    "Hows everything tasting tonight?"

    (Stupid rant, sorry) This always seems like a weird question for a server to ask. Not sure why, but I always cringe at this common service question at restaurants. Other variations of simply checking in with their guests/customers are very welcome, but maybe asking how things are tasting is a...

    Coffee makers and coffee

    Every method has its place but a great discussion for those looking for alternatives. This is like asking if you like Busch Light or craft beer. Both have their place. That said, we use Chemex or an Aeropress. Takes a little time but both brewers are inexpensive. We like to support local...

    Anyone have to deal with Dupuytren's Contractions?

    Have had both procedures. More rehab with xiaflex and better results with surgery. Insurance initially balked at xiaflex but that was ~8-10 yrs ago so maybe more accepted mainline treatment now. Condition came back in a couple of years resulting in the surgery decision. Finger is still sort of...

    CycloneFanatic.com and the dog-days of summer

    Glomming onto a very old thread here just for the title. You know it's the offseason summer time when threads such as uniform discussions and Caitlin Clark duke it out at the top our timelines. I wonder which thread will be the first to 10,000 posts? Football can't come soon enough.

    Best Campustown Bars by Decade

    Can't recall the name of the bar that was a block west of Welch on Chamberlain back in the early 80's. Hated going there but that was quite a pick-up bar. To this day, I can't stand Foreigner, Head East and Loverboy that were one heavy rotation on the dance floor. Was this The Billboard...

    Ridiculous steal - Keshon

    In the games last weekend I recall several steals made as a result of smothering defense and in KSU and Baylor's case, some sloppy passing. There was one particular steal in the Houston game by Keshon that was one of the best all-out defensive efforts that I've seen in years. I'm rewatching the...

    Transferring spotify to Itunes/Apple music

    It sounds like you are open to using a corded connection of some type. I don't know anything about your particular head unit, but if it offers both a USB and aux, you should be set. I also don't know if your car offers either Apple Car Play or Android Auto, but if it does, you should be able to...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    Thanks - Title IX would have to play into that "every 2" I would assume. Get the portal fired up when you're not included though, unless the stated scholarship commitment comes into play. And if you are not one of the selected 2, you merely get scholarships and the associated bennies or are...

    Here comes the doomsday thread, sorry

    So, to play along, we've got 450 "student athletes" @ $30,000 per year. That's $13,500,000 per year into Educational Trust Funds. Do I understand this correctly?
