  1. I'll take your word for it, I don't pay that much attention (or at least commit it to memory). Current RPI: 1. UGA 2. Texas 3. Vandy 4. Auburn 5. Arkansas
  2. Back to piling on the lawyers: last night's 60 Minutes was infuriating. Oh, now that Trump is coming after law firms the "rule of law" is suddenly in jeopardy?
  3. "What have you done for me lately?"
  4. Couldn't agree more. Between my two current UT students they lived at 3 different West Campus towers. They all sucked. Mid-century prison once you get inside, just a dorm with a fancy name. They now live just north of Crown & Anchor in adjacent rental houses (because my son is an idiot and had no idea he was renting a house next to his sister), and they love it.
  5. I'm not much of a hockey fan, but I do keep an eye on the Blues. That goal at 1.6 sec to send it to OT was gut-wrenching.
  6. WTF does that mean? If you think he's a 3rd round prospect but you draft him in the 1st round, that's on you. He obviously slipped way past round 3. Nice try, Mrs. Ewers.
  7. I just visited Alcatraz for the first time last summer, so this hits close to home. I also imagine it would be more cost effective to renovate and expand a 175 year old stone prison built on a rock in the middle of a bay in the most expensive city in America than it would be to (for instance) expand some federal prison in Bumfuck, Mississippi.
  8. He named three other guys before he got to Sucherman. Try the fucking decaf. By the way, Steve Smith played for Journey and he was also a beast.
  9. Yeah, I've seen a lot of Sucherman's live playing along with some tutorial videos. He is absolutely a monster.
  10. * Chamberlin
  11. I'm quite partial to Glen Kotche (Wilco).
  12. Big guy in the salmon colored jacket has some moves!
  13. Honestly, I don't know why any designer wouldn't avoid a rear-firing port at all costs. It's just silly given the likely placement of the speaker. Here's a funny thing about ports: the bigger the port's cross sectional area, the longer they need to be, which takes up more space in the box, which rapidly becomes self-defeating. It's counter-intuitive. If they're too small the velocity jumps and they make noise. In my opinion, they're not a great choice for small speakers. Passive radiators, while thought of as analogs of ports, actually work better in those small environments more often than not.
  14. You are on the right track. Bluetooth, while convenient, just doesn't have the fidelity.
  15. Well, I didn't say all small speakers could be pushed up against a wall. In fact, most get kinda boomy if you do, and if they have rear-firing ports that's a definite no-no (and the designers should have taken that into account and advise at least a few inches of clearance so the port isn't clamped.) I'm just saying some ARE designed to be against the wall. Horses for courses. (Appropriate, given the day.)
  16. That was pleasant.
  17. I see grocery stores as essential businesses. Most people tend to shop at their neighborhood store. Don't bring your dog, with rare exceptions (service dogs). Bars and restaurants are non-essential establishments. If the owner wants to operate a dog-friendly business, it's your fault if you go and don't like the presence of dogs.
  18. The point is, it didn't destroy his career. Some guys can deal with it, some can't. How you tell beforehand, I don't know. (Thanks for the correction on Troy's record.)
  19. Did Galvan just have a seizure? LMAO
  20. God damn is Pierce coaching on the field?
  21. You paid $10 for a 4 oz bag of "protein chips"? WTF?
