@Moiraine You can control the posts!  YOU HAVE THE POWER

Dude's getting burnt

He looks slow.  Just got torched again.  Not the player I thought he'd be.  

How many of Riley's recruits were as good as advertised? 

@RedDenver I can't burp on command very well at all but then again I've never really seen the purpose in trying to burp when I don't need to. There's no problem when it's required though.

Only when drinking beer.

I used to be able to. Like @ZRod said, just swallow air and belch it out.  I think that's a question of ab strength, because I just tried it for the first time in 20 years and I couldn't do it.

1.  I almost had to turn it off when the dog was pulling the pups around with her chain.  2.  I hate that any dog is on a chain outside giving birth (and that was a full bred cocker, so Im sure they were breeding her for $$$). 3.  A lot of people around the world should watch this not for the sweet animal story, but the valuable lesson they could learn by Miss Kitty's example about being kind to all, not judging because of color/sex/creed/politics/orientation etc.

I loved that movie!

That's a goddamn travesty! Excellent movie!

Look look, I got Hooky! 

Stupid auto correct. 

*Looky looky!

I think it depends on the state. I’m in Louisiana and cannot establish a Bovada (or other) account 

Oooh....I guess you did specify "legally". I guess I'm not sure what, if any, is really legal. Technically I think it depends more on what is legal where you are than on what site you use. Technically it was illegal for me to place bets off shore but they don't report to anyone so....

Legally, you go to one of the 4 states that allows sports betting and bet there.   Technically, as of now, there are no legal sites to place wagers.

XD that was pretty great

Good job  way to rep the 402.

Going on the pro circuit?

NUance you crack me up!

@NUance obviously just watched the Metal Head episode of Black Mirror.

Ha ha!  I did watch that a while back.  That was dark.  

Did you get payed?

Obligatory.

I have a friend that emailed Amazon about this one time.

Kind of reminds me of Norm's "oh, Google" bit. 

Plz don’t wish away my summer.  

Okay but we're all going to have to hold hands in a big circle and concentrate and a few of us may levitate in the process.

Just need some Pym particles.

@JJ Husker  Yes but brute strength is cheating. And good idea, I'll have to use that.

@Redux don't think we have any. He didn't use anything I didn't already have on the floor. The thing is the end I was trying to stop from turning is only maybe 3mm thick (and round - how is this not in out of context topic yet?) so it was super hard to get a handle on.

Use a flat head screwdriver to pry up the edge of the round head to create enough friction to prevent the bolt from turning.

@huKSer tried it - and I have a very thin flathead. I couldn't get anything to fit underneath.

I have this in Hunter Green. It's quite comfy.

This'll go perfect with my White Claw koozie insulator.

@The Dude your neighbors will be relieved.

Sad really, trying to scam someone especially that age. Great ending

Sweet story, love it when slimeballs get their comeuppance.

Horrible start to a story that had a great ending!

that was good.  thanks for sharing

@Comfortably Numb yes. And they trade furs and chickens. Grains too.

They have good sushi too!  And some cool beers

My wife is allergic to corn and soy, so Whole Foods was one of the only places we could get a lot of stuff, especially sauces and canned goods. But around Denver the regular grocery stores have started carrying a lot more stuff we can use. And Sprouts is really good although small selection. Plus Amazon bought Whole Foods and, from people I know who work there, are reducing the quality of the food while keeping similar prices, so we've mostly stopped going to WF now.

@man eating mastodon  lmao.

Sure she has it made, but do they feed her a carrot every day?  Nei-ei-ei-eigh!

So mean! Her sister's a lil purtier.

80 is about the point where I start to sweat after a while (depending on humidity), so 78 or so is about my upper limit during the summer. The area where my computer sits tends to be the hottest part of my home, though, so the thermostat might be at more like 74.

Depends on who is paying the bill.

Otherwise, whatever you are comfortable with.

78 Degrees in Summer

72 Degrees in Winter 

Convince me otherwise. 

@ZRod I'd eat sushi every day, if I could.

Thank you for proving my point 

I don't know what this is....

I remember when weed made things like this make sense 

It's better than Wyoming. Sorry, I know there are fans here, but grinding it out vs New Mexico St is tediously boring. 

@brophog, it's not that I'm fascinated by Wyoming's style, I'm more interested in this NMSU train wreck.  It's so hideously, hideously bad, I can't look away.  I almost feel bad for them.

I wonder if Wyoming just tried to play "red rover" like kids do if NMSU could get off the line of scrimmage.

Switch to desktop view

Same. Mobile is completely unusable.

@Redux switching to desktop works, but the majority of folks won't figure that out.

Great way to lose a TON of page views. Super counterproductive.

Nobody:

Moiraine:  This meme is dumb.

Yeah can't watch.

he trained on this mountain for 2 years using ropes to find the ideal path for this....and he made it safely up the mountain in 4 hours...but still  crazy to do that.  

@knapplc @huskered17 @commando

Some people who've studied him based on interviews and what he does for a living think he might be on the autism spectrum which they claim explains why he does/is able to do what he does. Also:

Neuroscientists recently studied Honnold’s brain. They put him in a large machine and then quickly showed him a series of terrifying and off-putting images — toilets overflowing with faeces, mangled and bloody faces, a climber dangling over the void — the sort of stuff that would send most people shivering, gagging, or both.

 

It didn’t register with Honnold. They hadn’t seen anything like it. His amygdala, the part of the brain that reacts to fear, lay dormant.

 

“Maybe his amygdala is not firing — he’s having no internal reactions to these stimuli,” said neuroscientist Dr. Jane Joseph. “But it could be the case that he has such a well-honed regulatory system that he can say, ‘OK, I’m feeling all this stuff, my amygdala is going off,’ but his frontal cortex is just so powerful that it can calm him down.”

 

Medically, it would seem, Honnold does not experience fear. At least not in the way that you or I would. Or, if he does experience it, he requires a lot more to set it off than anyone this team of neuroscientists at least has ever studied.

 

What Honnold does have in spades, from a neurological perspective, is a tendency to seek out sensations, a drive nearly double that of your average brain based on their study. This pushes him, of course, but it also hints at something darker, something addictive.
