On this site, the real action is in the comments, so if you haven’t checked out the comments section yet, you should join us! This is the open thread, which is……open. Therefore, you will see discussion of nearly ANY topic here. Our one rule here is: “Remember, be cool to one another”. Also, a word to the wise, don’t feed the trolls. SKOL!!!!!!

Thread was full!

As of this writing, the Bills are dominating the Patriots. The halftime score is 17-7, but it isn’t nearly that close. The Bills defense is smothering the Patriots offense. The second half will likely be much of the same, but I’ll be snoozing by the time that happens. We’ll see whether I’m correct.

Minnesota Vikings News:

We brought you our Week 13 Power Rankings Summary.

Rob posted the Skoloholics Mailbag: The 9 and 2 Mailbag.

Antonio Brown is being nutty again.

Justin Jefferson was named the November NFC Offensive Player of the Month…..again.

I agree. I also refuse to show anyone my receipt or check my bag when I leave a store. I’m not a fucking criminal and I won’t let you infer that I am. I walk right past them. Had one ‘mystery shopper’ attempt to stand in my way once and I had to throw a shoulder into him, but I got past him.

The balloon factory has a no hassle shoplifters policy so even if we see theft we cant say or do anything to the person we just let them leave. The company has a loss prevention team that uses cameras and other information to have about a 90% conviction rate on catching the ones we report. Much goes unreported but from what I was told thefts both internal and external only adds up to .05% of all merch so not worth the liability to allow employees to try and stop thieves. We lose our jobs if we do, so criminals know that now and hammer us regularly. Dumb fucking corps and their greed.

I’ve seen that before. I understand theft is a problem – truth be told I’ve probably walked out of a self-checkout once or twice with an item on the arm. I’d feel bad about it but they obviously view me as an employee it being self-checkout and all, and I view that as an employee discount.

Mrs turns 50 Sunday so I had to…. excuse me…wanted to get her a nice gift to go with the few other little nice ones I got. Went with a David Yurman diamond ring that’s stunning like her. I think she’ll love it. Having a big party with some neighborhood folks tomorrow night should be fun.

Blood diamonds – diamonds that are mined in a war zone and sold to finance insurgency and terrorism among other things. Angola, Sierra Leone, Liberia – all hotbeds of activity.

BSF….from the earlier thread you said you benched 285 x 6 reps. By the formula I was taught here is what your likely 1 rep max is:

285 lbs x 6 reps x .0333 + 285 lbs = 341.94 lbs.

I’ve found this formula to be pretty spot on for me personally and everyone remember, I am certified. 😉

I’d give her an ice pack, but had to tell her, you have to wait until this time to get more tylenol. She was good to either wash her hands or put hand sanitizer on to try to help grammie not get it. Had to coax her to eat a few bites of anything though.

I use to hire anesthesiologists so I had to review their entire education, credentials and work history. You would not believe the number who had lost their licenses at one point or another for stealing drugs and getting caught. I mean hard core shit that puts you down. Crazy shit.

MT Viking
Reply to  Lifer
2 December 2022 4:57 pm

A locums anesthesiologist applied at BC, the application came through MEC because of credentialing issues. I ended up being the outspoken one like no f’ing way I want this guy working on my wife. I’m guessing he still would have got the boot but some were concerned with the acute shortage, effect on the employed anesthesiologist of working into the ground, etc.

Of all the fields I think they have the most bad actors. You have to wonder about sitting next to a patient all day who is exhaling anesthetic gas and fentanyl fumes. Throw in “relatively” easy access to drugs and it could be scary.

There have been a couple of emergent situations where syringes with fentanyl etc get left on the bedside table and I always loudly point out – there is a syringe full of _____ over there. I don’t want to touch the stuff myself and don’t want anyone having aspersions cast when the syringe disappears.

they also pay a shitload more in taxes for it as well and not SS.

24/7/365 for some guys and the only days they get off are unscheduled mandated rest periods and a little bit of vacation.

the workers get disciplined if they’re sick for multiple days… and in increase in labor does not alleviate the issue… the railroads will furlough like they always have and run bare bones.

Right, which is why Congress probably has the ability to, and is, acting on this. Especially right before Christmas.

So now I did bother to look.

Dems tried to pass the sick days. Republicans blocked it in the senate.

So dems options were to force the RRs back to work or let a huge sector of our economy crash.

Actually a bit scary how giddy some Rs were in forcing this choice onto the dems BTW.

Soooo, after forcing the dems to fuck the workers, you’ll now see the republicans gleefully stating this as a fact.

I’m fine with the lib thing. Compared to most of the people on here I’m much more liberal.

I firmly support guns and drugs and gay marriage and abortion and believe in climate change.

On the flip side I would would crack down on the border, turn social security and medicare into block grants and return the money to the states to spend as they see fit.
One of the main reasons I left St Paul had to do with the taxes and Melvin Carter’s idiotic liberal policies.

I could go on, but basically any social issues I’m very liberal. Fiscal issues I have some ideas that even most republicans wont like.

I’ve always been a moderate, and I like people with very moderate political views.

I also have realized that I agree with 99.998% of political crap that Ben posts.

Oh, now my level of technological competence is being compared to kodiak. Oh it’s on boys. I’m working on my magnum opus, a post so long it will break the internet. BTW here is what you missed on the first thread.

I unexpectedly had a good day at work yesterday, I took a ppt presentation to the CEO of my local hospital and outlined how we need a new MRI scanner made by company X. The background is that they are leasing a horribad scanner by company Y and losing patients to other hospitals, because the CFO is chummy with the company that leases Y. CFO told chum I wanted an X and they said oh get a Z it is just as good. Z is HQ’d in Shanghai and has a reputation for service problems.

I figured I had a snowballs chance in hell.

After my presentation, he said we are going to get X.

Surprised me but good news. Until the CFO talks him back into Z. Oh well I laid it out there.

Best part is if they get X I get an enormous financial kickback and a Porsche with their logo.

Sometimes I am concerned that the statement which is obvious sarcasm will be misconstrued as truth by some, and really want to put @@’s on it.

Is your hospital like Sacred Heart on the show Scrubs where they only ask the guy for new equipment once a year?

MT Viking
Reply to  benjammin
2 December 2022 2:49 pm

I’m not familiar with that concept, have maybe seen one episode of the show which was where a radiologist went crazy saying it’s my equipment mine mine which I can empathize with.

A basic MRI out of the box with a standard array of coils typically runs between $1.3-1.6 large. Then there are service contracts, tech support, etc. So they are nothing to sneeze at, although a DaVinci or Mako robot says “please”. Have to stagger capital equipment requests.

I have a good core of seasoned and new MR technologists and they are unhappy with the Y. I am unhappy with the Y. Patients are unhappy with the Y. As I’ve promised to work here for ten years it only makes sense to get the right scanner.

BTW I did my intern year at Sacred Heart Medical Center in Spokane, does that count?

In that episode, the Chief of Medicine was only ever in a good mood once a year – his anniversary – so that was the day everyone would line up outside his office with new budget requests.

PS – For a while everyone thought that was the Sacred Heart they were based on in the show, but eventually it came out the show’s hospital was in “San DiFrangeles” California so unfortunately no, you don’t get any credit.

Hmmm… I can see being disappointed in not taking advantage of a very weak West division, but they still beat Wisco and won 8 games as of now. Maybe they’re a younger person who didn’t experience any of the 80s or 90s or the guy between Mason and Kill. I think the window may be more open next year, they’ll lose a couple guys, Schmitz being the best of them but I think that Athan kid is going to be better than Morgan fairly quickly, he is certainly blessed with much better physical talent.

CCHOF5yearstoolate

2 December 2022 3:36 pm

The 2 straight losses after being just barely ranked early in the season was really disappointing, and that stupid Iowa game was so winnable, but yeah outside of losing Schmitz and Ibrahim I think the offense might have more going for it next year with the young Grecian at QB (& all the young talent) with more experience and Autmann-Bell coming back too.

Maybe vs preseason projections it was a little disappointing, but I’m pretty happy that the floor is now 8-9 wins considering I became a fan when I started college in 2010.

Why watch Trolls on a show when you can study them and interact with them in their natural habitat – here?

Wednesday is good, not humorous like the TV series or movies, but much more dark humor. The girl who plays Wednesday is almost too cute, but she grows on you.

LOL, of course he is. Before Kodiak quit he would go to the old thread and reply to all the comments there before getting to the new thread and posting comments after pretty much everyone was done for the day, probably because then nobody could/would respond to his Eeyore posts.

I keep mine in a fingerprint little gun safe. That way if they walk away I can at least tell the cops I did the best I could to keep ’em out of criminal hands.

Although I once almost forgot to take a pistol out of the safe before I drove into Canada. Yeah that would have sucked.

Savage 93R17. Thing is really fun to shoot, and stupid accurate from a couple hundred yards. Haven’t tried pushing it much farther than that, idiot behind the trigger would become more the problem than the gun at that point.

Nice! So far I have only been handed down 1 of my grandpa’s guns from my dad, a semi-auto 22 that I can’t remember any other details on right now.

I tend not to use that one often, just because of sentimental value but I like having it none the less.

Yeah I feel like guns as family heir looms is a good thing. My grandpa had two 2 of those 99Es, one a .308 and one a .243, my older brother got the .243. Gramps also bought a shitload of surplus military rounds for them, I didn’t need to buy any until like 20 years after I got the rifle.

What if CCHOF doesn’t want kids? Is that o.k? Seems like you are making a lot of assumptions. Maybe CCHOF is not married because he/she/it can’t find anyone and now you have made they feel bad.

I’d like to have a kid or two. Life hasn’t exactly lined up that way for me so far (decent chunk of that is my own fault), but I would like to. Without any Kodiak advice, that is.

There’s a little bit of nagging worry with the rising risks of birth defects as you get older, but all things considered I think I’d prefer to have kids once I have some semblance of stability vs very young.

Not for dudes there isn’t really a rising risk for birth defects, my wife was 30 when she had our first and 33 with the second, which not any kind of high risk age, though they did call me a geriatric dad at 40 y/o for the second one.

Right, but I’m assuming my wife will be within a year or so of me. Maybe not, but I’m not trying to go all Hugh Hefner either.

Right, just have no idea when you’re going to meet that one person and who they are.

But, in the age of pretty much everything being driven by meeting online (only one couple from my college friend group didn’t meet on some dating app), it feels weird to search for people outside a year or so of my age.

I reserve the right to adjust context as I see fit.

Also, I was traveling and I hate all the trash rolling around, I did not see a trash near the door at this particular gas station so I just pulled up to the pump, I did not anticipate such backlash for doing so from the guy or on skoloholics lol.
