- I liked the UK version (non-celebrity) far more than I am liking the US version. Haven't gotten to Australia yet. -- nm - Volnelk Feb 7, 09:36 3
  - In the UK version I would be happy if any of them won, other versions not so many. -- nm - LMS Feb 7, 09:45
  - That is next after I finish up with the Aussies. (Question? Is there two UK versions? one w Celebs and one w/o?) -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 09:44 1
    - There hasn't been a celebrity UK version, just the two seasons with normals. - LMS Feb 7, 09:48
- I've been watching the 2nd series of the Australian version which is a mix of reality stars (who I don't know) and civilians, it's quite something. -- nm - LMS Feb 7, 09:15 1

  - They have custom window treatments! -- nm - Last Of My Kind Feb 7, 09:33
  - Those have been redone, so yes luxury towers -- nm - budice Feb 7, 09:32

      - seize it, eminent domain -- nm - hollywood big shot Feb 7, 08:56 6
        
        Not disagreeing with you. These things take time though, which is likely part of the holdup. -- nm - MDH Feb 7, 08:57 3
        
        Looking it up, there's a wiki page. The property has been listed for sale -- (link) - Roger More Feb 7, 09:00 2
        
        the problem seems to be even if you could buy it in a distressed sale situation, it still needs another $1b+ to complete the build out - hollywood big shot Feb 7, 09:10 1
        
        it's all the Chinese fault! -- nm - decline Feb 7, 09:16

Apple Is Reportedly Building Two Clamshell Foldable iPhones -- (link) - budice Feb 7, 08:16 4
- Of course they’re working on them. They were even patents last year. -- nm - spamlet Feb 7, 08:41
- Android foldables aren’t really working. I don’t think Apple is going to follow suit. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 08:18 2
  - But damn, they are amazing until they fail. A waitress where I eat has one and it is sweet. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 08:42 1
    - It makes a lot of sense using it for something so very low stakes like the Nintendo DS. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 08:49
Sometimes AI gives us amazing things. -- (pic) - TWuG Feb 7, 08:14 [Attachment] 5

  - looks like something from Canada, in the worst possible way. -- nm - mud Feb 7, 08:13
- That looks a lot of fun. But I have never heard or have seen any of these actors before. -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 07:55 9
  - Blame Canada. -- nm - mud Feb 7, 08:03
  - You never watched Whose Line is It Anyway? -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 07:58 7

Hey Krusty have you ever bought from goat.com? They some of the goretex 2002R that I'm considering but never heard of the site. - sycor Feb 7, 07:12 14
- Keep in mind that GoreTex might make the sneaker a bit stiffer and less breathable. I have a few with it and it's nice when it's raining - Krusty Feb 7, 09:44
- Yup. I've bought many pairs from them. They will take some time to get to you as they get shipped to Goat first to authenticate - Krusty Feb 7, 09:38 1
  - I think they're partners with Nike or some other big sneaker brand. They're legit and trustworthy. -- nm - Krusty Feb 7, 09:39
- Just don't confuse it with another website whose name starts with goat. - Baron the Wonder Horse Feb 7, 07:30 7
  - I had not thought about that horror in a very long time. Thanks, Baron. Thanks. -- nm - sycor Feb 7, 07:36

      - okayokayokay, I don't miss him! -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 07:59 1
        
        LOL. I miss Goat Boy too. That was a great SNL character at one point (and his only). -- (edited) - Jovian Feb 7, 08:04
    - Too bad he turned into an asshole - Reagen Feb 7, 07:33 1
      - Ah, I missed all that. Too bad. -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 07:58

Hey remind me ST, was last night a great night for the GOP or was it bad? -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 07:04 7
- Just politically, letting the impeachment vote happen without absolute certainty that they had the votes seems incompetent. -- nm - Dano Feb 7, 07:24 4
  - 'They hid people!!!' that was some of Republicans defenders last night on this failed vote. - Jovian Feb 7, 07:26 3
    - That sounds like a line from the Scooby Doo villain that got caught. - Strongbad Feb 7, 10:27
    - Say what you will admit Nancy Pelosi, she knew how to count to 218. -- nm - Reagen Feb 7, 07:31 1
      - And where to find the thumbscrews to make sure she got to that number. -- nm - Baron the Wonder Horse Feb 7, 07:32
- I guess it's a good time to be a Nevada GOP leader who is both indicted for the fake elector scheme yet still somehow in charge of running a caucus. -- nm - Qale Feb 7, 07:05 1
  - heh yep. and this also explains why on conservative radio this morning, THIS nonsense in Nevada was all they were talking about. - Jovian Feb 7, 07:15
RC, you're right. When I'm in a certain mood, this is my jam. RIP Toby. -- (link) - crash davis 😺 Feb 7, 06:54 [youtube] 23

  - maybe she (rightly) stands with The Chicks -- (link) - hollywood big shot Feb 7, 07:34
  - I'm going to go the other way on this one and suggest that loyalty and appreciation isn't always without cost, but goes to character. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:11 14
    - I had no idea they even knew each other... -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Feb 7, 07:26 2
      - apparently he helped her a bit early in her career when she was still just a teen. -- nm - Jovian Feb 7, 07:28 1
        
        I wonder which song is about him? -- nm - Spawn Feb 7, 07:29
    - just because she hasn't made a public statement, yet, isn't reason to assume she's done nothing or that she isn't planning to. -- nm - Andie Feb 7, 07:14 10
      - No, but the longer she goes, considering the role he played in her early career*, the more the rubber band gets stretched. - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:19 5
        
        sure, but this reminds me of people bitching about the cast of Friends not *immediately* putting out a statement when Perry died. Their friend died. - Andie Feb 7, 07:23 4
        
        Correct. -- nm - Strongbad Feb 7, 10:28
        
        That’s fair though they also weren’t the most spotlighted person in the world when he passed either. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:37

        agreed. -- nm - mud Feb 7, 07:32
      - its all nonsense. people and haters will find *anything* to support their irrational hate on someone who doesn't share their values or - Jovian Feb 7, 07:18 3
        
        *hand up* I'm not a Swift hater in the least and I think it's not a good look. Feels like a reasonable place to disagree. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:20 2
        
        I definitely was not talking to you specifically. I really meant in general when it comes to stuff like this. - Jovian Feb 7, 07:23 1
        
        Sure. A lot of it is culture war bullshit. (Complaining about culture war bullshit in 2024 feels as useful as complaining about winter. It just is.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Feb 7, 07:40
  - I did worse than not give condolences. I checked to see if he was booked for next month's Rodeo, and if so, maybe we'd get a better performer. - Qale Feb 7, 07:08

- You have to activate your cards? I just put my KTN in my reservation -- nm - ty97 Feb 7, 07:03 1
  - Well, the GE site said I should (might be for GE only) but I also didn’t have the KTN (just looked that up at the airport) so I may be able to use it - oblique Feb 7, 07:13
