God damn science class in here.
I watched this one. I didn't really care for it as I was hoping for more jokes and less commentary. I guess that's just what he wants to do now. I'll still watch the next one he puts out, but I'll just watch old stuff again instead of playing this one over. I don't think I'm Dave's target demographic for this special.

This is my experience normally. I used to work with a woman who was a minority in the industry we were in and she felt like she had to try too hard instead of just doing her job. This led to her being a very poor performer who did not have the respect of anyone in the office. She then somehow kept getting promoted over qualified people. She then became an expert in office cliche which made it even worse. :lol:

I personally don't care of anyone's gender or race. All I care about is if you can do your job and not put other work on others unnecessarily.

re: Stranger Things S5 - Volume 2

This season really had potential. The first batch of episodes were pretty damn good. I did start to be concerned that there is still way too much meat left on the bone.

The part 2 episodes were pretty flat for me. Dialogue was too long and we didn't do much to move the plot along. Had way too many threads to weave to get to the finale.

Someone else said it in this thread but I don't feel any fear or consequence for any of the characters. I mean Karen would have been the easiest to kill off but they had her zombie MacGyver the O2 bottle into the dryer. I like the idea of getting her more involved but again, no consequences.

Now we have 17 main characters going into a 2 hour finale with no clear end point. I'm trying to stay optimistic that they can get it done but I'm feeling that they can't do it. I will be watching in the theater so hopefully they exceed my expectations.

The Will stuff is not surprising. I remind my wife all of the time when we watch something that netflix produces that they can't help themselves to force things like this down our throats. Again, unless Will felates Vecna to death, I'm not sure what the point of having a 10 minute all hands on deck meeting about him not liking girls is supposed to accomplish.

Again, there are too many plot lines to resolve in the final two hours. What is the point of Linda Hamilton? She's had all of 10 minutes of screen time the entire season to what, be featured in the finale?

There's still time, but they should've written out several characters so that we are going into the finale with the main group of kids.

No one fishing alone in a neighborhood pond is “getting obnoxious”

Ehh. We've had people with speakers blaring music, trash, etc. at our ponds. It's fairly common. There are also days when the weather is nice in which there are several vehicles parked in the street or at our mailboxes blocking access.

It bothers me, but not enough to cause a scene. I worry more about having people who don't live in our neighborhood walking around the ponds and having access to people's backyards and such.
Last year I read 22 books.

I've had a busy year and only got 10.5 in. I'll probably finish this last one before the end of the year.

I'm only on my phone though. It's easier to me to lay in bed before I go to sleep and read a bit.

I'll probably set my goal around 20 books next year. I know I have several that were on my want to read list this year that I'll be able to get through in 2026.

What's the timeline? Are we talking a few days or a few weeks.

I'm partial to scavenger hunt type things. If it's a few days, make a gift the first in a series that escalates the clue until delivery day. Maybe have the tracking number in the last one so he can see it come in. This does seem a bit labor intensive though with planning and execution.

I'm not saying that this is happening here, but the timeline with my wife and I moved faster than normal due to family health problems. I didn't have a good reason to wait and FIL didn't last a year after we were married. I'm glad we did it the way we did as he may not have been healthy enough to participate and enjoy those times.

There are a few wireless airpumps on Amazon that are really useful. You won’t fill up all tires from flat on one charge, but it’s small and you can store it in the vehicle with no need to plug it in to work if it’s charged up.

The one I bought was around $50 and has been really helpful in a pinch. Also works well on pool floats

Anyone have some way too early predictions with the new package next year?

I'm hoping that it gets a little more racy and less processional but I admit I haven't been looking into any of the information on changes. I will take recommendations on information to learn about them if anyone has any.
I had the thought a couple weeks ago about the house on Old Perkins across from Santa Maria. 11 mil and it's pretty sweet

In my line of work, people who say that they are extremely busy are either procrastinators or are keeping others off of their back so they can relax before the new year.

I watched this too and didn't understand why they quit feeding him in the second half. The dude was borderline unstoppable.

I don’t get it either.

I do maintain that he was a better NASCAR guy though. Marty and McGee is pretty solid most of the time
That's great! I'm glad it went well. Things like that are so fun.

Those are memories that those boys will have forever.
shite. My bad. Didn’t do my research. :lol:

I’ll leave my poor attempt up for posterity.

Does a packed stadium of 64,038 decide to boo?

Bonus question: does Tiger Stadium have more than the capacity of Vaught-Hemingway in attendance for WKU?

Granted, I'm mostly out of the loop with a lot of country, but in my opinion, last night was big for him. People like me have looked him up and see him now. You could probably come in here and tell me that he's way more popular than I realize, and I would believe you as well.

I have said this for several years but the ESPN app went to shite when they moved it all together instead of having a separate "watch" app. Like overnight it was horrible and it's never really gotten much better.

Is it just me or does it seem like there are way more IR and season ending injuries in football now?

Is it a product of how players are built and maintained now? Or is it just that the reporting is better and teams are more likely to rehab those injuries instead of letting a player play hurt?
