  1. So pitchers in college softball can just throw forever? No inning limit? 200 pitches in 1 day, throwing both games of a doubleheader the next? What about tripleheaders? What if they threw 600 pitches in 1 day? They can throw the same amount the next day? What about a 1000 pitches in 1 day? Seems like that rule needs to change so that there is at least SOME strategy involved. I say that knowing we had Cat all those years ago and basically would do what Stanford did this year. Still seems like a shitty non-rule to have.
  2. My wife is from Mexico city and she says it doesn't really matter who is elected president right now. There is too much corruption in government and the cartels have too much influence. Reports yesterday in multiple cities of people trying to burn down polling places and obstruct the voting process. I hope she is strong enough to make real change.
  3. I really thought climate change would be incremental, like 'normal' food inflation prices at a grocery store. If indeed the ball dropped in 2022, it's been a sledgehammer so far. The last 2 summers have been hell and this summer looks no different. Home owners insurance on basically every coastal state has skyrocketed since 2022 due to wildfires, hurricanes, tornadoes, wind hail etc. Not to mention the ridiculous temps, both highs in the 105-109 range and lows in the upper 80s.
  4. Another whif on the forecast high today. Already 98 with 105 heat index and was supposed to be only 94. A bunch of fucking idiots.
  5. Feels like 103 in dfw. Its a sauna outside. I hope it dries out before Sunday
  6. What are all these people on questionable diagnoses going to do when the drug companies finish ramping production and the FDA takes semaglutide and tirzepatide off the shortage list? Is this how crack dealers work?
  7. It's here... today was the first morning since Sept where I sweated during my morning dog walk. While it's not oppressive, it definitely feels like summer in dfw now. Ac running a lot more. I think it's the abnormally high low temps that make it worse. A low of 77 over the next few days with high humidity means you never feel like you catch a break. I have a bad feeling our first 100 degree day is coming in the next few weeks. Hope I'm wrong.
  8. Definitely not as much into top 40 as I was growing up. Im 49 now. I guess I was probably around 40-45 years old when I noticed how little I knew about what the best songs and groups were. I still enjoy some of the hits that come out in all genres but not like when I was young. I'd say peak music listening for me was mid to late 80s. I was a taping off the radio with my cassette recorder fiend. I would be glued to Casey Kasem on Sundays. MTV, vh1 on all the time. Funnily enough my wife and I listen to the alternative radio station in dfw mostly now when driving. I like the new Taylor swift song Fortnight and that only came out 3 weeks ago. I'm impressed with her songwriting skills in general though. I liked the Morgan wallen county song, last night. That is catchy. But it's definitely few and far between, now vs when I was 16.
  9. The sequence to end the half, 8 points in 18 seconds was just ridiculous to watch. Wow. That can break a young team.
  10. Latest from noaa.gov. may 9 2024. La Niña may develop in June-August (49% chance) or July-September (69% chance; [Fig. 7]). Hold on a little more el nino. Do not want the high pressure la nina domes this summer.
  11. Don't go into healthcare. Patients can be... less than pleasant.
  12. 2 Tornado warnings already. Crazy storms.
  13. My God Susan you look great. If you weren't my sister
  14. Taking it one week at a time. I hope El Nino can hold on a few more months. The weather and rainfall has been wonderful. Do not want La Nina. If our first week with the majority of days over 100 can be in July in DFW, Ill take it as a win.
  15. The extreme ends of democrats and republicans will eventually end up meeting. Plotting extremism is a circle, not a straight line.
  16. Reading these posts all I'm thinking is how bad my homeowners insurance is going to skyrocket again next year.
  17. Markets dont seem to like stagflation. Volcker the rate up to 6% and lets get it over with. Id rather have a rate shock and 2-3 quarters of a recession to reset everything than whatever this is.
  18. Where is the choice...he will be convicted of crimes, become a felon and still will be elected president because that is how fucking stupid our society has become. It is going to be a shit show. Just pray the markets aren't in free fall come late October. If they are anything is possible. And we will deserve every fucked up part of what comes next.

  20. Market isn't gonna like Israel bombing Iran tonight.
  21. Bonds, and bond funds specifically, can suck my dick.
  22. Fill up your tanks today. Gas prices gonna jump this week.
  23. Elbow in. No big circular sweeping motions going back there like I normally do. Elbow in and straight back.
  24. 3 of us now have multi week shoulder injuries. The hamstring will get those remaining and this will be a spectacular fail. I don't even need to cheat with how our bodies are giving out 1 by 1. I just need to be the last one standing the day we do this it seems. We are all in the 43-51 age range. Update today is its not as bad as I was fearing. I'm gonna take the next 2 weeks off lifting but I can drive/turn the wheel, shower, carry milk, brush my teeth, and wipe my ass without pain although i have to be deliberate in my movements. It's my dominant arm that was fucked but I didn't think I'd be able to do any of those things today. Range of motion also improved in the past 24 hours, markedly. Not gonna try much weight bearing activities though for at least a week.
  25. No change in this year's appraisal but I'll be paying more due to homestead exemption and the 10% increase limit from last year.
