- Canadian? Is that like $15 USD? -- nm - jnine Dec 23, 14:54
- Oh. That's a pretty boat. Can't you sell a kid or two to raise the money? -- nm - decline Dec 23, 10:52 5
  - You have a greatly exaggerated concept of the current market values -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 23, 13:01
  - apparently there are "regulations" and "laws" that prevent that. So much for the free market! -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:54 3
    - It is a very nice boat, but I don't think think it is quite sell a kid worthy, even if the socialists stop you from doing so. -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:56 2
      - You can always make more kids, crash -- nm - decline Dec 23, 11:03
      - I think you're probably right. Besides, the kids are useful for working the sails. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 11:01
I am getting really tempted right now to ride my bike downtown for that last bit of christmas shopping (rather than driving, or not going at all) - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:33
Loosi, staying home was definitely the correct decision -- (link) - All I want for Xmas is znu Dec 23, 10:32 1

  - I like Christmas vacation, but I don't watch it very often. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:17 5
    - I watch it every year. It's wonderful. -- nm - Krusty Dec 23, 10:29 2
      - I referred to home alone as "decadal", as in, once a decade. Christmas Vacation is half- or maybe quarter-decadal for me. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:31 1
        
        I watch both every year. I watch Christmas movies and tv episodes all month long. It's the most wonderful time of the year! - Krusty Dec 23, 10:36
    - I love it and I don't watch it often. The only Christmas movie I've seen this year was that Lindsay Lohan thing -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:25 1
      - I've only seen the GOTG one - that Kevin Bacon thing -- nm* - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:28
Reddit continues to perform fuckery with their blocked users lists and expected actions. - Qale Dec 23, 10:06 5
- I mean, technically some blocking scenarios on ST have a "view it anyway" option. ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:17 4
  - Yes. But that puts the onus back on the person to click ‘view it anyway.’ - Qale Dec 23, 10:23 3
    - But isn't that the same as "they will now still appear, but collapsed"? Or am I missing something? -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:24 2
      - That was the previous change. I’m not sure if that’s how it works now. Mostly because blocking seems broken completely due to the second change. -- (edited) - Qale Dec 23, 10:33 1
        
        for that test, check again in 30-60 minutes. Could be a caching issue. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:41
Did anybody receive the Iger email? -- nm - JD Dec 23, 10:03 3
- I did. I have no idea why. -- nm - jnine Dec 23, 14:56
- Yes. It seems to come in waves. I think the D23 members got it first. Then, it was annual passholders and DVC members. -- nm - David Dec 23, 10:20
- I did a Reply All to it. -- nm - Spawn Dec 23, 10:07
I think you all know I live in ID, right? So yesterday the post office delivered me a People magazine addressed to a woman in Grove Spring MO -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:02 4
- her name is Trash Mavis? -- nm - mud Dec 23, 10:04 3
  - Elizabeth, last name similar to a former Speaker of the House. My house # is 5--, hers is 10998 -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:06 2
    - My best guess is the government is activating me and whatever the mission is, it is critical that I know what Blake Shelton is up to -- nm - crash davis Dec 23, 10:07
    - so, very similar then -- nm - decline Dec 23, 10:07
The highest private residence on earth. Not gonna lie, if I had a quarter-of-a-billion dollars, this would be my home. -- (link) - Mop Dec 23, 09:40 [youtube] 7

Flying to France for the holidays: exciting! Having to sit next to a convicted serial killer for the flight? Not so exciting... -- (link) - decline Dec 23, 09:33 5
- Interesting. Article doesn’t mention what happened when he landed. So… he’s free to go, I guess? -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 09:43 4
  - That's my understanding. I believe there is at least 1 outstanding warrant for him in SE Asia still (Cambodia?) but he would need to be extradited -- nm - decline Dec 23, 09:44 3
    - He could have killed everyone on that plane!!! -- nm - Mop Dec 23, 09:51 2
      - he is accused of poisoning an entire bus at one point -- nm - decline Dec 23, 10:24
      - Ain’t nobody got time for that! -- nm - Qale Dec 23, 09:58
So now that Freshly is gone, anyone have a meal service they like? -- nm - Dano Claus Dec 23, 09:22 7
- I used Factor 75 for a few weeks. They are good meals but are a bit pricy. -- (link*) - GregW Dec 23, 13:50
- the reason i used Freshly is i don't cook, so any of the "preparation" services are no-go for me -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 23, 10:05
- I actually got one of these. - pmb Dec 23, 09:30 1
  - Curious. I wonder if that would be useful on an all-electric boat ... -- nm - Beryllium Dec 23, 10:25
- I'm a hello fresh user for a couple years now - not sure how others feel but for me it is a game changer -- nm - rollo Dec 23, 09:24 1

so Wilson is done with the Jets now right? -- nm - Beaker Dec 23, 08:37 11
- Define done. He's just in year two of his contract. - David Dec 23, 08:53 4
  - Best ever QB draft class? There's some really good players that were drafted in 2021 -- nm - JD Dec 23, 08:59 3
    - Yes. Teams reached for need at QB and skipped Hall of Fame talents in the process. -- nm - David Dec 23, 09:02 2
      - Got it. Indeed. Though while it would have been a much more productive selection (to date) I think the 49'ers would've been shredded for trading up - JD Dec 23, 09:08 1
        
        Chase, Waddle, Sewell, Horn, Surtain, DeVonta Smith, Parsons, and Slater were the first position players to go. - David Dec 23, 09:12
- Some of the Saleh magic is also worn off -- nm - budice Dec 23, 08:51 4
  - That defense is legit—just need a serviceable QB -- nm - Flavorize Dec 23, 09:17
  - They're 7-8 with Joe Flacco as their best QB. That's still quite impressive. - David Dec 23, 08:56 2
    - I just think about KC with Saleh as their DC. Man that would be near unstoppable -- nm* - budice Dec 23, 09:05 1
      - Because he was a great DC he has a better and higher paying job as HC. Also, he's been great. This team was very bad before he got here and the - Krusty Dec 23, 10:34
- You'd think so but it's the Jets. -- nm - Krusty Dec 23, 08:46
Life lesson... -- (link*) - David Dec 23, 08:31
56 degrees is quite warm since it's 22 outside. Wait, what?! Fucking landlords. -- nm - Qale Dec 23, 08:26 2
- The news here in Chicago always makes a point to tell people that landlords are required by law to maintain 68 degrees during the day and 66 and night -- nm - kilbowlful of jelly Dec 23, 08:33 1
  - That's the temp requested I set the thermostat to, yes. It is not making it. 59. -- nm - Qale Dec 23, 09:06
