Anyone still watching Mr Robot? I started watching the S3 premier last night but only got about halfway through before I had to get to bed. Gonna watch the rest tonight.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Oct 12, 2017 -> 10:56 AM) Someone tell me this Executive Order doesn't just undo all the fighting we've done to prevent Obamacare repeal. What was the point of all of that? Someone smarter than me explain what just happened. http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/12/politics/tru...rder/index.html It sounds like a mixed bag. On one hand, it would allow people more options to buy insurance. The premiums would be lower, but the benefits would be less as well. The problem with that is that it would mean less people paying for Obamacare, which means the people that are still on it would have to pay more to make up the difference.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 02:57 PM) Rape =/= sexual assault. Actually, it is. It's a subset of sexual assault. Not all sexual assault is rape. But all rape is sexual assault.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 03:38 PM) Would you rather have a loved one have a guy she's hanging out with make an unwanted advance or would you prefer that guy drug and rape her? Um, neither? Although you seem to be downplaying what Trump has actually been accused of. He wasn't on a date with these women and just mis-read their signals.

QUOTE (raBBit @ Oct 11, 2017 -> 03:24 PM) You can make an argument without falsely attributing opinions to others. Trump = bad The other guys = sexual deviants. Menaces to society. How do you differentiate between "bad" and "sexual deviant" when they have all been accused of basically the same thing?

Strasburg now expected to start.

QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) Not sure how to feel about today's game. Watch Jake throw a gem. I could wrong. QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 10:54 AM) I guarantee you will be wrong, Jake won't throw a gem. It's Jose vs Max QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 11:06 AM) Thank you for the vote of confidence! QUOTE (soxfan2014 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 12:08 PM) I will bet you a million dollars Jake doesn't throw a gem today QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 12:09 PM) I am NOT betting the house. QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 04:11 PM) I am at work. Does Jake look hittable? QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 04:14 PM) He hasn't given up a single hit today. Not likely to either... QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 04:15 PM) Guess my earlier prediction was right. QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 04:17 PM) Well, except for the whole "throw" part. Q is looking pretty good though... QUOTE (whitesoxjr27 @ Oct 9, 2017 -> 05:33 PM) I am a dumb ass. Why was thinking jake was pitching today? Old age setting in. I thought you were just playing along.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 01:51 PM) Sure but not living things. They are probably used more to destroy targets and clays more than living things. There are a lot of hunters out there... My point is that guns are one of the few things that we create that has the primary purpose of destroying things. I could probably name 100 other things that can be used to destroy something (drills, bats, hammers, cars, knifes, pencils) but they all have some other primary purpose. Guns simply do not.

QUOTE (ptatc @ Oct 6, 2017 -> 01:37 PM) They only kill if aimed at a living being. When you use them for skeet/trap shooting there is no living being. Tobacco is only used by living being. Firearms have another purpose, tobacco does not. When you boil it down, the only purpose guns have are to destroy things. The reasoning behind wanting to destroy something may change. Hunting, sport, defense, etc... but that is still their sole purpose.

New RDR 2 trailer.

I just had the brakes go out on my Suburban. Got about 2 blocks from home and they just went to the floor. Pulled over into a parking lot and a warning message about servicing my brake system started flashing on my dash. Still had fluid in the reservoir but it was obviously leaking. Drove about 5 mph all the way back home and got it back into the driveway. Noticed a long line of fluid going down my driveway from when I pulled in. Not sure if it's one of the lines or if it's the master cylinder. Now I have to get a tow truck to take it into the repair shop.

This season of American Horror Story has been horrible. Last season was a struggle to watch but this one is even worse. Most of the actors that were in most, if not all, of the previous seasons haven't come back.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 10:45 AM) One of the emails was confirmation from Best Buy for the purchase of a $1300 laptop but when I went to my BB account, there isn't anything there. So it was probably a fake email or some other account that was set up with my email. Either way, I changed my BB password too. Maybe I spoke too soon. Just got an email from Best Buy asking to take a survey about the conversation that I had with one of their customer service representatives. I didn't have any conversation with a CSR... So I went to my account and this time I found the order for the laptop, but the order had failed because the credit card couldn't be authorized. What's weird is that the credit card they tried to use isn't one of mine. So somebody got into my best buy account, added a credit card to my profile and then tried to order a laptop with said credit card. I noticed that on the sign-in screen it uses my email address instead of a username. So I changed the email associated with that account. The good news is that the spam emails have all but stopped. So hopefully I caught everything in time.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Sep 20, 2017 -> 11:42 AM) Sounds like a phishing scheme, actually kind of clever when you think about it. Bombard a user, including fake receipt confirmations, to make them think they need to change their passwords. They probably hoped you would go through their fake BB email to reset your password, and then you'd be hacked. I always take the time to open a new tab and type the web address in directly rather than trusting the link in an email. Even if I think it's not fake.

So yesterday afternoon around 2 PM I got hit with some sort of spambot email thing. I opened up my email (Yahoo) and literally had 150+ unread messages. Most of them are subscriptions to some sort of newsletter or website asking for confirmation. A handful of them are in some sort of foreign language. As best as I can tell, nobody actually got INTO my email account. I have two-factor authentication set up so I should get a text if someone tries to log in from another computer. Although I did immediately change my password. For now, I went through and set all the emails to spam. I also went and changed the passwords for a few of my financial accounts. Amazon, Paypal, Discover, ect... Didn't find anything out of the ordinary on any of them. One of the emails was confirmation from Best Buy for the purchase of a $1300 laptop but when I went to my BB account, there isn't anything there. So it was probably a fake email or some other account that was set up with my email. Either way, I changed my BB password too. Googling the problem looks like there really isn't a "fix" for it other than setting the emails to spam. I'm not taking the chance on clicking any of the unsubscribe links. I've been monitoring it this morning and it's slowed down a bit but a few are still coming through. It's really annoying because I've had this email for damn near 20 years now and have never had a problem with it. I don't even understand the end-game here because if they don't have access to the email account, what good does it do sending them all?

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 14, 2017 -> 10:00 AM) I just think they did more than borrow. It was like watching the same movie again- there's always a big destroyer thingy, it's always destroyed by a little flaw in its build, they always build up to the destruction of it in the same way, etc. I know "half the planet" thinks they're similar, but my opinion is unpopular because I think they're so similar to the point where TFA is not even a good movie. I think the opinion that it's not a good movie is the unpopular one. From Wiki:

QUOTE (Jose Abreu @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 10:46 PM) Unpopular opinion, but to me, TFA was the same as A New Hope. Different characters, graphics, etc. but identical storyline. I didn't enjoy it. There are some obvious similarities between them (main character starts out on a desert planet, large planet destroying base, bad guy wears all black and has a red light saber....) but to say they have identical story lines is a bit of a stretch.

QUOTE (Tony @ Sep 13, 2017 -> 08:13 PM) Anyone got a working PS2 they want to sell? I'm really craving some MVP Baseball/Madden 2005. If you happen to have a Half-Price Books near you, check them out. I got a "fat" PS2 with all the cords and 2 controllers for like $30 just last year.

QUOTE (Iwritecode @ Jun 26, 2017 -> 02:25 PM) Our girls won the National Championship on Saturday. Boys came in 2nd. link The girls got their National Championship rings on Friday. They look good with the State Championship rings. On a personal note, I shot a 279 last night. Left one single 10-pin in the 8th frame or else I could've had 300. Ended with a 704 series. First 700 series in a long time.

I don't know why the CEO of a movie theater chain would be worried about this. They make most of their money off concessions. Most of the cost of the movie ticket goes to the actual people that made the movie.
