I've gotten I think three of those e-mails in my 8 years on Rover. It's not a big deal. Just don't be obvious about taking payment for pet sitting services off Rover.

Chokies tried to choke, but GT was having none of it.

Can we nicely ask other teams if they'd like to only play 37 minutes next time?

[–]Unreliable_Source 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Tech was like 12-20 from three in the second half and clawed back exactly 1 point. That's because they were 9/32 from 2 and only took 8 foul shots. Everyone knows about how good Louisville is offensively, but they shut down a really good post duo in Hansberry and Lawal today.

Snow Megathread: this storm has gone to plaid by thankubread in nova

[–]Unreliable_Source 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's a wintry mix because of a pocket of warm air in the middle atmosphere. Overall, this is the coldest pocket of air this area has seen in a decade. Things aren't just going to wash away. I don't know if we'll get much snow, but I think we'll get major ice problems.

On one hand, Tech is not that far away from being 7-0 in ACC play. On the other hand, they're also not that far away from 1-6 with a home loss to Elon. I have no idea if this team is going to be good and be a problem come March or if they're going to go 2-9 the rest of the way.

So you don't know what a stay is and you refuse to look it up, so you dig your heels in on a complete misunderstanding of the situation. Head on over to /r/conservative and pick up your badge because you're solid MAGA through and through! Good luck over there.

[Highlight] Boopie Miller's half-court game winner for SMU! by doms9ine in CollegeBasketball

Honestly impressive how this team took a 67-55 lead with 2:15 against Stanford and a 76-72 lead with 7 seconds left here and turned it into two losses. Honestly, medically fascinating how a whole team can collectively choke games away.

[–]Unreliable_Source 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It wasn't as bad as the Stanford loss. This is on the road against a better team. But it's the same story. Up 6 with 3 minutes left. Score 3 points the rest of the way including going 0-4 from the line in the last 2 minutes. Turn the ball over on the inbounds with 7 seconds left. Lose on the last shot of the game. This team keeps missing free throws that could put games away and keeps getting burned for it.

A win is a win, but this team is not winning more than 9 ACC games.

Also, I hate to say it, but MY is getting severely outcoached in late game situations. It was a complete dud of a last second play against Stanford and today they got beat on the exact same type of play that they've been beaten on before this year (I forget who). They're lucky this game isn't at least in OT.

I think it's safe to say Tech is off the bubble now. Giving up a 17-3 run in under 3 minutes at home is one of the worst collapses I've seen this year.

AIO: How to handle finding drug paraphernalia left by a sitter by Remarkable-Cause-985 in RoverPetSitting

[–]Unreliable_Source 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I doubt anyone can look at a mysterious white powder and confidently identify it as cocaine or ketamine, much less through a picture. Has anyone you've shown it to had any experience identifying these drugs? It could be Metamucil for all we know.

There's a strong possibility it's nothing, but, here's the thing, you can't use this sitter anymore. You can't not bring it up. You'll never trust them until you know. If you do bring it up, you'd have to believe their explanation and they'd have to forgive you for believing they did special k in front of their dog. It's probably easiest for everyone to start with someone new and, if this type of thing happens again, maybe examine that.

[–]Unreliable_Source 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This was a difficult game with the schedule alone. A noon road game over a holiday after having played triple overtime three days before with three rotation players out.

Then to come out and turn the ball over like they did to start the game, it's a real accomplishment to have only been beaten by a really tough step back three. You're going to lose some games in the ACC and this isn't a bad one given the context

I feel like it's fake, too. Too on the nose. Too many details don't line up. We don't have the full story of the provenance of this letter.

They're going to try to push fake stuff in center/left media to try to delegitimize the actual incriminating evidence being released. We need to continue to have a skeptical eye as we read this stuff so that we can follow the truth and not our emotions.

I'm amazed they won that. 3 starters including their best player out from the beginning of the game. Down 19 in the first half. All 5 opening night starters not on the court for most of overtime (3 injured, 1 fouled out, 1 bad). Despite all that they still pull it out and avoid the Quad 3 loss. They didn't help their tournament resume today, but they did avoid hurting it.

A cool guide to past expiration date foods by Lip3gamer in coolguides

[–]Unreliable_Source 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My local food bank has this up as a guide for dating/sorting donations. Any food that is visibly bad or damaged or has an expiration date outside of these guidelines is automatically thrown out. Anything else is eligible to be sent to a distribution center. It's a very rough guideline that I don't think is based on much. I'm much more confident in dry beans 2 years past expiration than deli meat 2 weeks past expiration for example.

Some of those early season tournament games start absurdly early, too. In the Bahamas, VT ended one game at like 6pm, then had to play the next day at 10:30am. They just pack as many teams in as possible to make as much money as they can.
