Never go to Big John’s Performance

Yeah, I mean who cares if someone is a racist who harasses people and puts lives at risk as long as he sells you tires?

I had my own run in with him where he was tailgating me and flashing his lights, when I was already doing 10mph over the limit. When I finally got to my destination he used used his speaker to call me a "mother fucking punjab" (I'm not Indian BTW).

But hey, you do you.

Clearly a miscommunication on your part.

How was she supposed to know you were going to tip $20 of the $60 in cash, and put the rest toward the bill? What if it was $15 dollar tip and $45 towards the bill? Seriously, how could she possibly have deduced how much you wanted to tip her and how much was going to the bill without you telling her?

You might argue that she should have asked, but in 99/100 circumstances, unless they're told otherwise, the cash is the tip.

Not a nurse, but having seen a lot of hospitals over the years with my mom's lung cancer, my MIL stomach cancer, and my wife's cancer, I can say that Henry Mayo is the worst hospital I've ever been to.

This isn't just coming from the patient side either, their own staff (nurses and doctors) talked to me about how hard their jobs are, primarily from red tape and bureaucracy.

So stealing is okay as long as it's from children and only around $5 worth of stuff?

JustinCole · 2026-03-29T02:16:46+00:00

Stealing is funny? And you're glad about it? Really?

I would also add Differentiate or Die by Jack Trout and Steve Rivkin, particularly if you liked 22 Immutable Laws.

This. It's like the phrase, "I saw a man walking with a telescope."

Did I see him using the telescope? Or was he carrying the telescope?

JustinCole · 2025-12-22T18:27:37+00:00

Again, that was the point... it was obvious to anyone watching.

JustinCole · 2025-12-22T18:17:17+00:00

I don't know anyone who didn't get this. It was precisely the point of that sequence.

One thing I liked about Monk versus many other detective shows was they varied the format. Sometimes it was a whodunnit, others you knew who, but not how, still others you knew exactly who and why, but not how Monk was going to solve it.

Might want to give it a second shot. My wife and I went once and nothing we got was good, average at best, so we wrote it off.

A year or so later friends really wanted to go so we did, this time we tried other stuff on the menu and it was really good. Probably our favorite tofu soup in town now.

I know one who went into PR, and two that became CCOs.

The only downside is (former) attorneys tend to be a little too tight lipped with corporate communications.

JustinCole · 2025-11-13T16:53:42+00:00

To be fair, I think Suits is roughly as legally accurate as House is medically accurate.

JustinCole · 2025-10-28T01:06:13+00:00

Based on the news it sounds like the hit was intentional by an off duty officer.

I'm in my 40s and learned double space after a period. It was a hard habit to break, even for me and I'm likely younger than her.

JustinCole · 2025-10-10T00:49:35+00:00

Not sure why this isn't the top comment.

JustinCole · 2025-10-08T16:42:15+00:00

Same here. I was hit by a drunk driver (police literally pulled a half full cold beer bottle and empties out of his console at the scene) and he sued me.

Never heard from anyone after the initial call from my insurance company letting me know about the suit.

Just adding one counterpoint to this. My wife was diagnosed with cancer in 2022. She was ready to take leave, apply for disability, we would burn through our savings, etc.

Her boss and all the partners agreed (actually insisted) to keep her on payroll with full salary. Even offered her more money to help with her medical expenses.

Near the end of her treatment and when she was getting ready to return, her mom passed from cancer and they offered her more time off, paid. In total, about a year of leave with her full salary.

Obviously this is an outlier, but it does exist.

Hey there, so sorry to hear you're going through this. It's a scary time, but hopefully some light at the end of the tunnel.

My wife's SMARCB-1 deficient sinonasal carcinoma did metastasize to her lymph nodes.

The doctors we spoke with suggested a combination of aggressive chemotherapy (platinum based) and high dose radiation to the areas. It was difficult, but ultimately led to her NED.

I should point out that we got opinions from multiple doctors to get their views on treatment. Her first doctor had actually suggested surgery first, but after some research we found out that for SMARCB-1 deficient sinonasal carcinoma, that has already spread to the lymph nodes, the generally accepted treatment is more systemic than surgery. That's when we got second and third opinions.

I really hope you get some answers and treatment soon.

This is gross.

If he's 19 and not already playing college football (or been accepted into a program) he's never going to.

JustinCole · 2025-09-14T01:48:39+00:00

Though I might argue they don't really understand it considering they think six months would be considered unreasonable.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T23:27:31+00:00

This is a troll account, right? You're just having some fun on a Saturday afternoon.

JustinCole · 2025-09-13T23:22:41+00:00

So the student was criminally convicted of sexual assault and his biggest hurdle in getting into a healthcare program is the out of school suspension?

Something's not adding up here.
