What Made you Smile/What Ticked you off Today?

This. One of my favorite athletes and one of the few I was convinced wasn't doping.

Never meet your hero as they say.

"Gay wouldn't reveal the substance in a phone conversation from Amsterdam on Sunday"

I'm guessing weed isn't counted as a PED (unless in competitive eating).

Sad thing is you can get busted for weed - in both track & field and other pro sports I believe.

lost my wallet at the theatre last night. Was in a very bad mood as I had about $50 in cash, my debit and credit cards, my ss card (which reminded me to take it out), and my DL which is a pain to get replaced.

the couple who were sitting off to our right delivered it to my door just a few minutes ago.

I don't find that sad one bit. A banned or illegal substance is just that.

Love hearing stories of nice people being nice.

Not being able to find my wallet puts me in a tizzy, and it is always my own fault for not always putting it on the right hand side of my undie drawer. Sometimes I'll come home from a rough day, kick off my shoes and place my belt and wallet in them, and other times I'll place my wallet on the top of my game room fridge.

I always find it, but that few seconds of "Did I lose my wallet?" sends me in a searching frenzy. I panic.

Nice! I've had that happen to me except I lost mine biking and retraced my path through the city with no luck only to get back to my house and find my wallet in the mailbox with a note saying it was found about 6 blocks from my place.

Such a great feeling.

A part of me feels we should just let athletes juice up as much as they want. But you don't get to juice until you're a professional athlete; college and high school still needs to stay clean.

My dad gave me his car today, a garaged, 64k mile, built up 1991 300zx Z32 2+2. Apparently it's been his plan all along. I nearly had a heart attack. I'm so incredibly grateful. There's no way I deserve this car at all. It seems so surreal. But it's mine now.


It's so hot out. We have central AC but our house has thin single-pane windows, and lots of them. Great in the spring and fall, but, in the summer our AC just can't keep up. Never mind trying to sit in the rooms like mine where there is no AC. At least 86-88 in there right now.

I fixed my GPU. After a 6 week RMA process to get one that even worked at all, I noticed my temps and fan speeds were way too high, even in the heat like this. So on a whim I decided to see if taking off the heatsink would void my warranty. Luckily it doesn't. So I popped off the cooler and what do I find? Like 3 table spoons of thermal paste just lazily thrown on the chip, oozing out the sides even. So 5 paper towels, some rubbing alcohol, and some of my good Antec thermal compound later, the GPU is running happy as can be. Never breaks 72c and the fan never runs over 50% so it's nice and quiet. I wrote a complaint to them. That quality of work is simply unacceptable (the unit was a repaired one I got from their RMA warehouse).

If I'm not mistaken, single pane windows can get an infrared treatment that blocks out all heat. Might want to look into that.

Well, my family is moving out of here by the end of the year and I'm only here for another month so it's not a huge deal. It only ever really presents a problem when it's been as hot as it has been lately. It's been a hell of a Summer so far.
