Some of the geico commercials are pretty entertaining, I like this one:

 

[huh]

Quinn and Makcolm cam! Best pillow ever! Speaking of Malcome... He literally chased my car down the middle of street like a dog today..

 

[huh]

I'm bored..and a little bit funktified by the time change

End Day Light SavingTime

Why did daylight saving time (DST) start, and why does it still continue?

...here in Arizona, we just watch them and giggle.​

 

[jefboyardee]

I was in some DST state or another for my first forty-five years. I never liked it but like everyone else, just learned to deal with it. When I moved to Arizona, I was actually concerned about dealing with no time change. But the big surprise was that there was no surprise – each hour just turns into the next. I have no desire to move back to a DST state.

(And yes, I know that the reservations in Arizona actually do obey DST, also for unknown reasons.)

Well this is no surprise...

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Exactly my thoughts!

Love a thread that instantly changes topics from Daylight Savings Time to beating the crap out of an incarcerated child molester... they're both unwelcome on this planet.

Yeah, I can't stand threads. And topics! Don't even get me started...

I ordered concert tickets yesterday at ticketmaster.com (US). When I log in to my account to print the tickets, all I see is two QR-codes. Is that it? I can't open any PDF-file?

 

[mikedt]

You scan the QRs with the Ticketmaster app, and your phone is the ticket? Just a guess.

 

[Kaat72]

The site provides a non working option to download and print a pdf, which I prefer for our trip.
Online is my back up plan.

Had a chat with a sales rep of Ticketmaster and he emailed the tickets

 

[mikedt]

Buying train tickets online here can be done in similar manner, once you've done the booking online, it presents a QR, which you scan for an e-ticket with your phone. But then you must show that to the actual ticket office at the railway station, and obtain a real printed train ticket.

Happy Sunday everybody! How's everybody's weekend going?

 

[shalemail]

This just in, we are T-minus approximately 3 days and 6 hours until the Thursday previews of Batman V Superman ... and I am dying from anticipation. That is all. Back to your regularly scheduled afternoon.

Do not let the fear frighten you.

Do not let the fear frighten you.

What fear?

Heard about what happened in Brussels, Belgium today? 26 Souls are lost in bombings in the airport and in metrostations. Innocent people, on their way to work and school. On their way to board a plane.
That happened just over a 100 miles from my home. It frightens me. The fanatic, frantic fear from others even more.

Watching on CNN now. What a nightmare. But you are right. You can't let the fear control your life or they win.

It frightens me.

That's kinda the point.

To put things in perspective, 1.25 million people are killed worldwide each year in auto accidents. That's 3,425 every day. In the time it took me to type this, statistically 5 people died unnecessarily doing something nobody thinks twice about. That's what we must do with these fanatics ... think of them as if they were an '89 Honda with bald tires and a bad transmission.

Don't fear these azzholes, it's what they want.

 

[Deleted User]

Azzholes is right.

 

[LilacBleeds]

I was at work when I heard about this as I just get up and go to work so around 11am I heard about this...... such a sad thing to hear and my thoughts go out to the family and friends.......

Fear can't be shown as they will do more

I'm not religious, but I'd like to believe that if there was a hell, then the people who commit these atrocities would go straight to it, and have an eternal afterlife of constant and terrible pain.
