NPR books editor Petra Mayer died on Saturday, of what is thought to be a pulmonary embolism -- (link) - Remlik Nov 13, 19:43
Heh. Fun definition of jiu jitsu. -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 13, 19:32
Finally got tickets to Hamilton. This will double as Mom and Dad's Christmas present. Obstructed view, but shouldn't be too bad. - Ender Nov 13, 18:55 [Attachment] 6
- Hmmm... Some word in this post triggered my blocked list, but for the life of me I don't know what... -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 19:12 5
  - Obstructed? -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 19:48 4
    - Nope... -- (pic) - Ender Nov 13, 19:53 [Attachment] 3
      - The auto-generated filename for the attachment, which lists at the bottom of the post, had [redacted] in its name, is that it? - ty97 Nov 13, 20:01 1
        
        That must be it. -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 20:08
      - Maybe it was just objecting on principle to the idea of $250 theater tickets in Dayton, Ohio. -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 19:58
This isn't zillow-level or anything, but man does this place need some redecorating. - ty97 Nov 13, 18:52
It’s estimated that the Travis Scott Astroworld Fest grounds were infiltrated over 13 times during the course of the day and venue was 5k+ over… - Qale Nov 13, 18:41 2
- I hope they can use social media to identify some of the assholes who were pushing the crowd trying to get closer while others were trying to get out - zeitgeist Nov 13, 18:48 1
  - I have zero confidence any formal charges will be made towards anyone. Civil lawsuits only. -- nm - Qale Nov 13, 18:52
I would argue that army of thieves was a better movie than Red Notice (and it even featured a red notice!) - Beryllium Nov 13, 18:35 4
- it's like movies waited till Red Notice came out to start using the term Red Notice. I've heard it like 5 times recently -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 18:37 3
  - Is it anything like a Burn Notice? Because that's all I can think of. -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 19:00 2
    - A burn notice is an informal disavowal between spy agencies. A red notice is a top-level Interpol arrest warrant. But I'm in the same boat as Beaker. - Beryllium Nov 13, 19:01 1
      - When you're burned, you've got nothing. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 13, 19:07
Oh yeah Texas really looks prepared to play in the SEC - eag Nov 13, 18:23
How long before Thanksgiving do you think I can buy fresh sage and still have it be good? There's always a huge run on it in the days leading up. -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 18:04 3
- You could do the Sunday before Thanksgiving, and be really good—supposedly go 10+ days if you ziplock it, but 😬 -- nm - flavorize Nov 13, 18:22
- Wrap it in a damp paper towel, and stick it in a ziploc bag and you should get at least a couple weeks. -- nm - mafic Nov 13, 18:21 1
  - this,.... -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 13, 18:31
Just retire, JR. -- (link) - Tim Nov 13, 17:26 9
- It's being said that he might need to due to his cancer. - the wrong element Nov 13, 20:14
- sounds like he's three sheets to the wind -- nm - Reagen Nov 13, 17:28 7
  - He's got Bells Palsy so slurring isn't an unheard of thing. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 17:56 6
    - Y'all stepping on my bedding puns. -- nm - Reagen Nov 14, 05:09
    - And skin cancer. - The Allfather Nov 13, 18:06 4
      - I knew that but wasn’t sure of the location/slurring impact. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 18:13 3
        
        It would depend on whether he's had treatment this week. - The Allfather Nov 13, 18:28 2
        
        That one would suck...I'd probably just go Bryan the entire time and play it off either way. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 18:30
        
        He corrected himself on that one and it definitely upset him. -- nm - Tim Nov 13, 18:28
This match is nuts and it's the 1st one -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 17:26 1
- Didn’t like the ending. - Tim Nov 13, 17:32
You'd think with all the ant-man comics & collections published, there would've been at least one Anthology. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 16:31 5
- they are trying to write a good ending so it won't be ANTiclimatic. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 13, 17:28
- Boom -- (link) - Remlik Nov 13, 16:37 3
  - I understand that it *is* an Anthology, but for all the collections, they seem to have avoided an ANThology, you know? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 16:43 2
    - I think you mean an ant-thology. Pretty sure that's how it's spelled. -- nm - Ender Nov 13, 17:22
    - DOH! -- nm - Remlik Nov 13, 16:47
"It’s a musical explosion." -- (link) - mud Nov 13, 16:29 3
- 14 years in the making? When's ST's album going to drop? -- nm - Max Nov 13, 16:54 1
  - The studio kicked us out for breaking too much of the equipment -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 17:03

Watching Shang Chi I think it's unfair - Max Nov 13, 15:29
I..don’t think they know how this meme works -- (link) - spamlet Nov 13, 14:59 1
- The angry emoji may indicate otherwise. But yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 15:06
Now watching Superman: Red Son. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 13, 14:58
Played a 'top musicians' game with my brothers/friends last night: - Max Nov 13, 14:39 8
- no ELP, ABB, Springsteen, or Dead? -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 13, 16:30
- Interesting. I have thoughts. Not sure age range of the youngsters but I didn't think Millinials or Gen Z listened to albums. - zunk xometimes Nov 13, 15:07 2
  - Some of it was just awareness - I don't know Isbell's albums. -- nm - Max Nov 13, 15:31 1
    - He’s got a cover in the Blacklist album that I really like. Not a fan of his musical style but he seems to do it really well. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 15:42
- no Beatles or Hip? -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 14:59
- I think Jason Isbell is fantastic. And Huey Lewis never belongs on any "best" list ever. At his best he was tolerable. - pmb Nov 13, 14:47 2
  - Huey Lewis and the News is one of my fave bands ever with two of my favorite albums ever. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 13, 21:17
  - I’m going to leave for a bit or else this is totally going to turn into a thing. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 13, 15:01
DTL: not that it ended up mattering much but I was up 18 in the second half of the conference final. -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 13, 14:37
Just finished watching Shang Chi A+ - eag Nov 13, 14:11 8

    - spoilers - Beaker Nov 13, 16:37 3
      - Thin—spoilers - flavorize Nov 13, 16:53 2
        
        Yep. Not a tough fix. Just say…. - Volnelk Nov 13, 17:57 1
        
        I gave that a pass (spoilers) - eag Nov 13, 18:21
  - There were a few small things that I had a slight issues with - eag Nov 13, 15:31 1

Fun thread about a scene from Shang-Chi (and Simu Liu replied). -- (link) - Tim Nov 13, 14:03 1
- "It is intended for exactly these situations." -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 14:36
Huh, that was weird. My phone just activated driving protection mode ... and I'm just sitting here on my couch. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 13:35 5

- But where is your car? -- nm - Meg Nov 13, 14:08 1
  - I think it's in the garage, but I didn't check. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 14:27
- The earth is hurtling through space, Bery. -- nm - loosilu Nov 13, 13:53 1
  - And rotating, too. But that shouldn't affect the satellites, since they would be occupying the same relative region ... -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 13:58
Seems I've gotten on the kid's activity toy mailing lists. I guess for my purchases for the library :/ -- nm - Meg Nov 13, 13:31
No one on ST mentioned the Obi-Wan news, from yesterday—or the big spoiler reveal? - flavorize Nov 13, 13:31 3

    - I'll watch. (can't say the same for some of the many SW things coming at us) -- nm - mud Nov 13, 15:20

Rittenhouse judge said they couldn’t zoom in on an image on the IPad, as zooming in could add pixels and corrupt the images -- (pic) - flavorize Nov 13, 13:17 [Attachment] 10
- Whoever is introducing this evidence should have printed out the image in full resolution. Fucking passing around an iPad? WTF? -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 14:23 3
  - Who has a printer? -- nm - spamlet Nov 13, 14:59 2

  - Are they trying to argue that Rittenhouse wasn't the shooter? -- nm - Mop Nov 13, 14:28 1
    - Yep. They are going to argue a double-suicide. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 13, 14:41
- It's an iPad, photos are already double-pixeled as it is. Under this logic, they should be zooming out. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 13, 13:36
- That’s not how it works. That’s not how any of this works! -- nm - znufrii Nov 13, 13:25 1
  - if the glove don't fit, then you .... -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 13, 13:55

- No. Why would they be? We usually target right at Thanksgiving. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 13, 11:55 1
  - yeah Thanksgiving seems to the the US date, after Remembrance day (the 11th) is the equivalent up here for alot of folks -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 11:56
- Inside and outside done. Won't turn on outside till this Friday (everyone was out today putting them up, sunny and warm) -- nm - Beaker Nov 13, 11:55
