One Piece has been renewed for S2 -- (link) - JaxSean Sep 14, 13:14
LIR - Trevanian's book Shibumi is one of my very favorites. All of the philosophical stuff in it is what I like the most. -- (edited) - JenBro Sep 14, 13:04
Wembley AEW had a turnstile attendance of just about 72k, significantly under their announced total of 81k (which broke WWE’s attendance record) - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:49 4
- Meltzer says that the 81k figure is correct and that it's probably a combo of the train strike and unsold scalped tickets. - David Sep 14, 13:08 3
  - Sales is right but attendance was the record they claimed. Both can be right. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 14, 13:18
  - There's probably a pretty fascinating story on tickets sold and not used in the post-COVID world of insane concert prices/number of tours/shows. -- nm - Qale Sep 14, 13:16
  - I think he said it was correct for sales but not attendance. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 13:15
i dunno but if one senator in the opposing party was decimating the upper ranks of the military for years to come, i might make a fuss about it -- (link) - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 12:22 11
- all by design. Once the King returns this will all be filled with loyal soldiers. -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 12:31
- (especially if his tantrum was over the one issue that's been making my own party overperform in off-year elections) -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 12:25
- Looking forward to this becoming a GOP attack line about Democrats not supporting our military. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Sep 14, 12:25 8
  - it wont. wont need to. We are almost at the end. - Jovian Sep 14, 12:32 7
    - Lol, ok. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Sep 14, 12:36 6
      - actually I stand corrected, its just 16 months remaining until his coronation. -- nm* - Jovian Sep 14, 12:37 5
        
        Sure, Jan. -- nm - znufrii, vice president Sep 14, 12:38 4
        
        I called the coup, I called normal republicans starting to resign and I am also calling DJT return to the WH and the end of the Republic. - Jovian Sep 14, 12:39 3
        
        Now name all the stuff you called that wasn't right like Biden winning, Georgia twice, the Senate, the House Race being a blowout and so forth. - David Sep 14, 13:09 2
        
        I didnt call any of those things though. :) - Jovian Sep 14, 13:10 1

Ashoka ep 5 thoughts (spoils) - eag Sep 14, 11:54 4
- it felt like an ep that probably landed harder for fans of the animated Clone Wars series - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 12:03 3
  - havent watched this on yet, but (based on the minimal spoilers above) it sounds like boilerplate filler episode? -- nm - Jovian Sep 14, 12:06 2
    - Spoils - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:09 1
      - heh (spoils I guess) - Jovian Sep 14, 12:11

MGM Vegas as of last night: 1)Check-ins manually 2)Slot & VP machines paid out manually 3)TVs not working 4)Parking free 5)Phones are down -- nm - budice Sep 14, 11:24 7
- Holy shit, STILL??! that is a huge disaster. I see people in comments still flying in and staying there - Pippy the Lioness Sep 14, 12:00 3
  - haaaaa ... I went to Vegas and had a slot machine "hand pay" ... for $1.23 -- nm - JenBro Sep 14, 12:05 2
    - hee! - Pippy the Lioness Sep 14, 12:25 1
      - same ... I have to admit - I miss back when it would spit out coins and you'd get $50 worth of nickels filling tubs and they'd have a heavy bag to - JenBro Sep 14, 13:06
- Everything's fine. Nothing to see here. -- nm - Mop🧹 Sep 14, 11:33 2
  - Just makes you want to go to Vegas sometime soon -- nm - budice Sep 14, 11:34 1
    - I'm going every other weekend in October -- nm - JD Sep 14, 11:36
Star Wars Lando moves from Tv to Movie form -- (link) - Remlik Sep 14, 11:20 2
- I wonder if this gambit would've helped Book of Boba Fett? It certainly seemed like they had too few ideas to justify a whole series. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 12:55
- giggity -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 14, 11:31
Speaking of cell phones and international, I'm somewhat nervous that I didn't do it right and am going to be hit with a big bill. - Dano Sep 14, 11:15 4
- i have never had a problem with that and yet every single time i feel sick worried that something went wrong. -- nm - Andie Sep 14, 12:28
- you should probably start filling out the paperwork for a HELOC now -- nm - decline Sep 14, 11:39
- $1 Billion dollars -- nm - budice Sep 14, 11:37
- Shouldn’t have been. Should be $10/day capped at $100. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 11:17
AEW: Jade Cargill finishing up and is WWE bound. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 11:09 10
- This was the rumor I reported last night, but it's now been refuted by others. She is a free agent and weighing her options. -- nm - David Sep 14, 11:53 1
  - will be interesting to see where she lands -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 12:03
- Honestly, she really does feel more WWE than AEW to me. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 14, 11:16 7
  - I agree (mostly), but I think she will be pretty unhappy in WWE. - the wrong element Sep 14, 12:02 1
    - If she's going to WWE, they're letting her set her schedule. -- nm - David Sep 14, 12:04
  - Yeah. She's going to be a star and NXT is really going to help her. -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 11:19 4
    - If she's Endeavor's first big hire, I doubt she goes to NXT. If anything, she's probably world champion in two months. -- nm - David Sep 14, 11:57 3
      - Hell, if Endeavor is serious about maximizing NXT as a 3rd brand, she is Becky’s surprise opponent. - Will Hunting Sep 14, 12:56
      - Yeah, but that will only last like 3 weeks. - the wrong element Sep 14, 12:04 1
        
        It'll be interesting to see what all she negotiates here if she does leave. She's not a good wrestler, but Rousey... - David Sep 14, 12:07
36 Ways To Work On Your Mental Fitness Every Day - crash davis Sep 14, 11:03 6
- My mother has recently starting doing Wordle and Connections every day I think in part to stay mentally sharp. -- nm* - 99 Luftbaron Sep 14, 11:11 2
  - That is what I'm trying to do. It isn't the joy of looking at four words and saying "That is a really stupid category" -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:12 1
    - LOL. I am enjoying it so much, it is ludricious -- nm - Pippy the Lioness Sep 14, 12:01
- #14 presents a particular challenge for me - crash davis Sep 14, 11:04 2
  - Well clearly you need more graphic novels! -- nm - Remlik Sep 14, 11:06 1
    - Clearly! -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:13
I have a really dumb question. The travel agency I booked my Japan trip with is giving me a SIM card upon arrival. Why would I need that? -- nm - Diva Sep 14, 10:54 11
- Keep in mind that what that SIM card gives you is a phone number in that other country. So, you have the opposite situation of using your US phone - oblique Sep 14, 11:59 1
  - I won't be making phone calls. It's 2023. - Diva Sep 14, 12:02
- mafic is a recent world traveller and is a good resource for this -- nm - budice Sep 14, 11:18 2
  - like he walks to the store for milk without a full satphone in his pocket -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 11:21 1
    - He's just happy to see you -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Sep 14, 11:28
- Maybe to avoid roaming charges? - the wrong element Sep 14, 11:00
- Like colin said, it's for cheaper/faster internet. Not all phones have SIM slots anymore though and your phone may not be unlocked to be able to use. - spamlet Sep 14, 10:59 2
  - Cool -- (edited) - Diva Sep 14, 11:01 1
    - T-Mobile is good for that but your speed may vary. Sometimes it's great, sometimes it's not. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 11:05
- SIM card will get you on mobile internet with your phone. your US provider might work over there, but it'll generally be slow or cost a lot of money. -- nm - colin Sep 14, 10:57 1
  - Thx! My service won't cost extra for data and text, but this is good to know. - Diva Sep 14, 10:59
Hunter indicted, 3 gun charges -- (edited) - mud Sep 14, 10:53 16
- So Joe Biden has weaponized the DoJ against his own son. Got it. - Jovian Sep 14, 11:51 2
  - heh -- (link) - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 11:56 1
    - heh. its funny though, even before I saw these new indictments drop, I was trying to understand why the maga nuts were barking about a new conspiracy. - Jovian Sep 14, 12:01
- 'He wound up possessing the gun for 11 days, and during that time “he purchased and used crack cocaine regularly,” the filing continued' -- nm - decline Sep 14, 11:36 2
  - I mean, I'm just not sure how a 5+ year investigation that includes a Special Counsel and probably cost millions of tax payer dollars was - decline Sep 14, 11:38 1
    - Trump-appointed AUSA -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 11:45
- What about DeeDee McCall? -- nm - Dano Sep 14, 11:17
- Between Trump's Multiple Felony Convictions and a Biden's Plea Deal, It's Hard For These Swing Voters to Figure Out Which Candidate Is The Real Criminal -- nm* - NYT Pitchbot in a year Sep 14, 11:17
- LookING forward to the "if they can charge him, they can charge you" calls from the GOP. -- nm - TWuG Sep 14, 11:15 1
  - It does seem like an excellent opportunity for the Dems to flip it on the GOP and start running ads about it. -- nm - sycor Sep 14, 12:28
- So conservatives will now be pushing for harsher penalties for gun possession charges. Got it. - howie Sep 14, 11:13 1
  - oh we're not selling guns to self-admitted addicts now? not in MY America, Brandon -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 11:22
- ok -- nm - Qale Sep 14, 11:12
- I am trying to think what my perspective would be if Erik or Don Junior were the ones being charged. - Beryllium Sep 14, 11:03
- Glad we set up a special counsel for that. -- nm - pmb Sep 14, 10:58 1
  - I wonder if that's what they had ready and since the judge was asking them to move it along we'll get an superceding indictment on the tax stuff later -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 11:02
I get happy whenever I see the Mariners hit 81 wins. Checking the standings, I send out powerful waves of empathy to spamlet and Flavorize. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 10:51 3
- hey what about me? dont I get waves of empathy? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 14, 10:58 2
  - You did. I just sent them out much earlier than today. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 11:02
  - Well considering the Royals have a winning record against exactly one team and it's us... -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 11:00

- I miss Frankie. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Sep 14, 10:34 3
  - Frankie say blow -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 10:45
  - Here you go: Hurricane Lee to Hit New Brunswick on Sunday September 17, 2023 -- (link*) - Beaker 🍺 Sep 14, 10:42 [youtube] 1
    - (Saturday 3 AM to 3 PM is the brunt I am told for NB) -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 14, 10:54
- *wanders about aimlessly, muttering to herself quietly* -- nm - Hurricane Margot Sep 14, 10:33

How Deion Sanders Made Colorado Football the Center of the Sports Universe -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Sep 14, 10:10 4
- Fine be the center. But the Kraken galaxy is just right for me. -- nm - crash davis Sep 14, 10:52
- Step 1. Be Deion Sanders. -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Sep 14, 10:17 1
  - Yep. That was the PTI reaction to "Are other schools going to try the Colorado formula?" and the answer was like "Yeah, they're going to try, but..." - Volnelk Sep 14, 10:37
- 848 reporters were credentialed for the Nebraska, surpassing the old Colorado program record by more than 200. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 14, 10:11
someone must have told KK that despite the release date fuckup, fans like Solo best of all the Disney movies so far -- (link) - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 10:07 5
- Solo really is the most fun. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Sep 14, 10:50
- Also: Donald Glover’s ‘Mr. & Mrs. Smith’ Remake Delayed to 2024 -- (link) - Mop🧹 Sep 14, 10:32
- Solo is second for me next to Rogue One, BUT the one I like to rewatch the most -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Sep 14, 10:09 2
  - Rogue One is a better film, IMHO, but Solo is fun. More fun than I expected. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 14, 10:24
  - if they had just pushed it to that Xmas, it prolly woulda been fine -- nm - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 10:11
My DTL team would be a lot better if they played a lick of defense. - 99 Luftbaron Sep 14, 10:01 2
- I really wish Rankin was a smaller tie. IRL, we'd be #2 (or #3 at worst) in his list of preferences because he's E+ win but on a 18/18 it's moot. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 11:31 1
  - You have a 6% chance instead of 5%. Woo hoo! -- nm - 99 Luftbaron Sep 14, 11:51
The Absolutely Final Voyage of the Norwegian Demeter -- (link) - hollywood big shot Sep 14, 10:00
Has MDH stopped laughing (or crying?) about the Delta changes yet? -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:00 7
- what is the value of having a delta branded credit card in this new world order? -- nm - 🏳️‍🌈 judge jones 🏳️‍🌈 Sep 14, 10:02 5
  - If you don't fly frequently/have status, the cheap-fee Delta card still has a free check bag I think? And perhaps a slightly better boarding group? - ty97 Sep 14, 10:06 4
    - You do get spending dollar credit but it’s like 10/1 or 20/1 depending on card. -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:07 3
      - Right, but that ratio is 100% not worth it. Just use a cash back card and use that cash back to book a first class ticket instead. -- nm* - ty97 Sep 14, 10:10 2
        
        Oh agreed -- nm - spamlet Sep 14, 10:35
        
        (If you stick with the DL card, you are earning SkyMiles which are....not useful) -- nm* - ty97 Sep 14, 10:11
- REB2: RC with where you are based, yeah, Alaska is a good bet (* unless they pull something similar) -- nm - ty97 Sep 14, 10:02

I don’t know what’s more pathetic, Megyn Kelly’s pandering attempt for relevance, or Trump forgetting he’s the one who gave Fauci a presidential commendation -- (link*) - znufrii, vice president Sep 14, 09:54 1
- aww leave Megyn alone, she's found herself a nice corner in the maga grift world. - Jovian Sep 14, 10:02
