  1. Hold your horses there, cowboy. You must understand -- all young people are lazy, unengaged social media junkies. They couldn't be bothered to learn anything about our history or our system of government.
  2. Laguna is Anastasis. Anastasis is Laguna.
  3. You need to man up and argue in good faith. LMAO.
  4. Can we find a different term?
  5. Y'all will note that our resident fascist "libertarian" has turned tail and avoided me but is determined to inject the phrase "race rhetoric" into the conversation. Drink!
  6. It's not exactly close to Fayetteville, but Hot Springs is kinda cool in a weird way. Worth an overnight visit. There's a giant (formerly) grand hotel there from back in the mob days.
  7. Holy shit. OK, buddy. I honestly wish the best for you.
  8. It's a bad thing that it matters so much to you.
  9. Educate me, professor. You have the biggest brain around these parts. Fill in the gaps for me and the other goldfish.
  10. Whodathunkit?
  11. Yup, goldfish brain. Lucky as hell, though.
  12. Oh go fuck yourself. You care about this shit WAY too much.
  13. I don't think there is much to argue about regarding QE and other rich white UT athletes' political alignment. My only caveat would be to assume that a guy in his young 20's is as entrenched as a guy in his middle age years. Those are two different animals. I can hold out hope for one. For the other? It's a lot more difficult. Most guys who are QE's age are irrational, illogical brain stems who are easily swayed. They may or may not grow into compassionate members of society, but at this level of immaturity it's at least still possible. I'm honestly surprised that shit like that Trump shirt doesn't cause huge problems in college locker rooms overwhelmingly populated by young Black men who were raised in poverty and routinely treated like dogs, but here we are.
  14. Grown ass men "keeping receipts" from message board arguments. Brilliant. Congrats on making it to the league, Quinn. Maybe Dolphins fans won't suck as much ass as Texas "fans".
  15. There are different kinds of creativity. My career has been built on coming up with creative solutions to problems and developing new technologies. That said, I would be a terrible design engineer. I am almost wholly uninterested in (for instance) design for manufacture, etc. I mean, I can read a mechanical drawing, but creating them at the pace and with the quality a good design engineer does? Not in a million years.
  16. Yeah, this isn't difficult, but here we are.
  17. Shit. I always thought it was the "Nobel Prize". Apparently it's the "Noble Prize". Don't I have egg on my face!
  18. My heat transfer class was the same way. Every test (conduction, convection, radiation) had a class average of ~ 35. But, the prof curved. He just wanted students to know how little they knew. A 55 was probably a high A.
  19. When our younger son was in middle school he was cultivating a really lame taste in music. At some point he asked "Dad, can we go see Phoenix?" To be fair, Phoenix was far from the worst band he liked. That was Imagine Dragons. Anyway, I bought a pair of tix to Phoenix, and one night my wife and I are watching TV on the couch, and it occurred to me we had those tickets. I asked my wife "hey, what day is that Phoenix concert?" Turns out it was just about over. My son did not take the news well.
  20. If every student in a class fails, then the school needs to step in.

    I know they did some recording in LA earlier this year, but those studio shots look like Jim Eno's new place in Rhode Island. I'll be curious to see how this was all put together.
  22. From his wife Gretchen:
  23. Yeah, when we moved our son in his freshman year, my wife & I took him to Target the next morning. My head about popped off at all of the nonsense she was buying him, but ultimately it wasn't nearly as much as we spent on his older sister. It didn't help that I was just becoming symptomatic for my first bout of covid. I couldn't figure out why I had a pretty serious headache. Next day, popped a test.
  24. Seems good to me.
