Very similar to Coldplay in that they’re fine, I enjoy some of their hits on occasion, and they give me the same musical vibe. didn’t catch the context of this initially, but whatever
I missed the whole Offspring talk but Smash is the best Offspring album. That album and Green Day Dookie ushered in “punk” to the mainstream.
its my guilty pleasure. I wish they weren’t so fucking delicious but I justify it because they die after a couple years anyway
Yeah that was a tough matchup. I honestly never realized six pence was a Christian crossover band until I saw this bracket.
Because TMB has an expert on everything: A gas station has 16 pumps (8 double-sided units). 8 of those pumps have an option for ethanol-free gas. How many gallons would you estimate the ethanol-free tank to hold?
Girls basketball team denied trophy after beating boys for championship Story by Kevin Harrish • Yesterday 6:38 PM 1622k294 Comments Agroup of fifth-grade girls in Hoover, Alabama was forced to play in against boys in a recreational youth league. And not only did they compete, they also beat the boys and won the league’s championship – but the league decided not to give them the trophy or name them champions. Girls basketball© Provided by The Comeback The girls have played in a competitive girls’ league for three years but were told they could not continue to use the city’s gyms for their practices unless they joined the city’s youth recreational league, meaning they would have to play with boys. They did that and fought their way to the league’s championship game. But before the game, they were told that they could play in the game, but would not be allowed to have the trophy if they won, according to Jayme Mashayekh, whose daughter was on the team. The girls did indeed win the game, but the trophy was awarded to the losing boys team, instead. “Excuse me? What? What did they do to get disqualified? Did they not pay their dues? Did they not play up a level in competition? Oh, it’s because they’re GIRLS?!?!” Mashayekh wrote in a Facebook post. “So sure enough these 5th grade girls played their hearts out, left it all on the floor and battled their male counterparts only to be told, ‘No, I’m sorry you don’t count.’” Mashayekh eventually updated the post revealing that the Hoover Rec Center offered to “make things right for the girls,” although it’s not exactly clear how. “On Wednesday, March 1st, 2023, the City of Hoover and the Hoover Parks and Recreation Board became aware of concerns about a recent youth basketball tournament. We are currently working to provide proper recognition to all the teams that were successful in that tournament. Also, we are reviewing the full extent of what occurred to ensure all future programs are handled appropriately,” Hoover City Administrator Allan Rice told AL.com in a statement. Hopefully, the girls are rightfully awarded their trophy.
It's so fucked up that you need a flight to hang out in the airport, I could be going to the fucking Amalfi Coast and the best part of the trip is hanging out in the airport ordering beers off a touch screen with all your devices charging.
When I first started my career I ended up on what eventually turned into a months-long engagement in Syracuse. Had to fly back and forth every week and we'd leave the client site as soon as we could on Fridays just to drink at the airport bar since it was, you know, better than pretending to be working. I would not choose to spend my actual free time consuming mediocre $15 beers in a confined area.
If I'm able, I'll intentionally get to the airport 2.5-3 hours early so I can crush some airport beers. The high of going on a trip make airport beers hit different. But SeaTac is a fucking miserable airport and security usually takes 2+ hours so that's been a hindrance.
Caught the infamous Lebron "Finals Block" game against the Warriors during a layover at Midway , Watching it in a nice lounge would've much better than chilling in that janky terminal
When does it take 2+ hours? I’ve always got through in under 30 min but I haven’t flown since like 2020 from there.
It's taken me that long several times over the past 2-3 years, really ever since Covid. Sorry for partying
i dont intend to get to the airport early but usually have ~30 minutes to dip into the lounge to grab a bite to eat and a drink MSP is so speedy I've been shrinking how early I leave, but still am pretty conservative regarding timing
If anyone is complaining about wait times and they don’t have at least precheck then they get the stamp
Negative and I've already been lambasted in the travel thread. I'm going to remedy it when I get back to the US in a few months.
I don’t think I’ve ever spent more than 20-30 mins in the SeaTac security line and I fly through there a lot.
I don't have an explanation. It's been miserable for the past 2-3 years and I fly out of there 5-6x/year.
