Catching up on BB... I'm not entirely convinced the skittles colors have different flavors, and Sinema might be my favorite Senator. -- nm - Ender Oct 28, 15:40 2
- because she's a GOP plant? - mud Oct 28, 15:50 1

    - It was SFEK but they shouldn’t need them -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 15:35

  - Meta Survivor -- nm - Danoween-ween Oct 28, 14:33

  - -- nm* - con_carne Oct 28, 14:17 1
    - I already liked it before that - but the main reason I tout it now is in memory of a coworker. - Beryllium Oct 28, 14:20
Random thought... Remember when Hollywood decided we needed a whole bunch of movies in 3D again? - Necromandie Oct 28, 14:04 3

- Truth. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 14:08

  - Or you could just play like Akron. He doesn't have a starter under 6'7" -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 28, 15:17 3
    - That's ultimately what I decided to do - 0 PP on 10 possible recruits, expecting a high ranked class but not sure about the lineup -- nm - rollo Oct 28, 15:32
    - Seems to work okay -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 15:32 1
      - Yeah, he does a'ight. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 28, 15:37
- I feel like there should be a game notes section "caught girlfriend cheating 2 hours before game time" -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 14:08 4
  - He didn't commit his first until 90s in so he committed 5 fouls in 4 minutes. - spamlet Oct 28, 14:09 3
    - He threw the game so you could play Will -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 28, 15:22 2
      - The Battle for 43rd! - spamlet Oct 28, 15:40 1
        
        Math confirmed. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 28, 15:43
- LOL, hi Will. -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 14:04
Crypto wash sales are in the bill. - spamlet Oct 28, 13:57 8
- I don't see the mark-to-market tax but there is a surcharge of 5% of income >$10m and 3% of income >$25m -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 14:02 1
  - Yeah, the billionaire tax with mark-to-market was a non-starter. -- nm* - znufrii Oct 28, 14:06
- There's no wash rule for crypto right now? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:57 5
  - Nope. It's a thing in the crypto community to sell on drops and rebuy to generate losses. - spamlet Oct 28, 13:58 4
    - "Treat us like a currency! ... No, not like that" -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 14:00
    - I mean, yeah, if there was no wash rule I'd do it too! - ty97 Oct 28, 13:59 2
      - "no tax, only grow" -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 14:03
      - 2022 -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 14:01
Facebook is metastic. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:55 3

  - It's a shortening of metastatic -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 14:08 1
    - Metastasized -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 28, 15:40
Excel help.. I've got list items on another tab with colored backgrounds. I'd like those items to retain the cell color when I select. - colin Oct 28, 13:37 5
- You might have to write a series of if/then formulas. I don't think you can bring the formatting to a new cell (let alone worksheet). -- nm* - loosilu Oct 28, 13:47 3
  - apparently there is a "Highlight Cells Rule" that you can set to the value of the cell. Have to do it for each list item in the table, then drag... - colin Oct 28, 13:54 2
    - Edited oh wait, I think that has been there for awhile. It works with numbers, don't think it works with text. I've used it a lot -- (edited) - loosilu Oct 28, 13:54 1
      - i can set to equals whatever word i'm trying to highlight and it seems okay with it -- nm - colin Oct 28, 13:56

  - MetaWorldEvil -- nm - Spawn Oct 28, 13:41 1
    - andnothingbut -- nm - mud Oct 28, 14:04
It's called Meta because they farm data from all the users and sell it as a product. Meta data. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 28, 13:27
We had a flight into Orlando today. Heavy rain all around the airport. Pilot aborted the landing *twice* when we were a few hundred yards from the - prayformojo Oct 28, 13:22 28
- Hopefully that doesn't happen tomorrow. My wife might never get back on a plane. -- nm - spamlet Oct 28, 13:55 2
  - Are you going to Denverlando too? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:58 1
    - Half right. - spamlet Oct 28, 13:59
- "We're taking you to Tampa instead." NOOOO!!!! -- nm - Mop Oct 28, 13:31 1
  - Would have been a shorter diversion, but if it's storming in Orlando it's quite possibly storming in Tampa. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:33
- All the way down to RSW, wow (wave to my parents!) - ty97 Oct 28, 13:27
- I seriously would have melt down if this had happened to us. - The Allfather Oct 28, 13:24 10
  - See above! It's a standard procedure! It has an acronym! You're fine! -- nm* - ty97 Oct 28, 13:28 1
    - Only good things have acronyms, never bad! -- nm - Reagen Oct 28, 13:30
  - The crew (all female - pilot, copilot, flt attendants) and the passengers all did a really good job of taking everything in stride -- nm - prayformojo Oct 28, 13:27 7
    - That explains it. - Spawn Oct 28, 13:42 1
      - You mean, it explains why they were cool about it. -- nm - loosilu Oct 28, 13:54
    - They would have had to drug me. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 28, 13:29 4
      - Billy Gunn would knock you out then -- nm - Remlik Oct 28, 13:39
      - Sometimes they do these last minute 'take off again' procedures because a plain didn't clear off the runway you are trying to use and you'd hit it. -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:30 2
        
        you're not helping :) -- nm - kilbooooo! Oct 28, 13:36 1
        
        It has an acronym! -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:54
- I had that happen once in Denver last year. It is freaky. -- nm - kilbooooo! Oct 28, 13:24 2
  - weird that they'd divert a plane from Denver to Ft. Myers. -- nm* - Reagen Oct 28, 13:27 1
    - It was snowing in 99% of the country! -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:31
- Yikes. Glad you got there safely. -- nm - znufrii Oct 28, 13:22 7
  - "I apologize about that, folks, but....well, I just couldn't see the runway" -- nm - what the pilot told us Oct 28, 13:27 6
    - Were you flying to Orlando Sanford? I figured MCO had ILS? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:29 4
      - we were going into MCO -- nm - prayformojo Oct 28, 13:35 3
        
        Huh weird. I thought ILS allowed planes to land without visibility, but I'm not actually versed in it or know the rules -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:53 2
        
        Maybe you still need to be able to see it at the last minute at least to make sure it's clear, even if you use ILS? -- nm - ty97 Oct 28, 13:54 1
        
        This. Every ILS approach has a decision height associated with the approach. At that height, the crew has to make the decision to land or go around - JD Oct 28, 15:29
    - Holy crap! -- nm - zunk xometimes Oct 28, 13:28
Oh! You want to destabilize Democracy? That's so meta... -- nm - decline Oct 28, 13:15 3
- I mean, naming something meta is pretty meta. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 28, 13:16 2
  - Quit trying to make meta happen. - spamlet Oct 28, 13:18 1
    - Hopefully, Facebook has a worse season. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 28, 13:21
3, 2, 1, let's jam. -- nm - Full Size Candy Baron Oct 28, 13:14 1
