  1. Past hour
  2. My POV that game.
  3. He may work in hydraulics, where degrees aren’t as critical.
  4. Fuck me, fuck you, whatever it takes
  5. Ha. The guy did say when I asked about the ease of getting there that you choose to fly into Des Moines or Cedar Rapids and rent a car. Initially, they sent her some good email marketing about how tight knit of a community they are. I think to someone who is scared about going away, that really resonated with her. She really enjoyed the virtual tour and talk they gave. I spoke with the representative last night from Grinnell and he helped put my mind at ease a bit. He talked about how only 8% of students at Grinnell are in-state so the rest are out of state and international students. Most everyone there are in the same boat of not knowing people. Since the campus and town are small, they rely more on each other. I haven't verified this but he said Harvard did a study on friendship bias which is how do students over different socio-economic and cultural classes interact with one another. The study found Grinnell had the lowest amount of this of all the colleges they surveyed. We talked about if she was accepted, we would take a visit there in the winter. He actually encouraged that as he completely gets that Iowa is not what a lot of people think of when they're thinking their ideal college destination. I think the vibe of it really felt good to her. We had a discussion on the car ride home about each college and what going to that city might mean. For Colorado College, you have a tremendous playground that I would be mad if she didn't take advantage of. For Grinnell, your college is your world there so you have to be sure that you're good with not having much else to do outside of campus. We had a good time at the small college fair. It was poorly attended which was sad for the reps who flew in for it but it allowed us to meet with the ones she was interested with and not compete for time like the other fair we went to. I don't know why they thought Duncanville was a good location as you cut off a lot of Northern Dallas which is more their target audience. I think maybe 20 people were there. Each one had a 5 minute presentation about their college which was helpful. We're already onboard with Colorado College who was there and I wanted to hear more about Grinnell. We also talked to Macalister College in St Paul, Minnesota which interested her. We've been to the Twin Cities before as she had a friend that lived there but she previously hadn't given that area much thought. There were some others there like Sarah Lawrence College in Bronxville, NY that were interesting to hear from but I'm not sure she's that interested in heading east if it's not NYC she's attending school in. They're about 30 minutes north near Yonkers. Connecticut College was there. Very pretty campus right near the Long Island Sound. Some others we ruled out that were there were Claremont McKenna in California, Haverford outside of Philly, and Kenyon which is in Ohio. She has at least 3 she would like to apply for now and we had a nice talk about applying with Colorado College. Still nothing from our college guy. Just so weird.
  6. I'm just waiting for the video of an aggy student protesting the teaching of slavery in his history class. Of course, in a few years I won't be able to laugh at it.
  7. Any update on this?
  8. What a dumbass. You don't marry the sidepiece and if you do you certainly do it before she hits the sell-by date.
  9. Oddly both espn and fangraphs say the Astros have a lower change of making the playoffs than the Mariners, despite being up one game. Doesn't make a ton of sense to me becasue even the projected record shows Astros with .2 more wins than Mariners.
  10. SP+ is still mainly using data from last year. Paragraph right above the rankings: Note: Early in the season, ratings are based primarily on preseason projections, including special teams ratings. Over the course of the season, preseason numbers are slowly phased out from week to week.
  11. I find it weird that you have conversations with people, assuming you haven't also HIRED people, and can't/don't remember important facts in their life, like where they matriculated. I also love the nice little attempt at a dig there, like I or anyone else doesn't actually work in a results driven field. Outside of government and general bureaucracy, I'd argue that most fucking fields are results driven.
  12. Unfortunately, both of these classes are only offered at the graduate level at tech.
  13. Aging baby boomers. A generation defined by their unwavering liberal values and not a "fuck me, got mine" worldview. Do I have that right? This thread has really brought the lulz
  14. Culture war politics is DT.
  15. Checked today’s arrivals board and there’s a flight on Viva. If I recall correctly, it’s less than daily. I believe they’re adding AIFA this fall on the days that they don’t fly to MTY.
  16. That there are three Hruska's Kolache shops in Utah, started and run by three siblings from Texas, using the family recipes.
  17. 2, 5, 1, 4, 3
  18. The silence of Trump supporters is deafening. I imagine them either ignoring this ongoing event, or, worse, laughing at it. After all, this is what burning it all down looks like.
  19. I recall consternation after we played Rice and Wyoming in 2023. I also remember us looking pretty good against a ranked Louisiana team in 2021. Plenty of other examples, but there's just not much you can take away, good or bad, in G5 games. The only things I'm focused on are whether Arch can start hitting short and intermediate passes and if the OL can stop committing false starts.
  20. LOL! I bet you also think the “DEI ban” means college professors can’t teach slavery as though it was bad. I’m sure that’ll be the next snowflake outburst. Fucking pathetic.
  21. If you think that’s good, checkout this SECRants thread about him where he comes in and owns people hating on him. (Or atleast someone claiming to be him). https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/williamtaylor21-finally-lands-his-dream-job/119806497/
