  2. You know, I come to the brewery to enjoy a cold one and the sunshine and a bunch of douche canoes come in wearing their Squawkeye shirts. Really puts a damper on the day.

      Sounds like it might have been a nuclear powered missile.  USA built one in the '50s but abandoned it because it let off radiation.  Probably not a concern for Russia.

  3. #1stWorldProblemRant: a lot of people in the 55+ demo must not know what AirPods are. People at my work (including complete strangers) will try to strike up polite conversations with me when I have them in.

    I mean, it's obvious they're headphones, right? Which comes with the innate understanding that the person is probably listening to something, yeah? Is it because they're hard to see? What other reason would a stranger have for trying to tell me why they're tired after walking for 15 minutes on a treadmill in the company gym??? This kind of stuff happens far too often.

     

    And the worst is when I'm actually having a phone conversation on them. People can hear me talking and they try to interrupt. It's like they think I'm talking to myself.

      People think they're hearing aids so strangers talk to you to demonstrate understanding/sympathy of your handicap.

  4. What if I told you that Nebraska's game against tOSU last year had the makings of a convincing win (17-24 pts) favoring the Big Red. I really hope the self inflicting play is behind this program. It would make all the difference.

      It was close enough that they probably won't take us lightly this year.  Even though they were coming off the Purdue loss, I don't think the OSU players were too worried that they would lose- even when they were behind.

  5. Our guys need to get their hands on some edibles.

  6. I would rather have a heat index of 114 than cold weather of some ice and snow. Actually mowed in the weather...love it

  7. I know some of you do home brewing, anyone ever try doing vodka?

  8. How often do you guys have your credit cards hacked? Seems like I get fraudulent charges on one of my cards a least every other year.

     

    Somebody just tried to buy a 600 dollar emergency pump withy info...

      I have a chase card and receive text messages for any purchase over $20 or gas station purchases.  I know right away if someone makes a fraudulent charge but it's never happened.

  9. Nothing, and I mean NOTHING, says excitement like watching youtube videos of people air spray painting a room on a saturday night.

  10. Milwaukee or DeWalt? Which brand do you prefer?

      I use Milwaukee and Ryobi.  I had a bad Ryobi battery that only took one charge.  Home Depot replaced it with a bigger battery which killed the trimmer. Repairmen said it probably overheated because the bigger battery allowed the trimmer to be ran longer.  No parts available so they shipped me a new trimmer.  The repairmen told me what Toe said as far as manufacturing.  Not much trouble with the Milwaukee tools.

  11. File this under things are out of control ridiculous. I had to sign a waiver acknowledging that propane is flammable to get my propane bottle refilled today.

  12. This recruiting season is such a whirlwind. I feel like I don't know who to key in on, or who to expect a commitment from. 

  13. Hoiberg is doing some serious work.  And people seriously thought we couldn't do better than Miles

  14. Natty Ice Strawberry Lemonade?  Anyone try that yet?

  15. Did you know: as acting AD, Bill Moos basically does his job in his sleep?  These stellar hires essentially take care of themselves.

  16. This flooding is insane.  For anyone looking to help and donate, this is the best place to do it:

  17. I thought this electric car looked interesting. Single seat, three wheel, 100 mile range, 85 mph, $15k. Not sure how it would do in snow being rear (single) wheel drive but it’s made by Canadian company.

  18. Not sure why but I’m going to the Basketball game tonight haha

  19. Would any one of you buy a Tesla? They look intriguing but I think they’re overpriced

      A coworker got his Model 3 a couple months ago.  No gauge cluster, just a touch screen display.  Overall quality was very good, auto navigation (stage 2) and other electronic gadgetry were cool and impressive.  I asked him to pop the hood to look at the motor.  It was just a trunk with windshield wiper fluid refill.  I don't know if they have hydraulic brakes or steering but probably mechanically simpler than a gas engine and definitely a hybrid.  The price has to come down as the federal rebate tapers off.  I have doubts that the replacement battery cost will come down.  Even if your work provides free charging, the price of the car plus battery makes for more expensive transportation which is only practical for work commuting.   Leasing could be the smart way to go until maintenance cost data becomes available. Probably the only place to get them worked on is at a Tesla dealership.  The Tesla was like seeing into the future and makes me think most cars will be electric in 20 years.
