New Citadel show in Prime? Interesting. -- nm - Beryllium Oct 10, 12:55 3
- I tried watching it. It's dubbed in English, and the dialogue isn't great. Some of the action is decent but I doubt I'll go through it all. - Max Oct 10, 13:23
- This makes me think of Mass Effect. And how it is *criminal* that this property has never been adapted. -- nm - Jovian Oct 10, 13:05 1

Throwback to a discussion we had a few weeks ago. Why politics today feel so zero sum and broken. -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Oct 10, 12:45 3
- it think they feel zero-sum/broken 98% because billionaires like Rupert Murdoch and Elon Musk want half the electorate (or more) to feel that way -- (edited) - mr mooch Oct 10, 13:44
- It's because you are on the Internet too much. Next question. -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 13:37

For those of you who have investment in 12V / 20 V battery packs for tools, there's adapters to provide USB and sometimes AC power -- (link) - JD Oct 10, 11:34 4
- Those things don't have that much power. The guys building the deck switched out every 20 minutes or so just drills -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 10, 12:09 2
  - Though the electrical to mechanical requirement for a drill is way in excess of what it would take to charge a phone -- nm - JD Oct 10, 12:22 1
    - Yes but I'll bet the cost of the converter is much more than buying a couple phone sized batteries...also - zeitgeist Oct 10, 12:31

In my latest DTL match-up the score was 62-58 at the half. The two teams combined to shoot 70.8%. Defense, anyone? - Bayronmax Oct 10, 11:15 2

would SNF lose a single viewer if Carrie Underwood didn’t sing the theme song? -- (link) - mr mooch Oct 10, 11:12 14
- I didn't even know she sang the song. It's such a meaningless part of the game I couldn't imagine paying someone $18m to do it. -- nm - Krusty Oct 10, 12:48
- Nice work if you can get it. Didn't they have Shania Twain sing it for a couple years? -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 10, 12:07 2
  - Never mind, it was faith -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 10, 12:12 1
    - and Pink did it as well -- nm - Remlik Oct 10, 12:52
- Good for her! I mean it's ridiculous money, but everything with the NFL and broadcasts is, so good for her getting her piece. -- nm - ty97 Oct 10, 12:02 2
  - Weren't they saying at some point, the half time entertainers have to pay them? This would fly in the face of that. -- nm - Pippy aka Couch Therapist Oct 10, 12:06 1
    - That's an NFL policy vs how NBC chooses to spend their money for their one game a week coverage. The song isn't technically part of the game -- nm - JD Oct 10, 13:27
- Good gig -- nm - JD Oct 10, 11:57
- good gravy -- nm - prayformojo Oct 10, 11:49

Is cottage cheese a food that universally divides people? I really like it. My wife convulses at its very mention -- nm - prayformojo Oct 10, 10:52 25
- I do not like the texture or taste either -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 10, 13:07
- Yes. I find it disgusting while Theresa enjoys it. -- nm - Krusty Oct 10, 12:50
- I like it a lot - but it has to be super cold. If it even starts toward room temp, I'm out. -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 10, 11:31
- Sub-poll for the cottage cheese dislikers: your opinion of ricotta cheese por favor? -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 11:24 10
  - I absolutely love it! I eat it often though I should cut back on the dairy these days. I make spaghetti with just ricotta and the pasta water. It's so - Krusty Oct 10, 12:51
  - it's great in cannoli's -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 10, 11:30 8
    - Never had it in cannoli. I like it in calzone and one of my favorite all time empanadas is the fried ricotta and mushroom at Empanada's Place. -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 11:32 7
      - You've never had a cannoli?!? Can I send you some? -- nm - Krusty Oct 10, 12:52 6
        
        You're very kind, I've had some in Little Italy! It had a thick creamy filling but I didn't recognize it as any type of cheese. Maybe it was *shrug* -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 13:02 5
        
        Nice! :-) It was ricotta. It's mixed with powdered sugar, vanilla and cinnamon in a mixer which makes it nice and smooth. - Krusty Oct 10, 13:12 4
        
        Huh, that's pretty cool. I remember having a half chocolate covered kind and like the plain kind. -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 13:18 3
        
        Yeah, I had no idea it was ricotta cheese when I was a kid and it kind of blew my mind when I was told. Some places do a chocolate dip or other things -- (edited) - Krusty Oct 10, 13:27 2
        
        That's right, I remember the tiny chocolate chips! It's been a long time. -- nm - con_carne Oct 10, 13:34 1
        
        :-) They're such a good dessert. -- nm - Krusty Oct 10, 13:43
- i've never been able to bring myself to even taste a morsel of it -- nm - mr mooch Oct 10, 11:22
- 🤢 -- nm - JD Oct 10, 11:13
- I really like it, but it has to be the 'dryer' type, if it's too runny, then, no. -- nm - Andie Oct 10, 11:12

If MTG believes Harris used gov tech to send hurricanes to FL, does that mean 45 sent Maria to PR? - zeitgeist Oct 10, 10:38 9
- I want to know if the govt. also invented a way to stop the hurricanes, or just start them. -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 10, 10:52 1
  - It's like biological warfare, you can release it but never know where it goes from there nor how it could mutate and evade your antidote -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 10, 12:13
- I mean really, if one could do such a thing? Wouldnt you just direct a Cat 5 to make landfall at Maralargo? - Jovian Oct 10, 10:45 4

    - It be too obvious -- nm - eag Oct 10, 11:10 2
