Yep, that's Tyler Rogers. He has a twin brother, Taylor, who was also with the Giants the past two seasons. At one point late last season, they had several identical stats.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

The rise in autism really isn't a "rise." It's just a more accurate representation of how many people are classified as such given increased detection and a broader definition of the spectrum. It would be like blaming the 300% increase in breast cancer cases to some environmental factor when it's not due to that at all. It's due to better early screening methods and routine mammograms that just weren't a thing a generation ago. -
There are some olds in a deep red corner of Iowa who'd strongly disagree.

You had to register in advance for the presale code, and then they texted it 30 minutes before tix went on sale. The codes were all unique - not sure if LiveNation will be the same. I haven't seen any info on that. You could still try getting an artist presale code now.

Just got LCD Soundsystem tix for Emo's on 4/22. And have tix for Japanese Breakfast the next night. That'll be fun. LCD Soundsystem is doing three nights at Emo's. Presale today. General sale is Friday.

Game Week 14, 2024- Texas v Georgia SEC Championship Game

I'd rather have Priest Holmes from that '96 conference champ game. -
Haven't checked in here in awhile. Lots of inspiring triathlon content as of late. Way to get after it everyone! Did the Indianapolis marathon last weekend, and I highly recommend it. The course is comparable to Houston. Finally got a PR again with a 2:45. I had been sitting on my old PR for almost 3 years.

But on the upside, eggs will be fifty cents cheaper.

2024 Presidential Election Thread - Let's keep the party going.

The largest political constituency in Arizona is Independents. They just surpassed registered republicans last year. My brother is one of them, and he loathes trump. There are a lot of sensible mavericks in Arizona which is why McCain was so beloved. -

Or just severely restrict exclusionary zoning or just outright ban it. We've largely manufactured the housing crisis by artificially dampening the supply through outdated land use policies that are exploited primarily by homeowners who don't want homes built near them. -

There are millions of people who can capably make a mortgage payment but can't come up with $25K for the down payment because things like exorbitant rents, child care, and student loan debt eat into any opportunity to save. And they can't hit up their parents or grandparents for the money either because they don't have generational wealth. Do these people just need to save until they're 50 to buy a house? -

Exclusionary zoning is a much bigger culprit for our housing crisis than institutional funds snatching up single-family inventory. -

As Matthew Desmond pointed out in his most recent book "Poverty, by America," on an average per household basis, the mortgage interest deduction is a much larger handout than a housing voucher. But we collectively tend to consider the former a tax break and the latter a handout based purely on the respective demographics they benefit. -
Yeah not even close. 10 top speed is 6:00 flat pace. My home treadmill tops out at 12 (5:00 flat). You need the high end 14-15 max speed treadmills to even replicate their pace.
