  - That's not what she said -- nm - JD Feb 17, 12:38

CDC: US has surpassed 1m excess deaths due to impact of Covid pandemic -- (link) - znufrii Feb 17, 12:03 1

- But Biff's lawyer told us that he is a member of a "protected class."! -- nm - Jovian Feb 17, 12:09
- I will let you pick which two, though. -- nm - Judge Feb 17, 12:02 7
  - Barron and Tiffany completely unaware of accounting practice malfeasance. Total Innocence! -- nm - small red canid news Feb 17, 12:05 6
    - It would be funny if Barron whipped out a briefcase, and as he towered over the rest of the court, released every family secret ever. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 12:12 5
      - Barron is like the Cousin Greg of the Trump family. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 12:21 1
        
        or Cousin Oliver -- nm - crash davis Feb 17, 12:22
      - I’d watch that season finale. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 12:18

Dear USA Network: thanks for starting the USA men's curling match in the 10th end. - David Feb 17, 11:57 2
- My friends think I am nuts with the amount of Curling I have told them I have watched. -- nm - Jovian Feb 17, 12:07

More fallout from the fixed F1 Championship, F1 has fired/removed Michael Masi as Race Director. Hamilton still silent on whether he returns -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 11:21 8
- This is breaking a day after BBC reported multiple sponsors told F1 they will leave unless Masi is fired. And some wanted the title vacated. -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 11:35
- So he bungled the last race so badly by not following rules to get fired but the appeals saw no validity? -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 17, 11:26 3
  - "While Masi's actions were justified by the FIA stewards following a Mercedes team appeal, F1's governing body lodged a full review ..." -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 12:17
  - "Masi failed to correctly apply the rules in a late safety car period and had a direct impact on the outcome of the title race." = Fired. -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 11:28 1
    - Everyone knew appeals would never turn it over. F1 wanted Max to win, he's the future, and they couldn't take that back. -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 11:29
- Is this favorable news? Is F1 admitting bad stuff happened? -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 11:23 2
  - My take is that it's a disciplinary action disguised as a promotion. Or vice versa. Masi was due to move up in the FIA organization anyway. -- (edited) - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 12:06
  - Very favorable. F1 is in damage control since their best driver, and only black one, might walk away since he had the championship stolen from him. -- nm - MDH Feb 17, 11:27

You wanna throw me under the bus to the next three levels of management? Better make sure I don’t have receipts. - spamlet Feb 17, 10:45 11
- Niiiiiiice. -- nm - Tim Feb 17, 15:24
- Same, same. - Dark Callisto Feb 17, 12:39
- You prolly have back up receipts too. You know, juuuust in case. -- nm - Qale Feb 17, 11:17
- I wish I could find the graph picture on "Reasons why I sent this email to you". - Beaker Feb 17, 11:08 1
  - that one is good. also reminds me of this. (bit of profanity warning) (nm but) -- (link) - i.b.! Feb 17, 11:29

- Now I'm concerned that you haven't vacuumed your couch in over a decade. - Krusty Feb 17, 10:30 2
  - A valid concern. - zunk xometimes Feb 17, 10:37 1

Whoa! Peacemaker--avoid spoilers for this episode. If you want to know (HUGE spoilers) - Flavorize Feb 17, 10:11
DTL: 45 free throw attempts has got to be some kind of damn record. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 17, 09:58 3
- I saw the "45" and "free throws" and thought, "Trump shoots hoops?" -- nm - Inigo Feb 17, 10:00 2
  - Yes, and he's fixing the games. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 17, 10:53 1

    - yeah right? -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 17, 09:52

3/6 (first time I've done better than 4 or 5 in a while) - ReluctantCynic Feb 17, 09:28 2
- I got it in 6, should have had it in at least 4. But I was misled by commentary here. - Qale Feb 17, 10:41
- If I was a better guesser to what the 4th letter was I could've had it in 3. I like these less than the double-letter ones, when it's just a guess. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 17, 09:44
Federal return filed. Just waiting on state because NC is borked and not accepting D-400 through Turbo Tax yet. - sycor Feb 17, 09:23 3

    - Sounds like a good popcorn flick. -- nm - sycor Feb 17, 09:54

Fwiw, I think a second booster recommendation right now would be a really hard sell when cases are on such a significant downward swing. - znufrii Feb 17, 09:09 12
- everything is great! why would we take precautions to ensure it remains so? -- nm - amanda jeans Feb 17, 09:48
- Also, globally there needs to be a cheap one or two shot vaccine that can be distributed in poorer countries. - Inigo Feb 17, 09:13
- *shrugs* A lot of people would be there Day 1. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:13 9

  - me and mine -- nm - Beaker Feb 17, 09:15 1
    - When four family members recently get it within 4 weeks (3 isolated events) I fully expect it is at least partially due to boosters wearing off. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:18
  - And I’d be one of them, I’m sure. -- nm - znufrii Feb 17, 09:14 2
    - Most of ST, I would expect. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:16 1

- Russia has to be put on an Olympic time out for the next cycle or so. I mean, they just can't have this. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 09:22 9
  - Weren't they already? Isn't that why they are not "Russia"? -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:23 8
    - They should be flat barred for a cycle. They’ve not been ”Russia” at least 2-3 times in the last decade. - Will Hunting Feb 17, 09:37 3
      - This. No Russian athletes in Summer or Winter games. They're incapable of not being corrupt. -- nm - Diva Feb 17, 09:50 2
        
        Yep. Though Putin will just invade Ukraine and move all the athletes there. -- nm - pmb Feb 17, 09:51 1
        
        All-Drug Olympics 2! -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 10:08
    - I mean actually not having any of their athletes there at all - clean or not. Some consider it the marquee event of the Winter Games. - Diva Feb 17, 09:32 1
      - Yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 09:44
    - That barely qualified as a slap on the wrist with a wet bus ticket. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 17, 09:26
    - super secret Olympic timeout, then! -- nm - prayformojo Feb 17, 09:25
- Wow. That's from the broadcast. I bet the Russians make sure it never sees a replay. -- nm - Mop Feb 17, 09:20
Get on with it. -- nm - Spawn Feb 17, 09:03
