- I've never driven that fast in my life. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:09 9
  - I guess we should be adding "while intoxicated". In which case, when I did in my youth I never exceeded speed limit +5. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:40 1
    - I've never been intoxicated before, either. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:48
  - I think maybe I've done just over 100 on the interstate. It was hard to tell because the digital speedometer in my parent's Buick just blinked over 80 -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 09:10 1

- So they don’t believe anything will be passed at this point. -- nm - spamlet Nov 3, 09:32
- Good. Get back on that horse! We can’t let COVID and Trumpism continue to be our message. I read that somewhere recently. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 09:23
- L3. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 09:19

- That will show 'em! -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:08
My .02 on the elections last night. 1) Democrats have much less interest and get much less motivated by state and local elections than republicans. - pmb Nov 3, 09:07 14
- Point 2 - Strongbad Nov 3, 09:22 9
  - To be fair, Trump is a piece of shit. - JaxSean Nov 3, 09:56
  - I think that's different. Republicans rage incessantly (even while holding the majority). That's all that conservative news does. Endlessly. - pmb Nov 3, 09:29 2
    - It was absolutely necessary and appropriate. But it was still 4 straight years of rage. - Strongbad Nov 3, 09:35 1
      - Totally agree. But they can create rage over the teaching of CRT when it is literally not taught in public schools anywhere k-12. - pmb Nov 3, 09:44
  - The more progressive wing of the party will always rage. They rage against themselves. That’s kind of their thing. -- nm - Qale Nov 3, 09:25
  - We rage when the country is on fire and the leader is the one setting them. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 09:24 3
    - Whether or not it was justifiable and/or the right thing to do isn't the point. - Strongbad Nov 3, 09:32 2
      - It IS the point though. Raging about something rage-worthy vs just raging on an ongoing state of being -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 09:38
      - Sure. The point is that republicans have been in this state for well over a decade. Democrats went back to their yoga practices. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 09:34
- McAuliffe last night got way more votes than Northam did in 2017 IINM. It's not really a turnout issue, not primarily at least. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 09:18 1
  - I think the bar has been raised, but I still think republicans turn out at a higher rate. -- nm - pmb Nov 3, 09:20
- I’ll say this - Knoxville mobilized at the threat of Trumpers taking over City Council. - Dark Callisto Nov 3, 09:16 1
  - Good -- nm - Pippy Nov 3, 09:54
Word is Rodgers has only claimed to have been “immunized”—meaning natural exposure/past Co-Vid sickness -- nm - flavorize Nov 3, 09:06 1
- As opposed to inoculated, I guess? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 09:07

Anybody ever been to the Segerstrom Concert Hall in Orange County (South Coast Plaza)? - JD Nov 3, 08:51 1
- Are you in the Slacker group on FB or friends with Paul? He goes there a lot. I was there *once* about 15 years ago :) -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 08:56
Baseball rule change I would get behind: Both leagues get the DH and you only get a DH as long as your starter is in the game. - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 08:45 8
- That's just gonna make teams push starters worse than they already do. - Inigo Nov 3, 09:14 2
  - "Push starters" *confused puppy dog head tilt* - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 09:48 1
    - agreed. -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 09:51
- I don't like it. If you want to set a minimum amount of innings for the starter to throw I could probably get behind that. - Krusty Nov 3, 08:55 3
  - Isn't it the opposite? The longer your starter goes, the longer you keep your DH? - JD Nov 3, 09:07 2
    - Ohtani is a special case. When you use the pitcher as the DH or put the DH in the field you lose the DH and the pitcher now has to occupy that spot - Krusty Nov 3, 09:25 1
      - The idea is that it eliminates the "starting reliever", it encourages third-time through the order by the starter, and it punishes those who... - Name Withheld By Request Nov 3, 09:50
- oh I like that too -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:47

  - shit canning anti-vaxxers they way it should be -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:47 2
    - "suspended" -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 08:53 1
      - unpaid leave, timing; eventually will be canned I would assume -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:54
McCaffrey back from IR -- (link) - decline Nov 3, 08:44 3
- I will rule Astro now -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 09:06 2

    - Soy un perdedor -- nm - oblique Nov 3, 09:09
If Nathan Chen skates anywhere near to what he did last weekend at Skate Canada, he will be fine for the Olympics. IF. - Diva Nov 3, 08:40
Also—Rappaport saying ARodgers is unvaccinated, which is against what Rodgers has stated publicly. -- (pic) - flavorize Nov 3, 08:36 [Attachment] 17
- I wonder if his hippie dippy girlfriend talked him into that? -- nm - Pippy Nov 3, 08:43 7
  - That AND MORE -- nm - rollo Nov 3, 08:51
  - He's a grown ass man. -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 08:48 5
    - Agreed. I'm just curious how his decision was made. -- nm - Pippy Nov 3, 09:58
    - Post-vacation Diva is having NONE of it. - ty97 Nov 3, 08:54 1
      - Thanks - and we did! -- nm - Diva Nov 3, 09:08
    - Yup—and was practicing/playing under the vaccinated protocols—he’s in big, big trouble -- nm* - flavorize Nov 3, 08:51 1
      - *wonders if all the teams they beat can now protest those losses* -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:53
- Here's the actual tweet. Screenshots make me think they're fake. -- (link) - spamlet Nov 3, 08:43 1
  - It’s real and Mike Garafolo did report the same thing -- nm - flavorize Nov 3, 08:44
- It appears David has lost both TYHilton and ARodgers for our BF match-up. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 08:43
- What an ass -- (link) - decline Nov 3, 08:42 1
  - I think he’s in big trouble—NFL has to suspend him -- nm - flavorize Nov 3, 08:43
- is it wrong of me to hope he gets super fucking sick? -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:37 3
  - I wish the exact opposite. -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 08:42 1
    - I wish, let them fight. -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 08:45
  - Technically yes, but the Vatican might grant an indulgence. Just this once. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 08:40
heh, The Packers game is gone from Pro Line. -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:36 2

- It’s jumped to -8 for Chiefs, almost everywhere -- nm - flavorize Nov 3, 08:36
Wow, the Orioles pitching last year was using Adjusted ERA, the worst since the 1954 Philadelphia A's. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:34
2) How is Freed’s ankle not busted in half, after this play at 1st base…guy stepped on his ankle and his ankle went flat -- (link) - flavorize Nov 3, 08:32 1
- He's really lucky if there's no damage to it at all. Those spikes hurt so bad and you can see the marks they left on his pants. -- nm - Krusty Nov 3, 08:35
2 things: 1) Before yesterday, the ESPN Twitter account had no posts about the WS for the last 12 days (ie none after Dodgers were eliminated) -- nm - flavorize Nov 3, 08:30
I'm behind on a few things... WOW, Cincnnatti placed 6th in the CFB Rankings? What a shame. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 08:30 10
- I hadn't seen this either. Strength of Schedule impact or something else? -- nm - ty97 Nov 3, 08:44 5
  - They don't think they've had the depth of schedule (despite having the 2nd best win of anyone in the top 10) - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:46 2
    - I get the IM is the deal, I'm just wonder how the formulation (because this supposed to be math, right?) made that happen -- (edited) - ty97 Nov 3, 08:57 1
      - They basically make it up as they go....it's all opinion boiled down to the non-Power 5 teams aren't going to ever measure up. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 09:16
  - They came into South Bend and schooled us pretty badly. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 3, 08:46 1
    - Definitely but beside the Notre Dame game they have - ty97 Nov 3, 08:52
- It's a joke. Behind Oregon and Ohio State is insulting. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:35 3
  - I would bet on Cincinnati over any team on a neutral site except UGA and Bama. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 3, 08:40 2
    - At worst, they're 4th behind Michigan State and the 2 SEC teams. - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:45
    - after watching the MSU RB Saturday I'd have to consider them close -- nm - Beaker Nov 3, 08:42
oh shoot, sorry Kelly, i was thinking of board games. those are really expensive. console gaming is essentially free once you get the console. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 08:24 7
- Kelly, google says at least a 256gb card... -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 3, 08:37 5
  - 256 is a shitton. If price is a concern, 128 is still a great deal of space. - Qale Nov 3, 09:13 1
    - Oh no, that’s fine. The 1tb card was looking a little steep, though. -- nm - kelly Nov 3, 09:42
  - The bigger the better and they're fairly cheap. -- nm - spamlet Nov 3, 08:38 2
    - Also, the faster the better. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 08:41 1
      - Yep, biggest one you can get, basically. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 3, 08:50
