    Fuck Big 12 refs

    Yeah that was egregious. No flag and no comment from the booth.
  2. I initially was not keen on the Kindle/E-reader concept because I really loved the tactile experience you get with reading a nice new hard cover book. Somehow I was convinced to give one a try and bought a 1st gen in 2008. Quite quickly the convenience of essentially being able to carry anything you'd ever want to read along with you virtually anywhere was too much to ignore and I have been hooked ever since. Since that first one I have owned a 3rd gen Kindle, a 2nd gen Paperwhite, a Voyage (bought in 2014) and now a 5th gen Paperwhite. I'm not sure why the Voyage ended up being a dead end product line as it was by far my favorite Kindle and the one I got the most mileage out of. The Oasis line is great and I guess technically replaced the Voyage. IMO, the Oasis are just too much for what they are and not a big enough improvement over a Voyage or a Paperwhite to warrant the expense. Anyway, this new Paperwhite is finally a clear upgrade from the Voyage and mine was pretty beat to shit after seven years so I went with it. I got the 8g version with no ads. It was $160. In retrospect I wish I would have sprung for the 32g signature edition because its only $30 more and offers 4x the storage (though I currently only have a downloaded library of less than 2Gs), wireless charging and auto-adjusting LEDs. It's a very well made product and the screen is fantastic. Any Kindle owner that doesn't have an Oasis, its probably worth upgrading to this (or waiting on gen4 Oasis). It seems unlikely I will go another 7 years without replacing it but who knows. No page turn buttons which a lot of people might not like the but the touch screen is very good and its very easy to turn a page intentionally and not very easy to turn one unintentionally, which is what I like. Has both brightness and warmth adjustments so you can dial it in for day/night reading exactly to your liking. The gate between Paperwhite and Oasis is pretty much just form factor and cellular option, there is no cellular option at all on any new Paperwhite.
  3. This came out of nowhere for me and I'm really having fun with it. I've played the previous Disciples games and this one is not like those (those games were fine but this is just a very different game). This game is more of a Heroes of Might and Magic/King's Bounty game with a lot more RPG elements. If you liked either of those games I don't think you can go wrong here. The only caveat is the game has no difficulty settings of any kind and is on the easier side if you are familiar with HoMM/King's Bounty.

    I thought Shaq on the podium was fucking hilarious.

    On the ESPN FP1 coverage they just said 125K fans there today. That seems like a lot.
  6. Friend of mine lost his 25 year old son to the exact same shit about a week ago. It blows my mind what the most powerful nation to have ever existed puts up with. We know where it's coming from. We know how it's getting here. We are now losing more people to overdoses annually than we lost in the entirety of the Vietnam war.
  7. Outgained 170-1 in the 4th. Really fucking amazing level of shit the bed.

    The disparity in the roughing the passer calls were the only egregious officiating I noticed today. Aside from us just being more penalized in general that is, hard to say what accounts for that but it is not automatically bias/fuckery. But man the call on our guy for tackling Sanders was so ticky tack and then 11 just gets blasted and driven into the ground on a very similar post release tackle level of violence and the Ok St dude just gets up and nods at the fucking ref. No flag.
  9. I thought it was good but not great. Unforgiven is my favorite Western by a large margin.
  10. Yeah I don't recall the price but the lunch special is what I remember. The line would be backed up into the mall but it moved fast. Even though Dobie dorm had, in retrospect, a pretty kick ass meal plan that was all you can eat, I ate at Hao Hao more often than not for lunch.
  11. I lived in Dobie my freshman and sophomore year 91-92. I liked it a lot. I loved that Hao Hao Chinese place they had in the mall.
  12. I thought this was theater only, and maybe it was initially, but its for rent on Amazon for $6 in UHD.
  13. Elon Musk proven correct once again. We must be living in a simulation. There is no universe where the aggie team I've seen this year beats Alabama.
  14. lol fuck Jimbo and especially fuck the aggies. I hope they all choke on cocks tonight.
  15. I only recently read the book. I didn't love it. I thought the pacing was terrible. It felt like a bunch of important shit was skipped for no reason, almost like someone edited a draft that was missing the middle third into a novel. That said, when you realize this was written 55+ years ago, it is a commendable stab at future study and technology.
  16. All this year on Big Noon Kickoff they have had Clay Travis on the road at an SEC game. He was at Texas-Arkansas. They cut to him late for a segment in each of the two hours.
  17. We liked this a lot. Priest guy was awesome, I had never seen him anything.
  18. It will be appointment viewing for me, to start at least, but I have zero expectations. GoT was so good before it got so bad. Yes there was a slow drop off from S5 to the end but S8 was just so bad. Like I still have no idea how it got approved. Who approved it? Literally you could have asked reddit morons to come up with a plot for the season and rough draft scripts and they'd have done a better job in a week, for free. GoT went from my favorite show of all time to something I don't even like thinking about because it enrages me.
  19. This is one of the most bitch mode things I've ever seen a coach say publicly. What a sore loser cunt.
  20. This shit is insane. The main guy literally says aggie could be undefeated in the first minute or so. Then Billy cock eater comes on and talks about how 9-4 is possible. They don't live on planet Earth. edit: lol. It gets better. They think King makes a 7-10 point difference. The guy that threw 3 picks against...KENT STATE. Jesus Christ man, this is blowing my mind.
  21. Yes Arkansas aggie and LSU are going to be, in some order, 5-6-7 in the West.
  22. Big Noon Kickoff is going to be in Iowa City for the Penn State Iowa game...but that kick off is not at noon! I feel lied to.
  23. Going for it was absolutely the correct decision. Then he just called two bad plays. Make or miss a FG there and its still a 2 possession game. Get a TD there and it's game over. Also the D had been playing good since the first quarter, the chances of TCU going 99 yards for a TD were low. So yeah I liked the decision to go for it, I just did not like the play calling that followed. I liked his explanation after the game of why he went to Bijan there but I think you have to call Bijan friendly plays. Running between the 2 gaps on the goal line when everyone knows who is getting the ball is not a Bijan friendly call.

  25. 9 top 25 teams lost which feels like a lot more than normal, but all of them were top 20 which does not give us at 26 a lot of room to move up. I'd guess we'll be 23. It does not help that Arkansas was revealed to be a fraud who might only get one more SEC West win this year.
