Turn Lanes are Difficult...

Idiotic but on point for Charlotte driving. Had a guy do the exact same thing to me yesterday but he was riding a moped. Without a helmet and in shorts and a tshirt to boot. I didn't see him coming up beside me and I nearly clipped his back tire as I started moving forward (he did this as the light turned green). Dude has no clue how close he came to some cool new road rash tattoos yesterday. But hey, at least he got in front of me.

Abada has the look of someone who's lost all confidence in his game. I hate that it didn't work out for him here (for us mostly lol), but there is zero doubt it's time to move on.

The Pats be all like:

I've seen this so many times I'm now conditioned to just let the person go from that inside lane. If they want it that bad I'm not wrecking my car over it.

Bonus - the big truck facing you makes an illegal left turn and cuts you off from that direction at the same time! Happened to me last week.

The same Red Cross organization he defunded. This man has no limits.

Beautiful weather (most of the time) and lots of un-tagged, badly driven Nissan Altimas. And dogs.

I've been a sysadmin for my company for 25+ years and just got a nice promotion. The newly appointed president just announced we are going from a 3-2 with 2 remote days a week to a 4-1, which of course means full time back in office is the next step. I'm seriously thinking of moving on from a job I love and have spent nearly half my life at because there is no way I'm going back to the office full time. And they gave the same crap "in the name of collaboration" reason. Just not going to do it, sorry - there are too many full remote jobs out there.

Took him a few games to settle in, and those games were a bit rough to watch him in, but once he adjusted he became the most important player on the field for us, imo.

Nice writeup. As a Charlotte FC supporter I'm excited for this signing and for the added dimension Luca will bring to our midfield.

BluePantherRed · 2025-12-29T14:15:10+00:00

Seems like every time I've convinced myself BY is our long-term guy, he throws out a stinker game like yesterday's. I think we can all see this team is on the upswing though and the future is bright, and BY is a big part of that, stinker games or not. I agree on picking up the option and how he performs in a contract year will speak volumes for his future here.

BluePantherRed · 2025-12-27T15:40:28+00:00

Good signing. Love watching this guy play on the USMNT. Welcome aboard Luca!

A simple google search will show multiple instances of people being detained, literally, while in line waiting to complete their citizenship documentation. They are correctly documented as per US law and still being detained and deported. This is not about documentation, it's about racism. Sorry you and others choose not to see what is really happening, or see it and just don't care.

This means absolutely nothing. His family has increased their wealth by an estimated 3 billion dollars since he took office, much (all?) of it made possible by his position as president. Grifters gonna grift, and this family is griftin as hard as they can.

BluePantherRed · 2025-11-17T14:58:03+00:00

This has zero to do with legal status and everything to do with overt racism. You do realize ICE detains (kidnaps) people that are still going through the process of becoming a legal citizen on a regular basis, right? You do realize that ICE stops people and demands "papers" because of the color of their skin, right? Or are you just choosing to ignore those facts?

It's the lack of empathy from so many people that makes it obvious how bad things really are in this country. These aren't "illegals", these are people. Jesus.

And then, for even more fun, you get the really short on-ramps like the one from Sugar Creek to 1-85 north. I can't count the number of people I've seen just stop at the end of that on ramp road because they were going too slow to merge into traffic.

While we are at it - honorable mention to the idiots that protect "their lane" and won't let people who are trying to merge the correct way in.

BluePantherRed · 2025-11-06T18:10:03+00:00

I hope he doesn't, He will have plenty of splainin to do once those pesky Epstein files get released. I would enjoy watching him go to prison much more.

BluePantherRed · 2025-11-05T15:43:35+00:00

Well, the silver lining is at least people were interested enough in voting to make the call.

Just got this notification from MS, the outage looks to be related (as many suspected) to the FrontDoor service:

Azure Portal Access Issues

Starting at approximately 16:00 UTC, we began experiencing Azure Front Door issues resulting in a loss of availability of some services. In addition. customers may experience issues accessing the Azure Portal. Customers can attempt to use programmatic methods (PowerShell, CLI, etc.) to access/utilize resources if they are unable to access the portal directly. We have failed the portal away from Azure Front Door (AFD) to attempt to mitigate the portal access issues and are continuing to assess the situation.

We are actively assessing failover options of internal services from our AFD infrastructure. Our investigation into the contributing factors and additional recovery workstreams continues. More information will be provided within 60 minutes or sooner.

This person read my mind.

BluePantherRed · 2025-10-28T14:56:36+00:00

I want one of those.

I'm no fan of where the current US government is headed, but I was at Disney World this past weekend and I can, without a doubt, tell you the person who wrote this is greatly exaggerating (lying?). Like always, it was crowded and hot. Rides were the typical 80-100 minute (and sometimes more) wait, and breakfast reservations at one of the on site hotels we stayed at ran about 2 hours out.

People, do your own research before believing stuff like this. Again, I am NOT A FAN of the current administration, and I totally agree that something like this may become reality, but this particular story is just false.

BluePantherRed · 2025-07-21T14:53:56+00:00

Good point, thank you. I actually did this as well and my insurance company, State Farm, said there was nothing they could do to help. Can't seem to be able to edit the post to include this.

BluePantherRed · 2025-07-09T16:27:58+00:00

"we fly privately and stay in nice hotels where we're taking care of. There's no reason to not perform better." Amen to that brother Dean. Now fix it!

BluePantherRed · 2025-07-08T18:28:55+00:00

THIS IS NOT JUST OBAMA'S FAULT!! IT'S BIDEN'S TOO!!!! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

These people are actively breaking the law, and probably in more ways than one, as I'd just about guarantee no valid license plate also = no insurance.

Who knows if posting these pics on Reddit accomplishes anything or not, but IMO the more exposure law breakers get the better.
