That's really dumb. They make us take what is basically the same 3 or so training courses every year. I don't need to read the text or watch the videos. One is on cybersecurity. I used to work for a cybersecurity firm. I don't need to keep reading the same shit over and over. If they made me do tha...

He's gonna sell his shares and convert those proceeds to cash by Monday? I would assume this would make it easier to get the bond? I am skeptical that IPO is going to go as well as they are saying. I just have to think that going public with the knowledge that someone is immediately going to try to...

"Here's a Dumb One Pt. 37" doesn't have the same ring. I also assigned my mom to look for Duke's because the website said they sometimes ship to NY (but not NJ) and we've both long abandoned that. I should ask later and feign upset she forgot. It was just delievered. Is it sourced from Sa...

And I fucking hate you both.

Hey, Twitter kinda sucks today. Anyone else?

Yeah I saw that. Douche move. I hope the players push back.

"Jackson just taking what the D gives" is a thing that was just said.

My niece is on the Morehead State dance team so she got to travel to Omaha. Basically they were going to any site except Spokane.

"X gonna give his family longstanding financial support from the beyond" just doesn't have the same ring.

Yuck...
Depends if there care to investigate it or not.

Someone's going to. MLB probably ought to make sure it's them.

I'm in. Only bracket I've filled out so integrity-wise, it's ironclad.

Hey if any of you apple fanbois like me have a watch and an iphone AND you aren't getting notifications on your phone, it's almost 100% likely that it's the watch that's stealing them and just showing banners but no sounds. Finally figured out an issue where I would never get any notifications at ni...

I think there was a 5th one that stole a bid, too.

They use surge prices whenever a game is within 2 points.

This Colorado Boise state game is not good basketball. Almost seven minutes without a basket for anyone.

Didn't get the full experience.

Didn’t love it. I think the part that gets me is everyone talks about how impossible it is to film. But just make it basically black and white. Use tight shots. And show a bunch of cgi sand.

Well, it's still the motto, but it never was a mission statement worth a damn.

Well, she didn't get better I don't think.

Moved to take care of his mother.

(That sounded ominous. He moved to be the primary caregiver for his mother.)

Is it bad when you are asked to lead up a project a few weeks back, you were doing it, then in the course of doing it, you hear from a third party that the person that used to do this job is probably coming back? It seems bad.

Another reminder to check out Disgraceland if you haven't. Fun podcast about rock and roll (well, pretty much any type of music) debauchery. I just learned a lot about Peter Tosh that I didn't know.

I was at my arraignment for punching Mister D in the tooth.

Why does the last leg of the parlay always screw you over? That's actually not a bad thing. If the first leg had screwed you over, you would have bet the last leg again and lost it twice. Nah, that's not how I bet. I don't chase it. Shoot it was a 10 bet to win 120 ish. I don't go chasing hedges on...

Oh are we allowed to talk about that?

I’m in the new basketball arena across from football stadium.

No joke, get a broker. They get paid by the insurance companies, but can lay out all your options very easily.

As for me and feeling old, I am at a recruiting event at Murray State and these are toddlers!

its a dumb rule. But it comes in handy before your kids can drive when they are also supernatural fans.

And ScarJo looks so hot as Britt. IMHO, she looks hotter as herself. Personally, I’d think ScarJo would look hot as Kenny Britt. But I’ve always had a thing for her. What was that movie where she fucks that guy in the rainfall? Suck a great scene. I think that's in the director's cut of Infinity War.

Would love to see the plans for the lakefront build. 20% more park space after building a new stadium. Assume that includes the tear down of the current Soldier Field. They are going to build it on top of Soldier Field and turn Soldier Field into a housing project Hmm... does that mean that people ...

Kirk Cousins obviously ain't in no GOAT debate from a playing perspective, but he might be the GOAT QB in terms of earnings above expectation. Sam Bradford has entered the chat. Bradford though made more than half his earnings off the old rookie scale deal. Cousins will have made more than 300 mill...

Probably from a time when we didn't have smart phones to know the time no matter when. Or maybe to do with timing of baking/cooking without an actual timer? I don't know, why are you asking me?
