  1. Dude. Pounds per square inch. There’s like 20 square inches in that tire, and the recommended level is 35 PSI. Those tires weigh 700 pounds when inflated.
  2. It really is awful. This far into the match, I still keep catching myself almost root for Germany. Neither uniforms make sense unless the camera is zoomed in on our ladies, but from a distance (as the majority of the match is viewed) it'd be better if they just switched uniforms entirely.
  3. Galveston to Austin ~3.5 hours Galveston to Baton Rouge ~4.5 hours Galveston to College Station ~2.5 hours Can't imagine travel time is that big of a factor when looking at these three. It would certainly eliminate Oregon and USC though
  4. That’s an interesting point that’s been on my mind for some time now. After the first few months of watching drones dropping grenades, I got pretty desensitized to the violence. But at some point, it started to shift back. I think I needed to be desensitized first before I could really process my thoughts on the overall aspects of war. I came to a very simple, and obvious, conclusion. It’s absolutely crazy that one person can just decide to star a war that causes so much death, destruction, and pain for so many people. That so many of that person’s citizens just go along with it when they have no desire to be there is fascinating, for lack of a better word. I understand going to war when you’ve been attacked and your family is threatened. But just because the leader of your country tells you to? And that’s been happening throughout history. It’s all so … pointless.
  5. Absolutely. I’ve taken the balls off many a billy. Also wrestled plenty to the ground when they disagreed. But I’m in a tree shooting at the hog. And I’m running blindly while shooting wildly behind me if there’s a bear
  6. The “yet” at the end of this post is carrying a lot of weight
  7. Just use the horns up. Most of em are either from here or train here!
  8. 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?
  9. A lot of y’all owe Rodman an apology for the mean things you said here this morning
  10. 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
  11. Probably by being really good at it
  12. Ok. So then my understanding was correct. We aren’t guaranteed a spot yet
  13. 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
  14. 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?
  15. 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
  16. Yeah, I’m thinking some dirty MDMA with a hefty distribution of methamphetamine
  17. Shit. Would’ve come if I’d realized when it was. When I saw this thread I just assumed it was several weeks out
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Spent the week in Asheville getting rained on. Back home now, and seems like I brought it back with me. Y’all are welcome!
  22. 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
  23. 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.
  24. 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
