  1. Past hour
  2. So I’m guessing the sequel is “can’t have low jobs reports if you don’t report on it”
  3. 23 years ago we had a pickup game.
  4. That is what Schumacher would have done and with nearly a 300 point lead in the Constructors there is some wiggle room for Oscar.
  5. Look at the pig brain on Brad!
  6. What's in the picture on the right side of that image?
  7. Probably. But you never know with AI. Because It's dumb.
  8. I don't wear a lot of hats and I don't buy a lot of stuff. I have a sweatshirt, a few t shirts, a rain jacket and a burnt orange hat with just the Longhorn on it. I wear the t shirts quite often. Oh, and the bowling shirt my buddy gave me.
  9. Sounds like you don't have an alibi
  10. Hendrix. Yeah, Dylan wrote it, but there’s only one meaningful version of that song. Poseurs like Dave Matthews Band and U2 can get fucked. I’m someone who rolls the dice every now and then.
  11. Swift is the only blonde on my top 5 celebrity crush list. Not usually my type but there’s no denying that level of hot. She can play my huge guitar any time she wants.
  12. That was tough to watch. I looked over at my wife after that and she was very upset. We have 2 daughters and one works at a yogurt shop now, so it hit a bit close to home. I was 11 when it happened and remember the city feeling different afterwards for quite a while.
  13. I think that was the joke
  14. Not a shot, but how can you have 20K posts on Surly and have 1 and only 1 horns hat?
  15. Gillie da Kid has always been unhinged. He's one of those rappers who never made it, but could have possibly made it? I don't know. I think his claim to fame was being a ghostwriter for all the big name rappers of the 00's.
  16. Don't we have a few hundred page topic on the bias of some conservative leaning news sites? I agree there are biases in almost all news organizations. As far as I know, none of them are a topic of what I am posting about and none of them receive federal funding. Surely you are not suggesting that having NPR is necessary to offset conservative leaning news sites? It is not always about simply editorializing or analyzing. You have to look at the guest list for interviews and the topics discussed. Plus, as all humans do, we often fail to see a bias if the coverage supports our own worldview. Quick example, I queried Immigration and NPR. There is actually a link on NPR's website that collates NPR's coverage of immigration. Of the first 15-20 links, all of them were negative towards the current policy and its actions. Fine. Its newsworthy discussion and the negative impacts need to be made public. But not one single article about the positives. Not one. Just throw in one article out of 20 that details the deportation of hardened criminals, rapists, human smugglers etc. When ICE raids a plant and say ten people are rounded up, there likely will be 1 us citizen wrongly swept up, there likely will be 2 cases of immigrants that really should be here that are law abiding and productive and the rest will likely be really horrible people that never should have been here and need to be deported post haste. We absolutely need reporting and transparency on the first two groups. But we equally need transparency and reporting on the bad guys. How were they able to get here? How have they not already been deported or arrested? When you are publicly funded, you need to try to be even handed. Sure they have been bitching since Nixon. You are unwittingly making my argument. The reason nothing could be done previously is that in Nixon's day there were about as many conservative hosts/panels as there were liberal. There was actual political diversity in the editorial positions at NPR. The right could bitch but there were legitimate facts the left could argue. I think it is a bit telling that you ignored the fact that there seem to be almost zero republican editors currently at NPR. That is a staggering fact. It is almost impossible to explain away. On your last point we agree mostly. I completely favor continued funding. I do think there should be some changes but it is foolish to just abolish. I will also argue that it is unlikely the next great breakthrough in children's educational programming will come from a source like PBS. Today, PBS just doesn't have the reach or funding of other sources and the competition is brutal versus the 1960's when there wasn't any competition.
  17. Raiden has entered the chat
  18. It was SO GOOD back when COVID was hitting in Feb 2020 and President Trump fought against nation-wide testing because if we had no positive tests then we had no pandemic!
  19. 1,000,000 x 1,000 x 29. Imagine what you'd do with a million dollars. Now, imagine what you'd do with a million dollars times one thousand. Then, multiply that by 29. $29 billion is an obscene amount of money for simply breathing air. There's not a single human being living on Planet Earth who deserves such an obscene amount of money.
  20. This guy could very well be right that Arbuckle is the second coming of Lincoln Riley, but the article really hand waves away the talent advantage of that 2015 team and who exactly they lined up against versus who Oklahoma lines up against this year. For receivers, 2015 OU had Sterling Sheppard, Dede Westbrook and Mark Andrew’s catching passes from Baker Mayfield. I can’t even name an Oklahoma pass catcher beyond Deion Burks. Does that mean none of the others won’t step up and become all-SEC performers? No. Is that likely? Probably not. But surely, Jaydn Ott—the top* transfer portal RB—will help make up the difference? Well that 2015 OU team had Semaje Perine and Joe Mixon splitting carriers… As painful as it is to chant “SEC SEC SEC”, Oklahoma has an absolutely brutal schedule this year that you can’t compare to what 2015 Oklahoma faced. Starting next month, Oklahoma has to face Michigan, Auburn, Texas, Alabama, South Carolina, and LSU; all of these teams project to have top-30 defenses. 2015 Oklahoma did actually have to face some successful teams: #6 Baylor, #11 Oklahoma St, #18 TCU, and #23 Tenn. And the fact that they beat all of those teams makes Riley’s and Baker’s performances that much more impressive. But none of those teams likely have the defensive talent of their 2025 schedule.
