- You gotta love the thinking here. Let's combine two streaming services into one service...and another service! -- nm - David Jun 14, 09:21 7
  - It's baffling to me. It's obvious people want one streaming service to do everything. - Inigo Jun 14, 09:29 4
    - and in the darkness bind them? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 14, 09:52 1
      - If that brings down the price, sure! -- nm - Inigo Jun 14, 10:01
    - The leaks are for Wall Street, not rational business plans. -- nm - David Jun 14, 09:35 1

- Is that one of the Guardians of the Beam? -- nm - Barontronic Jun 14, 08:48 1
  - I don't think so, youngster :-) -- nm - mud Jun 14, 08:55
Damnit. Just saw one of the pieces we wanted from West Elm on the outlet’s Instagram page. Someone else already has it on hold. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 14, 08:25 1
- or, go to their house and demand they release the hold so you can have it -- nm - decline Jun 14, 08:31
and from way downtown -- (link) - JD Jun 14, 08:11 29

  - Yeah, I had to resort to a VPN. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 14, 08:38
  - Maybe this one? -- (link) - JD Jun 14, 08:37 [youtube] 11
    - Nope, but I found a different angle on Twitter (from behind the goal) -- nm - Beryllium Jun 14, 08:40 10
      - and you're going to be posting it in 3, 2, 1 .. -- nm - mud Jun 14, 08:42 9
        
        This seems to be a regular angle (maybe flipped?) -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 14, 08:45 8
        
        nice! -- nm - mud Jun 14, 08:46
        
        And the first angle I saw -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 14, 08:45 6
        
        whoa look at the bend in that!! -- nm - mud Jun 14, 08:47
        
        The bend on that is just sick. -- nm - znufrii Jun 14, 08:46 4
        
        Gerrit Cole is unimpressed. -- nm - Reagen Jun 14, 09:03

  - Fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck FUUUUCCCKKK -- nm - Reagen Jun 14, 08:19 10
    - Why would he be out that far from the goal? -- nm - JaxSean Jun 14, 08:21 9
      - Same reason that he's the only player for his team on that side of midfield. The team is playing an insanely high line and he proportionally behind - JD Jun 14, 08:27 6
        
        I guess that kind of makes sense. Are attempts like that taken often? - JaxSean Jun 14, 08:32 5
        
        This is one of my faves, though the wind had as much to do with it. -- (link) - znufrii Jun 14, 08:45 [youtube] 1
        
        wheeeeeeee! -- nm - mud Jun 14, 08:54
        
        Quality is horrible, but famously... -- (link) - Marlowe Jun 14, 08:42 [youtube]
        
        It was from a deflected shot, so the defensive players didn’t have time to reset. They’d usually be able to get in the way of something like that. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 14, 08:35 1
        
        Yep. He didn't even had to adjust, it was a perfect pass. Only not. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 14, 08:38
      - Normal positioning in that situation, he's playing for passes back - Reagen Jun 14, 08:26
      - Right? -- nm - Spawn Jun 14, 08:22
For those that may be thinking "CT has gone off the deep end of FO76 fanboy-dom" let me just say... -- (link) - Cuzzin Todd Jun 14, 08:09 5

SITV: Fair warning, this week's podcast is just a bunch of knuckleheads trying to make each other laugh. -- (link) - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 14, 08:06 [spotify] 1
- ...also, the rumored monthly price of Sinclair's Bally Sports streaming service is $23. That's 4x ESPN+. Let's see how that goes over. -- nm* - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jun 14, 08:09
Today is the Donald's birthday, be sure to post photos Obama and or Biden on your social media -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 14, 08:03 1

Gerard Butler's Greenland gets a sequel... -- (link) - decline Jun 14, 08:03 20
- ohhh I like it. Greenland was my favorite end of the world movie in awhile. - Jovian Jun 14, 08:22 5
  - Was it good? I saw a commercial or something and my interest was a bit piqued, but not quite enough to rent it. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 14, 08:43 3
    - Its Gerard Butler trying to survive the end of the world. Dont expect real science but its worth the watch personally. - Walt_Disney Jun 14, 09:33
    - it's pretty crap in the best way possible. -- nm - amanda's borrowed jeans Jun 14, 08:49 1
      - like Geostorm bad? -- nm - decline Jun 14, 08:55

- The only movie I have seen him in was 300. -- nm - Spawn Jun 14, 08:20 12
  - Den of Thieves is worth a gander. It gets "story that needs to be told" points, IMO -- nm - con_carne Jun 14, 10:26
  - isn't he in "has fallen"? I love those. -- nm - amanda's borrowed jeans Jun 14, 08:50 1
    - yup and #4 is in the works (and 5 is planned) -- nm - decline Jun 14, 08:54

      - Not seen Mrs Brown? -- nm - LMS Jun 14, 08:31 4
        
        Nope. -- nm - Spawn Jun 14, 08:33 3
        
        Reign of Fire? -- nm - mud Jun 14, 08:57 2
        
        Whoa! -- nm - Spawn Jun 14, 09:11

The USGA is dumb if they don't group Koepka and DeChambeau together on Thursday, right? -- nm - Dano Jun 14, 07:48 3

    - Then hit the ball(s) -- nm - budice Jun 14, 07:58
I forgot to take a mask to the grocery store yesterday. - Dano Jun 14, 07:44 2
- I didn't even take mine into the Home Depot with me yesterday. It felt strange, but freeing. - Barontronic Jun 14, 07:52
- I was definitely in the minority of indoor mask wearers at the shore this weekend. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 14, 07:46
It’s only 75 cents, so I shouldn’t be that annoyed at using the wrong rewards credit card to get pizza yesterday, right? But it’s the principle of the thing. -- (edited) - znufrii Jun 14, 07:44 1
- Go back today and get *two* pizzas with the right one. -- nm - Spawn Jun 14, 08:18
B1. Now with glorious purpose. -- nm - Spawn Jun 14, 07:43
