*checks WWE stock after the CEO resigns in disgrace and they admit to financial impacts of his settlements* up 8%. That’s damning. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 14:25 3

- damn that blows -- nm - Jovian Jul 25, 13:25
- I thought it had been gone for a long time. But that was just from Taco Bell. -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 25, 13:15 6
  - Taco Bell sold ice cream? -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 13:26 5
    - There's a place here doing a Nashville Hot Chicken Ice Cream Sandwich and I want to punish them for their hubris. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 14:38
    - Yup. That's where I first had them. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 13:35 3
      - Maybe the trial re-addition to the Taco Bell menu didn't go so well -- (link) - JD Jul 25, 13:54 1
        
        We could buy them in the grocery store, 6 for ~$6 or less. - JaxSean Jul 25, 14:09
      - Interesting. I didn't know that. I've only had them from ice cream trucks. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 13:37

Have been thinking about Marvel movies. The Sophomore Slump is real. Both GotG and Doctor Strange are among my Top 5, but their sequels are both... - Spawn Jul 25, 13:02 8
- No marvelphile, but GOTG2 is among my favorites -- nm - rollo Jul 25, 14:39 1
  - Yeah, it has emotional stakes and an ending that doesn't require the villain to be a moron. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 14:56
- I was thinking about how little of phase 5 interested me, but .. - mud Jul 25, 13:12 5
  - Yeah it is not where it was. Blade, Loki, GotG3, Thunderbolts (depending on who) and Daredevil for me. But none have me psyched. - Spawn Jul 25, 13:29 1
    - Secret Invasion will Rock, and I'm pretty psyched for Wakanda Forever. BP was a masterpiece of production design with superior directing etc and the - mud Jul 25, 13:37
  - I think breaking off the tv shows made it simultaneously more interesting and diluted. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 25, 13:26 2
    - .. huh? -- nm - mud Jul 25, 13:45 1
      - It increased content overall but took away plot points that would’ve/could’ve been in movies. So there’s more ‘stuff’ out there but the movies…. - Volnelk Jul 25, 15:11
LYC: Weird Monday, continues. One of our HOAs has a street light out. I have reported it to the power company via phone a couple times. - Spawn Jul 25, 12:56

omfg ouch -- (link) - Jovian Jul 25, 12:13 13
- Here's a link to reddit that shows more. (Warning. I wish I hadn't seen the aftermath.) -- (link) - Dano Jul 25, 12:36 4
  - Yeah, no way that's accurate. -- nm - Mop Jul 25, 13:34
  - Apparently from the comments, the aftermath part is a different person that's been used for other accident videos (but still very disturbing). -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 12:50 1
    - eww, a copypasta noface-sta? -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 12:52
  - Hard pass. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 12:38

- Maybe he'll learn to not be a fucking dumbass before the next one kills him. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 12:23 5
  - Jeez, do you think he lived? Not only did he get face punched by a couple hundred pounds of wood, but headered into the ground -- nm - He's an organ donor at best Jul 25, 12:32 4
    - the thread says he lived but his face got completely destroyed. (I didnt look into those links that apparently show the aftermath) -- nm - Jovian Jul 25, 12:33 3
      - Yeah, I'm gonna take a pass on those links as well -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 12:34 2

Minister in Brooklyn robbed at gunpoint during a live stream service -- (link) - zeitgeist Jul 25, 12:00 6
- Sub head.... they took One Million in jewelry from them...gotta say, I think I'm on the robbers side on this one -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 12:02 5
  - Unless it's an insurance scam, in which case they can all go to jail. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 12:03 4
    - There's definitely a scam and it's a "minister" that has hundreds of thousands or millions in jewelry. - Krusty Jul 25, 12:45 2
      - He's an amateur compared to Cresflo "cashflow" Dollar who wants his flock to donate for a bigger private jet, Joel Osteen laughs... -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 12:53 1
        
        They can all be disgusting. Unfortunately they're treating it like some kind of competition. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 12:55
    - That's something I was wondering too. But you'd like come in the morning a find the window Jimmie and safe cracked, not risk live video -- nm - Or a parishioners with guns Jul 25, 12:11

  - In a different timeline he did -- nm - Pippy Reacher Jul 25, 11:41

Instacart and Chase launch a new Instacart Mastercard. $200 credit on approval, free year of Instacart+ and 5% cash back on Instacart purchases - oblique Jul 25, 10:52 11
- meh. not a fan of instacart at all. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 11:41 2
  - Same. - znufrii Jul 25, 12:34
  - It has grown on me. I don't use it often but in emergencies it has been a lifesaver. My pro-tip: Use it to send flowers + chocolates to your wife - oblique Jul 25, 11:45
- That is *amazing*. - Spawn Jul 25, 11:12 7
  - Grocery delivery. It's very popular here. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 11:31 6
    - Yeah, the people who leave their carts cluttering the aisles while they run around, glued to their phones, looking for things they've never heard of. -- nm - Meg Jul 25, 11:35
    - Ah. Not a fan. - Spawn Jul 25, 11:34 4
      - You can say no substitutions or you can suggest what substitution you would want. It works well for us when we can't get to the supermarket. -- nm - Krusty Jul 25, 11:54
      - who wants to schlep bags of groceries home on the subway. much easier when you can park at the store and at home. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 11:35 2
        
        I have four supermarkets within walking distance and a big one that's one stop away on the subway. We can walk it and use a granny cart but sometimes - Krusty Jul 25, 11:56
        
        Yeah, I park there, buy them and drive them home. But I see your point. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 11:40
Your top 10 songs: About Damn Time, As It Was, Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God), First Class, Wait For U, Me Porto Bonito, Break My Soul, Heat Waves, Late Night Talking, Jimmy Cooks -- (edited) - Tim Jul 25, 10:40 3
- Hurray for Lizzo! -- nm - Qale As Folk Jul 25, 13:20
- Is a lot of this due to people adding a song to their Spotify playlist and then just never removing it? -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 11:27 1
  - Sort of. Streaming gets a song on the chart and then radio keeps it there. - Tim Jul 25, 11:43
wrong place -- nm* - jnine Jul 25, 10:30 3

The Sandman looks like Dylan Moran and now I'm thinking how much I'd have loved it if he was cast instead. -- nm - LMS Jul 25, 10:28 1
- ... which would open the door for Bill Bailey. (So that Dylan could then slam the door in Bill's face.) -- nm - Beryllium Jul 25, 10:48
Remlik, is he supposed to have less personality than wet newspaper? - Will Hunting Jul 25, 10:27 4
- Elon? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 12:34
- I thought you played a lot of poker. - mud Jul 25, 11:19
- Remlik has a *great* personality. -- nm - WST Jul 25, 11:13
- you've never read the book or listened to the audible book? -- (edited) - Remlik Jul 25, 10:34
We had the opposite thing happen. We joined CostCo last month, and the person was so helpful that we added Executive. - David Jul 25, 10:21 10
- The idea of Costco is nice but everytime I'm in one it feels like a contact sport. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 11:42 2
  - Yeah. And you need to go in with a precise game plan or you will get crushed. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 11:55
  - demolition derby with box trucks, all those extra huge shopping carts -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 11:51
- The CostCo around here isn't close enough to me. I use Sam's though and have never been pressured. I never interact with anyone with scan and go. - sycor Jul 25, 11:36
- I had little pressure but there was zero customer service. I did the executive and when it ran out they did not even try to get me to renew. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 11:14
- They let me take my photo with my mask on when I lost my card early in covid and wouldn't take it off inside. -- nm - jnine Jul 25, 10:39 1
  - Makes it a lot easier to loan it out. -- nm - Spawn Jul 25, 11:17
- that has always been my costco experience as well. until this weekend. note that if I lived closer, for sure I'd do exec because I think I would see - amanda Jul 25, 10:31 2
  - When they still had a photo dept I used to walk to mine to pick up my prints. It was easier than trying to park there. -- nm - Meg Jul 25, 11:03
  - We're actually ordering online pretty regularly, although...new house. -- nm - David Jul 25, 10:32
TIL: California Sober -- nm - David Jul 25, 10:12
Seattle is getting an XFL team...uh...yeah? -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 10:12 7
- It'll have a better QB than the Seahawks do, too! -- nm - David Jul 25, 10:13 6
  - Still the best Twitter destruction in recent times. -- (pic) - Will Hunting Jul 25, 10:18 [Image] 4
    - ML sent me that within an hour of its posting. I *loved* watching various STers discover it over time. - David Jul 25, 10:22 3
      - I’ve posted it at least twice now…that PR guy woke up angry. It was glorious. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 25, 10:26 2
        
        I give Drew Lock credit for having a good sense of humor about it. - David Jul 25, 10:27 1
        
        Yeah. And it's not like he made the initial comment. He was collateral damage. -- nm - Dano Jul 25, 10:33
  - Heyyyy -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 25, 10:16
Mop, thought you might like this (Mach-E related) -- (link) - oblique Jul 25, 10:09 6
- I was pretty shocked at how fast my car charged from 12% to 100% at the EA in pgh. it was just over 50 minutes. I expected an hour at least. -- nm - amanda Jul 25, 10:36 5
  - Unless the battery chemistry supports it (lithium iron phosphate (lfp) batteries do), it's best to avoid charging to 100%. If you do charge that - TWuG Jul 25, 15:45
  - EA? -- nm - JaxSean Jul 25, 11:06 1
    - Electrify America. -- nm - Reagen Jul 25, 11:34
  - The recommendation I see is run 20-80% unless you need the 80-100% to start a trip. I charge mine to 80% each night. EDIT: -- (edited) - oblique Jul 25, 10:45 1
    - Yeah, I only go to 100 if I specifically am going to need it that day. - Reagen Jul 25, 11:36
