Back in ye olde days I think 'noon' began as just shorthand for 'mid-day', but that middle point of the day was a later clock hour than it is today. There was some religious connection to it, but I don't recall exactly.

Are you suggesting "Coach Prime" will....... hasten his death???

We have all Steelcase desks and chairs at work, which are nice; I think I've only raised my desk 3, 4 times. I have an inexpensive FEZIBO motorized desk at home that I used quite a lot the first year I had it. Now it's in standing mode so infrequently I unplugged it and shelved the power supply to c...

And I bet the price of eggs are down They are not. Cage free seem to be hit hardest by the avian flu to the point where our local Kroger (and other grocery stores) either won't carry those types of eggs or are over $6 a dozen. Normally, they are around $3-4 for non-organic cage free large eggs. But...

World of Coca Cola is great too and located right next to the aquarium. My friend's first job out of college was marketing at Coke during the 1996 Olympics. His job was to just drive around Atlanta and if he ever found an intersection where it was possible to not see the Coke logo somewhere he'd ma...

lol he can help them by not legally being permitted to play for them.

I've had more Penguin related videos recommended to me by ye algorithm related to that than I have for actual hockey in like 18 months.

So, Pickens showing up half an hour late for the Chiefs game. Discuss.

Ton of fun, such an unexpected treasure. The episode was wall-to-wall Space Goonies action. But there are a lot of unanswered questions that remain. - Space pirates can't shoot any better than Imp Stormtroopers when the story says the heroes must evade the peril. - I didn't like that they did the fa...

When I changed insurance my dentist's office just magically had everything changed for my next appointment. I didn't provide any card or even tell them my primary had changed. I showed up ready to do all the paperwork and they were like, "We did it last week". And I was like......... how.

My guess was human body part, so I guess I'm aligned with SCB.

It would depend on the general nature of the the answers and the tone of the interview overall imo. Every minute you aren't talking is a minute you aren't making the case for yourself, so ceding time to the interviewer by asking a lot of questions can certainly backfire. But by the same token, you a...

That that, Baltimore.

A friend of mine nearly got into a fight with him leaving a bar in NYC a number of years ago. Portnoy staggered out/was bounced drunk as a skunk and stumbled into some passersby (including my friend and his friends) and he took their presence in his way as an afront. Began shoving people and challen...

I am not sure Jerry would like a coach who hogs his spotlight.

We were talking earlier today about the Steelers having far and away the most expensive defense in the NFL? Far and away the cheapest is the Rams.

https://twitter.com/Schultz_Report/status/1878878329807208753 His son is awful too, so the Cowboys futility will likely continue indefinitely. Hey. Hey, hey...... hey. Nobody - and I mean nobody - knows this business better than Jerry Jones. And he'll tell you so if you ask him. Or even if you don'...

It certainly didn't help the Chargers.

Andor was the previous lowest viewed SW show on D+. The most-watched movie on the platform is Episode I.

I hate people.

There was a break in the winds yesterday so we hoofed it up the coast to Santa Barbara for the afternoon. Got to a public parking structure and I pulled into a spot next to a white Rolls Royce, license plate CA "SCRUE". They got out as we were shutting down. It was Nikki Sixx and his wife ...

Prescription meds or just over-the-counter drugs?

Withholding disaster relief because of leaky dick syndrome is not a consequence of an election. It's a character defect.

Coach swap!

lol

They are by far the most expensive defense in the League, largely down to the big contracts for Watt and Fitzpatrick (and to a lesser extent Queen). For 2024 they were like +$20 million up on the second-highest paid defense. 'Quit' is a good word for the defense. The Ravens game was humiliating. The...
