  1. Past hour
  2. As typical with this administration. Identify legit issues but take the most corrupt methods to solving them.

    2025 ACL

    That would be equal parts shitty and stupid. Fences will get torn down. Saw him open for Goth Babe in 2023. Pretty high energy. He seems to like coming back to Austin.
  4. Florida State lost to Virginia which made the game a lot less exciting. Undefeated Vandy going to a resurgent Bama is a going to pull bigger numbers than ACC teams. And frankly fuck FSU fans.
  5. no but the Camp has terrible reviews.
  6. What I have read is that underdogs sell the first couple of rounds. People love the compelling storylines of teams that they don't normally watch. Plus betting pools are filled with people who don't watch hoops and are in it for fun plus the people who think they know the game and are always trying to outthink it. But it eventually dissolves to where they prefer the big names and better teams at the end for good basketball. This year's final four had one of the biggest audiences of all time with 4 1-seeds.
  7. WBT

    2025 Wild Card Series

    I think they're booing Bregman because he ruined Derek Jeter day
  8. Same. Have nc seroconverted but never have tipped a positive test.
  9. Catch the ball, Kyren. Fucking Ks, man.
  10. Gambling and office pools are what make March Madness so successful. Hell, the most popular sport on television in the US by far is the NFL, a league built around the idea of parity. limits spending, and orders draft picks by the worst record to the best. What has made the NFL so popular on TV is not the parity angle, but fantasy football. This convinces me the only future for the Big 12 is partnering with Indian casinos.
  11. In my house we call that “A snuggle with a struggle”.
  12. Never, never, none. Better if you don't stand too close to me! (Seriously, I must have had it by now, but no symptoms that I recall.)
  13. Tore down an old sprinkler that wasn't working. Cleaned it up and added some silicone grease on the moving parts. One of those chick-chick-chick-chick-ch-ch-ch-ch-ch.... Drank a beer as I watched get back out there on the lawn and get to work. A fine moment for both of us.
  14. Another good Vigilante episode, I like how he was the only one the same in both universes.
  15. You obviously have never spent time in the foothill villages of Crystal Lake and Woodstock which are NW of Chicago.
  16. I like all of those ideas. The last sounds legally dubious, as any law requires some sort of objective basis that is not strictly political. Nothing outside of the last part sounds controversial. Banning using race in hiring etc.? Sure, ban racism. If you are opposed to race neutrality, you are a racist. I hate racism. It is illogical, immoral, and illegal according to the supreme court. Freeze tuition? Why not. The goal is to reduce administrative bloat. Grade inflation? We should have full disclosure regarding grades but we don't. I was in some intro 500 person class and the TA wrote 2.7 in big letters on the chalkboard and said "this is the class GPA". Wheat and chaff and all that. There's definitely been grade inflation, the Ivy's championed it mostly so they could get money from rich people. SAT - whatever, it's redundant, because of course you cannot assess potential without a standardized test. Harvard abolished this, realized they were admitting idiots, then reintroduced it. G is a thing. The international student thing is a national security issue. Firstly, they are guests and entitled to no privacy whatsoever. Second, we need to know if a Chinese or Russian national is studying cutting edge nuclear physics, doing advanced AI work, or learning bomb design in an engineering department. There is a serious crisis in higher education. This is an attempt to move things in the right direction, mostly via practical measures.
  17. let’s get a yankee stadium short porch special here.
  18. What’s the score. Was watching the Astros and rangers. [emoji41][emoji56]. Yankee kid can deal.
  19. Sure. If you have an established relationship with the casino it doesn’t hurt to ask about a future comp. They probably offer package deals including game tickets.
  20. This is the joke, “find my keys and we can drive out of here”.
  21. Oh so this is what happens when you burn up your BP like a moron??
