ESPN, Maria Taylor Part Ways After Internal Controversy Became Public -- (link*) - stim-mie Jul 21, 09:08
Netflix was the single biggest producer of content in Europe in 2020. Can you name any of the others? Probably not. Well, one of them, certainly. I've got the top 5. -- nm* - Mop Jul 21, 09:06 12

        I do, doubled the number of films I make plus a bunch of short films now, it's just our budget has remained the same. -- nm - LMS Jul 21, 09:34

- I guess working in an office building never bothered me but I really don't like residences where you can't open windows. -- nm - Max Jul 21, 09:05 2
  - ya' figure they could have at least thrown in a balcony for that price -- nm - decline Jul 21, 09:07 1
    - For that money I *should* be able to toss the piano over the railing for fun and just charge the sidewalk cleanup to my account. -- nm - Max Jul 21, 09:09
- That building and the other 'super skinnies' are all the worst and they need to be banned -- nm - ty97 Jul 21, 08:29 3
  - I don't want anyone to get hurt or die but I wish that building would crumble to the ground. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 09:06 2
    - It’s all just money laundering for Russian oligarchs, it’s not like anyone is actually living there. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 21, 09:11 1
      - True but that building and others are casting shadows on Central Park which I have an issue with. -- nm* - Krusty Jul 21, 09:26

Grrr. I was scheduled to have a gum graft done 2 weeks ago, but my last procedure hadn't healed as quickly as the oral surgeon had liked, so they had - kelly Jul 21, 08:24 7
- Would they call you if there is a cancelation of another patient earlier? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 10:25
- ugh. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 10:22
- I feel your (scheduling) pain with my 100 day wait to see the damned dermatologist. They were reluctant to even schedule that one since I am still not - Spawn Jul 21, 08:28 3
  - 100 days? Holy crap. -- nm - kelly Jul 21, 08:37 2
    - They gave me first available in October. I put it in my calendar and then used one of the countdown widgets so I would remember and sure enough, 100. -- nm - Spawn Jul 21, 08:41 1
      - At least they took it this time. I had called a few weeks in and they refused. I am 80 days into shingles, so if they had given me 100 then, it would - Spawn Jul 21, 08:42
- I'm sorry to hear this. Hopefully the procedure will be less painful than it sounds -- nm - crash davis Jul 21, 08:27

    - Too much cap hit, they would of likely taken Jake Allen so a genius move by Price and the GM -- nm - Beaker Jul 21, 08:38 1

Today is the first day I haven't been crazed at work in a very long time. It's...nice, but a little unsettling somehow. -- nm - Diva Jul 21, 07:52 6
- pull the fire alarm for some spicy work drama. -- nm - Max Jul 21, 08:19 3

  - No. $20usd upgrade to the PS4 DC. $30usd upgrade to the full PS5 DC version. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 07:53 8
    - ah, ok, so similar to a regular DLC -- nm - decline Jul 21, 07:57 7
      - Yup. I already preordered the PS4 upgrade. The additional PS5 upgrade isn't available until launch day. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 07:58 6

  - "Perhaps you'd like this rusty old screen door?" -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:53
- Larsson is a solid, but unfancy, d-man. Enjoy. -- nm - Shaun Jul 21, 07:46 6
  - We need to pour some of that Holy Grail water on Klefbom's shoulder -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:51 3
    - And trade Bear. I can't get over why the Oilers are so high on him. He has almost zero offence, and he's an absolute defensive liability. - Shaun Jul 21, 07:54 2
      - He's young and had a bad series. Giving up on him is a panic move. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 08:27 1
        
        Well I hope his defensive game improves *A LOT* in the offseason. I can handle him not being a huge points guy, but just don't be awful in our zone. - Shaun Jul 21, 08:41

- That is an excellent question! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 21, 07:49
I need a grill. Is there really a difference between Char Broil and Weber? Weber seems really over priced. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 07:45 2
- I had a top of the line Char Broil and it was a bad purchase. Poorly designed and made. Parts wore out quickly. Hard to cook on. It looked good (red) - zunk xometimes Jul 21, 08:03
- I can't speak to Char Broil but with Weber you're paying for durability and even heating. -- nm - Reagen Jul 21, 07:46
