2025 GOLF: I don't think the heavy stuff's gonna come down for quite a while
This in combination with the slo-mo of Fred Couples was enormously helpful. Hard to explain but Iām basically just trying to make my swing feel as natural and economical as possible, and nothing else. Still not sure what the fuck this 5h is for, but otherwise back on track. Does anyone here carry a chipper? Why or why not? Iāve been reading up on this and it seems like everyone shits on them because itās a single purpose club, but since an average 90 golfer chips 13-15 times a round, that single purpose seems pretty important.

Insurance/Auto Valuation/Total Decision/Repair Issue
Not Geico, but Iāve been through this when a hail storm totaled my BMW. If you really want to keep the car, take the money and tell the shop you need to do a cash deal. Usually they will work with you, and you get to keep the car. Since salvage title is not a thing on cosmetic only damage (assuming thatās the case) youāll even be able to insure the car as before. BUT The catch here is that your resale/tradein value will be in the shit because even though the title wonāt be impacted, the determination that the car was totaled will wind up on the carfax report. So you better really want to keep that car or hope for a hailstorm to total it a second time right around the time you get tired of it, which also happened to my BMW right about the time I was going to sell it. So I got lucky, I guess.

Mark Texiera- native of Maryland, graduated from GT, played baseball all over, current full time resident of Greenwich Connecticut? More fucking carpetbaggers. Jesus. That guy has so little connection to our state he makes Dan Goeb seem like Stephen F Austin.

Come on man, thatās Mary Tyler Moore, the āprettiest legs in Hollywood.ā We also saw her hands and heard her voice. Thatās one of two āRichard Diamondā trivia questions. The other is what show did David Jansen star in as the title character before The Fugitive.

Not only that, but Judaism had only been mostly Monotheistic for a little over 5 centuries in the time of Christ. In other words, the core of the Old Testament is written from the perspective not of Rabbinic Judaism of Yahwism, where Yahweh is the regional God and there are others around, almost 1000 years before it became mostly monotheistic Judaism in the 6th century BC, when the Torah was sort of retconned into its current form. So not just the violence but the jealously makes a lot more sense when Israelites are considering throwing some burnt ends towards Baal. Also, Yahweh had a girlfriend, a creation deity named Ashereh, who was previously the wife or baby mama to the supreme god of the Canaanites, El, when Yahweh first emerges out of the desert as a storm god from the Peninsula before ultimately merging with El, like an Arabian Mr Ripley. And then Jesus shows up a a few hundred years later and says essentially- āstop arguing about the law, lawyers. The law is love. Love God, love your neighbor. Thatās literally the whole thing.ā And now 2000 years after that, fundamentalists are still confidently citing Leviticus when they explain how Jesus didnāt really mean what he said.

2024 - 2025 Dallas Mavericks Season Thread - This time we're not happy to just be here.
The Cuban interview on the DLLS podcast is good. Says in retrospect he wishes he put the Mavs out for open bid, and was also upset when he heard about the trade. Other stuff - the 2006 Championship was stolen - The NBA made them take out the part in the contract about operational control (Stein pushed back) - He still has a close relationship with the team, mentions Rick, Ethan, and says Patrick Dumont really wants to win. - Pretty clearly thereās no relationship or love lost with Nico - Heās very excited about Cooper Flag - The NBA is moving towards more PE concerns than what the fans want - He makes a good case why expansion probably isnāt in the cards anytime soon Oh and I donāt know what Overwatch is, but fire Nico

Glad you agree about red flag laws, but let me tell you from first hand experience- everything else is mostly wrong. I mean, we spend money on this stuff but what we do is in some ways worse than nothing. The largest provider of Mental Health services in Travis county and every other major urban area in this country is the county jail.

Oh, so then you agree that we need universal mental health care and red flag laws, yes?

Absolutely. But you were an evangelical at one point, and Iām assuming it left you with things that you are still processing.

Religiously, I am kind of in a rut (am I alone )
One of the reasons I recommend that book to former evangelicals in particular is that I think it gives them a more authentic understanding of Christās gospel for what it actually is, which seems to help disentangle āChristianityā from the trauma they experienced. But I always recommend some Alan Watts along side it, because itās important for you to understand that atheism or other forms of explicit rejection are also a form of evangelism, as Watts jokes in the video above that the atheist proclaims āthere is no God and I am his prophet.ā So itās not a question of āgoing backā to God or Christianity or whatever, but seeing and accepting the reality that there is no meaningful distinction between without and within, and thus realizing that alienation is a fiction. Tat tvam asi. Thou art that. Itās true across time and people and teachings. The true religion is the religion of no religion, where things are one. Thatās the promise, or heaven, or enlightenment, or nirvana, or whatever you want to call it. Whether we look to Revelation where it says that Heaven and Earth give way to a new Jerusalem, or in Buddhism where the there is no longer any temple or any gong, because the temple has become the whole world and the gong is all around.
