- I think legally you have to -- nm - Jovian Jun 2, 10:50 1
  - I'm aware. If there were other boats on the scene, they could have delegated. - Beryllium Jun 2, 10:53

  - I assume you've already been dispatched to talk some sense into the one negative review on RT. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 2, 10:47
- Bensalem is closest which is a bit of a hike, no way I’m going to New Jersey. -- nm - znufrii Jun 2, 10:40 1
  - Everything is legal in New Jersey. nm - Revali Jun 2, 10:51
- Thanks 8-) -- nm - JD Jun 2, 10:40
- Dang - we have one, but it's on Sunday. We're still camping on Sunday. Dammit. nm - Revali Jun 2, 10:36 3
  - Here's the perfect excuse to not go camping. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 2, 10:51 1
    - No way man, I've been looking forward to this for weeks. spoiler - Revali Jun 2, 10:52
  - Priorities, man! I may be travelling to Michigan that day but maybe I could delay that trip a few hours :) -- nm - oblique Jun 2, 10:39
i swear it's like the entire HR staff of this company are just a bunch of degens from up country. - Diva Jun 2, 10:18 12
- The immutable law of people justifying their pay checks -- nm - con_carne Jun 2, 10:57
- Ours is like this as well, but some of them are international degens -- nm - JaxSean Jun 2, 10:28 3
  - Outsourced HR becoming more the norm -- nm - budice Jun 2, 10:31 2
    - I don't think ours is outsourced. We're just global, and HR seems to have a lot of turnover themselves. - JaxSean Jun 2, 10:37 1
      - de. gens. -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 10:45
- LYC: I had to let someone go today - oblique Jun 2, 10:26 3
  - I care. Was it covid-related or just 'bad at their job' related? (or something else...) -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 10:28 2
    - the second -- nm - oblique Jun 2, 10:29 1
      - oof. -- nm - Diva Jun 2, 10:30

Here's Fightful on what the WWE is doing. -- (link) - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:14 9
- I just don’t see Vince selling it. Unless… Wait, when was the last time someone actually saw Vince? -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 10:15 8
  - In the back of my mind I keep think the Rock and his EX are building up assests and relationships to possibly attempt to purchase it -- nm - eag Jun 2, 10:41 2
    - He'd need over $5 Billion to do it. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 10:44 1
      - Not totally out of the question especially with a few partnerships -- nm - eag Jun 2, 10:55
  - MGM asked for $5 billion and got $8.45 billion. And Rupert Murdoch sold most Fox assets. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:25 4
    - Now THAT I can see. It would have to be a deal like that. But he did just get that Peacock money for 5 years. Does NBC/Universal - Remlik Jun 2, 10:41 3
      - Let's be clear. The company only got $200 million annually for Peacock, and it's a net of only $90 million. - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:45 2
        
        I think they are going to be in a for a rude awakening in terms of live shows...the amount of concerts and 'real' sporting events - Remlik Jun 2, 10:57 1
        
        AEW as well better stick to 1 live show in the under 10K seaters for now as well -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 10:58

Looks like Coach K will be retiring after the coming NCAA season. -- (link) - Krusty Jun 2, 10:06 2
- It's smart of them to hint at a succession plan right now. UNC did well in keeping its search insular, but I doubt that happens twice. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:11 1
  - Yup. It's very much about recruiting and making sure the kids and their families know who will be running things. -- nm* - Krusty Jun 2, 10:14
Another David thinks WWE is for sale. - the wrong element Jun 2, 09:52 13
- Jeez. The market cap of WWE is $4.2bil. I wouldn't have guessed nearly that high. -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 10:39 1
  - It's gotten as high as $7.75 billion, but the last two years were rough on it. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:46
- I’ll buy it for tree-fiddy. -- nm - Qale Jun 2, 10:12
- Let’s be real...they might not be for sale. They managed capital so badly in 2018/19 to keep AEW from talent, they are likely double-staffed - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:57 1
  - That wouldn't explain how they just merged divisions that weren't redundant. Nick Khan has positioned them as a media company to buy. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:12
- sad thing is that Santanna Garret was called up to debut on Smackdown this friday. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 09:53 7
  - She dates Chasyn Rance and was posting Fuck Biden boat pics over the holiday. She got herself fired. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 09:56 6
    - oof. yeah that will do it. Shanna at AEW was posting Anti-muslim tweets in France so she's gone. -- nm - Remlik Jun 2, 10:02 2
      - Oh God, I missed that. Do you have a link? -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:13 1
        
        here...plus she wasnt nice to the extras backstage -- (link) - Remlik Jun 2, 10:47
    - This is Rance. -- (link) - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 09:56 2
      - Is that Ricochet’s buddy? -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 2, 09:58 1
        
        It is, yes. -- nm - David, Horny New Guy Jun 2, 10:10
The final season of Kim's Convenience is now on Netflix. -- (link) - Shaun Jun 2, 09:37 3

- Which ever city gives the biggest bri-- DAMMIT, COLIN! -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:44 2
  - they don't call me johnny quick fingers for nothing. - colin Jun 2, 09:45 1
    - Yeah, that's not why they call you-- DAMMIT, COLIN! -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:47
- no city is willing to bribe at the level required. - colin Jun 2, 09:43 1
  - That's a nice tournament you've got there. Be a shame if something happened to it. -- nm - Jersey Jun 2, 09:48
Jessica Chastain looks Oscar-worthy as Tammy Faye Bakker first look images from the biopic The Eyes of Tammy Faye -- (link) - budice Jun 2, 09:34 12
- Making bold assumptions from a single photograph is TIGHT. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 10:04 1
  - (Honestly, any time I watch a non-Pitch Meeting screen rant video, I come away disappointed.) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 10:05
- back in my college daze (early 1980's) we would get really high and watch the PTL club with Jim and Tammy Faye for fun.(bored mis-spent youth) -- nm - JenBro Jun 2, 09:57
- Yes, you can tell from a still picture that a performance is worthy of an Oscar. -- nm - the wrong element Jun 2, 09:41 1
  - look at the exquisite folds in her furrowed brow. -- nm - colin Jun 2, 09:44
- How the eff can she look Oscar-worth in a photo, Screen Rant? The make-up? Maybe.. Her? Too early to tell.. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 2, 09:40 3
  - Old and busted: getting an actress who looks like the subject. The new hotness: getting an ingenue to "undergo a transformation" so she can be - con_carne Jun 2, 09:54 2
    - Huh. What did you just call me? -- nm - Kirk Lazarus si Jun 2, 10:43
    - New? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 2, 09:55
- Nah, she doesn't look enough like a drag queen. - . Jun 2, 09:36 1
  - with all the makeup Bakker used they could/should cast Gaboury Sidibe, its just wrong to turn GOAT beauty into a potato -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 2, 11:26
- Showdown with Princess Di. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:35

  - yup -- nm - Beaker Jun 2, 09:32
I'm tired of my current printer. Rather than buying more ink, I might buy a new printer. Recommendations? - Mop Jun 2, 09:26 22
- I have Brother laser printers (I have a B&W for heavy printing and color printer/scanner/copier. They're pretty reasonably priced, very fast - pmb Jun 2, 09:55 2
  - We just got a new Brother and like it. Recommended in Consumer Reports, too. -- nm - mara Jun 2, 10:09
  - I've had success with Brother in the past. I like that they have separate cartridges. But my current Brother is too slow. -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:59
- I got a monochrome Brother printer and have been damn near giddy at how fast and well it prints. F*ck HP printers from here on out. -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 2, 09:54 2

    - Same. The library is completely free so if they're open I go there. If I worked from home and needed to print documents that would be different. - Krusty Jun 2, 10:09
  - same. -- nm - colin Jun 2, 09:41
- Get the shaq network printer+scanner. I have it. It's fantastic. -- nm* - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:35 2
  - Is that a specific model? Don't they all basically have wifi? -- nm - Mop Jun 2, 09:44 1
    - ET-2760 -- nm - Beryllium Jun 2, 09:55
- b&w or color? -- nm - colin Jun 2, 09:33 3
  - His IM indicates color. -- nm - Spawn Jun 2, 09:34 2
    - gotcha. avoid inkjet at all costs, get a Brother printer with a cartridge. new cartridge is $75, but they have 3000 page capacity. - colin Jun 2, 09:39 1

        Once again, the conservative sandwich-heavy portfolio pays off for the hungry investor. -- nm - Barontronic Jun 2, 09:23
We watched My Octopus Teacher on Netflix. It is long, but we really enjoyed it. I need to go back and find the time marker but the last part of it -- (edited) - Spawn Jun 2, 09:11 [youtube] 10
