  1. Past hour
  2. There’s a your mom joke in here for sure
  3. Yep. And I think both types of doctor suffer from "overspecialization." Not only are they cramming in a shit ton of knowledge, it becomes increasingly narrow and specialized academically and professionally so that they can no longer see any type of forest for the trees. Probably all of us suffer from this to one degree or another. That's one thing I love about these forums, I increase my exposure to different subject matter constantly, from expert types in their respective fields.
  4. Sophia Lauren was quite the vision in her day.
  5. I think as much as anything Lanning is getting the benefit of the doubt. He's only been a head coach for 3 years, but he's gone 10-3, 12-2, and 13-1. He has an intense style which is appealing. I loved his pregame speech before the Colorado game, and the way he prepared his team to go into Wisconsin with the Jump Around song was pretty hilarious. Although the way Oregon played overall in that game was underwhelming, even if they did come out with the victory. But then again, I'm a big Dan Lanning fan. He's a bit of an asshole inside the program in terms of he has a bit of Bill Snyder in him. If football isn't everything to you, he doesn't really want to have much to do with you. He makes extreme demands on his staff and players in terms of the priority they put on football. But for me that's not a bug. It's a feature. He's great with alumni in ways Cristobal couldn't be bothered. He sees fundraising and alumni relations as a big part of his job. I don't know what kind of season they're going to have. I'm with CTJ in that I see a lot of holes. But I've also been underwhelmed with some of their personnel at the beginning of a season - last year particularly the offensive line - but they still find ways to get the job done. I feel like losing Evan Stewart for 2025 was a big blow. They have a huge resource in Phil Knight for NIL. They have a bunch of boosters along with him, but no one approaches Knight's impact. Even outside of NIL, he'll meet with recruits and players. It's a blinding glimpse of the obvious to say, but Knight has done more for an athletic program as a single person than anyone else in college athletics. But even still, they are extremely organized in how they handle NIL. They work with a budget. They prioritize players. They value the dynamic between keeping a roster and bringing in new talent. I don't feel like they're as allergic to character issues as maybe Texas is. They'll make exceptions if the player is talented enough and count on their culture to rein bad tendencies in. Not sure how that will work out for them in the long run, but it's definitely a difference I see. I'll be rooting for Oregon unless they play us, so I'm biased. I could certainly see a fall off. But right now it's mostly a "In Lanning we trust" kind of mindset.
  6. Let's F'n Go !!!!!!
  7. I have worked in a place that employs a number of PhD’s. In the beginning of my time there, I was always impressed when someone had that level of education. The shine is off. The human brain is only used by us to what, 20% of its capacity? Whatever the low number is that gets thrown around? My theory is that PhD’s have crammed so much knowledge into that 20% of the brain we use in order to excel in their field of choice, that something else was forced out. Common sense. The ability to perform basic maintenance checks on a vehicle. Simple bodily hygiene. How to make a sandwich. Not putting Dawn liquid into the dishwasher when you run out of Cascade so you don’t turn your kitchen into a scene from Mr. Mom. That sort of thing. Anymore, when I meet a PhD, I judge them in a way that asks the question “what has your brain given up to reach this level?” M.D.’s are susceptible to this. For God’s sake, there have been instances where someone went into the hospital to have a leg amputated, and they took the wrong leg. You can make it a lot more easily with one leg than with none. But no, they still had to go back in and take the other one. The absolute worst are the rare M.D./PhD. My daughter works for UT Health in the TMC. Her former boss was an M.D./PhD. His family had to have paid someone to give him those degrees. He’s an idiot. The staff had to babysit him to make sure he doesn’t try to use research grant funds on $2500 bottles of wine or $15k Christmas parties for the staff. Rant over.

  13. Video is from a past post by @Honeysucklerose Thanks!!! "27 days. As in 27-25" 🤘
  14. You could argue that the federal prosecutions were less political than the NY prosecution, especially the Mar A Lago case. And therefore less easily dismissed than the NY case. But, I'm pretty sure that's shitting in one hand and hoping in the other.
  15. 27 DAYS🤘 ALL-AMERICAN JOHNNIE JOHNSON
  16. love that cash considerations move by Dana! Got a lefty reliever who looks like he might have something to offer.
  17. He's definitely in the lead at this point.
  18. I've been hopeful in the past that something would get through to the Russian public. At some point, there will be that final straw, but I'm done with even trying to speculate nowadays.
  19. Haha, I've noticed him doing that quite a bit in DT threads. Not sure if I've ever actually seen him post.
  20. Brennan Thompson sucks. And his mom is a cunt
  21. I missed out on Wrestlecircus tickets before they folded, but wasn't aware of a school in town. Very cool.
  22. Maga wants people in prison for Biden's mental acuity, but all the Trump Truth Social batshittery is A-OK. Let's imagine the reactions if Obama did <fill in the blank with any of the crazy shit Trump says or does>.
