Allow me to highlight the best part of that fucking tome, and the most classic Mike Roach thing in there. See above.21 points

The posters defending Rogan either haven't listened to the interviews with Malone and McCollough or are deliberately misrepresenting their contents. I already clipped a bunch of quotes from the transcript with Malone and don't have the time to do the same with the McCollough transcript, but if you read the transcripts and listen to even clips of the interviews to get Rogan's tone, it is very clear that these interviews aren't just Rogan having some guys with some different opinions based on honest readings of ivermectin studies or whatever. Rogan has done his own research (read up on all the conspiracy theories) and actively encourages these guys to promote Alex Jones level shit. They mix in some caveats to sound like they're just being analytical and they speak in mild-mannered tones, but it's a bullshit facade intended to sell conspiracy nonsense to a wider audience. They argue that the government suppressed evidence of the effectiveness of alternative treatments, they argue that virtually all doctors refused to treat covid patients because they didn't want to get sick themselves, they argue that the entire pandemic was intentionally created by an international conspiracy to force people to get vaccinated, they argue that the vaccines are more dangerous than covid, they promote prominent antivaxxers like RFK Jr., etc. This isn't a case of reasonable differing opinions. These assholes are grifters who are selling pure, unadulterated bullshit and they know it. They're selling it because they have a bunch of personal grievances against the medical establishment and because they're personally invested in alternative covid treatments. They're no better than Andrew Wakefield. In a just world they'd be dropped in vats of acid for what they've done. And Rogan knew their history. He knew what they'd talk about. Hell he probably prepped the interview topics with them beforehand. If you read the transcripts he helps them introduce new bullshit constantly. I don't know if it's because he's a complete moron who honestly buys their bullshit or if he agrees with their project to delegitimize the medical establishment as part of some desire to help sell more fucking brain pills, and I don't really care. All this motherfucker had to do to avoid a big public campaign against him was not promote anti-science conspiracy bullshit that kills thousands of people and helps prolong a pandemic, and he couldn't clear that low bar. Fuck him.20 points

Speaking of I probably shouldn’t share this story but I’m gonna anyway. After a breakfast of some yogurt, a granola bar and some leftover garlic cheese grits, I was playing with my grandson in the garage, letting him fool around in the back of my truck and stuff and I let loose a tremendous fart. It echoed off the metal garage doors and he started crying. Not because of the smell, it was just so loud it scared him. I think he thought he shit his own pants. He finally calmed down a bit, then the smell hit him and he started crying again. That time I knew he meant it because his eyes were watering. I took him back inside and it was all good after that.19 points

From Dan Neil who started 40 something consecutive games: I have lot of [great memories of Ricky.] I'll tell you one that kind of sticks out in my head. I forget who we were playing [Baylor], but we called a screen, and we threw it to Ricky. [Watch a video of the play that Dan Neil is describing.] And so the offensive line, we all run out on the field trying to block guys that are a lot more athletic and faster than we are. I go to block my guy. I miss, so I'm laying on the ground and I watch Ricky make my guy miss -- he makes about 13 other guys miss, some of them twice, and scores a touchdown. We come over to the sideline after the play, and our O-line coach, Coach [Mike] Deal grabs us and he's just livid. And he looks at us and he says, "You better go thank Ricky Williams because you worthless pieces didn't block anybody on that play." And he did it all himself [laughs]. And sure enough, we watched it the next day on film, and we didn't block a soul, and Ricky just ran around or over every guy on that team for a touchdown. And that's how special he was. He was a great player.18 points

What I love is that, objectively, Texas signing a top 5 class after a 5-7 season is every bit as strange as aggy signing #1. But the unspoken truth, despite all the public hatred of our school, is that people understand that the University of Texas is attractive to recruits. Whether it is our football history or the city of Austin or just the general vibe around the program, people understand that recruits may illogically be drawn to the burnt orange. With aggy, there is none of that. Outside of College Station and the few recruiting reporters required to hype shit like this (and fattyflattie, apparently), there's been no attempt at rationalization or understanding. Everyone is just assuming that aggy had to be cheating their asses off because the alternative explanation (18 year-olds being illogically drawn to College Station) is just too unbelievable to even consider.18 points

Cabin fever is real and dangerous. Alaska has an incredibly high suicide rate per capita. Alcoholism and drug abuse and domestic violence all skyrocket in the deep winter. It's not really the cold either. Everyone up here has the proper gear. It's the lack of light that gets in people's heads. The lack of light leads to Vitamin D deficiencies. That's the root cause of it all. Take your supplements, get properly dressed and get outdoors when the sun is out. The deep cold is beautiful to me. Winter is my favorite season. On January weekends when the temp is regularly 30 below or colder we'll get suited up, make a fire in the fire pit, smoke a joint and watch the Northern Lights until we get cold. Go in the cabin to warm up and then do it all over again. The Lights fascinate me.16 points

We have been very, very fortunate. We keep an abundance of food and fuel on hand for the oh shit moment that hasn't come yet. But we are prepared. The closest I've ever come to getting bit in the ass was on a muzzle loader moose hunt with a buddy. Muzzle loader season is late November early December. We went 90 miles out the Rex Trail on snow machines (that's what they call snow mobiles up here for some reason). It was 30 below when we left. By the time we got to the Wood River, the thermometer my buddy had on his parka zipper had bottomed out at 70 below. We knew it was cold, but we didn't realize it was that cold. He looked at me and told me whatever I did to not let the snow machine die. It took us 6 hours to get back. It's the coldest I've ever been. Danger cold, beyond shivering. The only reason my fingers didn't freeze was because of the hot grips on the snow machine. When we finally got in cell range I called my wife and she said she could hear it in my voice. She had warmed blankets and towels ready for me when I got home. It was 68 below when I pulled up to the cabin. The last few hours of the ride home are basically a blur. It was all I could do not to pass out. I was on the verge of hallucinating. It was other worldly. My buddy thought he froze his feet. It took him 4 hours to get the feeling back in them. We were both very lucky and very stupid for not turning around sooner.16 points

Today I get a phone call at work, from the wife. She is whispering and sounds a bit nervous... Wife: Did you just get home? Me: No, I'm at work. Wife: The alarm chime just went off on the door, someone is in the house. Me: Which door? (frantically pulling up my security cam footage) Wife: I don't know, I'm hiding in my closet. Me: I just checked every entrance, the cameras don't show anyone coming or going. Wife: Oh, nevermind....it was my Roomba.14 points

Pushing vaccines that haven't shown expected antibody response, at least for part of the under-5 YO age group, is a really bad move. The "how can it hurt?" model has been scorned, and rightfully so, for alternative treatments like HCQ, Ivermectin, etc. What's the difference? Politics should not be informing public health policy.13 points

After posting some in the non-Texas Winter weather thread, I had some requests to start my own thread about my life in Alaska. The backstory...My wife and I have lived completely off the grid in the Central Interior region of Alaska for going on 12 years now. It's the lifestyle we prefer, it's not out of necessity. We live in a 400 square foot one room log cabin in the woods, no electricity or indoor plumbing. We provide for ourselves as much as we can off the land by hunting, fishing, and gardening. We moved from Texas to chase my Grandfather's dream of living here. It was the best decision we ever made. I'm happy to answer questions.12 points

I get your opposition to grandstanding, but I think it'd actually be much better if they grandstanded the entire time. When the GOP takes the House and opens an investigation into Hunter Biden, you can bet your ass they'll never shut the fuck up about it and it will be politically effective. They showed the fucking blueprint with their eight Benghazi investigations. There's no good political reason an actually legitimate investigation into the opposition party planning a coup should be kept so fucking quiet.12 points

I'm feeling very, very fucking happy that Mario Cristobol decided to go to Miami and allow us to get back in on Banks and Williams, which is why I said things were sub-optimal. And at the time, things were sub-optimal. But of course, shit changes. Which is why scrolling through hundreds of pages with the benefit of hindsight to say "I told you so" is a tired-ass bit.11 points

To me, the wildest part of the whole story is that it really feels like literally everybody - aggy fans, secrant posters, CFB fans on Twitter, even the fucking media - except for the people on this board somehow think that NIL and bags are the same thing. Like, what the fuck? That is not a difficult concept, at all.11 points

Let's go through all of this I guess. His critical thinking skills are effectively non-existent. He is an intellectual sponge that soaks up the opinions of whoever he thinks is the smartest person in the room. He's a comedian, yes. A mediocre one. He's a mixed-martial artist, yes, and a pretty good commentator on MMA fights. He's a health nut with HGH gut that takes all kinds of homeopathic "medicine" ("supplements" if you want to be kind, I guess) and looks like a ninja turtle. He certainly is a commentator and a long-form conversationalist, of sorts. Yes, he is a moron. By his own admission, hundreds of times. See my first bullet point. I don't hate Joe Rogan, at least the "old" Joe Rogan, even though he has certainly held some problematic opinions in the past and present. I have watched probably in the triple digits of his podcasts. He was always toeing the anti-intellectual line, though pre-Spotify he was much more open to being a sounding board to actual intellectuals with regard to anything and everything that held his interest, and I never saw him turn into a dumbass debatelord in any of those conversations. Post-Spotify, he has taken a steep dive into the deep end of anti-intellectualism, is almost entirely closed off to having anyone on that will serve an opposing opinion on his COVID stance. The few that he has had on, he has tried to debate and embarrass them instead of having an actual conversation. For example, Sanjay Gupta, or even his friend Rhonda Patrick, who was desperately trying to explain to him how wrong he was, and he was just entirely closed off. The whole thing circles back to my first bullet, because he is extremely susceptible to people that very much sound like they know what they're talking about, but are actually feeding him bullshit, hence why he likes people like Dr. Robert Malone and Ben Shapiro so much. Both are very good at shilling bullshit and making it sound intelligent and convincing.10 points

Stuff to think about for this cycle at this early-ish stage. : 1) People who know their shit on the recruiting front do not like the outlook for Texas with the 2023 class. I mean, UT is starting from way, way behind in a lot of spots. 2) It's a down year in the state of Texas overall. 3) Texas shat itself and then rolled around in it on the field in the most critical year for this group of recruits. 4) ATM's cadre of money men and coaches decided over a year ago that they were going to make the push to win a national title, hell or waters high. That push will continue for two more cycles and only NIL may interrupt that, barring something otherwise surfacing in a Hugh Freeze-esque manner. Here's what could stem the circumstances: A) Bringing the full brunt of the UT alumni base and corporate base to bear on the NIL front. I mean setting a $50k floor for every position and then pressing down fucking hard with bigger bets for the premium roles and positions. B) Arch Manning. C) 9-4 or better on the field. This won't hurt, but don't kid yourself regarding the limits of its impact unless Texas wins the conference makes the CFP (LOL).10 points

If anyone in this city is without power due to rolling blackouts for even one hour, every single person in our state government should be fired. If ice knocks down a tree limb onto a power line, that can't be helped. But after the national embarrassment last year, which killed several Texans, if we still don't have the capacity to handle 24 hours of freezing weather, I don't even know what to say anymore except fuck these people and their profiteering.10 points

Soak a pound of beans overnight. Sauté a bell pepper, an onion, several stalks of celery, a bunch of garlic. Add the beans, a ham hock, and about a pound of sausage, and a bay leaf, cover with water. Simmer for 3-4 hours or so till done and thickened. Take out the hock, pull the meat off of it and put that back in the pot. Add a little bit of Cajun seasoning if you want. Serve over rice with some diced green onion and many splashes of Crystal. One of my favorite things in the world.9 points
