I just saw a pig in the park while walking a dog. That's a first for me. -- (pic) - Krusty Jul 6, 10:54 [Attachment] 17
- I am 90% sure I saw a little brown pig on a leash being walked down the road the other day. And my buddy's dad had a pet pig while we were growing up. - sycor Jul 6, 11:20 1
  - I was a little nervous to try and pet it as it didn't even look at me like it wanted attention so I let it be. - Krusty Jul 6, 11:30
- Maybe Pink Floyd is playing in town -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 11:06
- Where is its blanket? -- nm - ty97 Jul 6, 11:05
- Don't try to pull a fast one on us with your obvious pig in a park. -- nm - Swilcan Baron Jul 6, 11:03
- That is one, good looking pig -- nm - Flavorize Jul 6, 11:01
- did you pet him? -- nm - decline Jul 6, 10:59 5
  - I didn't. :-( He was focused on his sniffing and I didn't want to bother him. The owner was very nice. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 11:04 4
    - Tangent: I am beginning to think Amy is serious about having a Capybara rescue ranch when she retires. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 11:06 3

        indeed. -- nm - mud Jul 6, 11:16 1
        
        I am pushing for only one type of animal (to be easier) but expect it will evolve from a Capy_Flappy-Farm to an Animals of Various Sizes Farm. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 11:20

  - Can you summarize (unfamiliar with them). Who *likes* them, so who would have bombed them? -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 11:21 2

      - heh, weird. -- nm - Spawn Jul 6, 11:51

- The odds of Watson getting a slap on the wrist just went up exponentially. -- nm - David Jul 6, 10:57 2
  - Nope—no way—Baker wasn’t playing with the Browns no matter what—Browns only get a 5th rder AND they pay half his salary— - Flavorize Jul 6, 11:02 1
    - The Browns don’t make this deal if they know Watson is out for a long time. Baker did take them to the playoffs. He isn’t a joke scrub -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 11:07
- Turning A Dollar Into a Nickel: The Cleveland Browns Story -- nm - Reagen Jul 6, 10:42 1

    - I see what you did there...golf clap -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 10:43
Hey oblique I finally figured out a reason to use a couple NFC tags with Home Assistant. Now I just have to get some tags. -- (edited) - sycor Jul 6, 09:58 2
- sweet. I didn't mess with HA at all when I had a couple days last week. I did buy a pack of the new Kasa smart plugs with power monitoring - oblique Jul 6, 11:03 1
  - I use one of those with an automation to let let me know when the wash is done since we don't normally hear the beep. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 11:18

  - I'm guessing that the job belongs to the guy dangling -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 10:41 1
    - In that case, the operator wasn’t in visual contact with his spotter and equally is awful. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 11:11

  - If that is long enough for her to dance I am fine with that. -- (link*) - Spawn Jul 6, 10:54 [youtube]
  - eh, she's a big geek. I got to spend a day with her at a comic convention once and I'm sure she probably just had fun with everyone. - sycor Jul 6, 09:53 1
    - cool. -- nm - mud Jul 6, 10:47
- I mean, it definitely knows what it is. -- nm - sycor Jul 6, 09:33 1

  - Although didn't resign himself. -- nm - LMS Jul 6, 09:02
- What happened to cause this? He survived the party house like 45 days ago. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 6, 08:39 1
  - One too many lies, and making his ministers go on TV and lie on his behalf (although not all of them were aware of the lies at the time). - LMS Jul 6, 08:51
pmb - yes, it's combined now into one show. A long show - 3 hours and 20 minutes, including one intermission. - Andie Jul 6, 08:27 4
