"And the people who know better are afraid to act correctly because they know they'll be primaried," -- (link) - mud Apr 22, 11:38
Awww, Olivia Benson's kiddo Noah said he was bi. That's cute. And woke. So guess Peacock's gotta go broke now. -- nm - Qale Apr 22, 11:32 2
- Do people legitimately say "I am woke"? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:37 1
  - I have woken. -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 11:38
ST Poll — last time you rode a ferry? - znufrii Apr 22, 11:28 25
- we have a few small islands accessible only by ferry, so once a year or so I take one for a wedding...once to the 'commitment center for sex predators - zeitgeist Apr 22, 18:44
- last year....only to a small local island but it counts -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 22, 11:51
- Last summer. I have a reservation for June to the San Juans. -- nm - psilotum Apr 22, 11:51
- probably '98 on the Newfoundland ferry -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 11:42 1
  - I took the ferry to Newfoundland in '87. -- nm - psilotum Apr 22, 11:51
- If Maid of the Mist counts then that one about 10 years ago - decline Apr 22, 11:41
- And like 7-ish years ago I probably too the ferry (it counts!) between Toronto City Island Airport and the mainland - ty97 Apr 22, 11:38
- When I did my Pacific Coast Highway road trip years back, took a ferry out of Seattle. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 22, 11:36 4
  - Which ferry? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:37 3
    - The big one... that goes in the water... - Cuzzin Todd Apr 22, 11:40
    - the one out of Seattle, probably -- nm - decline Apr 22, 11:40 1
      - There are like three different kinds. Maybe more. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:40
- Local ferry near my mom's in 2020. (Glenora Ferry). -- nm - Andie Apr 22, 11:35
- March. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:34
- I had to take the SI ferry a few times last year. Quick ride and a nice view. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 11:34
- Staten Island Ferry 9 years ago tomorrow, I guess. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 22, 11:34 2
  - No, wait, I must have taken the WaterTaxi to Brooklyn a couple of times after that, if it counts. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 22, 11:37 1
    - That counts. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 11:39
- Please stop reminding me of my lack of sex life. -- nm - Qale Apr 22, 11:32 3
  - This. This is funny. -- nm - Baruno Apr 22, 11:39
  - I…don’t even want to know. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 11:33 1
    - That's just it. There's nothing to know! -- nm - Qale Apr 22, 12:08
- I rode the SI Ferry in 2019 probably? Maybe it was 2018? -- nm - ty97 Apr 22, 11:32
- Staten Island Ferry to see Statue of Liberty, five (?) Christmases ago. -- nm - spamlet Apr 22, 11:29

Disneyland - MSEP - Elliott Popcorn Bucket and Sipper already Sold Out -- (link) - budice Apr 22, 11:19
More pizza fakery from GMA. For God's sake, don't look, Krusty. - Baruno Apr 22, 11:07 19
- I love pickles....I love pizza. The two are NOT meant to be combined!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 22, 11:47
- Nasty. And not because it's sacrilegious as a pizza (put whatever you want on your pizza) but because dill/pickles are disgusting. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 22, 11:39
- I can't unsee that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 11:19
- 350F? That's amateur hour BS. Side note: I'm making pizzas for supper. Yes. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 11:10 12
  - musta meant 450, anything less is mental. -- nm - mud Apr 22, 11:12 10
    - 450 for 12-15 minutes on a pizza stone works well for me. If we’re doing more toppings we’ll pre-bake the crust. -- (edited) - znufrii Apr 22, 11:17 1
      - I do 450 with both a stone and a steel with one above the other to trap the heat a bit. The dream is an outdoor oven that can get much hotter. -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 11:19
    - 25 to 30 mins...350F sounds right. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 11:15 7
      - From what I know you want to get the oven as hot as possible. I wish I could get my oven to be hotter than 450F. - Krusty Apr 22, 11:18 6
        
        I use 550F usually. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 11:39
        
        You know why they're doing it. Too hot would destroy the pickles. -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 11:20 4
        
        "You cannot kill me in a way that matters." -- nm - Mushrooms on pizza Apr 22, 11:22
        
        I took the warning seriously and didn't click the post. I'm just talking about a normal pizza that normal people eat and enjoy. :-) -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 11:21 1
        
        now you know the reasoh for the warning! -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 11:25
        
        *throws up in his mouth a little bit* -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 11:21
  - That's because it's not an actual pizza, just an inedible pizza-shaped object. -- nm - Baruno Apr 22, 11:12
- BURN IT WITH FIRE -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 11:09 1
  - Brick Oven? -- nm - Dano Apr 22, 11:13

... covid related. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 10:57
I've taken the Staten Island Ferry before. I need to take a ferry from Tallin to Helsinki later this year. It's a 2 hour ride. Look at these ships!! -- (link) - ty97 Apr 22, 10:35 15
- Wouldn't it be cool to live in a first world country? -- nm - loosilu Apr 22, 11:20
- My wife did the Helsinki to Stockholm one. Apparently just a great big drunken party. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 10:58 1
  - That appears to be an overnight like 14-16 hour cruise so I guess that makes some sense. But a two hour ferry ride with ships like that surprised me -- nm - ty97 Apr 22, 11:01
- My parents did this a few years ago. They loved it. They did St Petersburg-Helsinki-Tallin, I believe. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 22, 10:55
- you are practically Pete Davidson -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 10:55
- Looks pretty similar to a Coastal-class BC Ferry (albeit bigger) -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 10:51 7
  - But like, the interior has a shopping mall and restaurants, for a 2 hour ferry? -- nm* - ty97 Apr 22, 10:57 6
    - That's the tail end of the route. Well, maybe now that Russia is Russia-ing, it's all of the route, but originally.. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 22, 11:11 1
      - A couple of those ships are dedicated to Tallin-Helsinki, they just go back and forth on that route. - ty97 Apr 22, 11:33
    - It has a gift shop and multiple restaurants and a buffet and a for-pay lounge for folks who want quiet -- nm* - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:00 3
      - Swanky Western Canadians -- nm - ty97 Apr 22, 11:02 1
        
        It's a bit skookum, yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:04
      - So, I wouldn't exactly call it a shopping mall, but it has multiple food choices and non-food stuff to buy, yeah. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:02
- yeah, mini cruise ships. Lots of videos from travel YouTubers out there. -- nm - Mop Apr 22, 10:47
- Burger King! -- nm - Dano Apr 22, 10:45
I am sure that the name of this Ottawa area street is not pronounced the way I am saying it in my head "DAMSELFISH WALK" -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 22, 10:23 1
- Heheh -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 10:31
Just saw a Kyndryl ad on Reddit and I'm like "That sounds familiar" but WTF is that company name? :) - oblique Apr 22, 10:15 12
- "Kyn" is derived from the word kinship. "Dryl" comes from tendril, bringing to mind new growth - ty97 Apr 22, 10:36 9
  - Like a hug that squeezes and squeezes, tighter and tighter, until light drifts from your eyes, but with love. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 11:00 1
    - Again?!?!?! -- nm - Carol/Cheryl Apr 22, 11:32
  - shouldn't it be Kindril then? -- nm - decline Apr 22, 10:46
  - "Kin" is also a Japanese word for gold or money because they plan to make bank on this. -- nm - Baruno Apr 22, 10:41
  - I want to be a name consultant when I grow up. -- nm - spamlet Apr 22, 10:38 4
    - I've considered turning my Namr.xyz site into a naming consultancy -- nm* - Beryllium Apr 22, 10:48 2
      - Are you willing to get paid to generate total bs like the above? -- nm - spamlet Apr 22, 10:49 1
        
        If it were that simple, yes. Unfortunately there's too much hustle involved in getting started. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 10:52
    - Imagine getting paid to suggest "Mondelēz." -- nm - Baruno Apr 22, 10:42
- "Kyndryl side effects include fever, nausea, bloating, redness, if it lasts more than four hours see a Doctor." -- nm - budice Apr 22, 10:20
- Do not take Kyndryl if you are allergic to Kyndryl. -- nm - znufrii Apr 22, 10:20
Splatoon 3 has a release date now of 9/9. -- nm - Qale Apr 22, 10:12
~I don't remember /I don't recall .. I have no memory of anything at all!~♫ -- (link) - mud Apr 22, 10:07 4
- more -- (link) - mud Apr 22, 10:28 1
  - "No- oh wait, that fits into my talking points! Yes." -- nm - Max Apr 22, 11:02
- Poor woman, that young and with a shot memory already. They should DQ her for medical reasons.. (NM) - Marlowe Apr 22, 10:25
- she must not be taking her Prevagen -- nm - decline Apr 22, 10:08
Is B.M.I. a Scam? It can be a helpful health measure for large groups of people, but it won’t tell you much about yourself. - crash davis Apr 22, 09:58 4
- I don't need a number to tell me I'm fat. -- nm - Dano Apr 22, 10:43
- Certainly not a scam. One measure among many. - Baruno Apr 22, 10:31
- BMI by itself tells us nothing. Other than your weight is considered disproportionate to your height. - sycor Apr 22, 10:31
- huh, I would have guessed 1990s, not 1830s -- nm - Max Apr 22, 10:09
I feel like some STers would appreciate this. -- (link) - Beryllium Apr 22, 09:56
The Charlotte Michael Jordan's are doing stupid bullshit again. Fire their head coach after he's improved by 10 games a season the last 2 years - Will Hunting Apr 22, 09:54
Searching for the Notorious Celebrity Book Stylist In the name of personal branding, influencers might be paying someone to make them look like reader - crash davis Apr 22, 09:54
The very last 747 has been delivered to UPS. -- (link) - spamlet Apr 22, 09:46 3
- Love that plane. - ty97 Apr 22, 09:50 2
  - Also, barring a plane change (which certainly could happen) I'm flying a 747 in September -- nm - ty97 Apr 22, 09:50 1
    - Korean? -- nm - spamlet Apr 22, 09:57
The husband of one of my wife's friends from college (my wife was the last girl he dated - he's gay if that wasn't clear 😊) just landed a job with 343 -- (edited) - oblique Apr 22, 09:38 8
- this number apparently has a very different meaning than the one I’m most familiar with. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 22, 10:23 3
  - 343 Guilty Spark. It's the Halo studio. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 10:30 2
    - It’s also the number of FDNY firefighters killed on 9/11, so that’s what I associate it with. -- nm* - znufrii Apr 22, 10:31 1
      - Hmm. Halo 1 came out two months after 9/11, so I assume it's a coincidence that the character has that name. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 11:04
- These are all words. -- nm - MDH Apr 22, 09:47
- Everything I've seen and heard about what's going on at 343 suggests he's entering a shitstorm. -- nm - Mop Apr 22, 09:45 1
  - Yeah. I hope it is a good thing for him. I know he used to do graphic design for xbox and worked on the early Kinect stuff so it's right in his - oblique Apr 22, 09:50
- I feel like there is a lot to unpack in this post -- nm - groiny Apr 22, 09:40
Went to my shift at Wrigley figuring a rain out. We get 5 hours pay if the game is called after our start time. It was postponed to - zunk xometimes Apr 22, 09:35
is this thing on? -- nm - groiny Apr 22, 09:34 22
- I *literally* was about to text you. -- nm - Spawn Apr 22, 09:35 21
  - uh-huh -- nm - groiny Apr 22, 09:37 20
    - how you feeling? -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 09:38 19
      - it's been a slow road man. My mouth is better mostly. - groiny Apr 22, 09:39 18
        
        well stop eating batteries then. - tRuMaN Apr 22, 10:30
        
        I hope you recover more faster. Best wishes man -- nm - crash davis Apr 22, 09:45 16
        
        Seriously. That sounds brutal. -- nm - David Apr 22, 11:34
        
        Yup yup! Happy to hear about the progress! -- nm - Krusty Apr 22, 11:20

        Word. Get better man -- nm - JaxSean Apr 22, 10:02
        
        yeah! -- nm - mud Apr 22, 09:58
        
        Yep! Glad to hear there's been progress, and I too hope it accelerates. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 09:54
        
        Big time. -- nm - Shaun Apr 22, 09:48

A spider definitely wrote that, ty. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Apr 22, 09:26 2
- It's *unlikely* to kill you though! -- nm - ty97 Apr 22, 09:27 1
  - (So it definitely was not an Australian spider that wrote it) -- nm - ty97 Apr 22, 09:28
Bery, if that tug is priced in Canadian dollars, I like it a lot. Let me guess: blown motor? -- nm - crash davis Apr 22, 09:24 2
- Yes, it's Canadian dollars. I have no idea of the running condition. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 09:29 1
  - though it is not what I was talking about, I like it. A lot -- nm - crash davis Apr 22, 09:32

  - i hear the black rocks at Peggy's Cove are a must see... -- nm - Beaker Apr 22, 09:36
  - *Waves in a general Reagen-ish direction.* -- nm - Andie Apr 22, 09:35 2
    - We're around but tomorrow's busy. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 11:05 1
      - No worries. We are in and out. Doing Lunenburg and Peggy's Cove tomorrow. Fly out Sunday morning. Blink and we're gone! - Andie Apr 22, 11:34
- Yay! -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 09:21
- Did you kill Guy Lafleur? -- nm - spamlet Apr 22, 09:21 9
  - He wouldn't make it 10 metres. -- nm - Reagen Apr 22, 09:24 3
    - That’s like really far, right? -- nm - spamlet, American Apr 22, 09:25 2
      - It's like an hour -- nm - JaxSean Apr 22, 09:36 1

  - Heh. That could be the seed of an idea for Enemy of the State: Canadian Edition. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 22, 09:22 4
    - That sound track would suck though. -- nm - Qale Apr 22, 09:31 3
