        I'm only meh on both. Soul was never going to be a giant hit either way though - Reagen May 20, 11:30 1
        
        For me, Soul is right there with the best of Pixar in terms of philosophical/emotional impact. But you're right about the box office. -- nm - David May 20, 11:35

- Chapek doesn't have the legal authority to put asylum seekers on planes to Martha's Vineyard -- nm - hollywood big shot May 20, 10:17 1
  - I'm fairly certain that DeSantis and/or Abbott doesn't either, but when you're a republican they let you do it, grab'm by the headlines -- nm - zeitgeist May 20, 10:39

- Comfortable soft sold shoes are the sign of a working man getting it done. They're ADA compliant... - zeitgeist May 20, 10:03
- Those sneaker shoes are so ugly and don't belong on feet anywhere. If you're wearing a suit, wear nice shoes. Never sneakers. -- (edited) - Krusty May 20, 09:25 4
  - This! *Maybe* sneakers with business casual but with a suit and tie sneakers of any type or value looks stupid (especially white). There are plenty of - zunk takes things literally May 20, 10:10 2
    - This. I wear black sneakers with slacks and a button down frequently but even with adding a tie would switch shoes. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 10:14 1
      - I wear sneakers no matter where I go. But if it was to someplace like the Oval Office I'd really nice shoes. -- nm - Remlik May 20, 10:17

  - Brown shoes with a blue suit is perfect. Brown sneaker shoes, not so much. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 09:24 2
    - Brown sneaker shoes with a big ole white bottom. Personally, I think the House looks bad compared to the Senate. (I do like Jeffries's socks) -- nm - crash davis 😺 May 20, 09:26 1

I could use some gift advice. I have a client that's pregnant with her first child and I'd like to get her something nice as a congratulations. -- (edited) - Krusty May 20, 06:50 18
- My mind keeps going to a something like a pregnancy skin care gift pack (Burt's Bees)but that's maybe a little too personal in this case? - Meg May 20, 10:01 1
  - Yeah, that would be good if I was a girl friend of hers. I'll do some searching. I thought I'd try ST first as we have lots of moms. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 10:35

In a giant lie, the Jeopardy boss claims Mayim and Ken get exactly the same ratings... -- (link) - Ender May 19, 23:50 7
- I believe it is very likely to be within the quantifiable rating number. Ratings for syndicated shows don’t flux much. -- nm - Qale May 20, 09:23 1
  - Yeah. And ST seems to really buy into the Jeopardy hype. -- nm - Spawn May 20, 10:02
- I watch Jeopardy every day. I don't turn it off if the "wrong" host is there. -- nm - Mop May 20, 08:59 1

  - Spoiler -- (edited) - mara May 20, 08:16

- I don’t understand how you can’t serve someone that is at a set place at a set time over and over again. - Volnelk 🍊 May 20, 04:45 4
  - Yeah, that makes little sense to me. They know exactly where he is on game nights. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 04:47 3
    - You can't just walk into a studio. -- nm - Mop May 20, 06:19 2
      - But you can stand right by the entrance or exit. A good process server shouldn't have much issue serving someone when they know exactly - Krusty May 20, 06:32 1
        
        And I know he doesn't walk in the front door but they know he's in the building. They can figure out a way to serve him. -- nm - Krusty May 20, 06:36

  - I love when I find a new channel that has hours of interesting content. Someone here posted a video from a channel called Todd in the Shadows - Krusty May 20, 06:12 [youtube] 1
    - That would be Tim. -- nm - Qale May 20, 09:25
