  - Yeah. They have a rooftop restaurant now that we could have booked but I wasn't a big fan of the menu. The game room they have now looks like a ton - oblique Jan 21, 07:14

        I used so many on Hawaii, it hurt my hear to use that many points. - ty97 Jan 21, 07:16 2

    - There were so many rollovers and promotions for 2021 that I have statuses all over the place. -- (edited) - ty97 Jan 21, 07:04 1

  - I was an English minor so 100% would have chosen BA but it wasn’t an option. - spamlet Jan 21, 06:40
- BS. They didn’t do a BA program for accountancy - spamlet Jan 21, 06:08 8
  - Mine is a BBA -- nm - ty97 Jan 21, 07:01 1
    - Is this a poll? - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 21, 07:07
  - heh. thanks. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 21, 06:10
  - Though artisanal accounting is a market segment that could take off. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 06:10 4

Nielsen released ratings for all of 2021. Luca was the top movie overall. Lucifer was the top show. - Inigo Jan 21, 06:07 10
- There's not much in life I trust less than Netflix's Top 10 and trending recommendations -- nm - Roger More Jan 21, 06:19 1
  - I think there's too many people internally and externally at Netflix that would call them out for putting out false data. - Inigo Jan 21, 06:32
- I mean that's how ratings have been done since time immemorial - Reagen Jan 21, 06:14 5
  - Problem is they can't sample well. They've always just had to take whoever would accept Nielsen's terms and Nielsen's equipment into their house. -- (edited) - Inigo Jan 21, 06:26 4
    - And if you're not there to watch it, Punky Brewster gets canceled. - Baron Enero Jan 21, 06:31 3

      - Yeah the new Punky was cancelled. I was sad. - sycor Jan 21, 06:57
      - Yes. This has a spot in my brain for no good reason. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 06:37

  - There's a Simpsons joke I think about a lot where Homer is presenting the Cable Ace awards -- (edited) - Reagen Jan 21, 06:17
LOL! Staged? -- (link) - Mop Jan 21, 05:55 3
- That’s unacceptable in any case. I don’t think I’ve seen a place not work hard to keep main stairs cleared like that. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 06:04 2
  - I remember slipping on those exact stairs as a teenager. The person looked like they were doing their Mr. Bean impression, though. -- nm - Inigo Jan 21, 06:10 1
    - Oh yeah, it’s a fake … they can’t even walk in snow shoes in the parking lot at the end of the shot. - Will Hunting Jan 21, 06:12
1) there's no way this tastes good 2) stores should just refuse to make this 3) the milk mix is insanely obnoxious - Reagen Jan 21, 05:46 9
- No one’s drinking this. This is someone pressing every button in the app to see if they could. That’s why there’s “12” of everything. - Mop Jan 21, 06:47

- And... that's here in Knoxville. - Dark Callisto Jan 21, 06:02
- yuk -- nm - mud Jan 21, 05:49 3
  - Into a decaf plain ass blend! +Assuming you can even get any coffee into that. -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 05:58 2

      - It's half a step above the train horn in the drive thru people - Reagen Jan 21, 06:03
I’m at Union Station in DC, and the March for Life kids are all arriving. I have yet to see one female. -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 05:45 1
- I think my out-laws still go to this every year. So, that's at least 3 women somewhere in there. -- nm* - Inigo Jan 21, 05:48
This story, while concerning on the merits, is also hilariously obvious that it was planted by the dude’s senate campaign. -- (link*) - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 21, 05:42 2
- Tactical Rabbit. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 21, 06:01 1
  - I swear we’re living through scripts rejected from the Scandal writers room for implausibility sometimes. -- (edited) - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 21, 06:44
For my whiskey peeps. Did you know there is an orange Jameson? It's not bad. Tastes kind of like Sunkist. -- nm - sycor Jan 21, 05:42 3
- I saw a blackberry whiskey in the store. not a whiskey purpose. didnt know flavors were becoming a thing. -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 21, 06:18 2
  - There’s one flavored whiskey that I like, the rest can go hang. -- (link*) - znufrii, exceeded expectations Jan 21, 06:21
  - "earthy" flavors like maple and peanut butter have been a thing for a while - Reagen Jan 21, 06:19
My sister's dog Freddy is staying with me and last night he growled every time Theresa snored. Between the snoring and his growling I had a bad - Krusty Jan 21, 05:25 1
- That sucks -- nm - SyrDragon Jan 21, 07:58
70% of inflation last year was from cars, oil and meat -- (link) - Reagen Jan 21, 05:17
LOL. Penny Hardaway losing his mind. -- (link) - Strongbad Jan 21, 04:27 9
- I mean that's not a great question. "Tell me why you suck." -- nm - Reagen Jan 21, 05:01
- He'll eventually have to resign for NCAA violations so he shouldn't get so worked up about these questions. - Krusty Jan 21, 04:38 7
  - You think? LSU guy is still there. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 21, 05:30 2
    - I'm half joking but I do think he's broken the rules in his recruiting. - Krusty Jan 21, 05:52 1
      - Your IM, yes. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 21, 06:15
  - Heh. -- nm - MDH Jan 21, 04:52
  - I mean, an arbiter basically said UConn couldn’t fire Kevin Ollie because he cheated. They had to wait for the NCAA so Penny gettin’ paid. -- nm* - Will Hunting Jan 21, 04:51 2
    - I read that earlier and that sounds like a crazy ruling by the arbitrator but I don't know the details of it all beyond what I read. - Krusty Jan 21, 05:01 1
      - It's all wrapped up in union rules, etc. From what I could glean UConn was suppose to wait until the NCAA completed its investigation before firing - Baron Enero Jan 21, 06:28
