  1. That thread birthed so many surlyisms. Tites, both tacos (which I use IRL almost every time someone mentions tacos), naoch… what else am I forgetting?
  2. A lot of y’all owe Rodman an apology for the mean things you said here this morning
  3. Feels like Japan has 2-3 extra players on the pitch. We’re so slow and predictable it’s amazing they don’t have more steals
  4. Probably by being really good at it
  5. Ok. So then my understanding was correct. We aren’t guaranteed a spot yet
  6. Even then, China has the ability to add 6 more points (though that would likely drop Serbia behind us), and we only have the chance to add 3 more. Seems like the math could work out where China and Serbia could both finish ahead of us, especially if we don’t get all 3 from France. But let’s say us and China both get 3 from France. Then they’d only need 1 from Serbia to tie us in points
  7. Guess I don't understand the point system. How are our women "guaranteed" into the next round with this win? Is it just because everyone knows France is terrible? If we somehow managed to lose to them, and they beat us in straight sets, they'd get 3 points and be tied with us, wouldn't having the H2H win put them over us? Also, if China beats the Serbs there's a few scenarios where they could be tied with us (and have the H2H win) or outright ahead of us. We only have 1 point over China with an extra match under our belt. They could be up on us 5-3 after they play France, then wouldn't we also need 3 points against France? I don't see how this is guaranteed other than assuming we get 3 points against France...but assumptions aren't guarantees. Can somebody educate me?
  8. Hobo freight takes the cake on shitty tools but damn, common sense isn't that common nowadays. I wouldn’t use a jack from there, but when you have a weird project and need a specific tool you’ll never use again? You can’t beat HF
  9. Yeah, I’m thinking some dirty MDMA with a hefty distribution of methamphetamine
  10. Shit. Would’ve come if I’d realized when it was. When I saw this thread I just assumed it was several weeks out
  11. Dunno how every school handles it, but you aren't supposed to be paying players until they're enrolled. If they're following the rules, then the kids are kinda stuck for at least a semester. Otherwise, they would have to try to get out of their enrollment which would mean they likely have to admit their own violations which could potentially hurt them as much or more than the school. If they aren't following the rules, and promising the kids X amount of money on a certain date (prior to enrollment), then that could provide an opportunity for the player to flip. But I would imagine even if such promises are in place, they'd be smart enough to make those first payments even if they lacked the funds to make all future payments.
  12. I walked out of my bedroom this morning in just my undies, walked to the half bath, left the door open, started peeing, ripped a good 6-7 second fart, finished up, walked out, and our cleaning lady was standing in the kitchen just giggling. A series of random thoughts passed through my brain, but in the end, I decided she fully has my trust now.
  13. Current President Biden, operating in his official capacity as President, places control of campaign funds in the hands of his current VP so that he can continue operating in his official capacity as President with fewer distractions. And as we know, if the President does it in the capacity of his job duties, the motive for doing so cannot be considered, and it can't be deemed illegal.
  14. Spent the week in Asheville getting rained on. Back home now, and seems like I brought it back with me. Y’all are welcome!
  15. The fuck you on about now? Are you suggesting anyone thought Kamala wasn’t going to stay as his VP? I’ve never once heard that, even from the dumbest of the dumb. Their campaign signs have had both of them on it the entire time. Your attempt at comparing the two tickets is asinine. And “overturning” an election that hasn’t even happened yet? He could’ve stayed in if he wanted to. He didn’t. He dropped out like probably hundreds, if not thousands, of candidates across the country’s history have done. “Democrats” didn’t overturn an election you disingenuous troll. Go get better talking points, clown
  16. At least if it’s Kamala, all those primary votes were technically for her also. Not like there’s a single Biden voter that felt 100% confident he would make it through a full term.
  17. I guess if youve ever been homeless, you’ve problem eaten much worse than a fresh steak cooked to the correct temperature, even if done in a toilet tank
  18. What about same place as last year with the hottie bartender?
  19. Here now on a whim (after rescheduling a trip to the Caymans due to events of the past week left us not wanting to be out of the country away from the kids). Anybody got new recs since pre-Covid?
  20. I obviously have no training in this regard, but surely the snipers (whether USSS or local PD) are not ever pointing their rifles directly at whomever they're protecting, right? That's not only extremely dangerous, but from a practical/procedural standpoint, it would allow for immediate recognition of a threat because the only gun ever pointed in the direction of the Principal would be a person representing a threat. I could understand not taking a shot if you weren't positive they were holding a rifle, like maybe it's a really long lens on a camera or something, but if you know it's a rifle I don't believe for one second that they aren't authorized to take the shot if both the sniper and their spotter are in agreement. Arguing otherwise means someone could be walking directly at the President, pointing a gun at him, and the USSS wouldn't do anything other than shield the President and wait for shots to be fired before neutralizing the threat.
  21. It was stated in a post from the alleged USSS sniper, and the post contained another statement that has been shown to be absolutely false (that the sniper was watching the kid adjust the scope on his rifle for several minutes). That's good enough for me to say "no, that's not a real thing."
  22. He obviously doesn’t ROYGBIV, bro
  23. Weird. First thing the cop said was for the dude to “come back here with me for a second.” Odd request for somebody that doesn’t have a warrant. But also, what a complete lack of awareness. No way you catch the guy after that kind of head start. But good thing dude didn’t have a gun or the cop would’ve been doneski.
  24. It would seem to me that the CEO of one of the largest arms manufacturers in the world would probably have a security detail comparable to the secret service. If they didn’t have one before, I’d imagine they all do now.
