*every* fucking WestJet flight. -- nm - Reagen Aug 4, 19:20 1
- What'd they do? -- nm - Beryllium Aug 4, 19:23
I've spiced up my family viewing of the Olympics with this historical tidbit. -- (link) - Max Aug 4, 18:51 5
- Just, like, why? -- nm - David Aug 4, 19:02 1
  - It doesn't make any sense at first glans. -- nm - Max Aug 4, 19:06
- dang, Max -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 18:52 2
  - I didn't demonstrate, I just showed the wiki images. -- nm - Max Aug 4, 18:53 1
    - mmmmhmmmmm -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 19:01
still, I maintain: there are few feelings better than when the power comes back on -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 18:50 2
- Not far behind: leaving an oil change feeling like the car has more horsepower and handles better -- nm - Max Aug 4, 19:23
- I want to bet untying the above post beats it. ;-) - Krusty, baseball fan Aug 4, 18:56

It's weird to me that the men's tennis is over already -- like 6 rounds in 8 days seems...unnecessary, no? - Will Hunting Aug 4, 17:46 1
- I think the main reason is that they're in the middle of the season, but one week is also normal for that size draw. - Dano Aug 4, 17:54
STIS! I'm in a major financial crisis. This post is the setup. - loosilu Aug 4, 17:31 24
- Just realized I skipped the crisis part. - loosilu Aug 4, 17:57 5
  - Since you presume to work soon, I'd be looking into options like Prosper to get a loan or line of credit in case of emergency. -- nm - David Aug 4, 18:06 4
    - I have to assume it's a crazy interest rate. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 18:09 2
      - The answer depends on credit scores, but Prosper rates start around 7 percent. They can get crazy-high for poor credit. - David Aug 4, 18:14 1
        
        thanks, greatly appreciate. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 18:50
    - I didn't know about this. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 18:07
- Current issue. - loosilu Aug 4, 17:39 8
  - - - amandaphone Aug 4, 18:28 1
    - Yes, I appealed. I only got the message I was denied two weeks ago. Yep it really took that long. - loosilu Aug 4, 18:51
  - can you make an appointment to see someone, or is it first come, first served each day there? -- nm - Peglegpete Aug 4, 17:58 2
    - more info, they make it EXTREMELY difficult to talk to a person, and they infamously use any excuse to deny benefits. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 18:57
    - It's walk up to the window. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 18:07
  - it seems like going in person couldn't hurt, worse case you burn part of your morning -- nm - rollo Aug 4, 17:42 2
    - agreed -- nm - prayformojo Aug 4, 17:56
    - I agree with that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 17:51
- turbo-reboot the resume, get it out there? -- nm - mud Aug 4, 17:39 1
  - Yes, that is not a problem. THe problem is that it takes several weeks to go through the process -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 17:40
- Over.... CBD? That's insane -- nm - colin Aug 4, 17:33 6
  - pretty in line with the federal government's stance on it though, which is to say insane. -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 18:00 3
    - Yes, completely insane. I can appeal it. I have to hire an attorney for several thousand dollars and it will take months. - loosilu Aug 4, 18:09 2
      - which is also insane! -- nm - mafic Aug 4, 18:13 1
        
        They treated me like a criminal. I was told I had to leave the building immediately. -- (edited) - loosilu Aug 4, 19:09
  - And I passed a no notice drug test. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 17:40
  - Completely insane. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 17:40
I like Kelly, but i'm not sure if he ad libs well. Shapiro is great at that. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 16:43 19
- I don't like taking him out of Arizona -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 16:44 17
  - I like having a border state dude on the ticket. But I want a governor, not a senator. Also Kelly is boring. - amandaphone Aug 4, 18:31 3
    - Agree with all of this. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 18:53
    - My gut feel - ty97 Aug 4, 18:33 1
      - I think you are correct. I hope that the people whispering in Kam's ear know this as well. -- nm - amandaphone Aug 4, 18:36
  - Hard agree. -- nm - loosilu Aug 4, 17:13
  - twin brother, nobody has to be the wiser -- nm - mr mooch Aug 4, 16:54
  - same. Though I'd love him as VP and hopefully an increase of work for Nasa -- nm - Remlik Aug 4, 16:50 9
    - "He is not a space guy, I'm a space guy. I created Space Force. Elon Musk is a space guy but I call Li'l Kim Rocket Man" -- nm - TFG Aug 4, 16:54
    - I think he'd be a great VP! Have to run the Senate calculus though -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 16:51 7
      - D governor appoints D replacement, special election for remainder of term in 2026, up again in 2028 for full term -- nm - Tim Aug 4, 16:57 5
        
        So, basically they'd had have an election every cycle since 2016. - Will Hunting Aug 4, 17:00 3
        
        and the seat up this year would be up again in 2030, so 8 straight cycles. -- nm - Tim Aug 4, 18:10 2
        
        *fist pump* -- nm - Arizona Media Ad Departments Aug 4, 18:22 1
        
        This is funny. -- nm - amandaphone Aug 4, 18:32
        
        Right, do we really need a midterm special with a Dem in the white house? That would be a tough swing. -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 16:59
      - Appoint Gabby Giffords to replace him, then save money on the carpool home to the VP residence. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 16:56
  - I agree with ty97 -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 4, 16:49

    - I think this one explains it (only torsos count, not limbs) -- (link) - mr mooch Aug 4, 18:09 1
      - What?? Not the feet? Okay, I had no idea. This is what comes of watching with the sound off, I guess. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 18:18
Murdle: 8:26 - prayformojo Aug 4, 16:24
Baron, you are to be commended for creating and running the Olympic pool. Thank you for contribution to the community. That said giving a 6.3 multiplier to that one nation is bogus. But otherwise, many thanks! -- nm* - crash davis 😺 Aug 4, 16:23 4
- Good job! You are hereby awarded any and all of my outstanding Qale points! -- nm - VMan Aug 4, 16:51 1

- Don't really have a pick TBH -- nm - ty97 Aug 4, 17:51 5
  - (Like, I have nothing against any of them, know very little about them, have no idea who it will be, have no favorite) -- nm* - ty97 Aug 4, 17:52 4
    - This -- nm - Krusty, baseball fan Aug 4, 18:11
    - It's actually nice that there's no one on the list that I'm not going, please not that person. - Dano Aug 4, 17:57 2

  - Shapiro has some serious issues -- (link) - colin Aug 4, 16:33
- Want: Kelly Expecting: Sinema - crash davis 😺 Aug 4, 16:30
- 1. Shapiro 2. Walz 3. Beshear 4. Kelly -- nm - mr mooch Aug 4, 16:29 3
  - I actually think that -- star of David and my own selfishness aside -- that this would be the ideal order. Winning is the most important thing though. -- nm - amandaphone Aug 4, 18:37
  - (the harassment case gives me serious pause about Shapiro but all other things being equal PA is the tipping point state so possibly worth the risk?) -- nm - mr mooch Aug 4, 18:06 1
    - Too much jew on one ticket. And I say this a person everyone assumes is Jewish. -- nm - amandaphone Aug 4, 18:33
- Mayor Pete -- nm - eag Aug 4, 16:27 1
  - Pete’s my favorite Dem since Obama, but he’s the youngest. I think we save him for later. -- nm - mara Aug 4, 16:53
- Want? Walz. Expecting? Shapiro. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Aug 4, 16:27

- I don't know if I've ever actually seen a team sixty games under .500 with over a quarter of the season left to go -- nm - crash davis 😺 Aug 4, 15:28 2
  - Orioles in 2018 (115 losses) were "only" 45 under 500 on August 4th. The 03 Tigers (119 L) were 51 under on 8/3 -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 4, 15:32 1

  - Pretty sure it’s for 423. -- nm - Dark Callisto 🦊 Aug 4, 15:30 1
