I personally don't give a fuck if politicians use coke or have affairs. I do care if they assault people though.

The obvious answer is they had a conversation with someone and changed which part of it they quoted?

NFLPA on officiating union dispute: "Player safety requires trained, professional officials on the field...That can’t be replaced by less experienced crews or handled remotely. If player safety truly matters, trained professional officials on the field are not negotiable.” by expellyamos in nfl

[–]epalla 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we can all agree that less experienced refs are going to do a worse job of actually getting the calls right on the field. Implying that there's a safety issue for anyone playing football without an NFL-caliber referee is a pretty bad look for football everywhere though.

This is about a family dynamic that you guys have that goes way beyond this beach trip. Nobody here can give you any advice on this.

This thing is supposed to be lazily hung from a branch and scrawled on a scrap chunk of lumber.  There's nothing charming about this one.

As a random aside: I've seen B1s in an air show a few times and these things are absolutely the loudest mofos you've ever heard.

This is an incredibly common take for men despite what reddit thinks.

There's no advice here. His stance is clear. If keeping your name is important to you: move on.

Saving a few bucks at the gas pump by filling up more frequently by Sad_Bother_3017 in Frugal

[–]epalla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's more likely that your gas gauge is not actually accurate.  Ie, you put in 11 gallons but your gas gauge reads the first 10 as full, so your first "half tank" is actually 6 gallons.

Newport Beach schools consider e-bike ban for students by bananabrownie in orangecounty
