I'd like to see Ebey and Clingan match up.

So, we didn’t really discuss Fargo. Absolute classic. As is Lebowski. I remember the reactions to Lebowski being decidedly mixed when it was first released. I remember seeing it in the theater opening weekend, and walking out thinking it was pretty good, but not a classic like Fargo. I think its on...

Gonzaga got about as far as expected. My kid was bummed out, but considering that 6 weeks ago there was serious talk about them not even making the tournament, the Sweet 16 is a good result.

Purdue looks really good, but I still wonder what will happen if they get in a close game down the stretch.

That superstitious LSU fan is an asshole...the dude just wants to eat some popcorn!

I've bought a webcam to use with my work laptop...and it works great in Zoom, but it won't work in Teams. Any ideas? That's weird. Is this a Mac? Is it possible that you haven't granted Teams the rights to access the camera? No...Dell Laptop. And I did these steps: Open System Settings on your devi...

Just had one of those with lunch. They're good...and not so crazy big like the Honeycrisps seem to be lately.

I had the same thought when he pulled that spin move on the baseline and left the UNC defender standing there like a post.

Stuffed sopapillas are god's gift to us mere humans. You're lucky you made the Blake's post because normally I would not tolerate this sacrilege. Is this a safe space?

Live by the three, die by the missed three.

And it looks to me like UConn is just gonna win every game by 20 again. Don't see anyone left being able to beat them.

I need to check out Pericio’s. I know have a strong craving for a sopapilla... My kids wouldn't try them (I didn't really push them either.) What? My kids LOVED sopapillas when they were younger. They would always ask my mom to make them when we'd visit...and then they'd eat so many they didn't wan...

zoom link? Oh man, I would LOVE to watch this. Hah...it was not that exciting. Just my manager and the HR guy, going through stuff that he already knew about mostly. He had already talked with the guys manager, and a few other people as well. And my manager totally backed me up, and had a few incid...

I also remember how after he got primaried, and beaten, in 2006 by Ned Lamont (current CT gov), he had a temper tantrum about the voters taking "his seat" and ran as an independent, focusing on getting Republican votes and winning.

Finally finished "Masters of the Air". I thought it was really good, and it was great to see what happened to those guys post-war. Did Croz ever mention to his wife about his thing with the Subaltern? Or did he wait to write his memoir until she died? And Rosie's story was wild...ending u...

The Art Museum was cool...and free.

And the Anheuser-Busch Brewery tour made me damn proud to be a beer drinking American.

That's all I got...its been a long time since I was in St Louis.

3 million pounds of force. The boat is like a 1000 foot skyscraper turned on its side. There is one thing that can probably stop that with certainty and with minimal yielding. It's called land.

Good luck, DiS! Yeah, my dad also loves it when somebody, especially a younger relative, asks him for advice. Nothing he likes better than that.

I sent a teams message to my manager, and my senior level manager this message, saying that after long consideration (*didn't mention I'd asked for advice here) over the weekend, I thought this needed to be escalated to HR.

Mutherfucking free throws. Extra annoying to lose that way. Go Coogs or Aggies. Whatever.

So uh…Why is there a half hour layover between the first and second games today? I hate the way they always schedule games on the first Saturday and Sunday. I really don't understand the way they stagger them such that it's a slow start, a gap, and then a bunch of games all overlapping. Or why was ...

Thanks for all the good feedback on my situation. I've decided I'm going to tell my boss on Monday that we need to escalate the situation to HR and get them involved. This has gotta stop.

I know it shouldn't, but the "Lets go SportsBar" from the currently running BW3 makes me chuckle every time.

I've watched just about every Gonzaga game this year...they are NOT this good.

I think I need this one explained to me … 100 miles in 60 hours is (not accounting for sleep) well below walking pace. It isn't a regular road or trail run.

Serious question: At what point does it become appropriate to report someone to HR about creating a toxic workplace? I'm asking because of that one co-worker that I've been dealing with for months. He's gotten so bad that absolutely no one wants to work with him. He's pissed off all of the CX people...
