  1. At least Bolsonaro may lose in Brazil? For some reason, realizing much of the world is nearly as dumb/racist/greedy as us is not particularly reassuring.
  2. The lion from Narnia? You do you, bro
  3. The trauma of 2008 gets more manageable over time, but it never goes away.
  4. No shit. If you want to curb immigration, go after the hypocritical fucks who hire them in the first place. Of course, then they will bitch about prices of goods and services rising. It's much easier to lay the problem at the feet of the Democrat party. So fucking dumb.
  5. I'm not sure what it was that flipped your opinion of this team going into the Bama game, but I like it.
  6. When do we find out if the appeal of Overshown's suspension is successful?
  7. Yea, that looked not great. Glad that dude is up
  8. Just turned this game on since the ncaaf morning slate is trash. Damn, Son!!

    Haven't paid as much attention this last week with football starting, but it's starting to look like getting behind every game isn't necessarily a sustainable winning strategy.
  10. I'm curious how tickets and pricing work for the US open. I imagine the main courts are their own ticket and you can get entry to multiple of the smaller courts on a single ticket? I'd love to go to even a non-major professional tournament.
  11. Cilic is the only men's player with a grand slam title still playing, correct?
  12. That was one of the first points I saw when I turned on the match. A point that would have otherwise given Kyrgios a break point opportunity, no less.
  13. Just turned on the Serena match. These two can both rip it.

    I played growing up, but probably played a dozen times the last 15 years. I moved to Austin a couple years ago and one of my buddies has been getting into the sport so I've started playing a lot more. Wife just surprised me with a Babolat pure strike so I can finally hang up the 20+ year-old Wilson whatever that probably hasn't been regripped or restrung in a decade. Can't wait to try it out.
  15. I did a Portland, Columbia River Gorge (before some dumbass kid burned down the Eagle Creek Trail with fireworks), Bend, Crater Lake, Oregon coast, Portland road trip with the now-wife about 7 years ago. It was incredible. I don't know how we fit that all in 8 days. Crater Lake is mesmerizing.
  16. I went there in 2013 for a game against Wazzou. I got drunk off of aggy tears (and four loko) watching the texas a&m Manziels snatch defeat from the jaws of victory prior to the Ducks game, so it's all pretty hazy. They wore pink helmets and the people around us seemed to tolerate three drunken Longhorn fans who were at their game for some reason. I have no recommendations, but here's a picture. Hope that helps!
  17. If I wasn't so pissed about immigrants, student loan forgiveness and wokeism, I would definitely think we should direct some attention to this whole climate change thing. But alas, bigger fish to fry at the moment...
  18. China is experiencing a taste of what we all have to look forward to And before you come here to post "Hey, the Yangtze River is still there, NBD!", EuroHorn, lowest levels in recorded history seems kind of significant.

    Sweet, I'm going at the moody center in a couple of weeks.
  20. Perhaps it's a step on the way to making things catastrophic instead of apocalyptic. Obviously we're not going to avoid consequences, but limiting them is still important. Would have been nice if we started taking this shit seriously, oh, 30+ years ago.
  21. They are definitely a group of people who also think they know everything because they are really good at one (albeit very important) thing.

    Goal #2*** So much action at that end tonight. I had hardly watched a soccer game outside of the world cup until attending a couple games this year, and now I try to at least record each game. And goals in person are so fun to experience.

    I was in GA tonight. That was a good time. This was the corner prior to goal #1. Driussi's game-winner was awesome.
  24. And just like that, rain chances cut in half for Austin the next couple days. Cool cool cool...
  25. When our lease is up in a year and are looking to buy, I may be pushing my wife to look out of state as well. Living here is a beating politically and weather wise. In related human-destroying-planet news, we managed to kill off the world's largest freshwater fish. Something that 140 million years of natural disasters failed to do.
