  1. pppppfffft Sure Auerbach is the clown.
  2. 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
  3. 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!"
  4. 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
  5. That's incorrect. Florida does not have a pulse.
  6. 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?
  7. See post above, I didn't have one either.
  8. 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.
  9. Were I grew up (Southern VA) a sub was cold and grinder was hot.... Grinders>subs.
  10. Kissing Dotard's "Ring"...... rrrrrgggggg I can't get this image out of my head.
  11. 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!
  12. 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.
  13. 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!
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. Did I just stumble into the food war crimes thread? I'll be damned, grinder is a new england term! Grew up eating Zero's (in the south)
  17. McD's was so screwed with the USSR pulled out
  18. another one.. Jan. 6 rioter who smashed Capitol window with tomahawk ax sentenced to 7 years Ryan J. Reilly Sat, October 7, 2023 at 6:43 PM EDT·3 min read WASHINGTON — A Donald Trump supporter who smashed a window at the Capitol with a tomahawk ax and threw projectiles at officers during the most brutal battle of the Capitol riot was sentenced to seven years in federal prison Friday. Shane Jenkins — who refers to himself as "Skullet" because of his shaved head and mullet — was found guilty of nine criminal counts in March, including felony civil disorder; obstruction of an official proceeding; assaulting, resisting or impeding an officer using a dangerous weapon; and destruction of government property. The federal government had requested more than 19 years in federal prison, which would have been one of the longest sentences given in any Jan. 6 case. The longest sentence so far has gone to Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the Proud Boys, who was sentenced to 22 years in federal prison last month after he was convicted of seditious conspiracy in May. Jenkins' attorney called the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, "one of the saddest episodes in American history" and said there "remain many grifters out there who remain free to continue propagating the 'great lie' that Trump won the election, Donald Trump being among the most prominent." The government called Jenkins' conduct "egregious" and said he "planned for violent insurrection long before his arrival" in Washington. His "lack of remorse is extraordinary," and he "thinks that political violence is acceptable," Assistant U.S. Attorney David Perri argued at the sentencing hearing Friday. "What happens if his preferred candidate gets convicted of something?" Perri asked, referring to the four criminal cases against former President Donald Trump, including one unfolding in the federal courthouse in Washington where Jenkins was sentenced. "How would he react?" Perri encouraged the judge not to "roll the dice with this country's democratic future." Attorney Dennis Boyle said at the hearing that Trump promoted "a legal fiction" that Vice President Mike Pence could overturn the election results and that people like Jenkins were "particularly susceptible" to his lies and propaganda. Before his sentencing, Jenkins talked about his troubled childhood and said his life began to come apart when he learned he was adopted. He said he tried to destroy himself with drugs and alcohol after he killed his stepfather in a gunfight when he was 20 years old. (Jenkins said he shot his stepfather in self-defense, and he was not charged.) The Justice Department also said Jenkins took part in a jail attack on Jan. 6 defendant Taylor Taranto — who was arrested outside former President Barack Obama's home — on July 10, when a dozen inmates allegedly entered the television room of their pod and assaulted Taranto "because Taranto had been saying derogatory things about Ashli Babitt and her mother." Babbitt, whose last name the Justice Department misspelled in its filing, was shot and killed by a police officer at the Capitol riot. Taranto was ordered held in pretrial detention. In the 33 months since the Capitol attack, more than 1,100 participants have been arrested, and about 660 have been sentenced, including nearly 400 who have received sentences of incarceration.
