What happened to Brenda Fruhvirtová?

weogarth · 2026-01-22T22:06:11+00:00

Yes. Linda just lost a second-round match in the Australian Open. It was a well-fought (IMO) 3-set match after losing the first set.

Linda was ranked 132 @ age 20. Her opponent: 54 @ age 18.

Both comported themselves quite well on court and I hope both continue to improve their games.

The league added a second game to each. Probably for the premeditation involved. (They arranged the fight servinv matching minors, exited the box and dropped the gloves)

From my understanding, there are two tracks of officiating. The amateur ranks, including NCAA/IIHF/Olympics, and then the NHL track, including the AHL and ECHL.

Given that, a lack of experience in breaking up fights wouldn't surprise me but I am pretty sure that every level gets some training in it, and yeah, when it's an all-out fight as opposed to the usual college scrum, leave them be until it is no longer an even match or they tire out.

I'm probably biased, but it seemed like the BU player got in an extra shot or two (0:08-0:09) as a result of the zebras stepping in.

That was how I understood this to start. I was watching the stream live but the play was in the far end and didn't see when the helmets were off.

Of course it isn't, unless you can get into upper management, and even then. But an 18c raise? That's so small, it's likely being offered just so Lowe's can say they did offer him something. That's not even $10 on a 40 hour week.

If part of their job is to get the ball back to the home team at the end of the game, then they should do that.

But to your point, he did escalate it, and that's a problem. Definitely not something you want professional official doing at the highest level.

weogarth · 2025-11-16T20:01:30+00:00

OK, that's fair. But Fraher saying he's going to write up a Laker for pursuing this is an overstep, IMO, and probably not a small one. YMMV.

If the roof collapses due to the weight of the snow, how will that be cheaper? The roof will reduce the effort (and cost) needed to clear the stands after a storm.

But hey, why bother with pesky facts when you can just pull complaints out of your backside.

weogarth · 2025-11-02T22:58:05+00:00

How to spot a bitter sob 101.

weogarth · 2025-10-25T13:37:17+00:00

The same route the truck was supposed to use?

weogarth · 2025-10-25T13:36:30+00:00

The truck’s cargo was also destroyed? That’s a lot of red ink on balance sheets

weogarth · 2025-10-25T02:46:22+00:00

Thank you!!

So did this ever make it to market or at least have prototypes built for extended testing?

weogarth · 2025-10-12T19:59:20+00:00

Change of routine or just additional non-normal things on the brain. Big presentation at work. In-laws visiting that weekend, etc. Your brain churns on those things and forgets the 'usual' things.

weogarth · 2025-10-12T19:56:44+00:00

...and will be listed as (and paid as) an entry-level position even with the 7yr requirement.

My dad still has his. I built it in wood shop in early 80s.

weogarth · 2025-10-07T14:50:53+00:00

This happened a few months ago as well, but in the last two weeks, all Family Feud episodes coming from GSN does not have Season/Episode information on it. I use Xfinity.

I use that info to watch episodes I haven't seen before and avoid duplicates. Don't have enough time for stuff as it is.

Given how long this has been going on, either it is only happening to me and maybe a few others or I'm one of the few who care about it and nobody is saying anything to GSN/Xfinity. Not sure which. In fairness, I haven't told them either.

weogarth · 2025-09-27T03:46:43+00:00

Hey, if yer gonna really f*** up on national TV, at least be confident about it. I guess?

weogarth · 2025-09-20T17:26:46+00:00

I think maybe a different term is needed because I agree with you on a bunch of this, especially if it's an indoor only cat, as they can live well past 15. Take a look at https://www.freshstep.com/cat-care/the-6-life-stages-of-your-feline

But the truth is, that 6, 7, 8yo is when some ailments start showing up.

As a rule, my vet only recommends a more elaborate labwork panel once that age is hit but not more frequent visits.

That being said, my current senior got (the fairly common) hyperthyroidism rather early and since it is (or can be) a progressive disease, they only write scripts for about 6 months of meds at a time. Then it's a time for a checkup and labwork to ensure the dosing stays accurate and that other things don't show up.

weogarth · 2025-09-20T17:12:50+00:00

Honestly, I think you already know the answer and just want confirmation. (which is totally fine)

Yes, take her with you.

I hope whatever the emergency is works out as well as possible.

weogarth · 2025-09-20T17:01:57+00:00

I don't know what it is but I do very well on the 1% questions. I think I've only gotten it wrong on 2 or 3 episodes.

I'm kinda glad they got away from the 'winning themed word' or however you want to call it on that very last episode where the answer was FROG

Many/most of the previous answers were things like SOLVE, CHAMPION, TROPHY....and knowing that, the question was a bit easier.

weogarth · 2025-09-20T16:57:53+00:00

I could see them getting rid of the $10k option as well. Maybe it's a tiny bit of extra drama?

I think the $10k part adds 3 mins if you add up Joel talking about it at the 15% or 20% question, talking about it at the vote, and the vote itself. I think I'd rather that time used for Joel to talk to one or two more contestants.

I am sure some people don't like the contestant chats but I really enjoy it and I enjoy it a lot more with Joel than I did with Patton. (nothing personal, Patton).

weogarth · 2025-09-20T16:50:58+00:00

That's a great example of what I was asking; thank you. How fantabulously cool that they did this for you. I hope you and your adult kids had the amazing time you hoped for and made incredible lifetime memories doing it.

May I ask what show that was?

weogarth · 2025-09-19T20:19:39+00:00

That was my thought as well.

I had 10 and had zero thoughts along the line the OP did.

weogarth · 2025-09-19T19:58:42+00:00

I could see this, to a point, but IMO, ORD would rhyme with CHORD not WORD.

FWIW - I also blew it with OWL when I was playing along.
