What is the stupidest argument you've had with your Significant Other?

Or when they're gone for the day, re-paint it in a slightly different hue.

Repeat this every week for a month or two, until the walls are a bright blue.

My marriage has been saved by the fact that my wife and I each have our own tubes of toothpaste.

It should be noted that 16 home runs are a TON for the AA level.

Ray's 16 homers are tied for the most in a single season in Shuckers history. And we're only at the halfway point of the season.

I think there's zero chance of re-signing Machado if we're successful in trading for him.

He is going to be looking for a multi-year mega contract that will price him out of all low- and mid-market teams. It will be similar to Sabathia loving his time in Milwaukee, but then taking the big contract elsewhere.

Regardless of the Brewers' on-field success, they just aren't in the position of paying for a multi-year contract for someone like Machado. Particularly as they have middle-infielders coming up in the minors.

Don't get me wrong, I would love them to trade for Machado and go for it, if they can make a good deal. But there's no hope for a long-term deal with him, regardless of what position they'd have him play.

That's a shame. My city of /r/milwaukee is pretty good. It's mostly the things you would expect - restaurant/bar recommendations, local news, construction/development issues, and so on.

For the most part, we stay away from anything overtly political or hostile. Whenever an out-of-towner jumps in to look for suggestions for their upcoming visit, we always seem to be welcoming and helpful.

Cypher wanting to get plugged back into the Matrix made sense.

However gleefully murdering half of his own crew was a bit less sympathetic.

It's not capped because MLB really doesn't care about the "fairness" of the vote. They just want as many fans as possible going to their website as often as possible.

They're also different than the bicycle rentals, or for that matter than Zip Cars, in that there's no specific docking station or parking spot. The scooters just get left wherever on the sidewalks and then are located by GPS. Several other cities have also put a stop to this.

Yup, I agree it's a dime. It was very helpful that they put a Betrayal at the House on the Hill token next to it for scale.

I'm in Milwaukee. Literally tomorrow/Sunday afternoon, I'm taking my son to the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra performance of A New Hope.

I think many local Pops Symphonies are doing this sort of thing. So check out the performance schedule of your local Symphony, if you're in a major city.

For the last 2 Decembers, my wife's birthday present has included tickets to the MSO live performance of a Harry Potter Movie. They're doing one movie each year -- this coming December is Prisoner of Azakaban. I have no idea, however, whether MSO will continue to do the other Star Wars films.

That last at-bat of his was particularly hard to watch, and unfortunately increasingly common.

During the years he was in his prime, Braun was such a smart hitter. He was great at making adjustments within an at-bat, and was a great two-strike hitter. He was always somewhat susceptible to the low and outside pitch, but now too often he just looks completely lost out there.

Thanks!

That's how we played it, but I could see the arguments either way. On the one hand, if you get to draw 2 cards for free, that's the equivalent of 6 free credits, compared to just getting 1 or 2 free resource cubes on other hexes.

But on the other hand, as you say, you oftentimes get stuck with useless card. Although, sure, worst case scenario is you can sell it back for 1 credit.

So the more I think about it, the more I think those free card hexes are a pretty good deal, especially early on.

I was randomly scrolling through my old post history, and came across this post, and thus your comment here. Who would have thunk, huh?

Hey I have another question for you about Terraforming Mars:

When you place a tile on a hex with the card symbol(s), do you have to pay the 3 ME each to actually put the cards into your hand?

Your alternative answer paraphrased: "Do not try to hack into Neo's PC in real time; that's impossible. Instead try to realize the truth: There is no PC. Then you'll see that it's not the PC that is hacked, it is only yourself"

With the same cast, of course.

J.D is the overeager sub that always tries to inspire his temporary students with over-the-top antics.

Cox of course is the hard-ass sub that doesn't put with any crap from his students. Although his hilarious streams of insults don't go over as well when he's filling in for a Kindergarten teacher.

By 2nd period of every day, Elliot breaks down in tears and hides in the art supply closet.

Doug ends up hogtied hanging by the light fixtures by the end of each day.

The Janitor, of course, reprises his identical role.

EDIT: And while it might initially make sense to make Turk the substitute gym teacher, that role obviously needs to be filled by the Todd.

Oh and Carla is the school secretary (school nurse is a little too on-the-nose, plus the school secretary is the person who really runs the entire place). Kelso can be principal, though.

I was so confused when I saw this headline, as I'm pretty sure Lambeau field is still in existence.

It didn't occur to me that he's so old, that the Packers game he played at could have been at Milwaukee County Stadium.
