Have we seen the Mint Mobile Bobby Bonilla ads? Are we interested in locking with Mint Mobile for 25 years for $100/yr? - sycor Jul 1, 09:38 8

  - *goes over your head* -- nm - The joke Jul 1, 09:58 3
    - Oh, I get the joke. I'm surprised Bonilla is in on the promo. He clearly doesn't care. But you know you can actually buy this, right? - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jul 1, 10:05 2
      - I’m sure truth in advertising says you have to be able to buy it but it’s not intended for anyone to do that. -- nm - spamlet Jul 1, 10:12
      - I think it's a terrible deal so they don't expect anyone to do it. So it's a joke, but they're really committing to the joke. -- nm* - pmb Jul 1, 10:09
- *facepalm* -- nm - ML si Jul 1, 09:39

“Discussion ensued.” - znufrii Jul 1, 09:28 3
- I have been known to insert "spirited", at times. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:29 2
  - These are for the board of a mutual fund, so there is nothing spirited about them. -- nm - znufrii Jul 1, 09:32 1
    - That is the joke! -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:36
Just click: -- (link) - ML Jul 1, 09:27 2

  - I think you’re taking this too literally. -- nm - spamlet Jul 1, 09:36

  - I would watch this -- nm - decline Jul 1, 09:29
- I bet it's nowhere near as good as Cold Pursuit! -- nm - David Jul 1, 09:21 4
  - but has to be better than Ice Road - decline Jul 1, 09:23 2
    - Duh. -- nm - David Jul 1, 09:41
    - Wait, *that* is what I am half way through! I saw Cold Pursuit in the theater (AMC A+)! -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:24
  - I am halfway through! -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:22
6Music's Artist Collection series has been picking some great subjects - this week Pet Shop Boys. -- (link) - LMS Jul 1, 09:17 4

  - So flat out fraud -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 1, 09:27
Zillow Listing! (Minnesota!) -- (link) - Strongbad Jul 1, 09:03 24
- Looks like the ... game room? Has farms and factories on the walls. Very Soviet. - loosilu Jul 1, 09:36 1
  - or FLDS -- nm - decline Jul 1, 09:41
- They're very ... literal. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:30
- I love the stove. But it looks like at some point the house was gutted and someone intentionally made those rooms that way. The one floor vent coming - sycor Jul 1, 09:29 6
  - And what's up in the living. I expected that one section to open up, maybe a roll down screen for a projector? -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 09:33
  - It looks institutional. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:31 4
    - Yeah. Cult. - Beryllium Jul 1, 09:32 3
      - IDK. The backyard is really dull for kids. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:32 2

  - I think the walls are painted. -- nm - mara Jul 1, 09:20 4
    - yup - in the description: "Beautiful murals throughout the home were created by a well-known local artist" -- nm - decline Jul 1, 09:33 1
      - I was gonna say, that's not a cheap artist. And they would have had to pay extra for a dangerous place like the stairs. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:34
    - Has to be. YOu don't mass produce crazy shit like that. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:31
    - Me too. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 09:28
  - Also, let's not be too harsh about ML's decorating choices. If he wants to Zubaz up his house, that's his choice! -- nm - Inigo Jul 1, 09:19
- the walls are crazy, but why would you make the living room so huge and the bedrooms so tiny? -- nm - decline Jul 1, 09:07 2
  - I seriously feel like it's a cult home. Like 15 kids. -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:32
  - It makes building the cult easier. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 1, 09:10

Happy Canada Day! -- nm - loosilu Jul 1, 09:00
What a fantastic clock. (The video is sped up so that 1 second = 1 hour) -- (link) - mara Jul 1, 09:00 5

  - uh, looks at original post, shakes sarcasm detector -- nm - JD Jul 1, 09:08

Hey Krusty.... would a regular bridge work in your situation without implants? I have an idea - we can take it to email if you prefer. - Dano Jul 1, 08:57 1
- I don't know yet. On one side it might but on the other I'm going to need an implant. - Krusty Jul 1, 09:42
Holy crap. The North American Lightning Detection Network detected 710,117 total lightning events (pulses + strikes) in British Columbia last night. -- (link) - decline Jul 1, 08:56 3

LYC: My conditional approval for Global Entry was approved. I can schedule my interview. That was fast. - oblique Jul 1, 08:48 6
- Perhaps they already had your info from the pre-check background? I submitted a renewal a week ago, still pending. *sigh* -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 08:49 5
  - What did you do?! I submitted mine on a Sunday night and had approval Monday afternoon about a week or so ago. -- nm - pmb Jul 1, 10:05
  - Could be though even that would still have been quick. We scheduled the TSA Pre within the past couple weeks (and now cancelled) -- nm - oblique Jul 1, 08:50 3
    - I JUST WANT MY APPROVAL SO I CAN STOP GOING THROUGH SECURITY WITH THE COMMONERS -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 08:54 2
      - if you just bought your own plane you wouldn't need to worry about it anymore -- nm - decline Jul 1, 08:57 1

- "not outside of the trunk of your car when driving?" *smh* -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:36 6
  - It sounds like a great excuse to stop and search a bunch of minorities. -- nm - con_carne Jul 1, 09:43
  - I see it like alcohol rules. No open containers within reach of the driver. So a locked glove box or trunk. -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 08:41
  - It’s really hard to drive your car from the trunk. -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jul 1, 08:40 1
    - If you have a hatchback, the whole interior of the car *is* the trunk! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:47
  - We have similar rules here. When it became law in IL I bought a lockable "pack" that can carry it. I think we have to have it locked but I don't - oblique Jul 1, 08:40
  - Otherwise drivers might be tempted! -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:38
- As a non-smoker, just curious, is an ounce a lot? -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 08:34 12
  - I googled and found this. -- (pic) - JaxSean Jul 1, 08:40 [Attachment] 5

      - holy crap -- nm - mud Jul 1, 09:39 2

        Word -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:42
    - Okay yeah that helps ton. Yay visual aids. I just didn't want to google it on my work computer. -- nm - sycor Jul 1, 08:43
  - yes its quite a lot. even for a heavy smoker. -- nm - Jovian Jul 1, 08:36 5
    - It's really not a lot. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 09:31 2
      - He means for normal folk. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 09:33 1
        
        It's a lot for a weekend/holiday smoker, true. Not for someone that partakes regularly. - Krusty Jul 1, 09:37
    - Okay I was trying to figure out how silly it might be to allow 4 plants but 1 oz. I'm terrible at guessing weights. - sycor Jul 1, 08:38 1
      - My friend grows 4 plants and gets 22 oz's total from each grow. That's indoors and limited in height by his grow tent. -- nm - Krusty Jul 1, 09:46
FWP of the day.Last week I was out of Coke Zero and found it at 3/$10. This week it's 4/$11. Guess I should stock up for the summer? -- nm - Meg Jul 1, 08:20 3
- Or wait until next week's 5/$12. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:21 2
  - That crossed my mind but I doubt it'll go below half price :) Regular price is over $6/12-pack right now. -- nm - Meg Jul 1, 08:28 1
    - Ah, good call. - Spawn Jul 1, 08:29
I guess Liz Cheney basically told Kevin McCarthy to go F himself. - Jovian Jul 1, 08:08 6
- McCarthy tells reporters he will not be removing committee assignments from Cheney. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 1, 09:02 2
  - Probably so her dad wont shoot him -- nm - eag Jul 1, 09:10 1
    - ha! -- nm - Diva Jul 1, 09:12
- I thought that was Sunday nights. -- nm - Dano Jul 1, 08:18 2
  - this took me a minute -- nm - prayformojo Jul 1, 08:39
  - heh -- nm - Jovian Jul 1, 08:32
Repair shop is bringing my car to me. They replicated the problem by test driving it to speed, shocking. Did it need those repairs? Maybe. - Qale Jul 1, 08:06 4
- I will not say anything for fear of jinxing it. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:25 3
  - Thanks, but isn’t jinxing things another STers gimmick? Or does that only work in sports? -- nm - Qale Jul 1, 08:26 2

- I was just coming here to post this. This is outstanding reporting. (And entirely fucking infuriating). nm - ralph wiggum Jul 1, 08:40 4
  - What's crazy is that it's mostly data from the insurrectionists themselves. Social media posts and video, app chat records, radio conversations... - Inigo Jul 1, 08:52 3
    - CNN's series on this is amazing. -- nm - Spawn Jul 1, 08:56 1
      - Thanks! I'll check it out. -- nm - Inigo Jul 1, 09:14
    - Yeah, I’m a little distressed by how many times I muttered “Open fire on those motherfuckers! JESUS!!” Nm -- (edited) - ralph wiggum Jul 1, 08:54
- In spite all their rage, they are still just rats in a cage. Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved. -- nm - Qale Jul 1, 08:09
Happy Bidoof Day! What are you doing to celebrate? - spamlet Jul 1, 07:58 4
- oh Canada -- (link) - ty97 Jul 1, 08:46
- Bidoof? Bidoof! -- nm - ty97 Jul 1, 08:37
- If ever you needed to beat the crap out of a bunch of Team Rocket Grunts - or you just really hate Bidoofs - this is definitely your day. -- nm - Mop, Montreal Canadiens Fan Jul 1, 08:14
- Bidoof, bidoof bidoof. Bidoof, bidoof bidoof bidoof; bidoof, bidoof, and bidoof. -- nm - Bidoof Jul 1, 08:03
