re: Overdose deaths in 2023 fell for the first time since the pandemic
Posted by AUFANATL on 5/15/24 at 11:40 am
I mean assuming the stat reporting is accurate (and as with most things it probably is not) then there is a logical explanation for a decline: the pool of potential victims has been reduced by previous OD deaths.
There are only so many drug addicts out there. The more that die, the fewer rema...

re: When did you hit mid life crisis
Posted by AUFANATL on 5/15/24 at 9:53 am
For me it has been the onset of health problems. I spent most of my life never needing a doctor and only went in for the occasional physical or teeth cleaning and always got the thumbs up.
Then things started falling apart. Lots of things. Despite me being thin, exercising at the gym several...
re: Phi Slama Jama, dominate teams in any sport that screwed the pooch?

Are we talking one season or an era?
For one season the 18-0 Patriots and 1991 UNLV have to be up there. But that UNLV team won it all the year before and the Patriots ring collection speaks for itself.
Another that came to mind were those John Robinson USC teams. They split a title in 197...

[quote]1981-1987 were the prime cartoon years for me[/quote]
What was great about that era was that when we outgrew Saturday morning cartoons, Saved by the Bell and American Gladiators moved in to pick up the slack.
Teen Kelly Kapowski followed by Nitro and Zap dominating the arena was a solid...

Well when it is practically a prerequisite that someone be in the top 1% in height [u]AND[/u] be in the top 1% of athleticism just to play at that level then you might as well cast your net in a river that has 6 million fish as opposed to a river that has only 330 million.

That was my point. In 1980 there weren't a lot of guys who reminded us of modern SEC players. Sure there were some freak exceptions like Herschel Walker and Reggie White but for the most part the pl...
re: Most Overrated Coen Bros Movie?
Posted by AUFANATL on 5/11/24 at 7:20 pm
In a weird way I actually think No Country for Old Men qualifies as "overrated" for them because a lot of people think it came from their brilliant minds but they actually just filmed the Cormac McCarthy novel almost scene for scene and word for word. And I think Tommie Lee Jones was involved bef...

The sport evolved a lot over that decade. Go watch those early 80s teams and compare them to what we saw later. Small lineman, slow LBers, white dudes in the secondary and WR and QBs who mainly handed the ball off.

re: Harder professional sports job - MLB catcher or NHL goalie
Posted by AUFANATL on 5/11/24 at 7:00 pm
A catcher gets slammed into (collision) a few times a year. A goalie gets slammed into a few times per period.
Hell one of them had his jugular sliced open and nearly bled out on the ice.
I will make apologies to catchers who play behind Marcell Ozuna. He constantly whacks them in the head...

There was a weird fallow period in between his recording success and his parrot head touring when he lived in Nashville and owned a small bar/restaurant. Most nights he hung out at the bar and talked with patrons. Kind of crazy that you could just go to a local watering hole and have drinks with...

[quote]Are there basic trails in cascades are most more advanced?[/quote]
The best hikes in the Cascades aren't easy but not overly hard either. I guess you could rate them as medium - but plan on 5 or 6 hours of hiking and over 1000 feet of elevation gain. It helps to be in shape. That being ...

Depending on the location, conditions, etc. they can be fine if you are young and single or if you are "too old for this sh*t" when it comes to upkeep and landscaping.
Between those age brackets I want a detached house with a yard.

Lot of stories like this floating around. Young adults who did everything right - education, career, marriage, saving money, 401k, HSA, etc. and the next step towards the American Dream, a home and children, seem out of reach.
The plutocrats have completely sold out multiple generations. Oh, ...
