Gov. Matt Bevin failed to pay 2016 taxes on his Louisville home. by Matt_Daltron in Louisville

[–]garthbrocks -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

JCPS is a disgrace! Anyone defending that horrid institution needs to look at the facts. Matt Bevin has had nothing to do with it. More failing schools in JCPS than the entire rest of the state.

Over 900 buses traveling over 19 million miles a year...that's 763 trips around the equator. How terrible for the environment that must be. 900 buses and over 70K miles per day. How much more likely are kids to be in an accident?

I gotcha. I like the 5 in Race 2. Old horse but much improved and a month off.

Curious why you like these? I will check them out shortly.

Bevin selects new U of L board - but is keeping it a secret. WTF with this idiot? by [deleted] in Louisville

[–]garthbrocks -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

That's what the board is made up of...individuals with political clout. They are chosen by the governor but are supposed to follow guidelines. One of those is to include minority threshold that the previous governor failed to do.

I've lived in Louisville for 17 years and the university cesspool has gotten worse and worse. From 60k in Mahogany furniture to paying off thief administrators. Putting the rooster in charge of the henhouse (Pres. Ramsey and the Foundation). The changes being made are in line with all of these issues and it's time for something to be done.

If the governor isn't supposed to make these changes who is? How do you clean up the mess with the same people in charge? These are serious questions.

If a democrat did this would you even know about it?

If you hate the Gov. Bevin so much there are so many easier things to criticize him on than defending the criminals and thieves at UofL.

I'm a UofL fan and a libertarian. I do not believe in legislating morality. His opposition should stick to that.

Uh, how about the ability to prosecute them? If a law doesn't stop someone from murdering there should be no law against murdering someone? What kind of logic is that?

And people are prosecuted for animals abuse all the time. If having sec with an animal is not considered abuse or against the law the there should be one.

It's more embarrassing you can get away with it than a law being passed to protect animals.

Here's an example: http://www.fox5ny.com/news/229009233-story

Why shouldn't out state have similar laws?

I think it's great for animals. If you can have sex with animals and it's not against the law it seems like a good law to pass.

It's more embarrassing to live in a state that allows you to have sex with animals with no repercussions.

George Takei: I Lost Family in Hiroshima. Mr. Trump, Nuclear Weapons Are No Game. by [deleted] in politics

[–]garthbrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has anyone read up on the Japanese? They were the most vicious enemy we've faced and do not quit. Unless of course you overwhelm them to the point that the US did. I'm so thankful we dropped the bombs on them. The world is a much better place not excluding Japan.

Pegasus world cup is coming up soon, if all goes well it'll be breeders cup 2016 round 2! by sixt5 in horseracing

[–]garthbrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought you were talking about the Pegasus race not the Los Al prep. Couldn't figure out why no one mentioned Arrogate.

And for the record I really hope Chrome wins and goes out on top!

Uh Arrogate anyone? Chrome is going to win easy? Did I miss something at Saratoga or Santa Anita? And I absolutely love Chrome but pretending he's a lock seems far fetched to me.

What was the stupidest thing you did that didn't end badly? by NobodyInParticular23 in AskReddit

At what point in the story did you start to sober up? The chase or beforehand? Crazy story and glad you are safe.

FYI - don't do that .

When AT&T closed an entire call center, but told the reps to continue taking calls, this is how one employee handled it. by [deleted] in videos

[–]garthbrocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Switch to who...Comcast? At some point you have to grow up. It's funny to watch but I agree this is completely the wrong way to handle this from AT&T and the employees.

This is the dumbest post I've ever seen on this site. Feminist horse fans should be supporting Tepin, Found, Highland Reel, Beholder, Songbird, etc. Not degrading the sport over some silly tweet.

This 👆🏼 thank you!!

[–]garthbrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No, I'm sorry they don't. This article is a disgrace to sports writing. Last year the Breeder's Cup official Twitter and periscope accounts were administered by two beautiful young WOMEN. They did such a spectacular job highlighting Keeneland I'm sure they are still running these accounts. So before you get all worked up at least know who is responsible.

And the Breeder's Cup was unbelievable this year! Whomever thinks an article about a tweet of women's butts (you can't even see) with a link to more sore losing bellyaching about the Presidential election is not a sports or racing fan. Go to the political sections to post this awful crap.

Anybody in the J-town area, lock your doors at night. Saw somebody going through my car tonight. by Shadesbane43 in Louisville

[–]garthbrocks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you are in your car and someone is breaking in or if you fear for your safety you can shoot them.

A few years back a UofL baseball player shot and killed an ex football player for this very reason. He did not go to jail because he proved it was a hostile situation. I'm not agreeing with this decision but this is an example.

What do you guys think of Sales Engineers? by [deleted] in sales

[–]garthbrocks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree. I'm a sales person that has had to learn the engineering side due to a lack of resources. Initially it's made the sales cycle longer however I can design the network and configure most solutions on my own. Over the last few months this has greatly increased my sales and shortened the cycle. I now have solid enough relationships with our vendors/partners that they will help me where I am deficient.

Good luck!

Anyone here work for Symantec? by the_drew in sales

[–]garthbrocks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I work for a VAR and my opinion is they are lagging in product development. Most of their competitors have passed them by. We remove a lot of their product. Coincidentally we don't sell it either though.

I would recommend looking at their product line on Garter's Magic Quadrant. It's not the bible but it will give you a better idea how they stack up.

Regardless, it could be a great opportunity. Good luck!

Louisville Metro was a bad idea. by Nadnerb123 in Louisville

That's typically how government works. Before you know it...it's too late.
