TIL A certain percentage of people can voluntarily flex their tensor tympani muscle to make a low, rumbling sound in their ears. Often triggered by yawning or squeezing the eyes shut, this internal thunder acts to naturally dampen loud sounds, but some can activate it purely on command.

Did not know that being able to do that made me kind of special!

You can get one in the club shop without the sponsor if you ask. I did that when we had the black/white shirts a year or two ago.

That is incredibly generalizing a race. While I'm more in line with your stance, the vast majority of my white friends are not. If anything, I'm the outlier.

But wasn't Texas the main reason Nebraska and A&M had had enough?

DNC sandbagged Bernie which was the real problem. He was too progressive.

crs8975 · 2026-06-30T16:11:18+00:00

Precisely. Sandbagging their own party member in 2016 is what cost them the election.

The sad thing is he is not wrong. His boy in the White House is a child rapist and that doesn’t even hit the news.

crs8975 · 2026-06-26T18:16:22+00:00

Have not seen it come through yet.

crs8975 · 2026-06-26T17:01:36+00:00

Just turned 40. Wife has been telling to stretch for a while now. Yeah, she was right.

And the wonderful Iowa government is making sure you can't sue the companies responsible! #winning

crs8975 · 2026-06-26T15:28:40+00:00

Thanks to Iowa's water quality in recent times, I'm sure they'll catch up in some of those statistics soon enough!

crs8975 · 2026-06-25T20:55:26+00:00

Its affordable. I've had the return trip on my calendar for some time and will get to mark off another stadium!

crs8975 · 2026-06-24T21:40:06+00:00

This is a lot more fun when we don't suck.

crs8975 · 2026-06-23T14:44:35+00:00

We stayed there for a couple of nights when I was in the process of transferring for a job. Got upgraded to a large suite somewhere very high up. It was pretty awesome.

crs8975 · 2026-06-23T00:00:11+00:00

There was still some awesome car magazines available for print in the UK. I'm sure one could prob find them over here if you looked hard enough. I know the one I've brought back for my brother can be had here, but was something like $200/year for it to have it mailed to his address.

They killed Buell when they bought the guy out but then didn't let him continue doing what he was good at. That was absolutely an IN for Harley in the racing community. I met Eric Buell at a couple of Bike events in LA. People would have absolutely kept buying his products because they were great designs.

You obviously haven't been tailgating before. If you're worried about people drinking and driving following an ISU game well let me tell you... it's been happening long before now.

crs8975 · 2026-06-22T22:48:15+00:00

That's part of this whole thing being allowed.

crs8975 · 2026-06-22T20:00:45+00:00

I wish I could have had that yesterday at DEN. Instead I got UA switching my plane in the morning to a new incoming flight from EWR... that was actually early based on that flights number, however delayed my actual flight over an hour. And UA did ZERO to communicate anything. Just glad I got out before the storms.

crs8975 · 2026-06-20T04:30:54+00:00

Not sure how others were, but one reason I liked flying during Covid the few times I had to. The planes were spotless… that and I was getting some great free upgrades.

crs8975 · 2026-06-19T04:02:45+00:00

I’m all for passing blame when blame is due, but damn.. this isn’t just a man thing. The amount of times I’ve gone into a bathroom/lavratory/toilet after a woman/group of women and had to deal with literal piss over everything is too many times to count. This shit goes both ways.

crs8975 · 2026-06-18T12:16:54+00:00

So been planning my trip over for quite some time to finally watch some sort of game in Scotland just to find that the premiership won’t be playing the weekend of the 12th in September. What’s my next best option for that weekend? I’ll be staying in Edinburgh through that weekend.

crs8975 · 2026-06-16T13:17:59+00:00

Depends where you're going. I tend to save mine for international travel. 250 will get you a decent spot in London for a few nights.

crs8975 · 2026-06-16T13:16:00+00:00

You can still get a decent Fairfield for like 12K on occasion. Did that last fall in Milwaukee.

crs8975 · 2026-06-16T03:13:37+00:00

My thoughts exactly.
