that's why you don't call TO; don't give WVU any chance to get organized. with the game on the line and Ramey charging the rim, all five defenders instinctively ran to him. kudos to Ramey for making the right play, and shouts out to Andrew "Bigass Balls" Jones. fuck it feels good to have experienced talent again. helluva win today. great fucking win. 🤘🏼
That aint no joke. We were getting a good look at a 3 pt shot one way or another, lulz

the Big 12 is tough. I just don't see them ending up top 8 because of that. the wheels don't have to fall off for them to end up top 9-12. I would extremely happy to be a 3.
Oh I don't expect us to be a 1-2 seed, but I also didn't expect this squads to go balls deep, no-lube style on Kansas in Lawrence either. Lots of teams are going to drop some games this year. Considering my expectations heading into the year, if we end up with a 3 seed, I'd be thrilled as well. Just not going to place the ceiling there.

we definitely need to take advantage of the "road" games this year. I see this team ending up as a 4 seed at worst and probably a 3 at best.
If we can turn a sweet sixteen trip into recruiting a big time point guard we could have the makings of something.
Even my pessimistic ass wouldnt put the ceiling on this team as a 3 seed. You could argue they are a 1 seed right now, and have conference wins over # 4 KU and # 14 WVU on the road. Can I see the wheels falling off? Sure its Texas basketball, few schools can make the wheels fall off faster. BUT, right now I don't see a whole lot of teams playing better ball than Texas. Zags, Baylor, Nova (and that game was close), who else?

sorry guys, either I'm a jinx or this appears to be the same basketball I saw last year. As of 5:21 remaining, I see no coaching adjustments being made. Not an expert, just am looking for an adjustment.
There's still room for improvement, but to say this is the same team as last year ain't right. We are on the road playing a ranked team. We lost by a hundred last year in WV.

This thread hasnt been getting much attention. Noticed that a lot of underdogs have been winning straight up. So I went back and checked the games from 1/1 thru last night. Underdogs have straight up won 33 of the last 56 games. If you would have bet 100 on the underdog moneyline on each game, you would have a profit of $4,368. that blind strategy would have been a winner on each of the 8 individual days. I'm sure the 'rona and empty arenas is responsible for a lessening of home court advantage, but it still seems like an unusual oddity. I'm sure the books will be adjusting sooner rather than later.

While I'm more PC savvy than some, I've never been one of those guys that knows a ton about how PC's work (BIOS, Windows registry etc...) I know their purpose, but never fuck around with them. The other day Microsoft pushed a Windows 10 update to my PC and basically bricked the motherfucker. When I grabbed it the next morning, it started off with a "uninstalling update" routine, and it never recovered ending up in this Blue Screen automatic repair loop. All of the tools provided for fixing/troubleshooting didnt work (uninstall updates, restore points didnt exist, etc...). I even prepared an external USB drive with Windows reinstall media, but when I tried to reinstall the OS, the reinstall process wouldn't let me select the proper drive partition, because it was encrypted by bitlocker, telling me to disable that in the control panel (which I cant get to, because the fucking POS wont boot).
I got on support with Microsoft chat, had my case "escalated" from a first line moron to a specialist, also a moron who told me that I would have to contact the PC manufacturer to disable bitlocker, there was nothing MS could do. I called a couple of PC repair shops but they charged around a $100 for a diagnosis fee and start from there. The laptop is a few years old so I'm hesitant to throw a lot of money at it. Went to Best Buy in frustration to look at just buying a new PC, but got pissed off at the idea of dropping another $800-$1000 on a PC when there was nothing wrong with mine a few days ago.
So last night I grabbed some beer and start watching you tube videos on my work PC about how to recover from this type of shit. Brought up the old DOS command window and ran all sorts of commands that I have no real understanding what they might do. Some of those commands tell me my C drive is corrupt/unreadable. Commands to disable bitlocker would tell me the drive was already unprotected. Other commands didn't return info that would match the videos. But I plugged away at it enduring many videos, reboots, and ultimately I was able to reformat the drive , reboot the PC its back to normal. Never even had to reinstall the OS.
Spent a little over 2 hours but I was drinking beer so it wasn't a total waste of time, and I know I saved at least $100 for a repair trip and likely more. That last reboot cycle, when I could tell the fucking thing had rounded the corner and was gonna boot up, I'm pretty sure I let out a Gilbert laugh.
Fuck you Microsoft for your shitty windows update and shittier support. But us nerds will always come out on top at the end.

Year two of Jenny’s incarceration, Trump dies in his own prison cell after multitudes of exposed crimes prove that he was a foreign asset all along. Working in the prison laundry, Jenny hits rock bottom with regret of her life choices thus far. The following week, Jenny embraces Islam. Around that same time, the relationship with her cell mate becomes one that teaches her the pleasures of female tenderness. Things improve for Jenny over the next four years of her sentence thanks in part to some serious self-reflection, as well as a computer programming class that the new warden has implemented. Unfortunately, Jenny never fully takes control over her diabetes. She dies of a stroke six months before her first parole hearing.
I feel like you kind of rushed through some parts there. A little more color on the burgeoning relationship with between Jenny and her cellmate would help humanize the stupid cunt.

Trump ain't gonna run in 2024. Not only does he know he can’t win. He doesn't want the fucking job. He only wants the adulation/national attention. So he’ll talk about running, and go through the motions for a couple of years to keep the fundraising grift going, but he can get the adulation from the cult by riffing off the cuff on whatever bullshit media venture he cooks up. My guess is starts to position of his idiot spawn for the gig. Or better yet he’ll have an aneurysm on the shitter while hammering out tweets and be a vegetable for a couple of years. He can damage this country plenty, but it won't be as president.

Pence is not pardoning anybody, not after what happened yesterday. There were plenty of people in that mob that are on social media record of saying he should hang. Meanwhile, Pence, and I think his family, were in the capitol for the vote ceremony. For the most part I have very very little respect for Pence, but even he is not a pushover enough to pardon Trump for putting his family into mortal danger.
Lulz. I'm not saying Pence will definately pardon Trump, but I also can't rule it out. Anybody that has listened to that obsequious taint licker emasculate himself before Trump countless times knows Pence will do whatever he feels is in his best political interest. Self respect and backbone left the picture years ago.

We are not in disagreement on this case. Protect the line of succession. Protect every sitting member of Congress and anybody else who works for them. I was more commenting on the shoot every person who pokes their head in any door or window of the capital when the occupants have taken shelter in one room already.
Bulllshit. Storming the nation's capital comes with consequences. At least it should. Everyone of those motherfuckers had choices ranging from staying the fuck at home, to at worst peacefully protesting outside the barriers. If I was running the show, there would be a lot more arrests coming and jail time for all in Federal prison.
Not for protesting, I'm all for the right to protest. They went about 5 steps past that. If our jails are too full, let out all the dudes in there for selling weed. Gonna be legal soon anyway. The internet is full of these fucking morons openly talking about a storm, a revolution, etc... You don't let that slide. As they say, you take a swing at the king, you best not miss.
Start with Trump and work your way down.

I did and told them it was an internet acquiantance that goes by "Anastasis" who provided the tip. I also added that he has mentioned he owns a substantial firearm collection but I'm pretty sure they are all legally registered - but I can't verify that for sure.

If Pence had played it right he could have convinced the number he needed that trump was going to lead them to this moment now. That removing trump was necessary to avoid a democrat takeover and the problems that will cause them, all while leaking recordings of trump breaking the law much more than was leaked elsewhere. He's just not shrewd enough to pull it off but a better politician would have.
As was mentioned above, he's a fucking idiot. He failed at politics initially and became a talk radio guy....presumably a poor man's Rush. Thats where he got a following so he could eventually succeed at politics. These are the slapdicks running this country.

Lulz at this dumb cunt.

I'm curious, do you have experience in the HVAC industry or just running a business. I used to sell into the commercial side, and the differences in profitability was insane. Obviously the chances of fucking up residential estimates, major job slippage on residential projects is smaller, but I would see contractors doing to 50-100 million a year in revenue make less profit than companies with much smaller run rates. There is definitely a right way and a wrong way to run those businesses.

Ended up taking at stab at the warrants(EOSEW), just to change it up a bit. Got in around $9 yesterday. I see the warrants are up about 15% today vs 10% on the underlying stock. I guess it will just be a more volatile version of the stock. There are some additional considerations with warrants, so we'll see how it goes.
FPVD also on a nice move today.

Fuck Mitt Romney. He's not a great guy. He looks out for Mitt first. As the most recent nominee for president prior to Trump he was better positioned to push back against Trump from the beginning, but chose to straddle the fence for his own political well being.
He doesn't need the gig. He's got plenty of money from his time in the private equity world putting people out of work to line his own pockets. He was smart enough to know that Trump as president would end in horrific fashion, but played right along. While I'd rather all Americans treat each other with more dignity, I find it hard to give a shit that Mitt Romney is getting the business end of the "Face Eating Leopard Party"
In summary, Fuck Mitt.
