Who is providing said stats?

Uh, governments, universities, non-profits? Shockingly, crime is a pretty important component of the health of a society so many different entities are very interested in crime stats. Those stats help set funding levels for LE and governments, fund grants for schools, critical to real estate investors, sociologists, you name it.

Someone who busted their arse and beat the odds to become a doctor is someone I would like caring for me. That’s passion for medicine, not birthright.

Phone mode today. Check email and Teams periodically and that’s about it. Hopefully, no one calls needing something.

What's a good while? 5 years?

20 years on and off. Play at least a couple/few times a month during warm months for the last 6-7 years.

50 year mortgages and 100 month car loans. Crazy.







Oh well, on a completely unrelated note. Did y'all read that thread about Musk being worth $750B?

Like pre-teen? Keep it to a minimum.

Once they've reached the stage in life where they need to start morphing into adult mode, yeah, I talk to them like I would anyone else...time for them to put on their big boy/girl pants and learn the ways of the real world.

Largely, people who don't cuss are like people who don't drink....I don't trust 'em.

how many lessons have you had?

Exactly zero. Why pay when I can figure it out myself? (My philosophy for the last 20+ years lol)

Y’all are right. Not only should I buy a couple new clubs to convince myself they will change everything, I should also spring for a few lessons from a local pro.

Hell yeah! Enjoy each day!

Just need to vent...

I've been playing for a good while but have never been a good golfer. I keep trying and trying and trying. Pretty athletic dude but feel like a damn robot trying to swing with 77 thoughts constantly running through my head. Same round I'll duck hook some and I'll slice the living shite out of some. I'll play good, solid golf for a good bit of a round and then it just COMPLETELY falls apart.

My swing pace is all over the map. I have very tight hips so my torso rotation is wildly inconsistent from not just round to round, but shot to shot. This also affects my posture and has me standing up at contact far too often, leading to more inconsistency.

The worst part? I have friends who are envious of my swing! They don't get how I can be so bad given the distances I hit and look of my swing. It looks great, but holy hell the little things within the swing are so inconsistent.

Played yesterday. Shot a fricking 105...my scores are literally anywhere from 85-105, just all over the map. So over it. It's getting to the point it's not even fun. I probably just need to bite the bullet and get lessons but I'm not sure it's even worth the investment at this point.

Anyway, if you're getting pissed off at your golf game, I assure you it can absolutely be much worse. :lol:

I just think OSU is solid up front and Beck won’t have to beat OSU with his arm if Fletcher is able to run the ball.

Dude, Patricia is going to make him throw. It's a no-brainer. They could get away with hiding Beck against A&M because A&M, for whatever reason, was awful against the run all season. tOSU doesn't have that vulnerability (that we know of). They'll stack the box and challenge Beck to throw more completions than interceptions.

Believe me, as a UGA fan who watched that bum choke time and time again, Carson Beck is the LAST qb you want throwing the ball in a pressure cooker situation.
