- well shit son #8 right there says get that and have a Halo night! -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:54
- Bid on dinners and wine sets, those tend to get bid up over value. But special Chef's dinners can be awesome Bourdain experience -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 11:46 1
  - That's a fun scroll: gift basket, gift basket, one month advertising (?!), quilt, banana holder, gift box, quilt, dog..er wait, AKC dog, -- (edited) - JD Oct 27, 12:00
- We went to one once for Feed My Starving Children. It was a ton of fun. I bought raffle tickets instead of bidding on things. Ended up winning Cubs - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 11:38
- The thing I just linked includes a Mark Twain that combining a man with a cat would improve the man but lessen the cat. - David Oct 27, 11:36 1
  - 😺 -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 11:40
- I agree that you should make sure to go out a couple times per week, but I still think you should get lots of cats. -- nm - Dano Oct 27, 11:35 1
  - it is tempting :) -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 11:45
- We went to an event a few months ago, and I was the first bid for a Geena Davis autographed baseball, figuring I'd get outbid. - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:34 2
  - congrats on the baseball, but yeah, a certificate and display box would have been nice -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 11:39
  - Also, "Gobble till you Wobble" makes me laugh. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 11:36
- They are auctioning a dog? That seems problematic... (But glad you are going out!) -- nm - Andie Oct 27, 11:26 6
  - Local businesses donate items to be auctioned. I think a local ranch donated it. Here she is, a cutie -- (link*) - crash davis Oct 27, 11:28 5
    - awww .. but Andie's right, it seems odd. -- nm - mud Oct 27, 11:30 2

      - *makes a shoulder shrug to say "eh, its Idaho"* -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 11:37

      - oh fudge no -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 11:29
Another quarter, another $614 million lost to the pointlessness of Peacock. -- nm - David Oct 27, 10:49 40
- the same thing I always say: I actually watch peacock a fair bit. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 27, 11:21 9
  - I watch at least once a week, typically more. Of course that's pretty much only Premier League but hey, I'm watching - JD Oct 27, 11:50
  - Below Deck, natch. -- nm - Dano Oct 27, 11:38
  - Same. They routinely have movies I will watch (Meet Cute), decent series (The Resort, We are Ladyparts) and we use them when needed for whatever show - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 11:37 2
    - If you haven't watched marry me, you should. -- nm - Kellyanne Scrabblestats Oct 27, 12:04 1
      - The Lopez/Wilson one? Yeah that was fun -- nm - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 12:33
  - The last time I pulled it up was because mom wanted to watch some murder podcast on "Life." I figured out it was a Gabby Petito thing... - David Oct 27, 11:33
  - I do not, not much Hulu either, Netflix, D+ & HBO Max for Original Content (HOTD, Andor). -- nm* - budice Oct 27, 11:29 1
    - Hulu is now my #1 watched streamer, followed by Neftlix and Prime. Peacock and Paramount are just for football on Sundays -- (edited) - decline Oct 27, 11:37
  - I do as well. The Resort is a must watch -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:28
- yet you say in the podcast that they are doing things right with Day and Date. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:16 7
  - 1) Thanks for listening 2) Thanks for paying attention 3) They do maybe three things right but dozens wrong -- nm - David Oct 27, 11:26 5
    - 3. totally fair. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:28 4
      - WWE is one of them by the way. -- nm - David Oct 27, 11:29 3
        
        On Peacocks end they're messing it up? is that what you mean? -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:29 2
        
        No, I mean WWE is almost irrefutably Peacock's best asset. - David Oct 27, 11:31 1
        
        gotcha. Yeah I agree. they'd have a killer prodcut if they'd redesign the gdamn service. It's impossible to get shows of the Continue Watching list. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:54
  - 'bout time they rebooted Knight and Day -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 11:17
- Peacock sucks, but are any streaming services or streaming divisions of companies profitable yet (besides Netflix)? -- nm - Inigo Oct 27, 11:09 6
  - During Netflix's most recent earnings call, the person speaking (can't remember who) explicitly stated they're the only profitable major. -- nm - David Oct 27, 11:28 2
    - Thanks! I would think Hulu probably is, too. But wouldn't be counted as a major, but as part of Disney as a whole. -- nm - Inigo Oct 27, 11:32 1
      - oh this is interesting. I hadn't thought of that. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 27, 11:32
  - not that i'm aware (and the cost of competing with Netflix is only going to keep going up for all of them) -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 11:18 2
    - To be clear, I'm not saying streaming can't be profitable. Just that it takes years to get to profitability. Disney is still losing tons of money. -- nm - Inigo Oct 27, 11:21 1
      - Disney will update in 10 days, but Chapek's most recent remarks indicated the worst losses end now. It's supposed to break even in 2024. - David Oct 27, 11:35
- Listen here you! I can only watch so much Dick Wolf at a time! -- nm - Qale Oct 27, 11:01 1
  - if all L&O were on peacock, I know a dozen or more people who would happily pay for it. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 27, 11:23

- Churn and Burn -- nm - budice Oct 27, 10:58
- That would buy over 200 of the below lairs!!! -- nm - Spawn Oct 27, 10:57
- Lose money on every sale but make up for it in volume! -- nm - Barynn Oct 27, 10:52
- I’m now wondering if the WWE Network will end up it’s own thing again. -- nm - Tim Oct 27, 10:52 7
  - They'd try to find somebody else first. Only the biggest (and smallest) players want to do their own app. -- nm - David Oct 27, 11:07 6
    - But it would be easy for them relauch since the Network is in the rest of the world. Of course they want a yearly check from someone though -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:17 5
      - Not as easy as you think. Remember that they lost BAMTech, which led to a staggering performance drop. - David Oct 27, 11:25 4
        
        oooohhhhh that's RIGHT! I forgot about that. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 11:29 3
        
        They're probably leaving about $50 million on the table each year to have somebody else do it. - David Oct 27, 11:34 2
        
        definitely. if they are on their own, they are literally on their own. Tied to another streamer they get all those new potential views and fans too -- nm - Beaker Oct 27, 12:29
        
        They also save by not processing 1.5 Million credit cards every month. -- nm - Remlik Oct 27, 12:22
- they're accelerating - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 10:51
Zillow: I really kind of love this home -- (link) - decline Oct 27, 10:39 19
- It looks straight out of a former Eastern Bloc country -- nm - ty97 Oct 27, 11:31 1
  - in Soviet Illinois, house zillows YOU -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 11:41
- fine, I will live there with you. -- nm - judge amanda jones Oct 27, 11:22
- change the circle over the front door to the stonecutters logo -- nm - gort Oct 27, 11:19 1
  - No Homers -- nm - Beaker Oct 27, 11:20
- That's not a home, it's a lair. -- nm - TWuG Oct 27, 10:55 2
  - It's so comically lair-y that it could actually go even further: "This is the lair your lair could smell like!" -- nm* - Beryllium Oct 27, 10:58
  - The Beige Lair with the Purple Sex Room -- nm - JaxSean Oct 27, 10:58
- I'm pretty sure I saw that foyer in The Bad Guys -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 10:47
- Are we sure that's not a S.H.I.E.L.D. field office? -- nm - Barynn Oct 27, 10:45
- The grounds are fantastic but I'd wake up every day wondering if I'd been involuntarily committed to a rehab facility. -- nm - Max Oct 27, 10:44
- that'd make a great ST compound -- nm - Jovian Oct 27, 10:42
- Looks like a corporate campus. -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 10:42
- "what's the theme? squares" -- nm - hollywood big shot Oct 27, 10:41 1
  - And diamonds! -- nm - Blofeld Oct 27, 10:48
- Right down the street from me -- nm - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 10:41 3
  - I just noticed the location. 45 acres alone should be worth more than $3m. Who was murdered there? -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 10:43 2
    - Seriously. There's one just next door to it that is 2.1M on 2.46 acres. The land alone should be worth the price. I should get our church to buy - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 10:45 1
      - You should buy and subdivide -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 11:42
I either look under the weather, or completely tired of this shit. -- (pic) - Qale Oct 27, 10:39 [Attachment] 3
- but you voted! -- nm - mud Oct 27, 10:53 2
  - It was without question a must vote situation. -- nm - Qale Oct 27, 11:03
  - Look closer. It actually says "I pooted." -- nm - Barynn Oct 27, 10:57
Aldis Hodge To Star As Alex Cross As Amazon Orders Series From Ben Watkins, Paramount TV & Skydance -- (link) - LMS Oct 27, 10:38 2
- I'm glad that casting directors are recognizing that he's a superstar. -- nm - David Oct 27, 10:47
- Cool! Although I guess that means City on a Hill is over, no season 4? -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 10:39
It’s very amusing that MST3K got Penn to do the voiceover for the preview for the upcoming episode. And I got my glasses as well. - Tim Oct 27, 10:36 [youtube] 1
- I wonder if they paid him a Cameo fee. -- nm - Qale Oct 27, 10:37
One thing that makes me nervous is when one of my teams plays a winless team. I'm always worried because the other guys have to win sometime -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 10:31
Dear client, if you want us to actually be able to update your documents, it would help if we had edit permissions for the content files. -- nm - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Oct 27, 10:31 2
- Important Tax Document - Final - Update - Final - Really Final (2).docx -- nm - kilbooooooo Oct 27, 10:34
- you're very demanding, znu -- nm - decline Oct 27, 10:31
For $75 per pup, doggie diners get dishes like chicken skin waffles and filet mignon steak tartare with quail egg - decline Oct 27, 10:19 4
- I had an idea of a Canine Country Club in San fran where dog parks are small, scarce, with a way to have dinner with the pup. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 27, 11:53
- Relatedly: More dog owners are buying chicken hearts for their dogs. And I tell them, Have you not seen Resident Evil? This is how we get zombie dogs -- nm - Qale Oct 27, 10:40
- yep. I had posted on B2. Doesnt the owner look like Andy Serkis? -- (link) - Jovian Oct 27, 10:34

"harken" or "hearken"? (Both are valid, which one is better?) -- nm - Beryllium Oct 27, 09:55 14
- Harkonnen. -- nm - Reagen Oct 27, 10:25 1
  - [likes] -- nm - Stellan Skarsgard Oct 27, 10:34
- harken -- nm - rollo Oct 27, 09:57
- I've never seen nor heard hearken used. -- nm - spamlet Oct 27, 09:56 10
  - Listen hearken, Barbie is mad at you. -- nm - crash davis Oct 27, 10:19
  - It's US. But both are archaic. Probably harken makes more sense because it's consistent with hark. There's no such word as heark. -- nm - Roger More Oct 27, 10:02
  - Well you may have heard it (I figured it sounds the same?) - ty97 Oct 27, 10:01 6
    - Every time I've heard it, I always clarify with the person that they are saying harken not hearken. I'm fun at parties -- nm - rollo Oct 27, 10:09 5

        I’ll be honest, I made it through like the first 25%. - spamlet Oct 27, 10:38 1
