Speaking of DTL, I moved up to "Medium" for next season (starting this weekend). And I'll probably move up to "Large" soon. So ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:53 6
- You would need to ask the guy running it. If you are staying in league, that conference is a good one… not a lot of depth so you could see some rapid - Will Hunting Nov 18, 08:58
- Edit: do you mean abandoning and starting with a fresh team? -- nm* - spamlet Nov 18, 08:53 4
  - Nope. I was just wondering if I could (or should) switch to be with other STers. But Will has already persuaded me otherwise. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 09:12 3
    - You're already with us, we're all in different conferences (by design) -- nm - rollo Nov 18, 09:15 2
      - Cool. My anxieties have been calmed. :-) -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 09:27 1
        
        And you want no part of my conference. It's a meat grinder. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 18, 09:49

  - chicken, chili, or crockpot? -- nm - mud Nov 18, 09:27 3
    - "White chicken chili" -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 09:41 2
      - it’s chili, made with chicken, and it’s white. - znufrii Nov 18, 09:55 1

I realized this morning that I ordered 13 pizzas for office lunch today and forgot to order cheese and pepperoni. - Diva Nov 18, 08:26 23
- Enough about pepperoni, tells us what you did order, we're hungry -- nm - rollo Nov 18, 08:35 19
  - And I actually ordered 14 prolly because fear of number 13... - Diva Nov 18, 09:01 17
    - That's an astonishing array of choices. Nobody should be upset. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 09:31
    - now I want pizza. 8 of those listed would be good. The other 6 can burn in Hell -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 09:11 6
      - strong words, Beak. It's just free lunch. -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 09:25 5
        
        But the road to hell is paved with good intentions - Will Hunting Nov 18, 09:29 1
        
        it's the one that went the fastest. -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 09:32
        
        oh I'd still eat them; free pizza remains remains the best pizza :) - Beaker Nov 18, 09:26 2

        Who the hell complains about free pizza? -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 09:34 1
        
        well there was this bitch named Kenneth... -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 09:35
        
        Of course there was....there always is!! Ugh. PEOPLE! -- nm - Pippy Nov 18, 09:32

- There's a built-in with Office, but you have to use Office. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 08:34 2

    - Doodle has to be complicated by it's nature. - Mop Nov 18, 08:39
Volnelk, to me every fragrance from B&BW smells like bubble gum. -- nm - loosilu Nov 18, 08:15 1

That F-100 Illuminator is the nicest truck I've seen since the mid-90s. -- nm - colin Nov 18, 08:15 7
- I think the most interesting part of that concept is that it uses a crate motor (I think?) so in theory one could take an original F-100 and electrify - JD Nov 18, 08:44
- I'm nostalgically yearning for one. Deeply. That model was the first truck I ever learned how to drive. - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:36 1
  - I think mine was a '71. I know I had it in the mid-70s. -- nm - Meg Nov 18, 08:40
- LYC: A place down the street from me designed and built the chassis for that. - zunk xometimes Nov 18, 08:25 1
  - That's pretty cool. They did a great job from the looks of it. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:50
- It’s got old-time character. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 18, 08:19 1
  - B2 :) -- nm - Meg Nov 18, 08:34
Oh, so that's why people were pissed at Paramount. Two days notice that they'd have to wait until 2022 to see the show. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 08:10

  - Main reason to go to executions. - Spawn Nov 18, 08:17 1
    - Sure, that and the free meal. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 08:23

Letterkenny Season 10 trailer -- (link) - Pippy Nov 18, 07:57 [youtube] 12
- Thx Pip. -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 08:03
- Does it get easier to understand? We watched two episodes, and the dialogue is lightning fast. - Inigo Nov 18, 08:03 9
  - Yes. The entire cast starts talking slower over time exactly for that reason. Keep watching. -- nm - con_carne Nov 18, 09:10
  - they do use a lot of slang that you can only understand by looking it up or with context -- nm - colin Nov 18, 08:12
  - Much like a foreign language you get used to the cadence. - spamlet Nov 18, 08:09 3
    - They also don't stop and explain any of the Canadianisms. -- nm - Reagen Nov 18, 09:41 1
      - Can confirm. Being a hockey fan helps some. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 09:46
    - ^this -- nm - Pippy Nov 18, 08:26
  - You do kind of get used to their cadence and conventions after a little while, but the dialogue is the point -- nm - rollo Nov 18, 08:09
  - At home we watch nearly everything with captions so I did not really notice as it is second nature to read them. Having aid that, there are certain characters that are meant to be harder to understand. -- nm* - Spawn Nov 18, 08:08 1
    - The Spelling Bee episode...😂 - Diva Nov 18, 08:13
- Ohhh.... how I have missed my Katy. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 08:00

- Any predictions on the resulting drop in demand for thermal receipt paper? - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:34 4
  - Ha! I've gotten e-mail receipts from them for years so it's weird when I see a receipt print and I'm like "uuuuhhhh......." -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 08:48 2
    - emailed receipts slow down the internet -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 08:48 1
      - Yup. All those electrons clog the tubes. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 08:50
  - Finally we can stop logging old growth in BC -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 08:36
- We never had CVSes in the area until a few years ago and then all of a sudden there were like a dozen around town. - Cuzzin Todd Nov 18, 08:22
- I am curious how they will decide where to close stores. Like, where they are too close to each other? Because people still need Rx. - ty97 Nov 18, 07:55 9
  - I have Walgreens, Rite Aid, and CVS in the neighborhood but the Kaiser clinic is closer than any of them so I pay them little attention. -- nm - Meg Nov 18, 08:19
  - There are 7 location within two miles of my house. I imagine a couple of those would go. There are 2 Walgreens. -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 07:57 4
    - Within 5 miles of my house, 5 CVS (2 in Targets) and 3 Walgreens. -- nm - zunk xometimes Nov 18, 08:11
    - yeah, I have 5 CVS to 2 Walgreens within a 15 mile radius of me -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:59 2
      - I guess the fact the Walgreens bought Duane Reade in NYC skews my perceptions. - ty97 Nov 18, 08:02 1
        
        CVS bought Hook's here decades ago so that might skew mine a little, but none of the current locations were around back then. -- (edited) - Ye Nov 18, 08:06
  - CVS ~ 10,000 locations. Walgreens ~ 9,200 locations -- nm - decline Nov 18, 07:57
  - To the IM, I AM wrong! - ty97 Nov 18, 07:57 1
    - I wonder if they count Target in-store locations? -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 07:58
- Local grocery chain recently switched the pharmacy to CVS so there are two across the street from each other. - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 18, 07:54
- I was in the CVS by my parents recently and 2-3 rows of merchandise had been replaced by a LARGE minute clinic section - ty97 Nov 18, 07:52 1
  - Given how crappy the service is at our family physician, for routine things, doesn't surprise me -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 08:01
- At least there is high demand for all that spare retail space they'll leave behind...... -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 07:51
- Opened up like 7-11 now closing like Sears -- nm - budice Nov 18, 07:51
