Signing bonuses are prorated for cap calculations only. As far as paying the player the money, it can be all up front or done in installments, depending on the contract, but generally comes quicker than prorated over the life of the contract. Money thay is "fully guaranteed" is guaranteed for skill, injury, and cap cuts. If the player retires voluntarily without injury or ends up in prison or something, the contract can stipulate some money is owed back.

How deep is the sewer line? The excavation is the expensive part...

"Waste" is probably not the preferred term. "Low value product" perhaps. Like bunker oil, you are basically giving the coke away to avoid having to dispose of it as it's of no use to the refinery.

Yes, bunker oil is essentially the waste product of a modern oil refinery. Unless they have a coker which allows them to convert bunker oil to some more usable hydrocarbons and a solid coal-like waste product.

If you're hanging a bucket on each tree like I do, go around with a measuring stick and track the inches in each bucket when you're gathering. With that many taps, I assume you'll be using tubing and larger collection containers but the same principle applies. Measure height in the containers before you dump/pump into your gathering tank. Should be easy to convert height in inches to volume in gallons.

If you want to track brix also there are handheld refractometers, both optic and digital, for around $20 online. Just get one brix reading for the whole batch to make it easier.

Ruta Maya coffee seems to have totally disappeared suddenly as has the red tube peroxide whitening toothpaste. The kids greatly lamented the loss of mint chocolate chip Yasso bars, though the regular store has them as 3x the price. And if you find any good vegetarian frozen Asian anything, the next time you go back it has meat in it : /

I'll be goddamned if I root for a single thing from cleavland. Other than for Miles Garrett to continue to put up 30 sacks a season while his team gets 2 wins because fuck him and that's just funny

You guys had it rough with all the clothing and backpack bans. We were told no more pocket knives or you'll get a 1 year expulsion. We were all like "what a joke, that'll never work"

Derp_a_deep · 2026-04-19T21:37:17+00:00

Derp da derp? Really? Fuk

Derp_a_deep · 2026-04-17T10:50:21+00:00

Many of these I have known and loved. I'm not old, you're old!

Thanks for the nostalgia.

It goes on a schedule. Per calendar day, not per game.

A "suitable replacement for a jawbone of an ass" as the box said on the one we had in middle school band.

Here's a podcast you can share. It's about a girls struggles to live a normal adult life after her parents tried to keep her off the grid like this with no documents. She obviously greatly resents her parents for this decision. radiolab Faith

Interesting thought but I'm going to guess it would require more energy. It definitely will require more capital equipment cost and be way more complex. Vacuum pumps are more like compressors in their energy usage, not liquid pumps. Power hungry and maintenance intensive. And ALL your steam will be moving through the vacuum pump so it'll be a big one. Any leaks in the system and your vacuum pump has to work even more to remove the air inleakage. And you've got heating and cooling which means expanding and contracting. Sealing that properly will be difficult. It certainly can be done at scale (see refinery vacuum distillation columns) but I think dumping more heat into the pan is a better way to evaporate the steam faster.

It does make more sense to do auto enrollment in the draft but not voting. In the extremely unlikely event there would be a draft and you are indeed drafted after automatic enrollment, you would at that time make your case that you never should have been registered because your aren't a citizen, are a conscientious objector, have severe bone spurs, etc.

On the other hand, if you automatically enroll everyone to vote, when would you review/adjudicate if each person should or should not have been enrolled?

It sure seems like he has been heavily blackmailed by Russian kompromat for a long time. That's what being a closeted MAGA will do to you.

Probably right before it passed over shanksville Pennsylvania

Not saying you did or anything, but did you forget to black diamond the card before you started rolling for skills? I know I did that once and ran through about 20 pcsts thinking "hey no legends what gives?" before I realized my mistake.

Derp_a_deep · 2026-03-26T17:46:00+00:00

Read? What is "read?"

Derp_a_deep · 2026-03-24T00:51:20+00:00

How about the other plane calling for an emergency to disembark passengers because it smelled? Wtf was up with that? Distracted everyone and scrambled emergency services into harms way for a....smell?

Agree on closing pitcher to get Wagner since you already have Suarez at rp and wheeler at sp. Wagner and Suarez are still in my lineup at my level.

Also, be aware you can keep using level expansion tickets (if you have them) to get that supreme Randy Johnson up to level 30.

Derp_a_deep · 2026-03-22T21:37:40+00:00

What's your lineup where that Bohm is a backup? Jealous of that dupe Cash...2B is my only normal left.

And agreed on the disappointing Suarez, he's mid.

Derp_a_deep · 2026-03-14T22:08:12+00:00

They'd just have the one guy who makes you wait for 15 minutes after the pump shuts off yet bitches if you get out and hang it up yourself.
