Baron...well, recruiting for your team...good news. There's nowhere to go but up. - Will Hunting May 15, 11:07 2
- Yup. Fortunately I have some tools I can work with. I swear they were all out of position when I walked in. - Barontronic May 15, 13:33
- That's an unexpected level of realism. New coach comes in late in the recruiting cycle and all of the recruits decommit and go to different schools -- nm* - JD May 15, 11:14

      - But 🎂 -- nm - JD May 15, 11:14
The fact that in the year of our Lord 2021 iOS still can’t set more than one timer is stupid. -- nm - spamlet May 15, 10:52 3
- Timers vs Alarms, essentially. -- nm - IAmQale May 15, 12:23 1
