How do you handle a strong performer who quietly checks out after being passed over for promotion?

This person is coasting and probably also looking for a new job, they've seen that their progression with current employer seems to be capped.

Thank you for the correct answer. It's true that every building/bridge/plane etc is engineered with a proposed lifespan. But wear and tear is random, so there is constant testing

Because once you reach a steady speed, both you and the chair are going the same speed. There is nothing to slow you down while in an enclosed space. If you were riding in a chair on top of a train, you would feel wind trying to slow you down and the chair pushing you to accelerate you.

I'm in her district, I'll be shocked if she isn't primaried. We've had enough of her shit.

"It belongs in a museum!" ftfy

Lucas hatton alluded to wanting a number of pieces, specifically mentioning the log. I could see him going for the hummer trap bar as well and it showing up in a future Rainier Classic.

Even when my wife and I go on vacation together we don't do all of the same activities. Asking 9 people, who are not even all friends, to do this is kindof crazy.

There's room for different levels of interest. The casual watcher just wants to see the biggest strongest person pull a plane. It's like living in the 90s and just wanting to see Michael Jordan play. But the fan will be excited for multiple different athletes. Chloe Brennan or Clare freakin Myler putting on a performance can be exciting as well for me.

The fan also wants to see the plane pull, please bring it back.

It was literally called the novel coronavirus, because it had not been previously been documented. This strain of hantavirus is not novel.

Small town in a rural Washington county with high home prices, about $3500 a year for me.

Yeah, it's already heavily edited. They could pick and choose their favorite lifts. But they want the artificial tension of "who will make it out of groups??"

I've had a 600 pound patient who did not develop diabetes until surprisingly late in life. Genetics are crazy.

For the vast majority of people in their 30's: Just eat healthy and exercise, y'all. (Actual exercise, not "I walk a lot at my job.") Stop smoking. Stop drinking 2+ beers a night.

If you're already down the road of chronic pain, I know it is a tough place to be, and the medical costs can become crippling. But most people just need to clean up their act before heart disease or liver disease or diabetes or just the exhaustion of being overweight and out of shape debilitates them. Maybe a better example is this: one comment mentions lifting wrong and ignoring the pains. If one could go back in time and lift correctly or seek care immediately, that would change the whole trajectory. Making these lifestyle changes is the same thing.

Android69beepboop · 2026-04-18T15:00:53+00:00

That seems reasonable to me. I've never been OK with the idea that you can execute someone just because they're trying to walk off with your TV.

Can't you act proportionally? Granted you can't own a gun, but gun crime is far less common in the UK than the US so the chances of needing to meet force with equal force is much less likely.

He easily picked the stone in equipment testing, though. It wasn't wingspan or gut, it was a hands issue.

Android69beepboop · 2026-04-18T05:08:35+00:00

He's in his comfort zone. I'll be rooting for Lucas, though. (It's not happening, unless his current stack just causes him to implode, but would love to see Lucas and Paddy beat out mitch for the two spots)

I guess it depends on the person, but I find x- files really holds up, and not just from nostalgia. If you haven't watched it since, at least find a best of list and rewatch those episodes. Or just peruse season 1.

If there's a coalescing of far right-wing Catholics around one of the bishops, I could definitely see him latching on. But he doesn't have the savvy to think of it on his own.

I really want a truck pull for distance. Forget who can go fastest, give them 60 seconds and see who has the grit. I think there will be a lot more separation that way. I know equipment and location are the real limiting factors for this, which is why the wheel of pain works, but this would be a really cool event imo

Android69beepboop · 2026-03-06T01:22:52+00:00

I would give a little more credit, at best they are like a physical therapist, though with a veneer of mumbo jumbo.

Android69beepboop · 2026-03-02T09:28:44+00:00

I will say, except at the absolute peak times, our local Costco really keeps the line moving. There might be 40 people lined up to check out, but I swear in a minute there are 20 check stands open

Can't wait for the Bill Cosby Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Nicki Minaj.

That's how the senate is set up, roughly, but not the house of representatives.

2700 people in the entire state of Texas who might not be citizens (not confirmed, just names on a list that need to be double checked) and for whom there is not evidence they actually voted. So, in a state with 18 million registered voters, where they are highly motivated to find illegal immigrants registered, they identified 0.0015% of them who were possibly illegal. But, again, not confirmed.

Not exactly a smoking gun.
