- I didn't even know you had moved to Nevada! -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 21:18 2
  - I haven't! -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 21:19 1
    - Then why are you voting there? -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 21:45
This is weird and impressive. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 16, 21:15 1

I know I'm late to the party but "I don't care if there is a drought. I have water pressure for days" cracks me up more than it should -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 21:04 1
- Also NYT has now entered the conspiracy to gaslight me into believing Wet Leg is a thing. - crash davis Oct 16, 21:11

Escape Clause (Virgil Flowers #9): 3/5 stars. A side effect of building a series around a joke character is that the series is a joke. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 19:50 8
- bah, I really liked Escape Clause and I like Virgil Flowers. If you want grim, go with Lucas Davenport. Escape Clause has (spoiler) - crash davis Oct 16, 20:16 7
  - Oh, yes, the back half is pretty good. 4.5/5 on its own. I was quite unimpressed with the first half, hence the low score. Was originally thinking 2. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 16, 20:40 6
    - As for the joke part ... - Beryllium Oct 16, 20:41 5
      - Question: is this your first Virgil Flowers book? - crash davis Oct 16, 20:51 2
        
        Hmm, not sure. I didn't think so, but seeing that the main other one I remember is a Prey book ... lemme check. - Beryllium Oct 16, 20:53 1
        
        I like the later ones, esp. Holy Ghost, because they are so much lighter than the Prey novels. Trish liked him once Frankie entered the picture -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 20:58
      - I read another flowers one a while back that I liked a bit more. - Beryllium Oct 16, 20:48 1

Norway is out. Canada was looking for bear spray. I thought it was some brand name for something, but no, there was a bear sighting on their trail. -- nm - Dano Oct 16, 19:04 3

G4TV Shuts Down again -- (edited) - budice Oct 16, 16:19 2
- It was poorly executed. There's a place for G4, but what this was... this wasn't it. -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 16:29
- The return lasted exactly 11 months. - David Oct 16, 16:28
I guess Herschel's out solving a crime, he'll be there when he's done. -- (link) - Tim Oct 16, 16:19 10
- He stated he would only participate in 1 debate. So while it looks odd, it's not unexpected. -- nm - MDH Oct 16, 16:32 7
  - heh -- (link) - Tim Oct 16, 16:33 6
    - “Empty podium does less damage than actual candidate” -- nm - spamlet Oct 16, 16:55 1

I believe we've discussed Amouranth before. Men are mad online that she said on stream that she's married (and the relationship is abusive) - Tim Oct 16, 15:44 6
- Do these people think they're on some really elaborate version of The Bachelorette? - Reagen Oct 16, 20:08

Georgia 1, THE Ohio State 2, Tennessee 3, Michigan 4, Clemson 5, Alabama 6, Ole Miss 7, TCU 8, UCLA 9, Oregon 10 -- (link) - Beaker Oct 16, 13:57 5
- Bama's still gonna weasel their way into the playoff somehow, aren't they? -- nm - Barynn Oct 16, 15:08 4
  - They gotta win out, win the SEC Title game and hope whoever loses the UT / Uga game loses decisively. - Will Hunting Oct 16, 17:32
  - It's tougher this year with Ole Miss also undefeated. -- nm - David Oct 16, 15:10 1
    - Yep and that game is at Ole Miss. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 16, 15:11
  - 100% -- nm - Beaker Oct 16, 15:09
as great as SEC athletic departments are at extracting cash from their marks, i'm only surprised the goalposts aren't made of 24k gold already -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 16, 13:52 1
- The inference of your post is that they will be soon? -- nm - Mop Oct 16, 15:08
OK, The Athletic's app lists the Blue Jackets as "0-3-0". Normally I'd expect that second "0" to be ties, but is that overtime losses? -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 13:39 5
- yes -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 13:46
- W-L-OTL (NFL iirc is W-L-T. NHL used to be the same until OT Rules changed to Sudden Death w/shootout) -- nm* - budice Oct 16, 13:41 3
  - And an otl won't also show up in the L column, right? So at the end of the season all the numbers will add up to 82? -- nm - Ender Oct 16, 13:48 2
    - yes for example last year the Kraken were 27-49-6 -- nm - crash davis Oct 16, 13:53
    - OTL still nets a point, unlike losses during regulation. You'll find a lot of Road Teams strategize to net the OTL point, then try for the win in OT. Wins are 2 points no matter what. OTL point credits effort. -- nm* - budice Oct 16, 13:50
