- Where are the good toddlers with guns to protect people from this, huh, NRA? Moar guns! (NM) - Marlowe Aug 13, 11:34
- You have to teach kids *young* no to do this shit on camera. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 11:31 7
  - Or at least teach them better trigger discipline. Finger off unless you intend to shoot. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 13, 11:45 2
    - What if they did? -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:46 1
      - That's a paddlin'. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 13, 11:52

    - I've had enough stories of toddlers getting accidentally shot. Those stories haven't changed a damn thing. Maybe adults getting shot by toddlers will change something. -- nm* - Mop Aug 13, 11:36 2

- 2/3/1/1 -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:40
- I have no clue - 1 Discover each, 1 single AMEX and multi Visas and MC - Pippy Aug 13, 12:28
- 6/0/1/1 -- nm - chicken daddy Aug 13, 12:15
- 2/1/0/0/ -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 11:57
- This may be a stupid question, but why would you have more than 1 of each? Unless you're counting debit cards too? -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 11:55 12
  - extras for when we lose the others -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:40
  - you get the sign up rewards, then downgrade to the no-fee version. it takes a number of years of zero use for them to close it for you. - chicken daddy Aug 13, 12:16
  - debit -- nm - loosilu Aug 13, 12:05
  - Different rewards programs, which are better in different places. - Reagen Aug 13, 12:00 1
    - Yup. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:15
  - I have 6 VISA cards - oblique Aug 13, 11:57 5
    - Seems like a lot of effort. Definitely some benefits to be had if you're really always caught up on which is which, but definitely not enough for me - pmb Aug 13, 12:05
    - i think this would stress me out, i like to pay off everything in full each payday. having so many to keep a close eye on seems stressful. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 12:00 3
      - I do the same. Not too big a deal. I use Quicken to manage finances so I have reminders for each of them set up -- nm - oblique Aug 13, 12:01 2
        
        Half of mine basically see no use - Reagen Aug 13, 12:09 1
        
        Yeah, I've had some closed over the years due to lack of activity. -- nm - David Aug 13, 12:15

- 50/50 between MasterCard and Discover. I only had the Discover until they came out with the Apple Card. -- nm* - Tim Aug 13, 11:36 9
  - Sorta wild to see Discover added in with the other 3 - I don't think anyone offers one up here nor is there any wide spread acceptance of it. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:54 8
    - It was 1998, I was old enough and there was a table set up right outside the student union food court. - Tim Aug 13, 11:59 1
      - The dings for applying are only temporary. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:01
    - That is like AMEX, to me. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 11:59 5
      - Amex to me is a very 'business' card. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 12:00 3
        
        AmEx is the best run of all credit cards imo. Their deals are easy to add and require no work on my end. - David Aug 13, 12:14
        
        I use that more than any other. It's expensive, but the benefits tend to pay for them. -- nm - pmb Aug 13, 12:06
        
        They're branching out. The Cobalt is their "hey there fellow kids" card. -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:03
      - Diner’s Club! -- nm - Tim Aug 13, 12:00
- 1/0/0/0 (2/0/0/0 if we're counting debit card) -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 13, 11:34
- 0/1/1/0. MC is heavy use everyday card. AX is internet only purchases. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 13, 11:32
- 6/1/0/1 - oblique Aug 13, 11:31
- 4/1/2/2 -- nm - Mop Aug 13, 11:29
- 1/5/1/0 -- nm* - Reagen Aug 13, 11:29
- 1/1/1/0 -- nm - decline Aug 13, 11:29
- 4/1/3/0 -- nm - David Aug 13, 11:28
- nice try, narc! -- nm - prayformojo Aug 13, 11:27
- 1/1/0/0 , but the only reason I keep my (free) Mastercard nowadays is that it gives me 50% discount on a number of movie theaters. Or gave, at least. - Marlowe Aug 13, 11:27
- 2/2/0/1 (including gas card and bank card) -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 11:24
- 2 Visa, no other credit cards of any type - TWuG Aug 13, 11:24

- I only have one credit card. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 11:18
WTF just happened? -- (link) - Mop Aug 13, 11:08 9
- Are we sure they didn't plan that together? Because if so that would be great. -- nm - Max Aug 13, 12:46
- Hart is 42, so I expect he thought Don was much closer to his age. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:32 2
  - I feel like the reaction to any adult casually mentioning their age should just be *polite nod* -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 12:40 1
    - But see, he is *funny*. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:50
- Hart can't handle it when he gets called on his shit. -- nm - Remlik Aug 13, 11:11 4
  - DAMN!!! -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 11:43 2
    - I can't decide whether I thought he was younger or older. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 13, 11:54 1
      - I had him at 54, so close. -- nm - Spawn Aug 13, 12:31
  - Yes-- but I expect he's also dealt with a lifetime of shitty short jokes and wonders what the big deal is -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 11:28
Canada to require vaccinations for all public servants as well as air, train, marine passengers -- (link) - Reagen Aug 13, 10:59 4
- good. -- nm - Andie Aug 13, 11:38
- I wish they'd apply it to non-overnight ferries, but it would probably be impossible. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 11:04 2
  - (Based on the phrasing, but likely not on the reality, does this mean that kids can't fly?) -- nm - Beryllium Aug 13, 11:04 1
    - would likely be based on the vax status of their parents. - Reagen Aug 13, 11:06
Major League II has a Fresh Rating of 5%. - David Aug 13, 10:51 9
- Now I have to re-watch that. My memory is that it pales to the first one but I don't remember it as that bad -- nm - JD Aug 13, 11:18 1
  - I mainly remember David Keith. -- nm - David Aug 13, 11:29
- How in the HELL is Major League 3 higher? - eag Aug 13, 10:58 4
  - Right? 3 was absolutely horrible. -- nm - Dean Winchester Aug 13, 11:01 3
    - 4 was quality. - Spawn Aug 13, 11:19 2
      - Where do you think 4 came from? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Aug 13, 12:21
      - Sorry. Your life was better not knowing. -- nm - Dean Winchester Aug 13, 11:19
- Too high, too high! -- (edited) - Will Hunting Aug 13, 10:54 1
  - Dang, was typing the same joke. -- nm - spamlet Aug 13, 10:56
The co-founder of Snopes has been suspended after a plagiarism scandal -- (link*) - Reagen Aug 13, 10:46 2

  - I dunno, Coast Guard? -- nm - Reagen Aug 13, 10:49
me: we need to do this. analyst: that's stupid. it doesn't get us anywhere. me: that's the exercise. that's the job. analyst: I'm going to do this - amanda jeans Aug 13, 10:43 2
- *not sure if you are talking to your therapist or auditor -- nm - zeitgeist Aug 13, 11:38

  - You really have! I'm overdue for something to break my way. -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 13, 11:00 1
    - SoS #2 isn't helping matters. :P -- nm - Baron and Barratry Aug 13, 11:41
I don't think the acapella group The Bobs made the list -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 13, 10:33
I had a strong feeling Seger would be #3 -- nm - mud Aug 13, 10:32 3
- #5 is a mystery -- nm - oblique Aug 13, 10:44 2
  - Orr? Or is strictly Bob? -- nm - VMan Aug 13, 11:47
