I can't believe the way he's dancing around his obligations...

I bet it’s because he’s just really busy.

Chase Young = Joey Bosa who?

Justin Fields, totally acceptable to throw ball out of bounds when not in pocket.

Gus Johnson has totally grown on me over the years. It might be because I think he is an Ohio State homer. Joel Klatt is really good.

I really like how fast the defense looks. Of course it’s FAU, so we’ll see.

NobodyCares O'clock, Canadian Standard Time.

A+

Roll right on past integrity.

Needs to slim down, commit, and get a Bowflex

This very excellent reference was not lost on me. Well done.

As for the Porsche, it's an automatic, which means betas like me can manage to drive them, so there's that going for it.

I check this daily and am glad to see the updates. Thank you Chris and Tina. hoping to hear some good news soon. Thoughts are with you all.

Agreed completely.

All this stuff is amazing.

JP, you’re awesome.

Wondering if you could run a wire (like an electric fence line) that would pulse electricity to shock the birds if they light on the cross beams?

Or I’d think fitting the birds with shock collars and then zapping them when they get under the lean to would probably teach them quickly not to be under there.

I rented a mini excavator and dug a 5'x4'x3' hole in my backyard, lined it with landscaping fabric, filled it with river rock, and ran trenches of corrugated piping into it from other points in the yard. It helped, and only cost the amount of the excavator and material mentioned above. It's worth a shot.

Except you’ve now disturbed the final resting place of a group of Native American shamans. And it’s difficult to factor in the cost of poltergeists especially in today’s rocky economic climate.

Smith and Wollensky in Easton could accommodate. They'll create a menu as well. I've held a few work-related parties there and always been satisfied. Of course, it's not exactly economical, and it's not in any of the areas you specified. However, it's classy, the food is good, and the drinks are heavy pours. And, Easton is a nice area to showcase for people, especially anyone who's from out of town.

I can provide more details if you'd like them - either here or backchannel. You might have stopped reading at "Smith and."

2004: owned black Z06. It was 3rd black car I owned in as many years. Vowed to never own a black car again.

2019: own black Porsche.

My opinions on 97.1 (and other sports radio stuff):

1. The morning with Golic and Wingo (and whoever else is on there) is not good. It's going the way of all things ESPN, which is manufactured drama. 3/10

2. Lebatard is the worst. Never talked about anything sports related. Never really talked about anything. Seemed like that show was just designed to have the hosts listen to their own voices. 1/10

3. Bishop and Laurenitis are fine. No complaints. Generally entertaining and worthwhile to listen to. 8/10

4. Rothman and Carpenter are fine, too. See #3. 8/10

5. Common Man and T-Bone. Hit or miss for me. Sometimes, I think they are funny, like when they played the "Well, I don't like Facebook, and I don't like the Internet" clip of crazy woman at town hall meeting. Sometimes, I think they are nauseating, like when they open the show with, "Hey, Man...Hey, Bone." I also find myself disagreeing with about 50 percent of the stuff they say. Of course, I keep tuning in, so they are doing something right. 5/10

6. Tim Hall is the absolute worst of all time. Not sure where to start with him. Rambles, doesn't say anything of value, veers off when he shouldn't, doesn't quite get the gist of most points/topics, and seems annoying. I am convinced I could do a better job, or at least be just as bad. 1/10 with anything involving him.

7. I actually like Cowherd. I find myself agreeing with most of what he says. I even like him when he says things I don't enjoy, like back in the mid-2000s when he was bashing Ohio State for being slow and outmatched by SEC teams. (He was right.) 7/10

Get off my nuts. It’s just a Toyota. Fucking fanboi...

 

 

Miss you...

 

*kisses*

None of the cars listed above were drive-able as part of the regular game (there were a few fan made patches that laid those cars over the in game cars). They were selected as the boring traffic to further enhance the supercar experience against the backdrop. You are a smart guy, you know context it important.

 

If you want to make a case of NFS not being a good yardstick you should have brought up the Rx7. The two other Japanese cars in the game are the Rx7 and the NSX. NSX is a strong case for a supercar, Rx7 is generally considered a sports car and not a supercar, and then there is the supra turbo right in the middle of the two.

 

the point of bringing up NFS is that it is a cultural reference point. They don't put ordinary cars in video games as playable cars with the word speed in the title - even ordinary sports cars. I am trying to make the case that the car was "special" enough because there are pop culture references to it, and appearing in one of the best driving games pre grand turisimo counts.

Sorry, I just Googled it and found those things listed as vehicles in the 1994 Need for Speed - I didn't know you couldn't drive them and they were just traffic vehicles.

However, I do know that other Need for Speed games had drivable vehicles that most people would say clearly aren't supercars (like an Eclipse), so my case that inclusion in Need for Speed shouldn't be used as a criterion stands.

Though, I get the point you're making. It's a sound argument. I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong, I just know I'm right.

Like obscenity, I'll know a supercar when I see one. I don't think people see the Supra and see a supercar.

Serious question, how many articles referenced the Supra being a "supercar" back in the 1990s? If you can show me headlines reading, "Toyota's Supercar" or "The Supra Puts 'Sup' in Supercar!" or something to that effect then maybe I start buying your argument.

Pop culture noticed the car before the fast and the furious because it showed up in video games like the 1994 version Need for Speed where the field was all supercars.

Ummm, that version of Need for Speed also included:

- a Ford pickup truck

- Ford Probe

- Pontiac Sunbird

- VW Jetta

- VW Corrado

- Jeep Wrangler

- Subaru Leone

- a tractor

I guess it turns out I went to high school with a bunch of supercar owners, since Groveport Madison's parking lot was littered with Probes, Sunbirds, Jettas, and likely at least one tractor...

Please stop using inclusion in Need for Speed as a criterion.

I like my profession (critical care RN); my job could be better.

 

Things I like:

-Troubleshooting and fixing problems. It's like being a mechanic, but waaay more complicated. The body is just a big, complex machine.

 

-Teaching people. This includes RNs that are new to critical care and the residents that cycle through our unit every month. Neither of them have any idea what they're doing, and I enjoy dropping some knowledge on them.

 

-The pace. I work 12+ hour shifts and most of the time, they fly by.

 

-Actually saving peoples lives (sometimes).

 

-I regularly see things most people could never even imagine.

 

Things I don't like:

-I regularly see things most people could never even imagine. There's A LOT of morbidity and mortality in our unit. We are the 4th busiest ICU and Trauma Center in the entire country. I've literally seen hundreds of people die, some quite spectacularly. This includes the 102yo woman whose heart is just plain worn out, to the 14yo kid who fell out of a 50ft tree and hit every branch on the way down. I've mostly gotten numb to it, which I'm unsure if that's a good or a bad thing. There are days where we will clean as much of the blood as we can off someone and then stuff them into a body bag, then turn to each other and say, "I'm thinking pizza for lunch; you guys want in?" It's not normal for most folks, but it is for us. We joke around a lot, most of which would probably be considered inappropriate, but, it helps.

 

-The pay is no where close to commensurate with the amount of work we do or the knowledge we carry around. Its annoying.

 

-Bureaucracy. Hospitals are giant businesses, but they're rather you not know that. I spend my entire day trying to provide the best care that I can for a person, and they spend their entire day counting beans and making my job extremely difficult. Do more with less should be their motto.

 

-Electronic Medical Records. Endless computerized charting. It's become so ungodly complicated to do the simplest of tasks because of the fucking IT side of things. I understand its supposed to make things coalesce more, but it slows my job down soooo much. I have to click on no-less-than 5-6 different warning boxes to administer a single medication. I'm sure you guys have seen the news about the shit that's going on right now with Mt. Carmel? This crap is a huge reason why. It's alarm fatigue, but on a computer. Give me back the days of tri-fold paper charting (never gonna happen...).

 

-The patients and their families (sometimes). A good chunk of them make it to our unit because of something stupid they've done. I do my absolute best to fix them all just the same. I do not discriminate nor will I ever. I will do my best to fix the rapist that got tossed over the balcony in jail just the same as I would try to fix Mother Teresa if she came in (and was actually still alive). But, the patients often make my life a royal pain in the ass, and families can be even worse. I can't tell you how often I get attitude from a family member like it's somehow my fault their loved one ended up here. Its a vent for them, so I generally allow it. But, people are mostly stupid.

 

-Monday morning quarterbacks. Its so ridiculously easy to make a mistake in this profession. Your mistakes cost your company money, my mistakes costs somebody their life. That being said, people love to question you after the fact about why you did or didn't do something a certain way. I personally, don't think I've made any huge errors in caring for people, but I've certainly made my share of mistakes over the years.

 

 

Overall, I do like my job. I make decent money, though I'd always like to make more. I will always have a job (unless I screw up). Its exciting and I thrive on that aspect. If I had to do it all over again, I'm not sure I would go down this same path. But, I also don't have any idea what I would do instead.

Great post. Anyone considering a career as a critical care RN should read this for the informational value/advice. Thanks for sharing. Totally get it.

Today I'm a superstar and my hair is good so I love it.

I came here to post this.

In all seriousness, I very much enjoy what I do for a living.
