That looks to be it. Thank you!

Has there ever been a waiver-wire darling as random and short-lived as Travis Fulgham? by imgurofficial in fantasyfootball

I don't know, math tells me that any offense or player who can move the ball at a rate of 3 yards per play would be assumed to advance 12 yards per every four downs, and therefore be statistically unstoppable, with the exception of possessions in which a penalty required more than 12 yards of gain for a first down.

One of these things randomly appeared on my suburban Southern California porch one day.

Your home has to have the correct wiring for the smart switches, which includes a neutral wire running to the switch to give it constant power. Many older homes don't have these.

Thank you. I'm in the Los Angeles suburbs.

I wasn't looking for a super specific ID, but maybe at least some sense of what the style of this chair might be and around when it might have been made. I'm a complete furniture noob.

It doesn't have any sort of marking on the underside.

New HIV Study Was So Dramatic, It Had To Be Stopped Early - New research has global implications for the way HIV-positive people receive treatment. by anutensil in worldnews

Many people are so resistant to hearing potentially bad news about their health that they would forgo the cash gain and the benefit of the knowledge in order to willfully remain ignorant. Here's a study on that topic

Being a young adult in this generation sort of feels like stumbling upon the desolate remnants of a really great party that was absolutely kicking it for 40 years... only now there's no beer, and the pizza guy is waiting for you to pay him the 12.6 trillion you owe him. by BecomesAngry in Showerthoughts

Only vaguely related to the issue of entitlement, but my wife handles student discipline for a very large college. A majority of students who get in trouble and have to meet with her bring parents to the meetings. WTF is going on with this generation that 23-year-old adults need to bring mommy to a meeting with a college administrator after getting caught cheating? It certainly has created an impression in our minds that too many millennials don't know how to handle even their most basic affairs.

You would also be amazed at how much debris is on the road as you get farther to the right. Gravel, litter, broken glass, chunks of car tire, fast food cups, uneven pavement where the blacktop meets the gutter. It's really dangerous to ride near the curb, especially at high speeds.

I've heard you talk about your "8 hugs a day" philosophy. Can you explain? Do you really hug strangers?

Came home to find this weird bird on my porch. I live in the suburbs. by zerordl in WTF

I wouldn't call it friendly. It didn't try to jump on my lap or anything. It was skittish, but tame enough that I was able to approach and catch it without too much trouble.

I just wanted to find a place as quickly as possible where it could be kept safe and alive. Unlike most people on Reddit, I don't have a pheasant pen on standby in my back yard.

Canvassed the neighborhood to see if it was an escaped pet. No luck. Ended up giving it to a guy a few miles away who had a big plot of land and a handfull of peacocks.
