  1. Yeah. That’s not how you turn it off. You gotta dig deeper in the settings.
  2. Springsteen should print that on a banner and hoist it up behind the stage at his next concert. It’s a badge of honor.
  3. You can turn that shit off. Most of our phones did not blow up.
  4. I’m not really following your line of reasoning here. They probably will get replaced by automation eventually. But it will have nothing to do with the likability of their union president or the public perception of their demands in this strike. Neither of those two things matter in the least here. Not one little bit.
  5. No union member cares if their president is likable or not. They just want the guy in there that can get them the best deal… period. They’re going to get better than what’s on the table. They won’t get what they’re asking for, but it will be better than what’s on the table now. And nobody in that union cares what the public perception is of that. The public isn’t voting on this.
  6. Somewhere up there a bombardier who caught shit for a miss is smiling and saying “I fucking told you guys!”
  7. I’d be curious to know about what percentage of the people who are outraged by this issue gave one single fuck about women’s sports before. Unless you’re a parent of a female athlete you likely didn’t pay attention or care one bit about women’s sports before. But now all of a sudden you’re fucking outraged and have to fix this great injustice. It’s just another case of people needing to find something to be angry about. Who fucking cares? Some school could decide to put LeBron James on their women’s basketball team and I don’t think I would care about it other than some simple amusement.
  8. Oh I understand it’s a reality. That doesn’t mean people shouldn’t be fighting to change it. Teachers should absolutely be paid a lot more. Sounds like you should’ve been paid a lot more as well. Just because it happens traditionally in some fields doesn’t make it right.
  9. Your jobs sound like they all sucked. Just because you put up with it stuck with that kind of bullshit doesn’t make it right. It shouldn’t take overtime to raise a family comfortably. And nobody is asking for a 75% wage increase NOW. The increase is spread over the life of the contract to be at 75% years from now. It’s a significant wage increase for sure, but not the hyperbole that some of you are spewing. The economy might hit a bump over this if it lasts a while but it’s not crashing. Anyone in purchasing has seen this coming for a long time and has been stockpiling their most important supplies. This has happened before and life went on.
  10. I hear lots and lots of people say that they absolutely won’t do the surgery. The surgery changed my life. I had to do it twice, but that was my fault because I came back too soon from the first one and re-ruptured the same disc. My understanding, as someone posting from a Holiday Inn Express, is that once that disc is fully herniated or ruptured you’re not going to physical therapy it back into place. You could do that with a bulging disc but not one that’s completely herniated already. The gel from inside that disc is pressing on your nerves and causing pain and it’s like toothpaste from a tube. You’re not getting it back in. I’m sure everyone’s situation is different and lots of people can get by without the surgery. But if you need it, it works great. I’m 51 years old, several years removed from the discectomy, and I have no problem going to the gym and doing squats, launching my mountain bike off a 4 foot drop, running, sitting all day at work.. all the things that used to cause me pain I can do easily today because of the surgery
  11. Every single week the holder is placed too far back and too centered, limiting the run-up. And every single week the kicker fails to adjust the placement and get enough side-step in the run up. As soon as you see where they line up you know it’s a miss.
  12. That sounds about right sometimes. And if this is some measurable metric why is it always a nice round number divisible by 5 or 10. How come you never hear a trainer say that a player is 83% good? It all sounds like bullshit to me.
  13. Vince also had Vince on the team. And one of my favorite stats of all time: 32 players from the 2005 roster played in the NFL. The whole damn team was stacked. The entire secondary from 2005 probably starts on this team.
  14. For an injury like this is somebody actually measuring range of motion or strength or some other specific measurable metric to come up with these numbers like 70%? Or is that just some ballpark guess that someone thinks sounds about right?
  15. Cut your heel and have to cruise on back home?
  16. Stockton and Smoot are both foot/anke guys with TxOrtho. I know their knee docs and shoulder docs have all worked on a lot of UT players.
  17. Texas Ortho is a good group. Locations all over town. Various doctors in the group have put me back together again a few times. One thing I have appreciated is that they have x-ray and their own MRI on site so you don’t have to get sent to some shitty imaging center with a different appointment
  18. Muleshoe? The suckage of Lincoln Riley must’ve pulled it off the tracks.
  19. They were pointing fingers at the home inspector in that article several times. The home inspectors I have used were both very clear that they don’t inspect pools. You need a pool company to come do that. The inspection they gave to the house did not include anything about the pool. It’s simply not their area of expertise. I’d be surprised if those buyers in the article weren’t told the same thing.
  20. Another happy T-Mobile guy here. And if you’re a veteran you get worldwide (or pretty close to it) unlimited data for $55 a month. It works fine everywhere. I use Waze when I’m driving abroad. Asia, Europe, Latin America… never a problem. It’s been many years since I fucked around with sim cards or prorated international monthly add-ons.
  21. If these kids had more access to guns to play with they’d spend less time on their damn phones making threats.
  22. Same reason they say he got “shot in the head” in Pennsylvania.
  23. Depends on whether a bunch of Miami douchebags overloaded it or not.
  24. All water craft form a 39° wake. Ducks, kayaks, ski boats, aircraft carriers… The exception being if there are different currents under the surface. I don’t really know shit like that, but your post sent me down a rabbit hole.
