- I've seen a massive uptick of spam in my gmail, like actually hitting my inbox -- nm - oblique Sep 17, 08:09 1

Gabby Petito disappearance...the plot thickens -- (link) - decline Sep 17, 07:26 6

- Sounds like those two losers who tried murder hiking their way through Northern Manitoba. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 07:55

- Not that there aren't risks, but was listening to an interesting discussion talking about P/E ratios and how many companies are thriving from a move - oblique Sep 17, 07:33 4
  - I'm old enough to remember when a P/E ratio over 15 suggested a stock was getting overpriced -- nm - ty97 Sep 17, 07:34 3
    - P/E 15 = earnings yield of 6.7%. 30 year treasury yields less than 2%. Which would you rather have? -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 17, 07:39 2

- it is a great interview (but SUPER weird hearing his real voice vs his Roy Kent voice) -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 06:45 4
  - I call this the Hugh Laurie effect. People who only knew him from House were really thrown by his normal voice. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 17, 07:14
  - I listen to his podcast, Films To Be Buried With, and I was surprised he sounded a bit different. I don't notice it anymore though. -- nm - Krusty Sep 17, 06:57

Even "Nobody" beat Larry Elder -- (link) - TWuG Sep 17, 05:51 4
- I haven't see the movie yet but would of assumed he could take him -- nm - Beaker Sep 17, 06:33
- Yeah, I realize after that I misinterpreted that relative to the polls. Elder got 45%, but only of those who actually made a choice. -- nm - Reagen Sep 17, 05:59 1
  - We had a dude nicknamed "Mando" right on the ballot, I just had to choose him. -- nm - con_carne Sep 17, 06:39

- I'm eligible for Irish citizenship if I can get the right paperwork together. -- nm - ty97 Sep 17, 05:43 10
  - Hmmm, that could be fun. I can definitively trace back to the great-great-grandfather who came over from Derry - Tenetennbaron Sep 17, 06:52 2
    - For Ireland it goes back two generations. So your grandfather would have to be a citizen. -- nm - spamlet Sep 17, 08:14 1
      - Poop. -- nm - Tenetennbaron Sep 17, 08:21
