Be well guys.

This is the best post in this thread.

Anyone been through an airport lately? Pretty empty?

Looks like Southwest cancelled/suspended its very convenient direct routes between Tucson and San Diego.

Hey man Korn actually gets better with age. I didn't like them back then but now they are kinda nice to listen to. The rest of the nu metal I never listen to really, I'm more of a djent/death metal/prog metal kinda guy. Korn is the patron saint of Nu-Metal. Because they were years ahead of their ti...

As someone who works in mental health I have definitely seen this effect my patients. As for my own mental health I have been taking the kids for walks and hikes in my neighborhood. I have also started reading books for fun again. Something I had stopped doing for a long time. I also notice that my...

Among the many entertainingly awful consistencies of 2000s crime dramas is that whenever the cops storm a drug den or midnight bar all the fugitive dealers, pimps, meth cooks, and tattooed biker outlaws are defiantly blasting really shitty Nu Metal. Remember for about a four year period (1997 - 2001...

Anyone keep a journal? Mine's more of a calendar log, matter of factly accounting for key, usually impersonal, happenings of each passing day. For instance: "Monday Feb 10: Back in office, trying to coordinate this upcoming labor contract. Mailed out postcards. Highlight was handing out nutri-grain ...

Feeling awful knowing how hard many of you work and yet will face financial losses.

You're welcome! I gave up on academic philosophy. There are many reasons, but here's two: 1) In one of the many talks I went to, somebody in the audience asked a question and used Tiger Woods as an example. But the speaker had never heard of Tiger Woods. She'd been going on an on for an hour about ...

Does he mean that, since it's April 10 again, it's time to post in the philosophy thread? Thanks for the thoughtful response. My own response is to realize that I don't have the mindset (intelligence) to digest academic philosophy like I did 5 - 10 years ago when, in an amateur sense, I would read ...

Anyone care to help me interpret this one - from the notoriously pessimistic Arthur Schopenhauer: “Time is that by which at every moment all things become as nothing in our hands, and thereby lose all their true value.” Everything becomes lost in its very moment? It’s such an abstract thing to say.

Remember KyleCollins from the long gone Rivals boards. Think he got run off around 2012. I remember really getting into it with him on the football boards. Guy would never let anything go. KyleCollins was my sock. I’m kidding. He was Merkin’s sock. KC's avatar was a picture of his girlfriend kneeli...

So many posts that are TLDNR with a toddler hanging over my back. All I'll say is roster continuity > OADs and bandaids. Players with zero interest in sticking it out for the long haul are bandaids at best. I'm entering the discussion late but we're losing freshman contributors...again? Some combo ...

I didn’t feel bad being a dick because they work in paradise and probably sucker a bunch of old people with that last kicker.... “You can even leave it to your grandchildren in your will!” That's my biggest WTF with these timeshare contracts - IN PERPETUITY! The ability for Starwood or WorldMark to...

I told them they had 120 minutes exactly so they better hustle. And sure as shit, at 10:00am on the dot I walked out with a bottle of tequila, a zip lining tour, and NO timeshare. Because fuck that shit. I’m going to sign up to pay a bunch of money every year for “my” beachside apartment that will ...

Thanks to my employer booking us into Homewood Suites or Hilton Gardens when sending us on work travel, we're all Hilton Honors members. It's been this way for a while, and though I don't work-travel too much, I still accumulate enough "points" for free weekend stays about once or twice a year. All ...

Oh yea 10 called fouls total 5 minutes into 2nd half. And two media timeouts too.

Cate Reese generating points on everything she touches inside. 12 points with 5 left in first half. Cats up 34-22

Just so happen to be in Las Vegas with my Dad most of this week. We were going to try to hit the MWC conference tournament, but when we found out Mandalay was hosting the Wildcats on a do-nothing Friday, guess what won us over. Picked up tickets yesterday. Looking forward to mingling with fellow Cats.

CatsbyAZ

Las Vegas airport later. Will have about two or three hours waiting around until Dad lands on a later flight from San Francisco. Good excuse to try the terminal slots and take down a few drinks at before we get a cab to the Strip.

Do all the hookers still hang out on Miracle Mile? Pretty blatant back in the 1980's. If so that's all moved indoors, to TD's Showclub. As for the rest of Miracle Mile, the last decade of gentrification and repurposing is providing a second wind beyond its glory days. There’s the Gospel Rescue Miss...

Anyone ever stepped inside Nevada Smith's Saloon on Miracle Mile? Visiting my brother this weekend, since he lives within walking distance that's where we decided to catch the Arizona basketball game. Very impressed with how much the inside atmosphere is that of an Old West bar, a lot like those you...

Back when I was a teenager in the military, the Navy made us newbies take a counter intelligence class before we deployed. One of the points we were taught was how to spot a "fake American," namely by their accent. The North American English pronunciation of "Th" as in Th- eater NOT Te- ater is uniq...

No Las Vegas thread, so I'll just ask in the Atlanta thread.

Any advice on what to expect if I spent March Madness in Vegas? Thinking about taking my Dad to the sportsbooks to watch the first weekend of tipoffs (March 19-22) and wanted to know what to expect. Huge crowds? More expensive hotel rooms?

Todd Graham to Hawaii. I don't feel like checking wikipedia, but I don't think Graham had an ounce of work after Ray Anderson canned him. Too many bridges burned, and the sign stealing still leaves a bad aftertaste among fellow coaches. Good hire for Hawaii...I guess? An experienced hir e is a bett...

About once a year, or twice if (un)lucky, I'm asked by a woman that I don't know very well how old I think they are. There's a careful range to aim for. I subtract 5 years from an honest guess. 37 - 5 = 32. Aim too high (39?) and she'll never speak to you again. Aim to low (27?) and conversation goe...

Haven't been able to catch a single AZ game this season. Too busy with work, holidays, no cable tv, to lazy to hit the sports bar, can't fit it around watching football too. That changes today. Meeting up with an alumni group and watching from start to finish. Go Cats!

The sooner the season ends the sooner Sumlin can be fired and his buyout goes from $7.5M to $5M and a new coach can be hired. Just beat ASU. Couldn't've stated my ambitions better.

I understand prosecution can give anybody immunity to use them as witnesses. What about the defense?

Thanks - very informative answer! Networks also sell their inventory to aggregators, such as cable companies, in blocks. They’ll sell slots to Comcast who will then slide their client’s commercial in, but they’re selling a “national” slot to Ford because not everyone has that cable company. I guess ...

How are TV Commercials priced between the TV Channels and the advertiser? More specifically: Does the company (let's say Ford) reserve two commercial spots during a program (say an NFL playoff game) by locking in a price by paying up front for a projected rating? Say $250K/1 minute for a projected r...
