      - I do enjoy the Screwball peanut butter flavored. -- nm - sycor Dec 14, 14:58
    - It's so damn good. I drink like twice a year and when I was gifted a bottle I finished it all in a night. I love root beer and it had a great taste - Krusty Dec 14, 14:24 3
      - I don't think I've ever even seen it. Brand? -- nm - sycor Dec 14, 14:37 2
        
        I believe it was called Rebel Yell -- nm - Krusty Dec 14, 14:54 1
        
        I'll look for it. Thanks! -- nm - sycor Dec 14, 14:58
  - I not sure why you are reluctant to give him something he really would like. Gifts are for the recipient... -- nm* - Candie Cane Dec 14, 14:03 4
    - I'm happy to give him the whisky but I want to give him something else as well. I feel like it's not enough. -- nm - Krusty Dec 14, 14:15 3
      - Scotch? - Spawn with an accent Dec 14, 14:17 2

- dollar stores dude -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 14, 13:32 6
  - A chunk of that is smart plugs for the echo dots I am getting for Amy, Logan and myself. Plus, it git whittled down to a little over $100 due to delivery times being too long. -- nm* - Spawnta Dec 14, 13:58 5
    - why do you need smart plugs for echo dots? like don't you want them always on? asking as a person who lets six google homes run their life. -- nm - amanda jeans Dec 14, 14:14 4
      - So the dot can turn things in plugs off an on. Mainly lights. Like, the family room light you have to go to the back of the room to turn off and on. - Spawnta Dec 14, 14:22 3
        
        And I guess when Amy is getting up with Logan she can tell them to turn Logan's light on to make sure he is getting up. - Spawnta Dec 14, 14:24 2
        
        Tech question: Can he program the light to turn off? -- nm - loosilu who Dec 14, 14:36
        
        Hell, I might use it to turn on the light as part of my wake up alarm, too. This could get "fun". - Spawnta Dec 14, 14:26

- Bah, disappointing. By "bugs" they mean microbes, not insects. -- nm - Ender Dec 14, 13:23 2
  - People in labs often refer to them as bugs. -- nm - loosilu who Dec 14, 13:50

Those huge flash mob smash and grab robberies? all loosely 'organized' by snapchat messages to complete strangers -- (link) - zeitgeist Dec 14, 12:50 14
- If police were to stage these would that be entrapment or some such? -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 13:28 8
  - If they did that, rounded a bunch of assholes and made them spend the weekend in jail, fine, the publicity would make thousands think again - zeitgeist Dec 14, 13:35
  - no, in the same way that buying drugs from an undercover cop isn't. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 13:34 6
    - mmmmm? I'd want a lawyer's input here. If the cops put out the snapchat with the date and time..... - ty97 Dec 14, 13:47 1
      - "Hey everybody, let's go commit crimes here at this time!" - and you do it, you still had the mens rea to steal stuff - Reagen Dec 14, 14:13
    - hey, let's go do some crimes -- nm - Duke Dec 14, 13:38
    - What about when cops induce people to commit terrorist acts, as happened in BC a few years ago? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 13:36 2
      - In that case, the RCMP basically showed them how to do something they never would have been able to otherwise. -- nm - Reagen Dec 14, 14:15
      - If they have to persuade the people to commit the crime that's very likely entrapment. If they wouldn't have committed the crime without being - Krusty Dec 14, 14:00
- is there dancing? -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 14, 12:51 4
  - Flash mobs were WAY more fun with dancing. -- nm - Candie Cane Dec 14, 12:51 3
    - If the robbers would *dance* while they smashed and grabbed, police might not even get called! -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 13:27 1

Dear Amazon, When one clicks on your catagory called "Stocking Stuffers", one does not want to see such items as camcorders. - Spawnta Dec 14, 12:43 7

$617. Not great, not terrible. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 12:25 10
- Yeah, that is a good amount actually. -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 12:28 8
  - We also got a quote for replacing the motor. That was a hilarious price, but we might go for it just for fun. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 12:31 7
    - I really want a garage door opener. it seems such a luxury - amanda jeans Dec 14, 12:56
    - What brand is your opener? I assume it is a smart one? -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 12:32 5
      - The current one is from the 1990s -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 12:51 4
        
        So it would be a whole opener replacement. Too smart for its own good. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 12:51 3
        
        Whoa. Replace that shit. -- nm - Spawnta Dec 14, 13:25 2
        
        It's on the list for next year. Quote we got came in at more than the gaming PC I just built. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 13:34 1
