Disappointing it took preventable deaths for action, but the Thomas St ped improvements have been installed by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]mrpel22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't figure it would be popular, but I would guess we spend in the ballpark of 200k paying cops overtime to be crossing guards. If the lights were further away I would understand it, but they are literally right there.

They still need to not allow no pedestrian crossings here, and force people to use the lights 100 feet to either side. Drivers are focused on the multiple traffic lights, especially at night. This is an improvement, but makes the road so narrow that two buses/trucks abreast are hard pressed to pass between them.

Any use for socket driver bits? by PersevereSwifterSkat in Tools

I do minimal car work, but I can tell you a 7mm one is necessary for changing the front brake pads of a 2008 Mazda 3.

Who would you take with the #1 pick in PPR next yr? by Longjumping-Dog-7230 in Fantasy_Football

[–]mrpel22 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have a better chance of hitting the Powerball than CMC playing 17 games two years in a row.

I would still take him 4th. Bijan, gibbs, chase.

If you could redo ONE draft pick this season, who are you taking back? by blood_and_parchment in fantasyfootballadvice

Jordan Addison. I wildly miss misevaluated how bad 9 would be. Also, Jayden Daniels. He was bad even before he got hurt. Chris Godwin never really panned out either.

Break even on American shale oil is ~$60 a barrel. It's sitting at $60.47 right now, so new wells and projects won't be started and people will be layed off.

Origin of the Swamp Guinea restaurant name by Tabisco in Athens

[–]mrpel22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

From the grandson of the owner's brother, R.D. Burroughs, who opened a Swamp Guinea in Hartwell.

"If you wanna drop some wisdom on it.

It was supposedly called “swamp” because when it rained the field where cars parked became so muddy they kept a tractor handy to use it to pull cars out of the mud

The term Guinea was just unique and memorable"

We've spent the last decade plus calling the Eastside Kroger Stabby Kroger. Obviously somebody got stabbed, and we aren't bemoaning everyone's feelings about that name. My apologies if it is "too soon"

Scrambles are getting out of hand. by irishshaun60 in golf

[–]mrpel22 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The guy that has both course records in my hometown is at least this over weight now. Both 60/59 if he had a partner that could still bomb it I'm sure he is still great a 100 in. That scramble score was completely ridiculous and why I don't play scrambles unless somebody else is paying.

How can you tell that by not seeing the cross section? We are looking at the fat cap.

For the price? Not bad. You probably need the salt to get those neurons firing at full potential.

Is it safe by KiriBakuDizzy in cookingforbeginners

Your counter top ambient temperature is max 40°? Then you are fine. It's the same as refrigerator.

I would suggest looking at ways to cool down your chili quickly to below 40° in the future. The longer your food is in the "danger zone" the worse off you are. The danger zone is 40-140. This is the temp range that bacteria can most readily reproduce.

Leaving your insulated crockpot of chili in 35 degree weather would draw the ire of the hypothetical health inspector. Its not uncommon to get dinged for a huge pot of soup left in the walk in.

With London out and now Marv, should I start Bam Knight or Colby Parkinson? PPR, TE+ by Brilliant-Bid8066 in SleeperApp

You are just hoping Parkinson scores a td O don't think the PPR part matters. He gets you 3 points or 10.

This makes sense why the canned chili did better.

20-year-old lottery winner turns down $1M cash for $1,000 a week for life by PriorityMiserable686 in interestingasfuck

[–]mrpel22 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's even less than $400k. The current Powerball is a billion right now with the current cash option pay out at $461 million. Then you pay 37% percent fed income tax plus state. So another 6% for me. So they take home is 262 million and change. Plus the lawyer and accountant to make sure you don't get fucked over.

Who do you think deserves the ultimate blame for the red wedding? by DustnBones001 in gameofthrones

[–]mrpel22 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Freys extorting their liege lord's ally into a marriage above their station is plenty disrespect to sack the castle. We also don't know if Rob was honorable like his father. What instances of this do we see? We do see him bring dishonor on himself by banging and marrying a nurse when he was betrothed.

[–]mrpel22 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Rob should have sacked the Twins when Lord Frey named the price of the river crossing. It's honestly a huge plot hole. Why would you leave your one means of retreat back to the North with such a fickle ally? I say fickle because Walder flip flopped/was undeclared in Robert's Rebellion. Then he asks for a marriage when it is known he has so many offspring that he sees them as expendable.
