  1. It's gonna suck, but I think we win at least one more. I think the bad news if you're hoping to poach recruits is that Florida is playing freshman everywhere. While the W/Ls won't be awesome, Billy has proven he puts the best players out and PT is available... along with the $$$
  2. I had no idea that Scotland had its own version of the Pound. I used an atm in the Hebrides and when I pulled the cash from the machine I thought that I had purchased some tourist bucks or the like. Stepped back to make sure I was at a bank, yup. Weird. Good idea, but I have rarely have more than $20 in foreign currency at the end of a trip, but If I ever have more I'm using your tip. Love the weird coins, odd colored and sized bills. When I get back to the house I unpack and place all the loose change and bills in a pile on a shelf. If I'm going to a country I've been to before, I dig through the pile before I leave and have some local currency when I land. It's kinda fun digging through the pile and remembering past trips and thinking about when you'll go next. Hell you already have some cash laying around, can't let that go to waste. Turkish Lyra, Greek Drachmae ... RIP
  3. I'll tell you this much, if you're dealing with aussies and they say "no rules, mate!" It's not a catchy Outback jingle, that mean watch your six, because they are about to try to fuck you over with a stupid little smile on their faces.
  4. Fair enough, I've stopped caring about what anyone thinks about what I like and I also return the favor. I enjoy Black Keys a lot. Whether or not they are technically proficient doesn't matter to me as long as it sounds good. If they are the new Nickelback, so be it. I was surprised to see @G650 reference that it's well know that they ripped off Jack White, I think their music sounds nothing alike. Maybe it was egregious, I don't know shit about music theory, structure, etc. But it you played a White Strips/ Raconteurs/ Dead Weather song or a Black Keys song I could easily discern the difference. White has some bangers, but if I could only ever hear one or the other again, I would choose Black keys every time.
  5. pppppfffft Sure Auerbach is the clown.
  6. There was beef from White against the Black Keys... It seems so bizarre to me that he thought they were ripping him off. tl/dr White seems like an asshole
  7. I do, but your post still made me laugh. I was trying to use numbers to clarify, but out of habit, put "top" in my post where I was deliberately trying to avoid directional metrics. When you replied, I got your point, but it still felt like you were fucking with me for including "top". My exact thought was "well played!"
  8. I'm thinking we are talking past each other. I took your comment to mean he should be in the 100s or 200s I'm thinking more like top 50
  9. That's incorrect. Florida does not have a pulse.
  10. Army vs. Navy Family in Navy Alabama vs. Auburn They're not Bama Michigan vs. Ohio State No Jim H sleep overs USC vs. Notre Dame Cheerleaders Florida vs. Georgia Miami vs. Florida State sigh... Miami is just the worst, yes even worse than FSU Cal vs. Stanford The Band! Oregon vs. Washington Not Barbie dress up football Arkansas vs. Texas A&M Not ATM Mississippi State vs. Ole Miss Ole miss could have had Admiral Akbar... but they settled bears?
  11. See post above, I didn't have one either.
  12. Let me guess... I remember getting a Ross BMX for xmas and a can of turtle wax in my stocking. Then had to spend hours waxing that steel POS so that it wouldn't rust out in year one. Got a job as a paper boy and bought a KOS Kruiser. Faster than a beach cruiser and could race it on saturdays.
  13. Were I grew up (Southern VA) a sub was cold and grinder was hot.... Grinders>subs.
  14. Kissing Dotard's "Ring"...... rrrrrgggggg I can't get this image out of my head.
  15. Listen, if it was sonic blue or nitro finish it would be done. For all the bike talk, Diamondback Harry Larry > Sissy bars and a banana seat Fight me!
  16. Agreed. But I think that's the bare assed minimum we should expect. For profit medicine is ghoulish, and most people find out once it's too late.
  17. This ^ Not this ^ This is horse shit. It's 1am on a friday night and your loved is writhing in pain one need emergency surgery. What are you going to do? Fire up the ole internet to look for bargains? You know make a few calls. Fuck that!
  18. One other piece to advice directly from the nice lady at UHC. Never pay the deductible or anything if you can help it at the hospital. Make them bill the insurance and wait till all the charges come through. (you won't know how many there will be so wait a bit) I paid the deductible to the hospital ($2000) when they asked for it prior to surgery. But the anesthesiologist was a smart cookie and had his office file a claim at @1am on a Friday night presumably minutes after my son's surgery. So he was entitled to the deductible, not the hospital. So I had to go back to the hospital and collect the $2000 that was paid to them "in error". So that's just as fun as you might imagine.
  19. I had this happen to me. Call BCBS and tell them what's happening, they'll say the rate is too high and they only cover X, ambulance company will say they don't have a contract so tough. Make them work it out. In my case, the ambulance was called by the hospital to transport my son to a different hospital. (I did not call or make the arrangements) The ambulance was from the city fire dept. When the bill came it was $1000+ and I was already dealing with UHC as there were a lot of other bills. UHC said they would only pay $350 of the $1000 and the 3rd party billing company for the fire department (an outfit out of Arizona) basically stone walled me. I went back to UHC, told them it was an emergency (as determined by their preferred hospital) and they needed to cover it and that it wasn't my problem that their hospital called an ambulance that they didn't have a contract with and they needed to negotiate it now, not me. And I think that was a very defensible position to take. long story short... they got it down to $350-ish and I payed it. Six months later I got a check from the city for the cost of the ambulance ride. Unexpected, but I was wondering why may taxes get to pay for a robust fire department that they were billing me to use! TL/DR US healthcare is massively broken in concept and practice. At some point in time you will face this system and it will piss you off.
