This isn't really new though. NBA has had the worst officiating for as long as I can remember.

Anti-Vaxxer thread (New York Reports 1st Polio Case in Nearly a Decade)
SkinsFTW replied to China's topic in The Tailgate
I got my shingles vaccine a few weeks ago. Not the worst thing but makes your arm hurt, nothing like the typhoid shot though. Dizzy feeling for a day or 2, headache occasionally. Probably a nothing burger for most people though. I don't have a spleen so getting this one seemed like a good idea even though some Drs don't want me to get some vaccines while getting cancer treatments. -
Do they make loud gecko noises? The ones in the Philippines get pretty big. Like forearm size. They sit up in high places on our terrace and do that 2 syllable noise like they are talking. Sounds like they are saying gecko actually. The little green lizards get in the house sometimes and chase each other all over the walls. Harmless, unlike the occasional huge snake found crossing the roads.

The Random Thought Thread Vol 2---Read OP For Thread Rules
SkinsFTW replied to Jumbo's topic in The Tailgate
My parents sleep hours are even worse than mine. They are visiting now. They go to bed between 8-10 and usually wake up between 2-4. I don't even try to go to bed until 2. At least I don't wake up in the middle of the night like they do. -
2024 Baltimore Orioles: New Owner, New Hope
SkinsFTW replied to DCSaints_fan's topic in The Tailgate
They might have to bring out a Tee for him in the next game. .033 BA is pretty crazy. -
OKC got lucky as hell. Almost got beat by an 8 seed missing their best player

Where is this at? Those things love air conditioning BTW, at least they do whenever it's really hot outside. We usually have about 5-10 geckos hiding in the shade on one of our windows at our house in the Philippines.

No, everything was to be tagged as Y2k compliant and documented. The PCs had a program that was run but how do you test a battery operated wall clock for Y2k? It literally just goes around in a circle forever, the battery doesn't care which century it is operating in. There are no dates on it lol. Same with anything else including the 15000W HF Transmitters or the multiplexing equipment, all test equipment as well. That was the most overblown thing I've ever seen. For a PC isn't it obvious that all you really needed to do was change the clock on it to Dec 31st at 1159PM and then wait a single minute and see that yes, it now says Jan 1 2000? Did anybody anywhere have actual problems once the year switched to 2000?

When i was the department head on a small base in Japan around 1998 I was told in writing, then verbally upon questioning the order in multiple conversations that YES it is required to literally tag every single piece of electrical or electronic equipment, including fans, telephones, vacuum cleaners, battery wall clocks, coffee pots, as Y2K compliant. Nope, Not A Joke. This was clearly meant for PCs (which was dumb in itself) but it was for anything electrical or electronic. No amount of prodding for common sense would change a word of this order. Naturally, all of the people who would actually have to do this (lots of paperwork involved too) argued with me and informed me of how many hours of wasted time this would take. Yeah, I know but somebody might show up here and check our leaf blower, microwave, or our Techtronics signal generator, oscilloscope, fluke meters etc. That Y2K thing was serious business! I can't imagine being in an actual warzone or on an Aircraft Carrier lol

Audi Field to Host Washington DC Defenders XFL Team in 2020
SkinsFTW replied to Ron78's topic in The Tailgate
It's alright, better than some of the NCAA games. Beats pulling nose hairs and/or clipping toenails, IMO. BTW, DC just lost. The Donkeys just got a FG as the game ended. -
Audi Field to Host Washington DC Defenders XFL Team in 2020
SkinsFTW replied to Ron78's topic in The Tailgate
WTF happened to the game earlier. I was watching it, they delayed the game because of lightening or some BS then Fox switched to the other game and never went back. DAFUQ!!! -
Lakers gonna lose. LeBron just slipped in a puddle.

Glad to see the Lakers blow that big lead they had earlier. Keep it up!

I don't know when being in the sec or competition in college mattered anyway. You could go back and see that many of the best QBs faced weaker competition. Allen, Luck, Mahomes, Marino, Elway, Herbert. Lawrence played in the same conference as Maye, so did Watson. Many others as well Fact is one played in an offense with some first rounders, the other didn't so it more than balances out.
