My university of 10000 students could not give less of **** about any of this. Fortunately.

My oldest graduates in June, and he is going with a friend on a senior walk through the friend's elementary school and middle school. My son, of course, went to other schools outside of this district. But he gets out of a couple of days of school, so why not. Anyway, he's going to go up to some rand...

Mlodzinski is probably close to be ready to be called up, so he could take Bednar's place on the roster. (I knew he played for the loathsome Gamecocks, but didn't know he's from Hilton Head. Win some, lose some )

And the one guy who went outside the MLB Pirates hitting coaches - Hayes - is doing well. And managed to get the guy who helped him fired (Nunnally). Good times.

Hmm, water cooling has always scared me because of the humidity here...and my fear I would **** something up during the install. :lol: I don't overclock, and the Peerless Assassin 120 keeps my 7600x at 60-65 c at full load (and BF 2042 is a very CPU intensive game). It isn't even loud, probably beca...

While true on Bednar and Chapman, if the Pirates hitters could string together some hits and score a few more (or any) runs, outcomes would be different. That's what my concern is: the lack of developed hitters in the system. Pitching seems to be OK, for the most part, but no or few big bats in the ...

I concur. So dumb, but fun. I really liked the premise of going after malware scammers who steal money from old people.I watched The Beekeeper last night. Super dumb flick. That said, I could watch Jason Statham kick everyone's ass in anything.

For them to display on this site, you have to (manually) change the X to twitter. Even then, it takes 20-30 seconds for it to load for me. It might be my Firefox settings or adblock or both. Or the site. Or all three.

Evidently, Sleepy Joe convinced Howard Stern to work on a Friday to do a 1 on 1 interview.
I'm not sure what's more shocking: Stern working on a Friday or a sitting president sitting down for an interview with Stern.

Yeah, I built one in January 2023 (It seems like it was just a few months ago, but nope, over a year!) Very similar specs: I went with the 7600X as it was on sale at the time. I went with the ROG Strix B650 E-F motherboard, same CPU cooler (which is excellent especially at that price point). I kept ...

No, I guess not. Just that she's ridiculously young to be fully retired. And how I never thought she would actually do it so early, as she's loved being a teacher. Just driven out of the profession by craven administrators, dimwitted politicians, and entitled ignorant parents.

My wife is beginning to make noises about retirement. Basically, she can retire next year with a full state pension. At age 50, after 30 years as a teacher (yes, she graduated early from high school/college and got her Masters degree before I got my BA, and I'm a year older. She's one of THOSE peopl...

Hey @Gaucho do you know why the German versions of The Expanse books omit the S.A. from the author(s)' names?
I'm assuming it's a reference to the Sturmabteilung, but could it be something else?

The all of a sudden tryout was a passive aggressive way my son's baseball coach used to get him off the team. My son basically was done with baseball and it was very evident to the entire team and coaches that his heart wasn't into it. The team played their last game of the season in late June, and ...

Crazy **** going on at a neighboring high school. Two days in a row, bomb threats were called into the school.

Shōgun, episode 10 - the finale They stuck the landing. Letting Yabu linger for those few extra moments was cold, but earned. I'm glad the showrunners held their bravery and refrained from the pointless spectacle of a giant battle sequence, and please do not do a Season 2. A flower is only a flower...
