I know we thought that HTTYD live action trailer was fake yesterday but it isn't -- (link) - oblique Nov 20, 06:16 [youtube] 9

- why did everybody think it was fake? -- nm - prayformojo Nov 20, 06:22 5
  - mop posted a fake one under mine, and his wording might have confused the two? -- nm - mud Nov 20, 06:25 2

my kid left her plush pufferfish (Squishy Bananas Bob) out. It has been repurposed. -- (pic) - mafic Nov 20, 05:54 [Attachment] 10
- that is precious -- nm - Pippy aka Desparada Nov 20, 06:16
- So cute! -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:11
- like the cat barely fits. you have to wonder what goes through their heads. "I think I can mayb fit here so... let's give it a go'? -- nm - amanda Nov 20, 05:56 5
  - He could fit better if he chose to, he’s just relaxing. My boy will get in much smaller things he clearly won’t fit comfortably in. -- (pic) - mafic Nov 20, 06:04 [Attachment] 2
    - He fits fine in it! -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 06:52

Interesting. Did we know about the NFL Coach/QB 5 year rule? - Volnelk Nov 20, 05:38 5
- I think the stat is poo, but Taylor leaving is a good thing for the Bengals, imo. He somehow out-turtles Harbaugh at the end of games. -- nm - Inigo Nov 20, 06:17
- I’d question whether there’s a statistically relevant sample size. Like are there even 40 winning QBs yet? -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 05:50 1
  - Agreed. There's Marv Levy and Jim Kelly. Shula and Marino. - Inigo Nov 20, 06:12
- Which do you change? I guess it's the coach as it's easier to replace him. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 05:41 1
  - agreed; BUT there is always a first time for everything -- nm* - Beaker 🍺 Nov 20, 05:57

How much would you pay for a 98” TV? ‘Cause at $1599, that’s almost an impulse buy. -- (link) - Mop🧹 Nov 19, 23:46 10
- That's crazy. We bought a 98" (commercial NEC display granted) and it was probably 8-10x that (also quite a few years ago) -- nm - oblique Nov 20, 06:18
- Who has a room big enough for an 8 foot TV? -- nm - decline Nov 20, 05:31 2
  - Most rooms need four walls. This takes care of one of them! -- nm - Mop🧹 Nov 20, 06:33
  - I would assume it's only basements or home theaters. I could put one in my basement. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 20, 05:36
- I don't even know how I'd get it through the front door of the apartment. -- nm - Qale Nov 20, 01:07 1
  - There's no way I'd be able to get it up my stairs. Also, my living room isn't big enough for me to sit far enough away to see it properly. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 04:48
- I do not want a 98" TV -- nm - Beryllium Nov 20, 00:03 3

Reviving NY harbor's oyster beds, a project started 30 years ago in a bucket is succeeding. NYC should have been Big Oyster -- (link) - zeitgeist Nov 19, 22:21 7
- One of favorite go-to truth brags is that I have a fossilized oyster on my work shelf. Part of an acquired batch dug up in Florida. - landbeck Nov 20, 03:48 6
  - I have a bunch of fossils, but my favourite is an Ordovician trilobite I found in upstate New York. ~430 million years old -- (pic) - mafic Nov 20, 05:46 [Attachment] 5
    - WHere in NY? Finger lakes? -- nm - loosilu Nov 20, 06:53
    - Very cool! We have some fossils but I have no idea on their age. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:15 2
      - some are easy to identify by sight, most you need to know approximately where they’re from. if you’re interested I always like seeing new fossils. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 06:30 1
        
        I'll post some pictures tonight when I get home. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 08:03

sorry but in-season tournaments are dumb and nobody cares who wins them -- nm - mr mooch Nov 19, 21:25 6
- But the games count on their regular season record. So they aren't throwaway games. They are counted for both. -- nm - Volnelk Nov 20, 05:15 1
  - True but no fans or players are walking around flexing that they won the in-season tournament. No one will remember who wins after a few years. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 06:14
- Agreed -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 03:46
- Id rest starters. If they wanted to do this. Might be good at the AllStar Break -- nm - budice Nov 20, 03:33 1
  - They can't rest starters or they risk a heavy fine. You can rest one for one game but that's about it. -- nm - Krusty Nov 20, 03:48
- exactly what I’d expect from someone who’s gonna lose four nations. -- nm - mafic Nov 20, 00:55

The Linda McMahon question from earlier? Secretary of Education. Of course they want to get rid of that department so I don’t know what that means.. - pmb Nov 19, 18:45 7
- It’s my career, so I’m obviously interested. Wonder what they’ll really do. The department of education controls student loans and Perkins funding… - Volnelk Nov 19, 20:14 3
  - I think people think the Department of Ed dictates curriculum. I'm not actually sure what Trump hates about it -- nm* - oblique Nov 20, 06:15
  - I’m sure they have a concept of a plan. -- nm - znufrii Nov 20, 04:08
  - It's also important to whisper as she has family in the industry. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 22:05

  - Out of those, I would vote for it 95 times if I could. Until I finish Metaphor anyway. Now, if the actual GoTY was nominated, well then.. - Marlowe Nov 19, 18:21 2
    - my personal game of the year might be Fallout London just because it’s a remarkable achievement just by existing. -- nm - Tim Nov 19, 18:28 1
      - The fact that they were able to build upon the foundations set by Bethesda is quite an accomplishment. (NM) - Marlowe Nov 19, 18:30
- Metaphor is Persona-ish, but in an original fantasy setting. I'm early on it, but it is quite good so far. - Marlowe Nov 19, 18:14 1
  - Yeah it was! -- nm - Tim Nov 19, 18:17

Fuzzy, not sure I agree on the casting front. Both actresses fit the parts perfectly (at least on paper, I haven't seen it yet). - ty97 Nov 19, 17:40 1

- Spinning off Msnbc from the network ain't going to save their FCC broadcast license from the vengeance of that beleaguered paragon of virtue - zeitgeist Nov 19, 17:17 2
  - That's got absolutely nothing to do with this. MSNBC and CNBC aren't even guaranteed to go since they're so ingrained. -- nm - David Nov 19, 17:38
  - NBC's "license" only applies to like two stations. -- nm - Reagen Nov 19, 17:29
- NBC is only marginally more valuable than the basic cable networks at this point -- nm - mr mooch Nov 19, 17:09 6
  - Dick Wolf should just buy NBC. -- nm - Qale Nov 19, 17:54 2
    - Not the craziest idea ever. However isn't his divorce ongoing? He would rather make nothing than give 50% to his wife. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 17:59 1
      - Strike that. She lost her appeal. -- nm - amanda Nov 19, 18:01
