- Somebody at work is driving a Ford Bronco Sport that looks... nice. - Strongbad Oct 24, 13:40 3
  - If Ford had a hybrid version of the Bronco, I'd put it at the top of my list. - ReluctantCynic Oct 24, 13:45
  - Yeah I don’t typically like SUVs but someone in our neighborhood has a red one that makes me check it out twice. -- nm - spamlet Oct 24, 13:45 1
    - This one is a wolf gray color that a lot of the new cars have. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 13:50
Alijah Vera-Tucker is a huge loss for the Jets. Breece is a tough loss but AVT was the MVP of the team to this point. - Krusty Oct 24, 13:28

- He's cabbage -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 13:34
Actually if the 2024 MLB schedule lined up well with the eclipse, I could possibly do both the Yankees and Blue Jays. - crash davis Oct 24, 13:02 3
- ahhh and those will be the '24 Yanks. 2023 defending World Champs with newly signed Ohtani and Judge now year 2 in his 10year record breaking contract - Jovian Oct 24, 13:06 2

DTL: Spam, kmoney said he'd update it later today. Thanks for the suggestion. - Barynn Oct 24, 12:53 15
- Since you won't be using anymore, did you update your calcs in the past few seasons? -- nm - spamlet Oct 24, 13:17 4
  - I haven't updated for a while. I had enough data that the parameter estimates had gotten pretty stable. - Barynn Oct 24, 13:30 3
    - Ok thanks for sharing all of that and I am sorry to see you go. -- (edited) - spamlet Oct 24, 13:35 2
      - I’m the inverse…I have had a dickens of a time getting re-engaged after my title team. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 13:39 1

  - I gotta agree with this -- nm - rollo Oct 24, 13:08 6
    - And that's The Champion talking! -- nm - David Oct 24, 13:17 5

        Isn't it great? -- nm - David Oct 24, 13:21 3
        
        I think as far as fandom, playing relevant baseball in October has to be in the #1 spot. Especially since the tenor of the game is so different -- nm - rollo Oct 24, 13:23 2
        
        It's amazing how you live and die on every pitch. Just having the count against you is terrifying. -- nm - David Oct 24, 13:25
        
        I don't like the Phanatic. And yet his team remains my final hope. 😺 -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 13:25

      - I'd heard about the celebrations here but didn't watch closely enough to get the connection with "light over darkness." -- nm - Meg Oct 24, 13:12
  - 0 -- nm - peglegpete Oct 24, 12:55
On FB I'm getting St Jude's 'ads' for "3,000 push up challenge for November." That's 100 pushups per day for 30 days. STPoll: Could you do that? - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:43 31
- Not at the moment. But I’m trying to get there. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 13:38
- I'll try it -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 13:14
- I do 40 every morning, have for years. I could repeat it later in the day, so maybe after a week of that I could up it to 100 .. (?) -- nm - mud Oct 24, 13:14 5
  - I just tested this. easily did another 40 (~4 hrs after the morning 40) -- nm - mud Oct 24, 13:24 4
    - Hell, you should be good for 120! - Spawn Oct 24, 13:28 3

        Phil Collins Best of Genesis Boxset! -- nm - Remlik Oct 24, 13:31 1
        
        blechh -- nm - mud Oct 24, 13:32
- I could. But that's a lot of effort I'm not really interested in putting out. -- nm - pmb Oct 24, 13:10
- nope. I wouldnt be able to type after a couple of days from the strain put on my hands - tRuMaN Oct 24, 13:09 1
  - Knuckles? -- nm - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 24, 13:10
- I think so. You don't have to do all 100 at once. I think I could do it by breaking them up if I could remember to do them. -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 12:59 2
  - I should consider giving this a try. I really should add some upper body strength training to my running. -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 13:12 1
    - Make sure you mix it up with different exercises like pull up, rows, dips, etc. -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 13:29
- 100 a day is no problem and I could probably do it every day but I wouldn't want to. Your body needs rest days and I normally do pushups as part of - Krusty Oct 24, 12:57
- Hell no -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 12:54
- over the course of a full day, probably. For 30 days in a row...oof. I'd have to break them up but we routinely do pushups at the gym but generally - oblique Oct 24, 12:51
- I dub this thread: -- (link) - prayformojo Oct 24, 12:51 [Image] 1
  - I'm sort of wondering what percentage of the US population *COULD* do it, regardless of age. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:55
- just do one on the first day, and double each day. -- nm - psilotum Oct 24, 12:49
- My long arms are ill-suited. Give me a task where I can use leverage. -- nm - Barynn Oct 24, 12:49 1
  - You should see me attempt a military press. It's downright comical. -- nm - Barynn Oct 24, 12:54
- if ten each hour for ten hours a day counted, then possibly sure -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:49 1
  - I already do pushups around the clock! -- nm - Harrison Ford Oct 24, 13:17
- Nope. -- (edited) - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 24, 12:48 2
  - Apparently I overestimated. - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 24, 12:57 1
    - Just do 10 at the top of every hour from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM -- nm - Dano Oct 24, 13:01
- No chance with my shoulder. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:47
- a few years ago I probably could but no way could I now -- nm - decline Oct 24, 12:47
- I'm in! I'll give it a try -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 12:44

"Spanning a distance of 410 miles, a road trip From New York To Niagara Falls will take you about 6 hours and 45 minutes" - crash davis Oct 24, 12:35 30
- We really enjoyed the Canadian side of the falls when we visited with the kids. If that's an option, you might enjoy that. - oblique Oct 24, 12:42 16
  - is there anything to do in Toronto besides sit in an igloo and ice fish? - crash davis Oct 24, 12:45 13
    - You need to be there with people who know their way around. Too bad Mrs. Disney is living in the Maritimes now. She knew all the best bars!! ;-) -- nm - Meg Oct 24, 13:34
    - Depending on exactly where you are in Idaho, Toronto might be south of you. -- nm - Reagen Oct 24, 13:13
    - I take back most of my "always cold in Canada" jokes. It was hot as f*ck when we were there in August - and that's from a Floridian. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:57
    - Oh look, someone from *Idaho* wants to start a fight about how Canada is cold and there's nothing to do there! -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 12:50 9
      - I never said I minded ice fishing or igloos :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:55
      - hmmmm, now I am wondering what is colder and more boring than Toronto OR Idaho? -- nm - Jovian Oct 24, 12:53 7
        
        you think Toronto might be boring? that's odd. -- nm* - mud Oct 24, 13:16 1
        
        He's not 100% wrong. (Or is your point that he should be more certain?) -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 13:22

        Word -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:58 1
        
        Thanks for voting me out. Now I can get the f**k out of here. -- nm - Liz Cheney, probably Oct 24, 13:00
  - SToronto -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:45
  - both sides are just so touristy now, but yeah I've always liked the Canadian side better -- nm - decline Oct 24, 12:44
- (also, a bunch of airlines fly NYC-Buffalo) -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 12:36 11
  - yeah, I'd looked for flights Boise to Niagara Falls just to get an idea and they all dumped me off in Buffalo -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:37 10
    - Those are biased, you should just fly to Toronto. If you're going to Niagara Falls, you'll be visiting Canada anyway because it has the best side. -- nm - Roger More Oct 24, 12:42
    - Yeah Buffalo is the local airport for Niagara - ty97 Oct 24, 12:40 6
      - *blink* really? -- nm - JaxSean Oct 24, 12:59
      - that is just silly, but good to know thanks! -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:41 4
        
        Niagra is pretty much just the tourist destination and there isn't much of a town at all -- nm - decline Oct 24, 12:43 3
        
        Niagara Falls NY is one of the dumpiest towns I've ever seen. (like, literally) -- nm* - Reagen Oct 24, 12:52 1
        
        well yeah (although there are places in the Southern Tier that make NF look like Beverly Hills) -- nm - decline Oct 24, 13:06
        
        thanks -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:46
    - no offense to Buffalo, but if there is a city in that state I'll get dumped out in, why not the one that is almost as good as Buffalo :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 24, 12:38
    - look at both Buffalo and Rochester (which is just about an hour from Buffalo) -- nm - decline Oct 24, 12:38
- +/- 2 hours depending on traffic out of the city haha -- nm - ty97 Oct 24, 12:35
Skittles short film floor 9.5 -- (link) - Remlik Oct 24, 12:30 4
- Copyright is from 2017 so it's been around for a while. What's this got to do with Skittles or am I missing something? -- nm - Mop Oct 24, 13:03
- 👍 Almost as good as the Lights Out short. -- nm - Barynn Oct 24, 12:36
- That's really good. But copyright 2017? -- nm - Max Oct 24, 12:33

- What was awesome about it? - Will Hunting Oct 24, 12:26 5
  - Because it looks 100x better than that crap Thor movie, for one. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 13:05
  - huge Kang fan. love the first 2 so the comedy at the start I liked. introducing a new area like Guardians with "aliens" - Beaker Oct 24, 12:30 2
    - I honestly got Aquaman feelings from the design. That’s not good. - Will Hunting Oct 24, 13:27
    - plus it will be funny when it opens around $70M and articles start screaming Marvel movies are dying while blowing Black Adam for doing $67 -- nm - Beaker Oct 24, 12:32
  - They finally achieved the impossible - Max Oct 24, 12:28
refs ask for Mike Evans autograph after the game -- (link) - Beaker Oct 24, 12:15
NFL: St. Brown did not have a concussion yesterday, was removed from yesterday's game after showing signs of ataxia which is an automatic pull out. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 12:13 5
- And how did he get that??? -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 12:40 2
  - Somebody looked at him the wrong way. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 12:53 1
    - If that does it then a lot of people in this city would be dealing with ataxia on a regular basis. -- nm - Krusty Oct 24, 13:00
- Uhm... and that is *better*? -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:20
- Will continue to be evaluated this week, but likely to play Sunday. -- nm - Strongbad Oct 24, 12:14
Heh. -- (link) - Beryllium Oct 24, 12:07

- Why are you reading Deadline articles from a month ago? -- nm - David Oct 24, 12:00 1
  - He really misses Finke. -- nm - Qale Oct 24, 12:07
- They could always, you know, not buy passes. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 11:49 2
  - Problem is they advertise it as access year-round. The new reservation system can be full on certain days. And even though their pass is shown as valid for those days, not be allowed in. -- nm* - budice Oct 24, 11:52
  - "oh, you're pro-environment but you still exhale CO2? wow" -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 24, 11:51

  - He was. Sad to say that I only learned him by name and not just by face in the past year. -- nm - Barynn Oct 24, 12:37 1
    - He was a Ferengi in an episode of DS-9. -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 13:23

  - indeed -- nm - Spawn Oct 24, 12:00
