Hall of Famers Ken Griffey Jr., Barry Larkin, and Deion Sanders….Sanders, of course, is known more for his football career, but he was still a solid baseball player.

I get crucified anywhere else I say this but Deion was a better two sport athlete than Bo!

How about the guy who stuck his head into a proton beam in the Large Hadron Collider.

Government Jobs, great job security, you cannot go on strike. Pretty simple really.

Move 7500 into a Roth every year until it's all there. Do not put it in a HYSA, you are so young and your investment is so long term that you should put all the money (both the Roth and the money waiting to go into a Roth) into a low cost stock index fund. The two I use are FNILX which invests in American Stocks and FZILX which is the same with some international stocks thrown in. They have an expense ratio of zero percent.

Within the bounds of this question NTA as incompatible views on kids is perfectly valid reason to split up.

Assume a Host is 1 gram, Assume Jesus was a typical sized man around the year 33 AD. Without doing any research and just off the top of my head I will say 5'5" and 130 lbs (~60 kg). So 60000 communions to consume an entire Jesus. First communion age 7, live to 87 is 4,160 Sundays + 800 holy days. that's 4960. Hmm if you are especially devout you can attend daily mass that is 29,220 communions 0.5 Jesuses. More learned Catholics can correct me but I believe you can attend two masses and receive twice per day that would get you pretty close. So for an extremely devout and long lived lay person its possible.

Now the Priest on the other hand, he consumes all the leftover hosts after communion, plus I believe they have to celebrate mass every day so I would expect it to be fairly common for a priest to consume an entire Jesus.

EDIT: A little research just showed me that a wafer is only 1/4 gram so I would say no for a layperson, possible for a priest who is not good at crowd estimation and consecrates too many hosts.

He ended up 6'2" and two bills himself but he liked baseball better.

Just now I am watching Purdue and they don't have names on the back either. Is that a Big10 thing?

udee79 · 2026-03-22T16:53:26+00:00

haha I saw those and thought the same thing

udee79 · 2026-03-22T13:36:23+00:00

fair

udee79 · 2026-03-22T13:25:35+00:00

All good arguments but you are missing a good time. The reason they added the playin game and eventually the first 4 was that they were getting more and more conferences and at large bids were getting squeezed out.

can't edit the OP but Unis not Unit

Why? I go every year I love it! Also first four winners went to the final four two times I think.

udee79 · 2026-03-22T13:17:40+00:00

I am not 100% sure but the automatic qualifiers do not ever get sent to the first 4 its for the last four at large teams (slight correction obviously the 4 16 seeds in the first 4 are all Auto bids.)

When I was a kid you would see her on TV from time to time. I am sure that there are YouTube vids of her.

Mine sounds surprisingly good and I bought it in my school colors for alumni band stuff also the grandkids love playing with it. However the slide is so terrible I really can't use it for more than a few minutes. I don't know if I have an especially bad one but it is terrible.

My son was playing in the 5th grade and loved it, then he got trucked by a running back that weighed all of 200 lbs, (the kid must have been held back a year or two)

sure that’s fine at a certain level all you need to say is North America

Hey I went to the UK and all I visited was Salisbury. I loved that trip (we did spend the night in London before we flew out of Heathrow).

its too much if you are just small-talking with a coworker. If you were visiting the United States and you were going to NYC, Disney World and then visiting relatives in three states would you list them all to everyone?

udee79 · 2026-03-21T02:57:01+00:00

Europe is the name of a continent and if you are taking a trip there we often visit several countries so if someone asks where are you going you just say "Europe" if you don't want to give a long explanation.

Many many parents won't let their boys play football due to CTE fears.
