I love Diana Ross so much.

I think mega powerful wizards are still trying to impress each other. And when you can wield otherworldly powers, you have to be as flashy and grandiose as possible. Thus, glam rockers or drag queens.

Kyle

random thought of the day: instead of looking like clones of Merlin/Gandalf, wizards should look like rock stars, preferably glam rock. Along those lines, I think wizards should look like drag queens. Look at these wizards: https://i.postimg.cc/NFBwSmhH/natasha-st-james-sellma-soul-scarlett-fever-2...

I can’t believe I quit this thread and y’all almost lost it the next day. No worries. I’m back.

Two things about car safety. I choose to drive a small car because I feel like they're more easily maneuverable and, with the additional control, are less likely to get into accidents. I realize that this is a minority view and people like big cars built like tanks because they think all that metal ...

Ring Shout - P. Djèlí Clark. What a great read. I almost don't even know how to describe it. An alternate history where the KKK is coopted by extra-dimensional monsters and are fought off by black women, some of whom have extra-spiritual powers. Set in the 1920s. I really don't want to get into mor...

"Someone's going to be in big trouble."

Hilarious that someone on his staff rick rolled him.

That's actually an interesting part of it. A not-insignificant revenue source for a number of mutual fund companies involves lending shares of stocks they hold to hedge funds that are shorting stocks. They get paid no matter what. If the price of the stock actually goes up, they get the interest pa...

Not sure it will help Flame or Kyle, but here's my description of short selling: So I get the effects of short selling. I understand the ramifications of it, so my confusion is really just abstract because I get what the end result is. Here's where I get lost coneptually: you sell the shares first ...

Hey. It's not your fault.

I know.

Kyle

But let’s be clear- what the redditors were doing wasn’t for the greater benefit. It was market manipulation to artificially inflate a stock for personal profit- not based on the economic reality of the company. When rich people do this they get criminal charges brought against them by the SEC- and ...

It's a pyramid scheme that is bound to fail. The amateur day traders are going to lose a lot of money. The people hurt by this will be the normal folks who think they are fighting a proper cause. They will lose a ton of money. The hedge funds will be fine. It's Don Quixote tilting at windmills. If y...

I'm out for the rest of January. I'll be back in this thread on Feb. 1.

Whenever I see my kids with an energy drink or coffee I ask why they would put that poison in their bodies. I've been smugly asking the question since the second day after I quit caffeine.

Kyle

Some of you suck at quitting.

Kyle

Why would you put that poison in your body?

Kyle

I've had a calf tear exactly like what you're describing. I was hobbled for a good week. I couldn't use it at all the first two days and then with a limp for the next four or five. It sucks, man. I'm sorry.

Kyle

I'm so much happier doing what I'm doing. I'm a much less negative person now.

Kyle

Wow, that was post-I'm a Pepper David Naughton

Kyle

Okay. So we have confirmation of me, Mike and Phoebe. Who else will join our quitting cause?

Oh Lord in all my time on this earth I had been spared actually SEEING what I was hearing here, as an innocent youth subjected to the Radio. Why, why did you inflict this upon us? I cannot remember the NAME of the person who used to do this, but I remember the FACE of this kid, smirking Butthead st...

This is one of the unexpected blessings of adult children: They know things. I don't have to research or understand so many issues. I know how not to support Nestles, what the roi for a tesla is, which gadgets to buy. All it takes is between one and three calls I was going to make anyway. Listen to...

Be hypnotized for five minutes:

Now we're quitting FOR SURE!

Kyle

Then we're both quitting.

I live in Trump Country. We're a rural Texas County that reliably votes 70% for every republican on the ticket. My neighbors also have a racism problem. A teenager down the street left a $600 rifle sitting in the passenger seat of his unlocked pickup truck. Apparently in the middle of the night, som...

Okay, if you guys aren't going to play fair, then I'm quitting this thread.

Every week, there is a new Invisibles Quiz, posted over at FilmWise.com. We solve the Invisibles Quiz as a group. As soon as we have identified all 8 movies, someone goes over to FilmWise and submits the correct answers under our name (NerdPrideRadio). Check/submit answers here. And until Mike gets ...

A thousand times yes, Tahlvin.

Good evening.

Failure to timely post a review. 0/10

There may be some, but I stopped going to lifehacker several years ago. But the core is simplicity and common sense, so some overlap is inevitable. My issue with lifehacker- particularly with their parental advice, was that it was overly worrisome and, in my opinion, bad advice. The bigger issue for...

The commentary here on disco and it’s accessibility juxtaposed with its absurdity is brilliant. 10/10

Music 10/10 creep backstory 1/10 I do wonder how much of its success is due to having a Sharona wearing a see-through wife-beater on the cover. Btw, wife-beater? What the hell, culture? I'm a big fan of both the musical acumen and the social commentary. I little disappointed at the lack of knowledg...

What, the last 7 songs and only 2 are written by a Gibb? They're slacking off near the end. I really like the harmonies on this one. Used to really like Clapton but my fandom is at a nadir now, but I can't deny how boppy this is. Didn't know Boogie Oogie Oogie featuring slick bass and guitar funk b...

Fox in Socks Battle:

Mike: 7.5 (with a difficulty factor of 5.5)

Wonderful performances from both of you.

We went The Kyle Way(TM) with our new washer and dryer, not the cheapest, not the top of the line, but moderate. The one bauble we got (that my wife wanted) is that they are WiFi-enabled, so they can send a notification when the cycle has completed. Since our laundry room is in the basement, out of...

The 7/12 time signature is off-putting. And I think the lead singer is doing a bad imitation of Billie Joe Armstrong. 2/10.

Clearly derivative of Green Day. 3 out of 10.

When My Heart Joins the Thousand - A. J. Steiger. An interesting book, but a hard read, at least for me. It focuses on an autistic girl with no parents trying to become emancipated, form human relationships, and find purpose. It's a tough read, but also extremely well-written. It's layered with sym...

That is a walled off link. I don't have MIT credentials.
