    Super Bowl LIII

    This looks like a typical NFL season game where nothing happens till the 4th quarter

    Yes!!
  5. I think they sold exclusively in US last quarter to maximize the number of buyers eligible for full federal tax credit. This quarter, they are supposed to sell in Europe. But overall, slowing down is to be expected because I don't think there is such a high sustained rate of customers for ~50k electric car. The last quarter's rate for the whole year would be close to Camrys and Accords, whereas Model 3 is electric and nearly twice as costly. Which means Tesla has to make a car that is 30k base to sell 300k+/year, or be content being an upscale car supplier. They still have high growth left in Model Y and pickup, but nowhere close to Toyota and Ford level volume.
  6. It's easy, just go against what he said during campaign. He promised "law and order" (code for no immigration), "radical Islamic terrorism" (code for no Muslims in US and kill them outside US), "beautiful coal" (code for jobs for uneducated), and "Merry Christmas" (code for owning the liberals). All other activities, from tax breaks to Iran deal, are others getting their agenda taken care of. He is doing well according to him, though he doesn't know how incompetent he is in getting his stuff done. By fighting for wall, loosening the criteria for drone attacks and implementing Muslim ban, removing regulations, and praising MAGA hat wearing/torch wielding people, he thinks he doing an A+ job. And his followers love it. They clearly see how faithful he is to his promises and any lack of success is purely due to the amount of obstacles from fake media, Democrats, and liberal deep state. Form their point of view, the issue is crystal clear. The only way Trump will lose his followers is if he abandons the promises he campaigned on (and not silly fantasies like turning democrat).
  7. The portal system looks like the admission process of some universities where the freshman year is treated as another chance to improve your chances to get in the major you want. If your GPA is good and you took the math/physics classes, you can jump from, say, psychology major to electrical engineering major. Some universities go to more extreme and admit freshmen without offering them any major at all. They have to compete against their colleagues to get the major they want. This increases uncertainty for the students a lot because they may be set to get into computer science, but even after two years and having failed to leapfrog their colleagues, resort to transferring to sister universities (UT to UTD, say) to get into their desired major. What this means is that an athlete set to be QB but not offered as one, may go to G5 to show that (i) he can play QB and transfer to P5 as QB, or (ii) fail as QB and try to join as DB/WR to P5 for which he was originally recruited by P5. In other words, for both universities and athletes, the admissions is not a once in four year thing, but a yearly review process with two likely movements in a four year span, similar to a student jumping to a major they want after sophomore year or jumping from ACC to UT after freshman year.
  8. Man, Trump is so selfishly oblivious. Doesn't he have an any inkling about how cheap this looks? He went with the minimum because he is paying for it? Where is the concept of honoring the guest? If I invite even the most poor of my friends to my home and offered fast food, they will refuse to eat. Heck, the food we distribute to homeless in SFO/Oakland is much better than this crap.
  9. But don't you think a Californian being able to talk about another hybrid thingy is worth it?
  10. I am about to buy this water heater (hybrid water heaters!), which has a $300 rebate from PG&E. I hope the rebate is still on. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Rheem-Performance-Platinum-50-gal-10-Year-Hybrid-High-Efficiency-Smart-Tank-Electric-Water-Heater-XE50T10HD50U1/303419574
  11. Maybe more impressive than Lawrence is his OL
  12. The pocket is too clean.
  13. yes. Is this OU vs OSU (red vs orange) game?
  14. I am watching the datacenter broadcast and Sean McDonough is much better.
  15. Wasn't Vince supposed to be there for the coin toss?
  16. I think the TD will stand
  17. Yes, LJH's running style (look at the 10+ yards after knocking the LB back) reminds me of Ricky lot more than Roy. The same strong man run (wide and choppy feet rather than long strides), lowering shoulder to knock people and shoulder shake to shrug them off. In a WR role with good hands and single tackler to beat, LJH does what Ricky would do to a single tackler, guaranteed yards after contact until the tackler's teammates get around to him.
  18. if he had thrown to the outside, the WR could have dived for first
  19. that was a GG type bullet from 5 yards
  20. that was a rag doll type pull down
  21. Also, he was just hanging around in defender’s way during that long run. I was surprised a defender didn’t drill him.
  22. I jog during lunch time at work along a trail behind my office, which takes me close to the stadium. It is perfect running weather right now (sunny, 60F). Maybe I should mosey over.
  23. They are leaving those DBs out by themselves with no help on top. They are daring ND to throw and ND did that drive.
  24. they didn't even review it?
  25. Alabama has just too much talent at every position.
