- Mostly, if I can distract my mind, it fades. Having an internal monologue that likes to discuss the trigger incessantly is hard. - TWuG Nov 16, 15:32 5

    - Is that...different? -- nm - The Allfather Nov 16, 14:28 7
      - To actually answer the question, Days leans more toward campy fun. GH has a perpetual organized crime story. -- nm - Todd Manning Nov 16, 14:50 1

- We actually talked about getting an 8K tv this time, but it was double the price. - The Allfather Nov 16, 13:52 4
  - I don't think I've seen 8k content. On a regular tv from regular distance is the difference even noticeable? I don't feel like 4k is that - pmb Nov 16, 14:25 1
    - If you go to a Best Buy, they may have an 8k on display. It's...pretty mesmerizing. - The Allfather Nov 16, 14:30

  - Yeah, you either buy lots of lottery tickets or you buy a big known quantity. Noah is a pricy declining asset. It’s dumb - Will Hunting Nov 16, 14:15 5
    - It's almost like an over correction to the super long contracts previously given to All-star (former all-star....) corner infielders...... -- nm - JD Nov 16, 14:38 1
