This thief was wicked smaht: During the four-hour robbery, the burglar took more than 600 bottles of wine and liquor worth $500K - decline Jul 6, 11:01 2
- How did they get the wine out? Didn’t go through the roof with all that…opening a door would trigger an alarm, right? -- nm - Flavorize Jul 6, 11:05
- Inside job/insurance scam. -- nm - znufrii 🦄 Jul 6, 11:02
A Sask. farmer responded to a contract question with a thumbs up — now he has to pay $82K -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Jul 6, 10:59 3
- This is stupid. He was asked "confirm contract" and he sent a thumbs up. This isn't about emojis or technology. The guy responded in the affirmative. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 6, 11:07
- farmer responds with a poop emoji -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 11:03

What kind of monster would slap Britney?!? - decline Jul 6, 10:42 13
- (scratch this, misread the grammar as her touching a guard) -- nm* - Max Jul 6, 10:50 7
  - Brit brit is probably still living in a bubble of super diva privilege she doesn't realize has faded as she's no longer the teen dance queen -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 10:55 3
    - shouldn't matter whether she is famous or not. you don't slap someone (unless they come at you first). -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 6, 10:56 2
      - Yep—that can’t be the first response—honestly wonder how many other people he did it to (or if drinking was involved on his end) -- nm - Flavorize Jul 6, 11:00
      - that is a weird response, i wonder if he has a history of domestic abuse -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 10:59
  - Or touches his client that he's supposed to be bodyguard-ing. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 10:52 2
    - yeah but in that case where the bodyguard sees the contact I'd think he'd put his body between them, not throw a hand at the face. -- nm - Max Jul 6, 10:54 1
      - Right? It sounds like he failed at his job and then made it worse. -- nm - Jovian Jul 6, 10:57
- "You understand how it is when you're being swarmed by fans." I am not sure INSTANTLY SLAPPING them is the normal response. -- nm - Andie Jul 6, 10:45 1
  - PLEASE! IM SORRY! IMA GONNA LOSE THIS CUSHY PIMP JOB! -- nm - Jovian Jul 6, 10:49
- what kind of Head of Security would slap anyone? Let alone a female? -- nm - Jovian Jul 6, 10:44 2

  - It's wired in series. One goes, they all go. -- nm - Coach Bearond Jul 6, 10:46
  - This. As well as I give it about ~6 months before someone hacks it and displays a boob. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 10:33
- "And here's a topless revue..." *traffic stops* -- nm - budice Jul 6, 10:24
- its exceptionally cool. Though that perpetual traffic next to it is giving me anxiety lol. -- nm - Jovian Jul 6, 10:22
- A shining beacon in the night sky - decline Jul 6, 10:20

Has NYC ever elected a mayor who was not universally despised? Except Guliani -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 6, 10:14 5
- He was despised as well. It's part of the job. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 10:44
- Fiorello -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 6, 10:17 1
  - Probably the closest. No one in my lifetime was very well liked. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 10:46
- Ed Koch? -- nm - Coach Bearond Jul 6, 10:16 1
  - he guided them out of the 70s but got into plenty of hot water especially toward the end of his tenure -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 6, 10:18

- Is it fun? I haven't tried it yet. -- nm - David Jul 6, 10:18 7
  - Strangely, yes. - JaxSean Jul 6, 10:24 6
    - eventually you arcade revenue will eclipse your laundromat revenue. And then eventually you turn the entire place into an arcade. -- nm - Jovian Jul 6, 10:41 1
      - I figured something like that. - JaxSean Jul 6, 10:54
    - that sounds an awful lot like working -- nm - decline Jul 6, 10:30 3
      - I mean, so do Minecraft and Power Washer Simulator, but people love that, too. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 6, 10:34 2

- That person is just being igneous. -- nm - Dano Jul 6, 10:16
Ha! “Haste” is one of the oldest keywords in Magic so the definition hasn’t been printed on a card in several years. Until the Lord of the Rings set. -- (link) - Tim Jul 6, 09:55 3
- Meanwhile apparently there’s a Magic cruise? -- (link) - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jul 6, 10:21

Eric Adams doesn't seem to be entirely on the level -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 6, 09:42 4
- He's such an awful mayor and not really a good person either. I really hope he gets crushed in the next primary. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 09:47 3
  - Horrendous. NYC really slow walked themselves into this disaster of a Mayor. -- nm - Jovian Jul 6, 10:02
  - woulda gotten crushed the last time if Maya and Garcia just flipped a coin -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 6, 09:59 1
    - Yup. -- nm - Krusty Jul 6, 10:42
Hey xbox people with a Series X, do you have a cooling dock or fan? Does it need one? Saw an ad for this while shopping. -- (link) - sycor Jul 6, 09:35 7
- Mine just sits (vertically) behind my TV. It's fine. -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 6, 10:29
- It gets kind of hot depending on what game I'm playing. Diablo 4, quite so. But it doesn't require one, no. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 10:02
- I'm running my Series X almost constantly and don't need any cooling. It can warm the area around it. - Max Jul 6, 09:55

  - Carpeted floor makes me nervous here. -- nm - Qale Jul 6, 10:03

    - at 5.75% (GA's state rate), you pay the difference in income taxes at ~$95,000 of income. - spamlet Jul 6, 10:44

    - Right. Most reputable companies have ditched Florida completely. DeSantis really has wrecked the place. -- nm - David Jul 6, 09:34 16
      - he's propping up the market with taxpayer money but the reason they stopped underwriting is b/c Florida is a doomed climate state -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 6, 09:43 14
        
        Foreclosures in FL in May were the highest yet. It will only get worse -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 6, 09:47 13
        
        But I was told it was a utopia of freedom and everyone was moving there! -- nm - Tim Jul 6, 09:49 12

        I'm hopeful that we can get our property up enough in five years that we can move to Brugges or Copenhagen. -- nm - David Jul 6, 10:10 4

- that's where they get yay. No State taxes!...cause they've downloaded everything to the municipalities... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 6, 09:22
- But no income tax offsets that. Probably not much different if you move to a state with income + property taxes. - spamlet 🤦🏻‍♂️ Jul 6, 09:21 2
  - Everything we're looking at has gone up 200% in the last 2 years, tho, and about the same with insurance. - JaxSean Jul 6, 09:32 1

If you watch enough J!, you can get very good at predicting what questions will be asked. - Coach Bearond Jul 6, 08:33 2
- Yep. That was the one NY bartender’s strategy when he was rolling through matches. Fairly limited answer sets. - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 6, 08:53 1
  - The number of times they've asked about The Age of Innocence exceeds the number of people who have read The Age of Innocence. - Coach Bearond Jul 6, 09:05
GaryCam for the Mets game tying and winning hits, as Keith Hernandez just sits there. -- (link) - Tim Jul 6, 08:33 1
