Enhance

Condolences.

Marriage.  It's not a word, it's a sentence.

Congratulations!  (And also condolences.)   

I really feel for this kid. I know he’s done wrong, but he’s obviously going through a tough time. 

Is it game day?

They found him.

I just hope that your next step isn't "I shot the sheriff"

@JJ Husker I don't think the valuation process is near as responsible or trustworthy as we would hope. If I'm being honest, my argument wasn't exactly foolproof. I looked up similar homes, their prices and what they sold for vs. their county valuations in recent years, but I also did it all sort of last minute and there were some obvious flaws in my argument. But what are they going to do, dedicate hours of time to my case? They probably got thousands of complaints and requests for reassessments.

Even the assessor's explanation of why they sided with me felt vague and straight forward. Literally they put one sentence on my report that amounted to 'I looked at the complaint's argument and agreed with them' lol

@Enhance I guess what frustrates me is, I know they base the value on comp sales from a set time period and neighborhood. I researched those comp sales and absolutely none of them supported their huge increase. I gave them about ten comps that supported mine and they just said no, our valuation stands. And they won't provide the basis on which they valued it. I could've taken it the next step and appealed it to the county commissioners but I didn't want to commit any more time to it. They were about $80k higher than my highest guess. They just want/need money and that is hard to fight.

I was at a conference in Texas last year and they had an event at the Circuit of the Americas.  Most of the time, they let people take the class and actually get to drive the souped-up Audis they have there.  But since there were so many of us for on one evening, they had drivers for the cars and we just got to ride.  It was pretty fun just to get to ride in it.  I don't know what it would cost to actually get to drive it but I think it would be a blast.

@knapplc just leave the TCS on and make sure it's got good tires 

If you don't mind dropping bigger coin there's Bondurant driving school in Phoenix.

Isn't there a road course already in Omaha?? 

Alright! Plus we get Archer reruns this week on FX.

Tremendous show. Can't believe FX hasn't done a better job of promoting it, because it has to be one of the funniest shows on TV right now.

Is there a site that has all the episodes from season 1 to watch? Hulu has one episode and FX only has 3

I feel the same, but buy it every year. I already made this years rosters for Nebraska tho

It's not THAT bad... I mean, come on.

It's that bad. At most, it's worth the price of a used NCAA '12, which as soon as '13 comes out, will be about $10.

Aaaand battle.net booted me again.

Battlenet is down currently. I thought we waiting forever to get a game that worked correctly the first time.

They did say that they were expecting there would be problems with the servers because of the large number of players. They'll figure it out eventually.

He's horrible.

I've finished the book. Save your $

That bad?

I haven't heard from fro - we probably need to consult. Is he still MIA?

Gonna change it to enhance90?

Just don't go apostrophist on us.

If you dont feed him he wont poop.

Puppies. Never again.

you or the puppy?

Hmmm. I may have to investigate this as well. My line spacing always gets screwed up.

Pretty sure I saw qwert ED.

Well that makes sense. You just don't see much crossover with Vikings, Bears and Packers fans. The ole black and blue division typically stays pretty true to form and usually seems pretty aligned to the city. I've spent some time in Milwaukee and ran into both Packers and Bears fans. There's some pretty strong feelings between those fan bases and I've found Vikings fans to be the third spoke in that wheel. Not sure there's another 3 teams anywhere that all really sort of despise two other franchises seemingly equally. It's kind of a neat and unique phenomenon imo. That's why it seemed odd to me to like 3 Chicago teams and then Minnesota. FWIW, I was a big Green Bay fan as a kid and still have a soft spot for them. But I also loved Fran Tarkenton and Walter Peyton. Sweetness is probably my all time favorite NFL player. But growing up in Nebraska, I kind of had pick a team because none were geographically natural.

Yeah the really tough thing is that as I've gotten older my Vikings fandom has sort of become less. I'm much more of a fan of the NFL in general these days; but, my fandom for other Chicago teams has sort of developed this affinity for the Bears. It now feels complicated because part of me thinks 'well, you like all other Chicago teams, it may as well be the Bears, too' while the other part of me is telling myself 'you've liked the Vikings forever AND Chicago is a divisional foe, you twit.'

I guess how I would describe it now is I hope the Bears do well and I don't actively root against them, and then when the Vikings/Bears play, I sort of pretend it's not happening lol.

DaaaaaaBears

Strike that...five beers.

You better take a cab to class! lol Good luck!

Heck, I used to have a beer or two while doing homework, sometimes it helps, but 5? I'd pass out.

You have no idea how good you have it. Best time of my life was college.

where do u guys live? im in the courtyards

STAY IN COLLEGE AS LONG AS YOU CAN!

I think the desire for speed has really changed the face of news reporting.

There's my obvious statement for the day.

Yeah. There are allot of tools reporting the news.

NUance, there are plenty of stories out there we don't hear about. I had one Nebraska journalist tell me they purposefully kept the Carl Pelini story on the downlow to avoid unnecessary attention to the program. If people 50 years ago had our technology, they would have become just as vitriol.

idk but that michigan and MSU game is going to be intense to see who gets 2nd and who gets 3rd in the conference....

Sparty is still the little brother. And always will be. lol

I feel like Bobby Brady getting into the middle of a chick fight between his new step sisters.

So that makes 28 NFL players arrested in the past year...

Oh Dennard. What an idiot. /facepalm.

Before you know it, the media will be all over Bo, saying he should have known and done something about this.

Color me unsurprised.

Doesn't want to show off that new 3-4 we're installing.

Has he let the media in for first practice of fall camp before? I thought this was the norm lol.

It could be that too, stumpy. I have had to leave it outside the last couple months. It did this about a year or two ago and it ended up being a spark plug so I'm keeping the fingers crossed for a similar issue.

Run a can of Seafoam through it.

^ Unless it's older. Then don't!

If you can't afford to donate, no harm no foul. I wouldn't have donated when I was in college!

Bah, I completely forgot to follow-up on this from a month or two ago. Just donated, so it's up to $414.

Nice! Well done.

UVA, Michigan, Purdue and Puke. UVA winning it all.

Kentucky almost suffered the fate of the Davidson vs. Goliath battle.   

You're getting 'C' blocked 

@Comfortably Numb was a telemarketer several years ago selling a competing phone and internet service to Cox. Still cracks me up recounting the many times I heard people tell me “Oh, no thank you. I love my Cox.” 

Sit rep: turns out it's just my phone that doesn't want to stream from ESPN. Signing in from a laptop works. 

@Cdog923 Yes. To me, college sports (particularly basketball and football) have so much tradition and allure associated with their stadiums. They're a huge piece of the sport and eliminating those opportunities to play in corporate environments just feels like an insult to the tradition of the game.

@Enhance I don't disagree. It would be a ton of fun to watch FSU at Death Valley, then LSU return the favor at Doak. 

And calling those 'neural sites' is a stretch.

That's funny AF!!

Did we do a thing?

The gif replies to that are hilarious...

@GSG Oh I sat next to them alright!!! Come on though, it's just like the urinal law. You don't take the even numbered urinal if there's an odd number total, and you don't take a urinal next to another guy unless there's no other option.

Cough, gag and blow your nose, as if you have some sort of communicable disease. You will then be able to take a whole section (your chioce of views) and put your feet up! 

Some people just have no concept of personal space and intelligently existing in life to accommodate others.

Another one that gets my goat are people who pull into a big (mostly empty) parking lot and park in the spot right next to you.  WTF???
