DC/Philly people. What can you tell me about these music venues: DC9 and PhilaMOCA -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:03 5
- I was at DC9 a week ago, happy to help - MDH Nov 29, 14:10 4
  - Wet Leg is there on March 11th. Tickets go on sale Friday. -- (link) - Dano Nov 29, 14:13 3
    - You going? Not sure how popular they are, but the venue is small so you may need to buy quick, depending. -- nm - MDH Nov 29, 14:15 2
      - If I can get tickets. The New York shows sold out very fast. -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:17 1
        
        Winnetka Bowling League is there this Friday. I would see them if I were local. -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:18
speaking of shopping, my coworker is hard pause on roku hardware right now because he thinks that this YTTV fight will linger. he thinks that the fire - amanda jeans Nov 29, 13:58 10
- I'd argue that the Android TV eco-system is the best one since it runs anything that's developed for phones. - Mop Nov 29, 14:18 1
  - I have the Chromecast with Android TV or whatever it's called. Very happy with it. - spamlet Nov 29, 14:26
- I'm looking at TVs. I have Fios for my "cable" and it seems like Fire TVs are more convenient with Fios than Roku tvs are. -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 14:08
- It's just a weird way of looking at things. It's not like Amazon and Google will get along forever. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 29, 14:04 3
  - It's not like you can get YTTV with the fire, either. -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 29, 14:08 2
    - this is a good data point. -- nm - amanda jeans Nov 29, 14:13
    - (Or at least I can't on my tablet without a jailbreak.) -- nm - Dark Callisto Nov 29, 14:08
- I have too much anxiety to have an opinion on this. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:03 1
  - (And I have too much anxiety to buy a smart TV) - Beryllium Nov 29, 14:05
- I mean it has for months. Have they settled on normal YT? - spamlet Nov 29, 14:03
"You may continue shopping and making changes to your order until 5:01pm". Great text to get at 4:55pm -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 13:56
Holy shit! Seager to Rangers too. 10/325 -- (edited) - spamlet Nov 29, 13:45 12

    - Articles I'm reading says you're going to package him plus a prospect (Waters? Pache? or one of your Catchers?) for something. -- nm - Strongbad Nov 29, 14:03 6
      - Oh no. Do the Braves need a closer? - spamlet Nov 29, 14:09
      - Yeah, here's the one I saw - Strongbad Nov 29, 14:04 4
        
        I'm not saying that person is drunk and/or an idiot, but Buxton said he was going to extend with Minnesota. The other day, he extended with Minnesota. - The Allfather Nov 29, 14:08 3
        
        Yeah the article was last week before the extension -- nm - Strongbad Nov 29, 14:09 1
        
        Even then, it would have been stupid. I can see us swallowing salary and adding a prospect to ditch him, but that was ridiculous. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 29, 14:15
        
        And he has a full no-trade per reports -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 14:08
- Damn! Thought he retired, also never knew Bob could pitch. -- nm - VMan Nov 29, 13:46
I was scrolling through thinking 'this is nice' and then let out an audible 'nnnooo' at one point -- (link) - ty97 Nov 29, 13:44 1

Do you apply it directly to the forehead? -- (link) - Todd Manning Nov 29, 13:34 [Backboard] 1
- ZocDoc! -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 13:43
CDC: If you're waiting to get boosted, go ahead and do it asap...CDC says -- (link) - Remlik Nov 29, 13:30 2
- Week from today. -- nm - znufrii Nov 29, 13:37
- That's such a CDC things to say. (I mean: listen to them obviously) - ty97 Nov 29, 13:33
This weekend I'm going to take all my writing for this month and slam it together in a doc so I can word count it. How many words does ST guess? - Beryllium Nov 29, 13:14 6

- How do we feel about the name Chaise? -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 13:01 3
  - Longue cat is longue. -- nm - Reagen Nov 29, 13:04
  - 👍👍👍 -- nm - prayformojo Nov 29, 13:03 1
    - The only problem is that I can hear the pretentious conversations already. "It's Chaaaaaaaze, not Chase" -- nm - Dano Nov 29, 13:41
- BADSPAWNBADSPAWNBADSPAWN - Spawn Nov 29, 12:57
- Aww, look at that face -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 12:51
Should I click? -- (pic) - Spawn Nov 29, 12:42 [Attachment] 4
- Seems legit. Look at the accuracy of the amount. -- nm - VMan Nov 29, 13:43
- But if you claim money you're not really entitled to then you'll be really sticking it to the man -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 29, 13:00
- yes. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 29, 12:49
- NO! -- nm - mud Nov 29, 12:48
Ray to the Mariners. 5/115 with opt out -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 12:28 7
- It's a shame. -- nm - Todd Manning Nov 29, 13:35
- Peter, Egon had no comment -- nm - budice Nov 29, 13:02
- He’s going to do so bad there. They can’t keep pitching healthy or developed. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 29, 12:41 3
  - I dunno. Big park helps neutralize his only real weakness of the HR ball. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 13:01 2
    - Toronto fixed him just like San Fran fixed Gausman. Those guys leaving is scary. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 29, 13:14 1
      - I just know I like Gausman minus $5M minus the opt-out plus a draft pick better than Ray, who I otherwise quite enjoyed having on the team. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 29, 13:55
- *WHISTLES* -- nm - NY Yankees Nov 29, 12:32
I would like to order two please -- (link) - Jovian Nov 29, 12:25

  - Here's my monthly HOA fee breakdown - Max Nov 29, 13:43 3
    - whoa/interesting -- nm - prayformojo Nov 29, 13:48 2
      - I've been able to keep annual increases below 2% average over the last five years and probably will be able to continue that indefinitely. - Max Nov 29, 13:50 1
        
        very interesting. thanks! -- nm - prayformojo Nov 29, 14:49

- That kitchen has got me claustrophobic. What the hell is that shower doing next to the sink. What is this?? -- nm - Pippy Nov 29, 12:19 4
  - That kitchen has so much counter space, it's great! -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 12:20 3
    - 1 chef allowed at a time -- nm - Pippy Nov 29, 12:21 2
      - It's actually a rather nice place. I'm not joking. -- nm - ty97 Nov 29, 12:22 1
        
        I mean that living room could fit at least 2 couches! -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 29, 12:49
- But it has a Miele dishwasher, ty! -- nm - loosilu Nov 29, 12:15 1
  - The building also apparently had pretty bad finances overall a when a friend was looking several years back - ty97 Nov 29, 12:16
Former FBI Director James Comey’s daughter is a lead prosecutor in Ghislaine Maxwell’s child sex trafficking case -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 29, 12:07 2

  - Right? -- nm - MDH Nov 29, 12:09

  - cue the Curb your Enthusiasm music. -- nm - Remlik Nov 29, 13:01

Beaker, people here aren't really on the ball for pre-ordering Spider-Man tickets. Here's the seat map for the 10pm 3D showing on the 16th. -- (pic) - Shaun Nov 29, 11:30 [Attachment] 5
- Seeing a movie in 3D in 2021...now it's confirmed ya'll are out of your minds. -- nm - MDH Nov 29, 11:55 1

To correct a dangerous misconception from a backboard: long haul Covid sufferers do not have active Covid infections and are not incubating mutations. -- nm - Reagen Nov 29, 11:24 7
- ... that we know of. -- nm - Spawn Nov 29, 11:25 6
  - If you have Covid, you test positive. If Covid fucked up your organs and you're still recovering, that's just what it did to you -- nm - Reagen Nov 29, 11:30 5
    - Right-o. Then ten dollar medical word for this is sequelae. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 29, 11:34
    - spoiler - Spawn Nov 29, 11:31 3
      - ok, there is a difference btw those suffering long term effects, even organ failure...and those who are infected for months n months -- nm - don't know the name of that 2nd group Nov 29, 11:40 2

B2: Best team in the NFC? Arizona? GB? TB? - Beaker Nov 29, 11:14 5
- When healthy, Arizona is the only great team in the NFL. The AFC's best team is Cincy, but Inigo's right that they'll probably lose now. -- nm - The Allfather Nov 29, 12:22 1
  - Cinci is a year away, IMO—inconsistent defense -- nm - flavoriz Nov 29, 14:54
- It's insane how much of the NFC still has a chance at the playoffs. Only Detroit is out of it. -- nm - Cowboy BeBaron Nov 29, 11:53 1
  - 6 of 16 teams above .500... AFC is 12 of 16 .500 or better -- nm* - Beaker Nov 29, 11:55
- Will had a great point about KC for AFC’s best—NFC, I have the Cards, but hype is around GB and an almost “certain” SB run — -- nm - flavoriz Nov 29, 11:49

  - Nitro Pro -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 12:28 2
    - *barf* - znufrii Nov 29, 12:29 1
      - I have special permission to use Adobe *Reader* because only it works with government forms but I need Nitro to edit. -- nm - spamlet Nov 29, 12:39
- umm, thats a windows issue I think, I have that with a couple of expensive programs we use for data analytics. -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 29, 11:17 1
