  2. Sounds like a shitty prom, then. I wonder how their dates got home.
  3. 100K is a lot more money than most college kids get coming out of school and an athlete's expenses are a lot less than recent graduates. So if you get 5 paydays, basically you can get out of school with a $500K bank account provided you are smart with your money and don't spend it on hookers and blow.
  4. I wonder if pool builders will switch to fiberglass reinforced rebar (GFRB) or graphite reinforced rebar (FRP) and if it would solve the problem of pool cancer. It just seems like the lack of fly ash (or whatever they blame the problem on) is a bit distorted. On the other hand, it doesn't seem like concrete along the coast has consistent problems holding up over the years even though you would think salt water would seep into the rebar reinforced concrete.
  5. Which way does it go?
  6. Southwest Airlines Passenger Strips Naked Then Poops on Seat Summarize April 27, 2025 by David Jones A Southwest Airlines flight from Philadelphia to Chicago was disrupted when a female passenger reportedly disrobed and defecated on her seat as the plane was landing. The incident, which occurred on Saturday, prompted police to be called to Chicago’s Midway Airport upon the arrival of flight 418. The shocking behavior of the passenger left fellow travelers in disbelief. Southwest Airlines has since reached out to those onboard to apologize for the incident and any resulting travel delays. The airline issued a statement emphasizing the importance of customer and employee safety and commending the professionalism of the flight crew. The airline did not provide details about what happened to the passenger following the incident. However, the plane was taken out of service for cleaning, as per standard procedure in such cases. This incident is not the first time Southwest Airlines has made headlines in relation to Chicago’s Midway Airport. Last month, a more serious incident occurred when a Southwest jet landing at the airport narrowly avoided a collision with a taxiing jet. The National Transportation Safety Board attributed the near-miss to possible sun glare. Southwest Airlines, known for its commitment to customer service and safety, has assured passengers that it is taking the necessary steps to prevent such incidents in the future. The airline’s swift response to both incidents underscores its commitment to maintaining a safe and comfortable environment for its passengers and crew. The airline’s handling of these incidents serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of air travel and the importance of maintaining safety and professionalism in the face of unexpected challenges.
  7. Yeah about as bad of a call as a fade route. As much as we like to blame the QBs and the O-line, a lot of the blame really needs to go on the offensive coordinator.
  8. When reeling a fishing rod, rod guides should generally face down on spinning rods and face up on baitcasting rods. This orientation helps ensure proper line flow and line lay on the reel, especially on spinning rods where the reel is mounted below the rod. With that said, look at the rod and reel again - It looks like a baitcasting setup to me, Ted.
  9. Mertz should have gone undrafted.
  10. Man Arrested for Alleged Mass Shooting Plot Summarize April 26, 2025 by David Jones A 24-year-old Minnesota man, Mohamed Adan Mohamed, was apprehended on April 17, following a shoplifting incident that police believe was part of a larger, more sinister plot. Authorities allege that Mohamed was planning to execute a religiously-motivated mass shooting within a day of his arrest. Mohamed was arrested after he fled from a Mankato sporting goods store with over $2,000 worth of ammunition magazines, body armor, and bear spray, as per the charging documents from Blue Earth County. Store employees reported that Mohamed had been wandering around the store in an oversized jacket, medical mask, and hat, and was seen taking expensive items from the shelves without checking their prices. When confronted by the store staff, Mohamed claimed he was purchasing supplies for his AR-style rifle. Police were alerted about a suspicious individual at the store, but before they could arrive, Mohamed had already fled the scene with the stolen items. He managed to evade store security, jumped into a license plate-less minivan, and sped off, narrowly missing a pedestrian, according to the charging documents. Mohamed left behind a shopping list titled “Survival Gear List with Alternative” at the scene. The list included items such as a sleeping bag, gun magazines, pepper spray, knives, lighters, and bow and arrows. One of the officers who responded to the call recognized the list as similar to one from a recent investigation involving a local man who had been posting videos of himself brandishing firearms at the camera. The hashtags on these videos, allegedly posted by Mohamed, included “deathtoamerikkan&israelliImperialism,” as per the police report. Investigators traced a Sienna minivan, similar to the one seen at the crime scene, to Mohamed’s residence in St. Peter. They concluded that there were strong indications that Mohamed was preparing to carry out an attack within the next 24 hours, potentially resulting in mass casualties. Upon searching Mohamed’s residence, investigators discovered an assault rifle and two 3D-printed guns. Mohamed was subsequently arrested at his home. Neighbors expressed sadness but not surprise at Mohamed’s arrest. A former classmate remembered Mohamed as having struggled with mental health issues since high school. One neighbor, Dunia, told CBS Minnesota, “We grew up in St. Peter together, and it’s heartbreaking. We just started seeing Mohamed talking to himself, not socializing with us, with the kids.” She added, “He has a very beautiful heart. He’s a really good guy. It’s just, he’s not mentally, physically there right now at the moment.” Mohamed has been charged with felony theft and threats of violence, both of which could result in sentences of up to five years in prison.
  11. I know who I would go after if I was Sark:
  12. That’s a great pick by the Packers. The Texas staff has told me that he is an athletic freak and has all the tools for a long pro career.
  13. I would go to Schweitzer if I were you. But to answer your question, people are already fishing the Stillwater, Yellowstone, and Madison in southern Montana although water levels are low and the weather varies tremendously day to day. Around Flathead, it can be difficult to get to remote areas due to mud and snow. June will be fine though.
  14. True - we need an OL and a TE. Not only do I think we will trade up, like you mentioned, I also think we will end up trading tor an established OL before the season starts.
  15. Most of the price increase I would call inflation. Sometime before 2000 (I would guess 98), I purchased a Grand Cherokee - It was expensive at the time - around $34K and had a 3/36,000mi warranty and right out of warranty had transmission issues. So I purchased Hyundai Santa Fe with the logic that it was $12,000 less for essentially the same car, came with a 10/100,000K warranty and if I had problems with it - who cares - it wasn't a huge expense. So basically, I paid $22K for a fully loaded Santa Fe in 2002/3, and never had a problem with it. In 2012, I purchased another one for $28,000 fully loaded. In 2024, I went to look for cars and everything was starting at $45K. The fully loaded Santa Fe was now $44K, an Audi SQ5 was $62K, a Grand Cherokee was $59K... So the way I look at it is that previous price increases were pretty linear but recently there was a a huge spike in prices. And now the price of a car far outstrips the typical wage. I see very little difference in the $44K Hyundai Santa Fe in 2024 and the $22K or $28K Hyundai Santa Fe in 2002 and 2012, In some ways it is worse because it went from a V6 to a V4. Similarly, my dad likes sports cars. He bought an Acura NSX in 1998 for $75K and in 2022 an Acura NSX came in at $170K.
  16. It really depends on what you have going on and you have to do your research. my dad knew everyone at Texas Heart Institute and has a chair at UT Houston and he had heart surgery at the Cleveland Clinic
  17. Maybe, maybe not, now try cycling to the bar.
  18. ^^^ That’s a good pic
