  1. It was a piss poor effort all around, but Pope just kills this offense with his random dribbling.  Guys have no idea where he's going so it makes everything disjointed.  He also has no sense of the game.  We went on a little run in the first half to get it within 10 and dumb shit comes down the floor and heat checks a 3 from 6 feet beyond the arc with 25 seconds left on the shot clock that catches all our guys by surprise, ends up in a run out by Virginia and all momentum is lost and we never got close again.

    Another thing: performance shirts. Every shirt I see online --- Pancho and all the rest ---- cost 130 buck and are "performance"  shirts.  Damn. I just want a shirt. A regular shirt. One made of cotton or maybe wool, as they have been my entire life.  Now I gotta buy "performance" shirts and pay a premium for it because it's a performance shirt? WTF?   How did they take something so simple, so elemental, as a shirt and manage to enshittify it?  

    Carhart is your friend. 80% of my casual wear is their pocket Ts short or long sleeve. Sized right, don't shrink, and sturdy.  $30.

    That's great.

    I forgot that I've also seen a wild pitch or two on occasions when pitchers were attempting to intentionally walk a batter.

    There are all sorts of ways that making 'em actually throw the pitches can affect the game.  I realize they changed the rule to speed up the game, but the old IBBs didn't take that much time.  They should go back to the way it used to be done.

    I looked but couldn't find exact stats, but the various quotes indicate that incidents like the ones you cited were "vanishingly small".  That makes the ones that did happen noticeable, but in the grand scheme they determined that the vast majority of the time the guy just walked as intended so why waste the time?  I don't really miss it.

    Cincinnati up 10-0 and driving again on Iowa State.  Their 5'8" running back just absolutely trucked someone.  The Clones may be in trouble.

    That poor kid's position meeting this week is going to be hell. He's going to see that clip 100 times.

    I can absolutely BUY a firearm much faster than I can rent a car. Unless you’re a member of their “preferred” program (where you get to just get in your car and go), all car rental experiences are awful.

    It's free to join the rewards program so that's what I did. I probably travel once a year or less and it's still worth it to avoid the counter.

  6. Y'all count internet points and I'm the special one?  I've had Anastasis on ignore for years ever since he lost his mind.  I guess Derka didn't notice the pos rep I gave him too on several other threads, but then again, I'm not sure why I'm surprised considering the glaring lack of self awareness he exhibits at times.

  7. Just had mine. Five polyps. Doc says if only one or two are precancerous I'm on the 5 year plan.  Three were, so now I'm on the 3 year plan. Son of a...

    the problem is the likelihood of recurrence and it seems like he's adamant about not doing surgery to fix whatever it is. this is going to shadow him even when/if he comes back.

    You don't have any idea what the root cause is, but you seem awfully confident in your statements about it.  Are you one of his doctors? Do you know something that no one else does, or do you just like running your mouth?

    I'm not positing some new theory, but in what way are modern women "weak" and subject to being assimilated by another tribe?  Do they not have the capability of acquiring the same weapons men can acquire, and using them with the same skill?  We aren't slugging it out with fists, swords, and knives in close combat any more.  I'd much rather piss off some rando on MoPac than my wife.

    The first time my oldest daughter picked up a .22 rifle when she was 9 years old, she shot a bullseye group about a half inch across at 30 yards with open sights and about 10 minutes of instruction.  I promise you don't want to try to out shoot her even today. Sure you'd beat her in a fist fight, but she's too smart to engage you there.  You'd never see it coming.
