- The railing is 42” tall? The suicide rate will be insane. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 10:45 1
  - Sit up on the railing, honey, so I can take your picture. -- nm - Max Jul 15, 10:49
- yeah, no way in hell -- nm - decline Jul 15, 10:22 9
  - Due to a fear of heights or due to a fear of engineers? -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 10:45 2
    - fear of falling - decline Jul 15, 10:49 1
      - I've done skydiving and hanggliding, no fear there, but any sense that I can fall *off* something and it kicks in. -- nm - Max Jul 15, 10:51
  - Only if sex was involved. -- nm - Spawn Jul 15, 10:35 2
    - Unsure if the eventual porno flick should be called "Going Down" or "37 Seconds" -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 10:37 1
      - Going down for 37 seconds...would be a record -- nm - That's what she said Jul 15, 10:50
  - It would be a minimum of a 37 second fall. - Beryllium Jul 15, 10:31 1

'iCarly' revival renewed for season 2 -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 10:13 1
- Pretty easy decision, I’d think. It’s not a barnburner, but perfectly adequate and likely inexpensive. -- nm - Qale Jul 15, 10:15
Zillow: This seems a wee bit overpriced (although the Nic Cage shower curtain is awesome) -- (link) - decline Jul 15, 09:59 8
- 850k for that??? -- nm - Jovian Jul 15, 10:05 7
  - It's for the location/redevelopment. - Dark Callisto Jul 15, 10:19 2
    - I mean yeah, to a degree. Although there really isn't much in Golden and doubling the price in 6 months seems a bit extreme -- nm - decline Jul 15, 10:51 1
      - Yeah, I would have said the same about their neighborhood. - Dark Callisto Jul 15, 10:54
  - and zillow thinks it's LOW. wtf golden? -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 15, 10:07 3

Sitting through Deal or no Deal now. This show is torture. - Krusty Jul 15, 09:46 7
- This is time you could be spending Inside -- nm - rollo Jul 15, 09:57 1
  - I'm being forced to watch what my mom watches which is basically just the game show network. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 11:23
- And Howie's not even doing that cute little voice from his cartoon. I mean, honestly! -- nm - Qale Jul 15, 09:55
- This is like watching a lotto drawing where you don't have a ticket. -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 09:52 3
  - but sexy briefcase ladies! -- nm - Jovian Jul 15, 09:52 2
    - Meh. I'm not 16 and porn is free now. ;-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 09:54 1

  - I wouldn't coup with you if you were the last General on Earth! -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 10:12

ST Poll: Do you use hot corners? (I don't on purpose, but they mess me up when I use them by accident.) -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 09:31 18
- Yes. Have done so on Windows, on Linux, on BeOS, and on MacOS. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 10:09
- Are they an Apple thing? -- nm - mara Jul 15, 09:54 7
  - They are not exclusive to Windows, no. -- nm - Qale Jul 15, 09:56 6
    - ?? I could be wrong, but it looks like they're not available in Windows without a third-party add-on. -- nm - mara Jul 15, 09:59 5
      - Seems good then. They’re not exactly amazing, just shortcuts. -- nm - Qale Jul 15, 10:11
      - I haven't added anything on and my Windows does weird stuff when I unintentionally activate them. -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 10:06 3
        
        Not a corner, but if I have a non full screen application window and I drag it to the top of my screen, the window goes full screen for example. -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 10:08 2
        
        That was a new standard feature in Windows 10. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 10:52
        
        Hmmm. -- nm - mara Jul 15, 10:10
- Yes. I use exactly one. Bottom right hand corner triggers the screen saver which locks the device. -- nm* - Qale Jul 15, 09:48
- Yes but just the bottom right next to the toolbar because I never go there accidentally -- nm - spamlet Jul 15, 09:47
- I don't know what does what exactly, but like if you move your mouse a certain way to a screen corner it minimizes all windows for example. -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 09:39
- kinda like me and hot curlers. -- nm - Diva Jul 15, 09:38
- is this like hot pockets? -- nm - groiny Jul 15, 09:36 1
  - HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT POCKETS! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 15, 09:39
- I prefer my corners homely. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 15, 09:36

FYI Crypto: I started using the Donut DeFi app and dropped some of my liquid savings into it to check it out. It is a DeFi app that loans out your - oblique Jul 15, 09:25 12
- Okay, I’m listening. -- nm - znufrii Jul 15, 09:53 2
  - (Reading though the blog on their site, I actually kind of pretty much understand it, which is probably a first for me in regards to crypto) -- (edited) - znufrii Jul 15, 10:26 1
    - I believe it falls more on the capital gains side much like most crypto investments do. I was reading up on it here -- (link) - oblique Jul 15, 10:53

      - IKR - oblique Jul 15, 10:49 2
        
        ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS BE PATIENT WHEN I SAID TO BE PATIENT -- nm - David Jul 15, 10:51 1
        
        That assumes I actually invested in BTC before (which I hadn't). All the patience in the world would not have saved the shitcoins I (we?) picked - oblique Jul 15, 10:54
    - thanks -- nm - Pippy Jul 15, 10:00
*stumbles in after some sangria*. Thank you all! -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 09:21 5

  - Yep. -- nm - Shaun Jul 15, 10:03
Corollary to the meeting that could have been an email rule: Day and a half email thread full of confusion that was resolved by a 5 minute call. -- nm - Dano Jul 15, 09:05 1

- We saw him there about 4 years ago. Great show! -- nm - Inigo Jul 15, 09:26

  - I also want to keep an eye out for live Wait Wait Don't Tell Me shows. -- nm - Max Jul 15, 09:03 3

    - recommended, they are a lot of fun -- nm - rollo Jul 15, 09:24
    - They'll be in Philly Aug 5th -- nm - decline Jul 15, 09:05

You ever have something that you know you can at least kind of do but then for whatever reasons, you can't seem to currently figure out - JD Jul 15, 08:56
Gotta love the USPS - - Meg Jul 15, 08:39 5
- This is why I always have them scan it in. Can actuall use the Self-Service to scan in now too -- nm - stim-mie Jul 15, 08:40 4
  - ? They created the label and the tracking number, there was nothing to scan before that. -- nm - Meg Jul 15, 08:55 3
    - And that was yesterday morning, it should at least be in a sorting center somewhere by now. -- nm - Meg Jul 15, 08:56 2
      - Just make sure they zap it after creating the label -- nm - stim-mie Jul 15, 09:07 1
        
        Ah -- nm - Meg Jul 15, 09:21

Chappelle. Mulaney. Yankovic. Flight of the Conchords. BURNHAM. -- nm - Not Exaggerating Jul 15, 08:35
I don't think I've ever watched Space Jam. It was a top 10 grossing movie the year it came out? -- nm - JD Jul 15, 08:33 22
- Not seen it. I'm not even sure if it was ever released in the UK. -- nm - LMS Jul 15, 10:26
- I really enjoyed it -- nm - Krusty Jul 15, 09:19
- Same, never watched it. Don't even intend to. -- nm - Shaun Jul 15, 08:57
- 1995 iirc the last year that the #1 movie did not top 200mil -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 08:54 1
  - We watched the first half about 3 months ago … and Nathan got bored and wandered off. It was not….good. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 15, 08:55
- Never seen it and despite a sports genre framework I can't imagine how they got to feature length with it. It feels like a generational divider movie. -- nm - Max Jul 15, 08:45
- it didn't really kick off the Shawn Bradley Decade in the way that my agent promised it would. -- nm - Shawn Bradley Jul 15, 08:44
- It's really quite terrible. -- nm - Reagen Jul 15, 08:40
- me either. -- nm - Andie Jul 15, 08:39

  - yup, the new one looks like ass though -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 08:37 1
    - Have no interest in it -- nm - eag Jul 15, 08:39
- I have also never seen it. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 08:35 1
  - Perhaps amusingly, the only thing that has me curious about the new one is Granny. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 08:36
- Google says $250.2M US...the new one will do just slightly less than that figure... -- nm* - Beaker Jul 15, 08:35 7
  - but what will the rotten tomatoes score of the new one be? -- nm - amanda jeans Jul 15, 08:44 4
    - 37% currently (and dropping like a rock) -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 08:49 3
      - And what is Pig at? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 15, 08:50 2
        
        98% !! did NOT expect this upon watching that trailer, but pleasantly surprised -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 08:51 1
        
        That’ll do. -- nm - znufrii Jul 15, 08:59
  - and that must be worldwide as BOM says $90.4 domestic -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 08:36 1
    - BOM also says 230.4 total so Google probably drunk or inflated or something -- nm - Beaker Jul 15, 08:36
