  1. Not more leeway; paying a much heavier price and with a lot of collateral damage.
  2. Was the coach ever convicted of a domestic violence crime? Was he ever even formally charged? It does appear he put his hands on his wife, which is bad, I agree wholeheartedly with that. But I also believe in forgiveness and reconciliation and second chances. If that's what Urban was doing in his best judgment then I don't fault him for that.
  3. I disagree. This is a guy who is probably the second best head football coach of this generation making millions of dollars a year. He has an entire staff of people and an entire program and fan base relying on him who would be hurt if he was terminated. All because of a press conference gaffe? You have to be perfect in this world or you pay the ultimate price? I'm sorry, I just don't think that's the way it should be.
  4. A wrong answer at a press conference.
  5. Here's my worthless take: Meyer wasn't properly prepared for the press conference and he made a mistake by lying. He appeared to be genuinely caught off guard by the question, but he shouldn't have been. This goes to he lack of preparation. That said, I consider the infraction - getting an answer wrong in a press conference - minor. The mob mentality wants to pin the guy as favoring his wife-beating assistant coach over condemning domestic violence, but that's not what this is. There's too much mob-mentality BS going on today. I'd like to see the tide turn on that and maybe this will be the case. If he gets fired over this I think it will be a case of tOSU catering to the mob mentality and making a PR move. The punishment will far outweigh the crime. A lot of people will be hurt by it, including the university and everyone associated with it; a lot of innocent people.
  6. Shit, dude. Sorry. I replaced the post because it's a volatile topic and certain people (like my FIL) would get very hurt if they ever saw it. The tl;dr version - my wife and her mother claim medical knowledge and do a bunch of stupid shit like cancer claims and veganism.
  7. We were out of town four days including the weekend. My parents were coming to our city and asked if they could stay at our house while we were gone. We said yes and left them a key in a hidden place. Since we were going to be gone we also had a pet sitter who we also told about the key. Wife informs pet sitter about my parents staying at the house. I inform my parents of pet sitter. My parents arrive to our house late at night after their event. No key. Wife failed to tell pet sitter to leave the key in the hiding spot for my parents.
  8. Can we get Chad Briscoe to translate?
  9. Is your neighbor someone's wife? That vaccination shit is one of the dumbest things I have ever heard.
  10. It's different because he also works in a "we" space. So most of his life is under this "we" corporate umbrella where everything is provided for you, for a price.
  11. Meh, who cares? A very different perspective on life that what I have, but different strokes.
  12. Doesn't add all of the different chemicals. I want something I fill with chemicals 5-6 times a year and it does the rest.
  13. Someone could make an absolute mint if they developed a machine that would automatically add chemicals to your pool. It's a huge pain in the ass. Right now I'm too cheap to hire a pool guy, but I'm quickly getting over it.
  14. Caption that man's reaction: "White people. SMH."
  15. I've always thought that deaf chick was hot.
  16. I've done a lot of stupid shit as a professional. One time I had a hearing in county court. I was representing the plaintiff in a simple collections case and the defendant had never shown up for anything, never filed an answer, never responded to my letters or phone calls. So we're at the hearing, and I ask the judge if we could take up some other matter in the case. The judge asked if I had noticed the issue for a hearing and I said no, but the defendant never shows for anything so I thought we could just go ahead. She asked me, "Don't you think that would violate Rule 21 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure?" I didn't know what the fuck Rule 21 was so I had to say, "I don't know." The judge just looked at me incredulously and asked if there was anything else. Rule 21 is one of the most rudimentary rules of civil procedure that says everything you file in court has to be noticed to the other side. Basic due process. I felt like a real idiot that day.
  17. I was out of town last weekend and my wife invited her sister's family over to swim in the pool. We've only been in the house a little while and my wife doesn't know anything about the pool controls. This was the first time she used the pool without me there. She wanted to run the hot tub, so she calls me. It was a too-long and very frustrating conversation that ended with me screaming at her and asking to talk to my brother in law so he could do the controls, but at one point I asked her if the fountains were running. The reason I asked her this was to verify that she had moved the valves in the right way so that all of the suction and all of the return was flowing through the heater and the hot tub like it was supposed to. We have these two little water features that are just jets that spew little fountains of water up a foot or so. If the fountains were going that meant she did not have the valves set right. She kept answering me talking about the bubbles in the hot tub (which I also had to explain to her how to operate). I was telling her, "The fountains! The two little jets of water on the step platform!" Silence. "Where we set the baby's seat!" Silence. "The fountains!" Silence. She still had no fucking idea what I was talking about. "Jesus! Let me talk to *brother-in-law*!!"
  18. Had exact same thing happen.
  19. Is Dirt Bike the new Chad Briscoe?
  20. It is grammatically incorrect, which is precisely why people are doing it - for effect. Grammatical rules are broken all the time for effect.
  21. A lot of people bitch about this, but I don't think it's actually incorrect. They are using the word "literally" to emphasize the truth of the statement. It's really the same as saying "actually." Like, "That ACTUALLY happened." "Actually" is superfluous, other than to add emphasis. Intentional misuse of "literally" does the same thing. Though it's true that most people probably don't realize they are misusing the word. Now it's just an accepted saying.
  22. Based on the information that you have, there is no way to know with any degree of certainty whether your wife has any Easter European ancestry. So neither of you can be right. You are right about the math, but the math doesn't take into account key variables, like the rate of intermixing of Eastern Europeans with Western Europeans since the beginning of time. I think 23 and Me and those things are bullshit too, so you aren't going to get any answers there either.

  24. I wish I was.
