Oh now that's true. Basically these days if I hear some politician making GBS threads on about family values, DEM GAYS!! or Think of the Children, I just presume they are either loving someone on the side (Which in politics is actually very common), they are gay or they shouldnt be allowed near children.

gently caress Blue Cross so loving hard. They were supposed to have this poo poo with my health insurance fixed by "Thursday, Friday at the latest". When that didn't happen, I sent them an email through the member website. Nothing aggressive, just "Can you please tell me what's going on? I have a doctor's appointment coming up next week, and his office is unable to verify coverage."

Got an email today saying I had a message on their member website. I can login, but just get a screen saying "This portlet is disabled", no matter what computer or device I use. When I try to call their 24/7 "technical support" line, as soon as I put in my member number I get redirected to a "we're closed, call back during the day" recording. Making it more fun, I got a loving dozen insurance ID cards in the mail today.

Apparently this is what I pay $300+ a month for.

Looks like I just added another notch to the state's list of complaints against BCBS. :fuckoff:

Student skipped days totaling 6 out of 14 weeks so far. Skipped several major assignments. When he/she figured out that they were completely hosed in the class, pulled out the "I have ADD" card and is tying to unfuck themselves.

Not going to happen. He/she actively made choices over the course of the semester. There are consequences for those choices. In this case? The consequence is a big ol' F. You cannot make up the in-class lectures and material provided in them, by "getting an incomplete." I'll teach the same class next semester, feel free to re-register next semester, slacker.

:cripes:

Every college I've ever attended will let you re-take the class once and replace the grade entirely (at UNT you had to submit a request in writing to records to get it done, but it was still very doable), so it's like you never even failed the class the first time. Except for financial aid purposes anyway.

That's how I took my GPA from <0.5 to 3.3 over about 2 years. The only reason it wasn't higher at the end is some of the classes were no longer offered.

I could see an incomplete if, say, he had a sick family member and had to care for them - but only if they stayed in touch. And they should have dropped that class a long time ago anyway. I'm ADD as gently caress, previously medicated. Unmedicated, I pulled off two 4.0 semesters back to back (12 hours each term), and the others were all 3.5 or above (except for the semester my grandmother passed, I think I finished with a 1.9 - took a bullshit mayterm class and nailed a 4.0 in it to get off of academic probation). ADD isn't a viable excuse once you're in college.

He inhales every bit of food he runs across, in massive quantities, and he claims this is the most he's ever weighed. Me, on the other hand... 5'7 and 200, and I really don't eat much (nowhere near what he does, even with the :420: munchies added). I could probably toss him over my shoulder though.

The Eleven Satanic Rules of the Earth



Do not give opinions or advice unless you are asked.

Do not tell your troubles to others unless you are sure they want to hear them.

When in another’s lair, show him respect or else do not go there.

If a guest in your lair annoys you, treat him cruelly and without mercy.

Do not make sexual advances unless you are given the mating signal.

Do not take that which does not belong to you unless it is a burden to the other person and he cries out to be relieved.

Acknowledge the power of magic if you have employed it successfully to obtain your desires. If you deny the power of magic after having called upon it with success, you will lose all you have obtained.

Do not complain about anything to which you need not subject yourself.

Do not harm little children.

Do not kill non-human animals unless you are attacked or for your food.

When walking in open territory, bother no one. If someone bothers you, ask him to stop. If he does not stop, destroy him.

And here it is, 3rd May or the 3rd anniversary I got 100% serious about cycling as marked in Strava and just never stopped

Started on a Specialized Roubaix that died in a car altercation after 10,393 kms

Got a S-Works Venge

Also a Epic Marathon for mountain biking

After the Roubaix, came the S-Works Tarmac I called the Assassin for it's ridculous silence and road vibration killing. 9386 kms and sadly it cracked.

That brings me up to the S-Works Tarmac Assassin Mk II that got some upgrades at the same time as the new frame - now up to 10,950 kms in just 10 months!

So at the end of three years I'm now up to 40,573 kms since I rode off from Jet Cycles on the then new Roubaix. I said I was never going to stop and I havent.

And I wouldnt swap any of those kms for just about anything in the world.

(Lets see... the Tarmac
S-Works Tarmac 2016
S-Works Power saddle with rear carbon bottle mount
Other carbon cages
Xentis 4.2 Silver Squad wheels / hubs
3T Aeroroad Stealth carbon bars
S-Works stem
Ultegra 9000 shifters
Dura-Ace 9000 brakes
Dura Ace 11 spd mech front / rear
S-Works 52/36 spider
Quarq power meter
S-Works carbon cranks
SPD MTB pedals to troll

One day I'll upgrade to DuraAce shifters. Meh, it's not like the Ultegra ones are poo poo)

Yeah, the road bike I just added it up and drat near had a heart attack how much it would be to replace - The wheels alone are 3000 and this is a bike I commute with. Granted my commute is rather long and a good bike makes that a lot nicer....... The TT bike wasnt cheap to say the least either.

It may even replace my main router (and older Netgear R6300) if it keeps making me happy.
I saw the IFTTT mention for this a couple days ago, hadn't even heard about it before but now I'm kind of thinking of buying one. Not sure what I would actually use it for though. I use IFTTT on my phone but so far only to change backgrounds and auto turn off my hue lights.
