2.80 for a gallon of gas at Costo the other day.  

7.99 for two dozen eggs.

If I saw gas for 1.98 a gallon I would do this.

Helicopter parent?

Do you know if he had any interactions with Rhule?

 

I don't know.  I just know the Dad really well.  He is a total helicopter parent.  

I do know that Jaylen Lloyd's Dad texted/emailed/called Rhule about 4-5 times a week when he was on the team.

This is a smoker thing, not griddle thing, so sorry but I’m going to do a smoked braided whole pork loin this week. Had never heard of or seen before but it looks and sounds awesome.

That looks amazing.  I have never seen that before.

Metal food business…wait, s#!t, that’s kinda what it is 😲

We often joke that sure, we’ll just eat some metal and crap out that impossible thing our customer wants.

 

How do you feel about the firemen that teach other firemen how to do their job? Makes ya think huh? 😆

Yeah, I have seen them "training" the rookies before.  It is amazing, trust me.  

I know this hurts a bit, but we (educators that went to school for this) just want you morons out of our jobs.

So, If you did not go to college to be a teacher, just shut the f#&% up about education.  

That is it, super easy, super simple.  I know we have posters here that hate that but you need to just deal with it.  Just like I don't tell you how to do your job.  SHUT THE f#&% UP.

I would never tell @JJ Husker how to run his metal food business or @Guy Chamberlin How to run is consulting superintendent job or tell @BigRedBuster how to run is central nebraska lumber yard???  (I have no idea what you do)

But sooooo many of you want to tell educators how to do our jobs.  

This does not include firemen.  We all know that water puts out fires.

Knowing a kid is going to leave, because they won't ever see the field, and giving them some tape to help them find a new home is radically different than broadcasting everything to the world and giving other schools a reason to tamper with guys you plan on keeping.

I get this idea… But no coach for a power five School is watching 15 minutes of a spring game and seeing a guy run for 8 yards and thinking “oh my God we have to offer him $1 million start tampering”

I disagree with @teachercd a fair amount, but he's spot on here.  Rhule screwed this up.

 

So.... he doesn't want to put stuff on tape so kids won't get poached, but he also does.  Dude is massively overthinking this.  If he had offseason timeouts, they'd already be gone. 

Oh my gosh, you didn’t have to say it like that… That’s like how my mom gives compliments… The first half is ripping on me and the second half is a minor compliment

This is a good thing for NU.  Dad is a pain.

I've never met a single person in life that is a 'rule of law' absolutist, or if I have, they've been insufferable obnoxious dorks. There's no 'gotcha' in observing how people have differing degrees of caring about the law being upheld in certain circumstances. Who among us can claim they care as much about the offense of jaywalking as they do about rape? 

 

Why would anyone ever care about the rule of law nearly as much in the case of people desperately trying to work around a broken system to provide for themselves in a way that ultimately massively benefits me and my country (and is a crucial component of our GDP/economy), as compared to, say, caring a bit more about the rule of law when the most powerful man on earth and the richest country in the history of the world start disappearing innocent people who actually did everything the right way to foreign prisons with no accountability or checks? 

 

 

For some reason your post made me think of this

Cutting up fresh veggies is a lot more work, but I think the taste and especially texture is worth it if you ever have the time.

I did cut up fresh peppers.  The peas and carrots were frozen.

The texture is totally different.

i assume he meant gun.   at least 6 injured is what i am seeing reported now.

I meant guy...I hate guys too.  Guys and guns!  ha

My god, I guess some guy at FSU is shooting people with a crossbow!!

Wait, hold on.

Turns out he is using a gun.  I was wrong.

I guess I've always argued for honesty. If farm subsidies, price controls, and international grain deals benefit farmers and the greater American economy I will continue to support them (or ignore them, as 99% of us have done for as long as anyone can remember). I would simply ask farmers to acknowledge the financial benefit of this government/private business partnership.

 

Then I would ask other private sectors to admit they, too, enjoy many similar benefits of "government interference." Legitimate socialists would of course be angry that government largesse tends to follow lobbyists and donations, but that's a different story that everyone is keen to avoid. 

That would NEVER happen.

I remember people thinking Nash and Robinson weren't that special earlier in their careers only to now claim we are going to really miss them.  

 

Fact is, we don't know what the current guys can do yet.  Maybe the D line is going to take a big step back. OR....they have matured enough to now be ready to step into these rolls and be pretty good.

 

Guys like Nash, Robinson and Jergens were all ridiculed early in their careers.  Now look at them.  The problem really was that they were needed to be out there before they really were ready to shine. The vast majority of linemen need that time to mature and develop.  Hopefully, this year's guys have had time to develop and can produce.

I thought Nash would be horrible, as usual, I was wrong.  

The 3 man front helped Ty out so much.

But in the end, "get old and stay old" is how the portal should be used and losing two guys that were 5th or 6th year D-lineman is going to be really hard to replace.  Just their size and "old man strength" will be hard to replace.  

It doesn't mean the DL will be bad but it won't be like last year where basically running against the NU DL in 3rd and short or 4th and short was impossible.  

I did steak stir fry.

I boiled up rice and then let it sit uncovered for the day in the fridge.

I oiled up the griddle added the rice, and a mix of soy, hoisin sauce, garlic and sugar, let that cook up.  Then I tossed in 3 eggs, mixed it all up.

While that was going on, I had a bag of frozen veggies on the other half of the griddle. 

Later I added some diced up stir fry steak, mixed it all in and tossed on some yum yum sauce. 

For about 15 dollars it made 3-4 meals.  It was really good. 

I think Van Pops played in 4 games last year.

But it really doesn't matter.  Fans were spoiled last year with Robinson and Nash.  It will not look like that at all this year.  The defense will be taking a very big step back when it comes to stopping the run.

As a parent, I can assure you that as long as our kids act like disrespectful little a-holes they will be grounded with no phone.  Trump can sit in his room and say it's all China's fault if he wants; it's not going to make anything better until he figures out that he is, in fact, the problem.

Sorry, I should have been more clear.  I am talking about the classic "You are grounded for life" and/or "I am sending you to BoysTown" bit that parents say and clearly never follow through on.

f#&% prom. I order some Rx from a Canadian pharmacy, shipped out of India, sometimes via Hong Kong, then through Belgian or Brussels post to my house.

 

I buy a 3 month supply so 4x year. Cost has been running $280ish. The equivalent drug in US is about $750/mo. Saves me $1970 every 3 months. Tariffs will increase my cost likely by at least whatever the tariff is, assuming they can still ship them. It is a generic that is available everywhere else in the world except the US because our FDA is protecting the name brand drug.

 

Trump can go f#&% himself.

How do you order from canada?  I tried that before and could not get it done but this was like 10 years ago.

That is what cult members do.  Their blind loyalty to the cult leader blinds them from truth and from ever admitting they are wrong.  Notice that one of Trump's life codes is to never apologize or admit you are wrong.  It is how he was taught and his cult members live by his example.

I guess now we know his true gender:  Female

1.  China now sounds like a pissed parent and as we all know a pissed off parent only stays pissed off for a short time because "grounding" your kids is actually a lot of work and annoying.  The trump also sounds like a pissed off parent.  

2.  There are going to be so many pissed off high school students that are waiting on things to get shipped for prom!!

That's understandable, depending on what the cars are.

 

1) Every day car to drive to work...etc.

 

2) Pickup for when you have to haul something.  Could be a cheap old junker.  

 

2b) Classic fun car (if you're into that kind of thing).

That is true.

I know people making 60k a year with truck payments at 800 or more a month. My roommate in 2022 had a payment of 875. Put less than 1k down. He made maybe 70k a year. Crippling debt is as American as apple pie. 

 

I just bought a new ram. I put down a very large sum and have 300 dollar monthly payments and feel stupid for even doing that. Gonna eat rice and beans until that is all done.

I had a buddy that had TWO cars at once!  And he was only one human being!  Two cars and two car payments.
