I could not more strongly disagree.

Every contender you defeat is a contender you knock out. Iron sharpens iron.


But to Lane's point, even if you win the big OOC games, there's still a hidden cost. The mental, emotional and physical toll of playing extra competitive games will rear its ugly head later in the season vs. teams that had multiple games where their starters rested in the 3rd/4th quarters.

If in a playoff game one team's starting RB has 300 carries coming into the playoffs, and the other team's starter has 200 carries coming in, then that can definitely impact performance.
I posted this in another thread a few weeks ago:

Some tips for those trying to limit the home invasion:

1. Turn out lights. Learn to embrace darkness.

2. If your neighbor is out of town, break into his house and turn all his lights on to draw them away from your house.

3. This one I tried last night and it seemed effective. Turn on all your bathroom vents and let em run until at least midnight or so. The swarmers usually get into your attic pretty easily with all the vents and crap in the roof. Once in there, they'll climb through light fixtures and bathroom vents to get into the living spaces. But they're not strong flyers or crawlers, so sending airflow back the other way will help repel them. I felt like I found less in my bathrooms than usual.




And as others have said, you can try putting some painters tape on your window gaps and at the bottom of your doors. This just feels like so much hassle tho, especially if the swarming season is almost done at this point. Had I known last night was going to be so bad, I might have tried this.
Depends. When it's this thick if a swarm, everybody's gonna have them getting in windows, crawling under door seals, coming thru light fixtures and bathroom vents. I'm always vacuuming up bodies the next day. If it looks like there's a whole flying swarm in your house, then you're fricked. Look up YouTube videos of what it looks like when a colony that's inside your walls swarms... You will know.

I just picked a couple off my pillow and sheets before I got in bed. I hate this shite..can we as humanity not find a way to curb this a bit?
I was in the shower and by the time I got out and realized they were swarming, my kids had all the lights on in the house. There was one crawling on my clean boxers I had laid out. Freaking wonderful. It may be too late for me. May you all fare better
I was meaning to text a relative condolences about their dad dying and sent it to a girl with the same first name in my phone instead. Went something like this:

Me: "Sorry to hear about your dad"
Her: "Huh?"
Me: "I just heard from John that he passed"
Her: "WHAT!? John who? I just talked to my dad this morning. Are you screwing with me??"
Me after figuring it out: "WHOA I'm so sorry, I meant this for a different Ellen. Your dad is fine, as far as I know."


Fortunately she thought it was hilarious.

Then she says "No problem. Sorry to hear about other Ellen's dad tho"
Me: "Oh yeah he's definitely dead. "
That was exhilarating. Can't wait to go above $4 again next quarter

:lol: Retard. Carjacking a car that has no gas in it to get away.

And yes I realize the story says he jumped into the truck he was driving to get away, but he was probably on E in the truck too.

This thread is incredible.

Couple years ago I had just finished putting a baby to sleep and I walk out of the bedroom to hear the weather going crazy outside, so I go to open the backdoor to let the dogs back in and when I opened the door the sudden blast of wind blew it open so hard I lost control and nearly fell down. Dogs came hauling arse inside like they were spooked. Got the door back closed and got the family in a safe spot. Wake up the next morning to see the national weather service announced a little EF1 tornado and I looked at the course it took and timeline and it was basically two houses down from me at the exact moment I casually opened my backdoor :lol:. Can't imagine if an EF5 or something touches down near you with no warning. Scary stuff.

At least with hurricanes you have a week+ to watch the projections and make plans, even if the projections aren't very accurate. It would scare the crap out of me to live in one of the places where tornados touch down with little to no warning on a regular basis.
Yeah I've been getting an uptick in the same stuff lately. It's easy enough to ignore, but from time to time I ignore something legit and that ends up biting me.
:lol: :lol: Yes! Halfway thru the video I was thinking "Dang, can't believe this many dogs sprinting full speed through a tiny opening didn't cause a wreck," and then there it was right into the camera, complete with a distorted blurry view of legs up in the air with dirt flying from the accident. Just awesome.

It's also possible that Iranian media, who is known for lying, is lying. They probably don't want to look like they're caving either.

Don't get me wrong, trump could very well be bullshitting, but Iranian media isn't the best source. Truth probably somewhere in the middle.

Second the giraffe tools. Have a reel that stakes into the ground. It's compact, nice looking, works well. However, I did have to replace the nozzle. The nozzle that came with mine was only plastic and broke. Got a metal nozzle and it's been perfect since then.
Same here. Rest of lithium sector is green, so it's SLI specific. Don't know if it's some sell the news algos or what. I'll grab some more shares, this is dumb, especially now that we're below the price where the offtake was announced. I think it does a steady climb back to green by end of day.
Just to try and spin current events into a positive for SLI...

Maybe the recent choking off of China's oil supply will hinder some of their lithium miners' production, thereby lowering worldwide supply and raising lithium prices.
One thing I've wondered about is what happens if AI screws something up (which it frequently does), then what? Using lawyers as an example, if your lawyer screws something up, you can go after his malpractice insurance. If AI screws up, you're just holding the bag, right? I guess a new insurance product would evolve for such a thing, but still a pretty big risk at the moment to completely trust AI.

OK, that's fine. But that's not what you said in your original post. You said specifically because it had Trump's name on it, you wouldn't touch it. Which does not sound like a decision based in logic or reason, but rather an emotional decision. Which is dumb. So I asked if you would forego doing something in your kid's best interest purely out of your own personal vendetta against a man who has no idea, nor does he care, if you don't use this account? If you have a kid that is eligible for the seed money, you'd be legitimately retarded to pass up the free money just because ORANGE MAN BAD even if you don't want to contribute any additional funds yourself.

Nowhere in your incoherent rambling did you make any valid point. None of this has anything to do with Trump accounts.

re: Robot lawn mower

Posted by Neauxla_Tiger on 3/2/26 at 11:08 am to
I'm interested in getting one, but skeptical about how well they'll do if it's not a perfectly level lawn with no obstacles. My front yard is fine, but my backyard has tons of pine cones, dog shite, holes dug by said dogs, tree roots, toys left by kids everywhere. I guess it could still be worth getting one just to do the front and maybe part of the back, then touch up the spots it can't do.

Anyone have a breakdown of best brands/models, what to look for, what to avoid, etc.?
