Wow. So apparently Miz wrecked his knee in the middle of that match and continued on. It was a pre-tape so they had options but he finished - Will Hunting May 19, 09:05 8
- This is like his first significant injury which is really amazing. -- nm - pmb May 19, 09:58
- Is that advisable though? Could he be doing more damage? -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:06 3
  - (not taking away from him powering through, I'm just curious) -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:07 2
    - James Bond is the only one here who can say for sure. Once something is torn, I think that's the worst. I guess the tear could grow in some spots. -- nm - David May 19, 09:08 1
      - I'm pretty sure there are such things as partial tears and full tears - Strongbad May 19, 09:13

  - I do not follow crypto very much. If you would have told me last year when BC was under 9K that it would now be at 37K I would have laughed - sycor May 19, 09:09 2
    - as you should, it's ludicrous that something with no value backing it can be worth that. - colin May 19, 09:17 1
      - Everything is made up and the points don't matter. -- nm - Beryllium May 19, 09:32

- Second line from the bottom, nobody counted Aly & AJ? Weren't they a Disney channel thing? -- nm - pmb May 19, 09:50 1
  - I think I'm done with the full 4 day passes, but I think I'll get tix for the days with Foo Fighters and Miley Cyrus. -- nm - pmb May 19, 09:55
- 27. Lowest two are on the 3rd from the bottom: Absofacto and Taylor Janzen -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 09:18
- 11. The bottom 10 lines are all made up in some sort of money laundering scheme. -- nm - Volnelk May 19, 09:14 6
  - I feel like this should be a game show a la Name That Tune where contestants challenge each other on how far down the list they can go. -- nm - Barontronic May 19, 09:15 5
    - Dano, Jax, JD, and Reagen would be your final 4 every season -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:15 4
      - And their winnings would go toward the building of the ST Compound. -- nm - Barontronic May 19, 09:18
      - (which one of them is Duke I wonder?) -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:16 2
        
        I feel like Dano is Gonzaga -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:16 1
        
        Yeah. I'm the newcomer upstart. The Pandemic has gotten me more back into music. -- nm - Dano May 19, 09:18

  - Heh. The Aquadolls sounded familiar and in checking Spotify not only have liked some of their songs, I think I saw them at one of the Burger A Go-Gos -- nm - JD May 19, 09:11
  - OK, I counted... 42 -- nm - Dano May 19, 09:11
- 31 but I'm not counting names I learned from the recent batch of lineups unless I started listening to them. -- nm - Reagen May 19, 09:08
- The second line made me go back and read it again: Marshmello Illenium Journey Megan Thee Stallion Roddy Rich. Wait. Journey? -- nm - JD May 19, 09:06 4
  - They've been touring with their Steve Perry replacement for, like, decades -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:07 3
    - (the lead singer is supposed to be good) -- nm - ty97 May 19, 09:08 2
      - Lead singer since 2007 -- (link) - ty97 May 19, 09:08 1
        
        This I knew. It was just the placement and surrounding acts -- nm - JD May 19, 09:10

  - I'm old. 7 and Jimmy Eat World is my lowest -- nm - Dean Winchester May 19, 09:01 5

    - bout the same. i can't tell if it's being old or just having trouble (or lack of time) to find new music. -- nm - colin May 19, 09:02 3
      - Definitely been missing my morning drive listen to wxpn, they’re pretty good at featuring new talent. -- nm - znufrii May 19, 09:04
      - If you're old, you ought to recognize Aly & AJ? -- nm - JD May 19, 09:03 1
        
        Yup, that's my lowest. -- nm - spamlet May 19, 09:05
My parents always give me $$ for my birthday. Do I want to use it to buy A) New pair of Nike Air Pegasus shoes or B) New Kindle Fire? - Dark Callisto May 19, 08:42 9
- Fuck Amazon! -- nm - IAmQale May 19, 10:59
- You know I'll always say go with the sneakers but if you really need a new Kindle and plan on traveling more soon I say go with that. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 09:04
- I would wait for the Kindle to go on sale (if they aren't currently). -- nm - sycor May 19, 08:56
- It's gotta be the shoes! -- nm - Mars Blackmon May 19, 08:47
- Latest versions of Fire/Kindles did seem to have a clearance sale -- nm - budice May 19, 08:46

McConnell: nyet -- (link) - mud May 19, 08:22 8
- DOJ/FBI still get to investigate and prosecute, right? What does a commission really add except for allowing politicians more bloviating opportunities -- nm - Dano May 19, 08:39 4
  - DOJ/FBI will only concern themselves with explicitly criminal matters. A commission can look into the context and causes and complicity. - znufrii May 19, 08:42 2
    - And potentially address the issues through legislative means to prevent further events. -- nm - pmb May 19, 08:52 1
      - That's the most insane thing to me that I don't see being addressed. - Max May 19, 09:11

I've been planning a trip out to the desert casino but am now considering my possible route. People are still being shot at on the 91 Fwy :( - Meg May 19, 08:04 6
- While I'd never doubt you Meg, I thought you'd have set them straight by now. -- nm - IAmQale May 19, 08:09 3
  - That’s why she’s reconsidering her route to include the 91, to take care of the issue. :) -- nm* - znufrii May 19, 08:11 2
    - Oh! Of course. How could I be so foolish? -- nm - IAmQale May 19, 08:19 1
      - *nods* questioning meg... I feel like you better be careful how many more black marks you get. -- nm - tRuMAN May 19, 08:42
- I have no heard about this. But man, people suck. Hope you can find a safer route. -- nm - sycor May 19, 08:07 1

Early morning talk: I *always* use my hand brake / parking brake. Why? Habit, I guess. Necessary? Not really. - Mop May 19, 07:51 12
- If you want sneaker advice/options you gotta wait until I'm around. ;-) - Krusty May 19, 07:56 4
  - Saw your post from B2 and thank you. Although I have scoured the Vans website. I wonder if these "dad shoes" (they're labeled "skater shoes"!) are exclusive to retailers. -- (edited) - Mop May 19, 08:08 3
    - My best guess is they're from last year. Just leftover unsold stock or unworn returns. They send them to Kohl's/Marshalls, etc. -- (edited) - Krusty May 19, 08:29 2
      - ebay. -- nm - amanda jeans May 19, 08:49 1
        
        I used to get amazing deals on deadstock through eBay. That's gone now. -- nm - Krusty May 19, 09:13
- Is your vehicle a manual? -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 07:53 6

    - Then why would you use it? (Unless you're on a hill) -- nm - JaxSean May 19, 08:46 4
      - Habit, I guess. I don't like that quarter-inch rollback my car does when I release the brake pedal. -- nm - Mop May 19, 09:07 3
        
        From what I read today using your e-brake will stop that and take the strain off the pawl. - Krusty May 19, 09:11 2
        
        SEE? I think this means I'm right and everyone else is wrong! -- nm - Mop May 19, 09:18 1
        
        Ha! Yup! 👍🏼 -- nm - Krusty May 19, 09:22
