Random question. Is the arch in St. Louis worth seeing? It would be an extra day on the KY trip but I don't think I'll be that close again. - sycor Sep 1, 07:01 4
- Worth seeing if you are in St. Louis? Sure. Worth driving 300+ miles from Lexingtonish? No chance. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 1, 07:38 1
  - Agreed -- nm - JaxSean Sep 1, 07:54
- You can go up in it, if that helps sell the deal. -- nm - Barons Barons Barons Sep 1, 07:15 1
  - Rickety, tiny, panic-inducing, claustrophobic, trip from Hell. - ReluctantCynic Sep 1, 13:42
Watched the 1st 2 eps of The Patient (Hulu) with Steve Carrell and Domhnall Gleeson last night. It's really, really good. Highly recommend - decline Sep 1, 07:00 4
- Truly. Hulu used to be an afterthought streaming service for me. Now I think I watch it more than any other. -- nm - pmb Sep 1, 07:16 1
  - I like that they produce stuff as disparate as The Great and Dopesick -- nm - prayformojo Sep 1, 07:17
- Co-signing everything you said. I really wanted to continue watching the series when ep 2 ended. -- nm - prayformojo Sep 1, 07:03
- It's on my list. The preview I saw looked great. Glad the show is good and not just a good trailer. -- nm - sycor Sep 1, 07:02
Day 4 US Open Parlays (as usual, not recommended to use as betting advice) - Dano Sep 1, 06:59 2
- Twice a year I try to remember how this works. Betting $260 on Pegula would win you $100, and betting $100 on Pliskova would win you $105, right? -- nm - prayformojo Sep 1, 07:08 1
  - Yes. -- nm - Dano Sep 1, 07:11
also, very embarrassingly, I reserved two hotels for pittsburgh (honestly depending on how rich I was feeling) and then nuked my gmail inbox - amanda Sep 1, 06:48 10

  - that was my first stop. (I found the expensive one very easily by sorting hotels highest price to lowest on google. it was the second one.) -- nm - amanda Sep 1, 06:59
- Did you find it? I'd reverse and look through the apps on my phone for hotels (I usually would only book someplace where I get points for booking) - oblique Sep 1, 06:56 1
  - I don't have hotel apps on my phone. I don't travel enough for that. (also I am very app-averse.) -- nm - amanda Sep 1, 06:58
- do you use google calendar? my reservations usually get put on my calendar automatically if the reservation went to gmail. you could check? -- nm - Andie Sep 1, 06:49 1
  - oh that's smart. nothing there, though. (I used a reseller like hotels.com or something.) -- nm - amanda Sep 1, 06:58

- You're still coming to the Harrisburg show, right? -- nm - Dano Sep 1, 07:16 1
  - yes. I had tickets to two shows the same week and decided to bail on pittsburgh bc while the venue is lovelier, it's also indoors. - amanda Sep 1, 07:29
- I'd post them for $350-400 right now and if they don't sell in a couple of days I'd lower them to $300 or so -- nm - Krusty Sep 1, 06:41
- 1 million dollars -- nm - decline Sep 1, 06:40

Another lousy Russian window -- (link) - Reagen Sep 1, 03:18 2

Student loan forgiveness: I assume this is a one-time deal, yes? If you get a loan tomorrow, you’re back underwater..? -- nm - Mop Aug 31, 22:20 12

    - Me too. - Dark Callisto Sep 1, 07:21
- That was my understanding. This makes it a dumb election-season stunt, and not a solution. - Beryllium Aug 31, 22:22 5
  - Where are you getting this nonsense? -- nm - con_carne Sep 1, 06:07
  - If it was only that, perhaps so. But it's not. There's more. - Qale Aug 31, 22:53 2
    - Ooh, nice! -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 22:53 1
      - It's also what he campaigned on, so if it's an election stunt it's one from 3 years ago, not today. -- nm - Qale Aug 31, 23:10
  - It makes it easy to criticize as such, I should say. Quite impactful for the people it helps. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 31, 22:50
Heheheheheh -- (link) - Beryllium Aug 31, 21:56 2

I think my favorite parts of Woodstock 99 episode 2 are that neither Limp Biskit nor Fatboy Slim are relevant in 2022. -- nm - Qale Aug 31, 21:29 7
- I think my favorite part of Woodstock 99 is I skipped it and watched Bodyguard instead. -- nm - Spawn Aug 31, 21:50 6

      - Three people did die at Woodstock 99. But yes, I was amazed it wasn't more. -- (edited) - Andie Sep 1, 06:44 1
