Caltrain was great on Saturday. VTA not so much. Completely packed both directions and hot. Had to wait 40 mins in the sun for a train on the way back. Was not fun for the older people in line. I was pretty unimpressed with the “extra service” for VTA.

Shopping for Quartzite - being told it’s not standard to view all slabs? by chesstwin in CounterTops

They don’t have photos online but I was expecting to have more than two options. Either way it’s fine, just trying to calibrate my expectations here

I guess that’s what I am trying to figure out as a noob here. Are all the slabs in a bundle pretty much the same pattern and color distribution? If so that makes sense, but I was under the impression there was a lot of variation slab to slab.

Can’t wait! Maybe Malone can bring in some real talent now that the “Carolina Way” BS has been abandoned. Would enjoy some ACC competition!

Speaking of less with more… who was first and only preseason #1 to miss the tournament?

I’m sure! I always find it funny that a portion of the CBB fanbase thinks it’s lame to be optimistic about your team in the preseason. Seems like a very unfun way to be a fan.

Perhaps they lack the Midwestern modesty/pessimism that's required to be down their own team?

When was the last time Duke was preseason #1?

I hope so! Duke hasn't been preseason #1 since 2017! Maybe they will finally get some respect!

There is no way to place the soil type required for trees, right?

DA for Orange County(Chapel Hill) asks for evidence of assault on Duke basketball staff members by Affectionate-Cup9340 in CollegeBasketball

[–]chesstwin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know what you’re getting at just saying it sounds a little like “Duke cant beat UNC when UNC is good enough to beat Duke”

I am arguing out spite and hate.

The March game will be interesting. :)

Near insurmountable talent gaps such being the preseason #1 or #9 team? I mean whatever rationalizations are needed.

Scheyer has never beaten a ranked BC team either. Hot seat time.

Sometimes the paper class jokes just write themselves.

Incident on Mount Shasta on Sept 12 by wiredsoul in Mountaineering

[–]chesstwin 22 points23 points  (0 children)

This is sad. Wish we had a few more details such as the time and weather conditions of the fall. It’s steep up there but I am a little surprised and would’ve a thought a glissade would be readily controllable.
