The best way to know and understand someone that's different from you is to jump right into their world.
The mid-20's is by far the hardest time of your life. It's a time where you\'re discovering who you really are. It's a time where you start to see who you'll really be for the rest of your life. It\s a time where you make less money than someone older than you and yet you both do the same job. The only reason that older person makes more money is because they supposedly have "experience".

Glad to have this clarified. Contrary to what some would say there would be a pretty big mess if they were to add on a section or two right now. No way they could come up with a way to sell those seats to season ticket holders and be fair to those who have already picked.

Probably wouldn't be time to expand the stadium prior to season starting if the decided to do so now. Would take some time to design, fund, permit and ultimately build. Earliest I could see it would be next offseason, and then they would probably re-seat the stadium all over again. Despite the extremely rapid season ticket sales, they will want to see how/if the seats are actually filled before making any decision on expansion. My guess.

All through the winter of '43, we had translators working in joke-proof conditions to try and produce a German version of the joke. They worked on one word each for greater safety. One of them saw two words of the joke and spent several weeks in hospital. But a part from that, things went pretty quickly, and we soon had the joke by January in a form which our troops couldn't understand, but which the Germans could.

They looked good to me. I wonder what the problem was?

quality related issue... simple non-conformance to required specs and engineering requirements

I wonder if their office ever gets tired of dispelling all the rumors that are generated in the internet age.

I did QC and those panels were not up to standard. They are being replaced with ones made from anthracite...

Not long. They are pre-cast and still have the molds

Maybe, but one benefit of the internet age is that it's a lot easier to monitor the rumors before they get out of hand.
Exactly what I was thinking. It also affords to opportunity to test the waters with the public, like with our logo change. The internet allowed them to backpedal on the changes, when otherwise they may have executed the changes and had to deal with the backlash during the season.

Exactly. Because the cannons a couple weeks ago to ward off the French on The Borgias looked good enough as well except for the fact they were made of plaster and couldn't shoot a cannon ball.
Just because something looks like a cement slab doesn't mean it's a solid concrete slab or made of the right chemical composition.
