    And then when we fire Herman next year who will be hiring then genius? 

    How the fuck should I know what the landscape looks like in a year. But I'll be shitting on Kelly next year as well. I see no reason to believe he's the answer to any problem we have at Texas. 

  2. I'd rather keep Herman than bring on this choad. At least we know Herman will be gone in one more year. With Kelly, we'd be right back where we are now in 4 years. Fuck that noise.

    I've been watching them climb but never invested.  Love to see everyone making mo'money.  ALPP now at 3.15, I had another limit order at 2.75 that will never fill.

    thats a bold statement.

    Well, I guess the remake of "Mary Ann and the Five Corpses" is off now.  RIP sweetie (the one who wisely invested her $ and didn't need to act any more).

    So Ginger wins.  I was always team Ginger.  6' and a great rack.  Don't look at any current pix though.

    I was always team "both Tacos"

    I like how the talking head had to refer to the lizard people thing as “completely unfounded.” Thanks for clearing that up.

    Just surprised they didnt have to first provide a Trigger Warning.

    Auburn self imposes a 2021 post-season ban. We'll see if NCAA adds anything, if they ever they get around to it

    Arizona jumps on that plan. Not a bad gamble especially if the tourney is cancelled.

    "The University of Arizona is self-imposing a one-year postseason ban on the UA Men's Basketball program as a proactive measure in its ongoing NCAA enforcement process," the school said in a statement. "The decision is an acknowledgement that the NCAA's investigation revealed that certain former members of the MBB staff displayed serious lapses in judgment and a departure from the University's expectation of honest and ethical behavior. It is also in accord with the penalty guidelines of the NCAA for the type of violations involved. This decision also reinforces the institution's commitment to accountability and integrity as well as serving the best long-term interests of the University and the Men's Basketball program."

    Former Arizona assistant coach Emanuel "Book" Richardson pleaded guilty to one felony count of conspiracy to commit bribery after being accused of accepting $20,000 to steer Arizona players to aspiring sports agent Christian Dawkins and financial advisers close to Dawkins. During Dawkins' trial, prosecutors played a call in which Richardson told Dawkins that Miller was paying $10,000 a month for former player Deandre Ayton. Miller has consistently denied paying players to attend Arizona.

    So interesting side note. I know Rajiv from when he was with Xros. For those not familiar with Xros, it is one of the seminal companies from the internet bubble. Xros had optical switching technology that didn’t work.

    I got to know them when I was talking with them about merging their startup with ours. We immediately figured out it didn’t work and stayed away. Nortel came in and bought them for several billion dollars and Rajiv became super rich overnight. They built nothing of value and became insanely rich - the true mark of the Internet bubble for many.

    I was in Silicon Valley during that time selling semiconductors. Part of that time, I had the north bay territory (Petaluma, Rohnert Park, etc...) which had a shitload of  early stage networking startups up there. It was crazy how many were getting snapped up by Cisco, Nortel, et al...for insane valuations.

    Actually- there is serious talk that if you got breached, you may also have to replace all your networking hardware. I believe the Solarwinds install required admin privileges to the networking gear (and if not required, a lot of admins gave it to them). With that access, you could install your own customized firmware. At this point, the hardware can’t be trusted & you have to pull it out & replace. I believe the majority of government agencies will go this route, if not also large enterprises that were known victims.

    As for Solarwinds, there was already talk pre-attack they were going to split up into two different companies. My guess is that this split is expedited, the spin-off gets all the good people and money while “Solarwinds” eventually gets shuttered. 

    Probably a naive question, but is it impossible to wipe the hardware and reinstall firmware you know isn't malicious? Is it just not worth the time and money?

  9. The only crypto I bought this year was XRP. Got in at .30 and it promptly shot up to .60+. Then all this lawsuit noise and it shit the bed. Managed to get out at .26, so not a disaster, but indicative of how fast this shit changes. Dont really pay as much attention to shit as I should. Was at .60 one day, and I check back a week later and its below where I bought in, lulz.  Now I'm just back to my BTC and ETH that I bought in the fall of 2017. 

  10. I play the same two leagues every year. I cruised to the finals win with my team that had Kamara. Somehow in my other league, one of the guys in the final had Kamara and managed to lose, lulz. The rest of his team had a shitty performance and the other guy made up huge ground on SNF, MNF with Adams and Allen. 

  11. Not really a stonk, but OSS has been on a tear the last few days. Got in at $2.40 in August planning to hold for a couple of years, and it floated between $2 and $3 until last week. Spiked all the way to $5.3 today before settling back down. Not sure what's up, but its still relatively cheap for a tech company (edge computing) with solid sales growth and trading at a little over  1x sales.
