  1. I've never attempted to go to a game when the weather is bad...how likely are they to postpone Saturday's game?
  2. Sounds like a social engineering scam…
  3. who wouldn't want to come live and play in what looks like the most desolate place on earth?
  4. he has the skin tone of a suckling pig...
  5. My wife's late grandfather was on the 1950 NC winning team, and apparently they give a season ticket in perpetuity. His wife sent us that one and we got the seat next to it, so we'll have two season tickets for the first time. We really caught the bug in the last post season, and its a great team to watch more often. Her grandfather had some cool stories of playing back then, back at Clark Field. He was a pitcher who ended up in the then Milwaukee Braves farm system, pitched against Frank Robinson and Mickey Mantle, amongst others.
  6. I thought you said return to civilization?
  7. sounds like a real Jurk
  8. we're basically turning into European soccer where a random oligarch decides a team is going to be good now.
  9. What is interesting about it is that it doesn't seem to be pandemic driven, at least not primarily. Other countries saw a decrease of violent crime in 2020 while ours shot up. Certainly there is an aspect of policing reform at play here in the wake of the George Floyd murder. Whether it is actually due to policy or funding changes, a reaction by police forces to what they perceive as widespread hostility (some real, some imagined) or something that was going to happen regardless is hard to tell.
  10. Sydney Carton? Smug? I think you have the wrong guy.
  11. This was entirely too sexual
  12. Thanks for the reply. Yes, I need to really set aside time to learn mindfulness. I seem to apply any bad experiences in the past to the future. Like how bad things went with my previous company, and leaving to another that ended up being a really bad fit (they didn't tell me there would be travel involved in the interview process which is a no-go for my wife). Now I am at a good company that is growing a lot and has a lot of opportunity to grow but I just keep expecting things to go bad like they have in the past. Like I can't just live in the present. Anyways, I'm glad to be able to talk about mental issues here, especially in a predominantly male space as it can feel a bit isolating dealing with anxiety as a man.
  13. Unless I am misunderstanding you, it does sound like you could use a fitting to get them sized down if they are just standard length men’s clubs. Off the rack is generally for a 5’9” man so shortening them an inch or so could definitely help.
  14. Are your irons an off the rack women’s set?
  15. Does anybody else always fear the worst? I find myself fearing the future all the time, just waiting for the other shoe to drop. I had some bad experiences with work earlier this year and finally find myself at a good place as of November. It has been nothing but good so far but I still catastrophize all the time. “What if these people quit? What if they ask me to do things I don’t know how to do/can handle?” Its exhausting and I can’t seem to just exist in the moment and not have anxiety about the future.
  16. Is this the year I make it into the 70s? Let's check the magic 8 ball
  17. The Economist reported exactly this recently: https://www.economist.com/united-states/2021/11/27/ivermectin-may-help-covid-19-patients-but-only-those-with-worms
  18. Damn dude, maybe get off the internet for a while.
  19. Insert hank Scorpio gif
  20. this CEO seems like he has more than a few screws loose: https://www.inc.com/jason-aten/the-ceo-who-fired-900-employees-on-a-zoom-call-is-out-its-a-tragic-example-of-how-not-to-manage-people.html
  21. Gone silent might just mean a teenager is tired of getting 20 texts a day from weird grown men...
  22. Yeah its a damn shame. What was once so pure and free of corruption...
  23. that's his girlfriend... unless he is realllllllyyy close with his mom
  24. Question for those involved: How did y'all land on TE for Burnt Ends and OL for HWH? Their general suckitude for the last decade?
