  1. Past hour
  2. In hindsight, Cabo with Jessica Simpson seems like the better choice.
  3. The fun thing about this site to me is the characters. Once you kind of get a handle on who is who, everything kind of clicks onto place. The dumb shits consistency and reliability say dumb shit, but in a way it’s sort of nice. Kind of comforting in a strange way.
  4. per my driver fitting, i'm good for 50 drives
  5. Bjork on the ground
  6. That was a very instructive and fucking entertaining story. Thanks for sharing.
  7. Curt Cignetti is getting up there if he keeps getting blown out by real teams. At least Leach beat both Texas and ou, so he has that going for him. Cignetti is all talk.
  8. Couple of videos from the final last weekend. Crowd ended up being pretty solid and Chelsea fans slightly outnumbered PSG. Great experience all around. IMG_5849.mov IMG_5832.mov
  9. I had forgotten how much I did not like this story of how we invented an offense to help OU, A&M, and Alabama.
  10. What's really fascinating to me, is that for all of Trump's ability and expertise at finding and engaging audiences both on his TV show and in real life, and giving them what he wants (witness a lot of his rallies), he really fucked up here, not understanding two unique groups of people: The conspiracy types. He and the folks around him do not understand these people at all, because the conspiracy types are just marks to Trump and Co., people to be grifted off of. If they were ants, Trump would be the kid with the magnifying glass. He's clearly confused why they aren't A) obeying his command to drop the topic and B) obsessed with it. These people exist around and outside of MAGA and are probably pretty close to single-issue voters. And whether they believe he is 100% in on the conspiracy to cover shit up, or that he's compromised in some way and has to go along with a cover-up, it doesn't matter to them because the outcome is the same - pedophiles/etc. are being covered up. In fact, him promising to release the files during the campaign, and now trying to cover up things after the binders given to right-wing influencers, and with Bondi's "Epstein client list sitting on my desk" bullshit is just more evidence in their minds that the conspiracy exists and goes all the way to the top of the government. Calling these people "weaklings" and claiming it was a Democrat hoax made things so much worse, because now they are pissed off - a lot of conspiracy nuts love conspiracies because in their minds, they know The Truth and it's like living in a Hollywood movie for them, like they are in on Major Shit, and the President of the United States is ridiculing them and claiming they are part of a hoax. The other group he doesn't understand is the vloggers/bloggers on the fringe (that have a large following), that are right now considered "right-wing" but again, like the conspiracy nuts, they exist around and outside of MAGA - at the end of the day, they aren't chasing MAGA because MAGA is comfortably watching Fox News. Not that they wouldn't like some viral moments and some shout-outs in the MAGA blogosphere or whatever, but they aren't competing with Fox News, they are competing with each other and with the truly fringe outlets (News Max, etc.). Now among this group, there are True Believers that fall into the first category, and they will act just like the first group above. But there are also pragmatic types that are just making a quick buck off of this group. They could give a shit about Epstein, but Epstein brings in the eyeballs and the advertising bucks. Trump is not doing them any favors whatsoever, so they aren't necessarily going to fall in line (Charlie Kirk being an exception). The pragmatics are chasing the buck and Epstein is going to bring in more than talking about Trump or Trump's other policies/changes. Trump calling these people crazy, weaklings, hoaxers, Democrats, etc. is only going to add fuel to the fire.
  11. Uber driver not letting a passenger sit up front. I took an uber from OC to LA during rush hour. Took two hours. Nuts were squashed
  12. Today
  13. I've always assumed your Eeyore attitude was real, but this makes me think it has to be shtick.
  14. What are we talking here, 1950?
  15. I read somewhere that you can’t get hired onto some police forces if you score too high on the aptitude test. Maybe true?
  16. Just finished this now and what an intense movie. No score, no nonsense, just very to the point. I appreciate how it’s not just Americans killing every one instantly with one shot like many war movies. It’s just all out fire and cover, fire and cover, get the people out who need help, and get the fuck out of there after basically a busted situation all around. Definitely jack up the surround sound, I hope it’s at least recognized for the quality of the sound if nothing else for the awards.
  17. This is exactly right, but the shorter version of an appropriate response is:
  18. dude pirate was 9-4 v. aggy (at tceh + 2 games w/ klan aggy) 69.23% tceh were 28-28-1 v. aggy sans pirate the *only* time i've felt concern about what aggy might or might not do was the morning after 27-25 if aggy had hired pirate instead of rumlin they might have been a contender
  19. I would add don’t sleep on work/intern experience in the area of their major. At least five years ago, that was a big deal. Someone who would know gave me that advice. I had a business acquaintance in their chosen field who was kind enough to let them spend a few weeks working at his business during the summer for no pay. I was at a party and happened to meet the dean of the school they were wanting to admit to. Of course I took the opportunity to mention my kids and they offered to meet with them and have them meet with a professor. It never hurts for people to see how much they want to get in. They even attended a class which also inspired them when it came time to write essays and resumes. My impression was that the colleges will do those meetings for anyone who asks. Even if it played no part in the decision, it did help my kids to focus in on what major they wanted within the college and focus their extra curricular time on meaningful activities. My kids went to a large competitive high school and did ok but definitely not better than top 20%. If you understand how UT does the holistic review you know how you can make up some ground in these other areas. Good luck to all.
  20. In shocking news, some lower round draft picks may not make the team. Especially if they don't do well in the preseason camps. Click here to see who!
