- Hand size finally comes back to bite him. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 23, 20:11
Say what you will about House of Dragon but it has some very very intense scenes. I’d almost say ‘triggering’. - Volnelk Oct 23, 20:09 3
- but there are funny tweets tonight! spoiler -- (link) - mud Oct 23, 20:17 2

    - they were on solid ground until they ran out of books -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 20:57 1
      - The series went South fast with the pointless Sand Snakes and forward, whatever season that was. - Marlowe Oct 23, 21:07
  - wrong again. tsk - mud Oct 23, 20:20

Doctor Who: Wasn't the entire universe except Earth destroyed in the crappy Flux season? Did they fix that? -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 19:59 5
- yeah -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 20:13 3
  - OK, I'll chalk that up to the finale being utterly incomprehensible drivel. -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 20:15 2
    - nah the finale was excellent. FLux was terrible. Doctor Who is always crazy ass -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 20:20 1
      - FTR, by "finale" I mean the Flux finale, not tonight's episode. I'm 30 minutes into that. -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 20:23
- I’m a couple years behind so haven’t seen Flux, but it wouldn’t be the first time. -- nm - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 23, 20:06

and you thought Air Canada canceling your flights was bad -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 19:08 5
- but I don't really understand this situation. I watch TV and the commercials clearly show that you can film a Hollywood movie on the new iPhone -- nm - crash davis Oct 23, 19:19 1
  - Indeed. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 23, 19:21
- sounds like she is having Nunavut - crash davis Oct 23, 19:15
- Yikes. Still no resolution as of 6 hours ago. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 19:12 1

  - "This is not madness. I have worked with Kinski." -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 19:31
- he got shot 3 times and ate 14 ghost peppers -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 19:05 1
  - "I found the gunshots to be quite effective at numbing the pain of the peppers." -- nm - Beryllium Oct 23, 19:06
Renee Paquette just reminded me that Reagen used to like Tom Green, and now I'm sad for him all over again. - David Oct 23, 18:52 7

  - so a nails on a blackboard version of a nails on a blackboard trope -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 19:56
  - i was this week old when i learned Stephen Tobolowsky shot an entire plotline for FGF that ultimately got cut out -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 19:00 2
    - I didn’t know that either—maybe they should’ve cut the baby swinging scene and put that in, instead -- nm - Flavorize Oct 23, 19:01 1
      - #ReleaseTheToboCut -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 19:06
  - ~daddy would you like some sausage~ -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 18:57
  - You...shouldn't do that. -- nm - David Oct 23, 18:55
so we gave our swing set my FIL built to our neighbours yesterday. our kids are too old and they have 3 under 6. had planned to sell it but figured - Beaker Oct 23, 18:41 2

- That's the way the world *should* work. -- nm - Meg Oct 23, 18:53
Listening to SITV discuss the TNF follow-up, and expecting to hear a specific word. Have not heard it yet. - Beryllium Oct 23, 18:30 2

- like should i get Shooter to autograph Secret wars #1? #8? both?! -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 18:24 3
  - Shooter Secret Wars 8, Sam De La Rosa, worked on 1st apperance of Carnage Amazing Spidey 361, 362, 363 -- nm - Remlik Oct 23, 18:40 1
    - I have all of those :) cool thanks! -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 18:41

Honestly, seven games in I expected Seattle to be hopelessly buried at the bottom of the NFC West - and Denver on top of the AFC West -- nm* - crash davis Oct 23, 17:34 5
- I keep forgetting they're not in the AFC West anymore. It's only been 20 years. -- nm - Barynn Oct 23, 18:15
- It helps that literally everyone is mediocre. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 17:42 3
  - parity for the bookies, babeee -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 17:43 2
    - I was just saying earlier tonight that I'm very glad I burned through my gambling desire in my early 30s. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 17:44 1
      - Did you call him Gamblor? -- nm - con_carne Oct 23, 19:00
whats the sunday night game? cause it better not be a boring matchup -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 17:02 2
- Doctor Who vs dragons -- nm - peglegpete Oct 23, 17:03 1
  - i should watch that some day. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 17:06
If Brett Rypien can score 9 points without costing 40mil, Russell Wilson is wildly overpaid. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 16:27 17
- This season could have a strange lingering impact regarding analytics and salary cap management regarding QBs. - David Oct 23, 16:30 16
  - Well, Trent Dilfer did win a Superbowl. -- nm - budice Oct 23, 16:34 4
    - and Tom Brady was drafted in the sixth round. analytics can eat a bag of dicks -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 16:36 3
      - Dilfer had $450k base and got $500k bonus with the Ravens. Then got dumped like the rented mule he was. -- nm* - budice Oct 23, 16:40 2
        
        still better than the way they fucked themselves out of six years by not paying Joe Flacco before his Super Bowl MVP season -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 16:45 1
        
        Figure we'd stir some Ravens fan ash. -- nm - budice Oct 23, 16:47
  - Wasn’t that Russ on the Seahawks re: your IM? Thought it was. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 23, 16:32 9
    - Yes but the cap drain has grown more dramatic. Watson costs $55M against the cap next year. That's 1/4th of the expected cap. - David Oct 23, 16:43
    - 2nd season. - Reagen Oct 23, 16:37 7
      - Russ made 650k the year he won the Super Bowl. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 17:08 5
        
        Flacco was only 6.6% of the cap when he won. -- nm - David Oct 23, 17:34 4
        
        Right. Then he signed big money in 2013. 30mil hit in 2013 out of a cap figure of 130mil. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 17:45 3
        
        That's the thing. Rodgers is the back to back MVP, but the deal he signed this off-season looks like a killer. -- nm - David Oct 23, 17:54 2
        
        Only reason I didn’t include him was absent Brady, the qb declines come so quick in that age range. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 17:58 1
        
        They 100% wish they'd traded him. No doubt in my mind. Right now, he's just destroying the confidence of these rookie WRs. -- nm - David Oct 23, 18:38
      - yeah but David said a Rookie salary QB, i.e. on their Rookie contract, which Russ would have been right? -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 16:38
  - Like Russell in 2014? - Will Hunting Oct 23, 16:32
The campaign ads during football are insane. Where is Julian Edelman running for a seat? -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 16:27
easily my best betting weekend yet. Giants, Jets (2 seperate bets), KC and Tennessee plus Arizone Thursday... -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 16:22 2
- AND 2-0 in Blood feud. -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 16:35
- Flavorize wins the weekend though :) -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 16:24
Jets win! Jets win! Woooooooooo!!! -- nm - Krusty Oct 23, 16:20 3
- yet you also lost. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 16:20 2
  - Huh?? - Krusty Oct 23, 16:21 1
    - ok. you get 5 mins. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 16:22
San Diego sports is really having a day -- (link) - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 16:18
Moron should realize he should be closing the lid everytime so he doesn't aerosolize germs through the whole damn room. -- (link) - Reagen Oct 23, 16:15 1
- "I want to be married to someone whose priorities are greater than yours." -- nm - Mop Oct 23, 17:13
hello Mahomes. 423yrds and 3 tds. -- nm - tRuMaN Oct 23, 16:10
If you're in California, AT&T may owe you money, but you need to act quickly. -- (link) - David Oct 23, 16:10 4
- I left the state long before the suit counts, ATT was the better system then, but soon began to suck when the tech evolved to smart phones -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 20:03
- unfortunately for my bank account, i was never stupid enough to pay for AT&T wireless - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 16:12 2
  - Yup, same here. OTOH I'm paying them way too much for Internet and home phone. -- nm - Meg Oct 23, 16:43
  - something like this. -- nm - budice Oct 23, 16:13
"From Woke Academia to Proud Boys threatening early voters in Arizona & Nevada at gunpoint, threats to democracy remain in the eye of the beholder" -- (link*) - Not the NYT Pitchbot Oct 23, 15:57 1
- ? -- nm - Spawn Oct 23, 15:58
What the hell kind of injury update is "(Player Name) is out with an upper body injury"?! That is infuriating vagueness. -- nm - Ender Oct 23, 15:43 5
- Lack of news keeps future opponents in the dark. If it’s *serious* they’ll usually give a timeline. -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 16:10 2
  - Drai had a "LBI" through the Calgary series which had the Flames hacking at his ankle. Afterwards he said they were hitting the wrong one. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 16:12 1
    - Sweep the leg! -- nm - mafic Oct 23, 17:11
- Nicer than saying he was decapitated -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 23, 15:45
- On purpose. All you'll ever get is "upper" or "lower". -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 15:45
Breece Hall tore up his knee. -- nm - Will Hunting Oct 23, 15:29 2
- Team SHA strikes -- nm - oblique Oct 23, 18:01
- Yeah, I think he's done, which is tragic. He attained the top speed of any ballcarrier in the NFL on his TD run today. - David Oct 23, 15:38
They keep dancing on their own. -- nm - Tim Oct 23, 15:13
Phillies! -- nm - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 23, 15:13 14
- Yeah baby! -- nm - rollo Oct 23, 15:25
- I put $5 on the Phillies to win the World Series at the start of the playoffs. Now whether to cash out or let it ride. -- nm - Dano Oct 23, 15:14 12
  - What is the current vs total value? - Will Hunting Oct 23, 15:28 6
    - I can cash out for ~23 dollars now. I will likely do that. -- nm - Dano Oct 23, 15:33 5
      - if you bet $50.37 on the Astros you guarantee yourself $24.63. Which would be why the payout is $23. -- nm - Reagen Oct 23, 16:02
      - what odds are there for Houston? maybe a way to earn more by betting on them too and keeping the Phillies long shot? -- nm - Beaker Oct 23, 15:57
      - Payout if they win is $75 -- nm - Dano Oct 23, 15:36 2
        
        Hmm, that's a tough call. You're effectively getting 3-1 odds on something that's theoretically 50/50. - David Oct 23, 15:41 1
        
        I’d hedge 40 bucks on the Astros assuming they’ll be about -150 to win. - Will Hunting Oct 23, 15:59
  - Cash out. -- nm - The Allfather Oct 23, 15:18 3
    - This post is why I put money on them. -- (link) - Dano Oct 23, 15:30 [Backboard] 2
      - Awesome! -- nm - David Oct 23, 15:39 1
        
        (And endorsed by rollo!) -- nm - David Oct 23, 15:39
  - i don't think anyone is beating the Astros. -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 15:16
so does the UK also get a fresh head of lettuce when the Tories pick the new PM? -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 23, 15:11 1
- Should be a potato, will last most of a year while rotting from the inside, and poking a few eyes. -- nm* - zeitgeist Oct 23, 15:44
I think Bryce Harper waved to David as he rounded third base. -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 15:05 3
- There’s baseball on? -- nm - The Allfather Oct 23, 15:09 2
  - Not anymore -- nm - groiny Oct 23, 15:14 1
    - Well, good for that anti-vaxxer! -- nm - The Allfather Oct 23, 15:18
Goal line turnover. Long drive ending in missed FG on third down. I guess yay for the under? -- nm - JD Oct 23, 14:59
