. At home I throw them on when I'm cleaning, doing things around the house or showering. I listened to much less - Krusty May 18, 12:23
      - you could jump into your car and just drive around the neighborhood a few times while you listen and pretend you are commuting someplace -- nm - decline May 18, 12:20
  - You have a podcast? - Spawn May 18, 12:17
- Lost Lobe Myths? Belly Shots, Tom? Bless Tom Hotly? Holy Ms. Bottles? My Bottle Slosh? He Mostly Bolts? Thy Bosom Tells? - Beryllium May 18, 12:04

  - nah, this one's a-ok 'cause I got that paramount+ deal awhile back (and never use it) -- nm - decline May 18, 11:56 6
    - Yeah but now Spawn will have nothing to watch after his weekly Chuck Lorre block -- nm - con_carne May 18, 12:03 5
      - Nah, I will just hang out at decline's. -- nm - Spawn May 18, 12:06 4
        
        Oh, I was reading your reply as a "network loses confidence in my favorite show" type of reaction. Is that the commentary? Oh well, it's my commentary -- nm - con_carne May 18, 12:10 3
        
        I am so used to it I don't even know anymore. Prodigal Son last week, Evil this week. The Rookie is the only show I have left. -- nm - Spawn May 18, 12:17 2
        
        I mean, you bailed on Justified and stuck with a CBS cop drama. Seems to me, you're just getting what you deserve there buddy *back pat* -- nm - con_carne May 18, 12:22
        
        have you tried Travellers yet? It's great. -- nm - mud May 18, 12:21
  - It's sorta evil of them -- nm - ty97 May 18, 11:56 4
    - (I've never even heard of this show) -- nm - ty97 May 18, 11:57 3
      - it's actually a really great show -- nm - decline May 18, 12:08
      - CBS renewed it after only four episodes. The pandemic really messed this one up, but it's The Good Fight people. So, they're used to it. -- nm - David May 18, 12:07
      - It is in m top 3 new shows the last couple of years. Too dark for the network, really. -- nm* - Spawn May 18, 11:58
Here, have a lady bug and ignore what David is saying. -- (link) - Beryllium May 18, 11:51 [flickr] 3

Two episodes into Jupiter's Legacy, I'm kinda stunned by how terrible it is. -- nm - David May 18, 11:50 9
- I really liked it. Maybe I was blinded by Chloe - Jovian May 18, 11:57
- I think that the only agreement that you and I could come to on this topic is that it is inferior to Invincible. -- nm - Beryllium May 18, 11:54 2
  - Suck is suck. -- nm - David May 18, 11:57 1
    - You're trying hard to be the initial investor in OpinCoin. -- nm - Beryllium May 18, 11:58
- yep. Somehow I kept at it until the last episode, which was actually interesting. Excruciating dialogue and ridiculous narrative until then -- nm - mud May 18, 11:52
- I have a friend that worked doing post in it, he warned me to stay away from it because Netflix got too much in the way of the creator's intent. (NM) - Marlowe May 18, 11:52 3
  - I can easily see that but as a whole the season was still great. -- nm - Spawn May 18, 12:00 2
    - I suspect its awfulness gave you eye shingles. -- nm - David May 18, 12:09 1
      - Worth i... well, okay. -- nm - Spawn May 18, 12:18
my car was hit and run a few weeks ago. there was a witness, who left me the license plate number of the car who hit me. - amanda jeans May 18, 11:49 5
- here, if i understand correctly, any hit and run is a $50 deductible by law.. kind of nice -- nm - colin May 18, 11:58 1
  - here it comes off your comprehensive coverage IF you have it, and get stuck with its deductable $500 unless they can tag the other driver - zeitgeist May 18, 12:10
- thank god for good samaritans -- nm - decline May 18, 11:55
- Sucks that it happened to you but I'm glad they got him and things will work out in your favor. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 11:53

- And Whiskey Cavalier! -- nm - MDH May 18, 11:49
- And Go On, yes! -- nm - David May 18, 11:42 1

Dano and I play at 5pm. The first one to 50 wins. -- nm - Will Hunting May 18, 11:28 2
- I'm just bummed that there's not a pace slower than "Slow" that I can pick for my team. -- nm - Dano May 18, 12:14
- Baron, I had briefly shortlisted Miles Brown (but will look elsewhere). I have him as top-25 but he doesn't score so you might be looking at 3/3? -- nm - rollo May 18, 11:33
“… they’re all fucking short-bus people,” -- (link) - mud May 18, 11:21 2
- bullshit, maga hats are just the kind of smug assholes who would look down on short bus losers -- nm - zeitgeist May 18, 11:40
- I forget who first mentioned it here, but the term “cognitively vulnerable” seems particularly apt. - znufrii May 18, 11:23

- This will be your album cover when you drop your EP -- nm - JaxSean May 18, 11:53
- Very nice! Cute pooches! -- nm - Krusty May 18, 10:54
- nice! -- nm - Beryllium May 18, 10:50
- How big is it relative to say a Soul? (the car, not the dog) -- nm - oblique May 18, 10:49 4
  - Almost the same size but about nine inches longer. Same height and width. More than double the range, which was the most important factor - Edward Havens May 18, 10:54 3
    - excellent. thanks. Sounds great. We are retiring my wife's Sorento later this year and I've been looking at the Niro but she does enjoy the "up - oblique May 18, 10:55 2
      - Wouldn't the six inches for the battery sledge encourage higher podium and high rise design -- nm - zeitgeist May 18, 11:05
      - Niro is about the same size as my crosstrek, so it sits a bit higher, but nothing like larger suvs. -- nm - tRuMAN May 18, 11:04
RIP Charles Grodin -- nm - Jovian May 18, 10:42 18
- Okay, this makes me very sad. -- nm - Spawn May 18, 11:55
- Funny Charles Grodin story. A long time ago (probably 25 years now), one of my partners went to his book signing with a tape recorder and asked him - pmb May 18, 11:50 1
  - nice -- nm - budice May 18, 11:58
- RIP. I got a major dose of him and many others binge watching old Siskel and Ebert recently -- nm - con_carne May 18, 11:07

    - "These are all bad. These are good." - Inigo May 18, 11:04 1
      - his "I'm just saying, if I *were* your accountant" way of getting the last word in kills me every time -- nm - prayformojo May 18, 11:20
- His performance in The Great Muppet Caper is *chef's kiss*. -- nm - Dark Callisto May 18, 10:47 1
  - yes -- nm - budice May 18, 10:57
- I was just coming to share the news. He was a good and funny actor for a bit. - Krusty May 18, 10:44 3
  - Oh I loved him in everything. Midnight Run, Clifford, It Seems Like Old Times, and - Jovian May 18, 10:46 2
    - My issues with him are not with his acting. -- nm - Krusty May 18, 10:53 1
      - oh I know -- nm - Jovian May 18, 10:55
- :( -- nm - budice May 18, 10:43
And in my first regular season game as head coach, my center picked up 2 fouls in the first minute. - Barontronic May 18, 10:34 4
- The game engine can be frustrating. Make that guy practice speed/agility to improve his positioning and not give up those ticky tack fouls, coach! -- nm - rollo May 18, 10:40 3
  - Never a problem for him in scrimmages or exhibitions. Don't know what happened. He has E level athleticism. -- nm - Barontronic May 18, 10:47 2
    - I'm mostly teasing ... refer to my first point. In real life good players have bad games or bad matchups too -- nm - rollo May 18, 11:04 1
      - Yup yup. I was mostly annoyed with him b/c the other team didn't have anyone over 6-6. He was supposed to feast. - Barontronic May 18, 11:13
