re: Which car brand has the worst drivers?

Doesn't really matter when 90% of drivers are distracted while driving. I see it all day, every day. I try to stay away from major cities from 5a-8a because people running late for work are willing to kill themselves and others to get to their time clock.

Talladega and Bristol not selling out would have been a laughable take 30 years ago. Talladega itself used to have a capacity of 175k in the 90s, now they've cut it down all the way to a max of 80k and they struggle each year to fill 3/4 of that. The constant watering down of the product trying to get more cash involved killed it to where it is now - a joke.

That word drives women insane for some reason and I love breaking it out when confronting a count driver.

Good shite. I love seeing teams that haven't been to the Series in 10+ years making it back, or just a new team completely. Should be a fun WS.

Campbells chunky buffalo chicken. I'm as sick as can be right now - pretty sure I've got the flu already. Picked up something from someone at the wwe event Saturday, my niece is down at home as well.

Worked at a cd store in the Slidell mall in the late 90's - we got flooded for the soundtrack release, then again for the vhs/dvd release. We listened to that damned soundtrack for months on a loop until the Britney Spears/NSync/Backstreet Boys/98 degrees flood came then we couldn't escape the pop music. Turned a fun job into agony every Tuesday when screaming teenagers and weird 40 something mom's lined up for when we opened.

Couple of years later while in college I worked at Blockbuster when the ship was sinking. The one and only job I quit and just walked out on without notice. I was an assistant manager of the store and closed up shop, deposited my keys in the drop box with a letter saying I wasn't coming back. Walked away. Last ever retail job - got sick of being yelled at because nothing was ever in stock due to no late fees, then getting yelled at by management for not upselling 5 different things at the register when people were yelling at me for stuff being out of stock.

Most of this generation have less than $10k saved for retirement which is just sad. I have that in my 401k alone, plus what i put away in my own investments like SCHD. I do not plan on being dependent on government income when I'm ready to stop working in 20 years. Hell at my rate I'll be ready to quit in about 10.
Started working in 1996 under the table for my church's retreat camp - next summer i got my first w2 job at Taco Bell. Haven't been unemployed since.

re: My father fell for a telephone scam

Posted by Horsemeat on 10/14/26 at 11:37 pm to Jimmy Hold the Mayo

My parents get the scam calls all day, every day. I have tried to tell them at least a million times to quit answering the damned phone if its a city/state in the caller id but they're convinced that their doctors won't leave messages to call them back. its so infuriating - literally a phone call every five minutes for twelve hours a day.

Then there's my dad who clicks on every link he sees on facebook and there's nothing I can do to convince him to stop. He burns up a computer every few months from malware and viruses, but he's convinced he's not doing anything wrong.

re: Minor league baseball attendance has dropped for the third consecutive season

Posted by Horsemeat on 10/14/26 at 4:52 pm to Paul Allen

I've missed out on Shuckers games because I'm usually gone most of spring - fall. Winter is when I'm home the most.

Also, one corporation is buying up all of the minor league teams and killing the fun of everything as they always do.
