  1. That game is why I can enjoy bye weeks. Not thinking about Texas, kick back and watch some occasionally great college football.

    All while watching Deion horrible time management on the split screen.

    On Hwy 87 between Eden and San Angelo, you see the exact spot where the live oak end. Top of the hill, you've got them. At the bottom, there's a small copse and then nothing. It's not so dramatic on I-20, but east of Abilene, you see live oak. West of town, there aren't any.

    Lol, I read this as "small corpse" at first and thought has @bolverk been learning trade craft with @Nicole44

    You know, I have a Croatian friend who always thought eavesdropping was ears dropping...  Don't ask why, I can't explain.   Let me find a pic and I'll share. She is cute

    Hurry up, it's half time. I need some materials quick!

    I think it’s a bold move of Disney and all of the streamers to jack prices right now. I think consumers are very tapped out and it’s not like the quality of their product has gotten any better

    Well, the middle and lower class who are the biggest supporters of sports teams are absolutely flush with cash right now so.. there is that.

    /no.CR couldn't resist the sarcastic response cause fuck Disney and their extortionist ways.

    I'll stop I promise.

    head coaches are meat heads.  how lebby doesn't have a situation ready to slow sub when a team is pulling shit like that is mind blowing.

    Egomaniacal stupidity most of the time I recon.

    Penn State has no chance of making the playoffs.

    Hmm.. yeah, I guess that's where we differ. My support for my team and a desire to get into the playoffs will never supersede my moral disdain for programs like PSU and Baylor enough for me to pull for them. Particularly, when it's exposing what was an absolute pre-season overrated fraud of team with a morally corrupt fan base like PSU.

    You ever been to Evansville? If so you will understand. 

    I've been to nearly every part of Indiana including Bloomington, ya know, where the games are actually played. Its a fun college town and close to Indianapolis which is very underrated.

    PSU is the worst institution in the history of mankind, but I wouldn't mind them winning this football game.

    Why? I'd love to understand your logic of pulling for Penn State over a well coached underdog of a team in IU.  Because they broke the mold, found a good coach and used NIL wisely?

    So, every single person on the face of the earth hates Vegas? That must have  been quite the task to find an organization so vast that it literally spoke to everyone on Planet Earth to ascertain their opinion on the merits of Las Vegas.  

    The diversity of restaurants (non-touristy) is very impressive. As are the shows. If you have not been inside the Sphere, it is definitely worth the experience. Try a restaurant called "Sinatra" inside Encore.  Quite good.

    Desert golf.

    A number of Cirque shows.

    A number of the spas are excellent.

    And for those who gamble (except for single deck blackjack, I don't) there is that too.

    So, you are correct ... if you take away all of the entertainment options and gambling ... it is just like the plastic shitshow built by Jughead.

    I love Vegas. Restaurants (and not just on strip) Spas, shows, helicopter tours of the Strip, Grand Canyon and Hoover Dam, badass airforce jets flying overhead, a lot of cool lesser known sites like Meowolf, Pinball Hall of Fame and Neon  Museum. Shooting guns you can't anywhere else, off roading in 4 wheelers, shopping (window or for real). Last but certainly not least people watching. 

    I "retired" from playing poker, don't otherwise gamble aside from throwing $100-200 occasionally at Paigow, don't drink at all and don't sleep with sex workers. However, I still have an amazing time in Las Vegas.

    I can hit CDC with this on X.  I was busting his ass quite often about baseball (DP) over the last year or two.  I'm no stranger to him.  LOL.

    Play each once a year something like this..

    Air Force there

    Air Force home

    Army there

    Army home

    Navy there

    Navy home 

    then start all over again.

    It's romantic and I get it, but there's no upside from a SOS stand point. Plus CS and Annapolis would be cool once for the novelty, but personally I'd never go back. I'm pretty confident many would feel the same way.

    WW 1.1

    Eh.. I would personally align the tech advances closer to rockets, radar and jet engines of WWII. All of them critical but never a replacement for men with guns. (A-bomb was the biggest tech leap but I'm addressing land acquisitions and those don't work so well in that pursuit) The battlefield will continue to evolve even past what we are now seeing with drones and missles into mechanized artillery/heavy weapons to name just one but those need materials and maintenance to function. The core of war always has been and always will be supply lines and even with technology the capability to run them and keep them running will require humans for the foreseeable future.

    I mean, in this instance, Trump isn't technically wrong. It all depends on who specifically one is referring to when using "Russians" and how one define the word "want". 

    -edit please note sarcasm tags prior to forcing on a maga hat on my head.
