Random Thoughts 18: The Year of Fire

[Cyclones_R_GR8]

Ordered a new phone, finally can get rid of this piece of ****. Keep having to restart everytime I lose signal and group texts won't automatically download sometimes. Hopefully 5G will be better. Says I can get up to $500 trade in value for this, but when they get it, they'll see it ain't worth 5 cents.

What is the current pos?

My nieghbor was on his way to the gym Saturday morning around 4:30. His car was T-boned by a guy that blew through a stop sign at 8th and Grand in Ames doing 50 mph. They couldn't charge the guy with a DUI as he blew below the legal level according to my neighbor's wife. Neighbor is in rough shape. Broken shoulder, blood on the brain, broken ribs, broken arm, air in abdomen, broken pelvis and broken leg. Having surgery on his pelvis and arm this morning. His car was only 3 months old. His wife showed pictures of the car. I was surprised the passenger side bags had deploye but only the steering column on the drivers side deployed. I saw the police report online and it was taken at 4:38 am.

Woof, that sounds like a bad one. Good luck to your friend on his recovery.

If there isn't anyone sitting in the passenger seat, the airbag shouldn't go off right? Not sure how that works with side air bags, do they also not deploy?

I was looking at my phone so I missed it.

I had Wisconsin winning it all in a bracket which I knew wasn’t going to happen, but I definitely thought they would do better than this

I get it. I pick ISU every year.

Someone didn't have themselves muted. I just heard, Steve can drive, he's not really drinking. Some of these guys were from the UK but I thought they had all dropped

Were they meeting in a pub?

 

[jcyclonee]

Way back in 2000 they referred to the Dome as Hilton North when ISU was playing in Minneapolis.

United Center was called Hilton East.

Yes, yes they do deploy at least that was my experience on a rollover that ended up wheels down in the end.

That's a weird 10 O'Clock start in Boston.

Guess I should check if that was east or central

Looked it up, 9:09 central. Ridiculous making those kids start a game at 10 pm

How dare you think about the kids when you could be thinking about the stakeholders return on better advertising revenue time slots.

Yeah, I get a 9:09 central tip if you’re on the west coast (or east coast but it’s the first game of the season so it is on the weekend and at a weird time), but that’s a ridiculous time for an NCAA tournament game

That's perfect for me. I can start work a few minutes early, knock it out, and get home with food, caffeine, or whatever to power through.

9 pm would be lucky.

Yet Dan Hurley complaining about getting the early game because "it's just another way the Committee is screwing us." Nevermind that you will get more time off between Thursday and Saturday games than your opponent who won't be even done playing on Thursday.

The dude is an absolute clown.

He seems to be on a complaint bender.
