  1. About 20 minutes ago I hear the Mrs. downstairs vacuuming, or I should say trying to vacuum, followed by a bunch of curses. I go downstairs and this conversation: Me: "What's wrong?" Her: "We need a new vacuum cleaner, this one is broken" (1 year old Dyson). Me: (Taking vacuum out to garage. Two minutes later I pull an ink pen and a bunch of packed dust & hair out of the attachment). "The attachment was clogged with a pen, did you look at that?" Her: "Oh, how did that get in there?"
  2. You have no clue what "being an accessory to a crime means, do you?
  3. Last year NIH caught five scientists at MD Anderson stealing research for the Chinese and boot three of them: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/texas-cancer-center-ousts-3-scientists-over-chinese-data-theft-n997151
  4. Robin Hood has a run in with the Sheriff of Nottingham and through cunning and wit publicly humiliates the sheriff and his men and flees back to the forest. The sheriff and his men set a trap and capture Robin Hood and sentence him to the gallows. I can't wait to see how he escapes this one.
  5. Seems like Chicago has many bad people. Ideally, local/regional leadership would get together with local/regional law enforcement and plan a strategy to fix the bad people issue but that's not going to happen; too much to ask of the leadership, politics and all. Might as well arm the population and hope they take out a few bad actors. That is a strategy...
  6. Nothing says "GET OFF MY LAWN" like a 3-inch .20 gauge load of rock salt. Is your driveway asphalt?
  7. More strange from the article above: Shatner's disdain for the officer's actions was not limited to one comment. He went on to point out the infamous 2019 incident where a Lethbridge police officer euthanized a deer by repeatedly running it over with his vehicle.
  8. Capt Kirk rallies the Trekies to the Star War's defense: William Shatner blasts Lethbridge police takedown of woman in stormtrooper costume https://calgary.ctvnews.ca/william-shatner-blasts-lethbridge-police-takedown-of-woman-in-stormtrooper-costume-1.4927714
  9. Yes, brought that to the wife's attention, we'll never hit the deductible if we source outside the insurance plan. But when we were used to a $10-$15 co-pay for so many years it's a tough pill to swallow. /pun intended/
  10. So my company dropped the insurance carrier we've been using for the last ten years and switched to a new carrier this year. My wife & I glossed over the prescription coverage when we selected a new plan and we found out last month, the hard way, it has a deductible to meet before coverage kicks in. We literally had to go back to the doctor and they helped find an online place to order for less than half the cost of the local pharmacy. Has anyone ever use GoodRx to buy scripts and does it really work? My wife was checking some of the costs and they were substantially less. Seems too easy so the warning alarm is going off. In the mean time I will send a strongly worded message to our company's "voice of the workforce" about company provided insurance. /sarcasm, strong/
  11. When we lived in Georgetown we had scorpions, spiders, ants, etc. getting in the house. I started buying insect killer for lawns (granules, not spray), sprinkled in my flower beds around my house every other month or so and they pretty much disappeared except for the occasional dead one we'd find. I also mixed in the fire ant stuff when I fertilized and it kept the fire ants in the neighbor's yards and out of mine.
  12. If Kansas and Baylor have number one seeds locked up don't expect them to put out much effort in the conference tournament.
  13. SS's strategy is unfolding now. He wants to defend his NIT crown or add a CBI to his trophy case.
  14. You know, the first year after Hakeem Olajuwon came over from Nigeria he could not make a 2-ft jump shot to save his life. Guy Lewis had him stand in front of the basket and told him if anyone brought the ball to the basket to block the shot, and if they missed to rebound the ball. If he got the ball under the basket to dunk it or pass it to his teammates. Look where that got him. Guy Lewis was a fucking genius...
  15. His punishment depends on if he is good or really, really, really good (and deserves a 2nd chance).
