  1. This bothers me typically 3 times a night. If I straighten my arms it goes away in about 30 seconds. I sleep on my stomach 95% of the time, 5% on side, 0 on back. Cant stand it. On my stomach I like my arms under my pillow. Side, one arm under. Link here says it's a nerve issue. https://www.regenexx.com/hands-numb-while-sleeping/ Zero back issues at 46 years old and I play golf and constantly lift heavy stuff and do yard work every weekend. Just curious if any of you have had issues and found a remedy.
  2. 350+ report food sickness symptoms after eating at Chipotle in Ohio. aggy running this store or perhaps trying to take people's eyes off the Urban Meyer story? https://abcnews.go.com/US/350-people-report-sick-ohio-chipotle-officials/story?id=56942423
  3. Another sad sack franchise to follow, but at least it's not that boring. They have a new front office, a terrible coach, the surprising Heisman winning first pick QB in the draft, a diva WR with substance abuse issues, a diva rookie WR with substance abuse issues. We have it all!!! Except for wins. Aggies, Sooners, and Bears.... Oh my. And to drive those ratings!!! This dropped today.... right in front of tonight's premiere! Where's Carson Wentz when you need him? If you like train wrecks..... this could be your thing.
  4. This is just a thread to post news on the ongoing changes in not only ESPN & FS1, but also conference networks, as well as regional college sports networks, and/ or professional networks... Currently, there is a fight to keep the BTN on Comcast, within the B1G conference footprint/ PAC talks of negotiations with AT&T/ ACC looking to add markets/ SECN still growing...

  7. My iPhone died on Monday. I was slammed at work both during the day and conference calls at night that I didn't have a chance to head to AT&T until Thursday afternoon to get a replacement. Being without a phone, I almost felt naked. I'm not proud to type that either. But I couldn't text my wife to let her know I was heading to pick up our youngest at preschool. Or find out that I had a meeting added at night for early in the morning... Or listen to podcasts on my commute. Or check email/twitter/surly in the "open times" during the day (like while you're waiting to check out at HEB). But with smart phones, we rely on these so much. How did we get there? How bad is this? And I have a thought experiment -> let's say that you leave for work and left your phone at the house. As you are driving, you realize that you left it at home. How far do you have to be from home to where you WON'T turn back to get the phone?
  8. https://www.cnbc.com/2018/07/26/facebook-on-pace-for-biggest-one-day-loss-in-value-for-any-company-sin.html Facebook on Thursday posted the largest one-day loss in market value by any company in U.S. stock market history after releasing a disastrous quarterly report. The social media giant's market capitalization plummeted by $119 billion to $510 billion as its stock price plummeted by 19 percent. At Wednesday's close, Facebook's market cap had totaled nearly $630 billion, according to FactSet. No company in the history of the U.S. stock market has ever lost $100 billion in market value in just one day, but two came close. https://variety.com/2018/digital/news/facebook-market-cap-120-billion-user-growth-slow-1202886792/ The stock drop, to its lowest levels in nearly three months, wiped out nearly $120 billion in market capitalization for Facebook and dragged down other internet and tech stocks including Twitter and Snap. Facebook’s market cap was $629 billion at market close Wednesday, and ended the day Thursday at around $510 billion. The massive drop in market value represented the biggest single-day decline in history for any publicly held company, according to Thomson Reuters data. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg’s net worth plummeted more than $15 billion with the stock dive, although it’s still around $67 billion, according to Forbes’ real-time net worth tracker. What drove the selloff: Investor concern about Facebook’s growth cooling down. Facebook’s daily active users for the second quarter of 2018 were effectively flat in the U.S. sequentially, and even declined in Europe compared with Q1 — marking the first time the company has seen such a decline in recent quarters. The big story from the earnings report was the forecast that revenue will decelerate in the second half of 2018, Pivotal Research analyst Brian Wieser wrote in a research note. “[W]hile the company is still growing at a fast clip, the days of 30%+ [revenue] growth are numbered,” he wrote.
  9. Last year I enjoyed a pretty good run by switching things up and just finding teams to bet against every week. The absolute dregs of college football, teams that usually didn't even come close to covering point spreads. East Carolina was a shining example of this, especially early in the season. UTEP and I think UCONN were other "winners" for me last year. I know Oregon State is supposed to be dreadful, but I am expecting that most of the value is going to be sucked out of them since everyone is expecting them to be dogshit. Anyone else on your radar? Obviously I shouldn't have to say this, but for any noobs on here, it had to be more than just a bad team. It has to be a team that's much worse than anybody expected, or a team that is just so dysfunctional and terrible that even Vegas doesn't have the right read on the depths of their suckitude.
  10. Too trendy right now? Don't care. Easily one of the top cocktails for me. Equal parts Tanqueray, Campari, and Noilly Prat sweet vermouth is my go-to. Sometimes a dash of orange bitters, courtesy of a friend's recommendation.
  11. Lemme follow Wally's example and start the thread. WR coach turns out to have been beating up women since 2009. Urby had to know. Wrestling team doc molested 100 players and counting for 18 years. Women's swimming coach was a pervert too. Links to follow. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/college/2018/07/20/ohio-state-over-100-allege-sexual-abuse-doctor-richard-strauss/807699002/
  12. If you lived in SoCal at any point in the past 30+ years, you probably read one of his columns. The only restaurant critic to win a Pulitzer prize, he had a writing style all his own and a penchant for celebrating the divey places, taco trucks, and stripmall finds instead of fancy restaurants. L.A. isn't going to be the same, and neither will the food world. http://www.latimes.com/local/obituaries/la-fo-jonathan-gold-obit-20180721-story.html
  13. I have this little pile of bug parts collecting on a window sill. Directly above the pile is the window shade housing and a small hole. I think something is pushing dead bugs or digested/discarted parts through the hole in the window shade housing and they are piling up on the sill below. I keep cleaning them up but they keep coming. This picture has about 3 days worth. I think it might be a spider that’s eating ants or something. We sprayed for ants about two months ago which coincidentally is about when this started happening.
  14. Parties continually evolve, taking on new elements to their coalitions as some either change sides, or become marginalized as their popularity wanes in the general public. One of the most obvious examples in somewhat recent history revolves around the civil rights movement and the Dixiecrats / Blue Dog Democrats. Trump's victory is likely a milestone marking another transition in which "working class whites*" have identified more with the Republicans/conservatives. I believe that a balance between the parties is the natural state of American politics. A movement of voters from the D to R will result in certain Rs becoming disillusioned and realigning to the Ds. That's not saying "everything will just work out on its own," but merely recognizing that the parties adjust to win roughly 50% of the time. Those adjustments can result in significant damage to our country. So, what will happen from here and what do I want to happen? Possibilities: 1. Republicans will draw in "working class whites" from the Dems and, contrary to my beliefs on equalization, current Republicans stay Republicans and the Trumpian Republican Party dominates politics for the forseeable future. 2. Republicans which hate Trump (and the general Trumpian movement of isolationism, xenophobic, irresponsible fiscal policy) start voting Democrat. Eventually the Trumpian model is not sustainable for the GOP, it returns to it's old ways, and we are pretty much reset to ~2000 alignment minus the military adventurism and homophobia. (The number of people holding certain views also change, regardless of who they are aligning with.) In this possibility, the xenophobia element becomes generally marginalized in the political process, which is a good thing. 3. Non-Trump Rs join the Dem permanently, influence politics such that it is less progressive economically and the Republican Party now fully represents the Trumpian model. That means TrumpGOP wins 50% of the elections and the some traditional progressive concepts, like a safety net for the poor, are marginalized. 4. Pretty much all the old coalitions are shattered and reform into something completely different. Option 1 is horrific to me. Option 3 is pretty damn bad. Option 2 is what I am focused on. But, admittedly, I am largely ignoring major changes in viewpoints/perceptions. I certainly hope that something that comes out of this is 1)more people realize there are no easy answers to health care, 2) more people realize there are no easy answers to immigration reform, but respecting human rights is non-negotiable, 3) more people realize that there are no easy answers to the budget, and certainly tax "cuts" don't help, etc... Trump ran on a platform of easy answers which don't actually work. *"working class whites" - for the purposes of this discussion, I am ignoring the fact that this is a misleading euphemism.
  15. First ASG. Gets blown up (it's rumored they're hiding an injury) although did get let down by his defense. Third of an inning. 4 hits, 3 Runs, 1 earned. But even worse, while he's getting blown up on national TV, old tweets of his come out which are..... yea, not going to be fun for him the rest of the season. Apparently this guy complied them and re-posted some on twitter. https://twitter.com/kjen1327 Couple of highlights: His explanation: Young, dumb, full of cum.... rabble, rabble. Twitter having fun.... Social media.... smh.
  16. https://www.npr.org/2018/07/15/629226998/protests-break-out-in-chicago-following-deadly-police-shooting Cops shot a guy yesterday saying, "He had a gun, and was getting ready to use it." Folks protest and throw things. Cops release a short body cam clip suggesting he was indeed reaching for a weapon. Protests in Chicago escalated on Saturday night, becoming a tense clash between demonstrators and police over the fatal shooting of a man on the city's South Side. On Sunday, police released a 30-second video clip from an officer's body-worn an camera showing a black man shot by Chicago police had a gun in a holster at his hip. According to The Associated Press, the man was "running away and reaching toward his waist when he was shot multiple times."

  17. http://www.latimes.com/business/technology/la-fi-tn-twitter-fake-accounts-20180709-story.html Twitter Inc.'s stock sank Monday after a news report said the company suspended more than 70 million accounts in May and June — a cleanup of the platform that may affect user growth. That's gonna leave a mark. The company estimates that roughly 5% of its active users are fake or involved in spam, but outside researchers have said the number is much higher. That's gonna leave a scar.
  18. Mine is Mile Davis Kind of Blue. I know that album like I know myself. I have it in multiple versions in many forms - From SACD to MFSL LP to cassette and of course FLAC and DSD for portability. When I want to audition a system or new component, that's what I fire up. As a dynamic recording, there are parts that will expose lesser quality playback devices easily enough, though not as easily as other recordings. I'm just really familiar with it, so I know what to expect and it sticks out like a sore thumb when it's not there or otherwise altered. What are your favorite recordings for testing out gear or environments?
  19. Let's do. I was a Beefeater Gibson fan, but am now enamored with Citadel and, well Noilly Prat just because that's what I have on hand. Let's talk about vermouth and what it adds. I know, I know...just wave the bottle over the glass. Let's talk "dirty" or not. What brand of olive and cocktail onion. I like shaken. Evidently I like the "bruising" because I like those tiny shards of ice. Tanquerey is just too antiseptic for me. Tell me what your favorites are and why.
  20. Scott Pruitt is a POS but the big grifters are the super shady billionaires in the cabinet. Wilbur Ross is the shadiest of them all and that’s saying something compared to Betsy DeVos.
