Oops, local courts have a rule that judges cannot approved search warrants while outside the state. This one was in Canada. -- (link) - Meg Aug 4, 10:21 1

Seriously though, has anyone ever looked at photos from the Worlds Columbian Exposition of 1893? - Jovian Aug 4, 10:04 15
- I love it, but also the buildings were - mostly - very temporary. It looks like they built a city, but they built a sand castle. -- nm - Mop Aug 4, 10:32
- World's Fairs need more publicity; I thought they'd died out decades ago. Any STers go to the 1986 expo in Vancouver or 82/84 in the US? -- nm - Max Aug 4, 10:17 6

        Nice! Due to proximity, I have been the the Field four or five times. Amazing place. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 11:19 1

- Perfect casting -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 10:42 6
  - It terrifies me that you might mean that. -- nm - David Aug 4, 10:54 5
    - She's a terrific actor. -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 11:11 2
      - Yep. She's been pretending to be a shitty actress in all her films, and she has been spectacular at that so far. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 4, 13:09 1
        
        Marlowe gets it. - The Allfather Aug 4, 13:12
    - To play off of Joaquin Phoenix, she may very well be. -- nm - Spawn Aug 4, 10:57 1
      - yeah, i think they might be pretty amazing together. -- nm - Andie Aug 4, 11:22
- Welp. -- nm - The Allfather Aug 4, 10:28 1
  - This news took my chances of me seeing that film from -10 to -50. (NM) - Marlowe Aug 4, 13:11
- I know this is oddly specific but I think Gaga has a habit of holding her head chin down and Harley needs a chin level or up. - Max Aug 4, 10:09
- As talented as she is, I’m sure there will be no comparisons made between her and Margot. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 09:57 2
  - Can Margot sing? (I don't know the answer). This is reportedly a musical? -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 11:53

Biden has tested positive again for COVID-19, -- nm - budice Aug 4, 09:40 7
- starting to think he's got the Long Covid -- nm - Jovian Aug 4, 10:00 4
  - He doesn't seem to have symptoms. That's more the sign of long Covid. Testing can be different for different people. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 10:25
  - Typically with the new variant long covid is much more rare than the OG and Delta. -- nm - sycor Aug 4, 10:05
  - I don't think it works that way, actually. That's all about residual immune/autoimmune symptoms, not positive tests. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 10:01 1
    - Old dude with compromised immune system -- nm - budice Aug 4, 10:02
- He's the Dennis Rodman of Covid rebound. -- nm - pmb Aug 4, 09:51

  - Boy the voters hate me this year. Been clubbed in the rankings 3 straight games, and we won 2 of those and lost the other in OT. - Barons Barons Barons Aug 4, 10:23 4
    - I choked away the 5th game again toPittsburgh but I didn’t think there was a chance in hell I’d be 6-2 through the first 8 given that schedule -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 10:34 3
      - Our D has been very weak again this season, and I don't understand it. Almost everyone is rated Good or higher. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 4, 10:54 2
        
        Only thing I see is maybe you're a little short on the 3/4 ... a 6'6 PF isn't much and a 6'6 SF if he's ATHL G/E will be okay. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 11:15 1
        
        The reserve PF gets lots of playtime. He's the stronger defender. I am going to try flipping my SF again. All E rebounding line-up is a go. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 4, 11:51
Years past the El Paso shooting, a call to declare an invasion bubbles under the 2022 Gov race. -- (link) - Qale As Folk Aug 4, 09:26 3

  - I can't decide what the worst part of Operation Lone Star was. The money wasted, the ineffectual optics of all those cars lined up, or... - Qale As Folk Aug 4, 09:39
