The school administrator might want to get rid of class rankings but that probably won't fly too far. LOTS of scholarship money given away by class ranking, plus the smart kids know who's smart anyway. The niece who graduated this yr was in a smart class 5 of them finished with 4.0, last yrs class only had 1 and a couple of 3.9 somethings.

Doesn't make sense when his kids are still in school.
 
What do you guys think of these bronze-colored Method racing wheels for my car? (picture is not actually of my car, but mine is exactly the same model/color). Right now I have chrome/black alloy wheels.

Worked way too hard this week. Hopefully tomorrow is a slow day at work.

Fairly frustrating week for me trying to get a delivery out the door and I had issues every step of the way. Of course it was for a PM that I haven't worked with much and I am trying to impress since he is pretty much the reason I am still in this position.

That sucks. I think I've narrowed my issues at work to one client contact. If she would retire, my work-life would be pretty much perfect

What carriers do you work with? Out of all the carriers we work with, I can tell you that Old Dominion Freight Lines is the absolute best. Wish UPS was that good.
 
Down the rabbit hole...

The sad part is, the one I was most offended by was one of the tamer ones I saw. There's a subreddit for balls. Just like, all dudes nutsack pics. Like, who would want to see that? Granted, I'm a straight dude, but there is nothing at all attractive about balls. They're creepy and gross looking and just hang there all wrinkly and ****. Why would anyone want a subreddit of thousands of pics of amateur dude's nuts? ******* weird, man.

The whole valedictorian thing is a pet peeve of mine down here in CR. Two HS principals had some belief that if you got above a certain GPA you would qualify for salutatorian/valedictorian respectively. So you had 10-20+ of both listed. Coincidentally these two schools also happened to push upper level and AP classes hard so it was easier to achieve that.

Oh those two principals were married I believe.

A coworkers son transferred from one of those schools to the school I went to and said normal classes and AP to varying extents (he was only there senior year) were harder than his old school.

Rabbuk may be able to shed more light on this.

I think I understand why I'm not on Reddit...

UPS is our preferred carrier. The issues are getting it out the door and through a screwed up non standard process that I have not dealt with until this week.

UPS is our preferred carrier as well. Rates are dirt cheap, but their customer service absolutely sucks. Do you mostly ship small parcel or LTL?

I kinda like them but only because they go well with the gravel color. Would have to see them on concrete or asphalt. :rolleyes:
 
Supposed to head north and visit friends on a lake this weekend. Was supposed to be biking and boating except Saturday is supposed to be boiling hot with the usual insane 35 mph Boxster wind gusts that will make biking or boating totally suck subreddit.*

Holy balls, dude! How bored are you?
 
One time I did go down the rabbit hole looking at videos/pictures from different planets/moons. I started by looking at Hubble images, but quickly realized that most of the pictures you see out there of galaxies, nebulas, etc with all the pretty colors are just artists representations or "color enhanced" pictures.

So I decided to search for real pictures of videos from our solar system and found out that there are quite a few videos or pictures from probes that have been sent to different moons or planets. Many of them I had never seen before and it seems that most of the pictures I had seen where from US space missions. There is quite a bit of European and Russian explorer and probes videos that we usually don't get to see. It was very interesting (in a super nerdy kind of way). Before I knew it, it was 5:30am on a weekday.

Hey @jcyclonee i like how in your last day of school pictures it's a bunch of the little ones, then there's ONE of the teen, and it's her in the car driving away. Youths...
She didn't like the pic I took in front of the fireplace and she's really proud of her car. Also, she leaves an hour before the next child leaves and the boy is grumpy in the morning so I wasn't going to push him to take pictures before he was ready to.
