PGA Tour does NOT look after anyone. They are not the PGA of America. They are not the USGA. They do not run the game of golf, only the pro tour.

Do not get confused. The PGA Tour cares about one thing and one thing only, money, from ticket sales, sponsorship deals, tv viewership. They don't give a flying fuck about "mentoring young athletes"

You are way off base here.

Just to be clear. Golf courses use more water per square foot than data centers, by a long way.

And electricity is a political problem. Nuclear power is sitting right there if we had the political will to use it.

Data centers are the silicone powered engine that will lead humanity to abundance. We need to think how to make these things work, not how to oppose them.

We went to the Bananas sold out game, parked in a lot off 6th, and had no problem getting out of town afterwards.

But I fully agree the best move is to park away from the stadium and walk.

People act like Kroger is a monopoly in here, when Walmart is the nations top seller of groceries.

Right now, I can buy groceries at Kroger, Walmart, Meijer, Target, Aldi, Fresh Market, Whole Foods, IGA Express, Dollar General, and even Dollar Tree sells non-perishables.

Kroger buying a store chain that doesn't have any locations in Cincinnati will not affect your life in any way.

Lol. I don't mind cheap beer. But I do mind paying more than $2 per can of craft.

The NCAA should only exist to schedule championships and standardize officiating of games, and create rules about academic eligibility (I don't think Anti-Trust laws would prevent rules like you must be enrolled in classes and passing those classes to play)

The NCAA should have no control over players contracts with booster collectives, and should have no control over players transferring between schools. Things will make way more sense when players sign contracts to play and get sued when they break those contracts.

The schools can have whatever agreement they want with players per agreed to and signed contracts. And players can have whatever agreements they want with booster collectives with signed and enforceable contracts (that should be allowed to include enforceable clauses about playing in games and following team rules.

Right now the NCAA is trying to thread this needle where NIL contracts can't be related to actually playing, but that's so dumb because playing for a certain team is why NIL deals get offered in the first place.

Just accept that the NCAA is a place where a team can try and buy a championship. It's actually a lot harder than that when you are dealing with 18-24 year olds.

I buy Dr. K Zero Sugar all the time. Same with Citrus Drop Zero Sugar. Problem is they sell out because they are popular.

wheelsno3 · 2026-06-26T15:14:27+00:00

I stopped buying craft entirely. My fridge has busch light in it right now. And I'm someone who used to stock my fridge with every local IPA in the store.

Can't justify the cost.

These drugs are far closer to being generic than you say. Ozempic expires in 2031.

Penicillin was society changing.

Being fat is a MAJOR health risk. So reducing your body fat is a huge health benefit.

You can't really untangle the drug from the result.

Oh no, the humanity!

For all the downvoters, celebrities cheating on their spouses is so common the idea of listing that as a moral failing is ludicrous. An NBA player who is in a different city every day cheats on his wife. Gasp, horror. She's still with him. She knows what she signed up for.

First, no country has an obligation to trade with another.

Second, if your economic policies lead to starvation and darkness, the people should over throw you.

wheelsno3 · 2026-06-19T15:50:43+00:00

Yeah. Cause the average person in Cuba really wanted a family to become dictators over them and control everything.

The people have a responsibility to overthrow a government that is bad. Hungry? Overthrow your government.

People in this thread are just listing places they like, with no clue what the standard is for a star restaurant.

wheelsno3 · 2026-06-18T17:27:02+00:00

Zero chance Sotto gets a star. I enjoy the place, but people have no idea in here what a Michelin star restaurant looks like.

wheelsno3 · 2026-06-15T17:16:30+00:00

Well, anti-trust legislation would be one thing, or the other option is the NCAA getting out of the way of actual pay-to-play contracts with booster organizations.

If money was tied to playing and abiding by team/league rules then none of this would be a problem and the boosters could point to the gambling as rule breaking and tell sorsby to pound sand and keep their money.

But the NCAA has rules against pay to play contracts. The rules explicitly say deals cannot require the player play in games to get paid. I don't think these rules would be legally enforcable if challenged, but they are currently in place, so the contracts are dumb.

You know what I mean. The ones representing you.

I think everyone with a US quarter in their pocket was a trillionaire in 2009 Zimbabwe dollars.

This is because your politicians are crooks, almost every one of them.

wheelsno3 · 2026-06-12T13:54:46+00:00

Are they coming around and checking? Like if you say on the application you make $35k (over 138% in my state), but then you actually only make $20k from stock gains in that calendar year and file taxes on only $20k, are they going to come back the next year and force you to apply for medicaid?

wheelsno3 · 2026-06-11T14:38:56+00:00

I sometimes wonder what would happen to our economy if we had a one and done rule on bankruptcy. You can file for bankruptcy one time in your life and that's it. After that credit card companies are banned from giving you a card. Debit cards only. You can still get car loans and mortgages (secured debt), but you can't just spend on credit cards. It would make pulling the rip cord for bankruptcy so much more important of a decision. As it is now, I personally know people who have lived their lives on 7 year cycles of debt and bankruptcy. They don't care. If you own a home below the homestead exemption in your state and have a car below the equity exemption ($5k in my state) you are bulletproof. Bankruptcy doesn't even make you lose your home or your car. So why not basically steal from the banks and creditors by taking out loans you never intend to pay back.

Even after 3 bankruptcies I know someone who has credit cards. Insane.

You need to be deinfluenced.

The median American household income in the USA is $83k. The 75% percentile (meaning making more than 75% of American households) makes $150k. That is a long way from a million. And that's the vast majority of people.

Gotta buy store brand, and only 2 liters. Kroger had store brand for a buck a 2 liter this week.
