    Pre versus Post COVID -- What Activities/Items that you did prior to COVID are you No Longer Going to Do Post COVID?

    Different terminology and viewpoint from us. The people we "dropped" weren't dead weight or such, it's just that working from home did not mesh for them. They needed an office and more structure to be productive. When given that structure, they were contributors. If they weren't contributors...

    Pre versus Post COVID -- What Activities/Items that you did prior to COVID are you No Longer Going to Do Post COVID?

    I rarely went to stores before COVID, and won't be doing that once it's over. And our meetings have been virtual for years now. It will be interesting to see what percentage of workers nation-wide do end up staying remote. This especially will have an impact on high cost of living cities and...

    Pre versus Post COVID -- What Activities/Items that you did prior to COVID are you No Longer Going to Do Post COVID?

    We've gone to a performance-based model. There is no set PTO. Take off as much as you want, work as much as you want. As part of that, compensation is largely a bonus plan, people that do well get about 50% of their total compensation in bonuses. These are paid throughout the year, when a given...

    FSN Adding More Games But...

    FSN, now known as the "Bally's Network", has announced that they're coming out with a direct-to-consumer subscription service. So instead of partnering with YTTV or such, you'll need to pay a separate subscription fee, like you do for BTN+ or ESPN+

    All Things OSU vs Bama -- Who Do Ya Pick to Win?

    It was actually a serious question. Do the targeting penalties carry over to the next season? It could make the game a bit more interesting to watch...

    Cooking with Unique Spices

    If you're really into Saffron as a spice, Saffron from different parts of the world tastes very different, just like honey from say Northern India is very different than honey from Chennai and very different than honey from Minnesota. If you can find Saffron from Greece, go with that. And also...

    Pre versus Post COVID -- What Activities/Items that you did prior to COVID are you No Longer Going to Do Post COVID?

    For me, in March we shut down most of our corporate offices in the U.S. and Australia, and everyone is working remotely, London, India, and Singapore still have "bricks and mortar" buildings, but we will be closing the India office once that lease expires and are going to an all-remote model...

    Fascinating read: The pandemic has all but shut down the income streams for halftime performers, who typically make $1,500 to $5,000 a show.

    I was just thinkin' of that one. Yep, that was a good show. Didn't even know he was playing that night though, so it made no difference on my deciding to go there that game. After that, I've always found the halftime acts pretty lame.

    Freeman

    Freeman has improved a LOT from last year. This conversation is the same as what people were saying at the beginning of the season about Robbins and how he was going to be worthless. Now he's National Player of the Week. It takes some time to adjust from high school ball to the B1G. He's...

    All Things OSU vs Bama -- Who Do Ya Pick to Win?

    If someone from THE Ohio State University gets called for targeting in the second half of the game, does that mean they miss the first half of their first game next year? :)

    All Things OSU vs Bama -- Who Do Ya Pick to Win?

    Bama is going to smoke OSU's secondary. One hope, a slim one, is that Bama players will be more concerned about not getting hurt (e.g., focus on their NFL tryouts) versus playing hard to win. The line is Alabama -7.5 and 76 points.

    Trying to keep up with local sports via streaming was a failure - Reusse

    So the Trib has a sportswriter that got fired from his backup job cause he had terrible ratings, has trouble paying his monthly bills, doesn't watch sports, and can't stick to a diet. Yep...

    2020-2021 College Basketball Other Games Thread

    21st ranked Duke managed to come from behind to salvage a one-point win over Boston College who falls to 2-8 on the season. It's Duke's 4th win of the year (the other wins are Coppin State, Bellarmine and ND), yet they're still ranked...

    Official 2022 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    That's exactly my point on what I posted. Right now there's only a one-year exemption to the 85 limit, so in 2022 there will be very few open slots. The 2022 'cruits are the ones that get slammed by COVID.

    All Things OSU vs Bama -- Who Do Ya Pick to Win?

    Where's Stan these days??? Was waiting for the thread to post, but wait no more. COVID rumors about OSU are swirling -- just gameship coming out of Columbus, or a real concern? And Bama's losing their OC -- will that have any impact?

    Official 2022 Gophers Football Recruiting Thread: Links, Tweets, Videos, Rumors

    Yep, as I posted earlier, that's my understanding, but it's only a one-year exemption to the rule. If that sticks, 2022 cruits are going to have a hard time finding slots.
