I still have the old logo cached for some reason. Had to open BN in incognito mode to see it.

Are you using Chrome? You may need to force a refresh, as Chrome is particularly obstinate about caching.

Wow.
I F5'ed in chrome and it laughed in my face.
But pressing control (ctrl) while clicking the Page Reload ↺ and bingo.
Force Refresh to the rescue.

Clocktuner looks interesting.
Especially for those that can't leave well enough alone.

Nice to know they've upgraded to an edible ingredient. Wasn't it 10 or 15 years ago when one of their bread ingredients was also used to make floor mats?

I thought the ingredient (azodicarbonamide) was also used in flame proof space shuttle tiles. (googling says no)

Next thing you know they'll say that Subway slices their vegetables too thin and too many years in advance to actually be called vegetables, something I would be in firm agreement with.

We all have a, well maybe not all, most memorable meal, drink, beverage, dessert etc.

The best cherry pie I ever had was at the reception after my mother's funeral, the best tasting cup of coffee I ever had was during a conference at a hotel in downtown Austin, and the best tuna sandwich I ever had was from a chain sandwich store in England, purchased while waiting to board the train. It was a tough hard "Real Bread" baguette split down the middle stuffed with the freshest tasting tuna salad and nothing much else.

HDD's and SATA SSDs are impervious to failure.
And that 256 mb usb thumb drive attached to your keychain in your sweaty pants pocket, that you received as a promotional item 20 years ago, is also failure proof.

So instead of being furloughed and making an extra $600 a week in unemployment benefits you got to keep working while making even less money. I'd be interested in seeing the total monetary loss you suffered as a result.

Not quite sure how you get the idea that the $600 unemployment would have been a benefit for Beamer.

if I'm not mistaken he's previously stated that he makes over 6x that so the 12% cut he took really hasn't affected him that poorly. Then again he lives in New York City where $200,000 a year is probably close to the poverty level.

I entered your birth date.

All we gained last night was legitimization of a violent, nationalistic, Islamophobic, transphobic, and misogynistic hate group who call themselves 'Proud Bois.'
They immediately grabbed hold of the dotard's statement ""Stand back and Stand by.""

The non-partisan fact-check.org fact checked the debate

It goes beyond the the name calling and mud slinging.
All in all a good read.

E:D is completely playable, perfecting one aspect (spaceflight) before moving on to the next (planet exploration). And it's all been done for about one tenth of the budget of Star Citizen. Bravo.

Building your own mocap studio, hiring Luke Skywalker for a day and modeling ice cube physics don't come cheap.
Besides, money ain't everything.

Are we talking 14 hour days? Sleeping on cots in the office for six months? Or just one extra day a week for a month (IE - four extra days of work total?)

There's a huge difference.

They say six 10-hour days but you know it's going to be seven 20 hour days for 3 months.
And they should be lucky to have those hours because of the state of the world.
Of course there won't be anything left in the world to spend money on.

If they don't get the game done by this Christmas there will never be another Christmas ever again.

I tapped out on stream viewing after 40 minutes and just followed along on live blog coverage. Actually viewing that nightmare was causing my heart to pound and leaving me feeling as though I was literally going to throw up. Is that what it's like inside Trump's brain? Just unrelenting chaos and verbal diarrhea? The man is unwell. How anyone could stomach four more years of whatever the fuck that just was is beyond me.

You experienced a normal biological reaction.

Similar to when you see somebody vomiting and you almost vomit yourself.
It's a genetic built-in survival reflex.
Developed over thousands of years.
See someone in your klan vomiting, that probably means that you ate the same thing they did and you should also vomit it up as it was either spoiled or poisonous.

The reason we don't vomit every time we see someone else being sick is because we've spent years mentally unlearning it in our modern society.

Back on topic
The only way I was able to watch the whole stream was on the New York times with live commentary and I was texting with a couple friends who were dumbstruck at out national embarrassment.

But I still puked.

FUCKING FINALLY!

Can you verify that it's truly fixed?

It wouldn't be the first time that someone thought they fixed something and it wasn't actually fixed. We call that Gangnam Microsoft style.

How the hell did it come to this?

There has never been a better advertisement for women candidates.

Last week's Bill Maher hit the spot.
He jumped on all the idiots last election that didn't like Hillary so threw away their vote for a write-in candidate or the green party or the socialist dumb fucks or some such claptrap.
We gotta protest man , hey man , I'm not voting for Hillary man cuz I don’t like her man.

Failing to remember that the United States is a two-party system and any other votes means fuckall.

I was about to repost my comment in the other thread but seeing as how you replied here... I agree with your point. Hopefully people will have learned a lesson out of it.
