  1. Work travel, someone else is paying for the parking. That said, Uber/Lyft/Taxi are all paid for too. But sometimes it's just nice to have your car right when you get back.
  2. Maybe the aliens come up from a planet of plenty, where food from non-life sources is abundant? They spread their message, thinking it will bring peace and prosperity to the universe not realizing unintended consequences. This isn’t much different than what humanity has come up with. Think of the Paul Virilio quote: "When you invent the ship, you also invent the shipwreck; when you invent the plane you also invent the plane crash; and when you invent electricity, you invent electrocution. Every technology carries its own negativity, which is invented at the same time as technical progress".
  3. That what I meant about 1’. How unlucky of him. Also this was solid.
  4. Damn, their keeper is having an incredible game. If not for him, this game is easily 4-0 or 5-0.
  5. What a dumb penalty, glad to have the 2-0 lead.
  6. I wouldn't put them on the list, but 5 year old me thought these guys were really fucking cool.
  7. WTF is that card? That's not even a foul if you ask me.
  8. I was on a call the first 20 - saw the OG. Given that it should have been 1-0 in the first 1' I very much will take it.
  9. Gameday!!! Let's do this!!!
  10. Page 2? You guys are slipping. And seriously - I read every word - great job man! Congratulations! I will add I had a very circuitous and path to graduating (failing out, grinding and digging myself off scholatic probation). To get to the end of the journey and graduate feels amazing. I am beyond happy for you. In my long-ass time at UT it amazed me how counselors ran the gambit from great to non-existant. My attendance in the 90's guidance was an after-thought. Not at all helpful for 18-22 year olds, many of whom didn't have their heads screwed on straight. When I returned in 2000 I had two counselors that gave great guidance and advocated for me tremendously. To have real support was a relief and help to achieve a lifelong goal. I'm glad you were able to find someone that advocated for you and worked with you. That means the world and just shows that the right person makes a huge difference. Again Congratulations!!!
  11. Maybe this is something far simpler? Maybe the aliens just figured out how to end all wars, be civil and keep the peace and decided to share it? The end result is everyone being a hive mind and losing free will. And they shared it across the Universe? The reason they are ultra nice to the 12, because they are doing this to keep the peace world wide. And they realized that with Carol in the state she is in, she needs to be isolated otherwise she risks the peace.
  12. I love the fact that Stanley doesn't cuss in this film (well once at the very end).
  13. People ask why I don't want to see Pulisic in the EPL - Here is a perfect example of this. Jesus Christ!!! The moment the shine is off, OH IT WAS THE ENGLISH GUY!!!!
  14. My breakfast today was inspired
  15. You can’t be reffed by your own confederation if I recall right.
  16. And that’s a solid 2-0 lead.
  17. RICHIE!!! Just flipped the game on in time to celebrate
  18. Bump because of teams left combos i believe So it took me a while to find it - but I did, from reddit: Uzbekistan could not be put in Group I with France and Senegal because the winner of the Bolivian-Suriname-Iraq playoff must end up in a group with 2 European teams and one African team. The only possibility for such a group was to put Norway in group I. So yeah, it was a Pot 4 muddle.
  19. Better picture of the groups
  20. Given that 2+ teams get out, it would be WELL BEYOND failure if we don't get out of this group
