  1. Christopher Cross is stuck between the virus and New York City, and feels the worst that he can be
  2. Adam Schlesinger just passed
  3. Grains have bounced a little tonight. Will be interesting to see if they and livestock separate a bit especially with people going apeshit on meat cases the last few days.
  4. I’d love another 90 minutes of Frank Beard just telling stories, the rant about shooting heroin because it was cost effective and he didn’t have Clapton money, and the MTV discovery phone chain story killed me
  5. I’ve told my 25 year old coworker if he doesn’t work from home after returning from Miami tomorrow, I’m going shoot him with .410 riot rounds
  6. I’m glad my Grandma has the attitude that at age 90 that she isn’t going hear anything new on Sunday at this point and will gladly stay home.
  7. So will my use of nose based allergy drugs that dry out the nasal passages make me get this slower or faster?
  8. I want Trump to go golfing this weekend, because it will keep him occupied and also for B roll footage for the inevitable documentaries
  9. Isn't the most logical thing to do now is just to go on TV and say we've fucked this up so far, but from here on out there's a blank check for public health, and we're going to do whatever it takes to get ahead of it. If we need to roll out Army field hospitals, we will do it., need to deploy the Corps and CB's to build stuff, we'll do it, etc.
  10. They're going to play the Nebraska Boys State Basketball tournament with no fans after the 5th instate case played in the Girls Tournament last week.
  11. They coronaned the Cheeto man at Cpac last week
  12. Well with allergy season coming quick, we may not be able to tell the difference if it doesn’t. Hopefully it doesn’t run through the VFW, because I don’t think those guys are the best candidates for doing we with it if it is an outbreak
  13. https://www.omaha.com/livewellnebraska/health/fremont-schools-midland-university-closing-temporarily-because-of-coronavirus-scare/article_888d66b9-adb1-55ec-ba33-ef0961814ae7.html The Omaha case participated in a basketball tournament in a local town of about 25k, then hit the VFW, and maybe a nursing home. One of the local high schools then made the state girls basketball finals, playing in three arenas in town, including where Nebraska plays although the home schedule is at least over
  14. I’m betting this is one of the cases where a kid never knows when to shut the fuck up, and the reason he’s that way is because of his parents
  15. I would of figured that GE would have beaten him to the grave given how things are going for them.
  16. As someone who attended a regionally well regarded Private Liberal Arts school in the early 2000's, I'll contribute a few observations. All the theater majors I knew all do pretty well for themselves excepting the ones with crippling substance abuse problems, with all them making a living with their technical skills, not acting. E.g one runs lights for major tours, another coordinates production things at Disney etc, another builds specialty props for movies and whatnot, but the degree gave them networking and experience. Secondly while my school was expensive for the Midwest on paper, the merit scholarships made it the same as going to the instate flagship. I went that way because I could easily double major in Poli Sci, and Religious studies with a double minor in history and philosophy and be done in 4 years while doing a bunch of other stuff, and it was a wet campus. The bulk of my student debt was taking a year of law school to figure out I sure as fuck didn't want to be a lawyer. I pivoted to getting a Master's in Ag Econ that was fully funded, and a commodity broker/cattle producer. Now the same school charges a significant premium to the flagship, even with significant merit aid, and they have added a bunch of sports and other activities along with administrators that cost a lot more than just letting students entertain themselves by being a wet campus and having the basic extra-curriculars. Both ways the less achieving kids from better off families pay most of the freight. In my experience, the real student loan train wrecks come from the people that pursued graduate degrees that weren't funded and didn't finish. While trades are important, and can certainly provide a great living, we also undersell that many of them are hard as hell on your body, and that much of the upside is in running your own business in the said trade, which is distinctly not for everybody in skill, temperament, risk, and hours. In conclusion, if the government and society is happy to soak up risk for many big business and set them up for easy success, maybe doing the same for citizens as they come of age might yield dividends as well.
  17. I suppose it's a win for Sparty if he wasn't fucking anyone or anything he wasn't supposed to.
  18. Is this a case where you can do more than set a headstone?
  19. Some folks just can't resist clinging on to pointless measures of control in order for themselves to feel something since they've long since became dead inside.
  20. I guess since it sounds like Gordon will be back, you’re right
  21. In general, I’d just assume more Royals quit.
  22. Well, he’s willingly involving himself with Baylor so being an idiot is a pretty safe bet
  23. My fuck up cousins, that joined the Marines promptly became fuck up Marines, were invited to return to civilian life where they continued to be fuck ups. They love their guns and Trump though, just not showing up to work, or if they do keeping their mouth shut.
  24. We’re going to see pictures of American Aircrews drug through the streets of Tehran, aren’t we?
