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.

Colonoscopy

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.

I'm gonna laugh when a lot of these "strong" men wake up one morning with their balls cut off and stuffed in their mouth by some "weak" woman. Talk about living in the past.

I see y'all still don't understand how bail and pretrial detention work. Garza is a huge turd, but for not prosecuting, not for failing to keep petty criminals locked up for weeks or months prior to trial.

Octopuses is correct. You don’t use a Latin plural for a Greek root word.

Second, who the FUCK says Octopuses? It's fucking octopi. Anyone saying Octopuses should be corrected and violently mocked.From Miriam Webster:
What to Know
The three plurals for octopus come from the different ways the English language adopts plurals. Octopi is the oldest plural of octopus, coming from the belief that words of Latin origin should have Latin endings. Octopuses was the next plural, giving the word an English ending to match its adoption as an English word. Lastly, octopodes stemmed from the belief that because octopus is originally Greek, it should have a Greek ending.
I'm very much enjoying the pedantic language discussion!

Listen you fucking pedants and movie snobs, I said "farther" because I referred to taking steps. These steps were metaphorical, rather than physical, so further could have also been correct, but both are acceptable uses. That "rule" didn't even become a rule until the 1980's and before that the terms were used almost interchangeably.
The purpose of that scene in Finding Forrester is to illustrate that the teacher is a pedant who had clearly misunderestimated the titular character, and I don't think Van Sant was being overly prescriptive about how those terms should be used. It's like merlot sales plummeting because of a throwaway line in Sideways. Giamatti's character didn't want to drink merlot because his ex wife drank merlot, not because merlot is low brow or something. But everyone who likes wine saw that movie and took it as a signal that merlot was for pleebs and stopped drinking it. Great, more for me.
I bet you assholes correct people when they say "octopuses" too.
Very similar to the way Bugs Bunny called Elmer Fudd a real Nimrod (referring to the legendary hunter) and we all context clued out the sarcasm and assumed it meant "moron". To this day most people think a Nimrod is a moron.

My 80 year old Dad, will be 81 in August still plays 4 games a week in the Austin Geezer Softball league. Some of his happy hour friends came to watch them play and one of the ladies said it looked like little league with beards. He still runs the bases and plays outfield. I'm pretty sure he's in better shape than I am.

I don't have a problem with it. I heckle players on occasion but it's always about their play or maybe their appearance if they have stupid hair or something. Going after someone's family is a no no in my book.

One thing I remember is that up to that big chamber they are talking about with all the various passages coming off, there were multiple strings of twine that went off in various directions from people using that to find their way back. That's as far as I ever went and only the one time because the squeeze to get there was not pleasant. I was 140 lbs back then and it was tight as fuck for me. You had to go through with your arms in front of you and inch worm your way for at least 10 feet and it seemed like a mile. Your clothes would hang on stuff and sometimes you'd feel like you were stuck and would have to shift your position to angle your shoulders right. I'm in a cold sweat just remembering it 40 years later. We had those cheap ass flashlights too that would just randomly dim out and you had to shake them. In retrospect, like many of the things we did when young, it was pretty damned stupid based on our level of preparedness. No foot, no water, one extra set of batteries, no helmets. Dumb, dumb, dumb.

Airmen's Cave? I was friends with one of the three that got stuck back there in '07. Buddy was the guy who called it in around 5am. Crazy enough of a story to ensure I'll never set foot in there.
Yeah I think that's what it was called. It was a short hike from the loop 360 entrance. I remember that story too. That was about 15 years after my last time in there. I remember it was mostly low but large chambers back to around 150 yards in and then there was a truly terrifying squeeze that I seem to remember was around 10 or 12 feet of just inching along and then it opened up into a fairly big chamber but I only attempted that once. We usually stopped in that last room before that which you could actually stand up in. Those guys that got stuck were way back in there. I never trusted a flashlight that much.
-
When I was young we used to go to that cave on the Barton Creek greenbelt before they closed it. Within the first 10 feet or so there was a 4 or 5 foot squeeze like that and I did it multiple times with no issues. Then one day on the way out as I was inching myself along I suddenly thought of all that rock over me and now I can't even watch these videos. That was my last time in a non-tourist cave.

The correct mechanic is to see the ball into the glove and then check the runner. There can be no out if the ball is not in the glove and the fielder touching the base. He made that call before the ball ever hit the glove. Bad umpiring period.

I would have happily broken her arm and dislocated her shoulder to get her to let go of that other woman. Fuck that drunk bitch.

A legit question to me is why hasn't there been an increase in the overall skill level and athleticism among the bigs in women's basketball?
Not trying to be funny, not trying to troll anyone, serious question.
Clark's skills are not unique to the game of basketball so why don't we see higher developed skills coming out of college?
There has been a ton of money poured into women's collegiate sports, the WNBA is almost 30 years old so this isn't new or just catching on.
As far as big, I watched parts of two TCU games last year, one versus ND and the other South Carolina and I couldn't believe how unathletic the bigs seemed on the floor. Prince played flat footed, heck the other bigs the same. It was as if I was watching female clones of Bill Robizine and yet if I watch women's volleyball in college I see multiple players over 6' who can get up off the floor and play above the eight foot net.
I am not expecting a 6'3-4" post to drop step and dunk like I see in can commonly see in a guys' high school game, but in those two games the bigs are playing below the net.
I coached girls basketball for a while years ago. Coming from the men's game I had many of these same questions even back then. First, don't equate skill and athleticism. While they often go hand in hand in the best player they aren't necessarily the same thing. I watch Texas and some random games and I would submit that the skill level among bigs is quite high. The biggest difference in the volleyball vs basketball is contact. Elite female players are really good at using their lower bodies to steal your power. When I coached I interned a few college players from around Austin who wanted to get into coaching and I found that playing against them was an enlightening experience in the use of hip and ass pressure and contact to disrupt your movement and dampen your athletic advantage.
Now don't get me wrong, women generally aren't great leapers and the bigger they are the worse it gets. The women's game is never going to be as athletic as the men's but skill levels are getting closer every year as the women's game become more popular and gets better coaching and training. Men will almost always be able to overpower women, but shooting and touch aren't that much different IMO. The best bigs in the women's game are all about body position, establishing space, and touch around the basket. I prefer the men's game because it's faster and cleaner because men are built for power and speed. Women are built for endurance and stability. Those differences aren't going to change any time soon.

I don't think tfg has the stones to go after the intelligence services in a real way. He knows they're smarter and more ruthless than him.
Unfortunately it's happening.
Just one example.

I don't worry too much about the military. It's the gutting of the intelligence services that scares the shit out of me. It's hard to hide that shit, but if the intelligence community is fucked, we all are.

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.
