  1. I used an Ultrahuman ring for a year and sleep tracking was pretty much all it was good for. I was religious about analyzing the results and doing everything I could to maximize it. I realized that beyond going to bed earlier and avoiding alcohol, there’s really nothing I can do to improve my sleep. There was no other correlation for me between diet/exercise and sleep duration/quality.
  2. Scouting reports are glowing. I’ve read nothing but praise for his swing, hit tool, bat speed, power potential, IQ, work ethic, and overall character. In the few videos I’ve seen of him his swing is pretty. He probably has the highest offensive potential of any prospect in Houston’s system. The DSL stat line shows he is ready for stateside ball. We won’t really know much until he gets into full season ball. He could end up Yordan’s size or bigger and he already is not a fast runner so he will almost certainly be limited to a corner in the OF but as long as he doesn’t develop chronic injury concerns he should be able to play the field. I’m really hoping they bring him over this spring and that he gets a taste of Fayetteville sometime in 2026.
  3. That’s Jonah Williams
  4. I’m fairly ignorant but poring over the roster and recruit rankings this is the list of guys by position group I think can be reasonably expected to contribute next season: DL: Kanu, January, Watson, Johnson, J Terry EDGE: Simmons, Spence, Omeozulu, Jackson, Vasek, Wesley LB: Smith, Barnes, Atkinson, Okpala DB: Black, McDonald, Williams, Phillips, Littleton, Mack QB: Manning, Lacey, Bell RB: Clark, Simon TE: Townsend, Washington WR: Wingo, Mosley, Livingstone, Niblett, Lockett, Ffrench, M Terry, Bishop OL: Baker, Goosby, Chapman, Cojoe, Cruz, Omeozulu So for me the portal needs are: 2 RB, 4 OL, 1 DL, 1 LB, and 2 DB
  5. He was one of the 15 best prospects in the draft imho. Elite bat speed and power and doesn’t have a launch angle problem or a plate discipline issue. He will also have defensive value. It’ll boil down to his swing and miss against elite pitching but he could be a star.
  6. This. Something is different. Whether it’s the Epstein shit, the economy, the fact that Trump is term limited, simple fatigue, ICE raids, pending war with Venezuela, or a combination of everything, something has changed to reduce how much public support Trump is getting from rural southeast Texas. Who knows if that will be reflected in any kind of substantive results.
  7. Made the same drive yesterday. I did see one medium sized flag that read “Trump Nation” on a ranch gate, I think between Gonzales and Cuero. That’s new as it wasn’t there a month ago. It was the only sign I saw the whole drive. Still, a 95% reduction in Trump signs from 12 months ago.
  8. Clinton could do the world a solid by just coming out and publicly saying “I watched Donald Trump fuck 12 year old girls.”
  9. You leave the LA Sparks all time leading scorer out of this, motherfucker!
  10. Keller is owed ~$55M/3yrs, but projects to be worth quite a bit more than that. Walker is owed $40M/2yrs and would only probably get ~$25M/2yrs if he were a free agent. Houston would have to add quite a bit to that trade to make it work. But it looks like Houston might be about to acquire Mike Burrows for Jacob Melton and Anderson Brito so not sure how that will change their plans. Verlander and Burrows gives them a full rotation and would leave them enough money to add a backup C and save some powder for the trade deadline.
  11. Someone mentioned up thread that the reduction in teen pregnancy accounts for the majority of the decline (at least in the US), and I’ve wondered if the way it might reverse is if life expectancy and fertility range increase. If people start staying healthy well into their 80s on average, then you might see more people having more kids in their late 30s and into their 40s. My wife and I stopped at 2 because I felt like I was too old to have more; I didn’t want to be in my 60s with a kid in high school. If I felt like I could count on being healthy/active into my 80s and could count on not succumbing to major age related decline in my 50s and 60s, I would have had at least one more kid. I think there’s enough wealth/technology to mitigate almost all of the risks associated with population decline. Obviously at some point extinction becomes a concern but that’s a ways off. The next 20 years are going to be crucial as humanity has to navigate population decline, AI/robotics advancement, wealth inequality, and climate change. The most high ceiling/low floor time in human history.
  12. I think the typical Republican strategy/idea in this situation is to start a war with a country that has a lot of oil…
  13. I can’t believe this ridiculous bullshit. What the fuck.
  14. I went to see It’s A Wonderful Life at the Paramount last night, and the scene where the narrator says “like everyone else, he wept and cried on VE Day…” meaning people were crying tears of joy and relief en masse, made me think that if Trump dies in the next 5 years, it will be a similar sentiment around the civilized world. I have fireworks and expensive scotch I am holding back. I will take several days off from work to celebrate. I just really hope he doesn’t live long enough to fade away and to have his heinous acts blurred by the passage of time.
  15. If Talarico were going up against Cruz, I think he’d beat that margin. If Paxton wins the GOP primary and Talarico wins the Dem primary, I will expect a very very close race. I don’t think Talarico or Crockett has much of a chance to beat Cornyn. Dems should be rooting for Paxton to win the primary as much as the Republicans are rooting for Crockett.
  16. If the 10 point swing also applies to the senate, it would only be 52 D - 48 R.
  17. If the midterms shift 10 points vs 2024, the House ends up 230 D - 204 R. Bloodbath. I find that incredibly hard to believe, but if it did it would finally be a concrete sign that Trumpism is waning.
  18. Asheville was the only affiliate not owned by the Astros. Also, it is expected that the High A level will be eliminated as part of the next CBA. I hate it. MLB needs more affiliated teams, not less. More players on affiliated roster means a more popular sport.
  19. https://www.texastribune.org/2025/12/08/texas-turning-point-usa-greg-abbott-high-schools/ Can’t say I’m a fan of the governor threatening anyone who stands in the way of a sexist homophobic religious nut group showing up to indoctrinate high school kids.
  20. Add this to the long list of things Trump has done that would have certainly resulted in Obama’s removal from office or assasination had he done the same thing when he was in office.
  21. God I hope you’re right.

    I don’t think Talarico is a centrist. He’s probably aligned with Crockett on all policy views. The difference is Talarico won’t activate the racists and sexists on the other side to juice opposition turnout.
  23. Snake Diggity replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
    Fair point, but clearing the way for a loser candidate just because “it’s her turn” vs clearing the way for a candidate because he’s the only one with a chance to win the general is a big difference. If Crockett gets in the primary and generates a lot of statewide attention that results in Talarico winning with a higher profile then great. But if Crockett either wins or forces Talarico to draw down his money chest to win, it’s bad.
  24. Snake Diggity replied to Pancho's topic in Cloak Room
    Allred dropped out of the senate race. Not sure if that’s because he’s getting out of Crockett’s way or if they’re doing the smart thing and clearing the field for Talarico.
