My friend's was delivered yesterday and I was impressed they actually went with some kind of packaging this time.

Do you know where they were delivering from? OG Decks came from Carol Stream, IL, which is like an hour and a half south of me. I got a tracking number, but no details on the delivery yet, so I'm still kind of hoping it shows up tomorrow if its the same warehouse. But also, this is shipping via UPS, and I think they previously used FedEx.

Meh, I get a haircut once a month, not a big deal.

Got the order in on a 512GB. Stupid purchase since I have the 256GB already, but my trainer will probably buy my old Deck so I don't have to worry about going through the eBay mess.

I happened to be in DC last week, tagging along with my girlfriend who was at a work conference. We decided to go to the Smithsonian Zoo on Monday and saw the pandas just two days before they ended up getting shipped back.

Law and order party.

Nobody says "you would know if it was intentional" when it wasn't actually intentional.

I wish they'd offer a trade in. I'd take the upgrade but I don't want to go through the hassle of getting rid of my current one.

Kinda same here. Maybe if someone here wants one I can make a deal.

People are way too fucking precious about their vote. The vote is a statement of preference of one candidate over the other, not a statement of support of every single policy position they hold.

You can vote for a less than ideal candidate one day and use the other 364 days a year to press and advocate on those positions you have an issue with.

Why is it just called "Fan Expo?" That is like the least descriptive name for a convention ever.

It’s impossible for NYC to have a normal mayor 

Chicago has struggled with that for a bit with Rahm and Lori.

Done for the day, going home tomorrow. It’s been an amazing trip, best one I’ve ever taken. But I’m also tired and walked so much in the last three weeks that my feet are all screwed up. Worth it, though. I miss my house and my bed and my dog. 

This has been the case with every one of my trips. My ankles become swollen like a menopausal woman.

Honestly, I do hear loud "bangs" from time to time and I never actually know if they're gunshots or fireworks.

What is the actual mechanism for which the vote for Speaker goes to the House floor?

I'm sure she was never actually his attorney.

Yeah, I have something like $4500 saved up in UR points that can be used for travel. Worth a bit less if I cash it out. Some people are crazy with optimizing credit card rewards if you ever check out r/churning.

Is there a catch because the 10% anniversary bonus seems too good to be true.

The points dividend was something they offered a long time ago when they first started the card but was also like the first benefit they dropped. I'm shocked they brought it back again.

I'm fairly deep in the Ultimate Rewards ecosystem and have four cards that I use. Sapphire Reserved being the primary, a basic card, and two business cards. I tend to apply for a new card whenever I have a large purchase coming up to take advantage of any sign up bonuses.

I don't think I've ever seen Gym in a suit jacket before. He always lets those guns free.

Seriously though how has there been no follow up about the mystery baby. 

Maybe a dingo ate the baby.

Those pharmacies typically fill less than the chains. They fill roughly 200-400 prescriptions. CVS, on the other hand, usually processes around 800-1200 prescriptions in a 10-12 hour day. 

1000+ is what you'd see in a high volume store, but I'd say the average (at least from my perspective at Walgreens) is between 500-700.

After about 35-40 hours into playthrough number 2 I finally started on the DLC stuff. Loved the game first time around, been loving it so far on the second go-through. I'm sure the Dogtown stuff will pick up soon, but something about it felt a bit "off." Felt they could have eased into it better rather than just having Songbird call your randomly after you do a specific story quest. I know it'd be tough to integrate it into the base game, but more buildup of Dogtown and who Songbird is or what she's doing rather than just infodump as you start the quest.

My mom was a pharmacy tech for 30ish years at a grocery pharmacy and finally retired a couple months ago. She decided to retire early because she just couldn't bother with the stress anymore.

I'm sure I've mentioned it somewhere, but I work for Walgreens and it's pretty obvious that things aren't going so hot for the company as a whole. We literally just announced our new CEO on Tuesday, and still have openings in the CIO and CFO positions, possibly other c-suite positions as well, hard to keep track of that shit.

According to Speaker Pro Tempore McHenry only 209 out of the 221 GOP representatives are actually around.

Sounds like the perfect time to hold a vote for Speaker.

What if a bunch of GOP congressmen are standing outside the House chambers discussing what they're going to do and one guy just yells out "HAKEEEEEM JEFFERIESSSSS" like Leroy Jenkins and runs in and starts a vote for Speaker. Everyone is so confused and Jefferies is voted Speaker.

Republicans can't lead. They won't follow. They need to just get out of the way.

Why would anyone want to save Menendez? Just give him the boot at let the Governor appoint a replacement.
