  1. Past hour
  2. How could they leave out his Garfield experience? That might be his best qualification.
  3. I want Sark to zone in on Prothro just to push their meltdown down to nuclear levels.
  4. So, I don't see any mention of the news over the weekend that ~250 Venezuelans were release from CECOT and returned to Venezuela. The Trump admin is apparently claiming that this was El Salvador's deal, and the US wasn't involved. At the same time, the US is claiming that Venezuela has agreed to send any of these back to the US if necessary/requested. And lawyers are already asking to bring them back again
  5. Thinking about adding one of these for my 5wt rod. I'm not 100% sure I like the styling, but you can't get the Ross Animas with the Coors logo anymore. It's only the Cimarron now. What do you think? It's heavy, too. 5.8 oz for the 4/5 wt reel.
  6. Ok. Sure. We need historical accuracy in sports. I mean, who doesn’t visit Utah for their amazing jazz. Give me a break.
  7. That's generally where I land. My biggest beef with Talarico's rhetoric so often is that he will present his preferred policy as THE Christian policy. Which takes me back to the "compel" language... As a Christian, my response to the Gospel and Jesus' teaching is just that... my response. I find it very UN-Christian to force my response on other people. I cannot in good conscience compel my neighbor to give money out of his own pocket to provide for other people. If they are moved to that response by their own conviction, I fully support them and am happy with that result. Now... as a citizen of the United States of America and a party to that social contract, I have no qualms about voting to compel behaviors that I believe are for the good of this society. That's a different arrangement altogether, but I'm not going to use my Christianity as a cudgel against others in either direction.
  8. Who is Elvis? Slorch or GRU or DonkeyCigars?
  9. WNBA all star game highlights. https://youtube.com/shorts/-FtVprfqsOA?si=n9bB4fNMFvyQvYQ4
  10. I foresee a time where the University has become so MAGA that I won’t be able to justify ticket costs, LFD donations etc. I’ll still watch on tv but I’ll feel better about where my dollars are going.
  11. Whoa, you're back. Awesome!
  12. lot of weak sauce. His departure prompted the appointment of Zerwas, then the system’s executive vice chancellor for health affairs, to take over the role. Zerwas, who is a doctor, represented Fort Bend County in the Texas House of Representatives from 2007 to 2019. He spent part of that time as chair of the House Higher Education Committee.
  13. So Memphis offered $250M to the B12 to play and we said no? I'd have been down to let them in since we're the new WAC anyway.
  14. We're offended that you're not offended.
  15. Davis, who previously worked for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton and has no prior teaching experience, has been an active interim president, consulting with the UT System’s board of regents on the recent hiring of a provost. He selected William Inboden for the role, who is the director of the GOP-backed civics center at the University of Florida.
  16. howe was pretty fired up here. Worth the listen.
  17. White guy just can’t see it. What a surprise.
  18. Sure, blame it on the chain. We all know MRI's are really portals to hell and they suck your soul from your body. They just use the medical stuff as a coverup. I have to take valium for 2 days before I can do an MRI. I hate them.
  19. Jim Davis, the Garfield guy? I hate Mondays.
  20. But that was different.
  21. I do hope the players get a better CBA and it is awesome that the league is growing and attracting more eyeballs. My point here is simply that the “same percentage of revenue as the men” sounds reasonable until you pause and realize that the expenses don’t operate on that same sliding scale. Charter jets cost the same no matter who is on them and $25 million per year is 1/8th of the new annual TV payout for the WNBA. The NBA’s TV deal is 7 billion per year. I guarantee that the NBA aviation budget is not $875,000,000. I could bet it’s less than a quarter of that number. The other WNBA employees are needed and their costs don’t dramatically change. And so much of the other demands are wrapped up in spending the money it takes to be a “real” pro league. The team doc, trainers, marketers, support staff can command close to the same amount no matter who they are working for. Venue fees and all that go into that don’t slide on a scale either. They aren’t as much as an NBA game, but you’re still paying to open the arena, run crowd control, etc. The delta between NBA and WNBA non-player and staff expenses per game isn’t pro-rated in line with the revenue difference. They absolutely deserve a raise, I’m just pointing out that pushing it even to something like 30 percent of revenue likely means total league collapse.
