OT: General OT Thread #43 - Fugu Appreciation Thread

Why can't parents just watch the game and just be happy to see their kids involved? They should be sure their kids understand sportsmanship first and foremost. Let the game p layout and your kid enjoy it.

It's interesting how there are actually TV commercials out there right now promoting good behavior by parents at their kids' sporting events. It's sad how serious some of them are. No, you son/daughter is not going to play professionally.

March Madness with no fans. Literally my favorite two days of the year, by far, are the first two days of the tournament. No longer. It won't be the same.

Well this is now the second time in a calendar year that I've paused my YouTubeTV membership. First time was when I lived in Austria for 3.5 months. Now the NHL have suspended their season, and Formula 1 cancelled the race this weekend (likely to cancel more in the coming weeks).

This sucks.

I'm working from home and my GF will start next week. There was a big ass postit note on the fridge this morning that just said Clean.

It has gotten to the point that my buddies and I are placing bets on how much Mecum Car Auction cars are going for. The sad part of that is the car auctions are all reruns so you could easily see what they do lol.

Just for something to make the day interesting.

Anyone know what they did to the boards that took so long? Server migration?

Took the WRX out for a drive on Monday and took advantage of the open roads. Decided to fill up my gas tank about a mile from my house. Some lady forgot to put her car in park and turn off the engine before getting out to open her gas cap, so her Honda Pilot rolled into the back of my car and broke both tail lights and destroyed the driver side sensors in the back as well. I find myself wanting self driving vehicles more and more because of things like this.

Sorry to hear that... but I still want nothing to do with self driving cars.

Yeah, I trust them as far as I can throw one. Other than requiring all drivers to take updated courses every few years I don't know how you can prevent these kind of accidents. Luckily I won't owe anything and have another vehicle I can use if needed.

I must be losing my mind, because I can't find the search tool on the board? Am I crazy or did it disappear?

The search function is currently disabled - issues post server migration.

Getting real tired of these spring snowstorms. Just rearranged my shed to put the mower up front instead of the blower but had to re rearrange it yesterday.

They used to have the greatest titles in here, glad to see it’s still the case. This thread used to be way more active though.

I hope sanity can return to the Twin Cities soon. It's a shame what happened last night, and it's also a shame what is happening right now. If anyone we know around here lives in the affected areas, hope you're staying safe.

The selfishness of these rioters/looters are now costing kids their food tomorrow...

Bad time to be out and about. If things don't settle down very soon, some more lives are going to be lost. In a mess like that, it won't matter if you're innocent, or trying to do good.

The problem is, this creates nothing but noise around the protesters who were actually peaceful and had a legit message to get across.

These rioters and looters are not "protesters" at all, they see this as an opportunity to create mayhem and get something for themselves. They achieve nothing but hurting even more lives than are already hurt.

Yikes, this is scary. Hope you all are safe.

The police station that's on fire, is that where the officers in question worked out of? Or did the geniuses behind the fire just picked any random one?

Thanks for thinking of us. This is a horrible situation going on.

Yes its the same station where the officers worked.

Peaceful protests have done nothing. It is going to take more for the myth of justice for all to even come close to happening.

This has been a long time broiling. Hope you guys are safe.
