    - Awwwwww I totally recommend and do not recommend torties. The best ruckuses ever. -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 5, 18:48
- great bosses make good workers better, hope she recognizes the good in you -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 5, 18:31 1
  - If she really is the same person, then yes. She was a good boss. Most didn’t like her, but I did. -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 18:38
- I hope this also leads to you getting some front end management, if you know what I mean. -- nm - mafic Jul 5, 18:31 1
  - I think I do. For far too long have just out of high school guys been safe from my gay gaze! -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 18:37

Florida is averaging 2,241 cases/day, a 55% increase over the last 14 days. That’s 17% of all cases in the US. -- nm - Beaker Jul 5, 16:14 10
- so not to defend Florida, but how many of these cases are hospitalized? - Reagen Jul 5, 16:17 8
  - I respectfully disagree as that’s the new talking point of those who have been antagonistic during the pandemic. “283 new cases, well how many died?” -- nm - Qale Jul 5, 17:03 7
    - it was a shitty point made by stupid people at that time; it's come around to be true under much different circumstances - Reagen Jul 5, 17:16 6
      - I fully support the idea that we, as vaccinated people, largely don’t have to care too much about the day to day numbers. But I’d prefer to give… - Qale Jul 5, 17:23 5
        
        I think you misunderstand my meaning - Reagen Jul 5, 17:33 4
        
        I don’t think I’m misunderstanding you but rather suffering from living in a place where vaccine resistance is far greater and hostility is stronger. - Qale Jul 5, 18:15
        
        One complication with this approach is Long Covid. If vaccines aren't enough to tamp down that occurrence, then there could be long term - Beryllium Jul 5, 17:53 2
        
        currently, Long COVID with vaccination seems to be very rare. -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 18:13 1
        
        people with compromised immune systems, organ transplants etc can incubate covid for months, one guy in boston fostered 7 varients of his own -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 5, 18:29

Given all the licensed properties that LEGO has had sets for, I'm honestly shocked they've never had Star Trek sets. - TWuG Jul 5, 12:50 3
- because they signed with Mega Blocks -- nm - Remlik Jul 5, 13:02 2
  - So did DC. I still have my Batmobile. But they are with LEGO, now. -- nm - Spawn Jul 5, 15:33

Summer of Soul* is really terrific. Questlove did a great job putting this together: in addition to the firecracker performances, the interviews - - prayformojo Jul 5, 12:17 1
- Yep. Said it last night. It’s probably not for everyone but it’s really interesting history that I was completely unaware of. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 5, 14:01

The Violent Femmes debut album went platinum without ever hitting the Billboard top 200. Sold 3m records and highest chart is 171 in 1991 -- (link*) - spamlet Jul 5, 11:34 6
- Maybe just a weird week because even in the heyday of album sales in the 90s, the lower rungs were only a few thousand copies at most. - Tim Jul 5, 12:12 3
  - I was wondering if it was a random movie use but GPB is the first big one on record. -- nm - Reagen Jul 5, 12:15 2
    - I wondered if they released it on CD the. But nope, 87. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 12:18 1
      - Looks like Birds Sing was released in ‘91 and American Music probably pushed plays/sales of back catalog. -- nm* - spamlet Jul 5, 12:41
- It never hit the top 200 but it was 171? -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 5, 12:05 1
