    - it's a bargain! -- nm - decline Nov 3, 12:25
- maybe the processor broke loose from your motherboard and is rattling around in the liquid crystal. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 12:23 4
  - isn't that how the Magic 8-ball got invented? -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 12:39
  - Seems like it probably wouldn't boot if it were the motherboard and the processor causing the rattle. - The Gossip King Nov 3, 12:24 2
    - Look pal, if you knew the answers you'd already be working at the Geek Squad. -- nm - Max Nov 3, 12:28 1
      - He’s probably venting bits. The fan was running its cycles too hard and dislodged the logic boards. It’ll need to retraced. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 12:32

- Spain is the new China? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 12:06 3

  - Next you are gonna tell me there is an ulterior motive for me getting free money for opening yet another checking account? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:12
LIR: I'm comfortable saying the CDC is wrong. COVID is still very contagious, I have no compelling reason since I work from home, to risk infecting - colin Nov 3, 10:59 27
- I stay home with just cold symptoms now. -- nm - Reagen Nov 3, 12:54
- see, I think we've learned the CDC is ultra-conservative in their recommendations - ML Nov 3, 11:26 2
  - if someone i knew was aware they had been directly exposed, i would hope they would try to keep their distance. that's just basic respect for others. -- nm* - Andie Nov 3, 11:27 1
    - absolutely! -- nm - ML Nov 3, 11:28
- Afaik we're down to 300 some deaths a week nationwide -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 3, 11:23 11
  - It might be fair to say at this point that deaths aren't the main concern. People are collecting long-term debilitating issues as if they are Pokemon - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:35 6
    - I like this terminology and can relate to it. This guy speaks to me. -- nm - Mop Nov 3, 12:22
    - there are all sorts of warnings here about our hospitals filling up again and elective surgeries etc all getting pushed again. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:37 4
      - especially with the rise in RSV cases here. -- nm - prayformojo Nov 3, 11:41 3
        
        here too. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:41 2
        
        My mother is finally getting over it. First time in at least a decade she was sick for more than 48 hours. -- nm* - Spawn Nov 3, 11:44 1
        
        *thumbs up* -- nm - mud Nov 3, 12:08
  - 7 x that many. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:26

  - (~300 daily nationwide) -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 11:24 1
    - "~300" could be 42.86! -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:25
- is PCR testing less than 24 hrs after exposure going to detect the virus? -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:13 9
  - i was told by the hospital i got mine done at in the summer that at that short a time range, it very well may not. -- nm - Andie Nov 3, 11:20 1
    - thank you. they have them a few times a week, i'll just wait. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:22
  - I don't think so -- nm - St. Epiphany Nov 3, 11:19 5
    - that's why i thought. there's a community testing this afternoon, but don't want to be wasteful. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:20 4
      - 3 to 5 days to get symptoms and some folks a few months ago were sick, sick and didn't test positive for days after they felt bad. - St. Epiphany Nov 3, 11:23 3
        
        Yeah, I think if you can stay somewhat quarantined for 3-4 days, do that, then take a home test. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 11:25 2
        
        Yup -- nm - St. Epiphany Nov 3, 11:28
        
        yep, i can stay quarantined no issue, see if get the symptoms. -- nm - colin Nov 3, 11:25
  - Not if you keep masking. You need to get out there and snort that shit up to make sure it is detectable! -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:14
- The CDC and other health organizations (including here in Canada) have capitulated to economic and political forces. Extremely disappointing. - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:09
Discover Bank has already reacted to the rate increase. CD rollover in Dec. will go from .5% to 3.75 or better. -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 10:57 2
- Synchrony is currently offering 3.96% on a 2-yr, and I expect that to go up further before my next one rolls over in January. -- (edited) - znufrii, official Gen-Xer Nov 3, 11:31 1
  - I'll probably just go for 18 months on this one, figuring it'll be somewhat higher by then. -- nm - Meg Nov 3, 12:12
One of the more intriguing ideas I've seen for improving the Mariners offense is asking JP Crawford to move to second, and signing 1 of the big $ SS - crash davis Nov 3, 10:44 2
- You guys can't spend what Judge will cost but one of the SS might be a more reasonable contract. - Krusty Nov 3, 13:03
- I meant 1 of the big 4, not 1 of the big $ shortstops. But that works too, so I'll leave it -- nm* - crash davis Nov 3, 10:45

What's your objective review of the world series so far - the games have been entertaining, each for different reasons, with maybe the exception of g2 -- nm - rollo Nov 3, 10:31 12
- Who is playing? -- nm - Spawn Nov 3, 11:07 7
  - It's Cheaters vs. Antivaxxers -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 3, 11:08 6
    - (Last year was Cheaters vs. Racist Names) -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 3, 11:08 5
      - Go ... Cheaters? -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:10 4
        
        You rooted *against* my team, Bery?! -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 3, 11:16 3
        
        I don't follow baseball, but I certainly wouldn't root for the Astros. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:18 2
        
        Lemme help, I speak David: the Astros are the Cheaters, the Phillies are the Anti-vaxxers, -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 11:20 1
        
        Thanks. I also picked up that the Racist Names were Atlanta. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 3, 11:22
- I have to say three out of the four have been outstanding even if Game 4 went to the bad guys, WCFRO. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 10:37
- I haven't watched a second of it, but the whole thing sounds fun. Tipped pitches one day followed by a no-hitter the next is pretty epic. -- nm - The Gossip King Nov 3, 10:35
- Viewpoint I find interesting. Each World Series game is a unique, individual story. -- (edited) - budice Nov 3, 10:35
- The World Series started? Who's playing? Wait, never mind. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 3, 10:34
Sure, Ga'Quincy is much more plausible. -- nm - David Nov 3, 10:29

  - DAAAAAAAAAMN -- nm - Tim Nov 3, 10:38
Should we drop the faux niceties, and just start addressing lactose intolerant people as lactose bigots? - crash davis Nov 3, 10:26 3
- Lactosist -- nm - rollo Nov 3, 10:32
- I mean, sure, I am lactose intolerant, and you lactose people should not be tolerated. - tRuMaN Nov 3, 10:29 1
  - I am a Idaho-Irish-American, so mentioning potatoes is a double ethnic slur. -- nm - crash davis Nov 3, 10:32
