Robosen Toy Story Buzz Lightyear Robot -- (edited) - JD Oct 18, 11:34 6
- Is any adult, or kid, that much of a Toy Story fan to pony up the $600 for it? -- nm - Trending Oct 18, 11:41 5
  - No but I really want the transforming Transformers they did. But soooo expensive. -- nm - sycor Oct 18, 11:54
  - I thought about buying the Star Tours one, and I don’t even like Star Wars. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:49 2
    - Wait. Robosen has a Star Tours offering? -- nm - JD Oct 18, 11:51 1
      - No. Do a search for the Star Tours Starspeeder. -- nm - David Oct 18, 11:55

The machines are coming for your job Dawson. "Report: US Treasury Has Used AI to Catch $1B in Fraud This Year" -- (link) - oblique Oct 18, 11:08 2
- This. This is yet another example that AI as a term has been completely abused by the press and pop culture. Generative AI sucks - JD Oct 18, 11:50
- Dawson should be a governor or senator in a few years anyways (fingers crossed) -- nm - Trending Oct 18, 11:42

  - I haven't seen a single one for Trump -- nm - Krusty Oct 18, 11:51
- No. My neighbor has a sign about Jesus being our only hope in 2024, but that's as close as it gets - Fuzzy Oct 18, 11:47 1
  - Our voting ward is probably 80% democrat. But I see a ton of Trump flags, blue lives signs & flags, etc. It makes no sense. -- nm - Fuzzy Oct 18, 11:49

- None that I can think of. I'm a little surprised and it isn't against our HOA rules or anything. -- nm - oblique Oct 18, 11:06

- yes. many. Provincial election in 5 days. -- nm - Beaker 🍺 Oct 18, 11:02 1

News articles about the trial are popping up now. This one gets most of the details right. -- (link) - Bayronmax Oct 18, 10:22 6
- About 10 years ago, I thought I'd videotape something similar. I've mentioned our old white trash 3-fingered creep neighbor who'd shoot - Will Hunting Oct 18, 11:09
- That's terrible. I just don't understand how they think they can go from "I'm inside the house" to "I'm going to murder this man" in blink of an eye. -- nm - Mop🧹 Oct 18, 10:32 3
  - And it was truly that fast. Grandpa went outside to argue and just over a minute later the neighbor was on the ground dying. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 10:41 2
    - Was there any explanation given as to their thoughts at the time? -- nm - oblique Oct 18, 10:45 1

Pro-Trump yard sign leads to shooting in Las Vegas neighborhood - JD Oct 18, 10:15 10
- I dunno. It sounds like the anti-45 crew was in the wrong here. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:22 8
  - It seems like they were harassing jerks, but not to the point that they needed to be punched, have a gun drawn on them and be shot at. -- nm - Roger More Oct 18, 10:27 7
    - The catch is that they were coming to the people's house to harass them. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:40 6
      - Someone who uses a gun to chase people playing loud music away…that’s a horrible gun owner. Agree the Anti-Trump people were dumb/fafo -- nm - Trending Oct 18, 10:59
      - They're still outside. Better to document the harassment, take photos/video of the car, and call the cops - Roger More Oct 18, 10:54
      - they should have just gone in the dead of night and removed the DJT signs -- (edited) - Jovian Oct 18, 10:44 3
        
        people put motion detectors/trail cams on their yard signs to catch them. a school supervisor got caught removing no on bonds signs, resigned -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 10:58 2

  - They are hard to find up here but I like them!!! -- nm - Walt_Disney Oct 18, 10:57
  - don't they make valentine hearts? must be 80% of their revenue -- nm - rollo Oct 18, 10:18
  - Their cost of business is negligible, since they don't have to make additional product. Just keep shipping out of the same overstocked 1920s warehouse -- nm - Beryllium Oct 18, 10:09 2
    - basically its the same thing, just slightly different ingredients as TUMS -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 10:27
    - To be fair, this makes sense. -- nm - JaxSean Oct 18, 10:12
- Come on. It's wax lips and we all know it. -- nm - Bayronmax Oct 18, 10:06 3
  - In the late 70s, if you needed to calm down child Jovian, all you had to do was give him wax lips or wax whistle (wish those were still made) and he'd - Jovian Oct 18, 10:23

    - Don’t yuck my yum. -- nm - znufrii Oct 18, 10:17

    - Sounds expensive, but awesome -- nm - sycor Oct 18, 09:59
  - Were they at least chocolate covered pretzels? -- nm - Bayronmax Oct 18, 09:56 3
    - No. Apparently in his old age he is concerned about other people's kids being healthier or something. -- nm - sycor Oct 18, 09:59 2
      - Get mandarin oranges or little apples -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 10:01 1

  - Okay, this is the first time I've believed this nonsense. -- nm - David Oct 18, 10:03 5
    - I just think that there's no way it could be true because all of the PAs running around wouldn't keep that secret. would they? -- nm - ☀️ amandachem ☀️ Oct 18, 10:12 1
      - i assume there are NDAs thrown around like confetti before all of his appearances. -- nm - Andie Oct 18, 10:12

    - parking costs is the main complaint in San Francisco -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 10:30

    - That’s low—did you have to stay at a hotel, for a couple nights? Like they took that $ from what you’d get, daily -- nm - Trending Oct 18, 10:06 2
      - No, that's the set amount. That and the frequency with which people are called are running jokes. - Bayronmax Oct 18, 10:11 1
        
        In San Fran you could get called a couple times a year, my BFF got summoned a month after spending a week enpaneled. -- nm - zeitgeist Oct 18, 11:04
