  1. Past hour
  2. Bought a extra case of beer, I should be fine for a couple days.
  3. Didn’t he just get fucking smoked by some WR in mini camp?
  4. there's going to be a backlash like there always is in the mid terms. the real question is when will good people realize that you have to vote in every god damned election and you have to organize, give money and give time to help our neighbors who are running, from city council and school board to state rep and senate to state wide and then federal and national elections. it's not an option anymore.
  5. This is a pretty cool front page for the Denver Post sports section.
  6. Aussies has been south of Town Lake since at least 1998.
  7. Are you still high/drunk?
  8. Just make sure they have fun and learn to be good teammates. That sounds gay but that's your #1 job. Losing is good for everyone, too.
  9. So what is wrong with Yordan? He hurt his hand in batting practice yesterday right? Out until the all-star break?
  10. It's two parts: antitrust suit is reactive, and the data privacy is proactive
  11. Can't recommend anything specifically, but it's probably worth your while to have a look at trailforks and mtbproject for green and green/blue trails. https://www.trailforks.com/region/austin/trails/ https://www.mtbproject.com/directory/8010446/austin They may not be all that useful at really deciding which trails you want to ride, but they do get you to the trails and help you navigate them some. For actually recording rides, and locating yourself on trails, I have found alltrails to be pretty good. One thing it has that Strava really doesn't is entire loops of trails rather than segments that the speed merchants try to ride at suicidal speed. The Marlin is fine as a starter bike. If you stay committed to riding and enjoy it and want to up your skills and abilities, you can make a more intelligent choice as to a more capable bike later on. Also beware when researching trails that GoPro video of rides significantly flatten actual climbs and descents and could deceive you into trying something you're really not ready for.
  12. Did yours die?
  13. I'm talking from a strictly unfiltered stats perspective, of course. Obviously every player has a different skill set and they bring a different layer of complexity to the team dynamic. I have already been a seeing a lot of talk about his D-zone play, but I think people need to remember he's a winger. He's not expected to be a 2-way player the way a center might be. And while still a relatively small sample size, my observation is he is extremely strong in the offensive zone at retaining the puck and distributing to teammates - which is in and of itself a form of defense. maintaining puck possession and setting up teammates or scoring yourself are the primary responsibilities of a winger, and in my armchair observation of watching Stars games for 32 years, Rantanen is the best to do it in a Stars sweater. Small sample size be damned. We don't need an 82 game sample size - he did it for 10 years in COL with better linemates. What last night proved is he can do it without them too.
  14. I watched game 7 at a dude ranch outside of Denver with several die hard Avalanche fans. It was glorious. One kid had a Makar sweater on. He cried when the game was over. I let out the biggest yell on the empty netter. People were not happy with me.
  15. Exactly. That and the fact that we’re without our 2 best players. The last 5 or 6 games of the season we looked slow and confused.
  16. big props to Deboer as well. Riding a 7 game losing streak into the playoffs, your best D man is known to be out, lose a top line forward and top 30 player in the league right before playoffs and you get a team with an AHL Dman, Ceci, and Lybushkin to hold it down against a dynamic offense and a team that was hot coming in.
  17. Wouldn’t Google just contribute to trumps super pac to get the case dropped?
  18. Arch +600 for Heisman at Mgm
  19. it's ok, they're pardons will only cost them $50mil or so
  20. When the Dogefuhrer goes for a walk...
  21. Maybe he’s the best when it’s all said and done but I’m not overlooking players like Modano because of a dominant 3-game run by Rantanen. Also, I don’t think he’s near the two-way player somebody like Mo was once Hitchcock unlocked that part of his game. Rantanen isn’t a total zero on defense but that’s never been his thing. But, yes, I’m not sure we’ve ever had a player that could just put the rest of the team on his back like Mikko in the third last night and said, “let’s fucking go.” And then do it. Dutch said the following in Pierre LeBrun’s article in The Athletic: “He just said, `F–k this’ on that first goal. And after that, you could feel something was coming. You could just feel it. He stepped up last few games big time. It was great.’’ I’ll post the whole article from my computer when I get on in a bit. It’s a bit clumsy on the phone.
  22. At least the roof is open, but believe it was last night too.
  23. Rather than blame DOJ, probably need to look at Congress here. DOJ is pressing an antitrust suit, that doesn't address privacy or data rights directly. It is, by nature, a trailing remedy that reaches a lot of harm after it's done. Based on statutes more than 100 years old. Something like GPDR comes from the lege, which in these United States can't be bothered to do anything that benefits the people at the expense of the donor class.
  24. that's what we're up against. there's gaslighting and then whatever the hell that is. not sure it has a name yet
