    I agree with about 95+% of all that. Here's one thing to consider: If we went through K-12 schools and fired all the shitty teachers Terminator-style, who would we replace them with? We're going to have to pay more to attract more talent, then we can start the purge.

    One problem is that there are simply too many Div 1 (or whatever the term is) college programs. plus A playoff based on rankings is regarded. Guaranteed spots for certain conferences is bullshit. Big money wants it both ways. plus NIL money and the transfer portal equals: Fans: Controversy!!! so and so is ranked one spot above so and so!!!! OUTRAGE!!!! ESPN: Heh heh, dance morons. If we are going to have a playoff (sigh), then we need 8 conferences with 10 to 12 teams each. Each conference decides who their champion is and sends that team to the playoffs. Random seeded. Team with best record or best point differential is home team. Or seed based on records (or point differentials). Whatever.

    The ads in CR have gotten out of control. They slide up from the bottom and block half the page. I get it, you need to make money. I'm not a communist. But the enshittification is really really bad.

    I mean, its a very difficult job, with shitty pay, no respect and now outright hostility and threats. Of course you are going to get shitty teachers. If we want good teachers, we are going to have to pay a lot more, give them support, training, continuing education, and as a society treat them with respect. Good luck with all that. Also, you aren't going to get rid of coaches teaching just so they an coach unless you get rid of sports in K-12. Lots of good luck with that. Anybody bagging on teachers should go sub for a week.

    Need a penny, take a penny. Need a quarter, get a job. Sign seen on the penny slush fund at a local restaurant.

    Same. Went at lunch. Nobody in line. Had four very polite olds helping me out. Took three minutes. Would have taken only two minutes except for the obligatory small town chit chat. Also, I'm working my way through the thread, repping all the voters, even slorch. Only made it to the second page so far.

    My apt complex had the type where you stacked 2 quarters in the horizontal hole, pushed in, quarters fell, and pulled back out. It was very easy to cut a piece of cardboard slightly larger than a quarter, cram that into the hole, and it worked. Back to pennies: Just yesterday, I was checking my brake pads. Two pennies stacked is almost exactly three millimeters. If your brake pads are thinner than 3 millimeters, time to replace them. Although nowadays, brake pads have wear marks, so not really necessary anymore, I guess.

    Based on the novella "Who Goes There?" by John Campbell. Written in 1948(!) https://www.readanybook.com/online/656595

    Yet another example of youth being wasted on the young.

    This is exactly correct. These gambling sites can't risk all the money going one way, because then they could get fucked over really hard. They need the betting to be more or less even both ways, that way no matter who wins or loses, they get their vig. If all the money is going one way, then the hype needs to move to the other way to balance they betting.

    ngl, I'd hit the right side version, with the lights on, sober.

    Friend of mine is an engineer and test driver for Bridgestone/Firestone. He says just buy the middle priced tires. Cheaper are cheaper, more expensive don't really get you anything more, its all just marketing.

    Comments are saying Black Racer. I cant confirm, but the racers in my area are definitely climbers and biters.

    Magnum Force is a great movie.

    Parents took me to see Jaws at the old drive in on Ben White, which was near the intersection with I-35, iirc. Movie came out in 75(I think?) so I was probably about 9. The Towering Inferno was the second movie, which actually scared me more for some reason. I remember a scene where an elevator opens and the fire bursts in and burns up all the people in the elevator. Also saw Smokey and the Bandit for the first time at that drive in. Any of you old timers remember that drive in? @Armybrat ?

    @Irish Wrist Watch I'd wait to trim until the leaves drop. Also, in your second pic, I'd cut both of those branches that join near the soil and go to the left completely off. Keep the main trunk. You probably want a "tree" and not a "bush". But wait for winter. However I'd also defer to @cactusflinthead, he seems to know more what he's talking about.
