Mr. Winchester, are you around? I don't see your pool entry and don't want you to miss out after the work you did on an allegedly great spreadsheet. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 12:01

Our county managed to sell one house to two separate buyers a year apart. They now each own a full lot, but half a house. And at least one owner was - TWuG Jul 23, 11:45 1
- they should have to fight Thunderdome style for ownership -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:51
This thread on the new Cleveland Guardians name and logo is wonderful. A LOT of thought went into the new looks and name. -- (link) - TWuG Jul 23, 11:41 2
- oh dang, that's cool. i'm into this now -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:58
- I didn't like it at first b/c it sounded like a generic fake TV shows sports team mascot, but learning more about it turned me around pi radians. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 11:56
Continuing my list of 90s music. Now playing: The Prodigy -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:39
TIL : Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt are still not divorced -- (link) - decline Jul 23, 11:37 10
- Sadly, the cinematic custody agreements are iron clad. Jolie gets MCU. Pitt gets DCU, with only a single MCU cameo every other year. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 11:54
- At this rate the kids will all become adults before custody is decided. -- nm - Max Jul 23, 11:44 1
  - Maddox has. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 11:53
- " They were declared divorced in April 2019, after their lawyers asked for a judgment that allowed a married couple to be declared single while other - Diva Jul 23, 11:43 2
  - "Did you say 'to blave'?" "No! 'To blame', as in you're clearly the one "to blame*." -- nm - mostly dead Jul 23, 11:46 1
    - Mostly divorced? What would you do if they were 'all divorced?' - Diva Jul 23, 11:52
- "Aniston furious!" -- nm - prayformojo Jul 23, 11:43
- "Find me the least attractive picture of both of them" -- nm - AP editor Jul 23, 11:39 2

Amazon's Wheel of Time premiere will be in November -- (link) - decline Jul 23, 11:32 14
- Season 2? -- nm - Inigo Jul 23, 11:48 1
  - heh. the tweet is gone. I think they just typo'd -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:50
- hard no. -- nm - mud Jul 23, 11:36 7
  - amazon is pretty sub-par in a lot of ways.. i'm leaning towards no on this one too. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 12:01
  - really? This is probably my most anticipated series for this year - decline Jul 23, 11:38 5
    - I never did go back and finish the series after it suffered author existence failure. - znufrii Jul 23, 11:45 4
      - Brandon Sanderson is an excellent writer and did a great job finishing it up -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:48 3
        
        Sanderson is a damn good writer. damn good -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 11:56 1
        
        Yup. both the Reckoners and Stormlight Archive series are great -- nm - decline Jul 23, 12:03
        
        My enthusiasm for the series was waning even before then, I think, so it became a gap that didn’t feel like it was worth bridging. - znufrii Jul 23, 11:53
- THe pilot will be 16 hours long. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 11:34 3
  - Season 1 will be split into three parts, each of them a season long. -- nm* - znufrii Jul 23, 11:54 2
    - L5! - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 11:58 1
      - I’m curious how different my take on the series would be now, but I certainly enjoyed it at the time. That reputation though is not undeserved. -- nm - znufrii Jul 23, 12:13
I love that the Olympics opening ceremonies were live. I fast forwarded the 2 hours of the teams entrances. -- nm - Peglegpete Jul 23, 11:23 2
- I think what I hate most about the opening ceremonies is Al Roker (or whoever) telling us what all the symbolism is for the performances. - Mop Jul 23, 11:45
- You hurt Greece's feelings -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 11:30
Add to drama summary, we quite possibly have a water leak in our front yard from the mains.. really don't want to spend time trenching. - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:16
Michael Che, Hot Ones. -- (link) - Mop Jul 23, 11:04 [youtube] 1
- Che seemed uninterested to be there at first, but he really engaged with the questions. Also, he started cocky, but they broke him in the end. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 11:52
Drama Summary: relationship over, kick out the ex, screw seeing anti-vax family, even if they have kids. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:03 2
- Yes. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 11:05
- Basically. Although the last one is the hardest and it sucks for everyone in all 3 situations. - sycor Jul 23, 11:05
sitwap: Rick Dennison out as Vikings asst. coach after refusing COVID vaccine. -- (link) - Diva Jul 23, 10:58 9
- "We'll pay you six, possibly even seven, figures this year. All you need to do is get one shot that may save your life." "NO DEAL!!!" -- nm - David Jul 23, 11:23 3
  - six figures isn't enough to get mutated DNA, David -- nm - decline Jul 23, 11:33 2
    - It's like that dude doesn't even want superpowers! -- nm - David Jul 23, 11:50 1
      - this NEEDS to be a new selling point - -- (edited) - Diva Jul 23, 11:56
- There's reports one team has 8 players (7 of which can't be cut) refusing to get the vaccine. - the wrong element Jul 23, 11:13
- I hope some asshole sues so he can be humiliated by a court. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 11:03
- Good. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 23, 11:02
- Love 2 turn down six figures over bullshit -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:01 1
  - Money isn’t worth his freedom, Reagen. -- nm - spamlet Jul 23, 11:21
For a colour coded work event, I landed on team ... - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:56 1
- J'accuse! - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 10:59
Scenario 3: we really want to see our nephews. it's been forever. their parents, my parents (who are all around) REFUSE to get vaccinated. do we go? - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:44 32
- Unless her sister gets vaxxed CJ and I will not be attending her wedding and CJ is maid of honor -- nm - Remlik Jul 23, 12:00 1
  - wow. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 12:03
- If they get sick it’s on them. If you’re vaccinated and want to see the kids, go. - spamlet Jul 23, 11:27 1
  - true -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 12:00
- i just texted my brother and his wife asking them to get vaccinated... we'll see how this goes. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:00 8
  - my brother texted me separately and ignored the question of vaccination said a visit sounds good since his wife can't travel due to being pregnant - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:13 1
    - She's pregnant and they won't vaccinate? Do they know that COVID hits pregnant women harder? -- nm - loosilu Jul 23, 11:26
  - "Sean Hannity wants you to" -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:08 5
    - I heard he tried to reverse that last night. -- nm - mud Jul 23, 11:14 2
      - Media Matters -- (link) - mud Jul 23, 11:16
      - it's easy to change directions when you don't have any bones -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:14
    - oh shoot, i should sent that to my parents. they probably saw it and scoffed it as him trying to avoid cancel culture or something -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:10 1
      - "Why are they pushing it so hard" - Reagen Jul 23, 11:36
- If you can do a social distanced, maybe even outside, visit then maybe. MAYBE. But even then with numbers trending back up, I'd be very hesitant. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 10:49 4
  - i'm not going to tell little kids to stay away.. they've not been taught that and it would be really confusing and hurtful for them. - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:52 3
    - how old are they? -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:08 2
      - 9, 9, 7, 4, due in november -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:10 1
        
        older ones will get it. 4 year old borderline. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:24
- Outdoor, masked, social distanced -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 10:48 12
  - This is the right answer which often means it isn’t worth it unfortunately. -- nm - Qale Jul 23, 11:07 1
    - yeahhhhh -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:20
  - also related. my cousins are in that refusing to get vaccinated stance. I did not see them when I went up to Wisc on the 4th. I did stop by to see - oblique Jul 23, 10:53 8
    - I found out I have a cousin on the "vaccines change your DNA" train. My aunt and other cousin from that group are sane though. - Reagen Jul 23, 11:00 7
      - uf. friend just told us about how her cousin just moved to be near her sister, who is now refusing to see her or let her near her kids because - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:02 6
        
        If we could change DNA with a shot, we'd have been doing that aaaaages ago. -- nm - Reagen Jul 23, 11:03 3
        
        I would like my DNA changed to have the vision of an eagle, the quickness of a cheetah and the body of some famous actor that doesn't have dad belly. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:06
        
        We'd all be hopped up on super soldier serum! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 11:04
        
        yeah, haven't you heard of fluoride? -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:04
        
        what the what? -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 11:03 1
        
        vaccinated people are SHEDDING DANGEROUS TOXINS -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:04
  - and inside giant hamster balls -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 10:53
- No. -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 10:47
Scenario 2: our friend used to date this guy (briefly) who moved in. they fight a lot, not really compatible, but stays and still lives there. - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:41 12
- A responsible father would move out, set up a stable home for his child, and find appropriate care for the kid. - Mop Jul 23, 11:06 1
  - child is also suffering because his stepdad basically said he doesn't care about the kid and let the state take him.. which is probably better? - chicken daddy Jul 23, 11:09
- Either the ex moves out (preferred) or she does the best she can for the child. Don't worry too much about bonding; taking care of a child is always a good. -- nm* - mara Jul 23, 10:59
- Ex needs to be kicked out and either figure out how to be a parent, or give the kid to grandparents or foster care. - sycor Jul 23, 10:47 5
  - sooo.. the kid's grandmother is currently dying, has 6 months to live, so that's out. no other family. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:53 4
    - this is in no way her/your problem to solve -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 10:54 3
      - This. The ex needs to man up and do his job as a parent. What happens when you guys decide to "community raise" this kid and the ex finds a new couch - sycor Jul 23, 10:57 2
        
        I would be marginally concerned over what kind of liability this person is taking by having them under their roof -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 10:59 1
        
        CPS is involved, so i assume that's all fine. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 11:09
- Cold hearted of me, but I'd give him 2 months to get out, into appropriate housing for him and his kid and work out his schedule to be there for - TWuG Jul 23, 10:46 1
  - To the demand he seek other housing, I would fully expect the "I work all night. When am I supposed to look at other places?" argument - Baron of the Rings Jul 23, 10:58
- Well, not to put too fine a point on it but : NO - oblique Jul 23, 10:46

Scenario 1: my friend's brother has been dating for 6 years long distance (DC to LA) a guy. brother just got a job in LA to finally move out there. - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:27 19

- Done and done. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:58
- man, if "just letting you know..." were the actual words? -- nm - Max Jul 23, 10:58

- The producers of Catfish just got simultaneous erections. Even the women. -- nm - David Jul 23, 10:49
- cat + fish -- nm - oblique Jul 23, 10:49
- He's just not that into him. -- nm - mara Jul 23, 10:47
- Yeah, that's unfortunately, but it's over. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 10:46
- I know, you just forgot to include the part where there was any sense whatsoever of doing this thing together -- nm - con_carne Jul 23, 10:38 1
  - whoops! -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:44
- Yeah that relationship is done. You don't just take another job in another country without discussing it with your SO if you are remotely serious. -- nm - sycor Jul 23, 10:35 1
  - yah, that's the feeling. red flags for days. if he's still on board with trying, we'll try to talk him down from that mess. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:41
- Sketch. And over. -- nm - Diva Jul 23, 10:35
- after *6 years*? it's over. -- nm - Andie Jul 23, 10:33

  - More red flags than Ted Lasso, who actually did move to the UK. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 23, 10:59
- Sketch. -- nm - znufrii Jul 23, 10:31
- Sketch, for sure -- nm - TWuG Jul 23, 10:29
- good new: we're going bar crawling while the brother is in town this weekend and will get the COMPLETE story. -- nm - chicken daddy Jul 23, 10:29

Never had Apple TV+ before? It's Ted Lasso Season 2 day and you get four free months thanks to Target. -- (link) - Mop Jul 23, 10:17 6
- Sweet! Thanks! -- nm - Krusty Jul 23, 11:06
- Huh. I may need to do that. Can I get Apple TV+ on Roku or do you need an Apple TV streaming device? -- nm - pmb Jul 23, 10:23 2
  - Yes, it's on Roku. It's the Apple TV app, then you choose the TV+ menu in the app. -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 10:27
  - I think it's on the Roku. -- (link) - mara Jul 23, 10:25
- And Schmigadoon! -- nm - mara Jul 23, 10:20 1
  - A couple whose relationship is on the rocks find themselves in a magical musical town? That'll never work! -- nm - Mop Jul 23, 10:23
