- have they found any more mob bodies? -- nm - mafic May 22, 18:26

Dumb question, because I don't get sick often, but fevers are supposed to be a *good* thing right? Means your body is fighting infection? - ty97 May 22, 16:45 10
- I think it would be preferable that you weren't sick enough to have a fever -- nm - zork May 22, 18:19 1
  - Heh. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 18:20
- We prefer our Ty at a nice 97, thank you -- nm - zeitgeist May 22, 17:49
- I just did some work on a particular study sample where not being febrile was associated with increased mortality. - Swilcan Baron May 22, 17:39 3
  - Interesting. - ty97 May 22, 17:51 2
    - Also, I had to google febrile, so thanks for my word of the day! -- nm - ty97 May 22, 17:51 1
      - Heh, you're welcome. It's one of those terms you hear all the time when you work with doctors so you forget it's not common. - Swilcan Baron May 22, 17:57
- It’s your body doing what it’s supposed to, yeah. -- nm - znufrii May 22, 17:08
- Until it fries your brain, yes. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 17:03

- Do it! -- nm - Krusty May 22, 16:21
- A 1987 Gulf 32 pilothouse -- (link) - Beryllium May 22, 16:09 3
  - Pilothouse also sounds like a band name from the same period. -- nm - Max May 22, 18:33
  - That seems like a great price...what's wrong with it? -- nm - zeitgeist May 22, 17:52 1
    - Damn good question. These always seem slow to sell. There's a local one for sale as well, has been for many months. -- (link) - Beryllium May 22, 18:05
I just carried two very large through-the-wall air conditioners down two flights of stairs and out to the curb. I'm going to pay for this tomorrow. - Krusty May 22, 15:56 12

  - Will you also have to add supports for those bad weather days? - Krusty May 22, 18:23
- Why are you dumping in the wall AC units? Aren't they repairable? -- nm - zeitgeist May 22, 17:46 1
  - Sadly, not. One is at least 30+ years old and hasn't worked in years. The other was a replacement that broke and had mold so it had to go as well. - Krusty May 22, 18:20
- I understand. today was cactus trimming day for me and I needed also to have a few large pieces saved for a friend to plant in his yard. -- nm - Peglegpete May 22, 16:00 6
  - Yeesh. How large are the cactus? -- nm - Krusty May 22, 16:20 5
    - the 15" diameter mickey mouse ears. He needs several ears connected to another to plant right. 30+ pounds each. and the bits I am tossing got cut -- (pic) - Peglegpete May 22, 16:28 [Attachment] 4
      - yes I have a chainsaw. these need a good 6" buried when planted. because of their size, you need a deep solid base. -- nm* - Peglegpete May 22, 16:31 3
        
        Interesting. Also, very cool looking cactus. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 22, 17:28 2
        
        this is the cactus pile in the garage drying out so when Brian is here in 10 days they are ready to plant. yes that is a yardstick for scale. -- (pic) - Peglegpete May 22, 18:21 [Attachment] 1
        
        They're huge. Way bigger than the succulents Theresa keeps in the house. :-) -- nm - Krusty May 22, 18:28

- I believe I know. I’ll ask the child to confirm when he’s done playing outside. (Spoilers) - kelly May 22, 16:04 1
  - Playing outside? Do children still do that? But there are no device screens out there. -- nm - Swilcan Baron May 22, 17:45
- Spoiler guess - Krusty May 22, 16:00

  - “I like what I’m seeing. Do you make them with a gas engine?” -- nm - Mop May 22, 18:55
  - Apparently -- nm - spamlet May 22, 18:23
- Of course not, they all drive F150s and roll coal all day long. ;-) -- nm - Krusty May 22, 15:50 1
  - That's what Twitter tells me. And dodge RAMs and F-250s and F-350s. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 18:12
So, the top 6 at the PGA coming in today are a combined 10 over par. No one wants to win this apparently. -- nm - Will Hunting May 22, 14:59 1

- Onion powder for a thickener -- nm - zeitgeist May 22, 14:37 3

    - You’re a Parisian paparazzi? -- nm - Will Hunting May 22, 15:03 1
      - :-[ -- nm - mud May 22, 15:07
LIR nostalgia needs to be overt because we've lost Jesus. Culture is telling us "stop looking for the great stories when you have these." -- nm - con_carne May 22, 13:20
I have a sudden, great interest in softball. -- nm - Mop May 22, 13:19
Heh. Technically this isn't in compliance with the portions of Pooh lore that are public domain, is it? :) -- (link) - Beryllium May 22, 13:14 1

Best guess: Is the Harry Potter redeemable in the next five years? - David May 22, 12:55 17
- I would think they could do Hogwarts: The Next Generation. - Max May 22, 17:29
- If a new movie or book came out, with HP +JK involved, the rabid fans would be there. Any non-JK involvement and it gets ripped as non-canon -- (edited) - Flavorize May 22, 13:46 2
  - I deeply disagree. The hardcore Potter fans are militantly LGBTQ+ friendly. There’s seem deep soul searching in the community. - Mop May 22, 15:06 1
    - I’ll say it doesn’t matter about her or Depp. The first movie in this series opened to 72mil. 15 years after the 1st Potter opened to far more - Will Hunting May 22, 15:15
- Sure. If they get back to stories people care about. - Will Hunting May 22, 13:07 2
  - It should have been Dumbledore based, from the first one. -- nm - Spawn May 22, 13:40 1
    - I haven’t seen any of the new but I agree. - Will Hunting May 22, 14:51
- Maybe...if WB could cut a big enough check to get it out of her hands. -- nm - Remlik May 22, 13:04 2
  - Yeah, this is the only end game that makes sense, but Warner Bros. just doesn’t have that kind of money to throw around right now. -- nm - Mop May 22, 15:07
  - only if she pulled a george lucas or a notch, but I don't think she'd be interested in that. -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 13:05
- If WB somehow convinces JKR to shut the eff up... But I agree that a film with HP himself would perform much better in any case. - Marlowe May 22, 13:02 1
  - Yes, this. What is there to "forgive" when the person is still actively pursuing avenues of harm? -- nm - Beryllium May 22, 13:02
- Cursed Child could film as a movie today and release next year without a problem -- nm - budice May 22, 12:57 3
  - Except that it is a horrible story that never should have seen the light of day. It feels like ... - zork May 22, 15:58
  - only with the original cast. -- nm - Remlik May 22, 13:03 1
    - Who have enough money that they never need to. -- nm - Reagen May 22, 14:53
