        On top of that, my sister keeps messenging me with pictures of 2' of snow. One pic is enough.

        Oh, grandkid #6 (due in July) is a boy. #5, due in a month, will be a surprise. If the track record holds, it will be boys 6, girls 0.

        But that's what makes life fun. Family - you can't beat 'em.

        Now, I have to go down in the basement and check out my eraser stockpile.
        Joe, I hear that you're stressed out, but none of this explains or excuses your comment that the Spanish language channel in America should have English subtitles, simply because it suits your current mood.

        Change the channel? Last I saw, soccer is available in English on more than one channel. If that's not currently the case, then why watch soccer if it bothers you that much? More to the point, if you can see the play, who needs the commentary? We all know good, non-partisan announcers in any sport are rare anyway.

        Sorry, but your complaint is 100% old angry white man.

          To clear this up, the CONCACAF Champions League has no English broadcast outside of go90 so joe's choice was to watch on UDN or something else.

          In his defense, Univision Deportes typically has an English SAP option for most broadcasts, MLS, Liga MX, and others generally have it, but was prevented for this broadcast by rights issues.

              You know many people that are into Mexican telenovelas? Neither do I. I don't think it is racist to say that most people that speak English in the US are not interested in Mexican TV broadcasts.

                Now, there's nothing wrong with that happening, it's just the truth. Look at the ratings. It'd be the same as if you said people outside of the midwest and New England probably don't want to watch college hockey (areas that are predominantly white). It's just the truth.
                No, I didn't even know they played soccer on that channel. I thought that was the Mexican soap opera channel.

                          Considering some of the soccer announcers we’ve been subjected to, there is truth to this.

                                The new project process for testing.

                                I complete a test script and send it to the project manager. I give my name as the tester, state all the objects being tested have passed their tests. Now I have to send a follow-up email stating that I have tested the application and that all of the tests have passed the stated criteria.

                                Why? The inanity of such a step completely confounds me. Add to that, they call it a testing approval, which is something that used to come from the manager of the person performing the test after having reviewed the script and notes given by the tester. What good does having the original tester approve of his/her own test?

                                "I've stated that 2+2=5."
                                "I sincerely believe in the content of my earlier statement."
                                "The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command." George Orwell, 1984

                                "One does not simply walk into Mordor. Its Black Gates are guarded by more than just Orcs. There is evil there that does not sleep, and the Great Eye is ever watchful. It is a barren wasteland, riddled with fire and ash and dust, the very air you breathe is a poisonous fume." Boromir
