Texans hiring Demeco Ryans. -- nm - Volnelk Jan 31, 13:27 13
- That tells you something about Denver, with Ryans preferring the Texans opening. -- nm - Strongbad Jan 31, 13:39 12
  - Texans are about to have cap space and a solid rookie QB prospect. - David Jan 31, 13:58 9

        I’m just glad they didn’t seem to ruin him post Urban. That could have killed him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 31, 14:11 1
        
        It speaks well of him that he overcame that. Most QBs who start wrong never get right. Tannehill is one of the few exceptions. - David Jan 31, 14:15

    - xeriscaping is almost a law in Nevada -- nm - Peglegpete Jan 31, 13:57
    - personal use is still dwarfed by agriculture (but farmers never get sprinkler shamed like residential customers) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 13:29 3
      - It's only decorative for residential customers. And completely inappropriate for the location. -- nm - loosilu Jan 31, 13:31 2
        
        Not true. The ripping out of lawns and landscaping in favor of xeriscaping has decimated the Monterey butterfly habitat and led to the death of many - jnine Jan 31, 19:18
        
        even if you ripped up every inch of lawn grass tomorrow, still wouldn't solve the bigger Colorado River issues -- (link*) - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 13:35
- in fairness to us, our population is probably more than all of those states' combined so . . . tail that wags the dog -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 13:11

  - uh......what? -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 12:56 22
    - what are you unclear on? - colin Jan 31, 13:09 15
      - Look, if I lived in Florida and there were books I wanted my kids to read that were banned by the school library, I would just buy those books from - rollo Jan 31, 14:11 14
        
        i get it. - colin Jan 31, 14:22
        
        Yes, but not everyone has that option financially, and the message it sends about the value of reading in schools as well as how - Reagen Jan 31, 14:18 8
        
        I certainly appreciate the other side of the argument, up until it dives into "take up arms against your library oppressors" territory -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 14:35 7
        
        Armed is too far, I agree. Loud, boisterous and unruly, I could get behind. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 14:39 1
        
        that would mean you're dealing with someone that bows to public pressure, has shame, or can be reasoned with. - colin Jan 31, 14:44
        
        Who said the libraries were the ones doing the oppressing? -- nm - znufrii Jan 31, 14:37 4
        
        Ack! What!? I take it all back. Violence for all, or for none. Everyone leave me alone. -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 14:41 3
        
        Not trying to pile on here, but I want to clarify that my point isn’t in regards to resorting to violence, but how you’re framing the argument - znufrii Jan 31, 14:53 1
        
        Swap out librarians for whoever you like then, I think I've established my position -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 15:02
        
        Yada yada worse than Hitler -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 14:42
        
        You're lucky that you can afford to buy books, and your kids are lucky that their parents would do that. Many are not that lucky. -- nm - mara Jan 31, 14:16 3
        
        I agree completely (I knew I was going to come off sounding like an asshole, oh well). I think the answer is charity not violence -- nm - rollo Jan 31, 14:36 1
        
        These bigots would have a fucking coronary at our school's libraries. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 14:40
        
        Morale in those schools has to be in the Earth's fucking core. -- nm - Reagen Jan 31, 14:19
    - We should be punching more nazis like DeSatan. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 13:00
    - He's saying he's baffled why Floridians are leaning over and taking it. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 13:00 4
      - because a majority of Americans in Florida want fascism. - Jovian Jan 31, 13:18 3
        
        Well, no, those aren't the ones he means. -- nm - Beryllium Jan 31, 13:19 2
        
        Oh I know. But they live in Florida. Under a fascist regime by a fascist governor with primarily fascists as their neighbors. - Jovian Jan 31, 13:21 1
        
        fascists are a minority, but their tactics scare people. - colin Jan 31, 13:35

Variety: Baldwin Formally Charged -- (link) - mud Jan 31, 12:43 2
- How do you get 2 counts for 1 bullet that caused 1 death? - Will Hunting Jan 31, 14:03 1
  - I'd have to see the charging document, but the probable cause statement linked in that article seems to differentiate Baldwin's two roles. - ReluctantCynic Jan 31, 14:29

Marvel Snap Patch Notes (1/31): Leader nerf, Wolverine buff, Friendly Battles incoming -- (link) - oblique Jan 31, 12:28 13
- That's a big Leader nerf, and presumably countered by Doc Oc. - the wrong element Jan 31, 12:47 4
  - I've been mostly playing Kazoo to idle at about the mid-60s in rank. I still haven't pulled Wong or Gambit or a few of the other notable combos - oblique Jan 31, 12:51 3
    - I wish more people played that type of deck. - the wrong element Jan 31, 13:12 2
      - I used that similar Sera deck to get up to about 60. It was a lot of fun to turn off Armor and then Shang-Chi stuff :) -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 13:14 1
        
        It's also fun to play Lizard, have them fill the location, then use Enchantress. - the wrong element Jan 31, 13:18
- Love that Wolverine change. He's largely just fuel for Venom or Carnage atm, bouncing randomly around the field. -- nm - Mony Baroney Jan 31, 12:33 7
  - Same. Puts him in line with Angela and seems about right. -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 12:40 6
    - Though I will have to remove him from my Cerebro deck filled with Power 3 cards now. -- nm - Mony Baroney Jan 31, 12:53 5
      - I couldn't get a Cerebro 3 deck to work well. I do love my Cerebro 2 though I find myself fighting the locations more than my opponent -- nm - oblique Jan 31, 12:55 4
        
        I've got both versions, but my Cerebro 2 deck struggles to accumulate power. I need to fiddle more. -- nm - Mony Baroney Jan 31, 13:14 2
        
        It maxes out at 28 per lane I think - oblique Jan 31, 13:17 1
        
        I need Mystique badly. I did just add Lockjaw to help pull in Cerebro, Blue Marvel, or Iron Man if they're hiding. -- nm - Mony Baroney Jan 31, 13:18
        
        I think you probably need Silver Surfer to really make use of Cerebro 3. - the wrong element Jan 31, 13:14
not sure even a 2-hr cut would have fixed Babylon’s fundamental flaws but agree that the marketing of what’s good in it was turrible -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 12:23 6
- My friend's in-law worked on the marketing of it. She told me before it came out and I said I didn't think he was marketing it right because I should -- (edited) - jnine Jan 31, 13:20 1
  - yes! the first trailer was bad -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 13:36
- I couldn't decide whether this would've worked better as a shorter film or a longer miniseries. -- nm - Mony Baroney Jan 31, 13:04 1
  - there's an interesting story to tell about the transition to talkies from silent movies. DC couldn't decide whether it was good or bad though. and it - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 13:13

    - What's this from? -- nm - JaxSean Jan 31, 13:03
The five Black officers who beat Tyre Nichols were quickly fired and charged. The white officer who was also involved in the stop? Lol. -- (link) - znufrii Jan 31, 12:12 2
- It sure seems like this half dozen officers will be the sacrificial lamb so that cops across the country will be able to say they've changed. -- nm* - con_carne Jan 31, 12:26 1
  - like they’d ever pretend they think they need to change -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 31, 12:34
