Soups

Being from the rival school in LA, I had my fun with USC and its supposed shortcomings. However I do feel for the normal students there who legitimately are doing their best to get ahead aside from the idiocy of a few. It is usually about what you do afterwards.

Eh all colleges are what you make of them past a certain level, I skated my way though an ivy league uni and didnt learn shit. College system is a bubble and systemically rigged for the rich as is (private SAT tutors, prep school, crew/squash/country club sports)

Is Foosball a country club sport?

Counterfeit UTP cable is a thing. Had a contractor try to pass some off on a project at work some years ago. Deal with a reputable vendor is the best advice.

Thanks for looking out. I have some simple tests in mind for 'em, but I'd welcome any suggestions for verifying their quality (w/o requiring specialized tools). Hoping that buying them from an eBay seller that seems to be a reputable liquidator also works in my favor.

Not good for GbE or faster. Ok for speakers.

Liquid Platinum is a good pairing as well. Bobbin' along to Petty's "I won't back down"... wonderful!

My condolences tho to all who felt the opposite of joy buying from JoyBuy.

Instructions unclear - got baked, can't find the cheerios

I miss the “Flamin Hot” line of chips - especially Fritos. They don’t have them here. The spicy chips are not bad but kinda just spicy without real specific flavoring.

still on the hunt for baked spicy pork rinds. even though i'm sure they'll be revolting.

the musical equivalent of ONLY TYPING IN CAPS

You can make the argument either way tbh, but a pair of cheap studio monitors do staging better than any headphone setup ever could. The only thing my HP setup does better is plankton because having to run AC ruins any chance of hearing low level sounds on speakers.

There's also something to be said about "hearing" with your whole body. It's the magic of sound waves that even stirs the deaf to dance.

Most albums you’ve never fully experienced until you hear them on speakers.

I really hope the fight between them at 135 happens next. Whiney, slithery Dillashaw needs to lose his title.

Dillashaw really needed to lose this. Dwayne Ludwig was full of crazy talk about him winning this and then moving up to 145 to fight Holloway. He would be crushed.

Yeah, and as much as I dislike Dillashaw, I think he is being held back by his crew of delusional yes men. Otherwise, I don't even have a lot of optimism for Cejudo's long-term success at 135 (if flyweights are finished) much less TJ at 145.

also sounds amazing via stock Liquid Platinum.

I bought one this year. It's surprising how useful it is.

people lying if they say they've never wanted one of these. first project will be to organize our spices with it. next will be a few special 'kick me' labels.

My first project would be label it /Label Maker/

:)

I feel for you DigMe. But you know you want to fly back here just for another Butterfinger.

Supposedly we have a package coming from friends and it may have some. The package actually has to make it here though!

Did you see anything about the candy vending machine in NYC that takes your unwanted candy and gives you peanut butter cups in exchange? Brilliant marketing...

Woops, y'all in the sad city of LA can now believe the hype.

great to see a favorite ex-White Sox pitcher on the hill for the final 3 outs!
BoSox easily the best team all season long.

Where are shipping to? I shipped both of our cars to SoCal and then back. Basically there are services online that are brokers and they take a 10-20% cut. If you book directly with a carrier service then it is cheaper. Many options with open/closed carriers etc.

Shipping to WA from MA. Yeah, so far I've come across sites like transportreviews and that's setting my baseline. It'd be great to cut out the middleman - any carriers you'd recommend?

The only one I used was in SoCal and he went to mid Atlantic region

I'm guessing Prison would qualify as some sort of assisted living.

Now discover Leonard Cohen...

ironically it was my preference for cohen's "hallelujah" that fed some of my prejudice toward buckley's material. over it now, ha.

Doubt that

I love the post-apocalyptic story that Redd Hunter tells in 3 minutes here: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GIiBFpAl0V8

The Fall of modern society and technology leading to the restoration of community

also appreciated McCarthy's "The Road" for how it poses the post-apocalyptic scenario of whether/how we'll trust each other, when the alternative is to devour one another. Seems like a fitting metaphor for pre-apocalyptic life as well.
