  1. I mean, seriously. The epitome of poking the bear and FAFO in succession since that day.
  2. Because we live in a world of scarcity. It's truly that simple.
  3. From your mouth to God's ears because I could use the five large (and it would be funny as an anti-OKC fan).
  4. I just listened to a podcast interview with the CEO of Cursor. Wow. One of my friends just got a job with Windsurf AI which is hiring a ton right now in Austin in high-growth/scale mode btw if anyone wants on a rocketship IMO and is in the area.

    "Bring it" songs

    I have a single "bring it song". It's very vulgar and visceral but speaks to me on an animalian and preternatural level. It's a song that you put in a "Break Glass in Case of Emergency" because you I can only listen to it if I'm really going to slide.
  6. For my money (and John Goodman is one of my favorite all-timers):
  7. $.36 (+$1000) let's go IND! Though I can't say I feel good about Indiana winning this series. This game felt like fools gold in that if OKC even plays 10% better and make some FT's they would have won easily. Just my opinion from what I saw. Plus knowing that the Nuggets had OKC down 1-2 and OKC still pulled it out isn't comforting.
  8. Myles Turner owns you Chet! Blouses!
  9. Saw this today and thought it was funny:
  10. I and about 10,000 others were in the movie The Rookie (2002) starring Dennis Quad. Just in the crowd of a baseball game.
  11. "Amazon coders say their jobs now resemble warehouse work": Pushed to use artificial intelligence, software developers at the e-commerce giant say they must work faster and have less time to think. Others welcome the shift. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/25/business/amazon-ai-coders.html
  12. Encino man with a current teenager nephew. “This is what passed for comedy in the 90’s bro?” Was the reoccurring theme of feedback along with thinking Pauly Shore’s character was gay. It made me think, back then we didn’t really have mainstream gay characters in mainstream movies and they were just whacky. If encino man was made today, maybe Stoney is a gay highschool supporting character and not just “zesty” as the kids say.
  13. The goal is growth and knowledge and, God willing, ultimately a modicum of wisdom. Even though I'm an ancient person.
  14. @WhatTheBuck @Biff Tannen @wildcat09 - I was wrong. For some reason I thought I remembered that Iran was caught openly flaunting JCPOA but I just looked it up and was wrong-- all the IAEA and flagarant violations were right AFTER Trump pulled us out of the agreement (for reasons I'm still not able to understand) I had misremembered it being before. Or maybe I heard some misinformation at some point and took it as gospel. Either way-- sorry for the derail around JCPOA because you guys are correct. So let's just go back to that, eh?
  15. Wild Robot. I thought it would be better than it was. Thought it was going to be a grittier or better Wall-E, but was inferior in all respects.
  16. I follow you now. I agree the-- whipsaw or roughshod, I guess I'll call it-- way that Trump went about it was not helpful, but I think most who were paying attention saw the JCPOA as an imperfect deal with a bad actor who was doing the bare minimum in optics to keep sanctions off their back. https://www.rand.org/pubs/commentary/2025/05/the-revenge-of-the-jcpoa.html Hank you are Persian. Would have never guessed. You and that other guy who posts here related?
  17. From Semafor (below) that confirms that when unofficial negotiations between Biden’s team and Iran collapsed, U.S. officials cited Iran’s refusal to cooperate on UN nuclear inspections. Specifically, Iran resisted addressing uranium traces found at undeclared sites and blocked International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors. This lack of transparency led Western nations to pass a censure resolution against Iran at the IAEA. https://www.semafor.com/article/06/05/2024/iran-west-tensions-nuclear-transparency-uranium-inspections So yea, I guess if you turn a blind eye to someone not honoring the deal you can pretend the deal is a great success. It's like your wife cheating on you and pretending like you don't know about it so you can say you have a healthy marriage to others. By the way, life comes at you fast and progress enables speed. What took a year in Obama's day to enrich the uranimum and make a nuke, they can now do in days and since Trump's election they've gone from enriching 16 lbs of uranium per month to 75 lbs (and apparently for civilian use you only need a fraction of that, so clearly they are building)
  18. Never gets old. The epitome of infectious laughter.
  19. Pretty cool. And your dad looked like he was awesome for back then.
  20. This is probably the best Italian restaurant I've ever been to (note: I've never been to Italy or the original in NYC): https://carminesnyc.com/locations/washington-dc
  21. Maybe ultimately it's all bluster and comes to nothing and Iran just acts antaganostic as always, but at least it smells like a hint of progress. The alternatives we've seen are either a) JCPOA which according to satellite images and readings Iran was openly flaunting and blowing through civilian grade restrictions to nuclear level uranium enrichment and b) Iran not accepting any foreign oversite. The problem here is Iran not the myriad of countries in a global society trying to come together and be creative in their thinking to police them.
  22. An account with 184 followers has achieved de-escalation between two of the most powerful people in the world.
  23. Okay right-- of course and sure-- I couldn't tell due to how it was worded if you were offering anything deeper than a nod to the historical. At the end of the day the only real way to keep a country for becoming a nuclear state when you don't want them to be one is to strike militarily. And in this climate I think everyone is looking around and seeing that those countries who went rogue and developed nukes are probably better off in a "might is right" world we currently inhabit than those who took the Western's paternal offer of protection in exchange for giving up a nuclear program (e.g. Ukraine).
