- Amy is coming back to us? - zork Oct 5, 16:36
- Hmm. Just sent two emails for two accounts, because I misremembered the username in your first post about it. Maybe that worked? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 16:10 2
  - Ah, one of them bounced back as an invalid email address (a yahoo one) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 16:15 1
    - Anyway. I set the same PW on both accounts, so as long as one email gets through it'll work for both -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 16:16
- just give her yours - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 15:49 3

  - Glenn got fired from a CBS show and lost his overall deal for workplace abuse so I suspect no -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 15:33
  - he's not saying. But I bet this takes a LONG time to get music clearances and to clean up the show -- nm - Remlik Oct 5, 15:32 11
    - barely anybody watched it when it was on network TV 35 years ago. it's probably not going to be a much easier sell today - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 15:36 10
      - okay Jovian. Top ten in season three is hardly barely anybody. -- nm - Max Oct 5, 15:40 8
        
        nobody was a bigger fan/viewer at its peak, but most of the good shows i followed at that time were always on the bubble of being canceled -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 15:54

  - His rotator cuff is apparently fraying. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 5, 15:33 1
    - Someone must have snuck him a tomato. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 15:43

Someone should start a band called "Ounce of Prevention" and have them open for The Cure -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 14:27 13
- Frank Zappa and Zappa Plays Zappa -- nm - peglegpete Oct 5, 15:46

      - I wonder if the Traveling Wilburys ever drove around in an REO Speedwagon? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 5, 15:24

transactional lawyers, is it bad when your lead financing pulls out of a deal the day after client had you send a letter affirming an intent to close? -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 13:46 10
- Or he know damn well they wanted to pull out. He only has to perform if the debt is there and available to him. - spamlet Oct 5, 14:17 4
  - Not necessarily. I don't know what the court ordered, but his offer had no financing contingency. -- nm - pmb Oct 5, 14:24 3
    - Hmm, I thought it did but I guess not. -- nm* - spamlet Oct 5, 14:36
    - right. but short of sending the goon squad to shake $44b out of his pockets, i presume he's going to do the deadbeat shell game of transferring assets - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 14:29 1
      - Probably, although that's a lot harder when we all know what the assets are (Tesla stock) and it's a US company. It's a classic fraudulent conveyance. -- nm - pmb Oct 5, 14:42
- If you're Twitter, fair assessment to say you're popping champagne? - Will Hunting Oct 5, 14:07 2
  - define "Twitter" whoever stands to get paid (if Musk ever does ultimately pay, of which i remain skeptical) may still feel secure. the rest of them? - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 14:15 1
    - Which will be an excellent way to set fire to $44 billion. -- nm - Reagen Oct 5, 14:16
- pulling out is never an effective strategy -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:47 1
  - Abstinence is the only proven method. -- nm - colin Oct 5, 13:47

- I finally finished For All Mankind and am now working on finishing Strange New Worlds. Disney stuff is next -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:46 2
  - For All Mankind was a good season. Hope they wrap up in season 4. -- nm - colin Oct 5, 13:53 1
    - I didn’t like either son’s story arc this year. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 5, 15:23
- as much as i appreciated Gilroy's letting the first two episodes breathe with character work (versus Mandalorian's serial style) not much is happening -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 13:44
Federal appeals court expedites consideration of DOJ challenge to special master -- (link) - oblique Oct 5, 13:36 1
- the day after Justice Thomas basically told him to kick rocks. - Jovian Oct 5, 14:42
Walgreens is telling me to get a flu shot and booster at the same time. ST is telling me to do them separately, right? -- nm - Max Oct 5, 13:29 12
- I am doing them separately because of the timing. But even if I wasn’t… I’d still be doing them separately because I know what’ll happen. -- nm - Qale Oct 5, 17:01
- My boss did both and she had no issues beyond the sore arm. -- nm - Barynn Oct 5, 15:33
- Travel doc yesterday said they’d do up to 8 at a time. -- nm - mafic Oct 5, 15:09 1
  - *They* would, but would you? ;) -- nm - Meg Oct 5, 15:13
- The main reason they advise doing them both at the same time is to make sure people do both. If you know you're going to do both, separately is fine. -- nm - mara Oct 5, 14:18
- Just don't get shingles at the same time as others. -- nm - Dark Callisto Oct 5, 13:39 1
  - *nods* -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:45
- my friend who is a doctor (of pigs but whatever) told me to wait two weeks for flu based on maps he's seeing. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 13:32 1
  - I just have a normal fragile human heart. -- nm - Max Oct 5, 13:33
- *slaps you around* You could act like a man - Don Corleone Oct 5, 13:30 1
  - I'm approaching this like major surgery and trying to put it on my calendar for least amount of work impact from downtime. -- nm - Max Oct 5, 13:32
- Nah. I did them both at the same time -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:29
Recommendation on opening a bank account (who's gonna give me the best freebies?) and what are the gotchas? -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:27 11
- Along with NerdWallet, as suggested, also check BankRate -- (link) - mara Oct 5, 14:02
- Reddit churners have a weekly thread on this -- (link) - colin Oct 5, 13:49 5
  - Makes my use of Chase points seem like child's play when I read their stuff - oblique Oct 5, 13:54 2
    - Yeah, it's a lot. I'll do one of the very big points ones about once a year, but only will do what I can pay for with real purchases - colin Oct 5, 13:56
    - wait till you hear how many points the Rockefellers get from owning Chase Bank -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 13:55
  - Chase $300 checking, $200 savings, $100 bonus for both seems to be the best - colin Oct 5, 13:52 1
    - I think I see that one, but it's $1,500, not $15k, no? -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 14:32
- Freebies? Ha! - spamlet Oct 5, 13:33 1
  - Gotta be in person. I've got a good online bank but I have stuff that can only be done in person. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 14:31
- 1st note to teller: "Hand me all your money." 2nd note: "Gotcha. I have money to deposit into a new account." -- nm - Max Oct 5, 13:30
- I suggest perusing NerdWallet. They often have good summaries of the latest promotions -- nm - oblique Oct 5, 13:29
resolved: Bros would have had a better chance at the box office with Dan Levy playing the Billy Eichner part and a Matt Bomer-level star as the hunk -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 13:24 5
- I think the problem in is that most straight men dont ever want to go see a romcom on a good day and usually get dragged by their girlfriend or wife. -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 5, 14:16
- Dan Levy isn't a draw for gays. But since he is for straights who knows what would have happened. -- nm - MDH Oct 5, 14:06 1
  - i just don't think Billy was schlubby or Ugly Duckling enough for that role, aside from not having the level of visibility as Dan had on Schitts Creek -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 5, 14:35
- I know nothing of the movie, but as soon as I see Billy Eichner, I'm a hard pass to anything. - Will Hunting Oct 5, 13:58 1
  - Same. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 5, 14:04
Wait. So two "Democrats" in the Oregon governor race might split the vote so they wind up with a Republican governor? -- nm - Dano Oct 5, 13:22 3
- One's an independent candidate with some likely funding from conservatives hoping to split the hope. She's hardly a good candidate for Oregon. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:24 2
  - hey, that's our schtick -- nm - DSA Oct 5, 13:25 1
    - Though this is in the general election, not the primary. -- nm - Dano Oct 5, 13:26
Suggest normal people fillup on gas with the cut just announced -- nm - budice Oct 5, 13:18 4
- Already full $3.09/gal -- nm - colin Oct 5, 13:57 1
  - $6.35 on Friday and I think it's gone up since. -- nm - Meg Oct 5, 13:59
- good idea. I'll go charge tonight. maybe get taco bell for dinner. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 5, 13:27 1
  - He said *normal* people... - Mop Oct 5, 13:28
I'm surprised that a Phil Robertson biopic would be favorable, except that his family is involved, so of course. - Mop Oct 5, 13:16
The fact that either PA race is as close as indicate is disheartening. Especially the GOV race as the GOP candidate appears to be MIA. -- nm - Mop Oct 5, 13:13 1
- 37% as a base for *ANY* Republican seems about right for PA. -- nm - Dano Oct 5, 13:16
