I had a ‘52 Nash and will second your findings. The Nash had a fold down passenger seat and a hole rusted in the back floorboard. We would drill a hole in the ice, drive the car over the hole, fold the seat down and 3 of us ‘fished’. We all could sit comfortably on half the back seat and the folded down part of the…

That has always been a pet peeve of mine. They want to know what you make now, if it is “too much” you are not getting an offer, if it is low enough they are only going to give you a small raise and you could forever be behind everyone else there.

The drugs themseleves have a useful purpose and in some cases are necessary. That said, they are over prescribed and under monitored. There is an active trade in phony prescriptions and a handful of pharmacies are known to never validate so they are popular places with junkies. The pharmacies are making a small…

for years it has been taboo to talk openly about pay. Every company I have ever worked for had some sort of policy about not discussing pay. This silence has helped hide years of inequality behind a mask of ‘decency’. This sort of spreadsheet should become common. Make management defend their pay choices, expose women…

There is stuff in the New Testament that was used to support slavery also. It is probably best not to let the 2000 year old ramblings of wandering sheep herders dictate morals in a modern world.

Sherman’s biggest failure was stopping too soon.

Hard to get the sear and not overcook the thing if it is already near temp.

I have worked around people who follow nuclear developments as part of their job. They tell me that Norks probably cannot hit even the West coast yet. They add that if the could their targeting is dreadful, so a nuclear SCUD. Thats not good but it also means it could end up 18 miles out to sea. They are also confident…

Back in the 80s I did some work with the local Civil Defense. We got a lecture from a full bird about what to expect if the USSR let loose. It was pretty simple & devastating. It was projected they might miss by up to 30 miles given the distance traveled to hit Minneapolis/St. Paul. To compensate for this they would…

Perhaps true but as a percentage of the population, sports, particularly those with large amounts of money flowing around them outperform.

It is more than just blowout v. heartbreaker. It is how the loss happened more than the size of the loss.

Show me in his original statement where he said any of the 3 things you attribute to him.

Nope. It is not like he is unaware of the situation, it would be beyond pathetic if this was the best he could come up with even on the spur of the moment. I get that coaching does not take a lot of brains but seriously, how hard would it have been to be prepared to say “I am proud of the women who are coming forward…

Its about not killing his golden goose. I have no idea how much he makes helping young men run around in baggy shorts but it is a heck of a lot more than he would make on the overnight shift at 7-11. If he says the wrong thing he could be thrown overboard by the masters who would love to have company going down when…

How about “As a human being I am shocked, saddened and angry” This bullshit about “as a parent” or “as the father of a daughter” pisses me off. If you have to have a daughter to imagine the horror of what was allowed to happen you should turn in your membership to the human race.

This in spades! Young girls are hardly allowed to be children. This seems to be particularly acute in the US, children are over-sexualized. It is worse for athletes.

I worked with a guy or a few years and he seemed normal enough as engineers go. Then he sent me a bunch of documentation on a CD. Beside the documentation was a folder of trannyporn.

Why limit it to just gymnastics? Yeah, these guys are monsters but it seems the sports world is over populated with awful human beings, many of whom get away with being various levels of monsters because they win.

NBC loves them because they win. The network focuses on him as a ‘winner’ and they build an image for him because only good guys win
