What are the most depressing songs you like?
Richard Buckner. Proof that tortured souls make incredible music. The Hill is an incredible album (not written by RB, but just incredibly emotional). His early albums truly capture his struggle. Lyrics for 22 The kitchen drawers were open Hot water in the bath And the phone call that you promised me I'd given up on at last I was only 22 All undone and overdue My friends all burned around me And the smoke was full of you But let's stop here for a prayer For what happened there And let us have a beer For anyone who's still here Well I didn't leave a letter I just wrote my baby's name On the mirror all steamed over With water, heat and shame And all hopes were long-time missing They'd had enough of me I found them hanging through the moon From the Hooker oak tree The knife was on the basin Wrapped in my baby's towel My friend the water let me in And I lowered myself down 'Cause you can drink and you can shake And you can dry up bitter tears But the first to pass right through you Will age you fifty years And you could say, 'well I don't know You got to love just the same' But I say all I got Was a phone call that never came The towel was lying open And it didn't hurt so bad There was red smoke in the water And all the things we'd had Now honey you don't need this heart Now that I'm dead and gone So dig me up and give me back What I never should've lost I was falling asleep You see I felt a little weak I closed my eyes and thought of you As the phone let out a ring

Sounds a lot better than dying in a hospital. Unless its having sex orgy with a chinese ferrari death crash. Hard to tell from the wording but its still better than the hospital.

Latin roots is the most useful class I took in high school. Was happy to see them teaching that in my daughter's school although not a dedicated class. Still great to have a general understanding of the latin roots to help with comprehension. Asian is a food, not a language.

I was blown away by the Overseas when I tried one on. Right now it's 3rd on my want list behind the Nautilus and Aquanaut, but I haven't had a chance to try those on. Still a ways to go before I get any of the three though.

Google "Do No Evil" meta thread
The other day I searched for a plumber on my phone and it came up with a number for the company and I clicked it and rang then played a recording that said, "Google or its partners may record this call..." I hung up and called a different company. Fuck Google wanting permission to actually record my phone call. I bet most people don't even think twice about that though.

Fair enough. Read some watch bluffs and they'll talk about anything under 10k being affordable. Currently waiting on a Halios Seaforth. Heard nothing but good things. $690

2017-2018 PGA Tour
That fucking explanation does nothing. Does that mean that Justin Rose needs to bogey a hole? Less than one stroke of what? How does DJ birdie the last hole and finish in 2nd place alone vs. tied with Horschel? Horschel is at -8. Is Horschel still playing? What is he doing on 18? Is he making a bogey?

2017-2018 PGA Tour
I actually think the new scoring makes sense. It might be lopsided in some years, but it guarantees the winner of this tounament is the winner of the FedEx Cup, which makes a lot more sense. Additionally, the players know exactly where they stand going into and during the tournament - there's no playing and hoping that someone else finishes outside the top 5 or top 10, etc. It's easier for fans to follow. I'm working and only kind of paying attention and I have no idea what needs to happen for Tiger to win the FEC - although I'm sure they've said. The average fan just wants to tune in and see who wins. It might not be perfect, but I think its a step to make it easier to understand and better for the players to know where things stand. What if BDC shot a 61 today - would he then be the winner? It would depend on a lot of different factors like where Justin Rose, Tony Finau, Dustin Johnson end up and there's no way to really figure that out easily without them telling you where they stand. Its completely dependent on other players who are finishing 10th or 15th or whatever. The new system will be more clear for everyone. I actually think they should drop the point system and just make it a 4 tournament, tournament. If they want to adjust the scores based on some weighting system for each tournament, then they could do that too. 1x for the NT and DT, 1.5x for the BMW and 2x for the TC. Just make the adjustment after each tournament so everyone knows where they stand, e.g., someone is -10 for the NT, then it is -5 for the FEC, same with the DT. The BMW would be -7.5 (rounded to -8) and -10 for the TC. So if they shoot -10 (-5), -10 (-5), -10 (-8), -10 (-10), they end up -28 for the FEC. With that method, the scoring is standardized each week to the TC and the scores are just the scores and the winner of the TC wins the FEC. The added benefit is someone can come from WAY back like Tiger is doing and actually win because his score matters, not just that he won. Right now, he probably won't win because Ricky Fowler and Billy Horschel didn't end up finishing with a couple more birdies to finish ahead of Justin Rose in the TC.

Affordable Watches
Gotta define affordable. Watch people can be crazy. Are we talking under $500, $1,000, 2k? I think 1k is a good cutoff for affordable.

I like the B&R too. The lugs are old school 40s and 50s. All of my Velis have a similar style and it looks sharp. Receive the Farer yesterday and it's a fine watch. Love the look, especially the crown and pushers. I'll get some better pictures.
