  1. Past hour
  2. Just make sure to yank their security card and stapler.
  3. Just one more data point for the Bathsheba Syndrome. Every single CFB Head Coach should be required to read this article and teach a class on it for his entire staff: The Bathsheba Syndrome
  4. You just stop paying them and move them to the basement.
  5. *EL idioma Because words that derive from Greek and end in "ma" are masculine. El programa, el idioma, etc.
  6. Trump launches $1m 'gold card' immigration visas President Donald Trump has launched a scheme offering fast-tracked US visas to wealthy foreigners who can pay at least $1m (£750,000). The card will give buyers a "direct path to Citizenship for all qualified and vetted people. SO EXCITING! Our Great American Companies can finally keep their invaluable Talent," Trump said on social media on Wednesday. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cj4q1lddj8go
  7. Somebody on NPR this morning discussed this "accessibility" issue of font changes. But I think independent of that, for a long time many courts have mandated that pleadings and other filings conform to a certain font that is not Times New Roman, because almost everyone is reading electronic documents these days, and those other fonts are much easier to read on a screen.
  8. I'm fairly certain my first CD's were via Columbia House.
  9. Honestly - I just want more healthy fun and discussion. Really seemed like this place was depressing for a while. It's a lot better when it's fun like this.
  10. That is fucking hysterical. Let me do a quick list of issues with that approach (without having access to the article): - Cooling. Yeah, space is cold, but it is also vacuum insulated. The only way you lose heat is through radiation, so you would need massive heat sink panels and a cooling system that routed the heat from the servers to those heat syncs. I'd love to see the calculation on a 1 GW data center, but I am guessing acres and acres of heat sinks. - Maintenance. You'd need to have permanent staff to maintain the data center. Ok, maybe that could reduced through robots, but sooner or later you are going to need a human to do something. -Energy. Similar to the cooling issue, you need bring in energy. Solar panels are the obvious solution, but a shit ton of solar panels. (I think the solar panels would be smaller than the heat sinks, as you are exchanging heat with the sun. (5000K to ~300K for energy incoming vs. ~300K to ~0K for energy discharge.) - Material transfers. Computer parts wear out. Constantly and with significant mass for a large data center. You'd need to be launching computer parts regularly just to replace drives.
  11. Orlando vs Ann Arbor in late December. Hmmmmm
  12. I don't doubt it.. but it's not that pure CFB experience that really sells a bowl. How many Michigan fans travel for this?
  13. It has potential, but outside of McDonald there is nobody that is proven. Safety was a disaster when the 2nd string came in most of the year. Littleton played well for freshmen, but he was not a threat to make an All-SEC team. Loved what I saw out of Phillips and Black late in the year, but hard to know how that looks next year over 12-14 games. Extremely young next year, so any prediction about the secondary being a top unit in the SEC will come with a lot of projection. Can they all play near their ceilings next year? Sure. Is that likely? Probably not. I think Safety needs another adult in the room and at least 2 if McDonald leaves.
  14. It helps literally everyone who reads stuff off a screen. If they really want the typefaces to set the tone for this administration, they may want to consider Wingdings.

    Thought it was about our guy on here, wafflebox
  16. I think being blown away the first time you heard Boston is pretty typical. I know I was.
