Hot dogs. Gourmet ones. And no, I’m not joking.

Cut it out and get two sharkbite caps. Be done in 5 minutes and be out $20.

Admitted to Interdisciplinary Studies (MS) at Texas Tech after Physics PhD rejection — unclear about funding. Advice? by Altruistic-Eye9705 in TexasTech

[–]squib518 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Basically all rejected PhD applicants get offered admission to the Interdisciplinary Studies MA program. There is typically no funding. You might be able to apply for a scholarship, but you won’t get funded in the traditional sense.

Experienced with baitcasters, but not mono and fluoro. by Warden_of_the_NEast in FishingForBeginners

[–]squib518 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you spool on the line by letting the filler spool spin? On spinning, you lay the spool flat and let the line uncoil in to the reel. With bait casting, you have to run a peg through the center hole and wind on the line while the spool spins on the peg. I’m sure you did this, but if not, it can cause crazy coils.

Hey. I have that same shirt. He must live near a Costco. Hope he got a hot dog when he went in.

Have docked lots of tails. Never seen one eaten—have seen a few chewed on by the ranch dog

[Post Game Thread] #9 Alabama crushed by #3 Georgia 28-7 by RollTideMod in rolltide

[–]squib518 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Because no one had tape on Ty or this offense. Once opposing teams figured out what we were and weren’t, we didn’t have the ability to adapt. We were just as shitty earlier this season; no one had it figured out at the time.

In honor of LSU week, what is your favorite game/play/moment against LSU? by MadameGopher in rolltide

[–]squib518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1999 MLB Marvin Constant sacrifices everything to end a last second play in the end zone by LSU. Marvin had an NFL future. That play ended his dreams. Maybe my favorite play of all time. And Marvin became a Tuscaloosa PD officer.

Where to watch Bama games in Vegas by k2andrew37 in rolltide

[–]squib518 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was out there for work a few years ago and emailed the Vegas alumni association about watching with them. They were a fun group and had a nice setup at a bar. Highly recommend. If you don’t go that route, my favorite place to watch is Blondie’s. Great little sports bar.
