  - What’s wrong with Uber?! - ty97 Nov 8, 04:44 5
    - Someone on reddit had the same issue. They had taken a cab in the past but the doctor/admin. was insisting they have someone to take them home. - Krusty Nov 8, 04:49 4
      - Yes, a health-care legal thing. You’re fully anesthetized, so the caregiver you’re being turned over to cannot just be hired personnel. -- nm - Landbeck Nov 8, 05:12 2
        
        It makes sense. I know there's a similar but less invasive procedure that you can go home on your own from. - Krusty Nov 8, 05:16 1

  - Theresa told me this morning she had no idea who he was and didn't think she'd heard of him before this weekend. - Krusty Nov 8, 04:58
- ... they were headlining this doof, when they had Lil Nas X right there?? (Or am I reading the wrong poster?) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 23:43 2
  - Travis Scott is so much bigger/more popular than Lil' Nas X. It's not even close. -- nm - Krusty Nov 8, 04:16 1
    - They are also very different vibes of rap for sure. -- nm - Qale Nov 8, 06:38
- The first of *many* lawsuits filed by injured concert goer -- (link) - zeitgeist Nov 7, 23:35
- Swap him out for this guy, assuming this guy can currently do live shows. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 7, 23:20
- I don't care what type of insurance you have, he's not worth booking. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 7, 23:15 1
  - I appreciated the seemingly concerted effort on Reddit over the weekend to post endless videos of other acts (Vedder, Foo, Eilish) halting shows to - oblique Nov 8, 05:28
minor annoyance of the day. the NHL sold all of their AUS/NZ rights to ESPN. ESPN only streams live, and not every game. boo-urns. guess I need a VPN. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 22:59 3
- Yeah all the out of market games here are on ESPN+ now (at least for the Ballys networks) - spamlet Nov 8, 04:57
- I started seeing the NHL on Hulu. I don't know if they're live or not but they seem to have games every night. -- nm - Krusty Nov 8, 04:17
- I'd suggest Mozilla VPN, mostly because I hope they don't fail as a business. They're the last hope of non-Chromium/non-WebKit browsing. - Beryllium Nov 7, 23:13

A little under a week using a CPAP. I used to absolutely NEED daily naps. Nary a one since starting. - TWuG Nov 7, 21:14 5
- hang in there, I know you can resist the dark side -- nm - crash davis Nov 8, 05:53
- I've been tempted to try something like that. I did get tested for apnea and they didn't find any, though. Just snoring. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 21:55
- Heh, every time I hear CPAP I think of one of our desert rats running a long extension cord out of the restroom to her tent :) - Meg Nov 7, 21:28 2
  - I had a fieldy who modified his field ute with extra batteries for his CPAP. even had a switch to isolate one to start the car in the morning. -- nm - mafic Nov 7, 21:41 1
    - I think we tried something like that for dry camping but the extension cord was preferred if there was a source. - Meg Nov 7, 22:02
This is one of the greatest runs, I have ever seen—I was laughing at the end…this kid is a beast -- (link) - flavorize Nov 7, 21:07 1

    - place looks perfect for a wedding/private events location -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 7, 23:37
- I like the look of this one, more—less land, but better look—-also, what is happening on Central Saanich—is that some sort of tech hub? 💰🤑 -- (link) - flavorize Nov 7, 21:15 5
  - I wouldn't want to have to mow that strip of lawn next to the cliff. -- nm - Ender Nov 7, 21:27 3
    - no, you have a new gardener for that every month. - mafic Nov 7, 21:46 1
      - Because they quit, right? - spamlet Nov 8, 03:45
    - Hmm...what about lemmings? Do lemmings eat grass? Sorta a win/win there -- nm - Flavorize Nov 7, 21:39
  - Yup, that's a home rather than a museum. -- nm - Meg Nov 7, 21:24
- …mistakes were made. -- nm - Mop Nov 7, 21:07
- I don't get the Knives Out comparison at all. -- nm - Ender Nov 7, 21:04 1
  - The red book room reminded me of the chair room, mostly. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 7, 21:06
- It’s very well staged… just as you said, Bery, cartoonishly so -- (edited) - flavorize Nov 7, 20:56 2
  - It's like every room was designed by a different person. No continuity - and what's with people and *red*? -- nm - Meg Nov 7, 21:02 1
