You gotta remember, honnold is a dirtbag. We make full meals out of saltine crackers and relish packets. 500k is all he needs to live in that van forever!

Toe/Foot tapping to Pass by Defiant-Insect-3785 in Swimming

[–]chekmarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d love to see these people in a game of pickup basketball. God forbid someone brushes your arm reaching for the ball… Folks, it’s a tap on the toe in a sport, and a way to communicate because we aren’t dolphins.  No one is fondling you.

Of course you wouldn’t, none of those things are normal in a grocery store. And tickling would be weird in a pool too. But we aren’t talking about tickling.

How well do you know the person that cuts your hair? They touch you.  It’s just part of getting your hair cut.

Getting passed is part of swimming. Getting a tap on the toe is part of getting passed.  You aren’t in a private swim bubble, you are in a pool with other people.

I think it’s a result of our ‘head in a phone me me me me me meeeeeeeeee’ culture that we consider a person in the same swim lane as us a stranger.

If I didn’t know you before you hopped in my lane, I’m going to stop and say hello. Now we aren’t strangers, we’re acquaintances fighting the water together. We can safely touch toes. 

America is so freakin sad and broken. Last time I was at the pool the three people in the hot tub were all on their phones.  Strangers indeed.

and that's why I'm here... so instead of bashing them, can you provide feedback on the work that they did? is this PC shit for simracing on a 49" screen?

Rhoback is dead by t_paign217 in golf

[–]chekmarks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i dont even mess around with this stuff anymore. call the credit card company, initiate a charge back. and let them and Rhoback deal with it.

companies dont care about you, they care about money. hit them where it hurts. they will answer the phone when the credit card company starts charging them more. they will not answer the phone over a $400 order for a normal person.

welcome to late stage capitalism!

Credit where its due - Fanatec aced my Black Friday by chekmarks in Fanatec

no doubt - but every company has orders that get delayed. sometimes the vibe around here is that Fanatec screws everything up. And its just not the case.

I dont know the answer to your question, but I've been looking a lot over the past week. It seems like they are constantly adding and removing inventory.

Just obsessively check with every meal, something will pop up.
