RIP Philip Baker Hall -- (link) - Reagen Jun 13, 09:40 6
- I always remember him from one of Modern Family’s greatest jokes. Like seeing him with an oxygen tank, and taking a huge breath of air prior to enter - Will Hunting Jun 13, 10:18 1
  - Hah, yes, that was great -- nm - Beryllium Jun 13, 10:19

@Kelly, this video about the train link to Newark is pretty thorough. There's a few gotchas to pay attention to. -- (link) - Mop Jun 13, 09:25 [youtube] 5
- My brother offered to let us stay with him in Jersey City the night before, and he'll bring us to the airport. Doesn't look like it's going to happen - kelly Jun 13, 09:46
- Who? That would be the Pennsylvania Railroad, that's who. -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 09:40
- Newark to/from Manhattan is easy enough/fine. NJ Transit from Penn Station three tops to the airport stop, then connect to the airtrain -- (edited) - ty97 Jun 13, 09:39 2
  - Unless you’re downtown, then you need to take the PATH from WTC and change at Newark Penn to go one more stop. -- nm - znufrii Jun 13, 09:44 1
    - Or if you are feeling adventurous change to the 62 bus at Newark Penn -- nm - ty97 Jun 13, 09:46

Gonna have to figure this one out. Daughter's room at the new house is currently 6 degrees warmer than the rest of the house. -- (edited) - oblique Jun 13, 09:03 13
- Is it over the garage? -- nm - TWuG Jun 13, 10:40

- the room is possessed -- nm - decline Jun 13, 09:56
- is it the south/sunny side of the house? Does the thermo keep it constant to 69 everywhere? or just in the main room where it is measure? -- nm - Beaker Jun 13, 09:26 1
  - It's the north side (non-sunny). My example was setting her room to say "75" the rest of the house ends up at 69 -- nm - oblique Jun 13, 09:41
- Did she open the box? - zork Jun 13, 09:14
- Has she been in contact with Candlemaker? - Beryllium Jun 13, 09:13
- it's haunted. Wait no, it's the one spot in the house that isn't haunted! -- nm - mud Jun 13, 09:09 2
  - If it's ghosts, then it's colder. It's demons if it's hotter. -- nm - Mop Jun 13, 09:30
  - I agree with mud. -- nm - Reluctant Cynic Jun 13, 09:10
- Farthest from the AC unit? -- nm - Spawn Jun 13, 09:04 1
  - kinda. The AC unit is central to the house. She's in the front left room but again, most of the house is one big room outside of each bedroom. - oblique Jun 13, 09:24

This is a solid point about fear of AIs. -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 13, 08:50 4 1
- It's fair to say we're looking at it the wrong way. AI doesn't have to be intelligent to kill us. - Mop Jun 13, 09:56
- I saw it put another way that it's a big leap to think AIs would even see us as competition. -- nm - Reagen Jun 13, 09:01
- Huh. - znufrii Jun 13, 08:53
- that's a great point. -- nm - Remlik Jun 13, 08:52

Cubs/Yanks: 35.1mph Frank Schwindel pitch is the slowest (known/measured) MLB pitch to ever get hit for a home run -- (link*) - budice Jun 13, 07:55 9
- Why do you throw that? -- nm - zork Jun 13, 08:00 8
  - 1) it's funny. 2) It's probably more of a mind-fuck to the batter than a 75mph normal pitch. -- nm - Will Hunting Jun 13, 08:29
  - because you play first base and you’re down by 13. -- nm - mafic Jun 13, 08:04 5
