  1. I liked the conference champ byes of the current model just because it put some importance on the conference championship games again, which had largely been devalued in the original playoff. But oh well.
  2. Ding ding ding. USC nixed the idea. Was reported on by a few places.
  3. Small world. I randomly watched the Jon Voight episode last night. Have watched maybe a dozen Seinfeld episodes in the past year.
  4. Fair enough. I very much like the older styling, and the few inches here and there make a big difference to me (lots of time on backcountry trails and off roading in tight places).
  5. Random thought: I bought the same car but a year ago, so 2024 model. Love it, highly recommend. Components well tested. The 2025s are notably larger, approaching something like Tahoe size (downside for some of what I do - if I wanted a full sized SUV, I'd get a full sized SUV; I find myself annoyed that Toyota went this direction). Plus the 2025s are kind of ugly IMO.
  6. *been watching him for 5 years
  7. Old coyote I've posted about before. Been watching him for five, including when he broke a leg and everyone thought he was a goner. Researchers tell me he's at least 8 years old already, judging by his teeth, so he's over twice coyote life expectancy and has outlived 99% of area coyotes according to their age demographic studies.
  8. First I've heard of this but looks like something I need to check out
  9. Spot on here. They're barely tweaking a modern wolf genome, which is already about as closely related to a dire wolf as I am to an orangutan. Coyotes are dramatically closer to a wolf than a dire wolf is. (For those that find this odd, just realize that dire wolves are called dire wolves because the first time we found their bones, they "looked" like large, off wolves, but as @Pods pointed out, the DNA evidence has now shown they're actually much more distantly related.) This research is interesting in some respects, but it is not even 10% of what the headlines are making it out to be.
  10. Just to say it: I'm in Yellowstone about 100 days a year. The old and natural residents of Gardiner - the ones who are working in and around the park - are overwhelmingly blue. The rich as fuck assholes who have moved here in droves, buying up land up and down Paradise Valley just north of Gardiner - that's where the MAGATS are.
