I just heard a report on the radio that they think we might have had a small earthquake on Roosevelt Island. Some people report hearing what sounded - Krusty Jan 2, 08:09 4
- Looks like it was a building explosion of some kind and not an earthquake. No seismic activity noted by the US Geological Survey. -- (link) - Krusty Jan 2, 08:12
- I blame Oak Island -- nm - tRuMaN Jan 2, 08:11

        I use a VPN normally but the BBC is rather good at blocking it. I'll likely have to ride the high seas to get it. Geoblocking is ridiculous at this - Krusty Jan 2, 08:23

Tough to figure out who to root for in tonight's Kings - Leafs game. Leafs are going to start a 6'7" dude in goal - crash davis 😺 Jan 2, 07:20 4
- This guy could just lay down sideways and block 75% of the goal -- nm - JaxSean Jan 2, 07:56 1
  - Raising the puck off the ice remains the moonshot of hockey. -- nm - Reagen Jan 2, 07:57
- goals are only 4 ft high and 6ft wide. They need a guy who's 4'7" but is like really, really wide -- nm - decline Jan 2, 07:35 1

DMM: Ferrari or Iron Claw? -- nm - spamlet Jan 2, 06:58 12
- Normal Fare: Ferrari ...Something Deeper: Claw -- nm* - budice Jan 2, 07:10
- i'm seeing Ferrari tonight. Iron Claw is good but also seems to act like the matches' outcomes weren't decided beforehand, which makes the drama hard - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 07:07 3
  - I wonder -- has the director or anyone said that was intentional? - Will Hunting Jan 2, 07:39 2
    - not sure. but a central conflict is Fritz bullying Kevin for not "winning" matches against the NWA champs when it's clearly not how things worked - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 07:42 1
      - Yeah, that would be weird... - Will Hunting Jan 2, 07:44

- and they made you partner? -- nm - hollywood big shot Jan 2, 07:08 2
  - I really should have my own charger here I think -- nm - oblique Jan 2, 07:17 1
    - You're a partner at the firm and you don't have your own charger yet? - ReluctantCynic Jan 2, 07:19
- Do you have two vehicles? We're strongly leaning towards keeping a second ICE vehicle once we get our Fisker - JaxSean Jan 2, 06:52 3
  - I do. I could have taken my wife's car this morning but I didn't. Finding charging isn't a big deal. My problem to deal with. Hers is a PHEV so -- (edited) - oblique Jan 2, 06:55 2
    - Thanks - JaxSean Jan 2, 07:04 1
      - Yeah. It's a safeguard for us. We could do the long trips. It would just add time so we've chosen convenience because we have the option. The PHEV - oblique Jan 2, 07:17
