      - watching now. After ~40 years, probly time for a rewatch. Cool picture (released on the same day as Blade Runner!) -- nm - mud Mar 2, 14:02
    - He has seemed a bit sassier. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 12:58

  - My regimen is Flonase for daytime, half-tab Benadryl for nighttime. If daytime is really bad, 12 hour (and 12 hour ONLY) behind the counter Sudafed. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 13:57
- Especially with this time of year. Not sure about where kilbo is, but here the pollen is already a nightmare. - sycor Mar 2, 12:46 15
  - I thought pine pollen was bad back home in Georgia. Oak here in Houston is arguably worse. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 13:55
  - with early pollen, i'm on a 24 hr allergy pill plus spot mucinex just to stay breathing. -- nm - colin Mar 2, 12:47 13

      - Dude. Go get in the bubble. It might be cheaper and easier. -- nm - sycor Mar 2, 12:53 7
        
        This planet sucks! Before Mucinex, I was prescribed guaifenesin. That was a lot cheaper. -- nm* - Spawn Mar 2, 12:56 6
        
        It's the same thing. You can get generic Mucinex and it's just guaifenesin and it's usually cheaper to get the store brand. - sycor Mar 2, 13:07 5
        
        Oh, believe me, I know. And quantity is king. Supply chain has impacted availability of the 48 packs. Luckily I can hit CVS, Walgreens, Walmart and - Spawn Mar 2, 13:12 4
        
        You should join Sams or something. Guaifenesin 1200mg 56 pack for $15 -- nm - sycor Mar 2, 13:39
        
        JFC. Come to Castlteon I'll give you my Costco card. Go buy the big fucking bottle of it. -- nm - Remlik Mar 2, 13:27 2
        
        1200mg in bottle? Are you certain? As I said, 600 is available elsewhere but not 1200. If so, I will be up this weekend! Also, can not be DM. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 13:30 1
        
        they're 600mg. so take 2. But you get FAR more there than at cvs. not DM. -- nm* - Remlik Mar 2, 13:36
      - good lord -- nm - mud Mar 2, 12:52 1

- have at it! -- nm - mud Mar 2, 12:31
LIR Funko. I'm not sure it was just supply chain issues. I think it's also a lot of overproduction of unwanted Pops. - sycor Mar 2, 12:12 7
- When I shutdown selling toys at the comic shop I did a blowout sale and nearly emptied the room. But the last day I still had enough to fill 9 totes. - Spawn Mar 2, 13:09
- They baseball carded their product. - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:16 5
  - Being old enough to remember beany babies and other collectibles it always made me SMH when I see people talking about the value of Pops. - sycor Mar 2, 12:19 4
    - That's not entirely true. The company isn't the value - it's the value of the specific Pops to the buyer, and the scarcity of it. - JaxSean Mar 2, 12:29 2
      - That's true. But a lot pops (not all) are much closer to beanie babies than not in the volume they are produced. - sycor Mar 2, 12:34 1
        
        3D print that shit! -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 13:05

It’ll be interesting to see how pitchers tire if they’re pumping out max-effort reps quickly - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:11 8
- Yeah, I referenced this the other day. It's the story if arm injuries soar this season. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:19 2
  - How many times in his career do you think Greg Maddux went max-effort? - Will Hunting Mar 2, 12:22 1
    - Max? Effort? -- nm - Mark Buehrle Mar 2, 12:46
- I don't think it's a big deal. They been using the pitch clock in the minors since 2015. - Inigo Mar 2, 12:13 4
  - didn't they do a study and found that most pitchers are already under the timer limit.. it'll rush just a handful? -- nm - colin Mar 2, 12:46 3
    - To a large extent I think the hitters were often the slower part. Stepping out of the box. Adjusting their batting gloves after every pitch. - pmb Mar 2, 12:49 1
      - I'm certain baseball was invented by people with OCD for people with OCD -- nm - zeitgeist Mar 2, 13:42
    - more coddling of starters’ arms is definitely what the game needs now -- nm - hollywood big shot Mar 2, 12:48
I mean, can't you grind up the funkos and make like running tracks? or compress into bricks or something? why just landfill?? -- nm - judge indianapolis jones Mar 2, 12:11 3
- I would think they could be recycled in some way. If not, that does not bode well considering how many have been made and sold. - sycor Mar 2, 12:13 2
  - My Chidi pop says only the box can be recycled. -- nm - spamlet Mar 2, 12:48 1
    - What an ethical firestorm for Chidi -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 12:56
LIR: Andie (overshare) - oblique Mar 2, 12:11
My new tactic for Twitter is to just post whatever I feel like and if I get banned, I get banned. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 12:04 14
- I’m not even that prolific and I have over 10k tweets in my history there. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 12:35
- Anti-Elon stuff or just coarse language…or just lots of nudity? What’s going to get you the hammer? -- nm - Flav Mar 2, 12:07 1
  - Might get a copyright strike from Viacom for the You Can’t Do That On Television clips today. Hah -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 12:12
- Just delete it and (try to) never visit it. If you can do it with Amazon, you can do it with Twatter. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 2, 12:07 10
  - I deleted my account over 10 years ago. The only tweets I see now are ones linked on ST. -- nm - Dano Mar 2, 12:49
  - That’s not going to happen. It’s too ubiquitous. It’s not like alcohol or cigs or other thing I’ve cut out of my life. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 12:13 2
    - This is one area where mastodon works for me & probably wouldn't work as well for others. - Beryllium Mar 2, 12:15 1
      - Twitter does two things really well for me. Gives me up to the minute information from brands or newsies. Gives me spicy that TikTok cannot. -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 12:21
  - This is what I've done (deleting the app, not my account). -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 12:08 5
    - I feel like Twitter is a great, real time news source—I can understand people’s frustration with it though -- nm - Flav Mar 2, 12:09 4
      - Which is why I said "a right-leaning industrial tycoon just bought your newspaper and eviscerated it" in my blog post about it. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 12:12 3
        
        Bezos bought WaPo and my Amazon boycott worked there. I mean, I even took my novels off Amazon. My commitment seems so much higher! -- nm - Qale Mar 2, 12:22
        
        I like Mastodon a lot - but finding the (correct) feeds to follow is definitely a lot more difficult. -- nm - JaxSean Mar 2, 12:16 1
        
        Yep, for sure. One approach I was using for a while was watching hashtags for interesting participants. -- nm - Beryllium Mar 2, 12:16
Funk this. -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 12:01 13
- Some Amiibos still hold value! -- (link) - Qale Mar 2, 12:07
- Hey you need to be playing Destiny and helping your dearly beloved Mara -- nm - eag Mar 2, 12:04 11
  - Oh my... -- nm - Spawn Mar 2, 12:14 1
    - Your not saving her just being helped by her -- nm - eag Mar 2, 12:17
  - She just stands at The Farm and glows now. It's got to be a boring job. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:05 8
    - Here, look. -- (link) - David Mar 2, 12:05 [youtube] 7
      - I know I did that quest and she's a vendor now too -- nm - eag Mar 2, 12:08 6
        
        (I was adding on for Spawn.) -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:18
        
        Oh and for someone who hasn't played Destiny in over a year and isn't good at shooters I handled myself well - eag Mar 2, 12:16 4
        
        I'm still working my way through Savathun's missions. -- nm - Remlik Mar 2, 12:28
        
        I'm on the last mission. I'm not a fan of the strider character, but it's been fun thus far. -- nm - David Mar 2, 12:19 2
        
        Is that the Silver Surfer Neptune guy? -- nm - eag Mar 2, 12:37 1
