  1. Reading between the lines, kinda seems like that's on purpose. I think they're afraid to appoint someone who would be Pope for like 30 years.
  2. NYT listed our dude Pizzaballa, Parolin, Erdo, Tagle, Fridolin Ambongo of Congo, Matteo Zuppi of Italy, and Anders Arborelius of Sweden as contenders. No mention of Ouellet or Scola.
  3. If SPY breaks 500 again, then so help me God I'm going to YOLO all my cash into broad-market equity index funds like the sensible and dutiful middle-aged Gen X'er that I am. Probably a lot of people in the same boat. What else are we going to do? Hookers and blow? I'm too old for that shit.
  4. I just counted up Wikipedia's list. Here's who appointed the 135 Cardinals eligible to vote. It says the rules say only 120 can participate in the conclave, not sure how they make the cut. Francis = 108 Benedict = 22 JP2 = 5
  5. According to Wikipedia, cardinals have to be under 80 to vote for the next guy. Only 135 of 252 meet that requirement (54%). That's kinda nuts to me.
  6. I love the Czarface albums. Especially the ones with Doom. It's 100% "dad rap", but...I'm a dad.
  7. Recteq just came out with a pellet smoker that can somehow also go all the way up to 1250 for traditional high heat grilling. I've been thinking about getting one and getting rid of my Weber gas grill. I only have room for 1 grill/smoker/etc in my outdoor space.
  8. That Mack plant is in PA-7, which flipped from Biden to Trump in 2024.
  9. Yeah "Pulisic isn't a vocal leader and not really a captain-type" doesn't seem like much of a hot take at all. Best player, sure. Nobody is disputing that (except maybe some Jedi stans). Adams should and does wear the armband whenever he's on the field.
  10. I've been hoping that the contact with the Texas State guy is cover for some eventual tampering. "See, we've been looking everywhere for a kicker!". Honestly the TXST guy doesn't seem like anything to get worked up about.
  11. Noooo oneee drinks like Gaston. Stops and thinks like Gaston. Blows off his own head with hijinks like Gaston. RIP
  12. How do Endries and the guy that was at Wisconsin for 5 minutes compare?
  13. Username checks out. You been saving that one?
  14. I've compiled the complete list of players that Hill, Simmons, and Taaffe said are looking good so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TzoBTIvCXfZIk7Sz3C9txMg0yPvrXyVM/edit?gid=1658728281#gid=1658728281
  15. JPow gonna get himself fired.
  16. Here's Dane Brugler's write up on him. The TL;DR is that he's viewed as both a 1st round-worthy CB AND WR. Whatever you get from him on the other side of the ball (probably not a ton other than emergency situations, as you point out) is just a bonus.
  17. Dane Brugler did a full 7 round mock draft, which is a ridiculous exercise, but so is all of this, so whatever. Here's where he has our guys: 12. Matthew Golden (Dallas) 24. Jahdae Barron (Minnesota) 27. Kelvin Banks (Baltimore) 66. Alfred Collins (Kansas City) 82. Quinn Ewers (Seattle) 88. Gunnar Helm (Jacksonville) 116. Vernon Broughton (Miami) 124. Barryn Sorrell (Green Bay) 141. Cam Williams (Tennessee) 145. Andrew Mukuba (NY Jets) 187. Jaydon Blue (Minnesota) 239. Hayden Conner (Dallas)
  18. I don’t know if you’re referring to something specific about the 4Runner, but Toyota in general has the hybrid drivetrain down to an exact science. If you can believe it, Consumer Reports rates them as more long-term reliable than ICE engines alone or EVs.
  19. Yep, GM popped like 4% in a matter of minutes. Ford 2+%. Crazy looking charts for today.
  20. No Cloak but seems like high profile executives at least will need to be very careful with their words, lest they invite retribution.
  21. So market-wise are we good now, barring any more random announcements/tweets?
  22. Do you think Krempin is a take right now, or just a guy they're keeping warm?
  23. Three quarters of the country, including all of its under 18s, spending most of their day with their brain plugged directly into a CCP propaganda app is an interesting wrinkle to all this that I hadn’t considered. Trump should’ve waited until after he seized it and handed it to one of his buddies to do the tariffs. That would’ve required the bare minimum amount of strategizing though.
  24. I’m sure Joc Pederson is a cool guy and all but damn. He may need some time in AAA to work shit out.
