If Guilbeau opts out, would we even notice?

Latvia's man shortage has sparked a strange new industry: The hourly husband https://www.tbsnews.net/offbeat/latvias-man-shortage-has-sparked-strange-new-industry-hourly-husband-1303376 Statistically, the country has a full-blown "man drought," with 15.5% more women than men, a gap more than three times the average across the European Union. Among seniors, the divide becomes even more dramatic: women over 65 outnumber men two to one, says the New York Post. Researchers say there's no mystery behind the imbalance. Latvian men simply don't live as long. They smoke far more frequently than women-31% of them smoke, compared to just 10% of women-and carry higher rates of overweight and obesity. Poor diet, inconsistent healthcare habits, and leftover post-Soviet lifestyle patterns have caused men to die younger for decades. In a small country, this adds up quickly. Fewer men reach middle age, and even fewer make it into retirement. The imbalance has quietly reshaped the population. But while demographers debate the health crisis, Latvian women have adopted a far more immediate solution: if the country doesn't have enough men, they'll hire one. Across Latvia, services offering "husbands for an hour" have exploded in popularity. Companies like Komanda24 promise to send over "Men With Golden Hands"-a delightful piece of branding for workers who show up to fix leaky pipes, mount televisions, repair cabinets, or bring any misbehaving household appliance back in line. Another service, Remontdarbi.lv, takes the concept even further by branding its handymen explicitly as rented husbands. Customers book online or by phone, and within a short time, a man appears at the door-not to flirt, not to argue about weekend plans, but simply to paint the walls or fix the curtains. The concept turns the traditional "handy husband" trope into a straightforward commercial transaction. No relationship required, no awkward dates involved, and no need to pretend anyone is assembling an IKEA bookshelf for love. In a country where women jokingly describe a "nationwide husband vacuum," the service has become a practical fix for the demographic gap.

You can take the aggy out of Collie Station but you can't take the jizz out of aggy.

Stupidly, years ago I spent too many lessons at GolfTec hitting on mats and a simulator. Chunky shots are not punished any where near as much as they are punished on the course. Also with drivers, I would always hit big slinging hooks on simulators but ball flight on the course was very slight draw or straight. Also find that hitting irons on mats on the simulator and range also leads my balls to draw much more than on the course. Probably not the answer you're looking for but from experience, I wouldn't take the ball flights and distances as gospel.

Holy shit you dipshits: 9-3 Texas is probably in the playoffs

So 9-3 did not make the playoffs? I was told we were dipshits to think otherwise. -

Could this be the craziest coaching carousel of all time?

So are you making an argument for my case that PSU shit the bed with this hire? -
Fact, US companies are getting their asses kicked by China and by default Chinese companies for all green products. EVs are probably the most glaring example. There are a few reasons why but our country's leadership being bought by O&G companies are a huge reason. Wrong or right, we're going to live and die by oil. Marques Brownlee has the below review on a Xiaomi EV. Yes, that same phone company Xiaomi. It's a really good watch to get an idea of what Chinese companies are putting out. It's especially awesome, or scary, that this is a "phone" company. I timestamped it at Marques' thoughts on the car and the EV landscape. But you should watch the whole thing to see how fucking awesome that car is.

PSU traded down and paid $9M to do so. No way anyone in their right minds pay $9M to hire a shittier coach. Matt Campbell wasn't even on PSU's radar because they didn't think they would have to settle for someone so low. B10 coaches: Day, Lanning, Cignetti, Riley. He's 5th if I'm being REALLY generous. -
So far my learnings of this douche is that he is linked to Paxton and Deshaun Watson, two subjects I don't give flying fucks about. Add those to this case where he's going to chase shadows and try to squeeze people out of money to appease some distraught, clueless mom, sounds to me like I should stay living under that rock bridge.
