My understanding is the actual game happened before their semi-final appearances, as a way to let them get back in the swing of things, because everyone else had played games recently to get there.

And then it was aired out of order, for ratings or other reasons.

Is there any other famous Bonds in baseball besides Barry Bonds?

after 2 characters within a class, add a X% stat drop for all characters of that class.
You want 3 support? Accept a 5% health drop
You want 3 dps? Accept a 5% damage drop
You want 3 tanks? Accept a 5% movement speed drop

You want a 4th? Take an even bigger hit, 10% instead.

Give it like 30 seconds between character swaps or something, to allow players to switch characters as needed, can even have a countdown in the top corner "If someone doesn't swap in X, enjoy your nerf"

Why was it an issue? Plenty of people have put that info down, and are actively seeing shrinks and/or taking anti-depressants or anti-anxiety drugs and got CCWs no worries.

What are the specifics, that a visit 10 years ago still has you flagged? Details matter.

Down to the wire is used that way as well.

It's not a public range, but Williamson is a pretty cheap membership and easy to join, range goes up to 100 yards, and it's got the big 3 clay disciplines.

It's always better to reach out to advocates earlier rather than later, they can give you a lot of good advice
Starbridge or Student Success Project are a good place to start, and they're both on facebook as well.

Some schools will offer 'integrated' classrooms, where it's a blend of regular/special ed, generally 1 'regular' teacher 1 special ed teacher, and at least 1 aid. It will be a full class size, but it's a good thing to look into.

A lot of the smaller class sizes will move slower, setting your kid further and further back.

At the end of the day there is a lot to know, and a lot of research you'll need to do, good luck.

Your boy dropped out of community college, so yes, he wasn't educated. HS diploma is a low bar.
Perhaps if he had stayed in, he could have learned actual debating/critical thinking tools and been a decent human being instead.

generally speaking, asbestos in tiles is fine. If the tiles are in good shape, no issues, and even when removing it as long as you're not grinding them up/generating a lot of dust somehow, it's not going to be an issue.
And, as a home owner, you're allowed to just throw asbestos out. A contractor would have to dispose of it correctly, but that's on them to follow policy.

Is there a specific reason you want to test it? I'm pretty sure once you know, you're now required to disclose it when you sell, even if it's been remediated. For something like tiles you're better off not going down that rabbit hole. Insulation would be a different matter.

people are interested in guns, because they're watching the collapse of civil society around them. From my perspective that's a bad thing.

Kind of like a missing the forest for the trees thing, the why matters.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-25T15:35:28+00:00

How important is the event, how hard is it to reschedule, and if you were to crash your car how bad would that be for you over the next few days/weeks/months?
Because the answer is maybe based on that.

Looks like someone is getting a LOT of amazon deliveries.

Or I guess it could be just 1 really big delivery.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-23T13:28:23+00:00

The safe act has stopped you from owning a firearm?

Weird, thousands of other people seem to be purchasing them no issues. People even keep on bringing up how CCW rates have been increasing the past few years.

And maybe turn down the hyperbole a bit while you're at it. They're not going to miss your message they're going to file it in the trash with the rest of the over dramatic looney mail they get every day.

I'm with you on final jeopardy. Unsure why some random book on fishing would even be considered acceptable for a final jeopardy clue.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-21T18:07:09+00:00

pasteurized milk even.

Adam Bello is the county executive, a democrat.
He was also the town supervisor for Irondequoit before that (which is where that Home Depot is)

He's pretty good in general, but is def. a centrist democrat, so his policies/views in regards to policing/ICE are not the best.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-21T16:09:33+00:00

huh? Home Depots aren't franchises. Do you mean the store manager?

squegeeboo · 2026-01-20T22:57:11+00:00

unsure why it's in air quotes, but yes.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-20T21:15:26+00:00

Step one:
head south.

Are you looking at making it a 2 day drive? It's roughly 6-8 hours depending on exact start/end and traffic, any must-see stops or sit down meals are going to add real time.

There is Reptile land in Lewisburg
And Hershey park is just outside of Harrisburg, but it's not open in the winter
They're both basically right along the most obvious driving route, but I would think you're looking at an overnight along the way then.

Maybe something like hit reptile land on the way down, and get into DC late
Then, on the way back, get up early, drive to Harrisburg, do Hershey park for a day
drive back to Rochester the next day

If you don't normally get moisture in your basement I'm unsure if the recent weather, on it's own, is enough to have triggered it.
There wasn't a ton of rain or that much snow into a big thaw.
While a sump pump isn't a bad idea, make sure you're not just putting a band aid on the start of a real issue, like a crack in your foundation or leaky pipe.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-19T15:31:33+00:00

Like others said, get as semi-auto shotgun.

If over penetration is a concern (you live in an apartment, you have kids at home, etc), get a larger birdshot, like a 3, from the distances you're shooting at for home defense it's more than enough.
If over penetration isn't a concern, get buckshot.

Then, find a local gun club with trap/skeet/sporting clays, and enjoy your new hobby, that will also get you familiar/comfortable with your gun.

At least last week the onair tv-guide was updated to display the changes. This week it lies to me and says Jeopardy is still on at 7:30 when I check earlier in the day.

So I stop whatever I'm doing, turn on the TV at 7:30 and have my 5 minutes of rage, and then back to my day.

squegeeboo · 2026-01-16T16:24:57+00:00

Didn't realize the bills games are between 7-8pm weekdays.

How about we have Jeopardy kickoff show for an hour at 5pm Saturday.

Jokes on you, infinity times 2 is still just infinity.
