You know what really grinds my gears...

It’s incredible how angry I get at echo. I have one of the better sound ones and I’ll play music from it pretty often and it’s always fun when I’m screaming “ECHO!!!!” at the top of my lungs trying to get it to hear me over whatever music I’m playing at 10/10 volume. Then sometimes she’ll hear my i...

Yeah, his Facebook profile said he worked at Cochran Infiniti. No doubt if you mentioned PSU and you were alum he gave you a deal.

No surprise Paul is a PSU alum and has always been a big homer for them. He was also on the Second Mile board of directors. Here is his Twitter profile with his profile picture of him and Paterno together: https://twitter.com/Palexander44 Oh and did you know he sold cars at Cochran from 2015-2016..a...

Mueller and Dale Lolley going at it in a stupid (but funny) Twitter flame war over the Steelers draft pick. Of course Mueller and Poni were against the Harris pick because they are just contrarians. C'mon Dale, you should know the contest winner better than that! https://twitter.com/dlolley_pgh/stat...

lol..Pittsburgh Dad Jr. said this morning that "multiple sources" told him GMJR was working on a trade for Letang and ownership didn't want that to happen. "So here we are". https://twitter.com/colin_dunlap/status/1354771426151161859?s=20 I guess Pittsburgh Dad Jr. implying that was the reason GMJR ...

Going to my in-laws house is never fun in a normal year but especially not this year. We didn't go Thanksgiving obviously but are being forced to go Christmas because it is my MIL's "day" - "her holiday". :roll: She goes all out for it, etc. My wife is an only child so our kids are their only grandk...

What a remarkable story this is. ELEVEN months. Over 4x faster than the fastest vaccine ever. Huge win for medicine. :thumb: Guy on MSNBC this morning was explaining mRNA vaccines and said that this will likely be the new normal for any other new vaccines we may eventually need.

I wonder if teachers would be required to take this in order to full in-person classes to resume? I guess a tricky issue with teacher's unions and what if a handful of teachers refuse? Or just take the vaccine and schools continue what they are doing right now? Maybe wait until next school year to h...

Vaccine won't be a magic bullet for awhile but will be great, still have to wear masks and social distance. What would help a ton is to pay Americans to stay home like other countries.Otherwise people are still going to be out and about. Kids in daycare, school, etc.

They state the restrictions to show that they set a restriction but its self enforcing, which means nothing in the end sadly. There would have to be police at every road that crosses in/out of the state. Must be hundreds of those in all directions and how would you staff the checkpoints? As far as t...
