re: Hearing Serna has a concussion

Our perception of concussion recovery is distorted because the NFL somehow seems to fast track their guys through it
People don't understand how dangerous concussions are how much easier you can get one if the brain isn't healed yet.
When I was 20 I had a concussion along with other injuries. I rushed back too soon and got another concussion. I was knocked stupid for a day and a half and it permanently changed my handwriting. That was 27 years ago.

golf, jazz, watches (that really started when I was younger but couldn't afford them)

Things that colleagues act like is so important, in reality, is not.
A lot of accurate statement have been made here, but this one really rings. When everything is a priority, nothing is actually a priority. They act like this thing right now is the most important thing ever just to make some numbers, only to find out that this number here would have been just as acceptable over there. We see it every quarter and it drives me nuts. Fire drill to make numbers when they could just as easily be applied next quarter. Either way, you're getting paid for the work you did.

What type of incentive will they throw to the golf team to attract top talent there after taking the golf course from them.
Texas has one of the top golf programs in the nation and they don't have a course right next to campus. They play in Steiner Ranch and it takes about an hour to get there.
I'd think it's better for a University to partner with a really nice private course in the area rather than maintaining one on their own.
That said, you can guarantee that there's plans for that plot of land already.
How would you do it dishonestly? My W2 showed how much OT I could claim.

At this point, they need to significantly drop gas prices and not just expose, but prosecute major fraud from the democrats. The republicans need to show the country just how dirty the democrats are and hold them accountable if they want any hope of winning midterms.
I think we are screwed.

Tommy Lee was spouting off some political stupidity on social media once. I replied saying something to the effect that if he hadn't gotten lucky and landed in a band that was successful, he would have just been a regular drug addict instead of one with a fan base. So why should anyone take the political advice of a uneducated addict? I was promptly blocked. Guess the point stung a little.

I remember reading a year or so ago that he actually did die, but no. I don't wish ill on anyone, but I've never been so disappointed to hear that someone actually didn't die.
It is the most annoying shite I've ever heard in my life.

re: WTF?? My credit score went down 35 points
Posted by pickle311 on 3/13/26 at 9:25 pm to doublecutter
It's all a scam. I watch mine like a hawk and it goes down for no reason then slowly creeps back up. And it never matches what your score shows when they actually pull your credit.
re: Is a club fitting worth it for a mid handicap golfer?
Posted by pickle311 on 3/8/26 at 5:48 pm to Griff Nasty
I would say yes. I'm a high handicap and was recently fitted for a new driver. I can say that the difference is noticeable.
That experience now has me stopping in to demo different clubs here and there just to try different things and see the difference. I have a good set of clubs, but I'm finding that there's better clubs out there for me. I have a feeling that my entire bag will be changed before the end of the year.

I got 6 months for free right now. I don't really listen to it though, but there are only about 3 channels I do listen to when I use it.
This is why I voted for Paxton. Brilliant move on his part.
I used to work with several Navy Nucs. Most were good guys and all intelligent. All of them told me they hated it so much that they gladly turned down $60k+ reenlistment bonuses. The reenlistment bonus is so high because they can't keep people in, a very high percentage gets out after their 6 years.
re: Any of you baws ever broken your collarbone?
Posted by pickle311 on 3/3/26 at 4:17 pm to VolsOut4Harambe
Broke mine and it almost came out the skin, all these years later I still have a lump. They didn't set it so the bones were overlapped a touch and it healed like that.
Of all the bones I've broken, this was the least painful and easiest to deal with. The first week or 2 sucked because you can't lift your arm up to put on a shirt, but once you get past that it's not too bad for a broken bone.
Getting out of bed can be a little tricky too depending on which side you broke and what side of the bed you sleep on.

That explains why he was in the Austin area. My neighbor posted a picture of him at Terry Blacks earlier this week.

Thanks. I ask because my daughter is pursuing the same. Working now in Chemical Engineering but wants to focus towards the “bio medical “ Seems like many are focused on this field but I’m having difficulty tracking down what this means as a career/financial.
Researching biomedical can give you different answers. Biomedical engineering generally ends up working in device manufacturing. But the term biomedical is also used for the techs that take care of the electronics used in patient care. Think infusion pumps, beds, vital monitors, and so on. That’s usually people with an associates degree.
In my opinion, the best career with a biomedical engineering degree is with a pacemaker manufacturer. They have reps that works with the cardiologist and sets the parameters on the pacemaker to get it dialed in for the patient during the procedure.
I work for a manufacturer and do all the regulatory testing and calibration on MRI systems. It’s fun, it pays well, can be challenging, but there are better ways to make money.
What welders are making $200k? My kid is certified and wanted to go that route for a bit. Every salary report we can find doesn’t show anything close to that.
What I told him was that I grew up dirt poor. My best friends dad was a legit welder back then. Everyone knew his name in that world. They lived across the street from us, so that tells you what really good welders make if they lived right by our poor asses.

My kid is getting ready to graduate from HS. I’ve tried steering him towards engineering for years but he shifted away from that last year. He’s well aware of Ai and the impact of it. He’s wants to own his own business so he’s entering into college next year to study agriculture management. As of now, his plan is to get a 4 year degree then enter the coast guard as an officer to be a helicopter pilot.
I’m sure that will change, but as it currently stands, he has a legit plan and is working towards it.

Where do you put the ball in your stance? Are you hitting down or up on your swing? Thanks
Ball is in the middle of my stance and I swing down on it. Honestly, I try to swing it just like I do my 7i because I'm very comfortable with it.
I do ok with the 5i off of mats, but on the course I'm all over the place. I either thin it or slice it into oblivion.
