in a just world, A.C. Newman would have a reputation up there with Brian Wilson for song-craft. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 09:23 4
- Thank you for your interest, young man. Love A.C. -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 09:26
- Instead I googled him to find out who he is. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 09:24 2
  - It's a given that the world isn't just. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 09:25 1
    - I know him as Carl. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 09:28
Another reason to hate Amazon -- (link) - znufrii, boosted Dec 9, 09:11 10
- While the story lends its focus to low income and minority areas, it’s not necessarily needed. Amazon is a boa constrictor regardless. - Qale Dec 9, 09:35
- BURN IT DOWN! -- nm - Mop Dec 9, 09:21 1
  - (after we get or Christmas stuff, though) -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 09:23
- The article talks about low income areaa, but many of the the houses in the picture have solar panels. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 09:16
- Warehouses have to be setup somewhere like stores. Not surprised they try to locate less-costly real estate for them. San Bernardino perfect example vs A-level Real Estate near Downtown LA -- nm* - budice Dec 9, 09:15 5
  - San Berdoo has a shut down military base with lots of warehouses, cheaper rents for displaced LA orange county residents -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 11:17
  - Call me naive, but wouldn't that result in a large number of jobs located nearby? - Baron Please Come Home Dec 9, 09:36 3
    - Some jobs. Warehousing isn't typically highly staffed. Also, more and more is automated. -- nm - VMan Dec 9, 09:38 2
      - Also, workers can come from anywhere because cars exist. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 9, 09:40 1
        
        Add to that, the infrastructure (roads) required to handle all the trucks means even easier access for cars. -- nm - VMan Dec 9, 09:44
Will Trevor Bauer ever throw another pitch in MLB? -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 09:05 2
- Unlike DeShaun Watson, its one case with some disputed facts. -- nm - budice Dec 9, 09:09
- I think some team will take him on because talent is talent (even overrated as he is) but he’ll never get a fair market value. - Will Hunting Dec 9, 09:07
Jeff Hardy released from WWE over incidents at weekend events and refusing rehab -- (link) - eag Dec 9, 08:59 7
- Welp, that’s one way to get out of a contract you don’t want to stick around for. Just keep getting stoned all the time. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 09:05 1
  - *taking notes* -- nm - Letitia Wright si Dec 9, 09:09
- Hopefully he can team up with his brother and they can get back to their true passion, solving mysteries. - Beryllium Dec 9, 09:03 4
  - Using the Machine of Mysteries… Yeeeeeeeessss…aaaaahhhh…. -- nm - Broken Matt Hardy Dec 9, 09:36 1
    - *chuckle* -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 9, 09:39
  - and punches to the solar plexus. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 09:03 1
    - Oh, right, I forgot about that commonality. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 09:08
Duggar found guilty of child porn. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:53 4
- Finally. -- nm - loosilu Dec 9, 08:55 3
  - Matt Gaetz still walks free -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 09:12 2
    - Sorry, I mean "glides on a mucus-like secretion of freedom" -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 09:14 1
      - Yeah, he does kind of look like an evil Slurms MacKenzie -- nm - Beryllium Dec 9, 09:16
Covers Channel just won the day by playing Fugees cover of Killing Me Softly -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 9, 08:41 2
- one time -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 09:12
- That song has a tendency to do that -- nm - con_carne Dec 9, 09:04
so if I am double dose moderna, does it matter what booster I get? -- nm - tRuMaN Dec 9, 08:40 6
- Israel and harvard say JnJ is a better 3rd to Mod -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 9, 10:26
- My gut feeling is that any difference is marginal at best, so I’d go with whichever you can get sooner. -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 9, 08:44 1
  - This is the correct answer. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 9, 08:47
- I keep hearing from boots on the ground that Moderna is better, but grain of salt. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:42 2
  - I hear mixing and matching is best (and Moderna in the mix is best). -- nm - pmb Dec 9, 08:56 1
    - I have heard enough doctors say that Moderna was the superior two-dose, that I believe it. But it is more difficult to quantify boosters plus original - Spawn Dec 9, 09:01

  - she just announced she is suspending her Gov campaign -- nm - Jovian Dec 9, 09:36
- Two words. "Executive" and "Privilege". We must protect our great country. -- nm - 45 Dec 9, 08:31
This guy does some excellent historical tracking of WWII naval battles. Three parter on Midway and his Pearl Harbour one is also excellent -- (link) - Beaker Dec 9, 08:28 [youtube]
new Guy Ritchie picture has interesting cast: -- (link) - mud Dec 9, 08:26 12
- Jason Statham must owe Guy a massive debt. -- nm - Mop Unleashed Dec 9, 08:37 2
  - No Guy Ritchie = no film career for Jason Statham, so... -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 08:46 1
    - Yes, it is the Kevin Smith... Ben Afflek paradigm. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:51
- Has Josh Harnett been in Cryno-freeze—haven’t seen him anywhere, for maybe 20 years and he looks the same -- nm - flavorize Dec 9, 08:30 8
  - There's a whole story behind it. He quite acting for years and just recently restarted -- (link) - decline Dec 9, 08:57 3
    - Ballsy. Stupid, but ballsy. - Beryllium Dec 9, 09:01 2
      - He preserved himself for this new age! -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 09:33
      - Exactly ... he could have been Hawkeye! -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 09:22
  - Must be something like that, yeah. Hollywood Homicide might be the most recent thing I saw him in. - Beryllium Dec 9, 08:54
  - Casting him as Hollywood's biggest star is going to test his his range. -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 08:46
  - Still sexy, too. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 9, 08:40

For the second time in my life, I think I'm suffering from severe caffeine withdrawal. There's only one way to fix this. Pot. - Mop Unleashed Dec 9, 08:23 2

  - Junkies, the lot of ya! - Spawn Dec 9, 08:29
Nike to stop selling at DSW in 2022 -- (link) - oblique Dec 9, 08:23 14
- As with Spawn, I have never heard of DSW. -- nm - Mop Unleashed Dec 10, 08:30
- They will be direct to consumer very soon. They're cutting out mom and pop shops as well as big retailers like Footlocker. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 09:28 2
  - Yeah. Honestly, I have probably bought my last 4 or 5 pair straight from them. - Dark Callisto Dec 9, 09:30 1
    - Yeah, those are not sold in many stores. It's fine when they're in stock but if they're not there's nowhere else to go most of the time. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 09:54
- This seems ill-advised -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 08:31 1
  - They don't need DSW as they only get returned items, B grade pairs and sneakers that don't sell. -- nm - Krusty Dec 9, 09:29
- ::googles DSW:: -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:26 6
  - I go there about once a year. Always find something I like for reasonable price. Often New Balance. -- nm - Baron Please Come Home Dec 9, 08:36 5
    - I go to DSW probably once a year, which is about how often I buy shoes. And I tend to buy Nike there. - ty97 Dec 9, 08:49
    - We have DSW Warehouses. Shoes only, though. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:43 3
      - Do you also use your PIN number when you visit the ATM machine? -- nm - znufrii, boosted Dec 9, 08:44 2
        
        heh -- nm - oblique Dec 9, 09:06
        
        I meant that the article said they would stop selling shoes and clothes, there. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:52

  - self inflicted -- nm - budice Dec 9, 08:04
The 2021 Greatest Albums of All Time list is getting serious. We have entered the top 30. -- (link) - Volnelk Dec 9, 07:47 6
- Looking at the year-by-year breakdown, either they just don’t make records like they used to, or there’s a clear era/genre bias among xpn listeners. :) -- nm* - znufrii, boosted Dec 9, 08:42 3
  - It's a very "Rolling Stone from 20 years ago" list -- nm - Roger More Dec 9, 08:51 2

DTL Recruiting Summary: 2 ties, 3 0/1 leads, 1 CL - Trader Vic Dec 9, 07:46 6
- I’m charitably fucked if I don’t win dice rolls. A 5/5 (10mr), a 6/6 (2mr), a 2/2 (24mr), a 5/5 (4mr)…and my net is 1 guy …1/2 against the #1 ranked - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:07
- My final status - Dano Dec 9, 08:03

  - I've used that strategy with decent success in past cycles -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 07:56 1

  - Did High Fidelity make it? Maybe they are limiting John Cussak? -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:55
- I was in college when Garden State came out. Goodness it was everywhere. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 08:08
- Not having Baby Driver on that list is a crime -- nm - decline Dec 9, 07:48
- It's hard out here for a pimp, indeed. I'd switch out Rushmore for Royal Tenenbaums. But it's not a bad list. -- nm* - Qale Dec 9, 07:44 1
  - Yeah, I'd say it's even decent. - Dark Callisto Dec 9, 08:52
People aged 14 and under in 2027 will never be allowed to purchase cigarettes in New Zealand -- (link) - Beaker Dec 9, 07:34 5
- Hold my beer. -- nm - Great Britain Dec 9, 10:22
- I feel stupid carding people for cigarettes. It's 21 now in the US, mind you. No one under 30 or so has ever bought any thus far. - Qale Dec 9, 07:40 2
  - heh, I got asked for ID buying beer a couple weeks ago -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 07:49 1
    - Masks make me ID more as does day of week and time of day. Also what else you're buying and who you are with. It's a complicated calculation. -- nm - Qale Dec 9, 07:50
- If there's one thing I've learned in life it's that prohibition always works. -- nm - spamlet Dec 9, 07:36
Townhouse once owned by Julia Child is for sale in DC for $3.5M (completely renovated and it's pretty gorgeous inside) -- (link) - decline Dec 9, 07:34 3
- I'm a bit surprised that it's that cheap? -- nm - ty97 Dec 9, 07:40 1
  - See comment below. Also it's right next to a bath path and a park with a swingset. Great for kids, not for people wanting a very quiet house. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 07:41
- It's side yard is flooded with every rain storm, and the city cannot figure out how to fix it. -- nm - MDH Dec 9, 07:35
Trooper helps deliver baby boy on shoulder of Tennessee highway -- (link) - budice Dec 9, 07:33 3

- The baby was then immediately confiscated -- nm - rollo Dec 9, 07:49 1
  - clearly a case of human smuggling. -- nm - Reagen Dec 9, 07:50
as of now, Hawkeye is my favorite of all the Disney + Marvel shows. -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:29 20
- It's so fun. I still love Loki the best, but that's just the Owen Wilson factor. -- nm - Dark Callisto Dec 9, 09:41
- Started it last night and watched 2 episodes. It's solid for sure. -- nm - Shaun Dec 9, 07:59
- I'll wait to the end to completely judge, but 6 episodes seems way too short. It doesn't feel 67% resolved at this point. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 07:50 4
  - That's... not how storytelling works! -- nm - Qale Dec 9, 07:51 3
    - Fair. Regardless, they are still introducing things. I'd just like 8 episodes. Maybe 10. -- nm - Volnelk Dec 9, 07:53 2
      - Yeah, I said similar after the first two episodes. We knew nothing after 1/3 of the show. That’s not good. -- nm - Will Hunting Dec 9, 08:10
      - Or 12. Or 30. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 08:04
- ... until the next one. -- nm - Spawn Dec 9, 07:45 11
  - hence, "as of now" - groiny Dec 9, 07:52 1
    - That made your post read like it will *always* be until the next one. - Spawn Dec 9, 07:55
  - If the next one is Moon Knight - eag Dec 9, 07:51 8
    - Read my mind. Moon Knight has the potential to be my favorite Marvel, period. - Spawn Dec 9, 07:54 7 1
      - you men White Batman? -- nm - groiny Dec 9, 07:55 6

        and powers -- nm - JD Dec 9, 08:16 1
        
        Depends on which version they go with. Current comic is not, just martial arts, etc. - Spawn Dec 9, 08:22
        
        he said Batman... -- nm - Beaker Dec 9, 08:00 1
        
        One with mental health issues that make him better, the other with mental health issues that do not. - Spawn Dec 9, 08:02
