Liking/following new music. A lot of people I know think good music stopped being made whatever year they graduated high school or college.

2 things can be true:

1) killing people is bad; killing innocent people is shameful/a war crime.

2) from a technology standpoint it is pretty amazing.

When I first heard the story for some strange reason it reminded me of this:

Dude. Just retire.

So sorry for your loss

I can't think of a legit reason for this...any idea why?

Northwestern's temporary stadium is nicer than their old one. The lake view is a nice touch. For now. November will probably suck.

Sorry to hear these things Syb, SC and BFJ.

All four of my grandparents independently told me when I was around 18 years old that the worst part about aging wasn't getting old yourself...it's losing the people around you (they put it much more crudely). That has always stuck with me.

I don't think Fernando Cruz is going to make it this year...

Seconding (thirding?) the hop tea. It’s what I drink when I want beer but don’t want beer. Whole Foods carries a few of the Hoplark core flavors but if you order off their website they have a ton of options.

Most of the time those things work out...it just always takes a lot longer than we hope.

Jack Russell (Great White singer, not dog); just a month after announcing retirement because of Lewy Body Dementia.

I actually liked their album Hooked (the one after Once Bitten Twice Shy)...takes me back to high school.

That one is sad...I like those cookies.

Leichtenstein (or however you spell it)?

I enjoy Birmingham if you want to hit that up on the way. Downtown is meh but Sloss Furnace was an interesting (to me) blast furnace that has been turned into a museum/tour. If you're into breweries go to Cahaba for environment and TrimTab for flavor (both taste of the beer and local hangout spot).

In my defense we did have three at one time in a city of less that 100,000 people

GoodKarma

A literal majority of people I know have gotten COVID while traveling this summer...especially those that went to Europe. My wife and I had it a few weeks ago...my only guesses as to where I got it are either my local kickboxing place or an outdoor Billy Joel concert.

My wife and I were just talking about getting back to NYC since it has been a while...I'm in

They only take it personally if you do it in front of them

That's not much of a tour

GoodKarma

On second thought...clarification might be needed...is the boat "open-air"...e.g. no sides with windows?

I'm not sure it changes my answer...but I could see if it was a totally enclosed boat being the same as an airplane.

Ditto what Citgo said

* Went to a Hooters across the river from Cincinnati the year MI won the first of its two national titles in Hockey in the 90s. I was actually working that Frozen Four. Miami was the host school and had to provide all the media relations/sports information staff for the games. I can't for the life ...

How do you guys count being in a state? Because for me, it's either I spent a night there, or visited a major attraction. This is basically my rule...I define it as "stopping and doing something". For example, my wife gets to count Nebraska because we stopped outside of Omaha for lunch an...

As a few of you might have seen on the Facebook I was traveling last week to the popular destinations of Northern Minnesota, Winnipeg and the coup de grace North Dakota (Grand Forks, Fargo & Jamestown). Reason being both my wife and I needed North Dakota to have officially been to all 50 states....

It was never supposed to be a reset…just a standalone property. I think of it more as a palate cleanser than anything else.

It's insane money for unproven guys. Burrow has at least earned his with two AFC title games and a Super Bowl appearance. No playoff wins for Herbert or Tua. One each for Lawrence and Love.

The problem, as has been pointed out repeatedly, is that the GOP has not been operating on good faith for over 25 years now. I mean, you could go back to the race-baiting and dog whistles under Reagan and maybe even as far back as Nixon to try and figure out when it all started to sour over there. ...

My condolences Dave

Underrated great airport is Minneapolis (Delta terminal - although probably not so much last week and this week). Updated, looks nice, great retail/dining/drinking spots. Only issue is potential long walks but all large airports have that issue.

More on The Bear with a question for the group: Sydney is my least favorite character. She basically begs to be part of whatever Carmy does in season 1 then has spent the rest of time whining and complaining about everything. I'm curious what others think about the character. I thought the first epi...

No worries...I did not intend to come across as offended...just trying to explain my experience.

How is a pip a genuine tool to get better? That tool is immediate and repeated correction and guidance. Then honest in person oral criticism with suggested solutions and an offer to assist. Twice. By the time you get to hr approved written discipline that specifically mentions termination as the ne...

I am curious though...does ANYONE survive being put on a PIP? Or is that just a corporate CYA for eventually firing someone? I was put on one in 2020 and survived. I work in software implementation and my time gets billed to customers (like an attorney). I was put on it because I was not billing en...

Welp...my daughter got fired from Wayfair this morning. Knew it was coming as soon as they put her on a PIP. I told her that this was on them, not on her, and that for her next gig she needs to make sure she has a) a manager that's local, and b) a manager that is willing to be a mentor to her. I to...

I don’t think we have an auto repair thread, so I’ll post here. Anyone ever try to pull a dent out of their car? My son’s accident left a dent in the passenger door, maybe 14 inches across, 8 inches high. I bought a cheap dent pulling thing and going to give it a go. Mine doesn’t mention heating in...
