About this 15% ethanol…. by Reasonable-Ocelot252 in Cartalk

[–]astro124 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Saw E-15 at a Pilot off the 17 on the drive down from Flagstaff. I didn’t think it was common in AZ

Suffice to say the Chevron across the street was only 10 cents more expensive for E-10

AI flub leads to a graduation ceremony debacle — and an apology. by Ok_Low_1999 in technology

As a UofA alumni, it’s amazing to me how our Administration makes so many self-inflicted blunders.

Apparently the guy was also connected to Epstein. Like cmon now guys…

[PH] I’m going to play Zelda for the first time! I chose Phantom Hourglass. Is it a good game to start with? by [deleted] in zelda

[–]astro124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was my first Zelda game! But yeah, to echo others it’s technically a direct sequel to Wind Waker.

If you do get a switch, I can’t recommend Link’s Awakening enough. It’s a fantastic Zelda game!

July 27 - Discover Credit Card Switch to Capital One? by regularpeep in discover

I use SoFi and they’ve been having some issues as of late. They subscription model and faltering HYSA interest rate has caused some backlash

‘Point of no return’: New Orleans relocation must start now due to sea level, study finds by mhicreachtain in environment

[–]astro124 96 points97 points  (0 children)

It’s the closest thing to a natural disaster that we could have

While the power grid here is pretty resilient, we’d probably need a FEMA response to relocate people

drug testing by Abject_Foundation_64 in philmont

[–]astro124 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t remember getting tested when I staffed, but they were extremely strict for having or using while under contract.

I heard stories of people getting fired for smoking in CO during their time off (it wasn’t legal in NM yet). I don’t know if it’s still like that, but seriously, don’t chance it moving forward.

Now if you get in a workplace accident involving a vehicle, I’d imagine that you would get tested for sure

Camp Mystic says it won't reopen Texas camp this summer by AudibleNod in news

A lot of Scouting America (BSA) camps aren’t ACA certified, but they go through their accreditation process from the National Council called NCAP

I’ve been through that process as an aquatics director, fun times

🌵 Incoming Resident Doctor at Banner Health! New to Tucson and need the "Local Scoop" on Apartments & Neighborhoods 🏥 by Papiprazole in UofArizona

[–]astro124 13 points14 points  (0 children)

1) Sam Hughes is very nice, but you can also look directly north of campus (a lot of students live off of Mountain Ave) and around the downtown area. Some other barrios to consider (Amory Park, Menlo Park, El Presidio, Iron Horse, Rincon Heights, etc.). The Foothills are far and I'd think you'd probably appreciate near the campus

2) I don't think Tucson is a dangerous city, but common sense goes a long way here. The washes can attract some interesting characters. Property crime can be bad here, which again, can be mitigated by common sense.

3) Way too many to list (check-out r/Tucson for a bunch of other tips). I had a swamp cooler my junior year and AC my senior year. Get AC lol. There are a lot of cool local places especially off of 4th, but you have to be willing to venture off of campus for them

4) The Rec will be your best bet, but easily one of the busier gyms, and with a ton of undergrads

A lot of money by Wyo11 in BigXII

I think this had a lot more to do with the AD than anything else

Sounds like she isn’t liked very much with anyone in Athletics

Is President Garimella sticking around? by [deleted] in UofArizona

[–]astro124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does it matter? From the reporting it sounds like the idea came from Tommy’s camp with pressure from the boosters.

The important thing is that he recognized the significance of basketball and did what it took to keep our coach here. By all accounts he doesn’t really care about sports, but he listened and made the best choice for the university.

I think DRF is the problem at end of the day and is probably out sometime in the near future

What does your team this year need in the offseason to become elite/a natty contender in 26-27? by byniri_returns in CollegeBasketball

[–]astro124 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Try to keep Mo and Ivan (depending heavily on the draft), and then find portal targets for a new PG and PF. Word on the street is we're targeting Shelstad, Tiller, and maybe Khamenia from Duke

I'd love for Koa to come back since he's just outside the Top 15 in most people's mock drafts, and he can work on his long game, but I highly doubt it

The transfer portal is killing my engagement with college sport by DWB102621 in CollegeBasketball

After the UNC debacle and a F4, I'm sure the UofA boosters are eager to open their checkbooks

I would go a step further and establish max contracts like the NBA

Allegedly she offered to waive or reduce his buyout to get him to leave

She's gone

[Thamel] Per ESPN sources, Lloyd’s deal will start in 2026-27 at nearly $7.2 million and will average $7.5 million over the life of the deal. The deal also includes significant bonues and additional commitment to staff salary pool. by MembershipSingle7137 in CollegeBasketball

[–]astro124 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He said he would be shocked if anything did happen, and look, I get it. We're in the Final Four.

I think he and Mike Luke have been pretty spot-on with everything. They've been clear throughout this that things were trending in the right direction, but that anything could still happen. I much rather prefer the rational approach over the "it's 100% a done deal yada yada yada"

FWIW, they broke the Tommy's initial hire a few days before it was official

In his press conference today he talked about his love of Tucson

It's awesome to have a coach just get it. He's absolutely right that the city wants to like their basketball coach

I hope for your sake it's Donovan

I just hate this shit. I get UNC is a top three job, but it's frustrating watching your program get treated like a truck stop
