    Gym Pet Peeves

    I live in a small town with one YMCA. There's basically one of each weight machine. Olds love to sit on one machine for 10 minutes spending minutes between sets talking to other olds. I often can't complete my routine in the time I've allotted because some old took forever to use one machine. The inverse of the olds taking forever at a machine are the young guys who finish a set and then check themselves out in the mirror for minutes in between sets likewise taking forever to finish up on a machine. There's one spray bottle with an auto paper towel dispenser to use to clean a machine after using. There's always some yahoo that takes the one spray bottle to the machine to spend a minute cleaning it instead of just spraying the paper towel at the cleaning station and taking the towel to the machine. I'd go somewhere else but the only options are a UFC bro gym that requires a contract and an Anytime Fitness with same contract BS.
  2. Is the bet that new gas stoves will be illegal in America in 5 years? I'll take that bet too.
  3. I lived in that shitty neighborhood behind Taco House as a kid and would bike to Taco House two or three times a week. Amazing food. I was in town recently visiting the folks and I could swear they're finally accepting cards after being cash only for ever.
  4. People who pull their shopping carts around the store from the front. I don't know why, it just really irks me.
  5. Helping a cousin probate his mom's, my aunt's, will. Cousin is the sole beneficiary. She passed with few assets. She had some stocks and mutual funds and my cousin says her financial institution gave him control over those without needing anything from the court. Would those assets still need to be included in the inventory?
  6. He caught that!!
  7. Assuming it's targeting, is the ball at the 1?
  8. Tulane has some talent in the stands.
  9. Rosarios on San Pedro/281 might have space.
  10. Wild stuff. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/12/19/nyregion/george-santos-ny-republicans.html?unlocked_article_code=7I5I5q41cKnRkYl-zR-fvzS4MGHIjgxHizW0sgK6KjzK2Beod0Y1r438o5omNNsqYJfsyPwhDMS9lG8TM36jTy660J7C6WxngiN1CgJVqxRVo1U8_qGj07Vm0aTzt9Okjg10ayO76O1kbU2m8_7OZxg7TcReyMxPi72ErF56r_ah58PigQ4ECa9EeD10xi2Z_lHD7hGyneaiO7zw3njSetmBPSm9pjh4Fn4v4gRYGm0prWYxq9L7cJLzNSdr7CVjSF3CAxXMd912LyyEwYbmB1q47FMcR8Sgc2FxTdKNvPbb80dF9i8KEscBOseK9-tA3QJLDHA1WXJF7IkM4B98zj0mhezTEI4&smid=share-url
  11. Beautiful!
  12. Criminal defense attorney here. Can we at least wait to hear the facts? Admittedly I haven't read this thread or followed the story.
  13. It's also a subscribable channel on Prime.
  14. Woohoooooo!!!!
  15. Ha! That was awesome. Go Utes!
  16. Nice play UTSA.
  17. He's a scene stealer to be sure. The French chick is really good as well.
  18. This is a great series on Prime about the SAS beginnings in WW2 in North Africa. It's got humor, action, and a great story. The cast is spot on. I don't know how accurate it is, but it's fun to watch. I'm a sucker for anything WW2. Unfortunately they only release one episode per week and currently have three up.
  19. Boquerones Fritos is one of my favorite dishes when in Spain.
  20. I'm headed to Scotland next November with a few good friends and I'm early planning for it. The West Highland Line suggestion above looks amazing and we'll definitely do that. We only have four days for Scotland as we're doing a week driving around Ireland. We'll probably fly into Glasgow from Dublin or Belfast for the train ride and try to do a full day in Edinburgh after that and fly home from there. I've been to Scotland a couple times but never the highlands, so I'm trying to fit in both the highlands for me and Edinburgh for the friends. I try not to pack too much into a short trip, but it may be necessary this time considering their tight schedule.
  21. What's the difference between a direct an indirect red card?
  22. Ha! I must be behind a minute. USA!!!!
  23. In the event it becomes unusable, where does everyone go? You'd think some rich tech guys are working around the clock on something to replace it. I don't care for Instagram, don't have Facebook, and have no idea how tiktok works. Reddit's a weird interface and I looked at Mastodon just now and closed it 30 seconds later completely confused. It'll be interesting to watch the race to be the new twitter. I only got on it during the 2020 election and am embarrassed how much time I've spent on it since then. I think my life will be better without it. Thank god for Surly.
