The lead females on FBI and FBI International did things that were without question fireable offenses on this week’s episode. Who is writing these? -- nm - MDH Nov 18, 15:40
If you want a wake-up call to catch the eclipse, leave your number here - prayformojo Nov 18, 15:17
Now playing: Red Notice - prayformojo Nov 18, 15:15 3
- One thing I really liked about Red Notice was the textures on the text titles. - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:17 2
  - You always notice those text things…good 👁 for that type of stuff -- nm - flavorize Nov 18, 15:29
  - I've noticed that, too -- nm - prayformojo Nov 18, 15:28
Congrats to Krusty!!!!! - ty97 Nov 18, 14:54 5
- Thank you! -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 15:00 4
  - Sooo... good news #2? - Strongbad Nov 18, 15:38 3
    - Well, hot damn ... - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 15:45
    - Everything is coming up ST today! Congrats! -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 15:40
    - Nice! -- nm - The Allfather Nov 18, 15:39
Build Back Better coming up for vote tonight -- (link) - TWuG Nov 18, 14:48 17
- This is separate from the infrastructure bill? -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 14:54 16
  - I’m not sure if you’re serious but yes. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 14:58 15
    - I am. Follow up question: Does this still need to go to the Senate for a vote? -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 14:59 14
      - Yes -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 15:00 13
        
        And -- (link) - ty97 Nov 18, 15:01 12
        
        Decreases the deficit by $127B -- nm - Volnelk Nov 18, 15:06 11
        
        not sure of your source for that number, CBO website says BBB will increase the deficit by $367 billion, cumulatively, over ten years -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 18, 15:16 10
        
        Which realistically is a rounding error in the budget. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 15:24 5
        
        not quite that small. Quick and dirty I figure it's about 0.6% of total annual federal spending (~$6.0t), or about 5% of non-defense discretionary spending (~$700b). -- nm* - znufrii Nov 18, 15:29 4
        
        I would consider .6% essentially a rounding error (especially at these numbers). -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 15:48
        
        (again, not including the IRS enforcement revenue) -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 15:37 2
        
        Which I think CBO is banned from including for some reason. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 15:40 1
        
        "...under guidelines agreed to by the legislative and executive branches..." - znufrii Nov 18, 15:43
        
        But what's in it for ME?! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 15:21 3
        
        I can find the multi-thousand page bill again if you want to read it. -- nm - spamlet Nov 18, 15:36
        
        Only direct positive for me, as far as I am aware so far, is the extension of the enhanced child tax credit. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 15:24 1
        
        I don't qualify, so I don't like it, and I want it to burn! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 15:29
So, yeah, the Russians blew up one of their own satellites with a missile. The resulting debris cloud will cause problems in prime - TWuG Nov 18, 14:37

  - I loved this quote. - Marlowe Nov 18, 15:01
- He and PTA are useless to me, but I’m glad you liked it -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 14:19 6
  - 100% agree. -- nm - MDH Nov 18, 14:44
  - I love PTA a bit less, but their movies are automatic Top 5 of the "Want to See This Film" List every time there is one. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 18, 14:22 4
    - And you get one from each this year! -- nm - Dano Nov 18, 14:57 1
      - Yep. Well, "Licorice Pizza" releases here late in January, if things go according to plan. But still. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 18, 15:02
    - Same here. I may not end up liking a film but I will always watch what they make. -- nm - Krusty Nov 18, 14:29 1
      - Some of Anderson’s films are more mainstream. This…is not one of those. - spamlet Nov 18, 15:30
So, I assume that that f-100 Elluminator has a lot of lights. -- nm - . Nov 18, 14:09
10 people were injured in the base gas explosion -- (link) - Beryllium Nov 18, 13:57
I just finished up Disco Elysium: Final Cut on Xbox One last night. Mannnn, that may be the most original title Ive played in 20 years. I loved it. -- (link) - Jovian Nov 18, 13:54 4
- Were you an absolute disaster of a human being? -- nm - Spawn Nov 18, 13:55 3
  - no, not completely. But I did booze up and do drugs often with a propensity of having in depth discussions with inanimate objects - Jovian Nov 18, 13:58 2
    - and some of the wackiest and coolest skill names ever too: Visual Calculus, Inland Empire, Shivers, Physical Instrument, etc - Jovian Nov 18, 14:05 1

- The Keith Richards Toke Bag should've been a hint. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 18, 13:50
This clown.... -- (link) - Samara Nov 18, 13:36 7
- Bucs deny—but, it would be entirely on brand for AB -- (pic) - flavorize Nov 18, 14:52 [Attachment]
- Watch the NFL destroy him while Qaaron Rogers laughs -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 13:45 4
  - But... why? What could possibly be the difference? -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 14:58 1
    - It's a mystery! -- nm - Beryllium Nov 18, 15:20
  - Oh, he will get a $3 trillion fine and a lifetime suspension of playing even Madden naked in his sofa, for sure. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 18, 14:51
  - yup -- nm - Remlik Nov 18, 13:46

- is she going to another local practice? I followed my cardiologist thru 3 job changes so far. -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 13:46 1
  - nevermind. I saw the question below after I sent this -- nm - Peglegpete Nov 18, 13:47
