Metro is suspending service in an hour or so. I made the right call in not fooling around with this. It *should* be an excused absence, but… - Qale Jul 7, 19:04 4
- How serious is Beryl supposed to get there? -- nm - David Jul 7, 19:17 1
  - It's not a picnic. About 8-12 inches rain, 65-70 mph winds. Street flooding is all but assured. -- nm - whisper Jul 7, 20:13
- Best wishes for you both. Hopefully it blows over quickly! -- nm - Beryllium Jul 7, 19:14 1
  - Oh ha ha, Beryl. “Hope it works out!” You big blow hard, meany! - Qale Jul 7, 19:15

- Neat -- nm - Pippy 🇨🇦 Jul 7, 18:38
Florida outlawed strippers unless they are 21 and up. Not sure how I feel about this. People were let go from mid paying to lucrative jobs this week. - Pippy 🇨🇦 Jul 7, 18:19 2
- Your frontal lobe isn’t developed until you are 25! -- nm - Gen Z Puritans Jul 7, 19:07

- 287.9 Mbps download 437.5 Mbps upload -- nm - JaxSean Jul 7, 18:15 1
  - I've got upload jealousy. -- nm - David Jul 7, 19:12

  - Do you have any issues at that speed? -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:18 1
    - All the time. WFH and steaming don't mix very well. -- nm - Karl_S Jul 7, 19:30
- 397 down, 24 up -- nm - zeitgeist Jul 7, 18:08
- 101 down, 97 up -- nm - mud Jul 7, 17:57
- 120 down 20 up. I downgraded my service when the connectivity program ran out of money. - Qale Jul 7, 17:55
- 26 down, 20 up. National Broadband Network indeed. -- nm - mafic Jul 7, 17:52 2
  - Same question as above. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:18 1
    - Almost always fine. Sometimes annoying for big work files. I imagine could be an issue if everyone was streaming at the same time. - mafic Jul 7, 18:31
- 351 down and 12 up. I'm streaming a show on Plex from my friend's server at the moment. Not sure if that matters. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 17:43 5
  - Ooh, tangent. Is your friend's server local? I'm unclear on how this works on Plex. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:19 4
    - Nope. He's in Connecticut. I'm not sure how it works exactly but I can see his server on my Plex and I can stream it to any device. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 18:21 3
      - Hmm, I've got a lot of stuff I could load for STers if I figure out how this works. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:23
      - I have a lifetime membership for Plex. I can see his movies, TV shows, music, etc. -- nm - Krusty Jul 7, 18:23 1
        
        Yeah, I do, too. PlayOn actually changed me from lifetime to $39.99 annually, but I use the service so much I ignored the obnoxiousness of it. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:23
- 284.6 down, 239.1 up, ping of 7 (with a VPN running) - ReluctantCynic Jul 7, 17:41
- Wired I got 900+. Encourage use of Google DNS 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 for faster DNS and noticable faster page loads -- nm - budice Jul 7, 17:32 4
  - Yeah but google then know everything. -- (edited) - Karl_S Jul 7, 18:10
  - Randomly, I just went through that on an XBox. -- nm - David Jul 7, 17:34 2
    - DNS speeds make a difference. Some ISP just have slow DNS and Google, half-way across the US, is faster response -- nm - budice Jul 7, 17:35 1
      - DNS Benchmark Tool that can be ran from home. Provides recommendations on fastest DNS and reporting -- (link) - budice Jul 7, 17:37

not enough movies have Jesse Tyler Ferguson being eaten by a bear -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 17:28
I don't know what the right answer is regarding Biden stepping aside or not. Which I guess is good since I have no say in it :) - ty97 Jul 7, 17:25 15
- most tellingly (to me) other than a rah rah tweet the morning after the debate, Obama hasn’t come out for (or against) his own VP remaining in - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 18:43
- I think switch now they lose for sure. -- nm - mafic Jul 7, 18:02
- The Democrats have too long been a jobs program for the elderly for a new candidate to be a viable option. -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 17:49
- It's a terrible, terrible idea to switch candidates now, because there is no obvious candidate. It will be a horrific shitshow of infighting. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 17:29
- The solution is for everyone to get behind the candidate, put the spotlight on the convicted rapist/felon recently accused of pedophilia, and... - David Jul 7, 17:28 9
  - I think that Project 2025 is the actual albatross of this election. The fact that Trump is trying to distance himself from it is telling. -- nm - Volnelk Jul 7, 18:01 1
    - Agreed. The very minute a public figure mentioned it on TV, it was trending. He could not unhook fast enough -- nm - Pippy 🇨🇦 Jul 7, 18:13
  - 100% agree on your IM. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 17:55
  - I wonder how much of the strategy is to wait until closer to the election to really go after Trump. - Dano Jul 7, 17:46 1
    - I suspect that's been the media's plan, but there's a danger in sleeping this long. -- nm - David Jul 7, 18:20
  - Thank you. Ronan Farrow is on it, hopefully that means something. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 17:30 3
    - it does but until it breaks out of the MSNBC bubble it might not mean much -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 17:49 2
      - And that's MSM. No they are not liberal. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 17:59 1
        
        compared to FOX and CNN they are. -- nm - Remlik Jul 7, 18:05
- I don't know what's going to happen more than anyone else, but it seems like voters, while they may have some concerns, understand the stakes. - Reagen Jul 7, 17:27
The best hour-long no context, no commentary underwater rugby match video you’ll see today. -- (link) - Dano Jul 7, 17:18 [youtube] 1
- 3rd best, for me -- nm - prayformojo Jul 7, 17:22
My friend's brother played at Ringo's birthday party today! He's Ben Dickey, the first one up. - loosilu Jul 7, 17:04
During Money in the Bank and the NXT event they keep showing a clip of Rock from the WrestleMania documentary and it's hysterical. - Tim Jul 7, 16:53 7
- It’s wild how he has become the bad guy in his professional life. Black Adam broke him. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 7, 17:24 2
  - I think that's to far. He's not a bad guy. Sure is he Career centric, I think that's fair... - Remlik Jul 7, 17:52 1
    - The piece on him being exactly what he accused Vin of being was telling. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 18:20
- Rock clearly has let all his success go to his head a bit. -- nm - David Jul 7, 17:22 3
  - “I called Paul, I called Nick, I called Ari. And I said ‘here’s what I’m thinking.’” - Tim Jul 7, 17:29 1
    - I was cracking up when he said that. And the whole time he's saying 'in parallel to Cody's story we're building this as well' - Remlik Jul 7, 17:54
  - Like, literally? -- nm - Reagen Jul 7, 17:25

B2: if Bad Boys 4 can make around $200M domestic, then BHC 4 makes at least $250M no problemo -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Jul 7, 16:51 5
- Bad Boys 3 Box Office: $206 million, Beverly Hills Cop 3 Box Office: $42.6 million. -- (edited) - Inigo Jul 7, 18:57
- Fun fact: Eddie Murphy hasn't had a live-action film earn $200 million in 40 years. -- (edited) - David Jul 7, 17:19 2
  - This is a weird argument. How long had it been since Tom Cruise had a $700m hit before he did it with a 35-year-belated sequel to an 80s movie? -- nm - Max Jul 7, 17:28 1
    - His films before and after that were nearly at $1.4 billion. He’s still a draw. Murphy hasn’t been in 20 years. -- nm - David Jul 7, 17:32
- Yup. You nailed it. -- nm - MDH Jul 7, 17:14
ahh the 80's, when a 12 year old me got in to see the original Beverly Hills Cop -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Jul 7, 16:36 3
- I could be wrong but I felt like Axel F had more f bombs. -- nm - Max Jul 7, 16:41 2
  - I thought so, too. At least that's what I remember my dad saying. - ReluctantCynic Jul 7, 16:46
  - my dad came in when I was in the theatre watching (while 12); he asked "what the Hell kind of movie are you watching son?" -- nm - Beaker 🍻 Jul 7, 16:42

  - 😰 -- nm - JD Jul 7, 15:45
- When I went out at noon it was *only* 79 but with a 'real feel' of 91? Right now it's showing 78/84 but I think that's over on the west side. -- nm - Meg Jul 7, 15:30

I love Pete but he shouldn't be the Mets all-star. This has to be because they want him in the Derby. - Tim Jul 7, 15:16 4
- Grimace declined the invitation -- nm - TRENDING Jul 7, 16:14
- I'm SHOCKED an undeserving player would be named to an all star team!!!!! - King Of Oklahoma Jul 7, 15:49 1
  - You don’t, but Alonso said he only would if he made the team. -- nm - Tim Jul 7, 15:53

et tu, meathead? -- (link) - mud Jul 7, 14:57 7
- West Wing brain worm epidemic. also, the idea that Joe wouldn’t sue the shit out of the DNC if it tried to mutiny him is highly underrated -- nm - hollywood big shot Jul 7, 16:27
- I have something to say on this, but first let me wade through the crowd of electable, relatable Democrats with national name recognition -- nm - Roger More Jul 7, 15:53 5
  - The argument is that there are enough not Trump voters who are worried about Biden who would vote for a currently lesser known Democrat. -- nm - Dano Jul 7, 16:48
  - It's Pete and that's it. - Will Hunting Jul 7, 16:03 2
    - I don't think it's Pete. I think he needs a few more years and then it's him. -- nm - loosilu Jul 7, 17:31
