I’ve had a day. Flew to Palm Beach for a wedding. Headed to baggage claim to pick up our bags and they evacuated the airport due to a bomb threat. - pmb Dec 1, 13:51 1
- That sucks. I'm glad though that it was just a threat and you are okay -- nm - crash davis Dec 1, 13:58

George Santos can still keep his seat if Mike Pence has enough courage -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 1, 13:06 4
- Pence gets courage only after the Scarecrow comes up with the plan to save Dorothy. -- nm - Peglegpete Dec 1, 13:57
- I wonder if this all boils down to Santos at some point mishearing "fabulous" as "fabulist". -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 13:53
- Jeez, I still get ill thinking about how close we came, if pence had gone along -- nm - zeitgeist Dec 1, 13:35 1
  - as much as I loathe him. If he had abdicated that day, then the coup would have been a success. Fossil Grassley was more than ready that day. -- nm* - Jovian Dec 1, 13:39
I took my first dose of Concerta today and I'm losing my fucking mind -- nm - colin Dec 1, 13:04 1

Somehow at around 12:43 PM time slowed to a crawl. -- nm - Dano Dec 1, 12:57
I'd like to skip the town Christmas parade tonight, but if Hallmark is running my life, that is exactly where I will meet Lacey Chabert - crash davis Dec 1, 12:42 5
- you should set up a career counseling booth along the route -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 1, 13:54
- put a dab of musky/woodsy aftershave on! -- nm - Remlik Dec 1, 13:49
- excellent. Make sure to run in and fix the malfunctioning float, sort of quietly, and so only she notices. -- nm - Andie Dec 1, 12:44 2
  - outstanding advice 😺👍 -- nm - crash davis Dec 1, 12:49 1
    - Don’t forget to wink and make the shush signal to any kids who catch a glimpse of what you’re doing. -- nm - VMan Dec 1, 13:33
Powell: Fed rate cut speculation is 'premature,' rate hikes still possible - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:34 3
- He can't help himself at this point. He lives to spout doom and gloom -- nm - Pippy aka Roberto C Fishman-Pratt Dec 1, 13:23
- I don't advocate violence, but if Old Man Biden wants to gut punch the Fed Reserve Chair, I'll allow it. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 12:47 1
  - prolly shouldn't have renominated him when he had the first chance -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 1, 12:51
I gave my parents a coffee gift subscription for Christmas. They got the first bag today, and it just happens to be from their home state. - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:26 1
- I would guess that a local chain of espresso stands roasts their own beans and has other labels for grocery store sales. - zeitgeist Dec 1, 13:29
I referenced ICP in class today, guess why. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 12:23 10

- Magnets! -- nm - Roger More Dec 1, 12:26
- A lesson on magnets? -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:26 5
  - Magnetism in transition metals, but yes. -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 12:32 4
    - Mmmm, periodic table... Sometimes I wish I had gone into chemistry. - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:39 3
      - The labs are the fun part! -- nm - Reagen Dec 1, 12:42 2
        
        This. Though the write ups are sometimes not so much -- nm - JD Dec 1, 13:06 1
        
        I hated the lab time sink, so I went into math. No labs there! -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 13:20
- My guess is that ... there's magic everywhere in this bitch. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 1, 12:26
If you don't have an XBox X and want one, this deal is crazy. -- (link) - David Dec 1, 12:21 35
- I already bought myself a Chromebook for Christmas. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:37 1
  - That's the hottest new Christmas song of the season... At least according to my Google searches. -- nm - Mop🧹 Dec 1, 13:16
- It's $469. I saw a slickdeal for these for $399 black friday, so this is still crazy, but not insane. -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 12:30 20
  - It's $349 on my screen. -- nm - David Dec 1, 12:33 19
    - 469 for me. -- nm - Remlik Dec 1, 12:34 17
      - Weird. Let's try this. Click from here... -- (link) - David Dec 1, 12:36 15
        
        says 349 at your link but 432 at amazon -- nm - Remlik Dec 1, 13:15
        
        $432 -- nm - Krusty Dec 1, 13:06
        
        This is my screen right now. -- (pic) - David Dec 1, 12:37 [Attachment] 12
        
        When I clicked from the Gamespot thingie, it was $349. But not bundled with Diablo, just the console. (NM) - Marlowe Dec 1, 12:50
        
        Ill see mentions of $349 with other package options, click it. Then shows full $469 price. -- (pic) - budice Dec 1, 12:46 [Attachment] 6
        
        Yeah, after searching for Xbox and poking around I got it to come up -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 12:50 5
        
        ...and now it's sold out. -- (pic) - JaxSean Dec 1, 12:53 [Attachment] 4
        
        yeah, I suspect various parts of the site are caching a discounted price which resolves when you actually try to check out. how ever many of those - oblique Dec 1, 12:54 3
        
        rats -- nm - Remlik Dec 1, 13:29
        
        So, that's how great a deal it was! -- nm - David Dec 1, 12:55 1
        
        definitely -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 12:59
        
        Yeah nope, $469 for me. Odd -- nm - JaxSean Dec 1, 12:42 3
        
        Same: $468.70 -- nm - ReluctantCynic Dec 1, 14:03
        
        $432.31 for me -- nm - Dano Dec 1, 12:43 1
        
        I think that's the Amazon one. -- nm - David Dec 1, 12:48
      - same -- nm - decline Dec 1, 12:35
    - (with Diablo IV) -- nm - David Dec 1, 12:33
- Sell crazy someplace else, I'm all stocked up here. - Beryllium Dec 1, 12:22 11
  - I bought a star tracker yesterday as my Christmas present to me from my wife -- (link) - oblique Dec 1, 12:39 1
    - Nice! I need to go something like this before the next lunar eclipse. And probably a better lens. -- nm - sycor Dec 1, 13:35
  - as you are a camera person, do you think its worth it to have a smallish point and shoot camera - tRuMaN (materially correct) Dec 1, 12:32 5
    - I still carry my Canon SX720 when I want something small and compact. The zoom is great at 40x optical. Better than most any smart phone. -- nm - sycor Dec 1, 13:39
    - (yes) - JaxSean Dec 1, 13:01 3
      - I think the thing to keep in mind is that your phone is a combination of a lens + post processing (there is a LOT of auto-processing happening) - oblique Dec 1, 13:04 2
        
        the other benefit I can think of is that P&S camera would have a larger sensor, meaning potentially better pics in some regards - tRuMaN (materially correct) Dec 1, 13:06 1
        
        substitute lens/sensor with lens in my reply - oblique Dec 1, 13:31
  - Oh you finally decided? Hope you get to use it soon and get some good shots. -- nm - sycor Dec 1, 12:30 2
    - No good shots yet. -- (link) - Beryllium Dec 1, 12:54 [flickr] 1
      - Bokeh! -- nm - sycor Dec 1, 13:33
Can I get an LDB ruling? My mom was humming to herself in the kitchen and hummed LDB. I think I'm burned. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 12:05 18
- It has to be a broadcast or a performance. One person singing it to themselves can't knock you out (shouldn't) -- nm - rollo Dec 1, 13:59
- out :( and you should make your mom make you something special! -- nm - decline Dec 1, 12:36
- I accept the verdict. I'm inclined to believe that any hearing of the tune/melody (short of someone intentionally screwing you) qualifies. -- nm - Mop Dec 1, 12:28 1
  - I believe you have fallen unnecessarily on your sword. - Loyola Dec 1, 12:31
- The fact she was humming to herself though, and nobody else was meant to hear it, does make it an interesting dynamic. You need legal representation - Loyola Dec 1, 12:21 8
  - I mean, if that counts as out, aren’t we in point of fact condoning LDB terrorism where anyone of you could call someone else and hum it down the - Loyola Dec 1, 12:23 5
    - But using a proper cat's paw, the victim would never know they were LD-sabotaged. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:28
    - that's intentional, that does not count. Mop had more of a chance encounter with a random caroller in the kitchen, -- nm - Andie Dec 1, 12:25 3
      - But he had a reasonable expectation not to meet an intruder caroller in his home. - Loyola Dec 1, 12:28 2
        
        danger lurks everywhere. -- nm - Andie Dec 1, 12:28 1
        
        What if, for example, one of the ST couples had an argument and to get revenge, one party of the couple hummed LDB as the other entered the room. - Loyola Dec 1, 12:44
  - i think that is exactly WHY he was out actually. -- nm - Andie Dec 1, 12:22 1
    - #Mopisnotout -- nm - Loyola Dec 1, 12:24
- I voted for acquittal, Mop, but I was overruled. -- nm - B'nai B'ron Dec 1, 12:17
- *pens script for Soccer Mom, Assassin Mom* -- nm - crash davis 😺 Dec 1, 12:14

- You’re out, sorry. -- (edited) - znufrii Dec 1, 12:06
watching the first 2 eps of Slow Horses s3, my main gripe stands (so much of the plots turn on Rivers acting like an absolute muppet all the time) -- nm - hollywood big shot Dec 1, 11:27 3

IMO: If someone hums or sings the song and isn't doing it on purpose to knock you out and doesn't know you're playing, it counts. - Krusty Dec 1, 10:30 7
- Disagreed. Unless reading the lyrics counts. - Spawn Dec 1, 11:17
