Glad to see that. I hardly ever report posts but MotownHorn was unhinged and it pissed me off.

It was a holdover tradition from the Roman winter solstice festival of Saternalia. When Christianity was manufactured and the Christians came into power they found forcing their new made up religion on the Romans by pure force virtually impossible. So they took all of the existing Roman holidays and just wall papered over them with Christian themed bullshit. That's also where eggs and bunnies come from for Easter as they symbolized rebirth and fertility. In fact, the Easter name was ripped off from the Anglo Saxon celebration "Eostre", and the entire Easter story of resurrection of a deity was blatantly ripped off from the Roman celebration of Hilaria. Which should seem very familiar to Christians: What percentage of people who claim to be Christians even know any of this? Less than 1 percent? Less than one hundredth of 1 percent?

Russia thinks they need all these buffers because they make it harder to get invaded. That's true. You know whet else makes it harder to get invaded? Don't spend >200 years being an asshole to everyone in the World. Be a model citizen and people will seek out your friendship, and not takes steps to protect themselves from your assholishness (NATO).

It will save Russia a lot of trouble if we just use the encryption methods they send to us.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen
SydneyCarton replied to texifornia's topic in 🤫$9.95🤫
I believe the staff has said they want another LB. Hill and Moore being gone after this year is going to leave that room pretty thin. You'll have Lefau and Ty'Anthony Smith, and Bo Barnes as a sophomore and that's about it before freshman arrive. -

this is an excellent and salient example of how the main group people who care about pronous are people using them as outrage bait -

On our internal email, any spam is "quarantined," but you cannot BLOCK senders of quarantined emails. You must release it into your regular email and then block them. That seems dumb as hell to me.

Weird. I wonder who it benefits to fire intelligence officers analyzing foreign influence. AND she fired the NSA’s top cryptologist? Huh. I’m sure it’s nothing

Sub-Educated Cretins: The SEC screenshot mega-thread

I guess I missed where Leach was actively trying to tank us. Was he advocating for Tech by voting against Texas or was he trying to give OU a boost? Serious question. If he was indeed attempting to unfairly sabotage us, then I question what is our board's favorable view with the now dead pirate. -
2026 NFL Draft way too early thread of idiot mock drafts and discussion

Agreed. Ant Hill goes top 10 and there is also zero chance that a DT goes 1 overall ahead of the QBs -
So, we are finally at the inflection point I've been predicting for almost 3 years. Back then, I was involved with some commercial real estate stuff and that market was breaking due to elevated interest rates that moved up much faster and farther than the industry forecasted. However, because commercial real estate loans are multi-year borrowing, most in the industry felt it would be the 2nd half of 2025 when the industry finally started flushing out the bulk of the bad loans. That's been happening for awhile now and probably will reach its peak in the coming months/year. As a result, I really felt the stock market and the economy would hit a rough patch in late 2025. In parallel, we have the AI hype bubble finally starting to get exposed. We've all seen all the ridiculous proclamations that AI would be doing 80% of software coding by this year. That was and is a ridiculous proposition, and is similar to the internet hype that occured during the internet bubble of 2000. This bubble is not as bad as 2000, but things are definitely frothy. A very good company, Databricks, just closed financing at $100B valuation. $100B! Look for this bubble to burst over the next several months/year. In parallel, companies have been doing a good job of generating earnings. We have excessive government spending keeping that gravy train moving. That is a good counter-balance to getting into a recession, but the problem is that it is making the whole financial system even more shaky, including long-term interest rates. However, that trend can go for awhile until some world event somehow breaks the confidence of the markets. The Trump administration is doing everything it can, uninternionally, to destroy the economy in the near-term: tariffs, fewer immigrants for jobs, pissing off allies and trade partners, etc. These stagflation policies need to end up as mostly a bunch of huffing and puffing, rather than actual implementation, or it will drag the economy into a recession. The problem is that its starting to look like the real deal. These elevated prices will hit in the next 12 months, tap out the consumer, and hurt corporate earnings, possibly throwing us into recession. We can't spend our way out of the next recession like in 2020. While the lowering of interest rates will help quite a bit, the government can't just toss trillions at us this time around. That means a slow, methodical recovery that will take 24-36 months. However, I don't see a deep recession, because government spending helps and frankly Trump does have the mindset of trying to juice the economy any way he can, so eventually he will panic over the current government policy missteps and correct them. Finally, September and October are always vulnerable months for many reasons. From an investment standpoint, I'd buckle down and be prepared to hold equity assets for 24-36 months, with corrections of 15-25%. If you have a lot of cash, it's tricky. Intermediate and long-term bonds would be the normal play, but with stagflation still a possibility, it's difficult to make that bet. You could lose 12-18 percent of your principal for years in that scenario. So I'm not quite sure where to invest cash.

I bet it was a constable. I agree, annoying as fuck. Almost as annoying as the flashing brake lights that every other car in this city has these days.

Yep, every once in a while we would see an open bed truck driving around the streets with a bunch of wailing/crying people in back dressed in KKK type robes & hats. A few times a couple dozen “mourners” were packed in the back of big dump trucks. The deceased must’ve been well off contruction types. They raised quite a racket.

Lol. I mean, the ramp up is certainly fun. It helps when everyone here basically sees this as a national title team, the excitement is palpable. -
Omar "oh indeed" goes here. As much as my aggy BIL hated losing to Texas, nothing got him more worked up than Leach dragging his nuts across the 12th Man's face.

I said in the other thread that it’s not up to Timo. NCAA ruled him ineligible, but Texas was working on a protest

Texas really wanted Peter Woods to enter the portal. Also, Anthony Hill at 33 is a fucking joke. -
Just a comment in general, not directed at your post. From "Ice Station Zebra" the dialogue includes a line about German scientists being used by both the US and the Soviet Union. Specifically, a British intelligence officer explains that "the Soviets used cameras made by "our (Soviet) German scientists" and film made by "your (US) German scientists" in their satellite, which was also built by "their (British) German scientists".
