I’m at the game and called that leaping penalty after seeing USC do it on the XP. It just doesn’t work.
The Valero refinery in benecia is set to close in April/May next year. I honestly don’t know how those cities are going to survive. This is the epitome of biting the hand that feeds you.
I watched last night on Nugs and Billy and Co. were on fire. The first hour flew by (though I was still at the office. For the last stretch of shows Alex has been on another level on that Fiddle.
I love my Filson belts, I bought one which has lasted me at least 7 years at this point. I found a sale on their website and bought four more.
They are. Washington/Oregon is the rivalry that is full of pure hated (and that feeling is very mutual). Civil War has lost a significant amount of the hatred over the years, though it had to as those early 1900s to 1910s games led to the 1911 meeting to be cancelled and then the next meetings relocated to Albany, due to the fan violence. But there were Oregon fans who supported Pat Casey’s Oregon State baseball team.

Why are they playing any in Corvallis?

Because the beavers wouldn’t have renewed the series if they didn’t get home games (Understandably). And from an Oregon fan’s perspective this home and home is a tradition that we as fans shouldn’t take for granted. Also as an out of conference road trip, it is the only road game on the Oregon schedule that can be a same day bus ride to the stadium, where the players aren’t on the road the day before.
Did you set up from the iCloud back up or from a direct data transfer from your old phone to your new phone?
A Portland team will likely be on hold until the blazers are finally sold as the hypothetical Portland team would play in the Moda center or in some shared replacement arena for the Moda center now that it would be coming up on 35-40 years old at that point.

Also, the ownership group would need to figure out how to work with the Portland Winterhawks of the AHL (that are very well attended for minor league hockey) and its legacy in the city. But it’s obvious that Portland has a pretty solid sports market (with no MLB or NFL competition) and an easily leveraged natural rivalry with Seattle (maybe Vancouver)
There are a lot (A LOT) of deserved criticisms for the politicians and their support of the homeless industrial complex, but a huge amount of the criticism needs to be pointed at the judges in the ninth circuit and the abomination that was Martin v. Boise. The handcuffs they put on cities and towns that did want to enforce anti-camping restrictions had been devastating.
Not an encampment, it was in front of the UGM (Union Gospel Mission), the big homeless shelter in that area. I used to volunteer at that soup kitchen when I was in high school. It’s sad how bad that area of downtown Salem has gotten, but it’s not a new phenomenon. That area technically has a skate park, but that has been a homeless encampment since the early 2000s.
The first thing I can think of is that your iOS version may be old or out of date. Banks (and stock brokers) will quickly stop supporting out of date OS versions or hardware. If this is indeed the case try updating to the latest version of iOS you can (the most current version is iOS is 18.4.1).

The other reason 401ks took off is the portability. The typical plan doesn’t have a vesting period, so an employee can look at the market and find new opportunities without sacrificing their retirement savings.
33 - Had to do surgery for my big arse underbite that was going to cause other dental issues if I didn’t finally take care of it. The thing that surprised me was just how little anyone cares.
Anybody checkout the duet album he dropped with Bryan Sutton today?

I have the Dell Thunderbolt Monitor and it is fantastic. I bought it to replace my dual monitor setup, that was annoying enough with my work laptop (MacBook Pro) when I had to reset it most days, and the monitors being uneven was slowly driving me insane. So I looked for a single monitor that can replace the thunderbolt hub and the dual 4K monitors. I also wanted the monitor to have a fast Ethernet connection for wired data and as many connections as possible for a simple audio interface. There were just a few that met my needs and this Dell was the best one I found. I have had it a year and am blown away by how satisfied I am with it. If you don’t need the kvm features, go with literally any other monitor.

I can’t wait to watch the biopic they’ll make about Billy Strings 60 years from now.


Already a pretty compelling biopic knowing his story, he just needs to continue to grow bigger
Discussion on Oregon boards revolve around family situation. Apparently, his mom passed away not long ago and there is another sick family member. I hope the best for this kid and hope he kills it on the field.

This feels really cheap but why don't more teams do this


I’m guessing there are only a few niche scenarios where it’s a worthwhile gamble, otherwise it’s a free play for a deep pass/Hail Mary and an untimed down.
