  1. Oh no, it wasn't almost, there was honest to God sleet and that wasn't the most miserable thing about it. 

    That game and the weather that day were the fucking worst

    Just found out today that that some former co-workers/gals are going there this weekend. They are wanting to party one night in Cancun, but not staying in the Hotel Zone. Just the island.  I don't have a clue as I have stayed in Cancun and Cozumel multiple x's, but not Isla and they have a question per the ferry schedule.

    Anyone have an idea when the last ferry from the mainland runs out to the island? 

    ( and if it works out, I'll see abut posting any pics she might have/get for you A-hole/pervs here....pretty rocking early-mid 30's bod)

    i want to say 10ish, but you can go to their website. ultraferry i believe

    What policy's specifically negate crazy?  Because this fuck nut was crazy.  Bullied at school.  Multiple fights.  Cut up and carved up his own face.  Murdered his grandmother.  Led the police on a chase to a school.

    They keep going after schools ala copycat killers because the schools are "soft".  You want bipartisan support?  Harden the schools.  Not turn them into prisons, but fund ways to better lock them down.  Apparently this was an older design, with doors that led directly to the outside.  No inner hallway.  He was able to go right in, and probably then lock the doors from the inside.

    But this guy was bat-crap crazy.  Who's to say his chase doesn't coincide with recess and he tries to plow his truck into a line of walking kids?  

    maybe the fucking policy that allowed this fuck nut to purchase 2 fucking AR-15s the day he turned 18? FUCK YOU

    Well I’m officially mad at the IRS. For years I had set up my withholding amount to be in line with our deductions and credits (kids and shit).  But then we got those advance child tax credits over the summer.  So I had to pay IRS like $4500 yesterday, meanwhile we got 4800 over the summer.  So under normal circumstances (which I had planned for!) we’d be getting a modest $300 refund.  EXCEPT because I withhold so little and owed $4500 they slapped me with an underpayment penalty.  WTF?  

    that was your bad for not opting out of the child tax credit

    Currently a VP of Finance with a smaller company doing about $60M annually.  Was previously with a fortune 100 company in multiple Finance leadership roles.  Looking to make a move.  Desired salary in the $180-220k range.  I'm used to the traditional office environment, but times are a changing.

    I am seeing more and more Remote-only positions that are paying quite well.  From y'alls experience, what are the warning signs on these posted positions?  Key questions to ask?  I'm willing to adapt to the market and make a change to remote-only, but definitely need some guidance.  Thanks in advance.

    there is no downside unless you really like being around co-workers you don't like anyway, commuting to and from work, packing your lunch, buying clothes and getting dressed.

    been doing remote work for many years now. it's so much better and more convenient

    Hated 4runner (or Tacoma for that matter), does not compute. I hate having a reliable, bullet proof vehicle.

    they're very reliable, but they drive like complete shit. some people prefer a better and more comfortable ride

    Carvana. No hassle and the offer was ridiculous on my truck. It took like a total of 10 minutes of my time to get a quote, sign it over, and collect payment. I can’t imagine dealing with private buyers.

    this. dealing with private buyers isn't worth any extra money you'd get

  8. awesome pics! questions for you.

    1. what do you do for a living? are you retired?

    2. what does your normal day look like?

    Anybody successfully gotten the car dealership, working with one of the covert dealerships, to remove these "protection packages" from the cost or purchase?

    Walk away seems to be my lone strat. They are dug in.

     

    had the same issue when buying my GMC sierra in dec 2020. covert wouldn't budge. ended up buying in cavender GMC in san antonio who sold it with none of that shit. Once i had that quote the covert sales guy offered to match but i told him to go fuck himself. ended up driving to san antonio and having dinner at mi tierra afterwards.

    i fucking hate playing games

    I bet that hot tub was 20k of it.  Why don’t more people do a separate above-ground hot tub off to the side? Just aesthetics? The hot tubs you can buy for 4-10k look a lot more comfortable than a gunite one.  My pool guy says they can’t build one that competes with the above-ground models, other than in looks. 

    separate and above ground hot tubs look tacky as fuck. a pool with a built in spa is just so much nicer.

     

    to be honest, that 100k is less than what i thought the pools were going for nowadays.

    I actually won with the Championship with the Buffalo safety stat correction. I went to bed down 2.34 points and runner up, I get a congrats text this afternoon and go check, and sure enough, I am the champ. It was good I got that text because I already removed the app from my homescreen..

     

    Ok, I've done the investigation.   To not bury the lead, I think it's a true stat correction.

    Yahoo had them holding Atlanta to between 7-13 points but adjusted it to 14-20 points.  Atlanta scored 15 points.  That's a drop from 4 points for defensive points allowed to 1 point for defensive points allowed changing the total by 3 points.  So at 1st glance it looks like a legit stat change, but hold on.

    How did Atlanta score that amount of points on the Buffalo defense? Apparently the 1st 2 points of the game came on a Atlanta punt to Buffalo, Buffalo return team fumbled the ball, Buffalo recovered the ball back in the end zone for a safety.  According to the rules, we know safeties don't count against defensive points allowed.  Not so fast my friend...only safeties allowed by offenses don't count against DST's.  Safeties allowed by kick/punt return teams DO count to points allowed.

    Assuming that those 2 points count against defensive points that is the play for the stat correction.  I'm not the commissioner, but my determination is that this stat correction will hold.

    same here. I went to bed having lost by .22 points, then my opponent got those 2 points deducted from his buffalo defense so I ended up winning. What a clusterfuck.

    in the end, i took 50% of the winnings instead of 60% and gave him 40% instead of 30%. We're all friends so I didn't want to be a dick about it

    My bad. I didn’t see the game so I didn’t know how the safety was scored and thought El Tri was talking about a situation in scoring that differentiated between DEF and D/ST. For example, in one of my leagues punt return TDs aren’t included in the scoring. 

    yeah i was wondering about the DEF vs D/ST as our league says DEF, but we've definitely gotten points for when there is a return TD on special teams.

    several people on twittering asking yahoo about the same thing.

  13. ok so I have a dilemma here. Last night I went to bed losing 129.36 to 129.14 (opponent had chase and not much else). This morning, I wake up and see they deducted 2 points from his buffalo defense because their STs allowed a safety or something? 

    He sent me screenshots of before and after rules and in the before it showed safeties against not counting, but as of this morning they do.

    what do i do here?
