    I am pro-Ukraine (and pro-Israel) and anti-Russia (and anti-Hamas), so your personal attacks don't offend me. Before just cutting checks every session, why not go after your "allies" like India who are funding Russia by buying their gasoline, spitting in the face of the West?

    What the message I hear by people reflexively freaking out about trying to put some guard rails around the spending on a very inefficient war with a very improbable positive outcome (Ukraine wins, because again I'm a Ukraine guy), is that you guys are okay with just a blank check indefinitely for a war that will eventually end at a stalemate or loss? @Dahobbs is right, Russia isn't going to lose, no matter how much aid is wasted. And it will be wasted, just like the Ukrainian lives.

    Or you can just dismiss any stance that is anything other than "give billions of dollars for the life of the war" as being a commie or secret russia lover, but it seems to me that a reasonable conversation can and should be had around America (and ultimately the American people-- you and I) responsibility and financial commitment. AND Europe's responsibility and financial commitment as direct neighbors.

    Ah, so you're a Whatabouter.

     

    I think funding Ukraine is the right thing to do so I support it.  Despite your words, you don't.

    This is ridiculous. Third straight year this has happened with Stone, right? Vegas was able to add several players they wouldn't normally have been able to due to Stone's nearly $10M cap hit, I believe.

    Correct.  And the Stars now have to face them in the first round, which is bullshit.  Vegas is a 1-3 seed when healthy.  I'm no Stars fan, but I hate this shit.  It's blatant manipulation of the rules.  You just need an owner that is OK spending the extra money and you can do it every year.

    Apparently checo out at Red Bull, no idea how true that is??

     

    prolly click bait 

    With Sainz off the board, I don't know who they would put in that seat.  Yuki's head would explode racing as Max's #2 and Danny just looks done.  Not gonna give it to Lawson.  Albon has said he doesn't want it.  Bottas to RB?

    In other news, Stone is back practicing for the Astros of the NHL no doubt magically ready to play right at puck drop of game 1 and not a minute before.   

    This is the shocker of all shockers.  NHL needs to do something about the LTIR stuff.  Like allowing it to happen, but the player you replace is done for the year, including playoffs.  Too many teams (Vegas, Tampa) take advantage to a ridiculous degree.

    Because Antonelli’s nowhere near ready, and having him be absolutely murdered by his teammate probably won’t be all that helpful for his development. Leclerc had one of the best rookie seasons in recent memory, scoring 39 points in the 2nd or 3rd slowest car. He won F3 and F2 going into F1 and it took him about 2/3 of the season to adjust. He scored 13 points in 14 races, and then scored 26 points over his final 7 races. 
     

    If you put Antonelli in a Merc and he takes that long or likely longer to adjust, then he could be losing to George by over 100-150 points and things could be pretty rough for him. 

    Yeah, just because Max could handle F1 at age 17-18 doesn't mean others can.

    I heard his purées were to die for. 
     

    No spoiler cuz all should be watching, but If you ain’t watching LCK you’re missing Soo much of the competition. Will be hilarious to watch reaction if Soo does make it out and comes waltzing into the room.  Everybody be like, who the fuck is this guy?

    So how did someone not on the show get on LCK?

    Nice. Not surprised. Wrapped up at least through 2026 and has committed to a role with the team after he stops racing. This is where I've been thinking he'd end up. There's not much allure for him at Merc at the moment, and I don't think a RBR seat will open up. Add in the team culture and the way the team and Alonso get along, all the infrastructure and engineering talent investment Stroll's been making, plus Honda coming onboard (even though a lot of people said Honda would force Alonso out) and there's a lot of potential there.

    'He can never drive for McLaren again!' ---> drives for McLaren again.

    'He can never drive a Mercedes-powered car again!' ---> drives a Mercedes-powered car again.

    'He can never drive a Honda-powered car again!' ---> extends to drive a Honda-powered car again.

    I wanted to see him at RB so bad.  Would probably be detrimental to their team, but would have been fun as hell to watch!

    Dallas has the 2nd best player, and the best 2nd best player. The same might be true about the Clippers instead though. Combine that with the testy history between the squads and should be a great rd1 matchup

    I'm not sad to see the Clippers and Mavs matched up in the playoffs.  Both have been really hot since the ASB.

  9. Yea ok Christian Braun

    GGs nuggets fans. Barring some miracle they’ll be the 1.

    Still a shit ton of sorting out to do.
    Nuggs have no margin for error. They lose the tiebreaker to both Minn and OKC.

    Kind of a big game between wolves & nuggets tonight. West will probably be settled ?

    Tony Brothers on duty tonight.  Does he T Jokic up at some point and possibly toss him from the game?  We'll see.

    Yeah, farmers and ranchers sure don't mind their subsidies.

    was it Big12Warzone? 🤔 i was there either before shaggy existed, or i just hadn't found shaggy yet. it was def small and obscure, and i remember several of those names, i don't think i've ever seen any iteration of them on shaggy or surly. it was dominated by Texas fans but there were quite a few from other B12 schools. and it was rough. i think that's honestly why i have such a thick skin here, even as a female, kind of a baptized by fire thing lol

    That board was just hot garbage.  It was bad.

  13. Hook, Line and Sitka.  My first choice was Sea Roamer Charters because they have a really good rep, but they were booked up for all of 2024 already.  They recommended Hook, Line and Sitka so I went with them because I figured anyone they sent me to would be good.
    Not likely to catch many Kings in August, but the Cohos will be there in force. Kings are more June and early July time frame.
  14. Just found this thread, the stories of Surly .01% ers getting stuck on cruises with the poors because of (insert excuse here) are fucking hilarious. "Never again shall i be in the presence of the unwashed masses... blah blah blah."
    Get over yourselves Winthorp. Reminds me that I stopped going to my class reunions because there was nothing but old people there... 
    You sound like you enjoy Carnival cruises out of Galveston.
