  1. Past hour
  2. I was ready to call a Sengun/Giannis trade nuts but I just looked up his stats and Giannis is really, really well rounded. I’s probably favor standing pat because of health concerns (particularly due to age and mileage), but a healthy Giannis on this team is undoubtedly a stronger squad.
  3. Pickens responds to Richard Sherman's evaluation of him: https://www.threads.com/@nfltrades/post/DR5JM3HD_sX
  4. Marquette up 2-0 on 7 Western KY and Michigan up 2-0 on 8 Xavier
  5. Feel like I’ve seen them about half a dozen times this season on random nights, they’re not bad to watch.
  6. The Cowboys giving False Hope to yet another team...
  7. She really looks underage either way
  8. it was weak sauce
  9. Other candidates for worst TNG episode: The one where Crusher attends her grandma's funeral, and fucks a ghost she met there. The one where Data has a bunch of fucked up nightmares.
  10. I guess Lamar Brown and Geralds locked in with LSU and shut things down a bit ago. Anderson also now telling people he is happy with his decision. Oh well.
  11. That is a complex question. "Phasing out" is a price sensitive term, and human nature generally means anybody will do anything for the right price. Putting the LNG "sanctions" aside, at the end of the day, a spot cargo of Russian LNG will be cheaper than others, simply because the transit time from Russia is less than the US Gulf Coast, or the Middle East, or Australia. The capacity of the two Nordsteam Pipelines was ~ 10 BCF/day, which is ~ 4-5 world class LNG Plants. That is a big hole to fill. Russia's total LNG capacity is ~ 5 BCD, some of which was earmarked for Europe. Some of these came on line recently, in the Arctic and St. Petersburg, and how much they can actually produce is kind of a mystery. It is new enough, and given the challenges of the arctic, and Russia business in general, demonstrating reliability is a prerequisite for longer term contracts. In many cases, the companies/countries that need the LNG are also owners in the liquefaction/export facilities, so they take their ownership share of the LNG in-kind, rather than depending on third party sells. LNG is a very different animal than oil or refined products. In some cases, though there is a point to point "contract" for the LNG, that contract is in limbo until the ship docks at the destination. In times past, it was commonplace to have a ship change direction in transit and go to another destination, without any significant contract repercussions. While on the high seas, it is fair game for the highest bidder. Even within the local gas market, that information is closely guarded, because a huge influx of gas moves the market. US LNG costs will become more expensive, because the underlying demand for natural gas will increase. In the early 2000's, gas was expensive, so the US started building LNG import terminals. The Chenier Plant at Sabine Pass started as an import terminal in 2008. We received LNG imports into Louisiana ~ 2010 (I think we received 4 cargo's), and in 2012, Chenier received a FERC permit to building export facilities. The combination of horizontal drilling and hydraulic fracturing of shale, unlocked the gas resources, and all bets changed. Biden's election in 2020 changed the narrative, and Russia's Invasion and Nordstream's explosion spiked gas prices, for a bit. The Donald, and new reality of the US stepping in to fill the European void from losing Russian gas is not an issue from a resource/capacity perspective. The price of the LNG is the first big question. Domestic gas prices have doubled in the past few months. Cheap oil stops the drilling in the Permian, which is primarily based on oil economics. Appalachia is all gas, much higher near term gas potential than the Permian, but moving gas south to the Gulf Coast is limited by pipeline capacity. Sending US LNG gas to Europe while increasing domestic gas prices is going to leave a mark. The Eastern US is already seeing increased gas bills because of administrative and infrastructure costs. Layering in higher commodity prices will not be well received. And, as we all appreciate, the whims of a new administration in DC, is hard to predict.
  12. I just can't tell what's real or not anymore
  13. Kennesaw State is like 10 miles from my house. I should probably have gone to one of their games.
  14. That's exactly what we did. Try not to reveal too much, but it's a small, academically robust school. Same thing. Big fish in a smaller pond. She doesn't have delusions of playing pro, but still loves the game and has used to it to get into a school that otherwise would be very difficult to get in to. Another thing at the larger school girls/athletes in general don't always consider is your major. Labs and games don't mix. Pre med? Veterinary medicine? Engineering, etc? yeah. No...... That was our first question. She wants to go pre-med. Don't tell us what we want to hear. Give us the names of a few players on the team that are pre-med and can we meet them and get their candid feedback on the balance. On the overnight coach put her with a few, and after shopping, tours, etc the girls were like..."we have to study". Ironically, that was what sealed the deal.
  15. If that had any merit our 2025 o-line would be rockstars. We ran out a very good DLine this year and every bit comparable or better than Georgia.
  16. aggy? Clearly a WR away from beating us 😂
  17. Fernando Mendoza might as well be named Conner Jacobson the way that guy looks.
  18. I know it has detractors. Dunno why.
  19. I think they're gonna move shit around to try to best satisfy local TV markets. Thought I read somewhere that the locations will be finalized early next week.
  20. I'm just kidding around friends. I also do not miss RT. I had higher hopes for this squad, though. Thought it was odd on Wednesday when Lowell made a point to mention RT was in the building.
  21. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/kerrville-texas-july-4-floods-911-calls-released-rcna247503
  22. Not trying to create labels and get CR or DEI or however some perceive it (not the thread for it), but it pisses me off in a year where a Hispanic/Latino QB actually has a chance to win the Heisman, it could go to a shitbag logo pisser bastard like Diego Pavia instead of a nerdy smart guy like Fernando Mendoza.
  23. Brand of Dutch oven? As long as you didn't do anything that obviously caused the problem (like drop it), you probably can get it replaced under warranty.
