        (though on second thought that could be read as "please pardon my tote") -- nm - Max Aug 25, 07:04
      - ohhhhhhhhh -- nm - amanda Aug 25, 07:02
  - ok Mr. Grumpypants -- nm - decline Aug 25, 06:40 7

      - do you have jersey mike's there? I am wondering what sandwich people say about how they compare. -- nm - amanda Aug 25, 07:04 5
        
        I get two different type of sandwiches at each. I like them both a lot. - St. Epiphany Aug 25, 07:13
        
        I'd have to drive past two Taco Bells to get to the first JM, but from my recollection they're superior to Jimmy Johns. -- nm - Max Aug 25, 07:05
        
        I like Jimmy Johns better -- nm - decline Aug 25, 07:05 2

We had a friend stay in our house as they were between places, for the almost 2 months we were out of town. Bad idea, turns out. - colin Aug 25, 06:11 13
- damn, that sucks. -- nm - St. Epiphany Aug 25, 07:27
- That's so disrespectful. They're not friends to you, but you are to them. -- nm - Inigo Aug 25, 07:08
- wtf is wrong with people? -- nm - znufrii Aug 25, 06:31 1
  - they have said in the past things like "i don't want to ask my friend for this favor because it might ruin our friendship".. and then would ask us - colin Aug 25, 06:39
- ugh, that is gross -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 06:25 4
  - we did talk about the compost.. they are neurodiverse and have trouble with things.. so they finally tossed it, didn't keep any more. - colin Aug 25, 06:41 3
    - Everyone's got issues ... some more than others ... but its your job to deal with your own. Avoidance isn't a strategy. -- nm* - Reagen Aug 25, 07:29
    - I could see my SIL doing this. It is one reason I refuse to let them stay at our place at The Lake when we aren't there -- (edited) - Beaker Aug 25, 06:45 1
      - that's tough. i want to believe in people, but i know some folks just don't have the same consideration. -- nm - colin Aug 25, 07:22
- Yikes. Were you in contact at all during the 2 months? Have you asked them about the missing dishes? -- nm - mara Aug 25, 06:17 3
  - we were talking to them the whole time, they were insisting the yard was looking good, etc. have not asked them yet... we're going to have a full - colin Aug 25, 06:38 2
    - Sheesh, who says things like that, knowing you'll eventually find out they were lying the whole time? Practically sociopathic. -- nm - mara Aug 25, 06:49 1
      - knowing them, i think it's a strong desire for it to be true.. that maybe by saying it, it will motivate them to do it so it's NOT a lie. - colin Aug 25, 07:23
The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs song is my current favorite song to run to. -- (link) - Dano Aug 25, 05:59 [youtube]
Hmm. I'm listening... -- (link) - Reagen Aug 25, 05:51
T = 70 + 0.5E + 15F - 10S -- (link) - LMS Aug 25, 05:36 1
- The model fails to account for whether the sibling was, in fact, on the child's side. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 25, 06:16
indeed, I hope there aren't 8 or 9 more of these scandals -- (link) - Reagen Aug 25, 05:09 9
- Huh, and I'd always heard Finns were introverted. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 25, 06:21 7
  - That's part of why these are scandals -- nm - Roger More Aug 25, 06:27 6
    - For sure. Most introverted country in the world. - Dark Callisto Aug 25, 06:39 5
      - M lived there for a semester. They've pinned the introvert scale ...until they get drunk, then it pins all the way the other direction. -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 07:16
      - Yes! We can go together...and not interact. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 25, 06:59
      - You don't think the reason they might be introverted in the first place is because they used to be Russia and are right next to Russia - con_carne Aug 25, 06:52 2
        
        No, introversion is pretty well scientifically documented to be fairly genetic. - Dark Callisto Aug 25, 07:04
        
        You don't know any Finns, do you? - Andie Aug 25, 07:04
- Knew what this was going to be based on your words -- nm - con_carne Aug 25, 06:18
Aquaman And The Lost Kingdom moves from March 17, 2023, to December 25, 2023 -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 04:47 12

  - Avatar 2 scared them. - Will Hunting Aug 25, 05:14 6
    - Nah, this is just more Zaslav cost cutting and shell game BS. -- nm - Inigo Aug 25, 06:14
    - that's a huge time move for Aquaman. I've seen a few things saying WB doesn't have the cash to open another movie in 2022 so that is driving the moves -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 05:20 4
      - I'd also bet hard on "it suuuuuuuuucks" -- nm - Reagen Aug 25, 05:27 2
        
        (the Black Adam first viewings apparently scored on par with what Batgirl got, so this would not be a shocker...) -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 05:28 1
        
        I'm pretty sure the "Batgirl test screenings were bad" is a lie peddled by WB to justify what they did. - Dark Callisto Aug 25, 05:52
      - If they are that cash-poor, postponing is...a choice. - Will Hunting Aug 25, 05:23

    - 2: Harley and She-Hulk (tonight I'll actually be watching The Sandman epi 11 and The Old Man epi 2 however) -- nm* - Beaker Aug 25, 04:43 1
      - cutting the previously and closing credits, She Hulk ep2 barely has 22 minutes of content, and it felt short. - Max Aug 25, 04:54

Chick Hulk ep2 - Max Aug 25, 02:25
Hmm, for some reason a bunch of Star Trek movies are leaving Paramount Plus at the end of the month. You'd think they'd have this figured out by now.. -- nm - Ender Aug 25, 02:22 1
- A bunch of them are being re-issued in the cinema here so might be to do with that. -- nm - LMS Aug 25, 02:45

Wait, the world championship unification match wasn't even the main event on Dynamite??? -- nm - Ender Aug 25, 00:18 2
- mild spoiler - Tim Aug 25, 00:21 1
  - I’m real curious as to what the last two weeks of backstage have been like. This…makes no logical sense from a planning sense. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 25, 04:17
just made it to my favourite line of dialog in the entirety of Lower Decks (which I'm rewatching - S2E5) - Beryllium Aug 24, 23:55
"You little jerks get no respect, we wipe you out like Biden did student debt." *big pop* - Tim Aug 24, 23:24 5
- Unofficially since they hit Kane, officially since they got jumped by the Ass Boys -- nm - David Aug 24, 23:33 4
  - I guess the hilariously inappropriate catchphrase helps too -- nm - Tim Aug 24, 23:38 1
    - I'm pretty bummed they broke up the fivesome so soon. It was working shockingly well. -- nm - David Aug 24, 23:39
  - the ... what? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 24, 23:35 1
    - You heard me. - David Aug 24, 23:39
Hulu's reboot of Hellraiser, October 7th. -- (link) - Mop Aug 24, 23:13 1

PLP, did you get more rain tonight. Just saw roads south of Bullhead city, around Oatman, are closed. -- nm - Meg Aug 24, 23:09 2
- none. that area is not close -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 24, 23:21 1
  - No, but these monsoons are wide-ranging and fast moving. I got the word from a friend in Ft. Mohave. -- nm - Meg Aug 24, 23:24
cool, thought I'd give Sandman a try and there is Jenna Coleman playing Constantine -- nm - crash davis Aug 24, 23:07 11
- I'm hoping to see a spinoff series of this. I am well aware the last Constantine series was a floparoonie. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 25, 06:48 2
  - your face was a flop. Matt Ryan was an awesome Constantine and got another bunch of years playing him on Legends of Tomorrow -- nm - Beaker Aug 25, 07:03 1
    - Sorry, I should've clarified that I was only speaking to its commercial success as measured by longevity, not the quality of its product. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Aug 25, 07:21
- I trust you've already watched The Cry and The Tourist already? -- nm - LMS Aug 25, 02:42 7
  - The Tourist is such a good show. I'm surprised more people aren't/weren't watching and talking about it. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 25, 05:13 6
    - It was the year's biggest new drama in the UK (12 million viewers), I guess HBO aren't promoting it as much. -- nm - LMS Aug 25, 05:38 5
      - I only know about it because I saw it when searching around on HBO. I never saw advertising for it anywhere. - Krusty Aug 25, 05:43 4
        
        Giri Haji was treated terribly by Netflix. It won BAFTAs here, wasn't even mentioned or entered for the Emmys by Netflix. -- nm - LMS Aug 25, 05:47 3
        
        It's really surprising what they choose to focus their attention and promotions on here. - Krusty Aug 25, 06:19
        
        Have you watched The Responder with Martin Freeman or Time with Sean Bean yet? -- nm - LMS Aug 25, 05:48 1
