Are the boards ridiculously slow lately or is it just me?

[ajalves]

[autiger730]

Yesterday they were super slow for me. I couldn't even get them to load for about two hours yesterday morning. Would load about a quarter and just stick there.

March 12 here in Michigan and it's a FUCKING BLIZZARD going down! 8 inches of blowing snow on top of a quarter inch of freshly frozen rain, topped by 35 mile a hour winds. so now I get to go look at my ootp teams. I am thankful for a warm house, a loving family, and all my friends! late last nite I did a mlb fanasty draft with Ryan around 3 am and I looked out side and it was raining. one hour later I looked and it was snowing so hard I couldn't see half a block. this morning I gave up any hope of shoveling or snow blowing my side walk or driveway!

nah. i stopped doing it when i learned that i wouldnt be doing anything i enjoy and being a fire insurance broker, and buddies who remained are miserable. I'm upgrading marks so I can go to University for Finance and Accounting. Better field for me I think and I'm still "young" (27).

Chinese spy satellites may have found the plane, not far off it's proper path. They've found three large pieces of debris. The images were actually captured on the 9th but not released until today

The objects aren't small: 13 by 18 meters (43 by 59 feet), 14 by 19 meters (46 by 62 feet) and 24 by 22 meters (79 feet by 72 feet). For reference, the wingspan of an intact Boeing 777-200ER like the one that disappeared is about 61 meters (200 feet) and its overall length is about 64 meters (210 feet).

I was thinking, if it was a terrorist explosion wouldn't they have come out and take credit for it already or is that only al queada that does that?

I thought that, but then wondered, how would the terrorist who plotted this know it went through successfully when all they had was a missing plane?

It would be bad terrorist business to take credit only to later find out the plane actually landed somewhere.

[Cnasty]

i think after a certain amount of time it was a pretty safe gamble that plane didnt land anywhere. it would be good business to get the jump on taking credit!

The more this story goes on, the more it starts to sound like either total catastrophic mechanical failure, or rapid cabin depressurization, ala Payne Stewart's plane

We should have a thread where we admit stuff we're embarassed to admit, but this thread will work.


I think Steve Harvey on Family Feud is hilarious.

[Cnasty]

I think he is pretty funny without trying that hard.

I dont think he is good enough for his own talk show but who doesnt have their own now a days?

[Weasel]

I think Steve Harvey is great. Tyler Perry, not so much
