    Same. This is the first year that I bought the most expensive edition to get the extra stuff.

    Did the same. My only complaint is I really don't have the time to both grind for players AND actually play Ranked Season games. After the actual mlb season ends it's much easier to obtain 99s so grind becomes less arduous.

    I mean I love Metallica too. I have fond memories of Billy Wagner rolling out to Enter Sandman to close out Astros games 20 fucking years ago. Timeless. 

    I was at Jack Murphy/Qualcomm in 98? to see Trevor Hoffman tie the consecutive save record against the Astros. He came out to "Hells Bells" and when those bells started ringing . . . holy shit.

    What we really need is a-la-carte cable TV. It sickens me that I'm helping subsidize fucks like Fox News every month by paying my youtube TV bill. 

    Jumping off from this point to ask why hasn't someone come out with a new streaming service that specifically advertises that it will not carry Fox, OANN, etc.?

    I honestly think there's tens of millions of folks who would switch.

    i would assume there's also some sort of 'cost of living' baked into the salary - i.e., all things being equal, a life guard in Los Angeles County is going to make significantly more than one in Nueces County b/c LA costs way more $$$ than Corpus. aren't most or many CA jobs like that? (and jobs in other super expensive markets)  

    Yes, for the most part.

    I love this thread. Peak surly. We are arguing the merits and worthiness of Cali lifeguards. 

    I'd say these stats are spot on. The life guards are always hyper vigilant, constantly scanning the water with binocs, walking and warning people to stay away from dangerous rip areas or running and swimming to false alarms. It seems pretty damn stressful as I'm sure they don't want to be the asshole who had someone die on their watch.

    But yea, they still aint worth $200k a year.

    From the article, it seems that the only people earning 200k+ a year were management and leadership positions. He cites the only 2 women that made over that amount and it looks like they are higher up. Is that too much to pay? I dont know.
