    For many of us here who worked their way through it and received none of this due to our exceptional lack of exceptional physical talent

    Speak for yourself. I caught 1 INT in a UT intramural football game.

    Sadly the transfer portal UT list is going to have more players added to the OUT category by the end of the day.

    this Transfer Portal team is talented enough to win the Big 12.

  3. Theres a nightjet/euronight train service connect many major destinations if you want to avoid flights and simultaneously save on time.

    like the venice or zurich service to vienna is basically 8pm to 8am and the cabins are pristine.

    Day 4: Day trip to Kloster Weltenburg (oldest brewing monastery in the world) via Danube riverboat. Indulging beer nerd dad.
    Day 5: Flex day, because I accidentally left this out while planning. Furk. Either stay in Regensburg or head to Munich, do a day trip of some sort, or use this for whatever you assholes castigate me for leaving off the plan.

    Any ideas for the accidental flex day? Even moving at a relaxed pace, there's obviously a shit ton of stuff we could add on (BMW museum, Olympicpark although I understand it's being renovated, yadda yadda), so we could just fill that in spontaneously with anything that grabs their interest. I could go for an "oldest brewery rivalry" stop at Weihenstephan between Regensburg and Munich or a visit to Andechs, but it's not supposed to be about me and I don't want to induce brewery fatigue for my patient but non-beer-drinking wife.

    If you're already doing monastery beer nerd, swing by Stift Engelszell further down the Danube right on the DE-AT border. For a long time it was the 7th trappist brewery in the world, and the only one outside of Belgium except Koningshoeven.

    Technically it's no longer trappist because the monastery had just dissolved, but a family bought the facility and is still making the same beers there.

    Further into Austria near Linz you could rent a Caterham sports car in Saxenegg and poot around. It's the only place in the continent to do that.

    Every fall the local historical society sets up a cemetery stroll. The largest local cemetery in Alabama dates back to the 1700's. Various people including myself portray and discuss almost 100 of the people buried there. Went to the website to see the photos. Some clueless person decided to post about 100 photos - all in black and white.

    did you see armybrat's classmates in there?

    All the super bugs hang out in the hospital hallways. One thing that I can always count on - getting sick when I go to the hospital. Took home RSV last time I was there (visiting my mom). Shoulda wore a mask.

    Hoping for the best for Jordan. Take nothing for granted. Ugh.

    If you want some scary numbers, about 100k annual deaths are from hospital-acquired infections (“nosocomial infections”) and some 250k overall are caused by medical interventions itself eg unintentional errors (“iatrogenesis”)

    I was at the local Honda dealer a few years ago buying a 4-wheeler for my son. The salesman and I went back and forth until he finally said that he would have to go ask the "business manager" to go any lower. He came back and said, "Sorry, that is as low as I can go. I cannot go any lower". To my advantage another salesman was on the phone in the adjacent cubicle and he was talking rather loud and he agreed on a deal for the same 4-wheeler that I was trying to buy at a lower price than what my salesman was offering. I just looked at my salesman. He was pissed because he just heard what I had heard. I walked out with a sweet deal on a 4-wheeler.

    what an asshole. did you switch sales person so the other dude get the commission instead

    Going through my dad's stuff after he passed last March we found at least three medium sized totes of old power cords, cables, and phone extensions. I say at least three because I'm still running across loose ones and small boxes of them. He had two entire totes containing owner's manuals on everything from telephones to boat motors. Power tools, televisions, computers, monitors, electric knives, electric razors, you name it. He kept the manuals on everything, going back to the 50s. It's amazing. And I have to dispose of it all.

    My wife and I are gradually but definitely reducing our junk like that so that our kids don't have to go through the same thing when we depart this mortal coil.

    there’s a made-for-SyFy channel movie script in this, about a dead guy who still lives on in a RJ-45 telephone wire tangled in his kids junk pile

    There was an article on Bloomberg that said boomers are passing down shit that their kids don’t want. Got me thinking wtf am I gonna do with an English tea set, a carved elephant tusk and a bunch of ornamental pewter plates and goblets.

    Sell it to other boomers before they die.

  11. How much do you suppose you dote on your kids compared to the entire population?

    I’d say im 90th percentile, and the wife at 85th due to her being more disciplinarian at times.
