Non-political things that make you say...WTF?!?! (Welcome To Florida!) **NOT CV RELATED** NO TALKY!

Looks like something a London Range Rover owner would buy along with spray on mud in a can

 

we used to call them our lawn mowing shoes (got green naturally by working)...and didnt pay over $20 for them..

 

In the 80's and 90's if you wanted ripped jeans you bought new ones and cut and ripped them yourself. By the 2000's you just bought them that way and paid twice as much. Now people want broken in looking shoes worth 10 pairs. I don't get it.

 

Bad times on the I-5 Grapevine...

 

Oh!! That's bad!!

 

I'm headed that route next week

 

Nothing like people coming to a stop in the fast lane in fog.

 

Yeah, especially when people over-drive their vision... If you can't stop in the distance you can see, you're rolling the dice that the way is clear.

 

My pet peeve is when people drive with their hazard lights on in the fog or rain. Makes it so hard to work out the distance and when people drive up on them and see the hazard lights flashing they jam on their brakes....

 

When the bank repos the truck but contracting is life.

 

You and me both. Especially when the dumbazz isn't even going slow. WTF? I see them passing people, going over the speed limit, hazard lights blinking away.

 

The Grapevine area can be challenging even in clear weather, always a lot of high speed traffic mixed in with a lot of big rigs.

 

You mean like every highway in America?

 

Buying a coffee at 7-11.
Guy in front of me is buying powerball tickets.
10 with the same numbers.

Clearly a statically challenged individual.
Ok so he wants to increase his share, if he wins.
Dude at 300,000,000 to 1 odds you are not going to win tenfold.

 

I would venture a guess that a high percentage of lottery ticket buyers have difficulty understanding statistics and odds/ratios.

But this is utter genius.

If his number wins and he has to split it 10 ways, he gets to split it with himself!

Take that, establishment!

 

But it is so stupid. I’m not in FL as the thread metaphorically eludes, but are people who presumably went to Jr. High school really this demented?

“Strategies” for those who like to play:

1. Buy one ticket lose $ (the “fun of playing”)
2. Buy one ticket each drawing, lose $ over time with infintesimal odds adjustment (the wishful thinking players)
3. Buy more tickets for one drawing, lose more $ now with even less infinitesimal odds calculations (the I don’t understand how it works crowd)
4. Buy multiples of same ticket, lose more $ on this ticket (the I hope they don’t drive on the same roads that I pay taxes for cohort)
5. Play a previous winner or at a location with prior winners, (missed learning to read crowd)

 

Florida man charged with sexual battery on underage girl he allegedly lured after claiming to be 'Instagram famous'



A man was charged with sexual battery after he allegedly hired a driver to transport an underage girl from Texas to his family's home in Florida before holding her captive for three days, police said.

Richard Brown, 25, allegedly convinced the young girl he was "Instagram famous" and could provide for her. The two met on the social-media site and chatted for several months before Brown convinced her to visit him at his parents' home in Apopka, Fla., near Orlando, according to an affidavit. He then allegedly paid over $800 for the car taking her from San Antonio to Apopka.


When she got there, however, she realized that he was not who she believed he was -- but he responded by claiming she "owed him for bringing her out here," investigators said. She allegedly was sexually battered several times while the suspect took drugs including cocaine over the course of three days, the affidavit stated.

Time to pull a trick out of the book of Vlad III. Someone find a 12' long 3"diameter stick.

 

Actually there is one benefit. If he gets the number, and someone else also gets it. He gets ten shares and the other person gets one. If he only bought one, he just gets half.
