    Hurrinadoquake

    That's nothing. We had a tiger-quake-nado in Oklahoma 7-8 years ago. A tornado blew up an exotic zoo and the tigers escaped. Then we had an earthquake on top of that. 

    You guys always talk about how Oklahoma sucks but you really have no idea.

    Yeah ballparks do it.

    Our NBA arena went cashless during covid and stayed that way. Something about handling dirty cash. Not sure cards are that much cleaner but whatever. Personally, I think they got tired of employees skimming the till. 

  3. My wife called me to tell me she received a text from our nextdoor neighbor. His son passed away. He was 20/21 so I don't think it takes a rocket scientist to figure out what happened. I know he was going through some things, his dad and I would talk about our grown kids and wonder WTF they were doing. Never anything mean, just dads trying to wrap our heads around the doings of young people.

    He was a polite kid, always said hi if he saw us out and about. Never looked away and pretended he didn't see us. It's a real shame.

  4. The other day, we booked a trip using my wife's credit card, to get the points. After the charge hit, I told my wife to transfer money to the checking account and pay the bill. She did so the next day.

    Last night, she was looking at the bank account and exclaimed "$3000 was taken from our bank account!". I said well, you transferred the money over, right? She said "Yeah but this was taken directly from our account, after I did the transfer!!". I looked at her and said you paid the bill...right? 

    "Oh yeah"

    about $18-25 per day for coffee and lunch, putting 90 miles a week extra mileage on his car.  He figures hes using extra 4 gallons of gas a week and he had to increase his insurance yearly miles driving by 4,500 - which came out to like $25 more per month in insurance coverage.

    Your teammate sounds dumb for calling his insurance company to rat himself out. Does he go by the police station to admit to speeding and cut them a check?

    Also, he could bring a lunch to work and drink water, if he's that hard up.

    The money I save goes into more pleasure travel, clothes, eating out / b

    I started rotating in May 2020. My annual and sick leave started stacking up like a mofo, as I didn't need to take off as much. I now take a nice vacation every 12-18 months. I had so much extra money that my wife and I can eat out more or buy new clothes more often. I'm a sneakerhead/shoe collector and I've bought more shit than I care to admit. 

    I bought a brand new car in April last year, still haven't hit 10K miles yet. My fuel costs are way down too. So yeah, those big corps are gonna get their money if they just shut up.

  7. Walked into the living room this morning, just a normal day. But as I was walking, I guess I pulled something in my back/ribs. Had to double over just to catch my breath. Better now but I'm sore and I'm sure that will last for several days.

    You may have hit the nail on the head… with Stanford’s Silicon Valley ties, they are the ideal match for Apple

    I agree it would be a great match but who would they play? Sure, they can still play ND but who else?

    Utah has been quiet as a church mouse. Are there any hard rumors that they're ready to move to the B12? All I've seen is twitter speculation, nothing from their admin.

    I misread that as "Fully engorged" but I think it works either way.

    Common board of regents with ASU, and ASU president Crow is pushing hard to stay in PAC. BOR has to approve Arizona departure, and they want Arizona and ASU in the same conference. 

    That Apple offer expires tonight, I read somewhere. What if the board tells AZ they have to stay with ASU and then AZ files some sort of appeal? They could threaten to drag this out until after the deal is off the table. Some kobayashi maru kind of shit.
