Not to mention that it isn’t like Alou was camped under a lazy pop up. He was jumping to reach over a wall into a crowd of people in the stands. That is NOT a guaranteed 100% catch. And it was game 6. All they had to do was not lose game 7 as well. And it was the 8th inning and only would have been the second out…

I wonder about towing and towing capacity. Something like this would be awesome down at the lake for putting the boat in/taking it out plus just having a little off road fun. And I have electricity down there (even though it is just camping otherwise) so charging wouldn’t be an issue.

If only she had slipped him her phone number so that she could then release his inappropriate texts to shame him for hitting on a transgender woman. That would have REALLY blown shit up!!!

Even then I would think that it would be suspicious if you had one soda every single shift that you had to have voided. I’m assuming they were smart enough to actually leave it on one of their final checks of their shift so that they didn’t need a void. Either that or just present the proper check to their final…

I had a friend who worked the desk at a Super Cuts in HS. If somebody paid cash and said to give the change to the person who cut their hair, he’d hand over the tip but then record it as a walk out (left without getting a cut) and pocket the price of the cut. And yes, they did eventually get caught and fired.

Leaving earlier is only possible for the first trip of the day at times. If you have to pick up your kids after work, you can’t just leave work early because there are normally delays. If your doctor appointment is after work (maybe you have to leave work early for it) then you can’t just leave work earlier. If…

I dislocated my big toe about 9 days ago. At one point while they were trying to get it back in place in the ER, I told them to just cut it off and I’d live with 9 toes it hurt so bad. If the doctors had listened, I could have given them a free replacement big toe. Thankfully for me the second doctor started…

I think you really mean 32 hour wait.

Isn’t it like saying that instead of people dying because they got shot, they actually got shot because they died? WTF???

It has been done a few times according to Baseball Almanac but only once in the last 100 years (1921 or 1922). It looks like all of the times it happened previously were 1905 and earlier which seems to indicate that there were maybe no fences or some weird thing with the fields where the games were played.

What pisses me off most about her devotion to privatizing all education and focusing on religious based schooling is that it goes DIRECTLY against the founding fathers and their vision for our country. You can go to the University of Virginia’s online archives and read the direct intentions of Thomas Jefferson and…

Clearly not being complete pieces of shit and not screwing over students and tax payers just to make a buck are overly burdensome. What a bunch of BS.

As others have said, I’ll go to a bar near home with friends to watch so that I don’t give the organizers any of my money. The bar would be buying it anyway so it isn’t like I’m the reason they are paying. At least that’s what I’m telling myself. I don’t really care about MMA or boxing but if there is an event that…

I’m still a big fan of the Red Sux and Yankmees myself.

$80k between two stores which are open 70 hours a week each. 52 weeks a year. So yeah, each store needs about an extra $100/day. If your margins are that tight then you were already on the cusp of losing money to begin with.

St. Louis does. I think it’s something like 1% that I pay. It may even be less but I haven’t even bothered looking at it since I started working here. I’ve been working for the same company 20 years next month and I’m just used to it.

I don’t disagree with you at all and the. While the question of whether police are racist or not is 100% valid, I just think that the conversation needs to be about all of that instead of distilled down to the simple issue of racist officer because the problems are way larger than just officers as we both know. The…

I think the point was more that you can’t really give an answer to that question because it is more complicated than a yes or no answer. While I believe that some officers do target black people, I think the answer is more that the current justice, political and social systems/climate lead to the targeting of…

I don’t think that they hate women, they just hate everybody that isn’t rich and in a position of power like they are (or perceive themselves to be). It goes back to Benjamin Franklin saying in his autobiography (paraphrasing here) that the problem with an elected government is that there are three kinds of people. …

Only the part about pretending like terrorist attacks aren’t a problem. The rest was just throwing stuff around because I have no idea how to actually fix the problem but I don’t think this idea of losing political correctness is the way to go. I’m honestly afraid that there is no real way to ‘fix’ the problem. …
