  1. Hell yeah. Was out there several times and he always put on a show. My claim to fame is when Arnold Palmer hit one off the right side of number 9, I think, as I was walking by so I got to be right by him and he flicked his cig right at my feet just before he hit. Full swing prep, he had it in his mouth.
  2. Got her for the titty grab. Definitely a foul.
  3. Yes. Dead for but for the formalities. Nature can be a real bitch sometimes.
  4. Here's some nightmare fuel for you. Yes that's a wasp dragging a dead spider up my office window.
  5. I just read The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. If you think the Nazi comparisons are over the top, I suggest you read/listen to it. If I wasn't already concerned, which I was, that took it to another level. The similarities are pretty hard to ignore.
  6. Years ago when I first started in IT our help desk was 3 people in a room in the basement of the hospital where I worked. Two of them had their desks back to back so they were facing each other. The one was the team lead and she's still a friend of mine. Really great person. The other was a big black dude who is also still a friend, who played football and basketball at Copperas Cove and had both Hal Mumme and Billy Gillespie as his coaches. Anyway one day he switched the connections so his keyboard was attached to her computer. She gets a call and starts typing away and he's over there just typing gibberish very quietly. I happen to walk in about 2 minutes in while she's saying things like "what is wrong with my keyboard" etc. She's starting to get really annoyed and he starts typing stuff like "stop touching me" and "why won't you leave me alone?" and she's starting to freak out a little. Finally he can't stand it anymore and starts laughing and she realizes what's going on. Very professionally she asks the customer to hold while she restarts her PC and then she calls him an asshole and we all, including her, start laughing like 10 year olds. It was a good 5 minutes before she could get back on that call. Once she got off the call she tells us she was genuinely concerned that her PC was possessed or something. I still laugh thinking about it.
  7. Thanks. That sucks, but I suppose it makes sense.
  8. Correct me if I'm wrong, but whatever the plaintiffs get out of this would only count towards the full judgment right? The bankruptcy doesn't discharge the judgement right? So if he started a new grift, couldn't they just keep taking his money?
  9. My wife (no pics) is on a team that that does accounting for the research arm and half of her team is not in Austin. Let's say there was not good communication on this. Her boss didn't know until the letter was sent out.
  10. Speaking of room temperature IQs, why y'all keep quoting Crispy? You're defeating my ignore.
  11. Love the setting. Really captured the feeling of the time when the wall came down. One of my favs. Charlize is perfect.
  12. I don't know if they can file a protest on this, but I would if I could. That is, by far, the worst call I've seen in years and that's saying something. Ump show.
  13. To me this highlights one of "AI"s biggest failings. Will it ever understand parody, satire, sarcasm, etc? Seems like 90% of the content on the internet is people making funny (to them) comments and absurdities for humor or whatever. AI in it's current state is just an information collator that doesn't even understand the information it's using. People say it will get better, but I just don't see it. It's basically an autistic person with unlimited memory. It can regurgitate but will never understand enough of the subtlety of human thought and communication to be in any way useful as a tool except in very limited circumstances.
  14. Another fine Keanu Reeves masterpiece.
  15. I got one of those umpiring slow pitch softball of all things. Ball bounced of the packed ground and straight up. I was wearing a cup, but when it comes from below like that it doesn't protect very well. I sympathize.
  16. My favorite one was when they were talking to Mookie Betts during a spring training game his first year with the Dodgers. Ball smoked down the right field line as they pause for the pitch. Mookie: "Uh oh! Not gonna get that one!"
  17. Make sure you stay for the credits. You won't be disappointed.
  18. Ditto. Captured the spirit of the TV show perfectly and it's fucking hilarious. The stunts are fantastic. Really fun movie.
  19. He's on trial for falsifying business records to cover up the payoff. All the election interference, affair cover up stuff is just to make it look more interesting.
  20. Y'all don't have Make em eat taco bell on ignore? I'm sorry for you. Wrong but never in doubt is his MO.
  21. My Dad could have written this. His loathing of horses from my Mom having a couple is unbounded. He said they violate his brain/body size ratio.
  22. I enjoyed the movie. Highly fictionalized might be an understatement. On the actual Operation Postmaster, there were, in fact, no Nazis, no uboats, and no explosions. It was actually just a well executed cutting out of the freighter and the tugs. It did demonstrate the effectiveness of the SOE and SSRF in conducting raids to stymie the German war effort. It's a lot more fun to see a bunch of Nazis slaughtered though.
