The thing is, those of us with non-standard hours and no lunch breaks get really tired of these little pieces that don’t even acknowledge us (if there’s a sentence in there I missed it). Same with people who say “TGIF” and all that shit. Maybe it’s not really a big deal, but it gets old. Non-cubicle workers are a…

I mercifully don’t know much about how human hospitals work, and I’m sure some are way better managed than others. But in such an unpredictable environment, no matter how well managed it is, it’s impossible to guarantee a lunch break. Hospitals also do vary a fair bit in how much funding they have.

Well, NDSU has a better record against the FBS than the Sun Belt against, er, the rest of the FBS. They should really be in the FBS. But from what I can tell living g here, I think the fans really like their big fish small pond setup.

I moved to Fargo six months ago and the “bizzzzzzon” thing still drives me crazy. They’ll even correct you if you say it with the s!

It’s really rarely possible to get enough people to cover so everyone always gets a lunch break. The medical world is just too unpredictable. If you have so many people, then you have some people sitting around a lot of the time, which isn’t functional either. Better managed places have people get lunch breaks more…

I was a veterinary intern! Good grief that was hell.

THANK YOU! I was scrolling to see if anyone brought up things like the health professions before I went on a rant myself. I often get lunch, and try to make a point of getting lunch. When taking my lunch means someone is inconvenienced, I take it. But most of the time, I can’t just walk away. Tasks get started and…

Well, I live in North Dakota and came to make a comment about wondering who all these rich people are, so there you go. It’s an odd place. The rich people either aren’t where I live or don’t flaunt it.

Oddly, Grand Forks is actually more expensive than F/M.

I’ve observed a general trend where the majority of University of [state] fans tend to have never gone there and would never have even gotten in, and [State] state university fans are students and alumni. Does not apply in North Dakota however. These NDSU fans are nuts.

As a Russian living in America I wonder the same thing but honestly have no idea. It’s probably shown at random late-night times and people who’ll watch basically any televised sports watch it. They broadcast some basketball during the Soviet era and my grandpa was like “it’s not soccer but it’s some guys and a ball,…

Maybe for some people, but for a lot of us it’s the game itself and the association with the alma mater. I’ve noticed people who didn’t go to schools with big sports programs tend to not get it. What I don’t get are the Michigan fans who did not go to Michigan, could never have gotten in to Michigan, but will get in…

And yet here you are commenting on Deadspin :)

The Russians aren’t very excitable as a whole.

I love college sports. My friends in college got me into it. I held season tickets for football and hockey in college and more recently spent a stupid amount of money to go to the 2014 Rose Bowl (my parents didn’t even try to understand this behavior). Intellectually it really bothers me that most universities lose…

Just you know, in general. But hey, like I said, Florida didn’t do anything else there, so you guys can bathe in their tears.

You know, from an outside observer perspective, it IS stupid. If it disappeared tomorrow, I intellectually would think that was great. But in reality I love college sports to an insane degree, way more than pro sports, and am very glad there’s absolutely no way I’d ever lose my precious.

I’ve very nonscientifically come to the conclusion that diet and some amount of basic movement are far more important to general health and fitness than the “RAWR!” kind of exercise. Mostly based on observing that people in countries that are not obsessed with fitness the way we are are often quite healthy overall.…

Hey, why do you think we moved to ‘Murica?

I exercise because I enjoy it (no really), but I’ve nonscientifically come to the conclusion that diet is 95-99% of both losing weight and long term health. And the older I get, the less working out offsets poor eating habits.
