Yeah, don't look it up if you don't have the stomach. In my mind it's #2 on that list. But it's also a miracle because he is still playing at a fairly high level today!

I was never a fan of Hayward. Annoyed at him and Butler for surviving VCU and the Havoc. But when I dug into this, read the headlines my heart sank. Literally had visions of LT1 and Theisman going through my head. Then I saw the tremendous sportsmanship from ALL the players, coaching staffs, as well as both opposing and fans alike and my heart was melted and overwhelmed (in the good way). From the gut, I was humbled to see that and do hope that Hayward will get back and be right as rain.

Yeah the Quicken Loans arena was dead quiet on live TV. Really gruesome, fans and players alike new what had happened immediately. I'd bet a the lions share of New England sports fans watching from home let out one long winded f-bomb and sat in silence.
RIP to my Boston Celtics 2017-2018 season. Charles said it best.

Thank god this doesn't have sound. Saw the injury just a few minutes ago, with the sound on. Seeing it is bad, but bearable. But the crack it made was horrific.

I watched the orange bowl against stanford in the delivery room. Baby was born at 5:25, kickoff just after 8, I held her the whole game wearing my orange VT sweater that I still had from freshman year.

I bet your tax filing that year wished it had happened a week and a half earlier... Hah!
That said, I might be in the same boat this year. Our first is due Xmas Eve, and we have already met out deductible this year.... That could be one expensive week.

Actual due date is Dec 24th. The doctors we have say they won't consider inducing until a week and a day has passed beyond the due date which is.... *drumroll*... New Years Day
No sir, I'm not bitter at all right now

Man, when we had my son, they induced my ex a few days early (due date was 7 August, he was born 1 August). Although, that was her third time in the hospital for "oh my god it's happening"... pretty sure the Dr. at that point induced her to just not have to hear her shit anymore (can't blame her)
Good luck!

I'm a decent homebrewer who has never taken a chemistry class in my life. Doesn't seem like an assistant would need to know all that much.
Two days with Palmer's book would probably fix any deficiencies in an assistant.

Yea, I'm sure that as you get to a larger scale, understanding how alpha- and beta-amylase work to convert the starch in grains to various carbohydrates is critical. Especially when you are selling the beer, consistency is really important.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
Consistency over multiple batches over years, especially. I don't know any homebrewers that go out and try to make the same exact beer with the same exact characteristics in the same exact amount of time. Most homebrewers are more in the art of experimenting.
Just look at the typical light lagers that the big brewers put out. They have been brewing the same exact beer for years. This has to be an extremely difficult task to do this, especially if they have not been able to keep the same vendors to source ingredients from.

Why are you taking a class that serves no purpose for you? (I don't know the details of why you're taking college classes again so I'm legitimately curious)

In that case, I would have taken general chemistry instead of biology. Lower-level bio classes are generally a lot of memorization about metabolism and cellular pathways. Chemistry at least teaches you about hazardous chemicals and such.
Log in or register to post comments about the Virginia Tech Hokies
That's the next half of the semester. It's a combo class of bio and chemistry. So a mile wide but only an inch deep of lots of different things. Once I get outside my comfort zone of bio hazards, I'm a hazmat tech, chemistry is hard for me. But I'll probally end up taking it as my second science I need.

my copy arrives later this week.. I'm a little conflicted on this development... I loved old school GT solo play, but online competition is always fun too. It does irk me that you have to connect online before doing anything, even playing single player. I'm expecting DLC that add tracks & cars and I'll probably be irritated at the pricing. At least it's not subscription based like iRacing.

They completely neutered the game to steer everything towards online play. Its bad. I got on yesterday to try and play some Spec racing against the AI, and it doesn't exist. If you want to do that, you have to set up an Arcade race, which exists outside of everything you're striving toward. Your 'career' is just taking a bunch of mini classes to learn how to drive. The old endurance racing, off roading, etc against the AI that every version of GT was based upon before this? Completely non-existent.
Its incredibly disappointing. Don't get me wrong, I like online play, but I actively steer away from games that are solely online. Those games are created with the sole purpose of introducing micro-transactions to nickle and dime you to death to keep having fun, and it severely decreases the quality of the games themselves. Plus, a big problem I've always had with online racing are... surprise... people. People are shitheads, people will crash you for the sake of lols, and that's not the kind of game GT is supposed to be. Unfortunately, Sony embraced it with open arms.

That's good to know. I'm still on the PS3, and was considering getting a new console with all the cash I won throwing dice last weekend. The biggest motivator would be new GT, but if it's all online, fuck that.
You're spot on re: shitheads.

They were out of town, so we were always there for several days at a time. The not so easy way out was to move them to a retirement community with a cafeteria. She just grew up in a culture where you cooked everything until it either fell apart or turned to leather, and than left it in for another hour to be sure it was done. She then stuck in the fridge for a few days until we actually got there, and let it reheat in the oven for several hours. I put so much gravy on my plate for Thanksgiving you could not tell all I had on it was mashed potatoes and dressing. I finally convinced my wife is was not rude to insist we brought a turkey I smoked as our part of dinner.

Better than the morning of, I suppose.
It drops in the intestines and you judge whether or not you have enough time to bail or have to suck it up.

You want to speak that damn truth but know you have to hold it back.

When you see Gordon Heyward's leg injury......
My stomach is hurting from watching that live
And Kevin nonchalantly saying "Gordon Heyward has broken his leg." When they showed it, I almost lost my dinner. Very Livingston, Kevin Ware, Paul George, McGahee-ish.
All those same names came to mind. I don't know that I ever quite got the same up close look at those that I did tonight though
Edit: Never saw Livingston and won't be looking that one up
I thought watching Anderson Silva getting his leg snapped in half was going to be the worst live injury I was ever going to see I was dead wrong
Yeah, don't look it up if you don't have the stomach. In my mind it's #2 on that list. But it's also a miracle because he is still playing at a fairly high level today!
Djibril Cisse and the Oupa Ngulube also come to mind. Ngulube probably the worst ever.
Henrik Larsson had a bad one too
Yeah he did. Ngulube still gives me shivers tho

I haven't seen that one. Is it worse than the legendary Theismann injury?
Pretty similar, maybe a little further down the leg
Then I don't think I'll be watching it. Those kinds of injuries are hard to watch.
Yeah I don't recommend it. I couldn't finish my dinner last night after seeing it. Here's the Cavs Bench reaction with the actual injury cropped out
Thank god this doesn't have sound. Saw the injury just a few minutes ago, with the sound on. Seeing it is bad, but bearable. But the crack it made was horrific.
I love all the guys on the left who just go "Nope nope nope. I'm outta here."
When you're judging whether or not the 2 week old leftovers on the fridge are good or not

You argue with the kids, but mommy takes their side, and you realize your weekend is going to take an awkward turn.
Oopsie poopsie?

There are literally women out there who don't know they are pregnant until the baby pops out. Sauce: my MIL is an OBGYN

You're the real MVP
That goes to Mrs. gjpvt09 for getting the baby out before kickoff.
Excellent labor discipline from her.
I bet your tax filing that year wished it had happened a week and a half earlier... Hah!
That said, I might be in the same boat this year. Our first is due Xmas Eve, and we have already met out deductible this year.... That could be one expensive week.
Yes, tax deduction was discussed ad nauseum in that four month span. Very surprised we didn't get a midnight baby on 1/1/11. She was already in labor.
Congratulations?
You want to induce a week early anyway. No telling if there will even be child tax credits in 18 years. You need that money now.
Induction for Deduction.
Actual due date is Dec 24th. The doctors we have say they won't consider inducing until a week and a day has passed beyond the due date which is.... *drumroll*... New Years Day
No sir, I'm not bitter at all right now
We had a due date on 12/22, by 12/30 he still was chilling so we induced.
Good luck!

that's oddly specific.
you realize it was a bad idea to have coffee and Taco Bell before a press conference.
I'm sitting here wondering if I have stomach bug from drinking coffee from my coffee cup that I hadn't cleaned in a couple
Or if it's because my dumb ass forgot about the boil advisory the base is under and brushed my teeth with sink water this morning.
Either way I'm too embarrassed to tell the wife.

That's more of a

It's not worth it. Take the English and/or grammar class.

Meh I writes things just fine.
Will they accept transfer credits from UNC?
I'm a brewer. That info is central to it. You know that stuff, you have an almost instant approval in an assistant brewer position.
You would not believe the people trying to get brewing jobs that can't spell enzyme.
I'm a decent homebrewer who has never taken a chemistry class in my life. Doesn't seem like an assistant would need to know all that much.
Two days with Palmer's book would probably fix any deficiencies in an assistant.
It probably matters a bit more when you need to scale production up to create a consistent product in large quantities.
Yea, I'm sure that as you get to a larger scale, understanding how alpha- and beta-amylase work to convert the starch in grains to various carbohydrates is critical. Especially when you are selling the beer, consistency is really important.
Consistency over multiple batches over years, especially. I don't know any homebrewers that go out and try to make the same exact beer with the same exact characteristics in the same exact amount of time. Most homebrewers are more in the art of experimenting.

Gen ed science class. Degree is in Emergency Management.
