  1. Yeah, there are definitely issues with the club sport, particularly the ones that go year round. We traded rec level team sports for year round individual sports, but it still has its warts. Luckily, my kids are passionate about their respective activities, and that helps with the burnout. I don’t gaf what they are as long as they are moving and enjoying it. Lots of $$$ and time though, oof.
  2. Sounds like a poorly run league. Ours limited it to 3 coaches/team, which of course they pick their own kid. We did have a team where those three coaches all had top kids one year, and then got a early pic and crushed. Daughter was on that team and they ended season something like 60 runs from the next team. But that was an atypical year. I think they had something like 8 of the eventual 12 all stars for the year. Being the only team that could throw from 3 to 1 was biggest game changer by far. She was also on a middle of the road team, and a team that sucked all season but got it together on the tournament and lost the championship game in extra innings. Sometimes it shakes out unfairly but that’s kind of how it goes when people are picking their own kids. We’ve had the opposite experience. I’m not in a lower income area, however the league is located in one. Both of our closest leagues are, actually. There is a pretty solid range of racial and income/wealth demographics. BUT, everyone with any money bolts after 10U. At almost a 100% rate, it’s odd. My daughters found their preferred sports before that age but we have plenty of friends from the league and it’s been consistent. I still don’t see how club teams are a deterrent. There are some that are big money, but there are “affordable” club teams, too.
  3. Yeah I’m travertine on 3 sides. But think I could sink them just past it, maybe. If you really committed to an anchor, not half assed it. We’re in same boat. Have to leave often and I just turn the system off when I’m gone or pump would burn up in a day. The baskets are chock full in minutes sometimes. You have a link to that tarp?
  4. That seems to be about 10 mins of pollen drop for mine. It’s a rough 3 weeks or so. Any way to attach that thing without the screws in the decking?
  5. I took a few ~250’ tall (long) towers over the Fred Hartman once. 1.2mm pounds each or thereabouts. Took in the neighborhood of 60 axles, 2 pull trucks and 2 push trucks for each tower. It was swaying like a mf when they were coming up that thing. I was legit pretty nervous and hoping the bridge engineer that go is the permits didn’t get his degree from aggy.
  6. Lots of all stars on that list. Can someone whip up a cheeky 2 buttons meme for the occasion?
  7. Unfortunately that’s how we looked up until about 10 days before season close
  8. This is impossible. Food companies make profit, I mean gouge. And for profit corporations barely even pay living wages. Some people even die trying to make it to director. This post tells me so much. I wish you would have posted this years ago, I’ve spent a lot of time trying to figure you out. I got the healthcare thing, and now, the economics
  9. No it wasn’t, dumbfuck. It was my anecdotal experience, and that was clear. You aren’t really this fucking stupid? Or maybe you work in govt?
  10. Weekend warrior you can do a lot with the 110’s. I’m going on 15 years will a little Hobart 110. I also keep a 50a Lincoln box around for anything thicker. I got rid of the bigger stuff years ago when I realized I can use the shop stuff for anything I can’t handle at home.
  11. We spent the whole last page talking about the 80/20 rule. And yet we still gaf about how they feel their life is going? Maybe they should tighten up and dip into the 20% and find some happiness.
  12. Exactly. And as a bonus, I don’t even cry myself to sleep thinking about potentially losing electricity for 12 hours during a once a decade storm, or the price of a bag of Doritos going up 35%. Dreaming about how we can force people to drive cars we feel are sensible, and pondering why there aren’t any builders that want to leave money on the table to build shotgun houses for anyone and everyone who deserves a roof, in town of course.
  13. He actually seems extremely competent when discussing his field (comp sci/tecH iirc) in other threads. How you can work for a for profit company, and invest in for profit companies and then also believe everything you feel is overpriced is gouging or should be provided by Washington has got to be one hell of a struggle.
  14. No, I’m under the impression we have a bunch of folks between 12 and 30 who are having a hard time figuring out what 10’s (hundreds?) of millions around them have. Even after (presumably) being raised in a better house, in a better hood, while receiving a better education, and having more opportunity and technology at their fingertips than any preceding generation, they cannot find “happiness”, however that’s personally defined.
  15. Yeah, time flies and I realized that was some years ago since I was running the roads solo. I could have also said “a few hundred thousand less” if that works for you. Surprise, people make considerably more a decade into their careers.
  16. I sold all my OXY waaaaaaay too soon. Womp
  17. That is the kind of shit lawyers salivate over. Thanks for the vid, new S class already on order.
  18. That was also a decade ago. And was making about 25% of current salary. So seems to be tracking with wages.
  19. Everything should be provided to us for free for existing!!1!1. Billionaires should pay for it all. I participate in 401k and other investments but will act like I don’t know how they work. There, I got your next 10 posts covered. Saved us all some time, so you can think harder about why nobody here (anywhere) wants to live in a little duplex next to duplex house people and drive shitbox cars and eat cheap food.
  20. We’ll fuck me, I’m joining the disgruntled yoots. I used to stop and get 5 or so on road trips. Easy to eat with one hand and cheap af. This is depressing.
  21. We aren’t shitting on humans. We are shitting on Americans and blowing the Finns. Yet every single chain sells $1 kids burgers. 4 justaburgers can hit the spot right quick for $5. We (me) choose that #2 and whatasize it, and that long predated Facebook and MySpace. I implore to you to digest post #81 and tell me about where profit falls into that conversation.
  22. Correct. And I was on the first or second page if that thread saying burn the guys down. Still, people killing people, then being held responsible for their act is how it’s supposed to work. I can’t speak to the asshole with an AK at low ready getting shot by an asshole hiding his piece in a car. Seems like FAFO applies well there, where it did not in Abery’s case. Elon…
