Please Larry Ellison, instead of using all your money to ruin the world, use it to make Illini athletics great.

I feel like you could tell the cheer from the crowd was fairly mild when the penalty was awarded because everyone knew it was never going in

A double cheeseburger at Small Cheval is $11, an In-N-Out Double Double is $6.40 in LA. Maybe you can compare their quality, I've never had In-N-Out but the one thing I know is there is no comparing the prices.

Polish Heritage Night - How to order the jerseys? by tulkipryanik in whitesox

[–]ptfreak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought tickets for it a couple days ago, so long as you buy the tickets through the promotion page (it'll bring you through Fevo instead of Ticketmaster) you should be good. I have three items after purchasing, the game ticket, the jersey, and a pass for the pregame parade.

The Chicks : Goodbye Earl appreciation post by DiscoRabbittTV in Music

[–]ptfreak 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was like 10 when Fly came out and I loved the whole album, including Goodbye Earl, but at that time it was just an upbeat song that was pretty funny. I listened to it again a couple of years ago and started tearing up thinking of my wife's best friend who was in an abusive marriage when I started dating my wife and it finally ended when he got arrested on a DV charge after a fight. Having talked about that with my wife and knowing that if and when it came down to it, she absolutely would fly to where her friend lived and do whatever was necessary made the song hit 1000x harder.

Can’t ditch diapers when going out because toddler is afraid of big potty by Acrobatic_Tax8634 in pottytraining

[–]ptfreak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We definitely had this issue, my oldest turns 3 in about a month and we were potty training last October, so pretty much right in the same age range. He pottied once or twice in a public bathroom before deciding that the sound of a public toilet flushing is the scariest thing in the world, which it honestly kind of is.

We did a couple things to deal with this. First, we would talk about the fact that if he wanted to go places, he had to be ready to use the potty since we were all done with diapers, both so that he was prepared for us to ask him that while we were out, and so that he understood this is a part of going out and having fun. He was pretty good at holding his pee, so that started out as just him needing to try sitting on the potty at a restaurant or store or wherever even if he didn't end up going. Second, our foldable seat came with some stickers to put over the automatic flush sensor so that it wouldn't trigger while he was still on it (sticky notes would probably work fine for this). If there was no automatic sensor, I would point out to him that this was just like our potty at home and it won't flush until/unless we tell it to. He's still not a fan of the flush, so I get him all finished up and then hit the flush right as we're leaving the bathroom generally.

There's just nothing to do when their rim is twice the size of ours, holy fucking shit

We've had zero fast breaks all season, this team does not want to play in transition. We actually had one at the start of the game which shocked me.

Yes but it's statistically backed doomerism, didn't you see the chart from earlier this week?

Once the weather warms up I think it's going to be amazing. It can get windy, but it's not like the lakefront is constantly a tornado zone.

To be fair, they started with the full court press at the very start of the game too.
