Re: Car buying
Been looking at Autotrader and Carmax, and occasionally Carvana (seems unlikely I'd use it though). Am I missing any other big listing sites? A friend of mine bought a used Honda HR-V through Carvana, and he said he'd do it again in a heartbeat. But YMMV. Did he get it from the vending machine wher...

Re: Umbras and Penumbras - The Sun is Going Away
That was fucking amazing. Stayed clear enough here in Cleveland to see the whole thing. I’ve always been an astronomy nerd, and I never thought I’d ever see a total eclipse. But to finally see it - the whole solar corona, the diamond ring - was even better than I expected. Kinda feel like I achieved...

Re: Random Thoughts About Thoughts Random
I think I mentioned I’m going to Cleveland for the eclipse, which is in the 100% zone. I’ve been monitoring the weather, and it went from rain in the am to partly cloudy in the am. Hopefully it’ll be clear in the mid-afternoon. If you look at the historical weather records for April 8 in Cleveland,...

The pigeon might be too much for you at first but once the foam rolling and other stretches start to open things up, you should try doing it. Both of the stretches I mentioned have been a great help for loosing ...

I'd recommend going to a chiropractor and see if they have a spinal decompression machine. If they do and it helps, then you might consider getting an inversion table and using that at home.

If you like tiki bars, there’s an excellent one in Cuyahoga Falls called Tiki Underground. I’d be more than happy to meet you there and share a cocktail or two. And the brewery near it (HiHo) is pretty good, too.

Rutgers (I'm currently taking a three-week-long seminar from Rutgers, and they've mentioned this fact multiple times.)

Well, the guy won the U.S. Amateur last year, so it’s not like he’s a schmuck who just got super lucky. Both Tiger and Jack have claimed they view their U.S. Amateur titles as being on par with winning a major. So I don’t think you can make any claims that this is due to watering down of the PGA Tou...
