- That's a cool house! but the rooms are small, no pool, small yard, tiny outdated kitchen. However, it's Jim Morrison's house! and there's lyrics on - CrankYanker Jun 19, 15:26 4
  - It needs to be sold with the furniture, it's perfect. Every house in LA is small and outdated unless it's brand new and many millions. -- nm - jnine Jun 19, 15:44
  - so updating/remodeling the place would be like messing with an historical treasure -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 19, 15:33

  - AH! thanks for the correction. -- nm - Remlik Jun 19, 15:07

      - yes. I know that "people will buy anything", but I can't do more than one day either. -- nm - CrankYanker Jun 19, 14:52

    - What vinyls did you sell? I have so many, but my turntable is so old, I'm afraid to put them on it. -- nm - jnine Jun 19, 14:50
Re self-scanners at the supermarket. I use them because they are faster. Shorter lines. -- nm - loosilu Jun 19, 14:31 6
- I use regular lines because I don't have enough people doing work for me on a regular basis, and their labor makes me smile. - TFox Jun 19, 14:34 2

zork... here is a review of the grocery store hand scanners - stewie Jun 19, 12:54 7
- the self scanning systems are goddam annoying i think -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 13:55
- so what's to stop people from not scanning things and just putting them in their bags? With RFID you wouldn't need the scanner and just pass the cart - zork Jun 19, 13:40 5
  - nothing really... - stewie Jun 19, 14:00
  - RFID is cost-prohibitive for small items still. it's the future, not yet the present. -- nm - workmanda Jun 19, 13:59 1
    - yep -- nm - zork Jun 19, 14:07
  - it weights the trolley also i think -- nm - Danedukenuuk Jun 19, 13:56
  - At my supermarket someone is usually watching and if you put something in the bagging area without scanning it - Krusty Jun 19, 13:53
it's begun. Mel was staring @ Manny so hard as he approached the dugout he was unable to speak to me coherently. - diva Jun 19, 12:53 5
- What did he do when he hit it out? -- nm - jnine Jun 19, 14:48 2
  - he applauded. -- nm - diva Jun 19, 15:16 1
    - He still likes Manny? That was a great game to go to, although I didn't like the outcome. -- nm - jnine Jun 19, 16:27

- HA! -- nm - Remlik Jun 19, 12:58
Poker review: Played in a tournament yesterday and got busted out on this hand. I'm self-evaluating the hand, so feel free to weigh in if you like. - ReluctantCynic Jun 19, 12:43 12
- basically you had a draw against a sure thing bunch of better possible hands. I try to only plunge if I have a pat hand -- nm - peglegpete Jun 19, 13:31
- I'm surpised 8 folded, he was priced in, even if #4 hadn't called. - musubi Jun 19, 13:30 2
  - After thinking about it, #8 mighta folded because he had a Q with a weak kicker. He was trying to buy the pot. - musubi Jun 19, 13:33 1
    - Although that would be the case Q. Maybe K with a weak kicker. (nm) - musubi Jun 19, 13:34
- The all in bet you made doesn't get called by any hand that you have beat - stewie Jun 19, 13:06 5
  - Thanks. That's all pretty much what I was thinking. - ReluctantCynic Jun 19, 13:35 4
    - Just remember straight boys look better than they are too and you should be set. -- nm - Qale Jun 19, 13:48 1
      - They're also very, very confusing on Pride Weekend. - ReluctantCynic Jun 19, 14:38
    - An open ended straight draw is still only pulling to 2 out of 13 potential cards. - David Jun 19, 13:46
    - I hate straight draws. They're always so tempting, but they rarely pan out. (nm) - musubi Jun 19, 13:37
- I try not go all in unless I have a made hand. With a K and Q showing at the flop... - David Jun 19, 12:57
- two things - Reagen Jun 19, 12:53
Apple is free to do what they want. The publisher needn't meet their request, and I needn't do business with Apple because they made the request. - TWuG Jun 19, 12:41 1

odds that El Capitan will sell out it's only remaining show for tonight by the time i walk over to buy my ticket? - jingoist pixie Jun 19, 12:30 3
- 312.50% - Qale Jun 19, 12:32 2
  - no but that's closer to the price i paid for the "VIP" reserved seat ticket -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 19, 12:55 1
    - It's how much I'd pay to punch that Armond White guy in the wiener. -- nm - Qale Jun 19, 13:15
would you like to know how far you have to drive from manchester, new hampshire, to get a blueberry cake donut? you have to go to massachusetts. - workmanda Jun 19, 12:27 3

- well the border is only 20 miles down the road, right? -- nm - jingoist pixie Jun 19, 12:29 1
  - NH should secede and join the Dominion -- nm - zork Jun 19, 13:41
I want to know who these people are who can't tell when their beer is cold, but then I realize that they probably are Coors Light drinkers. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 12:24

  - I was thinking a young Brendan Fraser. -- nm - Reagen Jun 19, 12:18

Die Hard 1 2 3 -- nm - ty97 Jun 19, 12:10 10
- 1 was incredible, 2 was pretty good, 3 was unnecessary - zork Jun 19, 13:44
- Star Wars 4 5 6. - Black Rabbit Jun 19, 13:24 7
  - I really hate that the first 3 movies have to be numbered 4, 5, 6. Better had they remained 1, 2, 3. -- nm - TWuG Jun 19, 13:28 6
    - ummm, those were the numbers right from the beginning. The first crawl started with "Episode IV" -- nm - zork Jun 19, 13:43 5
      - No, it didn't. This was added to the re-releases. -- (link) - Reagen Jun 19, 13:58 4
        
        right, but still that was 1981 and Lucas had always envisioned it as 4. I think 29 years is enough time for TWuG to have gotten used to it. - zork Jun 19, 14:11 3
        
        My point is, even if the roll said "Episode IV" we'd be calling it #1 because Phantom Menace wouldn't exist. - TWuG Jun 19, 14:48
        
        OK, but that's not "right from the beginning".. - Reagen Jun 19, 14:14 1
