        Now waiting for client sign off. Tick tock. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 14:20
Hey Qale do you have a movie theater near you? Can I send you a little cash to go see a movie this weekend? - sycor Apr 26, 13:36 7
- As I said to David I feel like I’ve asked for so much from you all. - Qale Apr 26, 13:42 5
  - yeah, go see ministry of ungentlemanly warfare. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 13:53
  - Like I said, it may not be much, but I want you use that money to treat yourself to a little something. Even if it's just junk food while you game. - sycor Apr 26, 13:51 1
    - Thank you. I appreciate that a lot. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 14:20
  - that's what friends are for brother -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Apr 26, 13:44 1

"Why do new generations keep on buying the biggest-selling record of the 70s? Slate's on the case" -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 13:21 6
- Spends a bunch of time talking up the slightly above average Silver Springs, and dismissing the pure genius of Go Your Own Way. Yeah, Slate is on it. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Apr 26, 13:38 5
  - Did you watch the video in the article? Whether you like the song or not, the end where's she's singing those accusatory lines directly to him, is - jnine Apr 26, 18:42
  - Silver Springs is *everything* -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Apr 26, 13:45 3
    - Yes. Silver Springs is one of those songs that Kim and I will repeat any time we hear it on XM. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:46
    - (and Rumours is brilliant) -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Apr 26, 13:46 1
      - I'm glad you like Silver Springs. I for my part though shall set as a 2025 goal, to be able to play the guitar solo on Go Your Own Way by 12/31/2025 -- nm - crash davis Apr 26, 14:04
Tornado looks CGI, but very real -- (link) - budice Apr 26, 13:15 5
- that's some amazing footage -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Apr 26, 13:29
- If tornadoes had names, this one would be Michael Bay. -- nm - Baron Kills World Apr 26, 13:26

- “Got themselves a bunch of corporate sponsors. They’re in it for the money, not the science.” -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 13:21
- jeebuz -- nm - oblique Apr 26, 13:19
Is there not a way in America to declare personal bankruptcy and sidestep debt obligations? - Loyola Apr 26, 13:00 34
- Yep. Was forced into when I got divorced and my ex filed for bankruptcy. Forced in that I had to protect myself - sycor Apr 26, 13:05
- Chapter 13 can help. Any semblance of regular income will mean you'll likely need to pay back all or part of it -- nm - budice Apr 26, 13:04
- There is. - Qale Apr 26, 13:04 1
  - If it’s even longer than that? It gets pretty awful in a hurry. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 13:05
- yes (subject to some exceptions like student loans) but it destroys your credit for seven years -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 13:03 28
  - I would do it in a heartbeat. I’d also get a car, not pay that off and then change address so they couldn’t repossess it. - Loyola Apr 26, 13:08 27
    - Cars today have satellite reception built in, so it can be gps'd to the area you park in. Steal a car to the murder you plan - zeitgeist Apr 26, 13:24 1
      - 1967 Mustang Fastback GTA. Problem solved. -- nm - The Last Of My Kind Apr 26, 13:39
    - well there are mechanisms for the court to unwind fraudulent transactions. it's not just a clean sheet order -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 13:14 24
      - Let’s buy Qale a car. There’s 2nd hand Volvo s40s here, 15 years old going for 800 euro. They’re bulletproof engines and still look nice. - Loyola Apr 26, 13:20 23
        
        I'd put in on it if we could get something more local and not have to deal with the import taxes/ issues. -- nm - sycor Apr 26, 13:25 18
        
        My point is, there must be brilliant 2nd hand cars over there to buy. - Loyola Apr 26, 13:28 17
        
        Cool. Look at this car. I bet you can find similar over there. -- (pic) - Loyola Apr 26, 13:38 [Attachment] 2
        
        I like that it is manual transmission. Few can drive them. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 13:46
        
        For Qale -- nm - Loyola Apr 26, 13:39
        
        This was definitely the plan before this happened. - Qale Apr 26, 13:31 13
        
        I like this car. I used to own one. Solid purchase. -- (pic) - Loyola Apr 26, 13:41 [Attachment]
        
        What's your Paypal? I'm sending you a $500 down payment right now. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:34 11
        
        I have to accept. And I am immensely grateful for help. - Qale Apr 26, 13:39 10
        
        and then I scrolled farther down the board, oops. — nm - i.b.! Apr 26, 14:25 1
        
        b! - Qale Apr 26, 14:49
        
        Sent. Let ST know how much the car costs, and I'm confident others will chip in. You have people who care about you, and we have your back. - David Apr 26, 13:42 7
        
        Looking like local around here at a national dealerships (never trust the hustlers), around $3600-5000 will get you a ~low mileage, 8-10 yr car. -- nm - whisper Apr 26, 13:59 5
        
        Get one for 1k. Is there an app to search for cars? -- nm - Loyola Apr 26, 14:03 3
        
        I could get it cheaper if I went to a hustle dealer, but having to get it repaired right after buying is not ideal. -- nm - whisper Apr 26, 14:26
        
        It's all but impossible to find a reliable car for that price in the US since the pandemic. If she found one for $3,600, that'd be remarkable. - David Apr 26, 14:05 1
        
        That happened here too. But I’m talking about 07 to 2010 cars. They must be for sale somewhere. For sale by private sellers. - Loyola Apr 26, 14:14
        
        Okay. Bery, could you add this to the top of the board so that we can help get Qale to that range? -- nm - David Apr 26, 14:01
        
        I will let whisper know. She has been good at finding these cars for her kids. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 13:43
        
        That’s impossibly kind of an idea. But think of the shipping costs. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 13:22 3
        
        Find a car locally at a reasonable cost, and we'll make it happen. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:30 1
        
        I'm in. -- nm - Mop🧹 Apr 26, 13:58
        
        Drive it home. - LFG Apr 26, 13:24
- doh, sorry Qale -- nm* - Max Apr 26, 13:02
I’m suspended, pending a decision likely Monday. -- (edited) - Qale Apr 26, 12:39 19
- I’m so sorry, Q. - i.b.! Apr 26, 14:14
- Damn. :-( I'm so sorry you're going through this right now. -- nm - Krusty Apr 26, 13:59
- Ugh! (NM) - Marlowe Apr 26, 13:57
- Ugh. Missed some of the details on what happened, wishing you were closer so there was something I could do. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 13:47 1
  - My journey will bring me back home to Atlanta, Georgia one day. Maybe sooner than I ever anticipated if there is a plan that makes sense. -- nm - Qale Apr 26, 14:57
- I wish to echo all the support everyone else has voiced. Know that you are deeply cared for -- nm - crash davis 😺 Apr 26, 13:33
- that sucks. -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 26, 13:25
- oh man, sorry to hear this -- nm - Max Apr 26, 13:05
- i am so sorry. -- nm - Andie Apr 26, 13:00
- Things will be ok. You will get another job. -- nm - Loyola Apr 26, 12:52
- I hate that you are dealing with this. Know we will offer any help you need. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Apr 26, 12:49
- I'm sorry you're going through this. We're here to help in any way that we can. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:48
- sorry man. -- nm - tRuMaN Apr 26, 12:47
- Ugh sorry man. Especially hate they are making you wait all weekend. -- nm - sycor Apr 26, 12:45 1
  - I’m not really waiting, honestly. I was pretty much giving up today. - Qale Apr 26, 13:01
- that sucks. sorry -- nm - mud Apr 26, 12:44
- really sorry to hear this -- nm - prayformojo 🐵 Apr 26, 12:43
- I know what is like to get fucked over by corporate. Sorry you're going through this. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 12:41
- Ugh. So sorry. -- nm - LFG Apr 26, 12:40
Zeke back with the Cowboys -- nm - budice Apr 26, 12:32
This really is the best thing in pro wrestling today. -- (link) - David Apr 26, 12:30 1
- *clap clap* -- nm - Tim Apr 26, 12:30
I think this may be the best I’m going to get, 12 months of SiriusXM Platinum for $4/month, and a $25 gift card back. - znufrii Apr 26, 12:27 16
- I need to call them to cancel to get a deal. Mine just renewed and it was $22-ish after taxes and stuff. I don't drive that much. -- nm - sycor Apr 26, 12:32 13
  - Ditching mine. I use Amazon Music or the I Heart app or Pete's station app 99% of the time now. -- nm - LFG Apr 26, 12:39
  - Yeah, we’re definitely not interested in paying full price for anything. - znufrii Apr 26, 12:35 9
    - I never listen at home. I usually listen to amazon music or Pandora. I guess I should check out the app. Usually the offer me around $5/mo and that's - sycor Apr 26, 12:38
    - I am curious how much we’ll actually listen once the Taylor Swift channel goes away though. -- nm - znufrii Apr 26, 12:37 7
      - That price and includes at least some of the expanded? Nice. My plan is (soon to be was) just the basic, so no Taylor, No U2 and is like $5 or $6 a mo -- nm - LFG Apr 26, 12:43
      - 80s, 90s, Pop2k, Comedy, Alt, HairNation, Lithium is my usual rotation -- nm - sycor Apr 26, 12:42 5
        
        Throw some First Wave in there and you have my presets. -- nm - LFG Apr 26, 12:45 4
        
        First Wave is the divide in my marriage. Kim has it as a preset. I resent its very existence. -- nm - David Apr 26, 14:02 1
        
        DTMFA -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 14:17
        
        I'll check out that channel, don't think I've heard it. -- nm - sycor Apr 26, 12:47 1
        
        IIRC it is at 33. Richard Blade hosts weekdays, like 4-9pm. It is the only channel I will honestly *miss*. -- nm* - LFG Apr 26, 12:52
  - I had success with their online chat the last couple years. -- nm - Tim Apr 26, 12:33 1
    - cool I'll give that a try. -- nm - sycor Apr 26, 12:37
- I mean, yeah. That's $2 a month. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:28 1
  - Right? - znufrii Apr 26, 12:36

the thing to know about the Thames is it’s a tidal river -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 12:17
As I barely follow football anymore this explained a lot about what the Falcons did -- (link) - Tim Apr 26, 12:12 26
- I just know they keep making it harder to support them not making a play for Lamar. - the wrong element Apr 26, 13:13 8
  - It's the same reason 30 other teams didn't make a play. Everyone knew Baltimore would match literally anything. - David Apr 26, 13:22 7
    - i think if someone had given him 100% guaranteed, Ravens would not have matched that but . . . we'll never know -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 13:27 6
      - He was never asking for 100% guaranteed. Just more guaranteed money than Watson. - Inigo Apr 26, 14:01
      - No sane team is going to do that, so it's a non-consideration. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:31 4
        
        would it have cost less than Cousins + Penix? maybe slightly -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 13:32 3
        
        I just checked. It's less than half. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:36 2
        
        but as Mahomes et al show, if it works out you just restructure a few years in anyway -- nm - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 13:37 1
        
        That's the idea with Cousins. It's a de facto two-year deal, but I'm not sure he can avoid being an idiot for two straight years. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:46
- I love that when reading about the Colts pick, I get this... - LFG Apr 26, 12:34 2
  - It's true. Latu is a gem, and everyone knows it. The only question is whether his neck will hold up. If it does, he's a multi-time All-Pro. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:36 1
    - I know docs cleared him, but yeah. -- nm - LFG Apr 26, 12:38
- They lose me here... - David Apr 26, 12:26 10
  - Yeah, but if you're picking 8th and you've gone in on a huge contract with Cousins because you believe you can win now, you pick another useful with - pmb Apr 26, 12:41 6
    - Cousins isn't medically cleared right now and will be 36 this season. This covers our bases so that we're not stuck with Heinicke starting. - David Apr 26, 12:50 3
      - Covering your bases is not picking an old injury prone rookie. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 13:05 2
        
        That's how I feel, but they have the medicals. -- nm - David Apr 26, 13:08
        
        LOF... oh... yeah. -- nm - Colts Apr 26, 13:07
    - And I'll add that a big part of my skepticism is Penix and whether he can stay healthy. I actually thought he was going to die in the Michigan game, - pmb Apr 26, 12:42 1
      - Yeah, I'm with you on that. Penix took fewer sacks in six seasons than Caleb Williams did last season, but he takes wipeout hits. -- nm - David Apr 26, 12:51
  - I agree with your IM. - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:33 2
    - Exactly. Basically, Blank wanted to know we had QBs for a while. - David Apr 26, 12:34 1
      - From what people say around here, he is the one that gave Devonta and Julio the money they wanted. -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:38
- This one is better. -- (link) - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:13 2
  - LOFL -- nm - LFG Apr 26, 12:19 1
    - I saw several references last night "did the Falcons just get booted from the room and went on Autodraft?" -- nm - Strongbad Apr 26, 12:22
Its supposed to be -10C here tonight and +17C here tomorrow. Thats a 27C (80F for the heathens) swing within 18 hours. That seems large. (link) -- (link) - Walt_Disney Apr 26, 11:50 2
- That's a swing of 49F. 80F is the equivalent of 27C, but the scales are offset by 32 degrees. -- nm - Reagen Apr 26, 12:15 1
  - Teacher is correct...my bad :P 27C still seems large -- nm - Walt_Disney Apr 26, 12:17
the National Enquirer should release all the Trump stories they killed as a book. it would make them a huge huge fortune :))))) -- nm - Peglegpete Apr 26, 11:45 1

Gaza debris may take up to 14 years to clear -- (link) - znufrii Apr 26, 11:41 2

  - They will have to clear debris to find what is left of them -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 12:04
Jackson Holliday cake going back into the oven -- (link) - hollywood big shot Apr 26, 11:37 2
