    Define what "single" means in this context, please.

     

    Otherwise it's impossible to answer.

     

     

     

    I'm surprised that people no longer know what "single" means.

    The Dating scene must be really screwed up.

     

    I updated the OP, but it just means that you can't have a wife or girlfriend.

    Think early Barney from HIMYM.

     

    Although I would like to hear the ladies opnion on this.

    Purdy didn’t look great when the elements were more challenging. Don’t know if he had jitters or small hands, but in the end his stat line is inflated from the huge 2nd half where the weather was sunny and dry. 

     

    The Superbowl is usually held in domes or someplace sunny. I always though it was a disadvantage for Buffalo and contributed to their losses.

    First I've heard of this... where did you see it?

    It's the fan theories on social media.

    Worst case for his injury was supposed to still having him for the playoffs, but he isn't even practicing.

     

    He's being called out by fans and had to address it by assuring them that he really is injured and not faking.

    The article provides videos. And the thing appears to be super tiny like

    quarter size. I still cant see how the placeholder takes the snap, and places the ball exactly on this quarter-sized object and manages to align the laces. They’re definitely picking something up but I’m not sure what function it serves. 

     

    Wouldn't the holder have to place the ball at an exact spot anyway? Otherwise, it wouldn't align with the kickers swinging leg.

    And no, there isn't an "alarming number of people having cardiac arrests lately." There is, however, an alarming amount of loons on social media claiming there are.

    I googled this phrase to see if I can do some research on the topic to be better informed.

     

    I have been advised by counsel not reveal what I have found.

     

    That is all.

     

     

  6. You get a Billion dollars...

    ...but you'll be single for the rest of your life.

     

    Definition of Single: NO exclusive romantic relationship with any one person, or group of people.

    No relationship that requires that you ask permission to interact with another party.

     

    inspired by Meathead's SB thread...

     

  7. Another instance of using modern morality to judge decades-old behavior.

     

    She met Tyler in the 70's.

    She was a groupie who made it to the VIP party backstage.

    She achieved rock star girlfriend status.

    Tyler even became her legal guardian so she could tour with the band.

     

    It can be argued that in 1973, the "Free Love" attitudes of the late 60's was on it's last legs, but the enforcement of the statutory rape laws had become lax at that point.  The new 2019 law gave this woman the opportunity to label her relationship a crime by modern standards.

     

    I have no doubt that her time with the band was the highlight of her entire life, until society convinced her that she was actually traumatized.

    Wtf is wrong with people. Was this common back then? I feel like there's a lot of stories similar to this. 

     

    I had this same reaction until I read the whole story.

    To avoid carts (here we call them "baskets") abandoned in the parking lot, our local/regional supermarket chain (United/Market Street) has employees (mostly school kids, some retirees) who push your cart to your car, load the stuff in your car, and take the cart back. You can imagine my culture shock when we moved from Rochester to Lubbock and I was shopping in the supermarket for the first time. After paying, there was suddenly this kid who wanted to steal my cart - I had to fight for it to be able to push it to my car. I was quite embarrassed after I had learned the local custom of "take out to register 11". How widely distributed is this service?

     

    Go european and rent the carts out.

     

    Get money back like the airport.

    I often leave the cart with the Wifey who holds a bizarre fascination with looking at multiple brands of the same item.  While she is in the state of an immobile, perplexed shopping coma,  I go and pick up the next 25 items on the list in nanoseconds. I return and dump them in the cart. I then let her know when she makes her selection we are free to go to the checkout lane. 

     

    It never fails that she looks at me bewildered.  She can’t believe that I could possibly have every other item on the list in the cart.

    This is the correct strategy. I did the same thing you did.

    We used to go aisle to aisle while I pushed the cart. Then one day I decided to just keep going and finish the shopping while they were deciding.

     

    Now When we get to the market, everyone scatters while I get everything on the list, then proceed to checkout where the family deposits what they picked out. They seem to prefer this method since they get more time to look, ,usually adding stuff not on the list... specific snacks, shampoos... etc.

     

    This satisfies their need to "window shop" and wander. It also gives a time-limit; if they don't get back before the cart is scanned and paid, then it's not leaving the store.

     

     

  10. They can design the stadium to create a wind tunnel effect on the opposing sideline while keeping the home team dry and protected.

    I would also keep the visitor's locker room the same for the new stadium; only one toilet.

    Solve the issue if they allowed the visiting team to pick which sideline they want.

    Because the ocean is salty and that costs a lot of money for desalination... Rich don't get rich by spending money...😉😜 

     

    Anyway....They'd have to pump it up a ~1,000' to reach Lake Mead's elevation.

     

    You'd think that there would be a way to recapture spent hydro water. I suppose the energy balance to pump it back into pumped storage would be to great... ??

    It's not a real problem.

    Once the water levels get low enough where desalinating the ocean would be cheaper, the drought goes away.

     

    I'm just curious to see if they're willing to destroy their agriculture to appease the urban elites.
