    Can also set your iPhone up so that smashing the power button 5 times also does this as well FYI

    That Gold Helmet with white script CATS on it is gaudy as hell and I love it

    The list of top 25 teams playing FCS opponents from above has a few P4 schools playing in state FCS opponents and know that is pretty common in the south, big SEC/ACC school in the state gets roped into playing in-state FCS to cut them a check to keep their athletic department solvent. Maybe if these states just had the P4 schools share their massive wealth in other ways that don't involve tossing athletes from an FCS school out in front of a bus to keep their program afloat? Communism and nonsense I know but that would be a means to an end of the FCS games if you are going to go with player safety as the main reason against.

    All y'all who think SEC and B1G should just stop scheduling any "lesser" schools and only play each other 12 times need to just go watch the NFL because that's pretty much what you will be getting. Part of the charm of college football is the vast differences in all of the schools traditions and resources that still play each other and that on occasion, the little guy catches a school with "bluer blood" than them sleeping and David beats Goliath. Yall fools have fun watching all prestige worldwide aka NFL Lite, I'll just have to settle for whatever remains of what college football used to be I guess.

    1. Well off? Yes. Loaded? Not quite. 2. Not anywhere near Surly 1% so think asking for a prenup would go something like this:

    Glad I was able to convince at least 2 people to get out of the potential surge zone, but it was getting fairly exhausting thinking about it and how to convince them what they were doing was potentially very dangerous. Was getting to the point where I felt like I did what I could and if they didn't listen, they were just gonna have to FAFO and hopefully it was just a highly unpleasant experience and not a deadly one... The morons on social media right now insisting that the "gubmint is doing all this and making the storms worse/could make them go away but hey wont" has really got me at wits end...like is this how dumb we have gotten as a society??

    Have friends in Bradenton as well who sent just about the same thing, they moved further inland as well as their house in Bradenton is not one I would want to hunker down in any sort of storm... think they will be lucky if it still has a roof when they come back.

    Better late than never but finally convinced the future in-laws to gtfo of their house that's in Sarasota Evacuation Zone C and move a bit inland to family house that's outside the surge hazard area at least, still gonna suck ass with all the wind but might at least have kept them from getting surged/flooded out. Boomers are stubborn as hell...

    Costas is such a whiny little bitch Fun series so far though, just gotta watch it on mute

    Very serious situation but doesn’t mean we still can’t have a little gallows humor: will never forget as long as I live the time I was sitting in my apartment in west Houston by the Addicks Reservoir during Harvey and looked up on TV and realized Cantore was across the street helping get people out of an apartment in a rubber raft…

    Inflation and development in hurricane prone areas is a bitch
  16. Evil Bill Obrien
    Yes and every time I'm in that area (likely the poorest person within miles) St Aramands, Siesta Key, Longboat Key, Anna Maria Island, etc I'm amazed at how they just built a ton of houses on the ground, no stilts or elevation or nothing, on a low-lying barrier islands... I guess it makes sense when they haven't had a major Hurricane since 1921 but still. Shits fucked

    Maybe filters out some of them, but didn't help for the blue alert last week...

    Storm just keeps on revving up, not great:

    Was just about to post that I haven't actually been to a game at the Trop, but have been to that area of St Pete nearby many times including Bodega and Green Bench and really hope nothing too terrible happens to them. But yeah from the outside the Trop looks like it might fall down in a stiff breeze let alone a strong hurricane...

    Getting some very strong Katrina Superdome and post Katrina Astrodome vibes, guess at least it's meant for National Guard and Line workers and not refugees:

    Getting very close to getting rid of that app every time I see people talking about that...my god we are fucked as a society when people believe that shit...

    Managed to bike over to the Amtrak station to see 4014 yesterday early right at 9 and place was already mobbed, glad I was on a bike… kinda neat to see all the original name plates and such up close, plus the plaque they got honoring the people who preserved the locomotive well enough for it to be refurbished is very cool.

    Got family and friends in Tarpon Springs, Bradenton and Sarasota so not too thrilled reading into this. Have had lots of close misses or glancing blows from Hurricane recently but don't think anyone living in that area has ever been through a direct hit from a major hurricane there.
