    If Bill Burr was still drinking, he definitely would have leaked what episode he makes an appearance in.

    It’s long been assumed that Moff Gideon played by Gus Fring is the big bad. Gus has appeared in promotional materials for Episode 7, so we’ll see him at the latest by then. It is a curious move to introduce the primary antagonist this late in any show. Especially a new show. 

    Moffs are the Imperial equivalent of a 5 star general. There were only 20 of them in the entire galaxy at the height of the Empire. Needless to say, Gideon should be a pretty accomplished bad ass. 

    So was grand moff a rank above moff?  Was tarkin the only one?

    One thing that has stood out to me is that Dr. M seems resigned to his fate. No urgency at all to save himself from the 7K. He only intervenes to save Angela. 

    It’s been pointed out on podcasts that Dr. M constantly feels the pain and fear of his creation. He also feels all of his emotions, all the time, all at once. This doesn’t seem like a very enjoyable existence. Maybe he wants to die? 

    Fogdancer is about a super solider that constantly feels regret and sorrow about his actions during the Vietnam War. It’s thesis:  the only escape is death.

    Also one more small thing, I didn’t see a man behind the canon immediately before or after it captured Dr. M. Maybe it was locked on to him and set to fire automatically? 

    But as Angela points out, why would he have fear since he knows what happens from the time of his accident until his destruction, minus the decade as cal. And normally I’d say the missing decade would be filled in by learning of things afterward, but it seems so far that his destruction might be right after he “wakes up,” in which case he probably knows very little about the last 10 years of his life.

    Tom Herman has aspergers.

    prove me wrong.

    The DSM-5 states, “Individuals with a well-established DSM-IV diagnoses of autistic disorder, Asperger’s disorder or pervasive developmental disorder not otherwise specified should be given the diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder.”

    aspergers is no longer a clinical diagnosis. Consider yourself proven wrong. 
    have a blessed day.

    It has been about 4 days since the match, and because neither the Big 12 or the NCAA has publicly addressed it, I’m thinking the VolleyTalk “NCAA is bringing the hammer down on Texas” is hopefully (probably?) wrong. Texas was probably advised to CYA and self report a possible rule violation, and the NCAA has likely privately addressed it with Texas and maybe clarified the rule with the remaining 16 teams.

    It is obviously not the same situation/sport, but if a Baylor football coach dressed as a Tulsa coach on the sideline against Oklahoma-a clear violation of the rules- only gets a Big 12 public reprimand and suspension for half a game, then hopefully there is not a severe penalty in this case. (lol at VolleyTalk thinking we should have to forfeit games/sets/matches)

    Yes let’s hope the ncaa only suspends khat for a half

    That doesn't work.  What does work?  For me, selectivity in getting Christmas decorations down from the attic.  Started with one of the boxes getting a red X, now there are probably 5.  

    The flaw in your plan is when you only bring some of the shit out, she believes she does not have enough shit and proceeds to buy more shit. 
    And so the unused pile grows each year. 
     

    unless this is a long con to build up a massive Xmas decoration surplus, then one season bring it all out and watch her confusion as she tries to fit it all around the house.  If that’s the case then I salute you.

    Since they left the 4 teams are a combined 229-203, while they were 245-188 during the same time spans to end their Big 12 runs. Only aggy has improved their record, and that's mainly due to their shitty scheduling and having South Carolina as their permanent cross over game.

    What’s their combined and individual conference record?  Since we are talking about conferences and not how often you can get lamar on your schedule.

    Yeah, I've seen that chart before and agree.  I have no idea why it uses Top 4 in the other sports, but Top 2 in baseball.  It's odd and misleading.

    If the graphic creator wants to eliminate the polls from baseball, then it should say NO Top 4 in football, and NO Final Four in Basketball or Baseball.  Simple fix.

     

     

    Maybe to get some more teams in the left column and only aggy and nw on the right. How many teams are only on the left because they got to the cws semifinals?
