  1. Past hour
  2. 10k shares of UEC. I bought it as a long-term uranium play expecting a more robust nuclear energy future. Probably because I worked in the nuclear power industry when I moved to Louisiana (before my completely accidental switch into law). if I lose everything on this one that’s fine, but I’m not going to sell this unless I need money to move to a foreign country when I need hospice. By then I think the shares will have increased to the point I can create a sex hospice chain catering to westerners that will keep my heirs in moolah forever.
  3. I don't know what is going on, but this is some of the funniest shit I have ever seen. Brigitte and her former student are suing for defamation. Fucking wild.
  4. No one is cancelling Pedro pascal. You’re just trying so hard to be anti whatever cancel culture you think exists.
  5. aww, babe, you think i’m no.1? you’re so sweet. 😍
  6. @Brisketexan wheelhouse!!!!!!
  7. really? being against cancelling pedro pascal for having an anxiety disorder is a strange hill? if you say so. 🤷🏼‍♂️
  8. For the t-shirt...How many HDMI ports?
  9. Pirate Reville.
  10. So little actual dog under that fur.
  11. Of all people Who need to not be on social media, he’s probably the top of the list.
  12. Sorry I'm high, I said "that woman" but clearly I know she's Vanessa Kirby
  13. It actually blows my mind that someone being unsure of what to do with one of his hands at a photoshoot causes someone to think he's trying to grope that woman lol
  14. It actually blows my mind that they basically confirmed a 30 year old fan theory in this episode. As far as I'm aware, no canon Star Trek media to date had yet even hinted that Trelane was probably a Q, much less that he seems to actually be Q Junior. I know they didn't name him in the episode, but that's clearly Trelane. And honestly, how many current Star Trek fans under the age of 50 have even seen The Squire of Gothos? That's some next level fan service. Bravo to the showrunners.
  15. In lieu of your TDS, you might try and understand the system and how it works. The money printing is driven by government borrowing and spending. the nearly 50% inflation we just experienced under Biden doesn't leave me feeling comfortable that if a Democrat is in charge we can trust them to guarantee stable prices. Which party do you trust to guarantee stable prices? Also, please show your work where this "independence" didn't decrease the value of the dollar by 99% over the last 100 years.
  16. Fair points all. Whatever one thinks about Garland/Biden, they ultimately indicted and prosecuted a highly political case in the January 6 mess. They also immediately indicted and prosecuted a somewhat less political case in the Maralago documents case. Child sexual abuse is not political (well at least not until Qanon got hold of it). It also tends to be prosecuted by true believer jihadists. If there had been a convictable case against Donald Trump, and I virtually guarantee some of those jihadists were looking for one, it would have been brought during the Biden Administration. ETA: maybe the better way to look at it is the Biden Administration was not going to bring a child sexual abuse case on weak evidence just to fuck with Trump. Can't say the same about Trump Administration. If they thought they could bring a chickenshit case against Bill Clinton, they'd do it in a heartbeat.

    They did not hold back. A certain residence in DC is going to go ape shit
  18. They should change their name from the A’s to the F’s. Dadupum
  19. Because you don't want an asshole like Trump in charge of monetary policy. End of discussion.
  20. My sister-in-law grew up in this Indianapolis house. The architect told her parents that he always wanted to design something based on Truilli architecture, and they told him to go for it....
  21. I'm with you on almost everything posted on this page, save the bolded. For every person of interest from poor schlub to mildly famous all the way to household name, the standard for the feds isn't "convictable," it's "can't fucking miss." When you see shit cases like the Roger Clemens indictment, you know that the career prosecutors were overruled by politicians. I've been told this by several federal prosecutors and a couple of district judges (caveat on the judges: way back in law school before Obama broke people's brains). Even at the state level, "convictable" is a subjective term. Those things said, there could be pretty damning evidence in there. Evidence that might even convince a few Trumpers. But it wouldn't see the light of day under federal prosecutorial protocol if the case wasn't so airtight that no jury in any jurisdiction would find a former president, one of the most famous people in the world, and who has created a cult of personality so strong that he could actually shoot someone on 5th Avenue and not lose a vote, not guilty.
  22. the b1g wants 442213 for the 3/6 4/5 play-ins for whom the bell tolls..... https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6509205/2025/07/22/tony-petitti-big-ten-cfp-expansion/ Tony Petitti stands by Big Ten’s CFP plan, calls 6-3 in league play ‘a great record’ LAS VEGAS — Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti on Tuesday defended his proposed 16-team College Football Playoff format that would allocate twice as many automatic berths to the Big Ten and SEC. Speaking on the first day of his conference’s media days, Petitti said a field primarily determined by conference standings, rather than the CFP rankings, would make the selection process more objective and allow leagues to create their own CFP play-in games the first weekend in December. “The Big Ten has been consistent in its strong preference for a Playoff system that allocates spots based on conference standings and the results of playing games,” Petitti said. “We want to better connect the regular season and the postseason.” The FBS commissioners have been stuck at an impasse for more than a year in determining the size and format of the Playoff when its new contract with ESPN begins ahead of the 2026 season. That contract specifies that any changes to the current 12-team format must be determined by Dec. 1. The Big Ten first introduced the “4-4-2-2-1” concept — four automatic qualifiers for the Big Ten and SEC, two each for the ACC and Big 12, one for the top-ranked Group of 5 champion — during spring 2024 meetings of CFP leaders. But outside of one interview with Fox Sports analyst Joel Klatt, his media days address was the first time Petitti made his pitch publicly. Initially it appeared the Big Ten and SEC were aligned on the proposed format, but that’s no longer the case. SEC commissioner Greg Sankey, speaking at his league’s media days last week, said, “We had a different view coming out of (May’s SEC meetings) around the notion of allocations, if you will. … The Big Ten has a different view, that’s fine.” The ACC and Big 12 have made clear they support a “5+11” model: the top five conference champs, as is the case currently, plus 11 at-large bids. “Why would I as a commissioner cap (the Big 12’s) participation?” commissioner Brett Yormark said at his league’s media days. “It makes no sense.” Petitti reiterated that the Big Ten and SEC “control changes to the CFP format and the selection committee process” going forward “after considering feedback from the membership.” “We are open to considering any format ideas that come from our (conference) colleagues or the CFP staff,” he said, “but to be clear, formats that increase the discretion and role of the CFP selection committee will have a difficult time getting support from the Big Ten.” A big part of Petitti’s pitch is the concept of conference play-in games. In the Big Ten’s vision, conference championship weekend would no longer consist solely of No. 1 vs. No. 2 matchups, but also 3 vs. 6 and 4 vs. 5, the winners of which would receive automatic CFP berths. Petitti predicted “fans will gravitate to it.” Had that been in place last year, the No. 6 seed would have been Iowa, which finished 6-3 in the conference and 8-4 overall. Petitti pushed back when a reporter said, “I don’t sense a clamor for a four-loss team in the Playoff.” “If you’re 6-3 in the Big Ten, I would argue that’s a great record, and if you stumbled in a nonconference game, I don’t know why that disqualifies you,” Petitti said. “8-4 as a winning percentage, if you project that winning percentage in every other sport, I’m pretty sure you make the postseason. … There are plenty of teams in professional sports who qualify for the playoffs who can’t get past the first-round game. That’s OK, they still get to play. We’ll figure it out on the field, rather than sitting in a room.” The six Big Ten coaches who spoke Tuesday all supported Petitti’s plan. Ohio State coach Ryan Day said Big Ten schools will be less likely to play tough out-of-conference games without the assurance of automatic berths, given they play nine league games as compared with the SEC’s eight. “If we’re going to be in a situation where we get four automatic qualifiers, then I think it’d be great to have a 10th game against a Power 4 team,” Day said. “If we’re not going to do that, then I don’t think it makes sense.”
