Hurricanes Lounge XXVII: BURN THE NEW SERVERS!

[tarheelhockey]

Yeah, this is always one of the most active threads so it'll be near the top of the list anyway.

 

[Lempo]

Un-unstick my thread. Say you like me again.

Undo this hurt.

The accuser used the words that Lauer invited her to his office, locked the door, and "assaulted" her, so I doubt it was consensual, at least in her mind.

Of course there is always a "he said, she said" component, but when Lauer comes right out and admits "there is enough truth in these stories to make me feel embarrassed and ashamed" and that he had to "take a very hard look at my own troubling flaws", he loses the benefit of the doubt.

News stories coming out now and they are saying it's up to 8 different women now coming forward.

 

[tarheelhockey]

Not just the Lauer story but the whole scandal in general — it says a hell of a lot that there were this many women out there afraid to say anything until they were 100% sure they would be taken seriously.

Calm down there Toni Braxton.

With the changeover to the new forum software, we (HF on the whole) wants to limit the number of stickied threads. Since this thread is active enough that it would stay on the first page anyway, Dave, THH, and I thought it's one we could unstick.

Ajit Pai, is that you?

It’s like as if Hugh Hefner has a force field hiding all of this.

Hefner WAS the force field.

I would take the fantasy question thread, if you’re depending on one of players after the last decade to produce, you’re barking up the wrong tree

f***ing idiots who don't turn their car lights on at night should have their license revoked.

My daughter in day care.... they was doing the “Happy if you know it” song, and she goes no, crosses her arms and just stands there with a grumpy face.

Calm down there Toni Braxton.

[vorbis]

the music video for Un-Break My Heart is amazing. Toni Braxton is a widow in 13 seconds. THAT is how you edit some damn video.

It remains unclear to me why people don’t just turn them on and leave them on at all times.

That's prettymuch where I am, especially since I typically have to drive quite a ways on most of my trips so no telling what the hell I'll run in to weather wise at times.

With one of our cars, I do that because they automatically shut off, so I don't even think about it. They are always on and when I get in the car, I just start the car and go and the lights are on and when I turn the car off, they go off. With an older vehicle we don't have that feature (and I don't drive it as much) so I usually don't turn them on in the day light as I don't think to do it.

They eat the battery and the car won't start then.

I have this option with my VW Golf 4, pretty neat

Pretttttty sure that's not true with 98% of the cars produced in this millennium.
