What confuses me the most about this "college admissions scandal" is that they keep referring to USC as a "prestigious" school. Mar 14, 2019

        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)

        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.

        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.

      many albums sound good on either headphones or speakers. some albums you've never really heard until you hear them on a decent speakers.

        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.

        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.

        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.

      Tony Molina is on to something with these 1-2 min. songs. Foremost, they're good; but brevity makes re-listening even more addictive.

        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.
