  1. @Jive Turkey Yeah, I was there on Friday at 4:45 as I was able to get into the site and place an order. I already had to make a run to Target so I figured I could swing by on the way home. They had a great email about how you just show up, give them a call while staying in your car, and then turn your blinkers on after letting them know your make and model. They would bring everything out to you. Yeah, that didn't happen. Get there and there's a line of morons standing outside and others milling about right next to each other. They had over 100 orders in the first 10 minutes so they had to shut the site down to orders. The phones were slammed with people calling in to try to place an order. 

    I sat in my car for 10 minutes trying to get through with no luck. I eventually got out and navigated my way around people to an area where there was no one standing around me. I talked to one of the workers as he came out as he had a list of people he was working through. It was a total shitshow. Got my beers for me and mdleast and then got the fuck out of there.

    Many there were treating this like a big party. I get you're happy there's a new brewery and you've been waiting a while to get their beers but have some fucking common sense. Same with Vector. The beers were okay but I don't know if I'll go back considering how fucking stupid their setup was. They could have very easily had one employee come out and tell everyone to get back in their cars and that they would come around to get everyone's info to get their orders. Just fucking dumb. I was going to complain on their Facebook page but every post said nothing about the shitshow. It was all just glowing praise. So I sent them an email on their site. Lake Highlands people seem to be morons. I remember Corby posting a picture of 30 people hanging out waiting for their to-go orders at the Mi Cocina on Skillman. 

  2. I figured that our June Disneyland trip is gone. I just got an email from the Courtyard by Marriott that we had been booked at that they have cancelled all reservations until June 21st. So either they just did a straight cancel and you can rebook if the parks are open by then or they know that Disneyland isn't coming back online till around that date. Very interesting. 

  3. This 60 Minutes on the impacts of this to the people in NYC is incredibly tough but also has a lot of heartwarming stories. Stories of people now out of work that can't get through to the unemployment office to get benefits started, a company that went from laying off 30 to hiring 100 when they retooled to make shields and masks, employees volunteering to split hours with others so everyone can get paid, and someone buying meals from a local restaurant to support them but also give Mt Sinai staff something good to eat.  If you have a chance to catch the replay, it's worth it.

  4. As the death toll mounts, his poll numbers will drop. His crowing about H1N1 killing more than this is going to haunt him. His idiot base will still vote for him. But as people lose jobs, loved ones, friends, and money, they'll find somebody to blame. That's not Joe Biden.

  5. Yeah, I thought Clementine might be in Charlotte but I can't remember how much the two interacted. Wasn't Clementine turned into a Delos controlled double agent when everyone was trying to find the Source. Teddy seems to make more sense given his only directive was to be with Dolores and he was pretty fragile at times. 

  6. Pretty awful for a club that's pulling revenue of 42 million. They're only paying 20% of the wages and expecting the British government to pay the rest. They won't be the last to do this. Wouldn't shock me if this decision came from FSG.
