    you have to take KD because of the roids. we have no idea how authentic Clemens's stats and performances are. especially when you consider that it's KD >>> Clemens in terms of how great each one was at UT. my dad and I are actually going to do another podcast soon where we debate All-Time Texas teams, and he and I both agree that Clemens isn't even in the weekend rotation for the all time UT Baseball team. Clemens was really good in college, but not, "this guy will win 7 Cy Young Awards" good. KD is the real deal. Clemens is a cheater who used PED's his entire career. 

    The PEDs mean zero to me. The whole league was juicing so who really cares. But you’re spot on about time at Texas. He wasn’t even the best pitcher on his own team let alone an all time

  2. Clemens basically won 7 MVPs (Cy Young is equivalent) which is the most in history. There’s argument to be made that he’s one of the 5 best pitchers ever. I’m not making it but it certainly not crazy.

    Im still taking KD though as the best we’ve ever had in terms of professional success.

    It's me, the Smart Guy who believes there's a graceful way to leave a nation you're militarily occupying

    I also have to sit on my hands during circle time because I eat paste

    I find it funny that a group of people so rightfully critical of others’ use of language that is homophobic / transphobic / pokes fun at mentally handicapped people - that group freely pokes fun at Abbott’s handicap. These jokes never have been and aren’t funny. 

    No civility for the uncivil

    We've decided we're not sending our kids.  They're 5 and starting K.  To say they are disappointed is an understatement.  I'm hoping that in a week everything changes and they offer a virtual option.  

    I work from home so I can manage two five-year-olds.  Barely.

    Good luck to everyone dealing with this bullshit.  Let's remember this when it's time to vote.

    Yep. Home school for kindergarten here.

    The case will forge ahead in the lower courts with the mask mandate mandate in effect.  But as far as this interim order, it's top o the ladder already.

    So do districts that want to continue mandating masks have any recourse at this point or can they truly not require masks?

    Also what about counties that have mandated masks? Sorry not a lawyer

    Great start for Nuno. I think the Spurs got a good one. Harry Kane looks like an even bigger dildo now. 

    I said at the time I never understood why Nuno wasn’t first choice. What he’s done at Wolves is incredible and he is the right kind of person for a club like Spurs similar to how Klopp just fits at LFC

    Grealish being a huge flopping pussy fits in very well with this City squad.

    I cant be the only one that thinks City paid 100m for bad hair Adam Lallana

    Does it search for known illicit images or does it look for certain features in any picture?

    For example, are the pictures of my kids in the bathtub now a problem? Are people at apple going to be viewing pictures of my naked kids because it meets certain criteria?

    No one is “viewing” your pictures in my understanding but I do think your question about pics of your kids is an interesting question. I don’t know enough about how this works to answer it unfortunately.

    if you put stuff in a self storage unit, it's your shit but it's not simply "your business" if you're storing fucktons of ammonium nitrate or briefcases of cocaine. LifeStorage probably reviews security footage, maybe uses dogs? If they don't and they could, they certainly would. Obviously kiddie porn pictures aren't going to cause us-east-1 to explode like fucking West, TX but AWS, Google, Microsoft, and in this case Apple have an interest in people using their infrastructure to traffic in exploitation and crime.

    It is an interesting issue, but to me less from the perspective of "they're scanning MY images for kiddie porn" and more from "we are moving towards having a choice of three landlords for the internet".

    I wonder if Amazon and Google are scanning images for their photo backup services.

    Put this post at the top of the thread and lock it up

    Deep into page two already, and this thread is full of conspiracy theories, bold proclamations, and insane “solutions,” but completely devoid of evidence or citations. 

    0 stars. Would not read again.

    Correct

    Defunding the police is what is says and what it means. It is problematic because people who beat this to death really don’t care about explaining what it means.

    Yea no one has taken the time to explain it. That’s the problem. Lulz

    Franken's was more than one poor attempt at humor.  Yeah Hill got caught in MeToo.  the staffer was 22.  Have Greene and Gohmert been accused of something sexual in nature?  I know Gaetz has and he denied.

    Gaetz fucked a child and you’re providing him cover. Your party attempted to put a different child molester in the senate also. You elected a literally rapist president. You’re a disingenuous fucking moron. 
     

    Also still waiting on all the pubs that have been pushed to resign by their own party for sexual impropriety. Do you think Clarence Thomas should resign? Why doesn’t your party? How about Kav?

    why don't you read my post and the supposed "adult" responses? you are an adult  go ahead and post them.  he's not resigning and he doesn't have to because cover will be provided.

    Good god dude are you really this unable to use your fucking brain

    the aggy was the child.

    No he wasn’t. You still haven’t answered my question about your stupid post

    HiFi

    I thought we had one somewhere but not sure.

    I’m not sure about in Austin but AB TV used to have some of that stuff. In SA both Bjorns and Best Buy Magnolia carry what you’re looking for. There’s a BB Magnolia in south Austin off mopac.

    In similar news, I’m picking up my new fronts, center and receiver on Thursday. Getting a pair of Def Tech ST-L super towers, a mythos ten, and a Marantz SR-7010. Fucking psyched.
