Eleven Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 This move was almost a disaster - I almost had to spend 2 nights in North Carolina. Should be able to get to sleep at a normal time tonight in my apartment in Oklahoma. Phew. Things you now have going for you: cheap gas, QuikTrip, Whataburger, the best barbecue in the US. Things you now have going against you: 3.2 beer, no good ethnic food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eleven Posted July 29, 2017 Report Share Posted July 29, 2017 I just had to leave one of my favorite spots because that slime Chris Collins walked in. At the time, I was having a wonderful conversation with the bartender and two grad students / waitresses, one of whom happens to be my girlfriend. Collins: "I was sitting next to Reince Priebus when he got the call that he was fired." Me: Looks over. Sees slime. Shakes head, bartender looks at me, I mouth " that guy" and then whisper that there's no way the story is true. Please note: I LOVED Collins as a county exec. Really did. I even loved the "red budget." We needed that, and I credit that for a lot of our recent successes. I note his promise that he'd never be a career politician (and it's always ok to change one's mind), but he's a great executive and a poor legislator. He is Wormtail to Trump's Voldemort.

I think I would have had the same reaction had it been Collinsworth. He's not offensive; he's just a drip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What is it about him that screams slimeball? I can't put my finger on it, but he just has a look about him that screams to me, "do not trust this man". Maybe it is the reptilian eyes or something.

Again, like I said, a good, maybe even great, county exec. Hey, Scott, the video link thing is broken. I haven't verified but my quick answer is that you need to make sure videos are now HTTPS links because videos won't be served from a non-secure server. But maybe we had issues before that it had to be http? I don't recall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do I need to clear cache? Scott, don't kill me, but I did clear cache, and no vid. Just a hell of a lot of blank spaces on our posts. Mac / Safari.

Just a hell of a lot of blank spaces on our posts. Mac / Safari. Eh. I know. There is an issue with the way the board is parsing the URL. It is requesting http instead of https and the browsers are blocking it. I'm trying to look for the code, but I don't really know what I'm looking for. Which makes it difficult.

Thanks for all you do around here to ensure we have a fun place to relax and escape from reality from time to time.

I will probably end up doing a search and replace in the database to fix this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk to someone who has worked for him, either in government or in and of the businesses he "saved". You'd be hard pressed to find anyone who doesn't hate him.

Sabres Fan in NS Posted July 30, 2017 Report Share Posted July 30, 2017 My wife and I are downsizing with the hopes of moving out to the coast and having to move as little as possible. Anybody want a vintage 1980 'simili bois' computer desk, printer cabinet and small file cabinet? The price is very low ... free, or even less. Yup, I am prepared to pay someone to haul it the heck out of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winston Posted July 31, 2017 Report Share Posted July 31, 2017 Lately I've been trying to get more into documentaries and books. I feel like I've been in a bit of a rut where I waste too much time watching SportsCenter/sporting events I don't care about, surfing social media, etc. I'm attempting to spend more of my time absorbing information while still entertaining myself, rather than mindlessly passing the time with trivial things. So, any recommendations for documentaries? Any books that you'd consider a must-read? I'm most interested in natural things, and tend to stick to non-fiction. But this is the internet, so who am I to be picky? Fire away! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It describes a cholera outbreak in 1850's London and how a Priest and a government official tracked down the source of the outbreak. It was an event that began our understanding of microorganisms and their impact on our health. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
