The Pixar finals are Buzz vs Woody, as was foretold. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 17, 13:17 11
- Shocker. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 13:29
- based on the person behind the voicework, I go with Woody. - Jovian Jun 17, 13:21 6
  - Hmmmmmm. This is true. He's the most subtly jerkiest of jerks, which takes great skill to achieve. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:34 4
    - I mean he ain't no James Woods, but he would still sit in 45s lap and call him Daddy. -- nm - Jovian Jun 17, 13:39 3
      - ... I mean Woody is a jerk. Not Tim Allen. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:40 2
        
        ha. But nah Woody isnt a jerk, he is just smarter than everyone else, especially Buzz. -- nm - Jovian Jun 17, 13:43 1

  - Seriously. -- nm - The Allfather Jun 17, 13:22
- Woody's a jerk, Buzz is a goof. Let the goof win. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:19
Y'all are overthinking it. It's not backlash or a bad trailer (trailer was good as it could be, IMO), it's a massive misjudge of interest - Reagen Jun 17, 13:16 8
- what bad trailer? I never saw a bad trailer. -- nm - mud Jun 17, 13:33 4
  - It's a headscratcher of a reveal, which is what could put some people off. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:40 3
    - whoa, I hadn't seen the recent one! (I saw a comment earlier about the first which I liked) That looks fantastic! (reveals too much, of course) -- nm - mud Jun 17, 14:09
    - What sort of people? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:55 1
      - people that aren't immersed in movies. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:59
- They were just trying expand the franchise and sell new toys. - The Allfather Jun 17, 13:22
- But was people wondering what would happen if Top Gun aged 40 years? (NM) - Marlowe Jun 17, 13:19 1
  - it is the same story and character, at least. -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:21
AT&T apparently messed up our contract renewal again for our regular phone lines (yes we still have them). Our normally ~$5500/mo bill was $81,397.99 - oblique Jun 17, 13:07 8
- thank you for bringing this to our attention. Yes we made an error. You new adjusted bill is $312,500.00 -- nm* - AT&T Jun 17, 13:23
- I certainly hope that at work and not at home... -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 17, 13:22 1
  - lol. Yes, work :) - oblique Jun 17, 13:30
- Pay your bills, deadbeat! -- nm - The Allfather Jun 17, 13:15
- Your new house SUCKS! -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 13:13 1
  - wait till you see his water bill -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 13:17
- It took me a second to realize you were talking about work phones -- nm - prayformojo Jun 17, 13:09
- but that should go down once she goes to college in the fall, right? -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 13:09
Meg athon... I'll be leaving tacoma at 2:30 ish, going to East Vancouver to pick up the Rose, take the bridge by the airport to...? -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 12:51 2

also, in winter "yeah my new silk rug is fine." in summer "I never want to leave my living room because this rug is so awesome." - amanda Jun 17, 12:51 4

  - it's absolutely amazing. I had no idea. -- nm - amanda Jun 17, 13:05 1

LIR Mop Scotland tours. I did a couple small group bus tours. Here is the company I used. - sycor Jun 17, 12:42 2

  - Thank you! -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 13:25

- #1 ON NETFLIX!!! -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:45 3
  - "Interceptor: B+ - Elsa P does a good job with the physicality of the role, the plot is a fun throwback to 80/90s action flick silliness, and Hemsorth - prayformojo Jun 17, 12:53 [Backboard] 2
    - ohhhhh this is *promising.* -- nm - amanda Jun 17, 13:04 1
      - I might like to watch a movie with the woman that Adrian Brody bought a castle for. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 13:05

- oh. my. god. -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 12:33

- Tell me about it...insert Hillary after 11 hours again on Benghazi meme -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 12:56
this was probably already posted - but, CNN is in the NFT game now. -- (link) - Andie Jun 17, 12:30 2
- Without reading the link, what should they be called? Hedz? - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:32 1
  - That...would be a CiNN -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 12:42
Quordle 7 8 4 6 - oblique Jun 17, 12:26
Here I am at the beautiful Benson hotel. They must have seen me coming - my room was available before noon!! -- nm - Meg Jun 17, 12:18 11
- btw, The past three books I've read & the last series I've binged all had murders at archaeological digs. I had no idea your avocation was so dangerous -- nm* - crash davis Jun 17, 12:29 9
  - Either that or a drunken/accidental fall into the campfire :) -- nm - Meg Jun 17, 12:53 1
    - Or did the villain invoke the evil spirit with a hidden idol to push -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 12:58

        Because of the gawd damn aliens, jeez you've seen movies.... -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 12:48
        
        The Last Words of Belloq -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 12:47
      - Yes. Bullets have their own oxidizer. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:44

Our friends Flagship Romance are down to less than 5 days left on their kickstarter for their album, and all pledge amounts are being tripled. -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:55 1

Thanks, Roger More - I bookmark'd that raclette grill.....with extreme prejudice - prayformojo Jun 17, 11:51 6
- I'd try and get a small one - as Guigue suggests, it's not worth getting a big one unless you're hosting regular cheese parties - Roger More Jun 17, 12:07 1
  - OTOH, regular cheese parties might get me to visit. Buy some expensive cheese, I'll show up eat it and leave. If your lucky, I'll bring cheap wine -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 12:12
- Cut the fat out of something else and keep the cheese -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 12:01 3
  - Or the carbs -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 13:00
  - word -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:12
  - Honestly, this is the way. -- nm - Roger More Jun 17, 12:03
The GOP is a death cult. They want fewer restrictions on domestic abusers' ability to purchase/own firearms. -- (edited) - TWuG Jun 17, 11:42 11
- They need to include cruelty to animals as an exclusion too. That's how serial killers start -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 17, 12:46
- Same as it ever was. -- nm - znufrii Jun 17, 11:53 1
  - Change my pitch up! - GOP Jun 17, 12:09
- Wait, isn't it already federal law that if you're convicted of a domestic abuse crime that you can't purchase a gun? -- nm* - Inigo Jun 17, 11:46 3
  - This would be expanded to include those with restraining orders against them, IIUC. -- (edited) - TWuG Jun 17, 11:52 1
    - Thank to you and spamlet! -- nm - Inigo Jun 17, 11:53
  - Only if you are married. That’s the loophole they’re trying to close. -- nm - spamlet Jun 17, 11:51
- It's the same reason they want fewer taxes on the rich, they're convinced it's gonna be them someday. -- nm - Guigue Jun 17, 11:43
- IHOP? -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 11:42 2
  - Making Pancakes Great Again? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 17, 13:58
  - Autocarrot hays me -- nm - TWuG Jun 17, 11:43
SpaceX fires 5 employees who wrote scathing letter about Musk inappropriate behavior -- (link) - zeitgeist Jun 17, 11:34 6
- So let me get this straight... if you circulate material around your workplace bad-mouthing your boss, there could be consequences??? -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Jun 17, 12:56 4
  - If said boss likes to claim that free speech is paramount+ or prime or whatever, well, there's a bit of a headscratcher. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 17, 14:21
  - Well ... should media barons be able to retaliate against their employees and customers like that? - Beryllium Jun 17, 13:00 1
    - Ummm... yes. In this case, most definitely yes. - Cuzzin Todd Jun 17, 13:09
  - *surprised Pikachu face* -- nm - spamlet Jun 17, 12:58
- were they acquired by Vought? -- nm - mud Jun 17, 11:38
Kilbo's right. People need to stop thinking in terms of box office. -- (edited) - David Jun 17, 11:28 7
- Goal setting! If 20 million people subscribe to Disney+ this weekend, we'll add Lightyear to the service on Monday! -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 12:06
- This would make more sense if Disney was making money off of Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+, but they're currently not given the latest quarterly report. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 17, 11:44 4
  - I am normally 100% on your side on these things, but here I need to disagree some. - amanda Jun 17, 12:03 3
    - I don't think it will be a huge hit with kids. It's a Disney cartoon, yes. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 17, 12:10 2
      - agree on subscriber growth, disagree some still on toys. - amanda Jun 17, 12:14 1
        
        The toy came before the legend. The toys are fine. - Spawn Jun 17, 12:16
- Much like album sales. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 11:30
Mop, I’m sure they have tours wherever you want to go. They’ll be more expensive and less flexible than renting a car but they’ll be there. - spamlet Jun 17, 11:25 12
- I was totally unfamiliar with Viator. Thank you! -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 12:08 1
  - No problem. We’ve used it a bunch for day tours and such and have always had good experiences. - spamlet Jun 17, 12:46
- Scotland was like coming home, for me. Driving through the highlands, blasting Queen. Driving around Loch Ness. It was nirvana. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 11:29 9
  - ...driving on the wrong side of the road... -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 12:08 3
    - No words to express how awesome driving on the wrong side of the road going through high speed roundabouts was. - Spawn Jun 17, 12:10 2
      - I will say this. I was expecting thousands of dollars in fines from speed cameras and violation of congestion zones. If there are they never got here. -- nm - Spawn Jun 17, 12:15 1
        
        sounds great -- nm - mud Jun 17, 12:44
  - Right but not everyone is comfortable doing that. I drove around Ireland but my wife refused, for instance. -- nm - spamlet Jun 17, 11:33 4
    - East side of Scotland: normal driving experience. West side of Scotland: Ohmygodohmygodwe'regonnadie -- nm - Reagen Jun 17, 13:17
    - Right, yeah. U2 would make more sense there. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 17, 11:43 1
      - heh -- nm - JaxSean Jun 17, 11:46
    - True. I am not a "tours" kind of person but many are. We drove from London to the top of the UK, and back. -- nm* - Spawn Jun 17, 11:36
LYC: $500CDN converted to $375US. Not awful, not ideal. I'll take it. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 11:25
Beaker - that's amazing your wife can do that! -- nm - Andie Jun 17, 11:25 5
- Are you sure that's not a dog in a cat suit? -- nm - Mop Jun 17, 12:22
- otherwise he has to take a pill and it messes him up. -- nm - Beaker Jun 17, 11:54
- It really is. If there's a YouTube video, I'll watch. -- nm - David Jun 17, 11:29
- So sorry, re B2. -- nm - Shaun Jun 17, 11:26 1
  - Yes, good thoughts for Tallulah -- nm - zork Jun 17, 12:34
This one is for Tallulah. - Spawn Jun 17, 11:22 3
- ah, thanks. - Andie Jun 17, 11:24 2
  - Sending good thoughts to that sweetie. - Dark Callisto Jun 17, 13:09
  - I just read the BB. I'm so sorry. Sending good kitty vibes to her. -- nm - crash davis Jun 17, 12:00
