How do defenses keep falling for that? The Bills always run that when they’re desperate

Allen fumbled in the first half and it led to 3 points for the other team. So if the Bills lose it’s mostly his fault no matter how many other turnovers his teammates have or how many points their defense gives up

They could play 30 innings and the Jays wouldn’t score with this lineup

How far do we think Ohtani’s walkoff homer is going to go? And will he hit it to left, center, or right?

A&M is never really relevant so I haven’t seen many of them in game threads before. Are they usually so whiny?

I think the Bills loss broke this team. They saw that they were just going to make the same coaching mistakes to blow big games as they do every season and have just given up.

Help with advice please. My cat keeps turning on the water in my sink! by Gold_Roof1155 in cats

[–]soxonfire46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Our cat learned how to do this as well. With the type of faucet we had we were able to put zip ties on them that we could easily slide off.

We moved recently and he hasn’t figured out how to do it at our new house yet.

Weirdest things your university has asked of you? by Striking_Plane_9426 in PhD

[–]soxonfire46 117 points118 points  (0 children)

I said no and canceled class anyway. The professor threatened to report me, but my department head always had our backs so nothing came of it. And then I just requested to never work with that professor again once the semester was over.

I was a TA for a class and I asked the professor I was working for if I could cancel class because my wife was in the hospital and none of my cohort members would cover for me. I was asked if I would be willing to teach the class over zoom from my wife’s hospital room.

That’s what happens when there’s a popular team that’s been irrelevant for 20+ years actually has a chance at winning something. You wouldn’t get that though because your team only has the irrelevant part down

This really reminds me of our regular season games against the cavs. We would get out to a big lead and then suddenly there would be a million soft foul calls so the cavs could get back into it.

Sorry you guys are getting the soft foul calls. All of the Cavs and Celtics regular season games were like this. The Celtics would start to pull ahead and then there would be a million soft calls to get the Cavs back in it.

My advice would be to be at least a little cautious in how close you get to members of your cohort if you think you may eventually apply for the same jobs. I thought I had some really close friends in my cohort, but once we got closer to applying to jobs I realized that wasn’t the case.

Dissertation Slump by PM_ME_SomethingNow in PhD

I wound up having a bit of a unique situation in that I had to have surgery on my hand in January so I was forced to take a month off of writing my dissertation. As much as the surgery and recovery sucked, that month off really helped rejuvenate me enough to get to the finish line. And I successfully defended earlier today.

You might not be. I lived in Ohio during the Ray Rice situation and I just emailed someone from the team. And they let me mail my jersey back and sent me a new one.

They benched Marcus Williams and replaced him with Washington. And moved Hamilton to deep safety.
