Inspired by Diva, my Barbie price was $19.22. My biggest percent gainer is Wicked thought, which I snagged at $2.47. -- nm - MDH Jul 21, 13:29 4
- Always a good sign when there's a Virtual Queue for the Ticket Site (Floats $80M Friday) -- (link*) - budice Jul 21, 13:49 [Attachment]
- BARBI is actually my biggest gainer by $$, next is AVAT3, then WICKD. (my yearly glance is complete). -- (pic) - Andie Jul 21, 13:38 [Attachment]

oh noes, we might lose all that Sinclair propaganda if they’re not allowed to negotiate their own deals for live streaming packages -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 12:55 7
- Because their gas stations are still a thing here, when I see Sinclair I immediately think Sinclair Oil - crash davis Jul 21, 13:14 6
  - not related afaik but I love that Sinclair Oil basically makes the mass extinction of an entire species their fun company mascot - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 13:18 5
    - I'm drawing a blank but I think I actually went to a hamburger place that had an anthropomorphic cow as a mascot. Or was that Clerks 2? -- nm - crash davis Jul 21, 13:23 4
      - Moobys -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 13:37

        thanks! -- nm - crash davis Jul 21, 13:36
ST opinion poll. Roller shades for windows, inside mount or outside mount? Or does it even matter? And does one block out light better? -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 12:55 3
- i would assume outside mount would block better. Inside mount, no matter how good a fit will have a slight gap around the edge of the blind. But - Andie Jul 21, 13:00 1
  - This is pretty much my exact reasoning which is why I can't decide. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 13:08
- I assume they’re better today than those cheap-ass vinyl ones from when I was growing up? they broke faster than the speed of sound -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 12:57

I absolutely love The Afterparty. So far this season is as much fun as the first. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 11:44 8
- This shows sounds like fun, but I just really dislike Haddish. Maybe I should give it a shot anyway. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 12:36 1
  - She's not a big part of either season. It's very much about the rest of the cast that are at the parties. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 13:00
- i just got 3 months of Apple TV free though a points offer. Ted Lasso 3 and The Afterparty 2 coming soon to a tv near me. -- nm* - Andie Jul 21, 12:15 4

- "Are you sure?" "The guy kept humping the door before pulling it open. It's some sort of combination. Hump, pull, hump, pull. Keep going." -- nm - Max Jul 21, 11:57

  - probably -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 11:18
- meh, we've spent billions and billions on nav systems so we don't have to stop and ask for directions -- nm - crrash davis Jul 21, 11:11 1
  - I dunno, the navy seems to go around in circles in the middle of the oceans for months at a time, I suppose they WON"T ask directions -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 11:15
- Given that I can remember the Tailhook coverage, I agree -- nm - JD Jul 21, 11:10
Not enuf in San Diego with SDCC, Jimmy Eat World is playing at Petco Park tonight -- (link) - budice Jul 21, 10:59 6

My team is all fairly young (20-30). Does taking them to see Gran Turismo on a friday afternoon (and one of the interns last days with us) seem cool? -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 10:53 4
- ...er than working, sure? - spamlet Jul 21, 10:54 3
  - to the IM: 😆 I think some of us can ask their kids? -- nm - JD Jul 21, 10:57
  - yeah, 1pm showing (instead of work) -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 10:55 1
    - I would think they'd rather do that than work. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 11:02

- A handful of mixed almonds and M*Ms. -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 21, 11:33
- All of it. -- nm - TWuG Jul 21, 11:13
- beer, obvs. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 21, 11:10 1
  - uh, wut? Beer isn't junk food. Beer is a completely separate glorious category. Beer is what one drinks when having junk food -- nm - JD Jul 21, 11:11
- Ruffles. Old school, straight up Ruffles Potato Chips -- nm - JD Jul 21, 11:06 8
  - Though if my doctors are reading: The Unsalted variant of Kettle Brand Potato Chips - JD Jul 21, 11:21 1
    - right? those and unsalted snyder pretzels aren’t always easy to find. — nm - i.b! Jul 21, 12:38
  - When Sour Cream and Cheddar exists? -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 11:15 1
    - Yup. I'm not a huge fan of flavored chips. If plain is available that's my pick over sour cream variants, bbq and so on -- nm - JD Jul 21, 11:17
  - Regular flavor and with no dip? -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 11:07 3
    - Exactly 😋 -- nm - JD Jul 21, 11:08 2
      - is it because it has Ridges ? -- nm - decline Jul 21, 11:13 1
        
        It might. There's definitely the appeal of the 'pure' potato and salt but now that I think about it, texture and mouth feel separate them from other - JD Jul 21, 11:16
- Chips. Salty food is my weakness. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jul 21, 10:58 1
  - Same. When I got my low sodium diet guidelines after my HBP diagnosis, I became super aware of how much of snacking was salty vs sweet - JD Jul 21, 11:01

    - I had a klondike bar for lunch -- nm - Beryllium Jul 21, 14:40
- I’m currently eating a Frosty -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 10:45
- Stroopwafel. Not sure if it qualifies as junk food but mmmmm -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 10:44 7
  - Definitely junk food and definitely good. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 10:50 4
    - Well yes but there's a marketing effort that they're exercise calories. Like they're at the counter at bike shops -- nm - JD Jul 21, 10:59 3
      - No doubt but Snickers are sold to hikers and it's also junk food. It can give you good energy if you're going to do some activities but - Krusty Jul 21, 11:01 2
        
        Oh and on that thought, I so, so miss Kudos which were candy bars with fancy marketing - JD Jul 21, 11:04 1
        
        Ha! I remember them and yeah, they were tasty but definitely not the healthy snack they marketed. -- nm - Krusty Jul 21, 11:09
  - Never heard of it, but sounds yum. I'll check the grocery store next time I go. -- nm - sycor Jul 21, 10:46 1
    - I got them once on a United flight I think and I was hooked. Trader Joes has them also in mini format but that just means you eat more -- nm - oblique Jul 21, 10:59

Joe Manchin found the one sucker dumb enough to publicly announce she’d vote for him, given a choice between Biden/Trump -- (link) - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 10:42 3
- If Manchin does this? He will be known in history as our Hindenberg. - Jovian Jul 21, 10:51 1

- at least Jason Kilar’s dumb idea to dump the first one straight to streaming had a germ of rationality given the circumstances. this is just Zaslav - hollywood big shot Jul 21, 10:39
- THEY HAVE NO CHOICE!!!* - David Jul 21, 10:38 1
  - They could pay scabs. I would be an excellent Duncan Idaho. -- nm - crash davis Jul 21, 10:43
