  2. Anybody else having these Joe Biden audio clips play on the YouTube homepage? I'm not clicking on any videos so I have no idea where the audio is coming from.

  3. I fought the law and won. My complaint I filed against my property tax increase was reviewed and the assessor agreed that I was being way over-valued. So instead of a 32% increase, I only have a 15% increase. I'll take it after remaining stagnant for several years now.

  4. Just installed a bidet in the Bateman household. Get at me haters!

      @GSG I'll have you know that's a patented design there, buddy. You owe me a beer now.


      @JJ Husker The one we got just has a cold water hookup, but I know there are nicer ones out there that have a warm/hot hookup as well. If you're not afraid of putting some elbow grease into the job I'd look at one of those!

       

      I'll say the cold water is a bit much at first but I think I'll get used to it eventually.

      Yeah, I got this model from Costco which is $10 off at $30 right now, Husk. Their return policy is awesome so I figured if anything went wrong I could take it back. But there are lots of similar models that cost about the same online.

       

      Yep, it's just an installable model that fits under the seat and attaches to the water line. Installation was very simple, took probably 20 minutes. Worst part was getting things screwed on tightly just due to space constraints.

       

      Very simple and the bathroom isn't flooded - yet!

  10. Got some old Tyson fights in his prime on ESPN2 tonight. Pretty fun watch for somebody who was far to young to remember.

      Amen on all of that @Xmas32. Thanks for the tip on that 30 for 30. Been meaning to watch more of those. Loved the one on Tommy Morrison. 

       

      It also help that MMA is on multiple times a week now. Tonight they've got a new Contender Series episode with 5 fights. There are frequently Bellator tourneys on Thursdays in regular times. And Fight Nights or UFC ___ most weekends. They've done an excellent job promoting their sport and filling the vacuum left as boxing has waned.

      Yeah learning Tyson's actual age during those fights was kind of jarring for me. I guess I thought Tyson was younger than he is. I didn't know he was already well into his reign of terror in the late 80s. 

       

      Found it interesting how much bigger (4+ in, 15 lbs, a whole foot of reach) Douglas was. See a bit more variability in the heavyweight class I guess. Douglas just had everything working for him that night. Gotta feel like the loss of his mom carried him, somewhat. 

       

      Tyson was definitely the last megastar in boxing. Sad to see it go downhill. I try to catch some of the bigger fights (Fury-Wilder II was kinda lame) but find myself watching much more MMA these days. ESPN+ has already paid for itself in that regard.

      One of them was the loss to Buster Douglas. I feel like I just watched history.

      I was stuck in the same house with lots of family adn some of them started having symptoms. We were just getting ready to go visit my grandmother who was receiving chemo at home at the time. I wasn't going to go visit her unless I was reasonably sure I was negative.

  15. Best craft beers you've had (yeah, come at me). Go.

      Didn't waste any time!

       

      I definitely need to tour some of the breweries. I've never seen any.

       

      Well that's depressing about the CBS. Don't feel quite so bad about what I paid for it. Found it in a convenience store that you could've blinked and missed.

       

      I am not an IPA guy either but I've had some that grow on me up here.

       

      It's really kind of staggering how much better the beer scene here is than Nebraska. Still have a find a good jalepeno ale though!

      @teachercd I like very flavorful stuff myself so I would be right there trying those with you. I definitely think the sweeter ones would be better, though. Something about a salty beer just turns my stomach in the same way my salted caramel protein powder eventually started to.

       

      @ZRod So far, since the move:

       

      Paid out the a$$ for some CBS, which I probably should have waited for, but is very, very good.

      Keep eyeing KBS at the store but I'm trying to slim down and have so far fought the urge.  Also want to try some All-Day IPA and M43.

       

      Founders in general is good. Quite partial to the regular Breakfast Stout. Porter was meh.

       

      Love Oberon as an anytime summer beer. Two-Hearted Ale was fine.

       

      Dragon's Milk is strong but I don't care for the taste. Prefer the Founders offerings for high ABV stouts.

       

      Milkshake Stout by Rochester Mills was good. Roak French Toast Stout was a nice treat as well.

  17. Does anybody have a good recommendation for a Huskercentric message board? I’m aware of Huskerboard and Huskermax, just wondering if there are any user friendly boards out there.

      My freshman Spanish teacher was the absolute worst. Just socially awkward AF and seemed to love making people uncomfortable. Loved to brag about her new Dodge Challenger she had recently gotten.

       

      Sophomore year I said screw that and requested the other Spanish teacher, who was awesome. Had a very cool grandma vibe. Loved her.

       

      Also my choir teacher was a total nardo we always use to joke about being stereotypically feminine. He was always mostly cool to me but could be a catty b!^@h and was prone to weird outbursts. Years later he got in trouble for flirting with a fake Facebook profile some kid made that appeared to be an underage girl. Ended his marriage immediately and he moved out of state.

       

      @krc1995 I think that's just a lot of history teacher. Our world civ teacher was like that. We had a lot of in-class discussions that took up the whole period and those classes were super easy. I wonder if it's correlated to also being a football coach?

      Everything has to be political anymore.
       

      Some chunk of society will refuse to allow us to divorce even something like a public health directive from politics.

       

      It's a bummer.

      I'm guessing Houston put down a couple plates, too. That is a big, mean individual.

       

      For my money, 11-Worth and Lisa's Radial Cafes were the best breakfast places. The latter if you wanted pancakes in particular.

      Apparently his son posted some pretty racist stuff on Facebook and that played a part in the protests. 

       

      Would it really have been that hard to rename the dish and move forward? It does kind of smell like there's more to the story than we're getting.
