- Unchanged concern that a 2016 EC could happen if swing state voters are voting based on prices and housing. -- nm - Max Oct 21, 12:11 1

  - I think you mean never pay. litigate to never pay. -- nm* - tRuMaN Oct 21, 11:47 6
    - appeal after appeal, never pay a ¢ or see the inside of a prison cell before he croaks. -- nm - mud Oct 21, 11:49 5
      - But how can he afford to appeal? In New York he has to put up the amount he's appealing and pay the lawyers. - . Oct 21, 11:53 2
        
        True, though this lawsuit was filed in Philadelphia (site of the debate) -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 11:57

- All Hallow's Eve is indeed up next - JD Oct 21, 10:57 3

  - Mahomes has actually been not great. -- nm - Volnelk Oct 21, 11:18 5
    - Since he took over as the starter, they've played 18 playoff games in 6 years. That's a full season of wear and tear. - Will Hunting Oct 21, 11:49 3

  - You're talking 15-20k in an arena, 50-60k in a stadium -- nm - Turd Ferguson Oct 21, 10:40 1
    - Yeah. "Arena tour" vs "stadium tour" for artists are orders of magnitude different. The first is impressive. The second, you're in the history books. -- nm - con_carne Oct 21, 12:01
  - Size. Secondarily could be indoors / outdoors. All Arenas are indoors. Some stadiums have a roof -- nm - JD Oct 21, 10:39
- The Lakers play in an arena. The Dodgers and Rams both play in a stadium. -- nm - crash davis 😺 Oct 21, 10:34 3
  - That Rams / Dodgers being both stadiums is an excellent example of why looking up exactly where an act is going to play can have benefits -- (edited) - JD Oct 21, 10:45
  - And the Kings suck -- nm - crash davis 😺 Oct 21, 10:35 1
    - heh -- nm - mud Oct 21, 10:55

  - sometimes i want a cheap, very cold beer on a hot day. -- nm - colin Oct 21, 10:50 6
    - Then enjoy it for what it is 8-) - JD Oct 21, 10:59
    - Adding salt just makes it salty. -- nm - . Oct 21, 10:52 4
      - adding some tajin or pickle salt adds a little flavor. also really elevates a michelada. -- nm - colin Oct 21, 10:53 3
        
        micheladas are a different animal. Especially if you use Clamato. -- nm - . Oct 21, 11:27
        
        cheaper beers are also pretty sweet, so it helps balance that. -- nm - colin Oct 21, 10:55 1
        
        Seeing that I like things like radlers that isn't much of an issue for me. -- nm - . Oct 21, 11:46
- "Pickle Salt" also sounds like it could be the title of a good Texas blues song. -- nm - Max Oct 21, 10:41
- huh, I never would have thought of that -- nm - crash davis 😺 Oct 21, 10:33 5
  - Lots of people in my circle do that even with just regular salt. A little for table/coaster and a little for the beer. - Volnelk Oct 21, 10:42 1
    - TIL: Using salt to prevent an inadvertent seal between glass and surface or glass and coaster - JD Oct 21, 11:19

My weekend viewing was that the Grand Kyiv Ballet swung through the Treasure Valley. On Friday, I saw Swan Lake. On Sunday, I saw Don Quixote. -- (edited) - crash davis 😺 Oct 21, 10:23 4
- my weekemd viewing was my first college football game. I'm glad I went but I will not be going again. - Pippy aka Desparada Oct 21, 10:54 2
  - I would argue that live football is really more about the atmosphere than watching the game. IMO, it's much better watched on tv. - pmb Oct 21, 11:12 1
    - I agree with this -- nm - Pippy aka Desparada Oct 21, 11:27
- I also saw a Kraken OT victory over the Flames and the first half of the new Lincoln Lawyer season. And I finished the new Bosch/Ballard book. All good stuff. -- nm* - crash davis 😺 Oct 21, 10:25

American Airlines Wins $9.4 Million From ‘Skiplagged’ Site That Exploits Airlines’ Business Model -- (link) - Beaker 🍺 Oct 21, 10:15 6
- I can see the penalty for scraping AA data without permission. But a penalty for impacting AA revenue? - Mop🧹 Oct 21, 11:23
- Skiplagged should just rebrand itself as a subscription news service and then they'd get to publish the flights as information. - Max Oct 21, 10:25
- “It’s hard to feel sympathy for the airlines in this case.” - znufrii Oct 21, 10:18 3
  - especially when that airline is American (Pippy and I can agree on that even if she is a dirty Texas fan) -- nm - ty97 Oct 21, 10:29 2
    - heh, I hate American. I am ambivalent about Texas University. It was a mandatory wife business event. Don't hate me cause I support My Man - Pippy aka Desparada Oct 21, 10:51 1
