  - i hate to tell you - oblique Aug 5, 08:11
  - None of it made sense. The cheerleaders were in uniform amongst the crowds and they looked like... children. - Spawn Aug 5, 08:08

  - Guess how much my retainer is! -- nm - Criminal Lawyer Aug 5, 08:10
  - He did go on to say how much his grandfather was worth. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 07:55

- I love her AND Cheryl Hines, so I want to listen. - Dark Callisto Aug 5, 07:42 1

- nice! I'll check it out. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 07:33
Thing I recently learned: apparently BJ Novak is a total hoebag who spends most of his time cruising 20somethings in NYC. Nm - ralph wiggum Aug 5, 07:15 15
- i kind of thought he and Kaling were together, just super low key. -- nm - Andie Aug 5, 08:28 1

- I expect more restraint from a grown man who goes by "BJ" -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 07:26 6
  - It’s like being surprised there are racial problems at Cracker Barrel. All the warning you need is right there in the name! Nm - ralph wiggum Aug 5, 07:32 2
    - Or that Foot Locker is staffed by fetishist serial killers, although that could just be my local Foot Locker -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 08:09 1
      - If you have an easier way of tracking down all the people with size 10.5 I'd like to hear it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 08:23
  - *snort* -- nm - prayformojo Aug 5, 07:27 2
    - 13 seconds ... that's a quick snort -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 07:27 1
      - I'd been holding that in all morning until I saw something that merited it. - prayformojo Aug 5, 07:31
- Nothing suprises me with that dbag -- nm - budice Aug 5, 07:18

  - Exactly! Nm - ralph wiggum Aug 5, 07:18 1
    - Exactly, indeed. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 07:57

- Looking at the number of emails in my inbox rising and despairing. -- nm - Dark Callisto Aug 5, 07:43
- a variety of small tasks that will amount to nothing.. -- nm - chicken daddy Aug 5, 07:40 2
  - Still, probably good for the soul. -- nm - mara Aug 5, 07:47
  - Oh, is it Thursday already? -- nm - rollo Aug 5, 07:41
- Making flowcharts. -- nm - loosilu Aug 5, 07:35

  - Is Maude still with you? ❤️ Nm - ralph wiggum Aug 5, 07:17 4
    - She is. :-) She's staying with me for most of the month so there will be many pictures coming for the next few weeks. - Krusty Aug 5, 07:20 3
      - MAUDE! -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 07:22
      - OPH YEAH!! Nm - ralph wiggum Aug 5, 07:21 1

oblique: thread on new legislation for crypto -- (link*) - decline Aug 5, 06:55 1
- thanks. seems a very common sense approach -- nm - oblique Aug 5, 07:06
Jaxsean. Not sure because I’m so casual, but I think I just tripped our Pokémon besties mark. -- nm - Qale Aug 5, 06:50 1
- OK, i'll drop an egg as soon as I open the app. - JaxSean Aug 5, 06:55
DTL: Will, you're playing my conference rival in the semifinals. I took 2 out of 3 from him this year, so don't let me down. -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 5, 06:49 1

South Park has been renewed through Season 30 in 2027. Also, it will get 14 movies on Paramount Plus in a $900 million deal, -- (link) - mud Aug 5, 06:41 4
- That right there is Casa Bonita money! -- nm - David Aug 5, 08:13

  - Indeed. Rewatched the "Fag" episode a couple nights ago. -- nm - Spawn Aug 5, 07:49
  - agreed -- nm - mud Aug 5, 07:42
Spirit up to 48% canceled today. That's around where they were this time yesterday before hitting 60% - ty97 Aug 5, 06:35 10
- Will Hunting - I'm not sure who (if anyone) would have the authority to do anything here (and what they would do) -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:36 9
  - Right now, it seems incomprehensible to me that you have a popular airline that’s a legitimate Schroedinger’s Airliner. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 5, 06:44 8
    - Other airlines have had meltdowns like this before over the past several years, but this one seems to NOT be improving at all -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:52 4
      - and other airlines will interline -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:52 3
        
        Not always possible though so you legitimately are impacting hundreds of thousands a day due to ‘reasons’. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 07:05 2
        
        What I mean is, Spirit doesn't interline. Other airlines do when they have issues - ty97 Aug 5, 07:08 1
        
        Plus its easier to recover when you have a hub and spoke system because everything goes through the hub. - spamlet Aug 5, 07:13
    - This is what happens when you have no margin for error. - spamlet Aug 5, 06:47 2
      - I'm very interested in the postmortem when this is said and done -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:53 1
        
        *record scratch* -- nm - NTSB Aug 5, 06:55
The FAA is asking airport police across the country to start arresting more unruly passengers instead of questioning and releasing. -- (link) - ty97 Aug 5, 06:32 14
- Is this because of the duct tape guy? - loosilu Aug 5, 07:37 1
  - There have been SO many incidents in the past few months, it's been really bad -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 07:45
- And that might make it federal charges depending on when it happens. - Will Hunting Aug 5, 07:02
- But muh freeeedoms! -- nm - Qale Aug 5, 06:53
- Southwest added that you couldn’t drink alcohol that you brought on the plane to the announcements. - spamlet Aug 5, 06:34 7
  - I've heard that one for a while on Canadian airlines. -- nm - Reagen Aug 5, 07:29
  - Do they do a funny little rhyme with it? -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 5, 06:40 3
    - Nah, SW has mainly dropped the cutesy it seems. - spamlet Aug 5, 06:43 2
      - Yeah, they tried to pivot to picking up business travelers a while ago (successfully so from what I can tell) - ty97 Aug 5, 07:09
      - Too bad. I was hoping for "The flight is long so you can snooze but please put away your booze." -- nm - Baron of the Rings Aug 5, 06:45
  - Delta's had that one for a few months, I wasn't quite sure why they added it, I guess I get it now -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:35 1
    - Doubly weird since Southwest wasn’t serving alcohol. Just Coke, Diet, 7up, coffee, and water. - spamlet Aug 5, 06:39
- just eject them from the plane - oblique Aug 5, 06:32 1
  - its a viable option -- nm - Pippy Aug 5, 07:02
Ok. So I came across the craziest reward thing yet. Hyatt Explorist (middle tier - which I reached this week) matches to MGM M Life at their Gold - oblique Aug 5, 06:27 2
- you are making my head hurt but yay!! -- nm - Pippy Aug 5, 07:03
- That's a lot of circular logic early in the morning -- nm - JaxSean Aug 5, 06:44
so the panagram is just the longest word? -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:26 13
- the longest possible accepted word that contains all the available letters -- nm - prayformojo Aug 5, 06:29 9
  - Just to be That Guy: it’s any word that uses all 7 of the letters at least once. There can be multiple pangrams in a puzzle. Nm - ralph wiggum Aug 5, 07:09
  - The solution always include all words that use all letters, not only the longest one. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 5, 06:57
  - If every letter has to be used, then what's special about the middle letter? -- nm - mara Aug 5, 06:42 4
    - For the game on The NY Times site you need to use the middle letter in each word you make. - Krusty Aug 5, 06:46 3
      - Ah, "the most words possible" was the piece I'd been missing. -- nm - mara Aug 5, 06:50 2
        
        yeah we just play "best word." quality over quantity. -- nm - amanda jeans Aug 5, 07:05
        
        👍🏼 -- nm - Krusty Aug 5, 06:54
  - Well, sir, you didn't explain the rules properly to me previously. Hmph. -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:31 1
    - You must now go back through the ST archive and find the panagram for all linked Spelling Bees -- nm - prayformojo Aug 5, 06:33
- Using every letter at least once -- nm* - Krusty Aug 5, 06:28 2
  - I've been lied to all along -- nm - ty97 Aug 5, 06:29 1
    - You just haven’t been paying attention. -- nm - mafic Aug 5, 06:31
