- best wishes sir. -- nm - Remlik Jul 26, 13:38
- Ugh! 🤞🏼 your household is just fine. -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 13:27
- best wishes ! -- nm - mud Jul 26, 13:26
- Good thoughts to you guys. But an incubation period of less than 24 hours? It could well have been an earlier exposure, it seems to me. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 13:22 2
  - For him, yes. - JaxSean Jul 26, 13:28 1
    - Oh, not your kid, duh. I see now. -- nm - mara Jul 26, 13:30

- I've got my fingers crossed for you all -- nm - crash davis Jul 26, 13:20

- Days of Our Lives Mini Series to Peacock -- (link*) - Remlik Jul 26, 13:03
- "Subsequent installments have not been dated and will potentially land directly on Peacock." - Mop Jul 26, 12:57 1

  - Dunno, man. A bunch of university athletic feeds are being very chatty right now about how great their athletes are. -- nm - Mop Jul 26, 12:55
Does ST know cars? I'm hoping to troubleshoot this weird issue on my own. My car (150k miles, 5 years old Chevy Cruze) has a fair bit of hesitation - oblique Jul 26, 12:45 5
- when they do tune up they 'check' the wires and in the process often break one. or maybe they have a couple switched? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 13:59
- I've had acceleration issues when the catalytic converter died; it caused issues with exhaust pressure and made the vehicle useless on hills. - Beryllium Jul 26, 12:50
- Do you have a turbo? -- nm - spamlet Jul 26, 12:49 2
  - Good question. Looks to me like all the Cruze trims have a 1.4L turbocharged 4 cylinder -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 12:52 1
    - It could be the turbo has clogged. That happens on a lot of VWs around then. - spamlet Jul 26, 12:54

  - It's the greatest comic strip ever. Ever! -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 13:31
  - My copy of the boxed set is exceedingly well worn from both my kids (and me) reading it extensively -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 13:04

      - here -- (link) - Spawn Jul 26, 12:49
      - It's my understanding that Watterson signed off on it. -- (pic) - Mop Jul 26, 12:48 [Attachment] 2
        
        That doesn't show Watterson signing off on it. I'm really curious about this -- nm - Krusty Jul 26, 13:31
        
        That's crazy! and Awesome. -- nm - Dean Winchester Jul 26, 12:51
    - Good Lord, that's such a 2021 thing to say. -- nm* - Mop Jul 26, 12:45
Hey kelly (or anyone) - Have you ever vacationed on Block Island? Was looking at it as a possible vacation spot. -- nm - Dano Jul 26, 12:29 2
- Never been to Block, but I've been to Stonington multiple times, and know that area a bit. -- nm - MDH Jul 26, 12:46
- I’ve never been there. Nathan was there with my mom during our vacay. My mom loves it there. -- nm - kelly Jul 26, 12:35
Granted I don't really follow the the NHL but the Canadiens drafted a kid who asked not be drafted? A prospect that many teams had on do not draft - JD Jul 26, 12:24 3

- by an exec who's under a cloud from a sex scandal at a previous team he worked for. -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 12:34 1
  - That kind of explains things *sigh* -- nm - JD Jul 26, 12:36

      - and O'Shea Jackson -- nm - Reagen Jul 26, 12:46
  - And just on the slightest chance ... Queen Elizabeth, Prince Phillip (dead), Princes Charles/William/Harry (but seemingly Meghan is ok) -- nm - zork Jul 26, 12:39 2

  - He also has James Woodson the list so he’s an equal opportunity crazy person. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 26, 12:21 2

      - Well there's the blanket Federal Gov't Employees -- nm - JD Jul 26, 12:29
Hmm. Does ST know what Carpenter Bees are? - Spawn Jul 26, 12:02 17
- Thanks all. I usually refer to them as wood boring bees. But using both names, guy thought I was bonkers. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 12:18 1
  - Kid, your face is boring -- nm - oblique Jul 26, 12:18

- I've heard of carpenter ants, which can fly. Haven't specifically heard of carpenter bees. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 12:03 4
  - Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near... -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 12:07
  - As flying, stinging insects go, they sound quite tame. Except for that "digging into dead wood" part, of course. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 12:06 2
    - Sadly, wood siding falls under that "dead wood" category. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 12:10 1
      - Yes, I was pretty sure that's where this was going. :) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 26, 12:52

I hate these computer-written articles that flood Yahoo Finance's website. It used to be a good resource. Now it's mostly sh*t. - Baron of the Rings Jul 26, 11:45 5
- Yeah, it's called neural text. It's popping up on YouTube, too. - David Jul 26, 11:49 3
  - That's exactly what they are. Templates with the numbers filled in. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Jul 26, 11:50 2
    - I subscribed to something called NeuralText to check out the future competition. - David Jul 26, 11:52 1

  - Spaghetti Monster approved -- nm - Pastafaians Jul 26, 12:05
Salient -- (link) - rollo Jul 26, 11:42
well this theory is a new one. -- (link) - Jovian Jul 26, 11:30 6
- What's the point of 80% scale? It would still be pretty big, in terms of a building project, but with smaller doors, lower ceilings, etc. making it somewhat uncomfortable inside. -- nm* - mara Jul 26, 12:02 1
  - I just wanted to executive order an omelette! -- nm - IAmQale Jul 26, 12:26
- I had heard he had one built for Media Goes to Washington, so that fits. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 11:46
- I prefer the one that says that - - Meg Jul 26, 11:43 2
  - Wondering if this is true -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 26, 12:00 1
    - Depends on the mask, I would think. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 12:03
Saw Green Knight trailer before Pig. It looks *good*. -- nm - Spawn Jul 26, 11:28 1
- giggity -- nm - mud Jul 26, 11:30
Yes, I'll admit the ridiculous concept of La Brea has piqued my interest and I will watch it for the half season it will probably last. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 26, 11:25 4
- We styled the title in all caps to emphasize that it's in LA. Everyone likes LA. -- nm - NBC Jul 26, 11:31 1
  - At least it's not "The The Tarpits Tarpits" -- nm - Dano Jul 26, 12:16
- But in the end, it will turn out to be the afterlife as they actually are in a tar pit -- nm - JJ Abrams Jul 26, 11:27 1
  - What did the numbers mean, JJ? WHAT DID THE GOD D@MNED NUMBERS MEAN?!?!? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jul 26, 12:53
