  1. Netflix hiking again on premium and basic (I'm sure Standard will hike in month or two)...
  2. In today's NIL the thought of having to commit $100+ million on coaches and not players.
  3. I'm not a heavy consumer and don't have a presence to speak of, but I guess I saw the verified celebrity/known person blue mark as just gatekeeping much like news companies of old and today. You got/get the news and the version of the news they want to convey in the light they choose to convey it. Nothing wrong with that but I don't feel they should on that alone be above others covering the same story/information. I've got a cultivated list of people I personally like or choose to trust, but that's based on my opinion of them. As for Musk caring, I meant he doesn't need to worry about growing profits, but certainly needed to make the company sustainable in the short term. It appears he's done that with cuts and continued its growth in face of competition.
  4. Agreed, but that is a short term view of a company concerned with making money now. Elon has the advantage of not caring short term. Lots of people will always feel the "old" twitter is better, but long term those aren't the people he wants using twitter. To me the current Middle East conflict is supporting his point on fake news. Why should it be up to X employees to determine fake or not when the masses will quickly determine and verify it on their own.
  5. It's the expense and difficulty in setting up tens of thousands of verifiable payment accounts that is the purpose of it, not the actual $1 amount. I have to think it will indeed have an impact.
  6. Ouch that's going to sting when he's kicking their ass at Saban coaching retred academy as the OC.
  7. 9:30? damn. 9 is hard enough on a Tuesday. At least we're not Philadelphia who plays there next Tuesday. That game doesn't start until MIDNIGHT EST.
  8. Likewise. I was shocked on opening night when ESPN+ said I could watch... and actually was able to. Always blacked out in past.
  9. But don't most religions believe their God is their creator, the creator of humans?
  10. I've always wondered if a "God" exists, why are there so many religions.
  11. I get NIL is the primary driver, but I'm thinking it's a lot easier for Mizzou to convince him to stay home when the guy they're telling him to watch to see what it would be like has 100+ yds in 6 of 7 games this year.
  12. Burden effect isn't a factor in Wingo recruitment? You have to be kidding. It's a huge factor. Burden NIL in Missouri is everywhere. His family can walk into any store in the state and get Luther Burden merchandise. He is the face of the program and doing very well on the field and certainly doing well with NIL. They are selling Wingo on being the next face of the program and having his face plastered everywhere. It's like being Mr Football in a small town but now it's the entire state. It's a huge factor in his recruitment and the one thing no other school can offer.
  13. This one is pretty good, great ending
  14. I was about 20ft from you apparently, so while agreeing with your assessment, I do so after throwing away my stack of Texas sized beer cups.
  15. Aggy likely going to need to beat Ole Miss if they want a win against a team with a winning record this year....
  16. Looch isn't paid enough to put up his followers. They don't even realize how difficult it is to constantly try to provide a morsel of hope for them week in week out. They choose to pay him and support the machine, yet act like he has some power over the program. Does he look like a guy who has any pull? Without his gift of hope, think how miserable their weekly reality would be year in year out.
  17. They also have never had an undefeated season in Class-5A-D1... 2023 might be the year
  18. smaller homes/households = smaller emissions, makes sense
  19. Ahh, that's probably it, simple mistake, workers accidentally given wrong coordinates I bet.
  20. This is what I see as well. WVU gets left out because of step #5
  21. Yep, when you post your mug shot on your IG feed. She also has Charlie Strong level finger game going on. damn
  22. That was not a cheap undertaking. They should also heavily fine/ban from public projects the construction company (his) that performed the construction without permits.
