  1. I’ll just say it again. If they had bunted the runner over to second, instead of hitting into a double play, Altuve’s hit would have scored a run. I don’t believe the analytics these teams are using.
  2. Or some ill-booten gotty.
  3. Sorry about that. I just get so frustrated with the state of our country right now, I have no faith a billionaire will face any real repercussions.
  4. That is the America we live in these days and it’s incredibly frustrating. It will ultimately be the demise of this great experiment. Yes there was. At the turn of the century in the early 1900’s the public got so fed up with the cheating, lying, illegal, and immoral behavior of the super rich that they elected as president Teddy Roosevelt, who reined in the super rich, at least as much is possible, by breaking up monopolies and implementing other policies. He was successful because he had a well informed public that valued integrity behind him. Today, even people with the right integrity can’t make a dent in the corruption because the public is stupid, and doesn’t care.
  5. Yes. What’s interesting is that the 5 yr bond is down to 3.5%, which is below both of the rate cuts planned for sep and nov. so the bond market believes it’s headed lower, faster than the current consensus rate cut predictions.
  6. OP please note this post. A few years ago I had your symptoms and the above is what I ended up having. Despite reading that it was a condition which might not go away, my primary care doctor treated it with some sort of medication and it cleared up right away. It was a terrifying level of pain. Almost unbearable. I went to the doctor after the dentist failed to identify the issue correctly.
  7. This may have been covered already but why no Gibson or Clark appearances? I would have thought Gibson especially. So if he didn’t even get a touch I’m assuming portal in December.
  8. I pay way too much for tv service right now, and am finally cutting services as soon as the regular baseball season ends. However, stealing service isn’t my style, so we will pick up YTTV or Hulu Live. And while the cost of tv service can be a waste, in our case it probably keeps us from going out at least 3 nights a month for dinner, which would cost us $300. So, it’s not quite as wasteful is it first seems.
  9. Jerry jones the owner….. …needs to fire Jerry Jones the manager.
  10. By the way, Saban mentioned he has been walking practices, viewing the team, etc. He already has an office he still uses. That does not sound like a healthy situation to me.
  11. Whew, in catching up on this thread I’m incredibly relieved to learn the only reason we lost was because of the thread title. I feel so much better now.
  12. Great post. I laughed.

  14. After watching the Astros hit into way too many double plays, killing scoring chances, I’m questioning the analytics of having a hitter hit with no outs and a guy on first base. They need two positive events to have a chance to score a run. If instead you bunt the guy to second, then one hit in two chances (2 outs) scores a run 75-80% of the time. Or have the guy on first steal. I want to see Gus ball by the Astros, especially since they hit into so many dp’s.
  15. So as far as I can tell, 20 years ago I got the first of two chicken pox vaccines, but didn’t get the second shot after I broke out with a few spots. But when the doctor did a blood test I didn’t have the chicken pox marker. So now I’m wondering whether I should just take the chicken pox vaccine again.
  16. That’s the struggle. I love Berlin. It’s a great city to work and hang out. But I agree with you that it’s probably it not critical for this vacation itinerary .
  17. We are 61 so hanging out with older people is fine. Have thought about the Christmas cruise as well. Years ago when I was at the Vienna Christmas market on Dec 22nd, I almost died from hypothermia. Hahah. Seriously it was amazing.
  18. So we are planning our Germany trip starting the end of May 2026. I've been to Germany many times and have worked over there as well, but my wife has never been. We will also likely hit Prague and somewhere in Austria. Munich and some small towns are definitely in the plan, but I'm trying to decide what to do about Berlin. It's a bit out of the way for where we will be and I'm not sure how important it is to hit it. I've been there 10+ times but have never done much sightseeing. My wife isn't a huge history buff. Thoughts on leaving it off?
  19. Bump. We have started planning a Germany trip for end of May 2026 and while doing so I realized that on our bucket list was to do a European river cruise. Over the years, when I researched it, Germany waterways seemed the best fit for us. We've already seen a lot of other parts of Europe like France, Italy, Mediterranean, etc. But, we aren't cruise people. The thought of taking an ocean cruise with hordes of people drinking themselves to death and squeezing their overweight bodies into a top deck swimming pool, while a DJ blabs on and plays shitty music makes us want to vomit. Hence the thought that a calmer river cruise might be okay. I've been all over Germany many times. My wife hasn't seen any of Germany. So, I'm trying to decide between carving off a week for a river cruise, and a week to hit other places in Germany, Czech, and/or Austria? Thoughts on doing the river cruise or not?
  20. Why is the problem assumed to be Milwee and not Sark?

    Getting old sucks

    My urologist had done some urolifts over the years and found it too ineffective too often. When I researched online there were tons of people with failed urolift procedures. Agree that trying drugs first is the best path. Delay more serious treatments if possible.

    Yes this one is interesting too. It is a bizarre procedure but seems to work pretty well for people who have the right BPH profile.

    BPH is not something to ignore. I have two friends that ignored the problem and ended up in an emergency room because they couldn’t pee, and ended up with a catheter shoved up their Johnson for TWO MONTHS until a surgeon could get them in for surgery. There are multiple treatment options for BPH depending upon how serious the symptoms and how the blockage is occurring. TURP is historically the most common treatment but HoLep laser is a new treatment that is getting very positive reviews for multiple reasons. A good urologist will stick a camera up your Johnson to see how the blockage is occurring. There is a chance you could do what’s called a partial TURP, which doesn’t cut away as much material as a full TURP. There potentially wouldn’t be retrograde e in that scenario.This could be a good option. Less material. Less risk. If a full material removal is required and it were me, I would do HoLep first, Aquablation maybe as a second choice, TURP third. Aquablation also has a low chance of retro e. I wouldn’t look at Rezum or other procedures because those haven’t gotten very good reviews. HoLep, TURP, and Aquablation have very low odds of incontinence or ed.
