- Is it related to my dad’s family? My uncle fired not only my mom (his sister-in-law) but his own mother at various times. -- nm - spamlet Jun 6, 10:24 4
  - Do they still speak? And how often does that come up? - David Jun 6, 10:27 3
    - For our family, only when necessary except my dad (it’s his brother). - spamlet Jun 6, 10:36 2
      - My cousins on my mother’s side are the same way. I never know who is talking to who at a given time. - The Allfather Jun 6, 10:40

      - Cody’s champion within 9 months for the #1 organization in the business. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:14 7
        
        I was curious about that. Almost all my WWE knowledge comes from here. - the wrong element Jun 6, 10:27 3
        
        Pushing Cody is making some of the crowded AEW upper tier give WWE a 2nd look. Mission accomplished in that. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:33 1
        
        The thing about the AEW part is that there are a LOT more former WWE people telling the AEW talent how much better they have it. - The Allfather Jun 6, 10:38
        
        I'm 100% sure that one of Cody's demands for signing with WWE was the title run his dad and brother never got. - David Jun 6, 10:29
        
        We'll see. He's about to miss the same four months where Reigns is going away. - David Jun 6, 10:15 2
        
        I’m serious when I say let Roman main event both nights of WM. Beat Rock on Saturday, Cody wins Sunday. - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:21 1
        
        He absolutely will get that pop, and he deserves it. Unfortunately, he works for a guy who doesn't care what the crowd thinks. - David Jun 6, 10:23
    - it's a work. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 6, 10:11
- a snippet of the article - Remlik Jun 6, 10:06 6
  - That's right, folks. Vince will throw his own daughter under the bus rather than accept his own failings! -- nm - David Jun 6, 10:10 3
    - At least this time it was only the bus and not him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 6, 10:34 1
      - Touché. -- nm - The Allfather Jun 6, 10:36
    - As if that wasn't telegraphed for decades -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 10:27
  - Are we sure Vince is trying to emulate UFC? It sounds like he's actually trying to emulate Succession. -- nm - Mop Jun 6, 10:09 1
    - Reenact I, Claudius...only with more drama -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 6, 10:13
- bastard -- nm - decline Jun 6, 10:05

Twitter is having a laugh again. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 6, 09:53 2
- Twitter is imagining a person you're mad at and then yelling at that person. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 10:03 1
  - It's where you go to win all your shower arguments. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 6, 10:05

- *sigh* -- nm - David Jun 6, 09:55
Here’s where COVID gets tricky. Houston. Number of cases should be triggering a higher warning level. But hospitalizations indicate lowest level. - Qale Jun 6, 09:45 17
- That's great to see about ICU and death numbers. Since we're never getting to zero cases, I want those as low as possible. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 10:00
- This is basically what "flatten the curve" looks like. Hospitalizations (and deaths) are the metric. No one seems to care anymore about infections - oblique Jun 6, 09:56
- if you get infected do you have to stay home for 5 days? - Andie Jun 6, 09:48 13
  - "Have to," no. "Should," yes. At this point, a TON of people I know have had it in the last ~30-45 days, and most have little-to-no symptoms. - JaxSean Jun 6, 10:00 6
    - Sure, but staying home isn't the default if you are positve? -- nm* - Andie Jun 6, 10:01 5
      - it is for most people I know or follow, and there have been a lot lately - and not all mild. - i.b.! Jun 6, 10:09
      - At this point, not to sound like a dick, but I think most people are treating it like a cold / the flu. - JaxSean Jun 6, 10:05 3
        
        the CDC disagrees though. -- nm - Andie Jun 6, 10:07 2
        
        The biggest problem is that the view of the CDC has dramatically plummeted and people won't pay attention. -- nm - MDH Jun 6, 10:21
        
        well sure, I'm just saying there's no one enforcing the guidelines, and there's no external testing/tracing. - JaxSean Jun 6, 10:11
  - Yes you do. -- nm - spamlet Jun 6, 09:52 2
    - Here are the CDC guidelines that most places follow -- (link) - spamlet Jun 6, 09:53 1
      - I just walked through that, if i tested positive today, and had no symptoms, i could leave my house on June 12. -- (pic) -- (link*) - Andie Jun 6, 10:05 [Attachment]
  - I am not actually sure. They stopped posting when partners got infected. I know some who have recently. I believe they still pay you for 5 days… - Qale Jun 6, 09:52 2
    - My brother-in-law got it a few weeks ago. Work told him "come back in after 10 days, no need to test again." -- nm - JaxSean Jun 6, 10:13 1
      - That's basically the official guidelines. Ours is 5 days, return if symptoms are gone otherwise wait until 10, no test required -- nm - oblique Jun 6, 10:19
- Addendum: ICU use is at its lowest level thus far since the start. -- nm - Qale Jun 6, 09:47
Just overheard as I walked by someone's desk, "Yeah, I think my sister's wedding had 600 guests." - Andie Jun 6, 09:38 1
- I don't think I even know 600 people -- nm - decline Jun 6, 09:40

Today's Bond movie on the big screen is Live and Let Die, I suspect the ones I'm choosing to see are based on how good the title song is. -- nm - LMS Jun 6, 09:20 2

  - So far I've seen... - LMS Jun 6, 10:36

  - this is the prequel. set around Game #10 (daughter loved the book) -- nm* - Beaker Jun 6, 09:28 2
    - I don’t think I’m spoiling anything to say it’s President Snow’s origin story. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 6, 09:33
    - Ah okay. The trailer made me think sequel. -- nm - sycor Jun 6, 09:32
Reagen, looks like Holloway is in tonight. They should also bench Nurse and just throw Broberg in. -- (edited) - Shaun Jun 6, 09:12 2
- Turns out you need a functional abdomen to play defense. -- nm - Reagen Jun 6, 09:56 1
  - ie. he should've been scratched the entire time. -- nm - Shaun Jun 6, 10:05
This makes sense to me, because of dishwasher observations. Water clings longer to plastic without drying. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 6, 09:10
EEAAO available for digital purchase tomorrow, physical media next month. -- (link) - Swilcan Baron Jun 6, 09:07 1
- Slick. -- nm - Shaun Jun 6, 09:47

my mortgage payment went down $3.20!! (note that we have max increase in municipality tax and school tax in 2022, so it will go up like $100 next year - amanda Jun 6, 08:32 3
- ours went up over $ 300. At some point we will be paying $ 1k a month to live here even though we own the place. - St. Epiphany Jun 6, 08:34 2
  - my homeowners can't be escrowed for stupid reasons relating to the fact that I live in a noncomforming property. I just pay it out of pocket (and cry) -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 08:44 1
    - eek! not fair! do they take $ 100 Taco Bell gift cards? hee -- nm - St. Epiphany Jun 6, 08:48

- Dark Side of the 90s ep1-6. It’s standard background fare. It’s not exactly ‘dark’ really. But not bubbly like VH1s I <3 series. -- nm - Qale Jun 6, 08:39
- I'll count Thursday: The Orville, The Boys, Strange New Worlds, Band of Brothers, The Pacific. All of it A+, because ... - Beryllium Jun 6, 08:39 5
  - Forgot Orville. If it was not a show I watch with Amy, Im ight drop it. Forgot, SHORSEY: A+! -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 09:02 4
    - I suspect the next episode of Orville will be a lot more actiony. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 6, 09:03 3
      - It a series that I had zero interest in ever rewatching. It is just there. In a world before DISCO and SNW it had a place, but now it is just filler. - Spawn Jun 6, 09:10 2
        
        It's a specific kind of filler: a fever dream of the spirit behind TNG. I think there's still a place for that. - Beryllium Jun 6, 09:24 1
        
        the new Trek show is indeed fantastic. -- nm - Beaker Jun 6, 09:34

- Add Pistol: B+ to this, and I agree. -- nm - Spawn Jun 6, 08:13
Both my Zoom meetings for the day have been canceled. It's a Christmas miracle. -- nm - Swilcan Baron Jun 6, 08:12 2

It's Morbin' Time! -- nm - Beaker Jun 6, 08:10 7
- I watched it. Til the end. It's not as bad as I'd been led to believe. - Shaun Jun 6, 08:28 4
  - it was fine, right? like, passable. very 80s in spots, too dark, thin characters, iffy plot. but fine. -- nm - amanda Jun 6, 09:04 2
    - Pretty much. I doubt I'll actively watch it again, but I didn't hate my life after it was done. -- nm - Shaun Jun 6, 09:07
