Re: PTON - sure it's down 50% in the last month but it's up 80% still from pre pandemic. People pushed it to dumb, unsustainable valuation. -- nm - Reagen Nov 5, 10:37 1

        Ah ok, I just noticed it said play now on my dashboard this morning - J Nov 5, 11:26
        
        Can you explain what this means in layperson's terms? - The Allfather Nov 5, 11:00 3
        
        Full game. If you subscribe to Xbox Game Pass you don't have to pay anything to play the full game. - Max Nov 5, 11:36
        
        People who buy the premium edition get access to the game 4 days earlier. Game pass people get Standard Edition on the 9th -- (link) - oblique Nov 5, 11:03

        Having to pee is tight! -- nm - Producer Guy Nov 5, 11:07
Ja'Marr Chase was rookie of the week three times in October. Najee Harris just won rookie of the month. Wait what? -- nm - Volnelk Nov 5, 09:29 1

Doug Ford changes pitbull ban in Ontario -- (link) - SyrDragon Nov 5, 09:24 11

  - its a 1 minute video! -- nm - Jovian Nov 5, 09:14
My issue with Pelaton, beside the price is that it's essentially one thing. I'm more interested in Tonal but I still think it's too expensive. - Volnelk Nov 5, 09:06 9
- It’s literally not one thing at all. In fact the non cycling workouts are far more popular than the cycling ones. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 09:28 4
  - It is a unique situation. They do not want to push the non-bike because bikes are $, but they are losing out *not* doing it. -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 09:30 1
    - Yup. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 09:31
  - Then I'd say that's one of their problems. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 5, 09:29
  - abs from B2 there’s a bike price and monthly fee. There’s no cost per class. -- nm - MDH Nov 5, 09:29
- I think Tonal looks interesting but they are different things. Peloton does have a variety of workouts in their app as well that I use regularly. - pmb Nov 5, 09:20
- My company is paying for memberships next year. (Don’t have to have a bike; they have other classes.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 5, 09:13
- If I had the room I'd have a tonal right now. -- nm - Remlik Nov 5, 09:08 1
  - It really interests me, but man it's pricy. I floats into my head every so often for consideration. We have the perfect space for it. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 5, 09:15
ST Poll: Can you name your state rep and (if you're not in Nebraska) state senator? I couldn't. Had to Google. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 5, 08:57 26
- Assemblyman: Colin Schmitt (R), Senator: James Skoufis (D) - Tim Nov 5, 11:26
- MLA: Yes. MP: Yes. Senator? No clue. It's a thing that exists, but I don't think it's geographically relevant. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 10:06
- Yes. - ReluctantCynic Nov 5, 09:58
- Of course. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 5, 09:47
- No, neither. Probably because I voted for their opponents. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 5, 09:17 1
  - *ding* -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 09:28
- Nope. I looked them up. Don't even recognize their names. Apparently my state senator is in a wheelchair. -- nm - oblique Nov 5, 09:14
- Our rep is a fake Republican. Our State Senator is like all the rest of the dufuses in politics in TN. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 5, 09:11 3
  - Who’s yours? Mine is Lafferty. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:14 2
    - Rep is Eddie Mannis. Sen is Briggs. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 5, 09:39 1
      - Ahh, I remember the fun of Maniss’ nomination. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:46
- My State Rep yes…(fucking idiot). My State Senator, no. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 5, 09:09
- Yes, Catherine Nolan -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 09:05 1
  - She's my assembly rep. My state senator is Michael Gianaris. I've spoken with him a couple of times. -- nm - Krusty Nov 5, 09:07
- State Senator - yes, but only because I know his sister well. -- nm - Diva Nov 5, 09:05
- Linda Rosenthal and Brad Hoylman -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 09:04 1
  - (ask me in a year after the next election and I may not know) -- nm - ty97 Nov 5, 09:05
- I know my state rep. I vaguely know my state sen, but more by picture and not by name. -- nm - Qale Nov 5, 09:04
- no -- nm - Pippy Nov 5, 09:03
- No. -- nm - loosilu Nov 5, 09:02
- I can describe my State Rep but can't come up with her name. Honestly have no idea on state senator. -- nm - spamlet Nov 5, 09:02 1
  - Oh, duh. I looked it up and forgot that she lost higher office so yes, I know my State Senator. - spamlet Nov 5, 09:04
- nope -- nm - mara Nov 5, 09:00
- nope -- nm - decline Nov 5, 09:00
- Provincial - some Conservative; Federal: Jennica -- nm - Beaker Nov 5, 08:58
- Mary Jo Daley and Vincent Hughes. -- nm - znufrii Nov 5, 08:57
Those of you that reacted to your booster: how long did it take to start feeling your symptoms? -- nm - Spawn Nov 5, 08:50 10
- Got my booster on a Saturday. Woke up that night with a headache, took some Aleve. Feel drained and achy Sunday, then Monday I was okay. -- nm - sycor Nov 5, 11:18
- Next day and two days or so -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 5, 10:10
- Okay. Getting Moderna at the end of the day and seeing Eternals at 9:45. With it being a 5 hour movie, I have concerns, but think I will make it. - Spawn Nov 5, 09:26
- Pfizer - 3-4 hours. - Dark Callisto Nov 5, 09:12
- Got the Pfizer booster yesterday lunchtime. No effect until this morning with a sore arm. That's gone now. Feeling great. This also tracks with my - zunk xometimes Nov 5, 09:11
- Got the booster at 4pm, woke up the next morning (8am) feeling it a bit -- nm - prayformojo Nov 5, 08:59
- Haven't been offered a booster yet -- nm - Beryllium Nov 5, 08:56 1
  - I'm with Bery -- nm - SyrDragon Nov 5, 09:20
- Moderna: About 12 hour to side effects. About 18 hours of side effects. -- nm - Qale Nov 5, 08:55
