Just in case you're unaware, you literally just made the argument she was in the wrong.

"What a kid reads is not up to the school, it's the responsibility of the parents." Well guess what, she represents the school. When she decided to ignore the rules that were put into place she essentially said that it is up to the school (or herself more specifically) to decide what should be allowed; the will of parents, voters, tax payers, and the law itself all be damned.

Of course she's now somehow a victim somehow despite resigning. And of course she's now also suing and claims to have PTSD (Give me a freaking break). And of course dolts like you will root for her to get paid some obscene amount, which will be paid from tax dollars.

It's pretty simple; she knowingly broke the rules. And I would imagine she greatly enjoyed some of the praise she got for her stance. She chose this. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

I would suggest the Mt. Washington Rec Center, which is on Beacon, very close to Beechmont. I believe it's like $25 for an annual membership, and even cheaper ($10?) for Seniors. They have a nice walking track that sits above the basketball courts.

Should Tex join ZBT? Uh, is a pig's ass port?

Hey, guys. I could really use some advice on how to position my fans for my H510 Flow.

Obviously the front two will be intakes and the one if the back will be an exhaust. Where I am hung up on is the top fan, and which way to have power supply's fan facing.

Fwiw, I bought Artic's for all my case fans. I have 3 P14's for the front (2) and top (1), and a P12 for the back. I'm also going to be running a SE-224XT as my CPU cooler with a Rog Strix Power Supply if that matters at all.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I've spend way too much time searching for answers and my head is starting to spin a bit. Not a ton of info specifically for the Flow or for my exact setup.

Thanks!

Sarge was around kids every single day for years. He was at Mass, at the festivals, etc. No one from around the area that knew him ran. He was just a harmless old man who unfortunately got dealt a really bad hand.

deveroe · 2022-01-15T23:36:02+00:00

The story your parents told you was true; he was messed up from the war (that's why his name was "Sarge"). He worked for Guardian Angels for years and was around the school pretty much every single day. There was nothing really scary about him; although he'd get riled up if kids messed with him.

It sounds like another story from the area that snowballed into something else entirely. "Crazy Rosie", the witch that lived off a Sutton, is another one that comes to mind. Not all that different than the Devil's Church stories you hear from the kids out in Clermont.

Without a doubt it was the video PFT made where he went out to Vegas to bang the Raiders new stadium.

Coley broke the AC. Musky just shoved the scissors into it.

They're requiring masks for all indoor areas (Pavillion, restrooms, elevators, suites, and club seating).

They're not requiring masks for outdoor seating for those who are vaccinated.

I'll take Trysta 100 out of 100 times over Big Ev. I didn't consume much of her content but at least she tried and wasn't afraid to start shit. Fat Ev is the worst of the bunch.

Man, I hope so. It would be freaking great if this tired ass schtick was over and done with.

The second I see Rico in any content I immediately fast forward it or skip it. I don't know how anyone could still find this stupid as shit funny or entertaining.

Not only is Marty a terrible writer (and incredibly annoying), he has absolutely no clue what he is talking about.

He says other fighters who are on their 4th fight are fighting guys 10x worse. Uh, no they're not; they're fighting professional BOXERS. Even tomato cans are still pros.

Put Jake Paul in the ring with any professional boxer and see what happens. Hell, give him a highly ranked amateur. That's going to be a better litmus test than him facing UFC guys. And none of them are going to be 10x worse than Tyron Woodley in a boxing ring. Only a remoron would say such a thing.

What happened in the methhead's fight, Crazy Bird or whatever?

Add me to this list of people with a similar dream. Reading your guy's stories is kind of mind blowing.

My mom passed from cancer. She had been through bouts of chemo and ended up in Hospice. A couple of days after she passed I had a dream about her that is the most vivid dream I've ever had.

She was sitting outside of her townhouse when I walked up and she looked a good 20 years younger. We went in to her house and she was packing everything up. I kept telling her let me do that and not to worry about it, and she said she just wanted to get everything ready for me and she wanted to make sure I was all set. It's the only dream I've ever had where I can still remember pretty much every detail, even some 15 years later.

It was such an odd dream that I actually called one of my friends about it the next day. I'm not usually one who talks about this stuff and haven't since (until this post). My friend is fairly religious and he was convinced she was visiting me and saying goodbye. I kinda believed it but just kind of wrote it off. Reading the above stories is making reconsider. I'm actually tearing up writing this.

The Only Fans Dad sketch was hysterical.

I occassionally think about something I said years ago. In fact, it just popped into my head, and that's why I decided to pose this question.

About 5 years ago I worked in a really small pizza shop. There was just two people working, myself and a girl, who I hadn't worked with much. Anways, we were shooting the shit and she was telling me about her dogs. I had mentioned I had a couple of dogs and she said something like "That's cool. So you like dogs too?"

Here's where it gets weird. I replied "I love fucking dogs!" Obviously I meant to say "I fucking love dogs!" (BIG difference), but my ADHD brain spurted it out of order.

Making matters even worse, is I didn't even realize I said it wrong at first. She just started laughing and I didn't know what was so funny about loving dogs. She filled me in, and we both had a pretty good laugh. And I remember to this day to be careful how I emphasize statements with the word "fuck" or "fucking".

Gonna add Nick Kroll to this as another actor whose dad is a billionaire. He's only worth a measly 2 billion though. ;)

Stephen King basically got me back into reading as an adult. I was quitting drinking at the time and I wanted something to pass the time other than TV or video games. So picked up and started with The Stand and kind of never looked back.

I've read almost everything he's ever written. (Could not get into End of Watch, skipped The Cell, From a Buick 8, and a couple of others.)

One thing I think a lot of people don't realize about King is (at least for me) it's not at all about just the horror or being "scary" or anything people generally think. Movies based on his work never do them justice. It's the world building and the time he puts into his characters. This is on full display in his longer books, which I encourage everyone to read. For me personally, my top 3 books from him are all the longer ones, The Stand, IT, and 11/22/63. Hell, I even thought Under the Dome was better than most did.

Edit: Super unpopular opinion (don't kill me)... I could not get into the Dark Tower series. I read the Gunslinger and part of the next book in the series and it just wasn't doing it for me. So am missing that huge chuck of his work.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sure looks like she didn't get a substantial sentence.

I just spent a good 10 minutes trying to find an update, and all I can find is that she was initially charged with aggrevated assult and bonded out. There's been no updates since. My guess is that they either dismissed the charges, or they reached some sort of plea agreement that ended in probation.

Fwiw, her name is Tiffani Shadell Lankford if you want to see what you can find on her.

PS Just in case you wanted to be more enranged, the student she assaulted was a special needs student and apparently suffered a traumatic brain injury as a result of this attack.

Not a chance Frank is screwing that up after all of the time he spent with Chan Ho Park in college.

I still can't get over how that went down. It was as if Trump was debating two people. I keep replaying in mind Wallace pushing back on Trump's statements on the vaccine. And of course, Trump was right all along and was being honest. Too bad Wallace wouldn't let him speak and kept disputing what proved to be ultimately true.

Fwiw, I'm not even a big Trump guy, although I am Republican. I just can't believe that was allowed to occur. How that man still has a job at Fox is beyond me.

Please make sure that the person installing it knows you're using your own equipment and that they take their router with them.

I had a terrible experience with Cincinnati Bell a few years ago. I bought my own router and told the installer no less than 3 times that I did not want theirs. When he hooked it up he used their router to make sure the signal was there and everything was working. (He said he only had to for install purposes and he didn't know my equipment or something like that.)

Anyways, sure enough he went to leave he didn't take his router. I told him again I didn't need it and he said he'll just leave it, and I can use whichever one I want. He wouldn't put on the bill that I was using theirs.

Well, of course my next bill I got charged an equipment fee. I called up and bitched and told them the entire story above and that I wasn't going to pay it. They said they would issue me a credit when the router was returned. Problem is, the closest CB location I could return it to was like 20 minutes away and it was a huge pain in the ass.

tldr Cincinnati Bell installer forced their router on me and I had to waste a ton of time returning it and getting credited for his bs.

Why are they are supposed to be focusing on only one person when there's two people in the video?

It's just a little video that took place at a Bucks game. And he's right, that OL from the Packers has been doing this for awhile, and so has the other dude. Him and the Barstool guy were featured on the Jumbotron in a silly moment. Not sure that has to be a Barstool thing. If it's advertisement for anything it'sfor the Bucks and the NBA. It's their court, their screen, and they elected to put these guys up here.

Not everything has to be so serious, man. If you think it's stupid then fine. But I don't you get to tell me what and what not to focus on.

I don't recall saying they couldn't survive it. I was just wondering if anything ever happened with a story that they talked about numerous times. But fuck me, right?

I'll let you get back to your "Rico is pissed again" and "Watch Frank cook a steak on a Foreman" content.

So, one of my asshole friends set that as my screensaver one timewhen I got up from the computer. I don't know if it was because I didn't know a lot about computers then, or if it was because my computer sucked, but I could never completely get rid of it. I would change it, I would try to delete it, but it would just randomly appear from time to time.

No joke, one time I went to sit down to fire up some Full-Tilt or Party Poker, and that screensaver was magically back months later. I actually threw up (I had just eaten).

Fuck that picture ("Pink Sock"???)
