  1. So I just finished Ludicrous I know they kind of got on track since that book, but man he really has not set up Tesla to succeed. And in fact he seems to be doing all he can to tank them now.

  3. There isn't anything hypocritical about it, this is their IP they are free to do whatever they want with it. And letting any and everyone run free with it is their right. The biggest issue is that is foolish for them to do this on their own. They should band up with every other studio and work this as a package deal. $1 Billion is chump change for these companies, they should command $100 Billion - maybe more - as a group. These companies don't understand how much their own IP is worth. And it's just dumb to see them give it away for really pennies.
  4. So man (whom I assume votes) not born in America is complaining about people not born in America voting? I think his biggest problem is that when he looks at those people voting he's really saying ...
  5. Given how the NFL has cracked down on things like the Houston Cougars powder blues, I would think they defend their marks pretty hard and any group would have a hard time proving anything about the mark being abandon. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/2023/10/30/nfl-houston-cougars-oilers-inspired-uniforms/71381952007/
  6. 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.
  7. 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".
  8. That what I meant about 1’. How unlucky of him. Also this was solid.
  9. Damn, their keeper is having an incredible game. If not for him, this game is easily 4-0 or 5-0.
  10. What a dumb penalty, glad to have the 2-0 lead.
  11. I wouldn't put them on the list, but 5 year old me thought these guys were really fucking cool.
  12. WTF is that card? That's not even a foul if you ask me.
  13. 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.
  14. Gameday!!! Let's do this!!!
  15. 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!!!
  16. 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.
  17. I love the fact that Stanley doesn't cuss in this film (well once at the very end).
  18. 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!!!!
  19. My breakfast today was inspired
  20. You can’t be reffed by your own confederation if I recall right.
  21. And that’s a solid 2-0 lead.
  22. RICHIE!!! Just flipped the game on in time to celebrate
