  1. Not trying to trivialize the death, but does anyone really think people wouldn’t die at an ATV amusement park? People die on ATVs; of course there’s gonna be fatalities at an ATV amusement park.
  2. Good for you. I’ll echo my previous advice from last year’s thread. Will power is a muscle, so don’t overwhelm yourself by taking on too much at once. Tackle one or two new habits at a time and build from there. Maybe start walking a few days a week and cutting back on soft drinks. etc etc.

    Nirvana

    Yeah that scene had been bubbling for years, but Nirvana opened the floodgates. Alice in Chains, didn't kick that door down, Soundgarden didn't kick it down. Jane's Addiction didn't. The Pixies didn't. Of course, the reason Nirvana had the cultural impact they did is there were a ton of great bands right there with them; it was never just Nirvana. Like you said, pop culture was primed for a change. Nirvana was the spark, and all those other bands brought a hell of a lot of fuel to the explosion that followed. How old are you? I was 16 when teen spirit caught fire in the fall of 91. So my perspective is as a high schooler in the Houston suburbs. Interested to see how your age and place informs your perspective.

    Nirvana

    Class of 93 here. That's the thing about Nirvana, regardless of what you think about their music, they immediately and throughly killed an entire subgenre of rock and ushered in a completely new sound and look for kids. They weren't the first Seattle band I heard, Alice and Chains was getting airplay during the summer of 91 and I first saw Soundgarden when the opened for GnR, but no other band from that era can match their impact on mainstream pop culture.
  5. In his four years here, I’ve seen nothing from Shaka that shows he even has an offensive philosophy.
  6. The value of a grad transfer is they are immediately eligible and can be short term, plug and play solutions like Alex Anderson and Tre Watson. Depending on the team's needs and roster that can either increase or decrease their value.

    Sonos thread

    Got a pair of Sonos 1s just before Christmas. They're pretty cool for what they are, and I'm happy with them. But over the past week, I started having an issue when playing songs off Tidal: halfway through the song, it jumps to the next one. It plays fine when I'm playing songs on my phone, though (iPhone XS with a bunch of music on it). My Sonos and Tidal apps are updated. Any suggestions other than wait for an update that hopefully fixes it?
  8. Legitimately your best post on surly
  9. Not disagreeing with you, but the guaranteed way to ensure that our fans continue not caring about basketball is to keep Shaka smart. Winning is the only thing that will make fans give a damn, and it doesn't look like Shaka is the guy to make that happen.
  10. But what do you think TH wants to do ?
  11. What a fucking dumbass. The move to usc made no sense, and now Kilff, who was 35-40 at Tech, may pay his own buyout for NFL head coaching interviews.
  12. I went through a similar situation when buying my house. Old medical bill sent to the wrong address and had gone to collections. It took a lot of phone calls and dealing with collection agency bullshit. But since the original bill has been sent to the wrong address, the collection agencies completely removed it from my credit after I paid the bill in full. I doubt they will remove it for anything less than full payment and that’s only because it was sent to the wrong address.
  13. Yeah. That’s my point.
  14. Gave my ticket to a buddy and didn’t go to or watch the game. My takeaway on Shaka Smart basketball is we’re a good team when we shoot 40% or more on threes or someone has a career game. Otherwise we suck. Unfortunately shooting threes isn’t a strength but has become the default offense cause we don’t have an effective offense.
  15. There’s enough people who have followed recruiting long enough to know there is a strong correlation between Shepherd’s behavior during his recruitment (flakiness and manufactured drama) and him not meeting his potential. Still hope we sign him.
  16. There's a glut of FBS schools, so I would characterize any schools dropping down a division as a correction. Are schools like App State, Texas State, North Texas, Coastal Carolina, Liberty best served by being in FBS?
  17. Daddy’s gonna kill Ralphie
  18. Aren’t bats protected? As in, if you build a bat hut, once it’s inhabited by bats you can’t remove it? Years ago had a coworker who had a ton of bats start living in her attic, and it was hell to get rid of them because they were a protected species. Or some shit like that.
  19. Solid win. Good to see Hepa and Hayes get more minutes at the expense of DO. Shooting makes all the difference with this team.
  20. Boring ass basketball and no offensive identity absent a player randomly having a great game. Other than that, we’ve got nothing; there’s no system to fall back on when the shots aren’t falling. The closest thing to a system that we have is lame ass drives to the basket that rarely work because defenders sag off our perimeter players cause we can’t shoot and tons of screens that don’t lead to anything but more screens.
  21. Damn. 53 points. Fucking speechless.
  22. We just went through this with Charlie Strong. Wouldn’t be surprised if Lynn Swann has to hop on a plane to seal the deal with whomever they hire.
  23. Whatever you get her, make sure you get it setup to her liking. Don’t want her to not play cause the guitar has stupid high action and stiff strings.
  24. If anyone’s looking for a solid in home workout program, onnit has their onnit 6 bodyweight and kettlebell six week programs half off. They're legit workouts with thoughtful warm up and cool down portions. All in they take around an hour to complete. https://www.onnit.com/on-demand-training/
  25. Lots of problems, but they all come down to the lack of a consistent offensive system and the inability to recruit, retain and develop players for that system. And I’m not talking about one and dones when I say retain.
