There's text in that gif?

Ambitious. Confident. I like him already.

This was his first year in Salem. He lasted about 5 weeks with us and then got called up. Kid is legit. Never gonna hit for 25 HR in a season, but he's gonna get hits. He's speedy enough to leg out a triple easily (had 8 in Salem I believe). Yoan Moncada will be right behind him. Moncada is their prize player and is worth every penny. Salem was loaded for a while. Now half of our team has moved on lol.

I started to use it regularly a while back, but it would freeze or tie up system resources too often on regular tasks (like web browsing). And in some of my devices the endless "no longer supported"/"modern [fill in the blank]" messages became too annoying.

I know I just ribbed on Apple for oversimplifying, but couldn't chrome have a normal settings interface or menu system?

I exclusively use Chrome on all devices. Logged in via my Google account, my browsers are synced on my laptop (Mac), phone (iPhone, but was also the case with my last phone, an Android), my iPad, and my office workstation (Linux). Seamless.

Is Chrome on mobile any good? If I go to "actual" website on Safari, the dots give me even less choices. Apple making life easier by removing options again...

Seent it, evaluated it, rejected it. Good to know you're in the know, though.

This is a chronic problem across the ENTIRE university. There are people, just as you say, in charge of technology that do not understand it. There are people who are supposed to reach out and engage with students that have absolutely nothing in common with them and who know virtually nothing about them.

I'm gonna step on some toes with this opinion and I apologize in advance for this but the university heavily favors older alumni, particularly those with military experience, when it comes to hiring. That's all well and good in some cases but older military types do not usually identify all that well with young college students. Every watched Gran Torino? Yeah. Asking someone who has put in 20, 30 years into the military to then come back and effectively communicate and engage with a 17 or 18 year old freshly in college is like trying to mix oil and vinegar. Sometimes it works, and it's beautiful when it does, but most of the time they're going to repel each other and end up looking sad.

I had a friend get hired at Tech as the campus sustainability planner (affectionately called her Chief Hippie). There were other candidates that were just as qualified but she got the job because she was younger. That office was making an effort to get younger to better identify with the student body (y'know, the thing that gives the university reason to exist). Because of the older generation that was already firmly in place it was incredibly difficult and frustrating to get anything significant accomplished and it finally got to the point that rather than continue working at Tech she jumped at the chance to go back to grad school to get a 2nd Master's degree.

I understand that experience is needed, you can't just throw a bunch of young, new people into a job and expect them to do well without some experienced people there to guide them. But you want to keep advancing the university? You want to "Invent the Future?" Cool, that's awesome, make hiring decisions that reflect that.

.....That was a lot more ranty than I intended, sorry gang.

the college that I plan to attend for the next 3 to 4 years.

Well, aren't we getting a bit ahead of ourselves... ;)

He's making some serious eye contact with the VT logo.

Vis a vis, he's committing to us

Maybe for northern schools... Maybe

But not in the Bible Belt where blue laws are as prevalent as they are

Wait...DB or WR?
