  1. Problem is that the third party candidates are going to fuck Biden ala Nader fucking Gore. These dummies refusing to vote for Biden like Trump would do anything different with Israel and Hamas.
  2. Thanks everyone! Just pulled the trigger on a RT 590! Now I have to decide what my first cook will be!
  3. Two more questions regarding the 590. Did ya'll purchase the sear plates? Can you do a full chicken upright? Thinking of doing beer can chickens, and want to make sure there is enough clearance. Thanks!
  4. Trying to decide between the RecTeq 590, Traeger Pro 575. Traeger is on sale, so it's $200 cheaper. How much shittier is the build quality on the Traegers? Is it worth the $200 difference?
  5. Pretty good interview with Masih Alinejad.
  6. It’s probably more like the normal police/army have daughters and wives too. Also the cost of basic necessities has gotten so high that nobody can afford to live. The only people who can are those directly profiting from the regime (i.e. IRGC leadership) and the true believers (basij).
  7. In the TED talk he stated he'd like to partner with existing shareholders if he can. I'm not a securities lawyer, so no idea if that is possible under the Act. But from an M&A perspective, he can. He certainly believes he has the funds to pay it. But he also thought he could take Tesla private too. So who the fuck knows.
  8. Listening to the TED talk now. He stated he gives 0 fucks about the economics. He thinks opening it up will make society better. I don't know if that's the truth or not, just what he said.
  9. What kind of fine is he looking at for the late securities filings disclosing his Twitter purchases? I assume there will be lawsuits.
  10. Nah, he will just borrow against the stock with his Tesla shares and Twitter shares as collateral. Big issue will be that he has to make Twitter profitable so he can repay the debt.
  11. This dude looks like the knockoff sister fucker version of prince.
  12. If Bowlsby was smart, he’d go after Pac 12 teams and offer them additional revenue share to defect. Instead of being the conference that implodes, he could cause the PAC to die in a fire. But he’s not smart. Take UT/OU money and give it to USC/Oregon/AU/ASU to come.
  13. This assumes Bowlsby is competent.
  14. Texas/OU are moving because a new TV deal is going to be hot garbage for the Big 12. There were rumors they asked ESPN/Fox for a new deal last summer, and they told them to fuck off. The reports of a 75% loss in value are absolutely true. Nobody gives a fuck about the Big12 unless Texas or OU is playing. The fact that it ended up being the SEC is probably more OU than Texas. I don't think Texas gives a shit (they could do either), but OU's lack of AAU status probably forced them to the SEC. They had to be sure they had a landing spot, and not a repeat of prior realignment attempts. Worst thing would be to focus on B1G then get shut down, and SEC say no because they don't want to be the second choice. Both teams have negotiated with the SEC/B1G/Pac10 before. They know what the offers would look like. Timing was also chosen by the parties because there's no way for the Leg to interfere, especially since Abbott is governor. The focus is on the voter bill, not on college football. The leak by Aggie was probably expected. We will be in the SEC in 2022. Big12 is dead. Texas and OU media rights are not around in 2025 for the new deal, and no big fish is going to want to save this sinking ship. They'll be lucky if any games are shown on Fox Sports SW after 2025. And adding a bunch of shit teams is not going to improve the media deal. Any remaining Big12 teams will get shit timeslots on shit channels, and a huge reduction in payout. No penalty money Texas or OU pay them will make up for it. Those with any value will bail ASAP. That's the end of the conference. I don't second guess the past decisions because the landscape has changed so much. This is the right time to make the move, and I like that we are being proactive as fuck. Now we need to get our NIL shit together. My guess is we end up with 4 power conferences of 16 teams when all is said and done. Where it goes from there depends on what the media landscape looks like in 10 years. I can see a NFL light scenario for Football in 10 years. But that assumes that the current media trend continues. Things have changed so much since 2010 and even 2000. Hard to say. But I do think the SEC is the best spot to be in to navigate those waters in the future.
  15. RIP Jake. Prayers to Sam and the family, and to the all of Jake’s teammates past and present.
  16. It's probably some rando conspiracy theorist nut. Or a Psy-Op from a foreign government. If it's the latter, I hope whomever ran it got a promotion and medal. Pretty brilliant campaign tbh.
  17. They’re probably at Michael’s International aka Chicas Locas
  18. Our duct taped together secondary pulls off an end zone pick and we can’t even get a field goal. I can forgive not spying Hurts so that our broken secondary has LB support, but this offense is a fucking joke.
  19. Defense is depleted with injuries. Hold on to your pants boys. This one is gonna be a two bottle game.
