  1. Past hour
  2. This isn't a fake movie trailer for the sake of comedy? We're sure?
  3. I can also recall being in high school in the late 2000s/early 2010s. Maybe it was my bubble but most guys I knew just cared about sports, video games, and girls. For fun we’d watch dumb YouTube vids and just hangout or drive around outside. Young males nowadays seem to care about sports, video games, weightlifting, and listening to podcasts. It’s not stigmatized at all to be a virgin (which isn’t a bad thing), it’s not cool to drink or do drugs (also not a bad thing), but damn if you spent all day watching red-pill videos and listening to political podcasts back in my day you were definitely some dweeb loser. That’s not the case at all today.
  4. And that is why I have him on ignore
  5. Come be a (bigger) bag holder with me!
  6. Meh, they will just own the libs by going to places that have them and clogging up the ER.
  7. No offense to this guy, but I fucking hated Supertramp. My friend would play that shit when we rode in his car and he'd sing along, just to get my goat. I'm glad he'd dead, Jimmy!!
  8. Its hard for me to throw darts at the OL with some of the shit that happens everywhere else that isn't necessarily because arch or the RBs are getting harassed in the backfield.
  9. I felt the sound was terrible all game long and you could not hear the Officials Mic.
  10. Because they were raised by Gen Xers, possibly the worst generation ever
  11. I think it’s a bot
  12. Yeah I've said from the beginning when he started off on all these tangents: It's a race track. Just focus on having the best racing facility you can, with as much great racing as you can host, with the best racing fan experience possible, and sit back and watch all that money flow in. It's not rocket surgery.
  13. Keep it up, whoever you are, you Surly magnificent bastard. +1
  14. We addressed the defensive line with a sense of urgency this offseason that was missing on the offensive line. Presumably because Sark and Flood thought that the players that have been in the program have developed well enough to play at a high level. What is painfully obvious now is that Stroh and Hutson (and by extension Neto since Stroh beat him out) are not anywhere near the standard we are holding our roster management on defense at. That doesn’t mean Flood needs to get fired or that Baker is a bust this early in his career but we failed to recognize that 3rd and 4th year players are not nearly as good as we need them to be. That’s a failure of Flood’s part and pointing that out isn’t wrong IMO.
  15. Gonna need to hear about ol' HOG's thoughts on age of consent.
  16. Not much happening. Market going sideways. got my bitaxe miner set up. Not mining to pool. Just doing for fun, looking to hit lotto on solo miner. It’s very small. Cool little fan set up for cooling. Then a nice UI for checking up on how it’s running. I’m just going normal speed. Not over clocking it.
  17. Does he have more kids or DV allegations?
  18. https://www.theringer.com/2025/09/09/nba/kawhi-leonard-los-angeles-clippers-steve-ballmer-aspiration-salary-cap-circumvention Teams sometimes connect players with team sponsors or local businesses to help facilitate an individual endorsement deal—a practice that is indeed common and fully within the rules. Stephen Curry, for instance, does commercials for Rakuten, which has a sponsorship deal with the Golden State Warriors. The HEB supermarket chain, a longtime sponsor of the San Antonio Spurs, has long employed Spurs players to star in its cheeky TV commercials. But these sorts of deals generally pay in the hundreds of thousands or, at most, “the low six figures,” per multiple sources, and they require the players to actively promote the brand—via commercials, appearances, or social media posts. According to Torre’s reporting, however, Leonard’s deal with Aspiration did not require him to do anything—and Leonard, by all appearances, indeed did nothing. Yet Aspiration agreed to pay him $28 million, of which it still owes $7 million, per the bankruptcy filing. Leonard also had a side deal with the company providing an additional $20 million in (now worthless) stock, according to the Boston Sports Journal. Also of note: The entire deal would be void if Leonard changed teams, according to documents reviewed by Torre. None of this is normal, according to people around the league. “It reeks,” said a former player who has also worked in a variety of front office roles. The dollar figures alone are “extreme,” said another former team executive, who added that the “no-show” element was “a huge red flag” and “smells the most in this whole thing.” No one we spoke to said that they had ever witnessed or even heard whispers of anything quite like this during their years working in the NBA. This is a cynical league in which a number of below-market contracts for star players have raised suspicions over the past two decades. But an assertion that “everyone is doing it” was emphatically dismissed. “Everyone is doing it?!” said one current team executive, adding, with a laugh, “No. Everyone is not funneling $48 million under the table through sham sponsorships.”
  19. Using Alan Dershowitz as your example is some incredible work.
  20. This is a big cause of the disconnect. Here's a 2016 Statesman editorial stating that 73% of the officers at the time lived outside Austin, and how that was a problem: https://www.statesman.com/story/news/2016/09/04/public-would-be-better-served-if-austin-police-officers-lived-in-city/10061173007/ We all have our biases. Folks in hiring positions tend to hire people like them. If everyone recruiting and hiring is living in far off suburbs, then new hires are likely to live in far off suburbs. If police can drive into Austin four days a week, do their shift, and go home having never lived here, what incentive do they have to serve the local population well? They are not bad people, they are just doing what they have to do to get a paycheck. They are focused on their kids and their family and their community, and none of that is in Austin. The police department should try to build homegrown officers. They should be recruiting at LBJ, Akins, Navarro, Crockett, and all of the other schools within the city of Austin. They should be providing a pathway for interested graduates to get relevant experience and return when they are ready to enter the academy. And the city should provide financial incentives for officers to live within the city limits. Even if the homegrown folks eventually moved to the burbs, we would have police officers with local relatives or a memory of growing up in Austin, and perhaps they may feel more connection to Austin and be more incented to try to improve the city rather than just police.
  21. Funny enough…a coupla hundred years ago, the Catholic Church in South America declared the aquatic capybara to be a fish…so the poor could eat them on Friday. It swims, so it’s a fish. I dunno how they taste, but they do make an incredibly soft leather.
