  1. I can visualize this cohort sitting amongst a sea of carts, snot nosed kids, grumpy retirees, and various bulk refrigerated/frozen goods warming up and a long hot car ride away from the fridge.

    Getting old sucks

    Doesn't sound so bad to me!

    Getting old sucks

    It's been my experience even the manliest of men who have had shingles get a little animated talking about the experience. One of my father's friends is a commercial fisherman, he famously lost some fingers working the wench on a haul siene, he just put the fingers in the fish box and kept going till his guys dragged him to the hospital. He doesn't talk about that, but will tell you about his bout of shingles!

    yeah but universally better than the shingles. csb: The nurse who was gave me the shot told me the symptoms would be rough, but then she shared that for her 50th B-day she was getting the shingles vax. Evidently she had worked in a clinic and her experience with pain management in shingles patients meant she was going to ANYTHING to avoid getting them, including spending her birthday feeling a bit low.
  6. I was thinking about that too. I'm not sure if it was explicit in the movie, but the main character slept with a High school girl who may have been under 18... That's rape. But I don't remember if the movie just said she was in high school or a minor.
  7. Good to hear, my daughter's just passed the 60k mark... fingers crossed.
  8. I bought low mileage off lease CRVs for my teens when they turned 16. My son got an '09 and my daughter got a '16. I helped each one change out the stereo to a Carplay unit with navigation and upgrade the speakers etc. Taught them how to change the oil, windshield wipers, air filters, and brake pads (so they knew their way around the car a little bit) I can tell you the quality fall off from my son's 09 to the '16 is amazing. Just one example, the tabs that hold the door panels to the doors changed from 5 metal tabs with metal screws to 3 glued in plastic ones. The clips that hold interior panels have fewer clips or connection points. I get that you can simplify manufacturing and make improvements to something that's over built, but everything about his 09 feels much better built.
  9. Those are valid points. CSB: It just so happens that in high school a friend and I both decided to go see a movie Bill & Ted's on a random Thursday night. We mentioned it to a few folks and told them to meet us there. Everyone we talked to was like "sure I think I can make it, mind if I invite so and so?" yeah, no problem, the more the merrier. Meet in the parking lot at 8. When we pulled up it seemed like the whole school was hanging out in the theatre parking lot like some sort of shitty tailgate. The theatre was PACKED and that weird random movie turned out to be funny as shit. Just some lightning in a bottle thing. So it's absolutely a high school movie to me.
  10. Well FSU is cheatin' whether they are tryin or not. Cheatin' also includes rapen'
  11. Like clock work "Sources: NCAA levies significant penalties on Florida State for NIL recruiting violations" https://sports.yahoo.com/sources-ncaa-to-levy-significant-penalties-on-florida-state-for-nil-recruiting-violations-002044221.html?
  12. how on earth did Georgia lose to this Bama team?
  13. Election Influence campaigns Keyboard Patriots saving 'merica by repeating what they read on FB
  14. I agree it could be a limiting factor, but not for me. Sous vide steaks to a perfect consistent internal temp and then just sear the outside or finish them quickly on a ripping hot grill. No need to temp steaks at all.
  15. I honestly can't figure out the OP's position. Do they support freedom of speech? Are they asking for a safe space? Is the market place of ideas bad now? Do they feel like culture war was only created by liberals? OP just seems lost in the sauce, and hasn't realized how far away from mainstream they've drifted. Or perhaps this is a partisan play to moderate and stifle opposition. IDK but my experience has been when I run into culture war issues outside of CR, they tend to be sneaky wink wink little remarks, which I just ignore. Most folks have moderated themselves pretty well or they get moderated quickly, IDK how busy the mods are with all this.
  16. pffft No https://www.winsipedia.com/florida-state/vs/florida 28-37-2 vs UF
  17. Like my dear old dad always says "If you're going to be stupid, you got to be tough" Only because the ACC stopped it from happening this year! The gift that keeps on giving.
