the fourth 'God's Not Dead' movie sure sounds like a lot of fun... - Diva Aug 4, 12:21 2
- The only reason I sort of hope for the reality of God is that if God exists as taught, these type of believers are so hosed. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 12:28 1

  - That’s how I ended up in the emergency room earlier this year. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 12:22
Now let's not start this again. -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 4, 12:11 5
- Which one sells corn? -- nm - David Aug 4, 12:34
- That's the Green Mile. The Green Knight was the title of R.E.M.'s 6th studio album -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 12:13 3
  - Can I steal? -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:16 2
    - It would be an honor -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 12:19 1
      - Thank you. You have surpassed your 7 status. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:23
82 students and 1 staff member in quarantine in Indy School, school started this week -- (link) - Remlik Aug 4, 12:09 3
- I dislike these kinds of articles. 82 quarantined because 1 staff member tested positive. This is the stuff that pisses people off especially if - oblique Aug 4, 12:26
- Logan goes back tomorrow and he and I go to the open house tonight. - Spawn Aug 4, 12:10 1
  - best wishes -- nm - mud Aug 4, 12:36
ty97: YDC but I have a will, and medical/durable POA -- nm - MDH Aug 4, 12:00 8
- sure, but you're old and I'm young -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 12:01 7
  - …in a Benjamin Button sort of way. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 12:07
  - Honestly - MDH Aug 4, 12:05 5
    - Well now you are just making sense. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:06
    - That's actually a big part of why I said my brother needs one. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 12:05 3
      - 100% agree. - MDH Aug 4, 12:10 2
        
        Our parents and brother's partners' parents have met but brother's partners' parents are still Trumpy megachurch people...they love their son... - ty97 Aug 4, 12:27
        
        We have an owner that died and his daughters are at war with his... latest wife/live in girlfriend (depending on who you ask) right now. - Spawn Aug 4, 12:12
Ummmmmm - Jovian Aug 4, 12:00 4
- "The cats have bitten us... and now we have no cats." - Max Aug 4, 12:10 1
  - "The snake crushed our daughter.... and now we have no snake." -- nm - Next year Aug 4, 12:39

Pres Biden is busy laying pipe -- (link) - budice Aug 4, 11:58
Sitting on a bunch of Citi ThankYou Points? You can 1:1 transfer them to AA for a limited time -- (link) - oblique Aug 4, 11:54 7
- Sounds good as I need a drink. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:57
- This is why I prefer straight cash back, no need to worry about transferring points and whatnot. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:56 5
  - Definitely easier and in many cases just as valuable. There are some notable exceptions especially with Chase where I can redeem points - oblique Aug 4, 12:24 3
    - True. But then you are pressured/required to use them for specific things in specific time frames. "Freedom" -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:26 2
      - Well, that also is the value of the Chase points. I can transfer them as miles or pay myself back (1.5x value) or use them in a variety of ways - oblique Aug 4, 12:29 1
        
        Well, Chase was my first CC and I swore I would never go back. - Spawn Aug 4, 12:30
  - 1,000% agreed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:57
Zillow Listing! (Michigan!) -- (link) - Strongbad Aug 4, 11:46 7

- The fish-shaped loungers are a nice touch -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 11:53
- Set the A/C to 75, Mr. Binnacle! -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:52

  - adds character -- nm - decline Aug 4, 11:50
Anyway, I'm thinking of getting an e-bike or e-scooter. - ty97 Aug 4, 11:44 13
- I’d love to get an e-bike to ride to work but I’d die before I got there. -- nm - spamlet Aug 4, 12:05
- E-bike! I'd suggest a cargo e-bike, but that's probably bulkier than you want. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 11:52 1
  - Depends on range. Bulkier = would deal with some of the pavement....unevenness...better likely but of course decrease range. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 12:00
- See people rent those out for days on end. Must be costing a lot -- nm - budice Aug 4, 11:46 9
  - I don't know the bike cost. The current best scooter (according to a friend who knows these things) is around 800-900 which pays for itself with time -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 11:47 8
    - A decent e-bike will run you a few thousand. -- nm - spamlet Aug 4, 12:06 7
      - A decent ebike is basically a car replacement, so think of it as savings vs buying a new car - Beryllium Aug 4, 12:13
      - Why do you like giving me bad news. Go sit in the corner with David and listen to him ramble about something Falcons related. -- nm* - ty97 Aug 4, 12:08 5
        
        WE NEED PASS RUSHERS!!! -- nm - David Aug 4, 12:20 1
        
        Will the Falcons do better than the Braves LWLWLWLWLWLWLWLWLW this year? -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:33
        
        Citi Bike has e-bikes you can use if you want to go that route. Buy a scooter and rent the Citi Bike. -- nm - Krusty Aug 4, 12:15
        
        I’m sure you can get a shitty one for less. -- nm* - spamlet Aug 4, 12:13 1
        
        That sounds more like ty97. - Spawn Aug 4, 12:14

    - I get to choose the scale! -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 11:39 2
      - I guess it's true what they say: the scale does add 10 years. -- nm - Max Aug 4, 11:39 1

ST Olympic Poll - design your own pentathlon. -- (edited) - znufrii Aug 4, 11:29 14
- Schitt's Creek episode binging. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 4, 12:34
- Make an omelet in the oly athlete apartment, find your way to the venue on public transportation, ordering lunch from foreign menu, must eat results -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 4, 12:13
- One bourbon, one scotch and one beer -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:42 3

    - .. 'bout a woman I know ..~ -- (link) - mud Aug 4, 11:48 [youtube]
  - Four horsemen and a beer would work. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:44
- Zombie pentathlon: Parkour, axe throwing, cross country running, sailing an unfamiliar boat, stockade building. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:38
- Grocery self-checkout, ATM withdrawal, drunk texting, pivot tables, and drive swearing creativity. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:31 6
  - Grocery self-checkout and ATM withdrawal are too similar, I think. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:35 5
    - ATM withdrawal is a speed event. Grocery checkout is a balance discipline as we limit the space available for checked items. - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:47 2
      - So it is not just a timed event? There are judges? -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 12:57
      - I’d still put them in the same discipline, even though they do require different skills. -- nm - znufrii Aug 4, 11:50
    - change withdrawal to finding lost ATM card? -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:35 1

- 100m dash -- nm - Strongbad Aug 4, 11:46
- "I know jiu-jitsu." That said, I'm very impressed with whitewater kayak and BMX race. -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:31
- I'm basically Michael Phelps with a higher waist and smaller feet, so one of the shorter swimming events. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:30
- Unrelated: my son's ex-girlfriend played water polo in HS. It is vicious. Lots of underwater fighting, literally -- nm - oblique Aug 4, 11:25 1
  - My cousin played in college. Pissed off someone, came up for air and got a fist straight to his face which broke his nose. - Max Aug 4, 11:28

      - Oh no, I've said too much. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:28
  - Actually, modern pentathlon would be more fun. -- nm* - znufrii Aug 4, 11:24
- I assume this magic trick could also eliminate my fear of water so I will go with surfing. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:21
- Platform diving -- solo and synchronized. Or fencing. - ReluctantCynic Aug 4, 11:18 4
  - I would get on that platform, nope all the way out, and climb back down -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 11:23 3
    - After he was convinced we wouldn't all drown, my college swim class instructor let us all jump off the platform. - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:27 1
      - Swimming at the Rock -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 12:11
    - The link the other day about rookies just stepping off a 10m platform was scary as hell. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:25

  - So much fun! Emerging unharmed from face-planting repeatedly and acting a fool is a very underrated activity -- nm - con_carne Aug 4, 11:28

- Honest answer: Table Tennis. These folks are damn magicians. -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 11:09 2
  - Yeah, I'd probably want something like Table Tennis or Badmiton though the Beach Vollyball also sounds awesome - oblique Aug 4, 11:28
  - Practice your running around the table technique. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 4, 11:18

  - Oh my -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 11:08 1
    - I mean, they won't be able to because of how small it is. But they should have the opportunity to at least try. -- nm - Qale Aug 4, 11:12
- Snowboarding Edit: And I just saw you specified SUMMER so I'll edit and add "skateboarding." -- nm* - Cuzzin Todd Aug 4, 11:06
And now for something cheery: "These 6 countries are most likely to survive a climate change-caused societal collapse" -- (link) - ty97 Aug 4, 11:03
Let's go -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 11:01
