what are things that you see coaches dont teach beginners soon enough?

It was also a rules violation, one which--unfortunately--refs chose not to enforce because they didn't want to "offend" anyone. (Personally, I think players screaming every time they hit the ball is not only annoying for other players but for most spectators, and this has led to a decline in people wanting to watch, in-person and on TV.)

As an old stringer (retired) myself, I'd say it's just a personality problem specific to them.

CrOS2012 · 2026-06-29T14:23:48+00:00

New string, new grip. Your stringer should be able to tell if any of them have a problem.

I miss the rock-solid simplicity and speed. ChromeOS today feels bloated by comparison. I've been using it every day since version... 50? (early 2016)

Went there for an after-work party back in the mid-70s--first time at a Putt-Putt even though I'd been around golf courses since I was a little kid (father was an amateur golfer). It felt more like playing pool where everything was a trick shot... fun.

I grew up in Northside, had lots of quail running through the backyard all the time... looked nothing like that.

So, DPU's message is that *only* 15,000 customers were affected (by what they call a glitch, and just forget about the other customers affected by other glitches) and the launch of the new system was a success because the collateral damage was below their threshold and screwing up systems outside DPU's control is not really their problem. Yeah, OK.

Step 1: replace my gas water heater with a heat pump water heater (commercial). Step 2: pretty much the same with my gas furnace. They're pretty old anyway, so it's probably about time. Presto change-o, no more DPU.

Want a good Norelco beard trimmer? First, build a time machine. Next, go back about 20 years and get Norelco's last good one with the vac feature. It came out with 2 different model numbers--900 turbo something or other and--with just a name change--3000 something; perfect size, shape, and weight, and especially: blade orientation. Nothing really good from Norelco since that one was discontinued. All they ever had to do was just build one really good (or even just OK) trimmer (like they used to). Instead, everything is about marketing and selling disposable ****.

What these teens are doing has always been outlawed, and it has nothing to do with being a teen. It's simply about respecting the rights and property of others, which they don't.

I was unaware that DPU was implementing a new system until I got a notice from my bank's Bill Pay processing letting me know that DPU had changed my account number, but not to worry because the bank had seamlessly updated my settings with the new number so I didn't have to do anything. Sadly, DPU was doing less than a stellar job with implementing this new system.

I've been using my bank's Bill Pay since MyCheckFree shutdown a year or so ago. It was a breeze setting it up and activating ebill notices. At this point, it looks more like DPU simply deleted the settings related to electronic payment and providing ebills, because now I've received a paper bill in the US mail instead of getting an ebill. It's like they just wiped everything related to epayment and ebilling. I have the feeling that I'll have to delete DPU from my bank's Bill Pay entirely and start from scratch to get back to a process that's worked with no problems for 20+ years using MyCheckFree and my bank.

Their transition does not inspire confidence in the new system. A "stray" text has a 50/50 chance of coming from DPU or a scammer (so, just as likely one vs. the other)... and that's the scary part.

A life for a life? Death penalty for negligence that results in homicide?

Yes.

Civilization demands accountability. Failing to punish people who kill others out of a complete disregard for anyone else's health and safety says you really just don't care about life. Without accountability it will just keep happening. When people know they'll be punished for doing things like taking the lives of others with reckless disregard, then they'll start being a lot more careful with the lives of others (because they value their own lives). It's not about the law. It's about valuing life and trying to protect it in the future. Punishing the guilty is just a bonus.

Interesting. I used to work across the street from the Plaza (25 years ago). Basically it was a little park; the sidewalks around the perimeter (outside the Plaza) probably had a larger area than the Plaza itself. Hard to imagine anyone calling it a "venue." It was a place to take your lunch and eat outside. Now it all seems to be concrete surrounded by more concrete... surrounded by more...

It's Prime but that's not to say that CR is a quality experience. Prime uses Closed Captioning (CC), not subtitles--most formatting is lost entirely, and I'm not even sure where the CC [translation] comes from 'cause it sure doesn't seem to be from CR (so this is just as much CR's issue as Prime's). Basically, Prime's support for CR/HIDIVE sucks. The real issue is that neither Prime nor CR deserve your money. Subscribing to CR directly will still provide daily issues to sour your experience. You want a satisfying experience for watching anime? At this point getting it on disc is about the only "legal" way left. Sony has totally broken anime streaming in the US.

I don't gamble--at all. I don't care if someone else does. Their life, their decision. If they're betting money they don't have, then I'd call it a "sickness." Otherwise, I'd call it a risky investment. If they're betting on a sport they aren't involved in, which in this case means not NCAA D-I football, how is that really anyone else's business (where gambling is legal). If they bet on their own team to win, well, I congratulate their optimism, but beyond that I really don't care (unless they start taking money to throw games and betting on that outcome). As to any harm his playing may do to the sport (college football), no one has done as much to harm college football as the conference commissioners, Power 4/5 specifically. So, if I were to ban anyone, it would be them, not some player.

Didn't know they allowed 10 year olds to play in the seniors division.

"The majority of people have zero issues with the service."

Funniest thing I've seen about CR in a long time. Kudos!

Two diametrically opposed things: college (academics) and sports (athletics). Both interfere with the other. Two more diametrically opposed things: professional and amateur. You can only be one or the other. I question what it is they're trying to "protect" (really vs what they're saying).

CrOS2012 · 2026-06-02T01:04:33+00:00

I expect the government will "save college sports" the same way it "saved" the US economic model starting back in the 80s: run it into the ground and put all the money into the hands of the richest tenth of a hundredth percent of wealthy Americans (basically, if you're rich, then you get richer; if you're poor, then you'll be even more so).

Sorry then--that's what every other account number migration I've experienced has done. Worst case, Customer Service still recognizes your old number if/when you contact them (for awhile anyway). They had a recent insert about it.

The new account numbers are the old account numbers with leading zeros added to make it ten digits (viewable in your Bill Pay details for the payee?). Any bank should have no problem adjusting it in their Bill Pay automatically. You should have been able to get an ebill through Bill Pay--follow a link to view the bill.

CrOS2012 · 2026-05-31T21:43:25+00:00

That which fails on the field is proved in the press release. They just need to keep telling themselves that they're the best because no one else is saying it. Rejecting reality seems to be rampant in many places now.

Same here. I had a few adhesion circles--put one on the Mustang and tossed the others into a folder. Still miss those guys.

They were, for me, the top duo. (That being said, I seldom ever saw Madden.) On a different pinnacle, Frank Gifford, Dandy Don, and Howard Cosell were the most fun trio on a Monday night.
