  1. socks that slip and bunch up. i got these muji "right angle socks" that are supposed to be the antidote to that, they're constructed with big heel cup woven at 90* to fit perfectly in theory, except theyre the slippiest socks ive worn. trash.
  2. "Don't defend the water cycle bro. Wet streets causes rain." Hurr durr.
  3. You realize the fundamental error in your understanding of causal relationship right? Companies grow to be large and generate wealth for its owners *because* customers have an affinity for its products and investors have an affinity for its business.
  4. NFL career 2:1 TD ratio, threw 4000 yards last year, beat the defending conf champs in playoffs, made the probowl, and has near 110 rating this season. Like with the Murray midget, I hate them, but I recognize that they can play ball…
  5. What part is cherry picked? The fact that Musk was the 4th person in Tesla, joining the now-250 months old company 6 months after it was founded, and as the majority owner and actual chair, had authority over the company? When you say the company was “established” -- when Eberhard was kicked out -- it had produced 0 cars, the Model S hadnt been designed, 3 years before IPO, and would go on to accumulate $6 billion dollars of net losses over the next 13 years…. …and you want crown the first 2 guys for “having the plan” 13 years and 1,000,000 vehicles sold later? That is an amazingly bad understanding of business and history. It’s just that easy? You just build a cheaper one after the other - and it will be no surprise to have a profitable business? When the entire public market signaled (through its equity) for 9 straights years that it didnt believe the company would get anywhere, and the company was on the verge of bankruptcy, you just knew success was no surprise? The revisionism is amazing.
  6. People are only dishonest with themselves when they let their emotion trump their objectivity. Like, you can hate Baker but still admit that hes a better QB than Colt.
  7. Can you explain a little more about what “it” was that got rolling, which idea was claimed, and what relations those 2 founders have to the Tesla company that’s now put over 5 million cars on the road. Musk being ‘just an investor’ was actually the majority owner — ie capitalizing most of the company (and as chair led subsequent funding). That occurred some 6 months into its incorporation. The original founder got booted before Tesla ever sold a single car - the first of which was on a Lotus chassis, totaling 2500 unit in its lifetime. Over a decade later, Tesla achieved profitability for the first time ever, on the backs of mass production of the Model 3. How much of that credit do you want to appoint to the initial employees?
  8. that would be a caffe corretto
  9. Astounding discovery. You’ve just cracked the secret of how to break into and compete/lead multiple industries: get a marketer to tell people to “make X”. Like, “build me the best selling car in the world, chop chop”. Someone should tell Bezos.
  10. My 1601 (i think thats the ref). A blue shantung/mosaic when i was looking for a blue linen
  11. he probably likes the attention and influence of HC, whereas the other gig is just a job, which is not what a man with money really needs
  12. Lee Corso'ed
  13. brainless zombie movies >> marvel/comic cgi slop
  14. Maybe not entirely fair. Hunter has to shoulder that. He's 2-way player, he sought out Prime who was multi-role player (who else would want to go to Jackson State...). Supposedly, he has a very boring off-field life, and commits lots of time to conditioning and recovery. I think he knows what he wants, and his playtime is not merely being pushed by Deion.
  15. speaking of DJ textured dials, dang this one is nice https://www.chrono24.com/rolex/rolex-oyster-perpetual-datejust-silver-linen-16234-1989-full-set--id34652216.htm
  16. i want one of these as a scootaround vehicle but theyre stupidly-priced and you cant 'own' them - the batterys are leased
  17. Thought Fury Road was simply a tighter, more energetic movie. Furiosa meandered longer than it should've been to try to explain the the sequel, when my expectation for the franchise was kinetic action and spectacular visuals, not storyweaving. Tom and Charlize are more magnetic than Anja and this dude. Thor wasn't bad but the slightly comic tone strikes a contrast to the rest of the hardcore characters. Overall entertaining movie but nothing new. Just feels like a 2nd serving of steak after chowing down a porterhouse.
  18. do you have issue with the speakers causing the turntable to skip on loud passages? -- they're so close to each other and on the same surface what did you end up getting. problem with wireless headphones in wired mode is that it typically sounds worse. the drivers are tuned for the digital amplification from the wireless source and when piped an analog signal its not the best. sony v6/7506 are classic 'monitor' with good bass response. sennheiser open backs are the popular detailed headphones but they have lots of models and depending on which it requires proper amplification. nice chairs
  19. "Help step-bro, I'm stuck in the walk-in"
  20. There was a post on the game thread saying that benching him would hurt his draft stock. I dont know man having an inconsistent deep ball, being injury prone, playing gun shy, and having random regressions is kinda bad for your draft stock too.
  21. C- performance.
  22. motherfucker redshirted his entire 20s
  23. “Looking for a QB with Rizz…”
