  1. I really enjoyed it. So many films and shows these days are polluted with quick cuts, frenetic editing, and superfluous dialogue created for today’s short attention span, instant gratification junkies. It was awesome to sit in those moments and enjoy the treat of visual storytelling. Making us sit through multiple listens of the entire recording every time Carol called them made my inner troll laugh. I pictured people yelling at the tv. It makes it even more funny to know that people got so impatient that they literally fast forwarded parts of the episode.
  2. Go Navy, beat Army! The photo above is the last boat I served on and was taken from a chopper during our Alpha Trials - first underway on nuclear power, first dive, high speed maneuvers, surface, etc. The 688 class boats were badass. Wish I could go to sea on one of the new Virginia class attack boats.
  3. Certainly not the best robot, but its level of evil is worth noting for posterity.
  4. Sark hasn’t commented lately about the culture connection of wins on the field and team GPA. The answer must be that the team GPA has slipped.
  5. In Waves and War. Wow, this was a great, but hard watch. I’ve lost two veteran comrades to “post combat complications” or other tap dancing euphemisms for suicide. Along with another very close friend and professional colleague who did not serve in the military. This doc focuses on vets who served in Seal teams and struggled with myriad debilitating issues of TBI, PTSD, depression, anxiety, panic disorder, survivors guilt, etc. That’s the difficult part; watching these warriors tell their stories and showing how their lives and relationships were impacted. It gets fascinating when showing the treatments consisting of psychedelic microdosing and guided trips run by an American in Mexico. I won’t spoil it by discussing the results, but I will say I hope this type of therapy gets more widespread acceptance and acceptance. I hope anyone struggling with any of these issues finds a path to relief from the symptoms and gets genuine healing and peace.
  6. Any of you Bobcats hearing any scuttlebut on the veracity of this and possible destinations?
  7. Rectoplasm.
  8. Anyone missing Ewers yet? At last he had finesse and touch in on short and intermediate passes.
  9. Very inspired drive
  10. If Texas is in a dogfight with UTEP, just wait til the SEC grind.
  11. This song always makes me feel sad for anyone who never chased their dreams or never even realized they were allowed to have dreams to chase.
  12. Bonus points for not making it benign. The spewing of seed displays more vitality than Jonas or Joao can muster to attack each other and give us a compelling race.
  13. Yeah, I started making plans before going to the site. Bummer.
  14. Guess I’ll be headed to Europe to catch at least one of the Radiohead shows. You have to wonder if these may be the last shows for them.
  15. Wow Onion, that’s on the nose. 🫣🫡
  16. Damn, that’s how a champion finishes! Chapeau, Papillon. Vive le France!
  17. It’s fascinating to watch her continue adding elite entries into an already mind bending palmares. Man or woman, one of the greatest to ever race bicycles across multiple disciplines. What a legend.
  18. For real. Clinging onto the Pogi group through sheer tyranny of will.
  19. Absolutely. That’s my favorite part of this years race so far.
  20. About what I expected. Tadej is on a completely different level. God tier cycling Jonas had a brief window to be at that level, but he’s declined while Pogi has progressed. And Visma blew up their own team today.
  21. It was a thing of beauty. Glad he neutralized that dumbass before he could ruin the day for any of the riders.
  22. Man, I’m just not seeing what a lot of people are seeing and talking about saying aside from the TT, Jonas can stay with Pogi. On stage 10 I saw Pogi finally get fed up with Matteo’s toothless accelerations and showed Visma what an earnest attack with teeth looks like. Yes, Jonas was able to get back on his wheel after being gapped, but it looked to me like he was making a hard effort to get there. I think if Tadej had taken off and gone hard again just as Jonas caught up and relaxed, he could have dropped him and put at least another ten seconds or so into him. No one else seems to see it that way, so I’m not trying to be “right.” Just how it felt watching it live. Haven’t watched any replays. I understand what Visma is trying to do, and I agree with the strategy. They worked it to perfection in 2022, hitting Pogi with coordinated attacks on the Galibier from Roglic and Jonas, even G joined in for a couple of hard accelerations. Pogi also had to watch Kuss in case Jonas went with him to be launched into a significant attack. They assaulted him repeatedly with legit attacks to make him actually burn those matches, rather than swatting flies like Mondays stage 10. Gradient and altitude were a factor that day, too. They were able to finish him on the Col du Granon. Anyway, it’s a good plan, but they’re going to have to find a way to hit him harder if they want to compete for the GC. I like Matteo, but him and Jonas are the only Visma riders Tadej needs to chase if they attack. Maybe Visma is saving something, and despite the UAE team situation, I don’t see anyone hurting Pogi. He’s just a legend. I do hope Visma, Healy, Remco, or someone makes a real challenge of it. The Pogacar domination era is fascinating historically, but not so interesting to watch when a grand tour is decided so soon.
  23. I would never. Pogi, on the other hand….
