I defy some fucker to tell me right now that global warming isn't real. - David Sep 27, 17:38 4
- a lot of the deniers have shifted to "it's not anthropogenic" -- nm - mafic Sep 27, 17:45
- Not uncommon with hurricanes, actually. -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 17:43 2
  - I know. I'm just frustrated. -- nm - David Sep 27, 17:52 1
    - Understandably. -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 17:54
Nikki says (according to Forbes) that the value of the Commanders increased 1.4B year-to-year (2021 to 2022) 😳 -- (link*) - Flavorize Sep 27, 17:35
'what does "yous laid" mean?' -- nm - prayformojo Sep 27, 17:20
So even Kipchoge can't run a WR 2:01:09 marathon entirely by himself -- (link) - JD Sep 27, 17:16 [youtube]
On the plus side, at least the new US national team jerseys are not seizure-inducing. -- (link*) - znufrii Sep 27, 16:34 18
- True, they're just dull now. The home jersey is very plain and has some weird color choice of dark blue and orange on the sleeve while there's a lighter shade of blue -- (edited) - Krusty Sep 27, 16:54 17
  - It’s basically the NY Giants uniforms, in soccer form -- nm - Flavorize Sep 27, 17:36 1
    - Which is a rather boring jersey. Soccer jerseys for the world cup have had some very interesting and cool designs. We opted for simple and dull. -- nm - Krusty Sep 27, 17:41
  - Huh? They’re white with red and blue. -- (link) - Volnelk Sep 27, 16:59 11
    - Your link doesn't go to a jersey. I linked the jersey and it's so very boring and dull. It's a plain white jersey. No style whatsoever. -- nm - Krusty Sep 27, 17:04 10
      - Could be worse... -- (link*) - znufrii Sep 27, 17:09 7

        They're even worse than that image makes them look. -- (link) - Reagen Sep 27, 17:30 1
        
        oh man, remember Alexei Lalas? -- nm - mafic Sep 27, 17:46
        
        Wow, Nike has made so many bad jerseys. I'm sure they pay a lot to be the sponsor but maybe they should look elsewhere. -- nm - Krusty Sep 27, 17:14
        
        2013 home was literally stolen from the late 70s white Sox - spamlet Sep 27, 17:10 [Image]
        
        There's way more bad than good in there. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 17:10 1
        
        Yup. -- nm - Krusty Sep 27, 17:16
      - When you get Nike jerseys, you get templates. They’re rarely individually designed. -- nm - Volnelk Sep 27, 17:08 1
        
        I see some beautiful or cool looking jersey for so many countries. It's a shame we rarely look good on the field. -- nm - Krusty Sep 27, 17:15
  - needs an eagle playing a Flying V guitar on the back of a monster truck. -- nm - Reagen Sep 27, 16:59 2

I hope he makes a full recovery. -- (link) - spamlet Sep 27, 15:53 2
- I hope he get well very soon. - Krusty Sep 27, 17:23 1

- Of course he was. -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 15:40
just got my annual sirius xm bill. $23 a month. called them up to cancel or give me a lower option. I am back to about $80 for all of the next year. -- nm - peglegpete Sep 27, 15:24 1

work question: Do you associate the word playboy with womanizing? or simply a rich traveling socialite? - Max Sep 27, 14:51 4
- used to be neuvo riche yuppie who recently graduated and got a job at a prime company in the city, now driving a sports car, wearing 2k suits, clubbin - zeitgeist Sep 27, 15:06
- both -- nm - prayformojo Sep 27, 15:02 2
  - okay, but what about not the rich guys you hobnob with, but like in general, in the news. -- nm - Max Sep 27, 15:04 1
    - socialite? -- nm - mafic Sep 27, 16:40
I always give myself extra time to get places on CTA and it always manages to eat the extra. - .🎡 Sep 27, 14:33 1

Deadpool 3 9-6-24. HJACK back as Wolverine -- (link*) - budice Sep 27, 14:00 16

  - it does look like it -- nm - Remlik Sep 27, 14:51
- Is that a gin ad? -- nm - .🎡 Sep 27, 14:34 1
  - Wrexham AFC -- nm - psilotum Sep 27, 15:48
- Why the fucking fuck would Disney announce this now? -- nm - The Allfather Sep 27, 14:29 2
  - why is that bad? -- nm - Jovian Sep 27, 14:47 1

I don't get the "dirty side" of the storm. it spins, right? so everyone gets everything? -- nm - amanda Sep 27, 13:59 5
- one side's really into butt stuff. -- nm - mafic Sep 27, 16:41
- This is a pretty good explainer -- (link) - spamlet Sep 27, 14:10
- If the storm is spinning and it's on the coast, then the right side is blowing from the ocean to the land, the left side is opposite. -- nm - Dano Sep 27, 14:02 1
  - And the forward motion and spinning motion of the storm are in the same direction on that side so it's amplified. -- nm - Dano Sep 27, 14:05
- I think because it's spinning into air current and pressure one way, and away from it the other. - Max Sep 27, 14:01
Today's win - back in August my Doc recorded my BP at 148/86 and asked me to have it re-checked in a couple of weeks. Today I decided to get my - Meg Sep 27, 13:42 8

- Yay!! -- nm - Saint Pippy Sep 27, 14:35

The idea that box office now is only tentpole releases, and the mid-range films that come out don't do well is just wrong. -- (edited) - Inigo Sep 27, 13:13 12
- excuse me, I think you mean Dragon Ball Super: Super Hero. I thought MGM was headed for mid-range stuff under De Luca until he jumped ship for WB. -- nm - mafic Sep 27, 17:26
- Tentpoles keep the lights on. -- nm - David Sep 27, 13:35 6
  - I agree for the most part, but that's not the argument you made. - Inigo Sep 27, 13:50 5
    - Tentpole and Oscar-bait to theaters, mid-range to exclusive streaming -- nm - rollo Sep 27, 16:05 1
      - as inigo (correctly) points out, that won't get it done for theaters to exist as a going concern. and studios can't afford to silo their $250m movies - hollywood big shot Sep 27, 16:18

  - It was a little more fun than I expected. But yeah. -- nm - Spawn Sep 27, 13:22

      - yea I would have to look at maybe getting dual citizenship in Italy and move there, oh wait.. -- nm - Jovian Sep 27, 13:21 2

  - yea its from 2019 I see now. But may as well have been yesterday. Dude is browned shirt nazi to the bone. -- nm - Jovian Sep 27, 13:19 1
    - See below, I was remembering reports about Oz having said something similar in the past. - znufrii Sep 27, 13:23
  - an interview from 2019 came to light in the past couple of days where he says it explicitly -- nm - decline Sep 27, 13:09 2
    - That’s probably what I remember hearing about, or something similar that also suggested as much. -- nm - znufrii Sep 27, 13:10 1
      - Nevermind, I was thinking this was about Dr. Oz, but there’s no surprise here either. -- nm* - znufrii Sep 27, 13:12

$37.5 million for that yacht sounds like a steal. -- nm - Mop Sep 27, 12:59 7
- Probably costs that much a year to maintain and crew and fuel. - Beryllium Sep 27, 13:03 6
  - It was rentable for $500K/week - decline Sep 27, 13:11 5
    - But some of those are just needed for docking, right? So if you intend to be out to sea for a long time you can jettison them and save food supply. -- nm - Max Sep 27, 13:15 4
      - Max, they become part of the food supply. -- nm - Spawn Sep 27, 13:23 3
        
        I won't eat fellow crew mates, only the sharks that have eaten the crew. -- nm - Max Sep 27, 13:28 2
