    NFL 2020 Season: Gravy Edition!

    I still like Baker. He moves in the pocket well. Nick Chubb is always a pleasure. Probably Chubb is my favorite to watch last year and now. Not sure how much of this year I can stand though :( I'll try not to be a downer.

    Odell is so gifted his routes even surprise the QB. "I did not expect him to run that way," Baker Mayfield said, after every single target.

    The Higher Education Thread: Justify Poor Life Choices

    If you are in the industry, or simply understand "industry speak," here is a really good snapshot of what's going on in these poor SOB's minds. This is possibly going to really melt down. This author is a good fellow, and this is him sounding scared shitless...

    Thanks. I hadn't played in around 14 years. All of a sudden over the new year, and my chops / ear show back up. 2020 is a messed up year.

    Belated THNX to those who suggested some tips so I can record myself. I already got some Shure's se530's and Grado SR325e's. I am set on the headphone front. Grado's... mmm. One of the "audiobox" + a much nicer mic is needed? I need to research what mic I need first of all maybe? This will...

    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    Well now you're just being contradictory. Not much of an argument, really, it's simply the gainsaying of someone's statement by negating it.

    Parent's house for dinner yesterday. 3 people: 2 small roasts mashed potatoes gravy salad vegetables iced tea It was very tasty. Enough roast beef for 3 hearty sandwiches today. Most expensive thing is of course the roasts. Total was 20 dollars. Rest of ingredients are staples always around...

    Depression

    thnx. I thought we were talking about self-medding. I've always been worse when I tried to "figure it out myself." Maybe I was lucky with my p-doc. 12 years!!! And still going every 4-6 months. I haven't had "the bad thoughts" barely at all in months now. It's still there, oh fuck yeh, it's...

    After "Nothing's Shocking" I just didn't see the point. That is how I feel about SP too. Gish. All I need. Nothing's Shocking. All I need.

    It's not in your head. And 25% sounds about right. And there is no shame in that! My uncle is an electrician, very skilled. A friend is a carpenter who through word of mouth does custom work. But I bet if people applied themselves that 25% could turn to 50%. That is where this piss poor...

    No no, solid regional SLAC. Second tier quality. And I took a leave and then had a job, then decided to extend the leave, the March happened now it is gone. I would not go anyplace near a classroom till 2022 anyway. I like being sane. So savings and no teaching it is. I can live very cheap. I...

    Going to College as an Adult

    I used to teach at this school, and one of the old faculty (this was a philosophy dept.) was quiet, huge gray beard, mild mannered. We worked on some stuff for a month or so together and I found out he also has a doctorate in physics. I asked him how that came about. He said, "well, in the early...

    Just found this thread. God bless all of you, first of all. I'm an adult, on the other side of the glass, and I've got about 30 yrs clocked ... teaching undergrads where I am lucky if 5 out of ten are competent and perfectly responsible and sensible students, and if 1 out of ten has a mind deep...

    Really? I don't know. Nirvana Nevermind and In Utero still are perfect to me, and I really wanted to not like Green Day, but Dookie could not be denied, so I made piece. I know you said %100 subjective, and of course. I'm just puzzled.

    I am in northeastern PA these days, close enough to the Alleghenies if the need arises to go mobile. Fucking gorgeous countryside. I've lived in Cleveland for 20 years. I made a smart move <boggle>. I got out of the city in Jan. The March happened lol. Timing.

    Anyone in the great lakes area? July-August so many years = hot upper 80's, low 90's (hehe) humidity. Misery. AC time. August was low humidity low temp. It has already gotten into the upper 40's at night a few times. And it looks like that's it. It's "70 degree daily highs" here we come...

    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    A lot of life decisions are made based on the community we belong or think we belong to. Most people have a hard time imagining themselves simply alone, or more to the point, of actually leaving behind perfectly satisfactory friends or family. That creates a problem for this thread. I have a...

    no, you are thinking Chryslers hehe. I had a friend who fancied those. He was a raging alcoholic and drove drunk and was convinced a big early - mid 70's land boat gave him the best odds of surviving anything. And yeah, that's the gas mileage for those tanks. The back seat was like a room, not a...

    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    This is all true. I would highly recommend driving one of those cars just once, though. You have to be careful accelerating from a stop light cause they can stall easy. Braking is like from another galaxy, and forget it if the weather gets icy! And yes, they will impale a minivan because steel >...

    Tips on being a cheap piece of shit

    1) Buy an old "uncool" car that any mechanic can work on with ease. 1975 Dodge Dart with a slant 6. That slant 6 does 300k with common sense upkeep. Plus, it is 2 tons of steel, and today's cars bounce off it. That's always a chuckle to realize someone banged into your front bumper because they...
