  1. Wouldn’t be too hard to slap a different QR code sticker over that. You could get pretty creative with where it led to..
  2. Dude on the right looks like Ally Sheedy in The Breakfast Club.
  3. I wouldn’t blame a parent for getting the kid a flip phone, but I travel a lot for work and FaceTime is a very important part of our nightly ritual. It’s also nice tracking their location when necessary. Plus the memes my kids send me are way funnier than the ones I find here. not to mention that if I gave my kids a flip phone, they’d throw it straight in the garbage as it’s completely useless for them. Mom and dad might think it’s fine for the kids to just text and call therr friends, but their friends do not agree, are not going to be returning those phone calls and texts. Texting and phone calls just doesn’t happen anymore, at least in my kids circles.
  4. I think the OP’s parenting method pretty much worked to perfection. Kid gets the phone, some social media accounts, but with heavy restrictions and mom and dad, check it all out every night. When danger showed up, they found it immediately. This is not an example of why kids shouldn’t have smart phones, quite the opposite. It’s an example of how to handle it when your kids do get smart phones.
  5. Me and the OP are one in the same. Bare with me here. Usually these things don’t phase me. Even though they should of used proper phraseology, I usually just give folks some lead way and assume they just didn’t have their expresso yet. Irregardless, I’m glad you nipped it in the butt.
  6. I bet she could post the same footage labeled as the end of the night on her last 5 first dates from bumble.
  7. And it’s not their job to clean the plane, it never has been. There’s separate cleaning crew for that and it gets done once a night or as needed during the day. But as with just about any other job in the industry right now it’s not exactly being overwhelmed with people applying to do it. I have no idea what happened on that flight, clearly the FA was over the line, but I really doubt that the actual delay was related to the rice. Despite her ridiculous PA, FAs don’t have that power and Captains wouldn’t care about the rice. Apparently it was poorly communicated but it was almost certainly a delay for something other than that.
  8. More snow around that area than I realized I guess.
  9. LTbear, I’m sure I’ve missed it earlier in this thread, or in some of their thread years back, but where do you live that you’re seeing all this wildlife? Is this a hobby for you or is it your profession? The wolf with the elk and all the bears don’t seem like something your average joe would stumble upon. Great stuff.
  10. Any communication to the principle is purely for sake of keeping them in loop as a courtesy, this is above their pay grade. Cops and superintendent is where I’d begin.
  11. Plot twist… All the Rainey St dudes pulled from Town Lake were also having affairs with bike racer dude.
  12. Saban always shits on his team pre-season to the same extent that we heap unearned praise on ours. Then he goes out and wins championships with guys like Jake Coker, Greg McElroy, and Mac Jones while we… umm.. don’t.. I’m guessing he figures something out and keeps it respectable again this year.
  13. Totally jealous dude. Hope you get off to a great start. Looking forward to reading about it.
  14. Years ago I worked at really shitty freight outfit with the callsign of Pro Jet… flying a fleet of Cessna 402s.
  15. Well it’s the same team that gave their coach a National Championship trophy just for showing up and agreeing to steal a hundred or so million from them.
  16. A family member gave me their old Mavic something or other and I was excited to try it but it required a firmware update and I never could get it to upload so it’s been sitting in my closet ever since. I should take it somewhere to get some help from a pro.
  17. Is the the only advantage to a robot the lack of hose connected to the side of the pool? Or do robots do other things a basic Polaris racer won’t do?
  18. Loved the book. This is going to be excellent.
  19. They can pound sand.
  20. Dammit, ok I’ll stay in. Knocked out 20 before bed.
  21. I’m probably out. I haven’t gotten injured or anything but I wake up feeling like I have to move a little slow every day anyway, I can never just pop right out of bed and start knocking out burpees. I tend to wait until I’ve had coffee and moved around a little bit, get the kids off to school or whatever. By the time my body feels like it’s ready to do some Burpee’s I generally have forgotten about it. Often I remember at the end of the night that I hadn’t done them yet and there I am at 11pm knocking them out before I go to bed. Other days, I’m feeling good and ready to knock them all out but I don’t want them interfere with my bike ride. I’m still doing them on days I go to the gym, but it won’t be nearly enough to make the 10K. If I wake up tomorrow morning, feeling like knocking out 30 when I jump out of bed, I may reconsider, but I’d have some serious catching up to do.
  22. I keep wondering the same thing. I tried to go that direction from the start and the bastards at Cody shut me down every time I brought it up. “It’ll rust everything, you’ll have to buy a new pool furniture every year, it’ll corrode your pumps and plumbing equipment, etc. way more hassle than it’s worth” they said. I wish I had stood my ground on that. Early on I quit using chlorine tabs and only use liquid chlorine per troublefree pools method. That has worked out well, and my chemicals stay in check all the time. All I have ever added is liquid chlorine and some acid from time to time. I’ve not had any algae flareups, or any chemicals getting so far out of whack that a little more chlorine or acid didn’t fix it. But it’s a hassle buying liquid chlorine all the time and pouring it in every couple days while I’m traveling for work. My pool furniture is plastic and wood and I think if the salt corroded the pumps at a high enough rate more people would be bitching about it, but they’re not. I’m sure I’ll make the conversion at some point, but I’d like to hear everybody else’s thoughts on your question.
  23. A Sale of Two Titties?
  24. Well that’s a much more succinct way to say what I rambled about.
