  1. Really sad news hit us Thursday morning. Husband of one of my wife's closest co-workers/friends shot himself the night before. Just crushes my heart. He was about in his mid-fifties, his wife had already retired with full state pension, they have two grown sons (oldest getting married this year, youngest about to graduate with a EE degree), he had planned to work at least until the youngest was going to graduate. They traveled when they wanted, had a family ranch outside of town, hunted, had fun, etc. And just an overall great guy too, not a snarky or cynical bone in his body. From the outside, that family was checking every single box we are all striving for. My wife and I didn't know he was struggling with depression. Was told that same day that he had been going to therapy. I completely respect that I'll never be able to understand what he was going through, and the ultimate conclusion he came up with. But those thoughts just seem so foreign and far away to me, no matter how down I've been. It does make me wonder if I will ever realize it if it starts to happen to me....(sigh)...
  2. And here I am bitching about small dots of black algae....good grief man. You know if a put a bottle of chlorine in there every few days during the off season, you won't have to deal with an underwater jungle.
  3. I bet $1 that he knows the other driver
  4. Hey, don't you understand? Their tradition superceds the lives of 12 students man.
  5. fluid mode. Other views seem to crash/hang up the browser as they attempt to load the various embedded sources.
  6. piss mode seems to work better for me too. Thx for the tip. <giggidy>
  7. That is most certainly Burnet...with a sprinkling of Lake Victor thrown in too....
  8. He's gotta be trying to escape some controversy.
  9. One thing is for certain, I will be cracking a few beers here shortly out in the backyard. Whether I see the sun or not, who knows. But I will certainly be at peace.
  10. Noone cares man. We are all just AI bots and Russian trolls anyway. The only real poster is Phlegm. And he's either dead, or running drag races up and down Tarrytown.
  11. Yeah, when I see gulf seafood, I think of "pre-oiled" goodness....
  12. This'll be the inning where we get em
  13. I'm not gonna poo poo Samsung, they know how to make money. But it'll be interesting to see if they can really fill that fab or not. And whether they'll move their cutting edge lithography development there or not.
