  1. That seems awfully familiar. Have we seen this episode before?
  2. Morale is really low. I’m coming to work tomorrow dressed as a chicken.
  3. Meanwhile the Mavs are riding the Greg Oden roller coaster with AD, and I would happily wish that on them any day of the week.
  4. yeah yeah, I got much more interesting stories, just lemme know when you're done.
  5. Let me summarize the argument: 'Only 3.8% of the children abused by Catholic priests were prepubescent, so it's not fair to call them all pedophiles. They were mostly teenage boys, which makes the priests homosexuals, and thus part of the LGBTQ movement, who are the real issue with society. Epstein also abused teenagers, so it's not fair to call him a pedo. Please stop calling us pedos!!!'
  6. How fitting would it be if a bunch of emails ruin Trump after he spent his whole 2016 campaign complaining about Hillary's emails?? Every accusation is a confession really rings true...
  7. The 15 vs 8 year old thing may come into play if the trial is in Florida, since they just passed a law allowing the death penalty for pdf files who abuse children under 12. How awesome would it be if he's sentenced to death under a law passed by 'Meatball Ron'?
  8. I got to 10 minutes on the bus this morning, then switched it to something else. What a fucking idiot trying to defend Nico. I'm no Mavs fan, but fuck carrying water for that moron. We have all heard all the analysis of the trade and how the Mavs might have been sold on it, but we don't need to delve into how Nico might have thought he was doing the right thing. Nobody cares if he thought they could win with AD and Kyrie, they can't and won't do it, they will fail. The only question I have about it is if Nico was bribed by the Lakers to make the trade. If he ends up working for the Lakers any time in the future, there should be an investigation.
  9. Reed was awful on defense in the Spurs game. He was ball watching several times and his man, Castle a few times, cut to the hoop for an easy pass and layup. He was getting lost in defensive rotations sometimes and the unguarded Spur would cut to the hoop or have an open 3. It was awful, but kind of understandable for a 21 year old second year player. He wasn't supposed to get this many minutes this year and he barely played last year, so he has a steep learning curve. Give him time though, and I think he will be a solid rotation player.
  10. When you get down to basics, aren't we all simply just vehicles for cheese?
  11. Reed is figuring it out. If he can be a 3 machine, it will help cover up his defensive liabilities.
  12. I haven't seen that version of Scrooge, anyone got a link?
  13. Whenever I think of this trade, I picture Miriam Adelson as Lucille Bluth talking to Michael and saying something like: Michael: We need to extend Luka before the season starts, he's our best player. Miriam: He's a white basketball player, how much could he cost? 10 dollars? Michael: You haven't actually watched a basketball game before, have you? He is an MVP candidate and his max extension is $350 million dollars. Miriam: I don't care I'm not spending that, trade him for one of those tall athletic (cartoonish wink) guys instead. Now, I have to get ready for a fundraiser.
  14. Yeah, him at 100% would be awesome, but you're right, he won't be back until Spring of 2026. He also has 2+1 years left on his deal, and he's not going to decline that player option of 30m. Too expensive for the risk, unless NOLA throws in some picks, which they might actually be willing to do. Another guy that costs about the same and may be gettable is Jrue Holiday. The problem is he also has a 2+1 deal with a PO and it's 32/34/37m over those 3 years. Likely too expensive for Houston, but wow would be be a great fit here. Other guys that are cheaper and more realistic are Schroeder, Sexton, Pritchard, Jamal Shead and Quickley. Sexton is an interesting option with an 18m expiring deal, and being on the Hornets. They don't value anyone it seems, so he may be cheap to acquire.
  15. If Dejonte Murray would ever get healthy, I bet the Pelicans would give us a 1st round pick to take him.
  16. Davis for Lebron straight up
  17. It would be really funny if the batter was also tipping off some gamblers that his first AB would have a swing and miss on the first pitch, and it turns out all these degenerates are betting against each other and ruining each other's schemes.
  18. I think this is just Disney trying to recoup some subscriptions after losing a couple million subs in protest over the Jimmy Kimmel thing. Also it makes people aware of the whole ESPN/Hulu streaming service. There's probably a good chunk of their subs that don't know there is more than D+.
  19. 1. Curb 2. Sopranos 3. Game of Thrones Seasons 1-6 Love that old intro, gonna see if I can turn it into a Plex preroll intro video.
  20. That was an incredible catch, nice job Hoosiers.
  21. Maybe Indiana isn't as good as their record indicates?
  22. Derrick White is great at defense though. In the playoffs our lack of D at the 1 will really show if they don't find someone else. He can hit threes, share the ball and run an offense when needed. I think he would be the perfect fit if Boston is willing to listen. Plus the Celtics are taking the year off, so sitting on FVV this year won't hurt them. Toss in a Suns pick and a couple others and they might go for it.
  23. I work in Data Center management for a huge company with presence in many DC colos around the world. Finding space in these smaller third party vendors isn't difficult, they all have tons of unused space because so many companies have migrated to cloud in the last 10 years. I know several vendors with plenty of open spaces in Houston, Dallas and Austin. Not sure what pricing would be for a single cabinet, but we were generally getting 1k per month per cabinet for the space we wanted to build. It's much larger at 30-40 cabinets, so there is a decent discount built-in to that pricing. What's special about this Dallas space? Why not Austin where you live and are able to service the equipment? Are you factoring the power costs, circuits, and maintenance on top of the lease cost? If you plan on using the DC "smart hands" techs to fix things, you need to budget a lot for that too. Are you planning to have a mirror DR site? If you want to handle data, you need to have an off site backup plan. What kind of hardware are you planning on buying to provide the service? My company sends lots of older equipment to e-waste that is often re-sold, and can be bought for cheap by little guys like you looking to squeeze more life out of them. You could look into purchasing hardware from a source like that and save a lot on the startup costs.
  24. 100 Republicans are now willing to release the files? Oh, well then I'm sure they have finally been scrubbed of anything that will harm Trump and we will never get to know the details of him and his buddies' crimes. But hey, at least Clinton and Gates will get criminal charges, that should be some great smoke and mirrors to cover all the other heinous shit we will see over the next 3 years. Again, fuck you Merrick Garland, you worthless fucking skunk.
