First nice beach day = first sunscreen mishap of the summer -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 13, 18:59
Chris Paul is laying waste to the theory of the inefficient mid-range jumper -- nm - JD Jun 13, 18:37 6
- Small sample sizes! -- nm - David Jun 13, 18:46 5
  - *laugh* I think that since Paul sat during the ejection, the Suns have only attempted layups and the occasional three -- nm - JD Jun 13, 18:53
  - 8-) as well as that particular player is older than some ST'ers and has the game to match - JD Jun 13, 18:51

I got bleeped again! -- nm - David Jun 13, 18:26 1

I guess I need to remember to buy a lotto max ticket. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 16:48
One year from today I set sail on the Columbia River. This will be a looong year. -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 16:44 9
- I'm glad you're getting to go. I know you've been wanting to -- nm - crash davis Jun 13, 17:13 1
  - I settled for the shorter cruise so I could spend more time in Portland. -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 17:27
- Sailors. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:51 6
  - I was looking at hotels (again) today. Last time it was the Mark Spencer which I liked, and I think it's a toss-up between them and the Benson. - Meg Jun 13, 16:57 5
    - FWIW, they are both about the same as they were from what I've seen. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 17:11 4
      - Thank you. I'll check those out, I think I've seen them mentioned in my searches. And so long as transportation's not a problem....:) -- nm - Meg Jun 13, 17:26 3
        
        What about McMinnamen's there's like a dozen in OR and WA -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 18:13 1
        
        That's literally what RC had suggested. -- nm* - znufrii Jun 13, 18:31

Anyone else watching the NASCAR All-Star Race? - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:33 4
- JFC, engines finally -- nm - budice Jun 13, 17:00
- I will later tonight. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 16:50
- Get past all the pre-race stuff. yup -- nm - budice Jun 13, 16:40 1
  - I know, right? The drivers' entrance sequence was especially painful. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:43
Former WWE Braun Stroman vs an Elephant -- (link) - Remlik Jun 13, 16:23
I've got to have a procedure tomorrow. So I had to have a COVID test yesterday and self-isolate these past two days. The test was negative. Imagine that -- (edited) - crash davis Jun 13, 16:09 6
- Glad to hear the COVID test was negative. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:12 5
  - Thank you. If it wasn't negative, I'd send a strongly worded letter to Moderna. This county still has a positivity rate because folks won't get the vaccine. -- nm* - crash davis Jun 13, 16:13 4
    - But the magnets ... . -- nm - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:16 3
      - I don't know what the magnets are, but I assume it is some form of lunacy. BTW, if my procedure is successful, I may just treat myself. - crash davis Jun 13, 16:19 2
        
        A. Who wants their car to smell like bigfoot B. lots of MAGAts think the vax magnetizes their body and prove it by showing house keys sticking to them - zeitgeist Jun 13, 18:16 1
        
        Proving only that they need to take more frequent showers -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 18:47
Quiet Place 2 $11.7 ($109), In the Heights $11.4, Peter Rabbit 2 $10.4, Conjuring: Devil Made Me do It $10 ($43.8), Cruella $6.7 ($56) -- (link) - Beaker Jun 13, 16:05 1
- I assume Godzilla vs Kong didn't report anything as not on the list at all -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 16:08
Buncha fucking ghouls were trying to put Eriksen's attack on the vaccine - turns out he wasn't vaccinated. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 15:56 1
- I was wondering if he had had Covid. Heart infection can be a result and exercise can cause damage as a result. For instance that one pitcher. -- nm - . Jun 13, 18:42
It's nice to see such major corporations adopting Pride. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 15:55 19
- But on the other hand ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 15:56 18
  - I think this Corporate Pride Meme has grown extremely out of proportion. I know the younger generations love it, but they have no idea. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 13, 16:05 17
    - I agree with you here. They just do not get it. -- nm - MDH Jun 13, 16:09 16
      - It's like most things. It starts with a kernel of truth. Yes, corporations still aren't your friend. But they've put in some work too. - IAmQale Jun 13, 16:13 15
        
        I think the criticism boils down to “necessary, but insufficient,” but also tends to get wrapped up in the Big Ball of Progressivism - znufrii Jun 13, 16:21 3
        
        I like that Progressives are always developing new ways for people to not like them. They have that ingenuity that made America great. -- nm - crash davis Jun 13, 16:25 1
        
        The progressive’s dilemma, someone who needs help will always be left out. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 17:12
        
        I'm not sure what more I want a corporation to do for me as a gay dude. I mean, a reach around I guess is always welcome. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 13, 16:23
        
        I'm trying to remember the first company that caused quite a stir when they ran a broad, national campaign supporting the community. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:16 5
        
        Subaru? -- nm - Dano Jun 13, 16:20
        
        For us to complain about this would be like Black people upset that now people know what Juneteenth is. It's dumb and I hate it so much. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 13, 16:20 1
        
        *laughing* - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:21
        
        Bennetton? -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 16:17 1
        
        I thought you and Dano were on the right track, but according to this NBC News story I just dug up, we've all missed the mark. (spoilers) - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:26
        
        Seems better to be pandered to rather than ignored or actively worked against, no? - Reagen Jun 13, 16:14 4
        
        To me, it's more of a hypocrisy element. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:20 2
        
        But again, if we want to go down that road, why are we even pretending there is support for the Log Cabin Republicans? This isn't a zero sum game. -- nm - IAmQale Jun 13, 16:22 1
        
        Oh, I know. And I think it's a bit nuanced. - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 16:31
        
        Pandering, courting, wooing, simping... whatever you wanna call it. -- nm* - IAmQale Jun 13, 16:19
EURO: player has cardiac arrest, is resuscitated, encourages teammates to play on. COPA: player trips over blade of grass, rolls around in agony. -- nm* - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 15:51

I think the coolant temperature sensor in my car has gone round the bend. - Barontronic Jun 13, 15:18
Traffic for the Cubs game is heavy, and I'm at least 15 miles away from Wrigley. -- nm - . Jun 13, 15:05
This Golf Leaderboard is a whole lot of “wait, what?” -- nm - MDH Jun 13, 14:38 6
- USOpen Odds: J Rahm 10/1 D Johnson 12/1 B DeChambeau 16/1 B Koepka 16/1 X Schauffele 16/1 J Thomas 18/1 R McIlroy 18/1 J Spieth 18/1 -- (link) - budice Jun 13, 15:50
- Spoils on the winner. - MDH Jun 13, 14:56
- Week before US Open I guess? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 14:41 3
  - What I’m thinking as well. But Van Pelt up there is something after 4 years of injuries. -- nm - MDH Jun 13, 14:44 2
    - I haven't seen Johnnatan Vegas in a long time. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 14:54 1
      - Also true. -- nm - MDH Jun 13, 14:55

Well, I'm glad *that* is solved -- (link) - spamlet Jun 13, 13:42 9
- [citation needed] -- nm - mud Jun 13, 15:09
- WHy didn't anyone do that 4 years ago? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 14:27
- next: sign something to stop global warming and make the plastics in the oceans disappear -- nm - Peglegpete Jun 13, 14:19
- so...nuke china off the map? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 13, 14:09
- "So, we all agree? Pandemics - bad? Cool.cool." -- nm - Andie Jun 13, 13:53 2
  - "Next item, where to order lunch from." -- nm - Tim Jun 13, 14:11 1
    - "I'm feeling like Chinese. You?" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 14:13
- Anyone infected will be immediately shot. The moment an outbreak is declared, all planes will be shot down and cruise ships sunk. -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 13:52 1
  - 28 days later ... "Yep! That solved it. Good job, all." -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 14:06
Wow. Nice comeback here by Ukraine -- nm - Krusty Jun 13, 13:36 7

- Wow, I turned it off at 2-0 to put Cocomelon on -- (edited) - J Jun 13, 13:49 3
  - WTF is Cocomelon? -- nm - JD Jun 13, 18:41 1
    - In our house, magic. - J Jun 13, 19:05

  - It was still nice, just wasn’t enough. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 13, 13:57
Is there a link to the Euro pool spreadsheet? Dave wants to know who i picked and i really don't know. 😄 -- nm - Andie Jun 13, 13:30
"Denmark midfielder Christian Eriksen was "gone" before he was resuscitated after suffering a cardiac arrest, the team's doctor, Morten Boesen, said" -- (link) - prayformojo Jun 13, 13:14 4
- That's bonkers, would never expect someone like that to suffer a heart attack -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 13:23 2
  - Because of this I learned there's a difference between cardiac arrest and a heart attack. - Krusty Jun 13, 13:34 1
    - New to me -- nm - Pippy Jun 13, 14:48
- Really, where it happened is the second-best place it could have happened, first-best being already in a hospital bed -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 13:15
Is Reagen’s on B2 the first ST mention of How I got Into College? - spamlet Jun 13, 13:12 6
- I think amanda is a fan of How I Got Into College. I've only seen it once and a half but it was enjoyable. -- nm - Max Jun 13, 17:44
- Huh the original director was fired a week into filming. -- (link) - spamlet Jun 13, 16:36

- It better be better than Avengers. -- nm - Strongbad, Champ Champ Jun 13, 14:20 1
  - Yup. -- nm - David Jun 13, 14:23
- Black Panther Expansion for Avengers game (this looks cool) -- (link) - budice Jun 13, 12:41
- and that song again! -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 12:41
- Groot will remember that. -- nm - David Jun 13, 12:35
When I read the article, I presumed one of the following: - David Jun 13, 12:28 19
- My thought was DeSantis is an idiot. -- nm - . Jun 13, 18:28
- This came up on Thursday, and my opinion remains the same: The sooner things get out of hand for cruise ships, the sooner they get around to doing the right thing. -- nm* - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 13, 15:53
- These are the current requirements for the cruise I'm taking next June. I'm sure they'll change by then. -- (link) - Meg Jun 13, 13:13
- There was a story a month or 2 ago where a bunch of people flew from Dubai into Turkey with fake covid negative tests. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 13, 13:10
- If those are the only cases, are truly vaccinated, and remain asymptomatic, that's about best case scenario for the industry's first sailing - ty97 Jun 13, 12:29 14
  - This wasn't Florida; it was St. Maarten. -- nm - David Jun 13, 12:32 13
    - oh -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:35 12
      - Well then I will revise my statement with this: Cruises that do NOT port in Florida have a chance -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:36 11
        
        The only chance is if vaccination is required. I have a patient who was opposed to the vaccine... went to travel to Indy... now positive and admitted - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 12:44 9
        
        ugh. -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 12:59
        
        Someone replied to a recent article of mine by saying that it was all about personal responsibility now. - David Jun 13, 12:47 6
        
        I think that person is mistaking "selfishness" for "personal responsibility." - ReluctantCynic Jun 13, 13:19 1
        
        “If my decisions impact you, it’s your personal responsibility to deal with the consequences.” -- nm* - znufrii Jun 13, 15:55
        
        Yeah, there is no personal responsibility. The new John Hopkins study shows that only about 54% of transplant patients develop antibodies. - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 13:06
        
        That person thinks their choice impacts them and them alone. If that were the case, okay. It's not the case. -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 13:02 2
        
        This person, his wife baby sits grandkids etc - James Bond (aka Igor) Jun 13, 13:08 1
        
        This has been my line. There's no such thing as personal choice when it comes to infectious diseases. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 13:13
        
        Vaccine required *AND* proof required. Yes -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 12:44
        
        Heh. -- nm - David Jun 13, 12:40
