  - My local Theater is a Cinemark(Century) Theater which offers a nicer/cleaner experience than AMCs nearby. AMCs seem to really suck in people here. -- (edited) - budice Apr 12, 07:25 1

Boris is going to be fined for having Covid parties. My faith in justice is restored. -- nm* - colin Apr 12, 06:09 5
- Why, is he going to resign for lying to Parliament? -- nm - LMS Apr 12, 06:32 4

    - If they can't get him for the other stuff might as well get him on having nibbles. -- nm - LMS Apr 12, 07:11 1

    - IIRC the purchase limit is 10k per calendar year + up to 5k from tax refund. -- nm - Baruno Apr 12, 06:32 7
      - 10k per person (if I read it right). So I will get 10 and my wife will get 10 -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 06:33 6
        
        Oh, that's right. Some people have spouses. I sit corrected. -- nm - Baruno Apr 12, 06:37 1

        Is there any prep work I need to do? Like is there a verification service I have to go through on the Treasury website that would be best to do now? -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 06:37 1
        
        Nothing that takes any time. Account setup is pretty easy, just need to provide a drivers license number along with your SSN. -- nm - znufrii Apr 12, 06:39
        
        Yup -- nm - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 12, 06:33

my tasting notes on Australian whisky: as ever, not worth the price. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 05:52 6
- Did they forget to let it age? -- nm - colin Apr 12, 06:01 5
  - no age statement on this one, so yeah, that's certainly part of it. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 06:02 4
    - Blends are almost always disgusting. Reputable whiskey makers have started releasing those, I assume just to cash in on the name. -- nm - colin Apr 12, 06:08 3
      - rude - Johnny Blue Apr 12, 06:21 2
        
        fine, i'll give you that some of the classic blends are good. it's the new ones that seem lazy. - colin Apr 12, 06:53 1
        
        you are not wrong. it's a trend I don't like. lots of bottles in my local store now that are mysterious 'special releases'. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 07:00
LYC: Forgot to mention yesterday that I was driving past a Kia dealership on Friday on our way to Milwaukee and stopped briefly to see an EV6 that - oblique Apr 12, 05:47 7
- It does have an interesting look. It's not car and not an SUV. Seems more companies are making vehicles like this. -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 05:57
- Minor pet peeve: wheelbase is the distance between the front wheels and back wheels. The track is the distance between the left and right wheel. - Krusty Apr 12, 05:55 5
  - TIL! :) -- nm - oblique Apr 12, 05:56 1
    - :-) - Krusty Apr 12, 06:00
  - big words for a guy who doesn't drive! -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 05:55 2

  - yeah, I'm 30% of the way from Labor to Green. I'll probably vote Labor house, Green senate. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 06:15
- Greens 82%. I did the best I could but did a lot of skipping at the end as I don't know the people they were asking about. -- (edited) - Krusty Apr 12, 05:52 3
  - yeah, I don't think those questions make a difference. I think information gathering for the site. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 05:55 2
    - I Googled a few things like the one about raising the Sunday fee. 200% extra for working Sundays? I'd work every weekend! ;-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 12, 06:02 1
      - and going up! but only if you're on an hourly wage, and in certain industries. this country has generally good laws for employees. -- nm - mafic Apr 12, 06:10
