- why wait till fall or are they coming out with a different shot? -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 18:51 2
  - My guess is that a significant amount of the effectiveness of a booster is due to its recency, so ideally, you'd want it immediately prior to an expected seasonal spike. -- nm* - znufrii Feb 19, 19:43
  - One year from the first booster? -- nm - Meg Feb 19, 19:38
Oof -- (link) - Reagen Feb 19, 17:27 3

- Worldle 4/6 -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 16:35
- Nathan is 2/2 on Worldle with answers in about 3 seconds total. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 19, 16:34 9
  - that is impressive, does he like perusing atlases and the such? -- nm - crash davis Feb 19, 16:37 3
    - He watches YouTube videos. And just memorizes. Our biggest challenge is making sure he’s watching appropriate YouTube videos. - Will Hunting Feb 19, 16:58 1
      - Epic Rap Battles of History are educational. -- nm - CinnaBaron Feb 19, 17:20

- call us when you get there so we know you made it OK -- nm - prayformojo Feb 19, 15:49
- too far for soda, not for a beer -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 15:24
It’s dropping to 17 degrees on Tuesday night. What the actual fuck?! -- nm - Mop Feb 19, 15:12 6
- I thought you were originally from Canada? - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 15:52 2
  - that could be *why* he's FROM canada -- nm - zeitgeist Feb 19, 16:02 1
    - So you're saying we should blame Canada? -- nm - ReluctantCynic Feb 19, 16:45
- Lol. 18 here tonight. 16 on Friday. -- nm - Spawn Feb 19, 15:27
- it went from +10C here yesterday around noon to -12C overnight. Some of the roads are literally ice - Beaker Feb 19, 15:22
- What the actual Fahrenheit? -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:15

    - I thought I had to join their secret club to get 20%, but looks like they just wanted my email address. Online coupon code received and redeemed! - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 15:45
- "why doesn't BB&B just cut prices by 20% cause no one goes there without a coupon" -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 15:19

Relevant to our interests: Investors alarmed as streaming services lose their magic touch -- (link) - znufrii Feb 19, 14:51 1

      - They're begging for it to be interesting. -- nm - Reagen Feb 19, 15:37
    - They've entered the public consciousness, and that is appalling. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 15:21
Well, that kinda sucked. - znufrii Feb 19, 14:39 2
- Have another whiskey -- nm - Dano Feb 19, 15:05 1

  - But totally not, right *wink* -- nm - spamlet Feb 19, 14:53 1
    - Actually I probably called it exactly that. I've never really understood why I'd have to do that if the novel is set in the real world. -- nm - Qale Feb 19, 15:06
- But at least the burgers and shakes are okay - Beryllium Feb 19, 14:27

Airportle 3/6 -- nm - ty97 Feb 19, 13:45
THEATRLE - Max Feb 19, 13:42 [Attachment]
Magic Arena: I'm having a bit of surprising success with a green/black graveyard tool box deck. It uses self-mill, recursion, and card selection. -- (edited) - Qale Feb 19, 13:38 2
- Interesting. -- nm - spamlet Feb 19, 15:23 1
  - Uh oh. Usually when someone says 'interesting' they really mean 'what the fuck is that garbage?' -- nm* - Qale Feb 19, 19:43
heh -- (link) - Reagen Feb 19, 13:35 2
- If the times wants blood, they can cover Fairy Creek. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 13:37

  - It's a holiday here too. Family Day. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 14:10 2
    - I was gonna say that sounds like a made up holiday, but then... they all are. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 15:43
    - (Well, the name and date vary by province) -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 14:11
I also realize that when Tom Cruise stops, Tom Holland should be his successor. It is *fun* to watch TH move. The line between him and stunt double is -- (edited) - Spawn Feb 19, 13:25 7
- One has charisma to be an action star (Cruise) and one does not. - MDH Feb 19, 13:29 6
  - not yet. Holland doesn't have the seasoning Cruise does. -- nm - Remlik Feb 19, 14:17 3
    - And I'd say Holland is well ahead of where Cruise was at the same point in their careers. - ReluctantCynic Feb 19, 15:03 2
      - Holland still looks like a boy. Cruise was a man. Spider-Man is an 18yr old kid at most. - Will Hunting Feb 19, 15:22 1
        
        My opinion evolved after Uncharted. -- nm* - Spawn Feb 19, 15:34
  - Cruise has intensity, energy, and talent. Holland has energy and talent, which likely means he can grow into intensity. -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 13:36 1
    - I'd rather watch Holland a million times over than watch nutjob Cruise in anything. - TWuG Feb 19, 13:52
Part of the point of streaming shows is to eschew the "traditional" television model right? So what's this "New episode available Friday" crap lately? - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 13:24 12
- It works. -- nm - Qale Feb 19, 13:46 1
  - That's my line. -- nm - Todd Howard Feb 19, 14:40
- Amazon has been a mix for a while at least. - the wrong element Feb 19, 13:31
- at least Vox Machina did a 3 at a time. -- nm - Beaker Feb 19, 13:28
- *laughs* -- nm - Disney+, HBOMax... Feb 19, 13:26
- Cadence is still king. -- nm - Max Feb 19, 13:26
- Streaming networks have been seemingly proving that it helps build legs for shows. - Beryllium Feb 19, 13:25 5
  - I think it totally helps a whole lot with people talking about shows. - i.b.! Feb 19, 13:41 1
    - I like what Amazon was doing with The Expanse, dropping three episodes and then releasing the rest weekly -- nm - Beryllium Feb 19, 13:47
  - I thought that weekly made sense for another reason. - the wrong element Feb 19, 13:39 2
    - Maybe but people willing to go to that much trouble are also willing to wait until all the eps are available, sign up for a month, binge and cancel. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Feb 19, 14:40
    - a mix - I’ve gathered a lot of people subscribe to binge watch shows after they’re done or at least have entire seasons ready to watch. — nm - i.b.! Feb 19, 13:44
helicopter crash at Miami beach -- (link) - Beaker Feb 19, 13:14 3
