- rumor only. Treat it on a level of Matt Murdock in Spider-man No Way Home. -- nm - Remlik Sep 13, 09:39 2
  - That wasn't rumour, that was rank conjecture based on a shirt. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 09:45 1
    - Also.the fact that he missed a con due to scheduling conflicts which was the same week as Far From Home reshoots -- nm - eag Sep 13, 09:59

  - i think extract is good. do you have a recipe? -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 13, 09:12 2
    - I can get tonight if that works. I’m in the office today. -- nm - spamlet Sep 13, 09:20 1

      - oh the other cookie. why do they keep using the same name?? -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 13, 09:00 1

        Top 3 for me. I devoured a bunch last week so they were on my mind and I knew they used almond. -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 13, 09:23 2
        
        i wonder if a savoiardi with almond extract would be good? -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 13, 09:27 1
        
        I can't see why it wouldn't taste good. I'd certainly be willing to try one or two or three. -- nm - Krusty Sep 13, 09:29
- Indian rice pudding maybe? You could sub in almond milk for extra almondity. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 13, 08:44 1
  - i don't think i've ever had that before. -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 13, 08:50
- I'm looking at cake recipes and suddenly thinking how difficult or risky it must be to flake almonds at home. -- nm - Max Sep 13, 08:43 2
  - No chance I'd do it myself. Thankfully you can just buy slivered almonds otherwise there would be a lot of people missing the tips of their fingers. -- nm - Krusty Sep 13, 09:26
  - i wouldn't know where to start with that... -- nm - chicken daddy Sep 13, 08:50
It sounds like Kim feels about American the way Diva feels about Delta -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 08:40 2
- I have great Delta experiences! Nothing but horror with American. -- nm - Dark Callisto Sep 13, 09:03
- I haven't used them since. -- nm - Diva Sep 13, 08:45
Aaron Rodgers' response shoulda been "I played bad AND there are 16 games to go." and then he should have snickered + did the evil moustache twirl. -- nm - Diva Sep 13, 08:36 1

- Awesome! Which beach? -- nm - Inigo Sep 13, 08:38 3
  - Rehoboth -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 08:41 2
    - Nice. Would love to get down there one of these days. *spends another weekend in OCNJ* -- nm - znufrii Sep 13, 09:45 1
      - it's just our speed. kinda feels like a throw-back. beach is pretty clean. family friendly, not too crowded -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 09:47

  - and are those antlers? -- nm - Diva Sep 13, 08:38 6
    - I think he watched that Shadow & Bone series. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 09:13
    - yep. Antlers & Swastikas, like Astaire & Rogers -- nm - mud Sep 13, 08:42 4
      - do the antlers improve the gas mileage of the vehicle? maybe all vehicles should have antlers. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 13, 09:03 1
        
        No. They are a safety feature. Cars with antlers perform better in crash tests. -- nm - Dano Sep 13, 09:07
      - Heh. -- nm - Krusty Sep 13, 08:47
      - smh -- nm - Diva Sep 13, 08:46

So Scenes from a Marriage were Scenes from a Marriage ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- nm - budice Sep 13, 08:19 1

Y: The Last Man episode 1 spoiler - Krusty Sep 13, 08:14
That's good news, Beaker. (My first time count was much higher, but also benign) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:13 1
- Just saw that. Glad it all went well. Yay good health! -- nm - Krusty Sep 13, 08:19
So my current earworm is mix of that Xmas song in that Hawkeye trailer and the score from Twilight Zone the Movie Kick the Can segment. - Jovian Sep 13, 08:11 1
- My current earworm is "Bezos I" by Bo Burnham. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:26
That's a 200m opening weekend fur shure. (I'm kidding, I haven't watched the trailer yet.) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:08
Texas folk, I'm watching tomorrow's weather for Dallas, and they don't seem to be concerned about Nicholas? Here's hoping my flight won't be impacted. -- nm - Meg Sep 13, 08:06 10
- I'm in Dallas area. Our weather this morning said only a slight chance of rain and scattered thunderstorms. Also see Kim's post below. - Pippy Sep 13, 08:23
- Are you on American? It may be impacted regardless. - Dark Callisto Sep 13, 08:19 5
  - I have something 1.4 million lifetime miles with American, and yeah they aren't the most operationally reliant I agree, but I'll give them this.... - ty97 Sep 13, 08:27 4
    - Oh, I know all about that :) -- nm - Meg Sep 13, 08:35
    - Rookie numbers -- nm - psilotum Sep 13, 08:32 1
      - It's true, I'm embarrassed by my rookieness. -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 08:34
    - I did once sit in the American club at LGA, where the sun was out. A bunch of people were trying to fly to Chicago, where the sun was out. - ty97 Sep 13, 08:29
- I think most the weather is going to stay south and east of Dallas but know your backup options just in case - ty97 Sep 13, 08:09 2
  - They canceled my original Phoenix flight:( so yes, it would be Chicago:( -- nm - Meg Sep 13, 08:33 1
    - ugh, sorry, yeah Phoenix would have almost certainly been easier -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 08:38
meanwhile, I dont have any idea what today's panagram actually is. Every solution I have tried is apparently not cromulent -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 08:05 6
- It's not fixable? -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 08:07 5
  - Don't forget affixable. -- nm - VMan Sep 13, 08:21 2
    - this is what i tried right before posting. just tried again - not accepted -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 08:30 1
      - Huh. Just went to the solver and it does not recognize it either. -- nm - VMan Sep 13, 08:36
  - it is. Swore I tried that earlier and it was rejected. I probably musubi'd it -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 08:12 1
    - Fixed it! -- nm - ty97 Sep 13, 08:13
TV PSA: Hell's Kitchen, American Ninja Warrior, Raw, Roswell New Mexico, Poker After Dark, The Wall, Y: The Last Man (FX on Hulu), The Daily Show, -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 08:04 2
- NFL, The L Word: Generation Q, Finding Alice, Below Deck Med, Laetitia, Reservation Dogs, Little Ellen, other stuff -- nm* - Beaker Sep 13, 08:06 1
  - UK has Stephen and the final episode of Ghosts (which means hopefully it hits HBO soon and the bloopers get posted). -- nm - LMS Sep 13, 08:19
Leslie Odom Jr., Audra McDonald Will Host Tony Awards and Broadway’s Back Concert -- (link) - ty97 Sep 13, 08:04
Comic Hawkeye is much better than movie Hawkeye. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 08:01 25
- "What's the deal with guys who can't hit the bullseye in a urinal? I mean, come on, you already have gravity on your side!" -- nm - Hawkeye at open mic night Sep 13, 08:19 1
  - [snork] -- nm - mud Sep 13, 08:28
- He needs some better super powers to be interesting. -- nm - Krusty Sep 13, 08:18
- How about Mash Hawkeye ? -- nm - eag Sep 13, 08:15 2
  - Mash Hawkeye wasn't a superhero. - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:17 1
    - He was to the kids who's intestines were sown back together by him... -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 13, 10:36
- I’ve noticed ST has mostly hated Jeremy Renner for a long time—almost always gets a negative reaction -- nm - flavorize Sep 13, 08:14 10
  - He's a legend with me because of The Town. He has a lifetime pass. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 13, 08:41
  - Renner as a person seems to be hot garbage. -- nm - Reagen Sep 13, 08:31 1
    - but what about as a musician? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 13, 08:54
  - Tag was great. 28 Days Later was okay. -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 08:24
  - I like him. I wanted to see more of him in Mission Impossible. - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:16 5
    - God no. Luke Wilson is the movie equivalent of beige. Renner is *great* in a lot of ways. He's got a every-guy routine with a hint of danger - Will Hunting Sep 13, 08:20 4
      - agreed 100%. 12 and Holding was a very good starter movie for him. He can be bland: The Bourne movie he was in -- nm - Pippy Sep 13, 08:31 1
        
        He was very good in American Hustle too. Just not given quite the dramatic scenes that the others got nominations for. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 08:35
      - Counterpoint: I forgot he was in Hurt Locker. But I see what you're saying & agree. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:24 1
        
        With Anthony Mackie?? I ducking know I watched this movie, how did I not remember either of them? -- nm - Beryllium Sep 13, 08:25
- I like movie Hawkeye. - Will Hunting Sep 13, 08:04 7
  - he improvised that last moment on the list. very funny. -- nm - Diva Sep 13, 08:59 1
    - That’s great. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 13, 09:37
  - Yeah, that is all comic Hawkeye. Comic Hawkeye is a bachelor, though. Matt Fraction did a book that is one of my top 10 reads. That was where the girl showed up. -- (edited) - Spawn Sep 13, 08:09 2
    - (married Mockingbird) -- nm - Beaker Sep 13, 08:49 1
      - (they split) -- nm - Spawn Sep 13, 09:00
  - I like him in the movies. Just not sure about a series centered around him. -- nm - sycor Sep 13, 08:08 1
    - Marvel/D+ should use him as their Charlie Brown and just make holiday centric limited series around him. -- nm - Dano Sep 13, 08:19
