  1. If these white men that feel this way would just fuck off yo their own area and leave people alone once they are there - that would be great. But - as history has shown - let anyone besides white men start to do well and these assholes come burn it down - like Tulsa.

  2. They didn’t need to cover Charles. 
    There was a slow pit stop.    Oscar got through.  Thats racing.   Unlucky.  But races are decided by safety car luck or mechanical bad luck all the time.   

    I do get why Oscar followed the orders, he has chosen to keep peace in the garage.     But I think once the slow pit stop happened the “deal” to swap back ends. 

    If they didn’t need to cover Charles, they didn’t need to pit Lando second. The team made a team call and the team screwed up. Give the place back - otherwise don’t expect preferential treatment on pit strategy.

  3. 2002 or 2003 I saw Poison, skid row and Vince Neil. Bach had the best voice and killed it. Vince was, well, terrible and has only gotten worse. Poison was a really fun time - even if it was super bubblegum. This was at Cythiawoods. The scantily clad women were also out en mass.

    I feel like we could’ve gotten this done months ago if it wasn’t so hilly around here.

    For the dads that are coming up on teaching bike riding - I was taught this method by a bike shop friend that taught 100’s of kids.

    1. Find a small, grassy hill and let them roll down the hill - don’t touch the pedals. Have them keep their legs out and ready to put their feet down when the bike stops. Let them feel the balance.
    2. Once comfy with that, move the feet to the pedals and roll down again - reminding them to put their feet down when they stop.
    3. Once comfy with that, tell them to start pedaling when they reach the bottom of the hill. This is where you teach them how to stop - depending on the bike.
    4. Move to a wide open parking lot and have fun.

    Good luck to you!!

  5. I have the BeatBot Aquasense 2 Ultra. I work from home, so I drop it in every couple of days to do a full clean of the pool. It’s expensive. That said - I haven’t had to sweep my walls at all since I’ve gotten it.

    Disclaimer - I do not have any trees around us, so our pool stays pretty clean.

  6. I’ve officially hit middle aged. I’m 47 and my lower back locked up on me Monday after mowing the yard. Today I am mostly standing up straight. Good god - this fucking sucks. I’m hoping I’m back to normal tomorrow.
    I have not worked out this week or cycled and it’s irritating.

    That said - theraguns are awesome and definitely help.

  7. I think my wife will retire in the next two years. She will be 47. I will keep working until the kid is mostly done with college. He’s 14 and a high school freshman, so that gives us a few more years. I think I will be done in 7 years and that should allow our investments to almost double. From there - I will find a fuck you job in something that interests me or provides discounts.
