Below Deck Down Under Season 2: So far I like the deckhand with the Brooklyn accent who says he gets seasick, is afraid of water, and can't swim. -- nm - Dano Jul 24, 07:23 2
- do you think he's the one that gets fired? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 24, 07:28 1

Looks like Europe's plan to have Americans fill out visas is moving forward. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Jul 24, 07:16 5
- so an extra $ 8 fee. Money Grab and irritating. Sure, let's do it. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 24, 07:20 3
  - That's how Disneyland started! Soon it'll be $100 per day plus a mealpass! How much for the Fastpass, Brussels?! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 24, 07:49
  - The US already does it for many countries. You guys have the ESTA. It's US$21. -- (edited) - Andie Jul 24, 07:23 1
    - Ours is more expensive? that tracks. Stupid red tape. Ugh. -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 24, 07:25
- It's an ETA, not really a visa. Canada already has it for many visitors coming here. UK will be doing it too. -- nm* - Andie Jul 24, 07:17
Broadways New York, New York to close July 30. -- nm - MDH Jul 24, 07:14
So Israel became just like Turkey and Hungary this morning? -- nm - Jovian Jul 24, 07:05 1
- yes, “this morning” (unless you’ve been a Palestinian for decades) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 24, 07:07

only cause Andie was talking about her cruise, this is the family cruise I am going on next May - tRuMaN Jul 24, 06:31 12
- Looks pretty awesome! -- nm - sycor Jul 24, 06:56
- amazing! -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 06:54
- Wow! -- nm - Mop🧹 Jul 24, 06:50
- awesome! -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 06:48
- Nice! Is Norway the new hotspot or just coincidence that we have two STers cruising there? -- nm - Dano Jul 24, 06:45 7
  - honestly the other cruise that was discussed was a 12 night one that was just Norway and up into the artic circle. this one was more popular - tRuMaN Jul 24, 07:06
  - ST are trendsetters, not trendfollowers! -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 06:56 5
    - Based on my worldview I chalked it up to Below Deck doing a season there. -- nm - Dano Jul 24, 07:00 4
      - do we know if they're going back there? I didn't hate it. -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 24, 07:10 3
        
        I haven't heard that they are. Plus Captain Kerry is taking over for Captain Lee on the OG Below Deck. -- nm - Dano Jul 24, 07:18 2
        
        I somehow missed season 2? not on peacock? -- (link) - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Jul 24, 07:28 1
        
        That's actually not correct. Looks like they took info that Season 1 was debuting in Australia and thought it was Season 2. -- nm - Dano Jul 24, 07:53
LYC NMS: I am in Calypso and nearly died immediately - oblique Jul 24, 06:30
Happy New Futurama Episode Day to all those who celebrate -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 06:30
Andie have you used the paddleboard yet? we got one out Saturday and it works great. Hard workout to pump it up fully though - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 06:21 5
- Somewhat related, we used to have inflatable kayaks. They performed well but were too much effort to setup. - Fuzzy Jul 24, 06:57 2
  - we sold our inflatable kayak, it was too much work. -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 06:59 1
    - Exactly. By the time it was ready, I was too tired to paddle -- nm* - Fuzzy Jul 24, 07:06
- we are returning it, we could not get ANY of the fins in. We did all the things, hair dryer, etc. nothing worked. The board itself is great, we are - Andie Jul 24, 06:41 1
  - ahh; it did take some work for sure; we are leaving it blown up too and will just deflate at season end (and remove the fins) - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 06:52
ST Poll: Do you squeegee after you shower (the shower, not yourself) - oblique Jul 24, 06:17 8
- Yes, we got one of those bath fitter shower stalls -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 24, 09:27
- yes, but only on the glass parts. makes it stay nicer looking longer, but not worry about stains. -- nm - colin Jul 24, 07:07
- I did when we had the walk in shower. I'd do the glass once or twice a week. -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 06:49
- Old house yes, this house no. Glass is higher -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 24, 06:31
- Yep. Every time. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 24, 06:27
- nope. we have a spray bottle of shower stuff I spray around every third shower that helps with those -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 06:22
- No but we don't have any hard water issues. -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 06:20
- Not me. I've considered it, but that seems like too much work. -- nm - sycor Jul 24, 06:20
Weekend viewing: Flash C+, Blackening B, Silo e1 A+, SNW x2 A-/A+ -- nm - sycor Jul 24, 06:13 29
- Finally got around to Encanto, B -- nm - mara 🍂 Jul 24, 07:16 3
  - And now you have strong opinions on what the best song in the movie is. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 07:38 2
    - :-) I'd need to listen to the soundtrack a couple of times, I think. Nothing hit me like "We Know the Way" or "You're Welcome." -- nm - mara 🍂 Jul 24, 07:44 1
      - agreed. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 07:50
- Barbie (A) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 24, 06:42
- Nickelback Concert A, more episodes of Sirens B -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 24, 06:32 3
  - We have Nickelback this Saturday -- nm - JaxSean Jul 24, 07:19 2
    - The set list is great. His voice sounds fantastic. For an average middle of the road rock band, they put on a better show than most -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 24, 07:32 1
      - I won't ever buy tickets, but since we have the lawn pass, they're "free," so were going. - JaxSean Jul 24, 08:04
- Oppenheimer: B+. I'd have put it at A- if Nolan had brought it in under 2 1/2 hours. But, hey, no inaudible dialogue! - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 06:29 4
  - Also, RDJ should keep his schedule free for Oscar night 2024. Murphy is, of course, a lock nom. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 06:38 3
    - we won’t even get Killers of the Flower Moon for another four months -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 24, 07:06 2
      - That trailer in front of Oppenheimer was a doozy. Reminded me I have the book on my Goodreads list. Better get to it I guess. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 07:10
      - i have mixed feelings about Killers of the Flower Moon as a movie, esp this one. loved the book. -- nm - colin Jul 24, 07:08
- Barbie B- -- nm - LMS Jul 24, 06:21 6
  - [gasp] -- nm - mud Jul 24, 06:22 5
    - I think its a 3 star film, 20 minutes too long. -- nm - LMS Jul 24, 06:38 4
      - Almost every movie is at least 20 minutes too long. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 06:45
      - like many, i thought the last 20 minutes needed tightening - Andie Jul 24, 06:44 1
        
        Ruth’s montage is a gut punch. builds to it all so well -- (edited) - hollywood big shot Jul 24, 07:00
      - my london SIL felt similarly about the Ken of it all (i think they gave Ryan a musical number to sign him) -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 24, 06:42
- Jaws: A, Great British Sewing Bee: A -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 06:21
- 'God Is a Bullet' C+, TWD: Dead City S1 finale B- -- nm - mud Jul 24, 06:19
- First half of Black Panther 2 — B. Spoils in a general sense - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 24, 06:19 2
  - I think that one was my least favorite Marvel movie. Likely due to your last sentence. -- nm - sycor Jul 24, 06:21 1
    - I mean, there’s about 7billion people who aren’t MBJ or Chadwick but those two men just elevated their characters so much - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 24, 06:24
- I can't believe I'm going to type this but..."Barbie" - A -- (edited) - Mel Profit Jul 24, 06:17
- A Man Called Otto: A. Continuing to watch Poker Face. -- nm - oblique Jul 24, 06:16
- SNW x 2: A- (epi 6) / A++ (cross-over)...musical episode for #9 should be bonkers too, can't wait -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 06:15
Trademarking might be difficult for the X logo -- (link) - TWuG Jul 24, 06:13 3
- he's a genius -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 06:29
- If the double-struck Q represents rationals, double struck X must be irrationals. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 06:19 1
  - It does certain seem irrational. No... wait... It's just dumb. And slightly crazy. But mostly dumb. -- nm - sycor Jul 24, 06:22
"Lost" Steely Dan song -- (link) - TWuG Jul 24, 06:02 [youtube] 5
- *cat hiss* I loathe Steely Dan to an unexplainable and admittedly unnatural degree. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 24, 06:13 3
  - Same. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Jul 24, 07:49
  - I wouldn't say it's unexplainable. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 06:14 1
    - I'd sucker punch any of them if I saw them on the street. -- nm - Mel Profit Jul 24, 06:18
- So it was on their Grammy-winning album? -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 24, 06:07
Saudi club Al Hilal makes world record $332m bid for Mbappé -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Jul 24, 05:28 13
- related. so Mbappe wants to go play for Real Madrid, and his contract ends in June 2024 with PSG. So PSG is trying to force him to sign a new - tRuMaN Jul 24, 06:07 1
  - They’re trying. -- nm - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 24, 06:09
- "...but sources told ESPN that Mbappé is not interested in the offer." So happy to read that bit of info. - Krusty Jul 24, 06:02 9
  - It's monopoly money at that point. He's gonna get 100M from a Spanish club, what can you do with 700M that you can't do with 100M? - Reagen Jul 24, 06:09 1
    - A whole lot more charity. Personally, it would be wonderful to tell the Saudi's to go fuck themselves and that no amount of money is worth - Krusty Jul 24, 06:19
  - Well in this case it’s widely believed that he already has a deal in place to join Real Madrid next season. Also the $332M goes to the team, not him. - Volnelk 🍊 Jul 24, 06:08 6
    - So, I understand the offer is to the team so why should the player care how much they're offering a team he's leaving? - Krusty Jul 24, 06:24
    - his salary is reported to be 700M. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 06:09 4
      - I’m seeing 72mil a year in the current deal. -- (link) - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 24, 06:16 3
        
        That's what he's currently getting. The Saudi club offer is reportedly 700M euros for one year. -- (link) - Reagen Jul 24, 06:23 2
        
        Good lord. More power to him. I could do a lot of good with 700mil after selling my soul. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 24, 06:33 1
        
        Everything's got a cost, and some of it is monetary. -- nm - Reagen Jul 24, 06:50
- That's a lot of ba dupa dop. -- nm - Bari Seldon Jul 24, 05:54

Of course he changed the logo last night. 'Barbenheimer' was getting waaaayy too much attention and something had to be done! -- nm - Diva Jul 24, 05:00 9
- It’s so hard to get good branding, and he throws away something widely known for an icon my kid could duplicate in Paint in 5 minutes. -- nm - Will Hunting 🍔🍟🍔🍹🍷 Jul 24, 06:06 2
  - the only real asset Twitter had left was brand recognition, and yet... -- nm - Andie Jul 24, 06:12 1
    - heh -- nm - Pippy Quintas Jul 24, 06:34

  - probably something dumb like Xcite. or twXit. or twiX. -- nm - tRuMaN Jul 24, 05:20 2
    - I think there's a company out there that might have an issue with the last one. :-) -- nm - Krusty Jul 24, 05:20 1
      - i mean true. but also if the internet is believable, Musk has owned the X.com domain since his paypal days, so he really has wanted a reason to use it - tRuMaN Jul 24, 05:51
