    After he dumped the adorable swedish girl who was head over heels for him, I had my question.  But he then turned his attention to being p-whipped and having his heart smashed by a beautiful alsatian dancer, so he resolved that open question.  And, as his sister tells us about his game with the girls, thankfully without sharing details, "your son is a slut."

    Pics of the Swede? 
     

    I had to google Alsatian. Why is your son fucking a German shepherd?

    Sounds like the JT pitching experiment will continue.    Second link is another game article.   Pierce is well protected by the AAS, LHN, and Radio Broadcast.  LHN "Game Plan With David Pierce" is scheduled at 7PM tonight if interested.    

     

    "I'm trying to win. The reason why is because I think he's a kid that can help us just like Cade, just like (Whitehead)," Pierce said after the UTRGV game. "At the end of the day, we're trying to win baseball games and I'm not going to sit and watch the same stuff happen without trying to explore all of our different options. I really think JT's an option."

    "JT is a good pitcher, I'm telling you," Pierce said. "It wasn't perfect, but we've got a lot of baseball to play after that. I'd much rather have done it tonight to start versus his first time in a leverage situation. He has toughness, he has grit and he'll figure things out."

    From the stands it looked like he had some decent stuff. He certainly didn’t look too bad compared to all the guys we sent in after him. Was he touching 90 with his FB?

    Starting a guy who has never pitched in a college game before at this point in the season is laughable, but I guess there's no reason not to based on what we've seen from the others.  Anyone in the general student body who can pitch?  One of the backup QBs?

    Holy shit. We trailed 15-1?!?


     

    and they left 15 on base?!?!

     

    i’m not looking at the box score any further…

    (but am now perversely curious how man walks we gave up seeing they only had 11 hits and we *only* had 2 errors)

    Yeah dude, this was uniquely bad

    You can hear it on the field mic on the radio broadcast.  

    There were like, dozens of us left, so it’s literally the guy with the microphone: mystery solved.

    How can someone whistle non-stop for 2+ hours. Is it maybe a mentally-handicapped person? 

    No one was whistling non-stop. I was there, just left only because of babysitter constraints. Texas is winning this shit fest like 21-20. But I assure you, for long stretches, the only noise was sarcastic

    Simultaneously encouraging and infuriating.
     

    it seems like we need US private DOD contractors to sell designs to European partners (or whatever it takes) to accelerate European production. Is that possible and happening to any extent given ITAR? Would it require a literal act of congress to allow? Is the EU sharing designs from country to country to optimize production?

    major layoffs coming, both open and stealth. somewhere between 10 and 20% (14-28k folks globally?) RIF

    firing 10+% of your workforce is a great indicator for growth - right?

    +

    the CEO of a 140k employee company now saying he must approve ALL NEW HIRES

    we've all worked at companies where you have seen a version of this. Elon sending it to all employees is just cherry on top lol

    and 100% of the time it's bad.

    going on a full hiring freeze to the level your micromanager CEO has to individually approve hires is a great indicator for growth, right?

    +

    cutting shift time on the Cybertruck production line by 12.5% 5 months in to delivery and with 3 days notice is totally normal, right?

    https://www.businessinsider.com/tesla-tells-cybertruck-employees-shifts-shorter-austin-gigafactory-2024-4

     

    all totally normal things for a company with "unlimited growth potential"

     

    100% self induced. If he would’ve just continued to keep his political opinions to himself and focus on his companies, this wouldn’t be happening.
